In the living room, four people sat opposite each other in a slightly solemn atmosphere. The Zhao couple eagerly waited for Gu Yu's final diagnosis.
Gu Yu looked solemn. He took a sip of tea and looked up at the couple.
Mr. Zhao held his breath and spoke first: "Doctor Gu, if you have any questions, just tell me! My husband and I can handle it."
Mrs. Zhao didn't dare to say anything, but nodded repeatedly.
"The situation is more troublesome than I imagined. My initial diagnosis is chronic poisoning. I believe you two have noticed that Miss Zhao is now experiencing obvious withdrawal symptoms. In my opinion, she is addicted to the teahouse's food."
The first thing the couple thought of was poison!
"Impossible! My daughter has always been very well behaved. How could she possibly be into drugs? Besides, we suspected something at the hospital and had a blood test, and there was nothing wrong!"
Mrs. Zhao also didn't believe it and echoed, "Doctor Gu, could it be that you made a mistake somewhere?"
"Her symptoms were already very obvious. Just because the hospital didn't test positive doesn't mean she doesn't have it. New drugs are constantly emerging, and many can't even be detected by hospitals. I don't know what she took, but I'm certain the tea has something in it that's similar to drugs."
Gu Yu's firm tone broke Mrs. Zhao's defense. She couldn't help crying out loud and grabbed her husband's sleeve.
"What should I do? She's so young, how could she suddenly get involved in something like this?"
Mr. Zhao's face was solemn, and he asked again: "Doctor Gu, are you sure?"
"I can vouch for it with my own reputation! If you two don't trust me, you can always seek help from others."
Mr. Zhao didn't dare to anger Gu Yu. If even he couldn't help, then he could only ask Professor Alice for help. But given their status, how could they dare to ask Professor Alice to treat their daughter?
"Doctor Gu, you just said it might be something new?"
Gu Yu nodded: "I heard that many people in Kyoto are now fascinated by things in teahouses. If you don't believe it, then wait and see after the New Year. I think people will notice it soon."
Miss Zhao's seizure at the party was an accident, which also means that other people have the same hidden dangers and it is only a matter of time before they are discovered.
Mr. Zhao sighed: "Is this thing fatal?"
"Miss Zhao's pulse indicates chronic poisoning. Her pulse is chaotic and her Yang Qi is insufficient. If this continues, her body will definitely have problems. If I'm not mistaken, she hasn't eaten anything in this period of time! She can't even drink water."
Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly. "How can she eat? She starts vomiting when she sees food near her. She even vomits when she drinks water. We have no idea what to do! Please, find a way to save her."
"Then take this opportunity to help her quit."
When the couple heard this, they were stunned.
"Quit...quit?" Madam Zhao frowned, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes: "Wouldn't that be very painful?"
"Do you want her to die because of this thing, or let her get through it and return to her previous state? This thing will cause her to hallucinate. If you let her continue, she might become ruthless and go completely crazy."
Gu Yu spoke very sternly, and Mrs. Zhao was shaken.
"Doctor Gu, will her life be in danger if she doesn't eat that thing?"
Gu Yu smiled: "Have you ever seen anyone die because of lack of drugs?"
They are unable to bear the pain brought by withdrawal and either hurt themselves or others.
Mr. Zhao understood: "I understand, Doctor Gu, everything is up to you."
Gu Yu explained some precautions and prescribed some medicine to help relieve the pain before taking Lu An Ning away.
From beginning to end, Lu Anning followed Gu Yu quietly without saying a word. It was not until they came out of Zhao's house that Gu Yu saw her serious expression and called her.
"Little sister, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Anning forced a smile and said, "Nothing."
She just couldn't help but think of what that girl looked like now. If she had stopped Bai Lu earlier, Miss Zhao wouldn't have become like this!
"No one would have thought that Bai Lu was so bold as to openly sell drugs in a teahouse."
"She's deceiving! So many people have fallen for the teahouse's stuff, what are they going to do in the future? Bailu, how did she end up being involved with drugs?"
"Then we need to ask her what she went through while abroad. Now it's clear that there's something wrong with Bai Lu. Everyone needs to be extra careful from now on. You and Bai Lu have a deep grudge. I'm worried that she will use this to harm you and those around you."
This is exactly what Lu Anning is most worried about!
"You must be careful! Actually, I've already sent the sample to Mom's lab for component analysis. I wonder if Mom has any idea how to deal with this thing?"
Lu Anning's words enlightened Gu Yu: "You're right! Let me discuss this with Mom. Since it's poisonous, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, perhaps detoxification can be used to treat it."
The acupuncture outline his mother had taught him seemed to include some information on detoxification. However, the content was too obscure, and Gu Yu only memorized it and still hadn't grasped its essence.
Lu Anning also thought about telling those people not to buy anything from the teahouse anymore. However, they were already hooked, and even if he told them, they probably wouldn't believe him.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that a simple cup of tea could contain addictive poison?
"Perhaps, we can directly report this to the police and file a case. However, this requires the cooperation of the Zhao family. After all, they are the victims."
