Jiang Qiao's words left the group somewhat dumbfounded. "Ah, we also need to exercise? Aren't there medicines?"

Jiang Qiao snorted, "Every medicine has some side effects, so we should take as little as possible. Let's focus on building up our bodies first. No matter how serious the illness, as long as our spirits hold up, nothing else matters."

Jiang Qiao's lunch completely won over these grown men. He made their ordinary porridge and steamed buns taste like a feast, which was incomparable to what they had eaten before.

Moreover, these people also had a feeling that their bodies had regained their strength.

In front of Jiang Qiao, they didn't hide anything and told him how they felt. They also mentioned that after the acupuncture, three people went out to examine their bodies.

"Go ahead and investigate. I'm not afraid of being investigated anyway. It's good that someone can help me test your treatment effectiveness. From now on, you'll follow my instructions. As long as you do as I say, maybe the few of us can create a miracle. Maybe you really won't have to die here."

These people might not believe what others say, but they truly believe what Jiang Qiao says. They had heard of Jiang Qiao's reputation before; not only was she skilled in martial arts, but she was also highly skilled in medicine. They heard that she could even bring people who were on the verge of death back to life. Could this girl be simple?

"Jiang Qiao, we brothers are entrusting our lives to you. You tell us what to do, and we'll do it."

Jiang Qiao chuckled twice. "No, you should listen to your superiors. My words don't carry any weight. If I anger them one day, they might just kill me."

So, as long as I'm here, I will do my best to treat you, regardless of what you've done in the past. But in my eyes, you are patients, and moreover, you are my compatriots. Do you understand what I mean?

They're all shrewd people; how could they not understand what Jiang Qiao meant?

"I understand, Jiang Qiao. Don't worry. We've already suffered a loss once, but we can't continue to suffer losses unless we don't want to live. We're different from them."

There's no point in saying more; these people's mindsets can't be changed overnight.

She didn't intend to make these people listen to her in a short time; she didn't think she had that ability yet.

However, some things can't withstand the test of time. She has to take her time to research the antidote, which is not something that can be done in a day or two. The key point is that the other party has been researching for so many years and still has no results. She has plenty of time to wear them down.

In fact, Jiang Qiao wanted to win over the woman behind the scenes, but unfortunately, she was an old fox and would definitely not show herself so easily.

"Go back and rest. We'll meet at the riverbank around 1 a.m. They won't give us any good food, so we'll have to fend for ourselves."

Jiang Qiao finished packing and announced that everyone should go back to their rooms. She didn't talk to Zhang Erhu much alone. He had just arrived and hadn't figured out the situation yet, so there was no rush.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Don't worry, everything is still under control. Just keep an eye on their movements."

Jiang Qiao and Zhang Erhu were carrying state-of-the-art eavesdropping devices. Without them, she really wouldn't dare to challenge them so directly. If she angered them, she would have to protect herself and Zhang Erhu, so she wouldn't have the energy.

With this thing around, she could feel a little more at ease; at least she needed to let outsiders know their current situation.

Even if they don't need to contact the outside world, their comrades outside can know their whereabouts at any time.

In fact, she felt that those hidden enemies were probably already the focus of Liu Zhanyu and his group's attention.

Jiang Qiao had finished eating and was fine, but some people couldn't stand seeing her idle. Sure enough, Ye Xiuhe, who had just fought with her, came over to cause trouble.

Jiang Qiao only learned the woman's name through those three people.

Even if this person's name is Ye Xiuhe, those people also said that it's most likely a fake name; no one would use their real name.

This person still had that smug look on her face, as if she wasn't the one who got slapped twice before.

"Oh, you've eaten your fill? Since you're alright, why don't you hurry over and brew some medicine for them?"

Jiang Qiao understood that one of these two people was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, but she didn't know what their purpose was.

Is he trying to provoke her so that he can fight her?

He scoffed dismissively, "Is it any of your business? Are you the doctor or am I?"

I'm only responsible for treating these four people right now. I know how to treat them myself, so stop spouting nonsense. If you're so capable, do it yourself.

Jiang Qiao was genuinely disrespectful, and Ye Xiuhe was even more shameless, her words being nothing short of a blatant threat.

"Jiang Qiao, don't be arrogant. I warned you before, don't push me to take action against your family."

Jiang Qiao genuinely didn't want to pay attention to this woman, so she lowered her head and just walked her own way. However, it was clear that Ye Xiuhe had no intention of letting her go.

"Jiang Qiao, look at what I have in my hand. If this were used on you or your family, just imagine how unpleasant it would feel, right?"

Jiang Qiao glanced at what Ye Xiuhe was holding, and although she was furious, she had to remain calm.

"What are you holding that makes you so smug?"

Ye Xiuhe looked at Jiang Qiao again with a probing gaze. "You really don't know?"

Jiang Qiao curled her lip. "You're just being mysterious. I advise you to give up. If you're so capable, go out and threaten others. I'm all here, and I can't do anything about my family. Do whatever you want, and don't waste your breath on me."

"If you keep babbling at me, I'll beat you up. And next time it won't just be a slap; you'd better think twice about who you are!"

He said those words, turned around and left, ignoring the madman completely.

However, even if she didn't want to pay attention, Ye Xiuhe wouldn't let her off the hook.

He shouted loudly at Jiang Qiao's back, "Jiang Qiao, this stuff is called morphine, it's what we used to call opium, it's very addictive, you should know what it does, haha, if you don't behave in the future, I can give you a couple of injections to try, the taste is wonderful."

Jiang Qiao didn't even turn his head, but Ye Xiuhe, like a lunatic, was afraid that Jiang Qiao hadn't heard her, so she jogged over and started rambling on about the various tastes of morphine.

The other party was practically offering herself up for her to beat up, so she wasn't going to let the opportunity pass. She turned around, threw a punch, and started fighting with Ye Xiuhe again.

To her surprise, Ye Xiuhe suddenly said, "Jiang Qiao, thank you—"

Before Jiang Qiao could react, Ye Xiuhe kicked him. Having gained the upper hand, Ye Xiuhe didn't linger. Instead, she ran away and gave Jiang Qiao a smug smile.

"Don't be so arrogant. Do you really think I can't beat you?"

Jiang Qiao was so angry that she pointed at the other person and said, "Just wait, sooner or later, I'll beat you to a pulp."
