"This model...it really does look quite realistic."

He didn't miss the scrutiny in his eyes about Qi Jiu, but he remained completely composed. "Of course, I met a friend abroad who's passionate about weapons, and he gave it to me. I heard he spent a considerable amount of money on it."

Linde: "..." Very good.

In their eyes, the girl's villa was like an art exhibition, with things that amazed them everywhere.

However, time was still tight, and the group quickly arrived at the He family's house.

Upon seeing the car carrying several people, the He family's butler immediately came forward. "Young Master."

Where is Grandpa?

He Qingfeng looked around at the tight security surrounding the He family's residence, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

Before this incident occurred, the He family had never acted like this before.

"In the study, the middle-aged man was in the lounge. The master found many reasons to keep him there."

He Qingfeng nodded. Qi Jiu was about to take a step away, but after taking only two steps, she turned back.

"Miss Qi?" The He family's butler looked at Qi Jiu with a wide grin.

Now, who in the He family doesn't know this little girl? She's practically the He family's savior.

"When we arrived, we were followed by a few people. Please have the housekeeper deal with them to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for the He family."

Butler He quickly realized what was happening, nodded to Qi Jiu, and walked straight towards the door.

Her every move was observed by Chu Cangyu, who was standing beside her. He was stunned and asked, "Godfather, how did you find out? You have this ability?"

Detective? Infiltrator?

If Qi Jiu hadn't pointed it out, none of them would have noticed that someone was following them.

Qi Jiu smiled and said, "I used to be abroad, but it's not as safe as China. Sometimes I would pass through war-torn countries. Although murder is illegal in some countries, it's difficult for the government to regulate things like armed robbery, so they are more sensitive to such matters."

As he spoke, the others around him understood.

"So, when you were abroad, did you have a tough time too?"

Although they rarely travel abroad, they have seen news reports about the safety of foreign countries.

Shootings and robberies happen almost every day, and the police simply can't control them.

Police: "..." We can't do anything about it, not even a little bit.

The girl shook her head. "It's alright. Although it's not as safe as China, I've honed a lot of skills and made many friends. I can handle things now."

While they were chatting, just as they arrived at the main building, they saw Old Master He coming out of his study.

"He's still in the lounge. I pretended he had some health problems and didn't let him wander around. I also had the housekeeper keep an eye on him."

The girl nodded. "I'll go take a look first. You guys wait for me here."

“I’ll go with you.” He Qingfeng stood up from his seat, looking at the girl with a serious expression.

She waved her hand, "No need, too many people would only alert them."

Moreover, many things are still unknown, so sending He Qingfeng is indeed a bit risky. At least she herself can handle it.

Arriving at the entrance of the lounge, she smiled as she looked at Butler He Ai, who had been standing guard there.

"Miss Qi, the matter you just asked us to handle has been resolved. Would you like to go in and see him now?"

Qi Jiu nodded. "Do you know pharmacology?"

Although the person in front of me isn't a formally licensed pharmacist, given the influence of the He family, they should know a little bit. Moreover, as the butler, they should know quite a bit.

As expected, Butler He nodded. "Is there anything you need me to do?"

The girl took a step forward and whispered in Butler He's ear, "Go and get me some herbal soup to reduce my internal heat, and be quick."

She wanted to see if the person who had taken the poison would have any pharmacological effects.

Butler He was quick; in just five minutes, he brought over a bowl of still-steaming herbal soup.

"Be careful, it's hot. This is a herbal soup to clear heat and reduce inflammation."

The girl thanked him and then pushed open the door to enter.

In the simple room, the middle-aged man sat on the bed, staring at the scenery outside the window, motionless, like a painting.

The shirt I wore to yesterday's seminar seemed a bit out of place in this simple room.

How are you feeling?

The middle-aged man turned his head, looked at Qi Jiu, and smiled.

"I feel much better now. I'm really grateful to the He family, but I feel like my illness is almost completely cured. I wonder when I can leave?"

Qi Jiu stood by the bed with a gentle smile on her lips.

“Your body can’t leave right now; the toxins haven’t been completely cleared from your body. Besides, this is the He family’s home. We not only have to consider your health, but also the reputation of the He family, with so many media outlets watching. Please be understanding.”

The person on the bed didn't speak, but the little girl spoke again. "You...are you in a hurry?"

It sounded like a casual inquiry, or perhaps a test, but the girl hid it well, and the other party didn't notice her true intentions.

That seemed like she was genuinely looking out for his sake.

The middle-aged man smiled, but a hint of anxiety could be seen in the curve of his lips.

"Actually, it's alright. I'm here to attend the He family's seminar, and I'm worried that my wife and children will get anxious if I don't go back for such a long time."

Speaking of this, Qi Jiu handed over the medicine she was holding.

"Don't worry about that. With such a big incident yesterday, the He family couldn't hide it anymore, so the outside world already knows about it."

She paused as she spoke.

"As for your wife and children... they shouldn't be too worried now. The poison in your body is gone, the outside world knows that you are safe and sound, and your wife and children will see that."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the middle-aged man's lips on the bed froze instantly, and he began to blink faster without realizing it.

Looking at Qi Jiu's smile, he dared not meet her gaze, so he lowered his eyes to look at the soup in the bowl in his hand.

From an angle unseen by others, his eyes held regret, fear, and even some worry.

Are we supposed to stay here forever? But after they heard the news, they couldn't wait any longer; he wasn't supposed to live! Everything that's happening now is beyond our expectations.

The girl saw him burying his head deep in his hands, holding the medicine without moving, and kindly reminded him from the side.

"If you don't drink this medicine soon, it will get cold. It's best to drink it while it's hot."

The man slowly raised his eyes to look at Qi Jiu, a forced smile appearing on his lips, "Okay, okay..."

His fingers, which were holding the bowl, were turning slightly white, as if he had something difficult to say.
