He Qingfeng was taken aback. "A safe box? What safe box?"

As he spoke, he walked to Qi Jiu's side, followed her gaze, and looked at the small box on the bookshelf, then paused, his expression shifting inscrutable.

"Qiqi, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I've never seen this box before. This is the first time I've ever seen it."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on He Qingfeng's face. Looking at the insurance box on the bookshelf, he subconsciously reached out, but he didn't expect…

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the girl calmly pulled his hand back.

"Don't touch it yet. There's something on this box. Grandpa He must have been poisoned because he touched something on this box. The toxins are still there."

Her voice was very calm, but He Qingfeng beside her was not so calm. He stared at the safe box for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

"Did someone deliberately put this in Grandpa's room? Is that why Grandpa touched it?"

The girl shook her head. "I don't know. We'll have to wait until Grandpa He wakes up. We can only leave this here for now. What if this thing originally belonged to Grandpa He?"

Everyone has some little secrets, even those between grandfather and grandson.

As she spoke, she turned around and began searching for other traces in the rest of the room. He Qingfeng, seeing her actions, quickly joined in.

Qi Jiu went to the window, her eyes scanning every detail like a scanner, not wanting to miss a single thing.

Suddenly, her gaze stopped, fixing on the top of the window, her eyes slightly narrowed.

It's normal for a window to be damaged, but this damage doesn't seem to be the result of opening and closing the window and letting it get wet from wind and rain. The signs of human intervention are quite obvious. Old Master He isn't a killer, so it's understandable that he overlooked it.

"bite!"

In the quiet room, Qi Jiu's phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the note, the girl's lips curled into a slight smile. "The medicine has arrived."

He Qingfeng was taken aback. "So fast?"

It's only been two or three hours since the start. Although the medicine was delivered by someone else, it's still a bit too fast for it to be transported from H continent in just two or three hours.

Or is it that the junior student has a wide circle of friends and happens to have connections in China?

"Basic stuff, basic stuff." The girl waved her hand dismissively and turned to walk towards the door.

He Qingfeng: "..." If he wasn't mistaken, did he see a hint of arrogance in the junior's eyes?

At the entrance of the He family's residence, He Qingfeng had just caught up when he saw Qi Jiu talking to a burly man. They looked like they had known each other for a long time.

The man was wearing black sportswear, and had probably just finished exercising, as he had rolled up his sleeves, revealing his toned muscles.

He was looking at the girl with a smile, a look that seemed somewhat incongruous with the muscles on his body.

"These are the medicinal herbs you requested. Do you think this is enough?"

Qi Jiu unwrapped the paper-wrapped herbs and nodded. "That's enough, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard at all!"

The burly man scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. If it weren't for his muscles, he would probably seem quite approachable.

He Qingfeng: "..."

After the burly man left, Qi Jiu turned around and saw He Qingfeng still standing there. She raised an eyebrow. "Why are you standing here? It's so cold outside, why don't you come inside and wait?"

He Qingfeng pursed his lips somewhat shyly: "I originally asked you for help, and I felt bad seeing you so busy, so I thought I'd help you out. I saw you two chatting so happily, so I didn't want to interrupt."

He paused, his eyes probing. "Was that person your friend?"

The girl shook her head. "They are my friend's...brothers. They specialize in selling herbs, so they have a more complete selection of herbs. That's why many herbs don't need to be picked in H Continent now."

She remained completely calm and composed, instantly convincing He Qingfeng that it was true.

"Thank you so much, Qiqi. Please thank your friend for me when you have time. If anything happens in the future, the He family will do everything in its power."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

This time, Qi Jiu personally prepared the medicine. In addition, there were many extraction steps, which even Steward He and He Qingfeng might not have been able to accomplish. Therefore, she did everything herself from beginning to end.

He Qingfeng wanted to lend a hand, but seeing that he couldn't get involved in the process, he could only go back to his room to take care of his grandfather.

By the time the antidote was prepared, almost two hours had passed, and it was getting dark.

Thanks to the previous medication, although Grandpa He has not yet woken up, the poison has not worsened.

"Senior, feed it to Grandpa He."

Qi Jiu handed a small porcelain bottle to He Qingfeng and stretched her neck.

Seeing this, He Qingfeng looked at her with even greater gratitude, "Thank you."

He now knows that no matter how many times he says thank you, the debt of gratitude he owes from the moment they met can never be repaid.

He will do everything he can to help her afterwards!

"It's alright."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, He Qingfeng opened the small porcelain bottle in his hand, smelled the strange-smelling liquid inside, and without the slightest hesitation, fed it into the mouth of Old Master He.

"It will take effect in ten minutes. You've had a hard afternoon, take a rest."

Although Jiang Xin and the others hadn't left the He family yet, the person closest to Old Master He was still He Qingfeng. It seemed that while she was making the antidote, this guy hadn't been able to put his mind at ease.

He Qingfeng nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on Old Master He.

Seeing this, Qi Jiu said nothing more.

Jiang Xin looked at Qi Jiu, who had finally taken a break after a busy afternoon, and felt a mixture of envy and heartache in her eyes.

"Qiqi, sometimes I really envy you for being able to do everything, but sometimes I also feel sorry for you." Jiang Xin shook her head helplessly.

Sometimes, just looking at Qi Jiu makes me feel tired. Being a spokesperson for Xingyue is already exhausting, but she has so many other roles as well.

Qi Jiu's life is just like that of a female protagonist in a novel, but after spending so much time together, she has come to realize that being a female protagonist in a novel is not an easy task.

Qi Jiu smiled and said, "It's alright. It's a bit tiring, but sometimes I'm really glad that I have this skill."

If she weren't a poison master, Old Master He would probably be dead here today.

If she weren't a poison master, the He family would have been doomed the moment she first came to the He family for the seminar. So, sometimes, having more skills can be quite useful.

After saying that, Jiang Xin smiled helplessly. "Yes, it's always good to have more skills."
