"grandfather!"
"dad!"
"What's going on?!"
The Zhao family members gathered around in fear from all sides.
The screams of women, the roars of men, and the clatter of tables and chairs instantly shattered the facade of prosperity! The bodyguards drew their guns abruptly, the dark muzzles pointing wildly in all directions, and the scene spiraled completely out of control.
The eldest aunt and third aunt were the first to rush over, their fingernails almost digging into Bai Yajing's face, their voices shrill and piercing: "It's you! Did you poison her? You jinx from the mainland! You've only just arrived and you're already harming people!"
"It must be that poor wretch! She took bribes and wanted to harm the Zhao family head!"
And you're dragging our Bai family down with you! You're a jinx!
Bai Yunchang's face turned deathly pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat. He suddenly pointed to the door and shouted, "Someone come here! Call the police! Arrest her!"
The old man closed his eyes, his heart filled with bitterness.
Without saying a word, Bai Yajing smiled and raised her hand, slapping each of the two irritable people.
Bai Yunchang, who tried to stop her, was also kicked away by her.
"I've put up with your nagging for far too long! Get lost!"
Amidst the utter chaos and countless bewildered and astonished gazes, he strode quickly to Old Master Zhao's collapsed body.
He said to the Zhao family member, "I am a doctor, may I take a look at him?"
The Zhao family looked at her with suspicion and uncertainty, unsure whether to let her see.
Grandpa Bai sighed, "My granddaughter is a descendant of the Xiang family!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest son of the Zhao family gritted his teeth and said, "Our doctor will take ten minutes to arrive. Let her see him first!"
No one else objected and made way for them.
The family doctor lives in the side building and is probably asleep by now. It will take some time for him to get here, but the old man's condition clearly can't wait.
With permission, she knelt down and quickly ran her fingertips along the side of her neck to examine her eyelids.
"Shut up, all of you!" she snapped, her voice carrying through the entire hall and strangely drowning out all the noise.
The next second, she took out an antique pear wood needle box from her bosom. Opening it, a faint glint of cold light appeared, revealing a row of silver needles of varying lengths lying quietly inside.
She picked up a three-inch-long acupuncture needle, her fingertips steady without the slightest tremor. Her gaze was calm and focused, and she placed the needle precisely—piercing straight into the center!
Immediately afterwards, the second needle, the third needle... so fast that they were just afterimages, with only the needle tip trembling slightly.
A deathly silence enveloped the entire banquet hall, broken only by heavy, terrified breathing. Countless eyes were fixed on the few trembling silver needles and on the ashen face of the Zhao family head.
Then, she took out a small, exquisite medicine bottle, poured out a pill, and put it into Old Master Zhao's mouth, making him tilt his head back and swallow it.
Time ticked by second by second, agonizing every nerve in everyone present.
Suddenly, a terrifying gurgling sound came from the Zhao family head's throat!
Bai Yajing's eyes flashed, and she swiftly drew all her silver needles. The instant the last needle left her skin, the Zhao family head convulsed violently, spitting out a thick, black, foul-smelling mouthful of blood!
Almost at the same moment that black blood splattered onto the expensive carpet—
"Click! Click! Click!"
A crisp, clear sound of a bolt being pulled back and a gun being cocked rang out like popping beans! A chilling killing intent instantly gripped the entire scene.
The group of black-clad bodyguards from the Zhao family were well-trained and moved in unison. All the dark gun barrels were no longer aimless intimidation, but were precisely and firmly aimed at Bai Yajing, who had just performed acupuncture to save someone!
The old man suddenly stood up and blocked her way.
The other members of the Bai family secretly curled their lips when they saw this scene.
It's done!
They had already learned that the Zhao family head's health was deteriorating and he was on his deathbed.
If we bribe the servant to put something in his tea, then we can come out and testify against Bai Yajing.
In their rage, the Zhao family won't investigate at all; they'll just kill her to vent their anger!
Wealthy and powerful families don't need to give reasons, and no one will question them.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as they wished.
