"No need. Just a little blood is needed as a medicinal guide to add to the medicine. I'm already preparing to give Jingting the medicine. After that, I'll observe his physical condition. If he doesn't relapse and remains healthy until he's thirty, then I'll give Xiao Jiu and Lao San the medicine."
"You're absolutely right. The child is still young, so it's better to be cautious." The Ghost Hand Doctor was overjoyed. "Wanwan, congratulations! All your hard work over the years has paid off, and you're even more skilled than your master."
"Without my master's constant encouragement and support, how could I have achieved what I have today?" Qiao Wanwan said, tears welling in her eyes. "Thank you, Master."
Since taking the medication, Qiao Wanwan has been extremely worried about Zhan Jingting's health. She would even wake up immediately if he turned over in bed at night and ask, "Jingting, what's wrong with you!"
Zhan Jingting turned on the light and hugged her. "Wanwan, I'm fine. I already told you, I would tell you if I wasn't feeling well."
Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."
"Wanwan, you're too nervous." Zhan Jingting kissed her forehead. "Trust yourself, and trust me, okay?"
"It's precisely because you trust me so much that I'm so nervous. If anything happens to you, it's no joke."
“You’re the only doctor in the world who can cure me, so there’s nothing to be nervous about,” Zhan Jingting suggested. “I’ll take you out for a walk this weekend to relax.”
"No need. The mastermind hasn't appeared yet, and you're taking medication and need to rest, so it's best not to go out unnecessarily," Qiao Wanwan said softly. "Once you're cured and we catch the mastermind, we can go wherever we want."
"Alright then." Zhan Jingting smiled. "Go to sleep."
"good."
After half a month of treatment, Zhan Jingting's body showed no abnormalities, and Qiao Wanwan's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
When He Songling called, Qiao Wanwan remembered Xu Lai's matter.
She answered the phone, "How is it? Have you found him?"
"No," came He Songling's weary voice. "We haven't found Xu Lai, nor have we found him. Your men have been watching me the whole time; there's no way he could have shown up."
Since Qiao Wanwan didn't assign anyone to keep an eye on He Songling, that left Zhan Jingting.
"Following you gives us a chance to find the mastermind behind it all, so it's not surprising that they've sent someone to keep an eye on you."
He Songling's voice was clearly laced with anger, "But with you all staring at him like this, I can't find him at all!"
"He Songling, it seems I have indeed been too polite to you," Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "What right do you have to roar at me like this? If you don't want my people watching you, then find a way to shake them off yourself. What's the point of yelling at me like this?"
"Qiao Wanwan, Xu Lai is innocent!"
"I've told you before, my sister is innocent, and my two children who were kidnapped by you were innocent too! What right do you have to talk to me about the word 'innocence'..."
He Songling had no choice but to compromise, "I'm begging you, let me find him first, and once I rescue Xu Lai, everything will be fine."
Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "I advise you to know your place before you speak."
After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Jingting walked into the master bedroom. "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
“He Songling is getting anxious because he can’t find Xu Lai and wants us to withdraw the people tracking him.” Qiao Wanwan was a little worried. “Jingting, will our people be in danger if they follow him? After all, he is trying his best to get rid of our tracking, so he will naturally not show any mercy to our people.”
"Don't worry, those who stick with him to the death are all skilled and capable of protecting themselves." Zhan Jingting smiled. "Besides, even you know that He Songling won't hold back. He must have already fought with our people, but failed. Otherwise, do you think someone like him would easily call and bow down to a woman?"
Qiao Wanwan's lips twitched. "What's wrong with women? Can't men bow down to women?"
Zhan Jingting chuckled softly, "Of course, Madam Zhan is no ordinary woman. What I mean is, He Songling's inherent male chauvinism still makes it impossible for him to compromise with you."
"So it's not that he doesn't want to kill our people, it's that he can't, right?"
"yes."
"No matter what, tell our people to be careful. It doesn't matter if they lose track of someone, but they absolutely cannot get hurt."
"Okay, I will pass it on."
......
Zhan Jingting's condition had stabilized, and Su Jing busied herself burning incense to thank the gods.
Qiao Wanwan was worried and went with her.
Perhaps because it was the first day of the lunar month, there were an unusually large number of people in the temple. If you weren't careful, even the bodyguards could be separated from the crowd.
Qiao Wanwan put on a mask and told Su Jing, "Mom, there are a lot of people today, please finish as soon as possible, I'm worried about your safety."
"I forgot to tell you that today is the first day of the lunar month. If I had known, you wouldn't have come along."
"I'd feel more at ease if I came along, but I just don't want anything to happen."
"Okay, Mom, hurry up, there are even more people inside. You can wait here."
"Um."
Qiao Wanwan and her bodyguard walked to a less crowded spot and chatted while waiting for Su Jing.
"How is Jiangnan doing these past few days?"
"Replying to Madam, Jiangnan is recovering very well, and the doctor said she can be discharged in a few days."
“That’s fine. It’s definitely safer at home, and my master can visit him anytime.”
"On behalf of Jiangnan, I thank you, Madam."
Qiao Wanwan smiled, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly seemed to see something and abruptly turned her head away!
The next second, her eyes widened, and she stared blankly in the direction of the crowd!
"Madam, what's wrong?" The bodyguard noticed her unusual behavior and asked hurriedly.
Qiao Wanwan didn't answer him and strode into the crowd!
She pushed through the crowd and came to the spot she had just been looking at, searching for something.
"Madam, what's wrong? What are you looking for? We'll help you look."
Qiao Wanwan still didn't answer, then suddenly remembered something and immediately ran towards the main hall!
Su Jing was nowhere to be seen in the main hall!
Qiao Wanwan's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly took out her phone and dialed Su Jing's number while looking around!
The call connected, and the familiar ringtone sounded. At the same time, Su Jing's voice came from behind, "Wanwan, I'm here."
"Mom!" Qiao Wanwan rushed forward and grabbed her arm. "Are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine. I just went to see the abbot." Su Jing noticed something was wrong with her. "Why is your face so pale? What happened?"
"It's nothing." Qiao Wanwan composed herself and said, "I couldn't find you for a moment and didn't know where you went, so I was a little worried."
"Silly child, where can Mommy go?" Su Jing took her hand. "Let's go home."
"Um."
On the way back to Wutong Bay, Qiao Wanwan kept her eyes closed the entire time.
Su Jing knew she wasn't asleep, but she didn't disturb her.
Qiao Wanwan was indeed not asleep; she was trying hard to recall the scene from just now.
Logically speaking, she couldn't possibly be wrong...
