He thought about what had happened tonight. If it weren't for Qi Jiu, the He family might have been subjected to cyberbullying the next day, and even the He family's reputation would have been affected.

A whole group of pharmacists, and they can't even save one person?

Netizens don't care whether something is poison or disease; as long as they can use their keyboards, they can ignore the truth. Although these words are harsh, the title of 'keyboard warrior' isn't given lightly.

The junior's performance that night was truly outstanding.

However, being excellent is not a bad thing, and sometimes showing one's talent is not a bad thing either.

"Grandpa, my junior and I only spent time together at school, and I never saw her mention drugs during that time. So Grandpa, my junior might not be a drug user, and she's very talented, isn't she?"

After He Qingfeng finished speaking, he looked at his grandfather with some nervousness in his eyes.

They were afraid that Old Master He would say something they couldn't accept the next second.

Grandpa He looked at him, his previously expressionless face suddenly breaking into a smile. "Why are you so nervous? I didn't say anything, and I didn't deny Qiqi's excellence."

Not only did they not deny it, they actually admired it. At Qiqi's age, their group was probably still doing something else entirely.

He, as the grandfather, knew quite well what his grandson was thinking.

"Whether she's a poisoner or not, you don't need to worry. Even if that little girl is a poisoner, so what? She helped the He family today, so she's their benefactor. Although the Chinese government doesn't really like poisoners, there will always be someone who does."

Grandpa He's words had a deeper meaning.

In fact, he was not sensitive to the identity of a poisoner or a pharmacist. The reason why poisoners are despised by the world is simply because the things they research can harm lives, unlike pharmacists who are like doctors who heal and save lives.

People may not understand pharmacists, so in their eyes, pharmacists and doctors are almost synonymous.

In their eyes, poison masters are no different from demonic cults. They're all things that people with ill intentions learn.

Hearing this, He Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how afraid he was of his grandfather saying something bad about Qiqi.

Fortunately.

"Qiqi is definitely not as simple as she says. She probably skipped a lot of things in the process, and her skills are more than enough to surpass ours. As for her identity, as long as she doesn't say, we don't need to pry into it."

You should too; it's basic courtesy.

Whether it's medicine or poison, you all stayed by Qiqi's side, not to deliberately curry favor, but you should have learned some of her skills. I think she's kind-hearted by nature, and even if she's a poison master, she won't be like what people say.

Besides, she helped the He family tonight, didn't she? Getting along well with her won't hurt in the future.

He Qingfeng paused, holding the teacup. He hadn't expected Qi Jiu to receive such high praise from his grandfather.

The weight that had been hanging over my heart finally lifted.

"I see."

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while about what happened that night. Just as He Qingfeng was about to open the door and leave, the old man suddenly called him back.

"Gentle breeze!"

"grandfather?"

Grandpa He sat on the sofa and looked at him. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly smiled. "It's alright, get some rest."

He Qingfeng was taken aback, and his gaze towards him was clearly a little strange, but in the end he still nodded, "Grandpa too."

He then closed the door.

Suddenly, only Old Master He was left in the room. He sat on the sofa, and his expression was not good, as if he was thinking about something.

He should be happy with how things have turned out today.

He got up, leaned on his cane, went to the bookshelf behind his desk, squatted down, opened the bottom shelf, and took out a safe.

With a 'click', the box opened.

The first thing that catches the eye is a couple, smiling brightly. The photo is clearly quite old; the edges are yellowed, and the rest shows signs of frequent handling.

The woman in the photo is heavily pregnant.

Grandpa He held the photo in his hand, his eyes instantly welling up with tears. "Just a little bit more... just a little bit more... I almost had the courage to tell Qingfeng the truth."

With reddened eyes, the old man held a tissue, his usual serious demeanor long gone, now choking up like a child.

“But I’m too scared. I don’t know how Qingfeng will react if he finds out about this. It’s not the right time yet. But if you don’t come back soon, Qingfeng won’t even get to see his wife.”

He also wanted to see his son and daughter-in-law, who had been missing for many years.

The He family home was quiet, yet it exuded an inexplicable loneliness. At night, the stillness was even more melancholic.

In the villa area, Qi Jiu, with wet hair, walked out of the bathroom wearing the new pajamas prepared by Qi Silin.

She looked at the empty room and tilted her head.

They're still not back? There's so much work to do.

At this moment in the study, Liu Yun stood still, not daring to run around at all; in fact, he could be described as somewhat restrained.

He knew that Miss Qi was somewhere in the villa. It was so late and dark. It would be terrible if she saw something she shouldn't have.

He truly didn't understand why his master was working during such a wonderful time; wasn't that a waste of time?

Qi Silin had only taken off his coat; his shirt was still on.

"Liu Yun, go and investigate that middle-aged man from tonight again. Check the whole process to see if there are any suspicious people."

Tonight, he and He Qingfeng checked the surveillance footage at the He family's residence.

Perhaps because the He family hasn't held a seminar for a long time, and there are no outsiders in the He family now, many of the surveillance cameras have some problems. Some of the surveillance footage is too old and the images are not clear.

The He family's house is so large, yet there are blind spots that are not visible; this is simply fatal.

Although some information was found, it was far from enough to know the whole story completely.

"clear."

As Liu Yun was speaking, she saw Qi Silin looking hesitant and unsure of what to say. Then she looked up and saw her master's murderous expression.

Liu Yun: "..." Okay, okay, he said.

“Master, the He family and the Qi family are not closely related. In fact, they might not even meet once in eight hundred years. They just attended a seminar. You could have just left it alone. Why are you helping them so much?”

Liu Yun didn't follow Qi Silin the whole time today, so she didn't know many of the details and could only guess based on Qi Silin and Qi Jiu's conversation.

Qi Silin pursed his lips. "Qiqi will not stand idly by. In fact, she will keep an eye on things until the very end. It is the He family that has gotten into trouble."
