Jiang Dong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madam, I'm alright."
"Do you think I wouldn't be able to tell if something's wrong?" Qiao Wanwan said. "You just came out of Jingting's study, didn't you? Something must have happened, otherwise you wouldn't be so out of sorts."
"Madam, really, everything's alright..."
Qiao Wanwan seemed to realize something and said, "If it's something you can't tell me, I won't ask any more questions. You can leave now."
"Thank you, Madam."
......
That evening, there was a sudden knock on the pharmacy door.
The Ghost Hand Doctor went to open the door and saw Zhan Jingting. "Jingting, it's you."
"Grandpa, did I disturb your meditation?" Zhan Jingting asked.
"It's over, come in quickly." The Ghost Hand Doctor said with a smile, "Meditation is also a way to maintain health, especially for people like us. We need to clear our minds often so that we can make new breakthroughs in medical skills. You usually spend this time taking a walk with Wanwan, why did you suddenly come to see me?"
"I came to find you while Wanwan was away." Zhan Jingting took out a small bottle from his pocket. "Could you help me see what's inside this?"
The Ghost Hand Doctor took out the liquid from inside, sat down and studied it for a while, and quickly came to a conclusion: "This is a highly poisonous substance. If you take even a drop, let alone a human, even an elephant will die on the spot, and there will be no way to save it."
Zhan Jingting's face darkened. "It really is poison!"
"Moreover, this is highly poisonous. It's likely a mixture of multiple poisons, doubling its potency and speeding up the onset. If ingested, there won't be enough time for an antidote." The Ghost Hand Doctor asked, "Jing Ting, where did this come from? Could someone be trying to poison you with this?"
Zhan Jingting composed himself and said, "I wouldn't be so careless as to be easily poisoned. But Grandpa, please pretend you don't know about this and don't let Wanwan know, so she won't worry."
"It seems my guess was right." The Ghost Hand Doctor didn't ask any further questions. "Then you must be extra careful."
"I know what I'm doing."
......
The next day at noon, after Qiao Wanwan had finished lunch, she was about to go see Zhan Yin when Jiang Dong suddenly rushed over and knelt down before her, crying, "Madam, save me!"
"What's wrong?" Qiao Wanwan helped him up. "Talk to me properly, don't act like this."
Jiang Dong stood up. "Madam, I'm sorry, I really had no other choice but to come to you."
Qiao Wanwan said, "Let's talk in my study."
The two entered the study. Qiao Wanwan closed the door and poured him a glass of water. "What is it? Tell me slowly."
"Madam, Master Zhan is going to kill Jiang Nan!"
"What?" Qiao Wanwan was shocked. "Jing Ting wouldn't attack his own people for no reason. What exactly happened?"
"I don't know," Jiang Dong said, almost in tears. "Everyone was happy that Jiang Nan came back from the brink of death, but Master Zhan has always been cold towards him. Jiang Nan originally lived in Wutong Bay, but Master Zhan actually made him move out..."
"Really?" Qiao Wanwan was even more shocked. "But Jingting told me that Jiangnan has always lived outside."
"No, Jiangnan is secretly protecting Master Zhan. He can only rest when Master Zhan is at home, so he has always lived in Wutong Bay. Otherwise, it would definitely be inconvenient."
Qiao Wanwan composed herself and said, "Continue."
“Jiang Nan said he was going to live elsewhere, but Master Zhan arranged for him to stay in the place where the prisoners were previously held, and assigned people to take care of him. Although it was called taking care of him, it was actually more like guarding him,” Jiang Dong said. “I went to ask Master Zhan about it yesterday, but he wouldn’t let me ask. What I didn’t expect was that Master Zhan ordered him to be killed today!”
"You seemed so lost yesterday, so that's what you were asking about."
“Yes,” Jiang Dong continued, “Madam, Jiang Nan and I grew up together, and we even share the same name. We are closer than brothers. I know that Master Zhan would not attack him without reason, let alone kill him. He must have committed some unforgivable mistake. But I still want to plead for him, at least let us know what he did wrong.”
Qiao Wanwan asked, "You must have asked Jing Ting, but he wouldn't tell you why?"
"Yes, Master Zhan only said that I couldn't get involved in this matter and then told me to leave. Madam, I had no other choice but to come and beg you. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to bother you, because Master Zhan would definitely be angry if he found out."
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "You risked being scolded to come to me, which shows how important this matter is to you. Don't worry, I'll go and find out right away."
"Thank you, Madam!"
Since it involved lives, Qiao Wanwan didn't dare to delay and immediately went to the Dijing Group.
In the CEO's office, Zhan Jingting saw Qiao Wanwan and was quite surprised. "You should be taking a nap at home at this time. Why are you here?"
Qiao Wanwan didn't beat around the bush, "Jiang Dong came to my house and said you were going to kill Jiang Nan. What's going on?"
Zhan Jingting's expression turned slightly cold. "He's getting bolder and bolder; he actually dared to come looking for you."
"Don't be angry. Jiang Nan came back early and did me a favor. I should be concerned about his affairs." Qiao Wanwan sat down at her desk. "Jing Ting, I know you wouldn't be so ruthless to your own people without a reason. What exactly happened?"
Zhan Jingting leaned back in his executive chair and said coldly, "I was very surprised the day he came back. With his abilities, he could have come back long ago. Why did he only come back now and manage to save Zaozao?"
"The mastermind behind this has suffered so many losses at our hands that he has reached the point of wanting to escape and hide to recuperate. Logically speaking, we should either kill him to vent our anger or keep him under strict guard. There is no way we can give him a chance to escape."
