"Zaozao!" Qiao Wanwan exclaimed, quickly crouching down to help her up. "What's wrong? Don't scare me!"
The driver immediately came to help, "Madam, what's wrong with Miss Zaozao?"
"Get the person inside first!"
"yes!"
The driver quickly picked Cheng Zaozao up and carried her back to her room.
Qiao Wanwan sat down to take Cheng Zaozao's pulse, her brows gradually furrowing. "Tell Zheng Ma to go to my room and get some silver needles."
"yes."
Upon receiving the message, Zheng Ma immediately brought out the silver needles. "Madam, the silver needles."
Qiao Wanwan took out a silver needle, took Cheng Zaozao's hand, pricked her fingertip and observed for a while, then her expression suddenly changed, "Go and invite my master over immediately!"
"yes!"
The legendary healer rushed over, "Wanwan, I heard you fainted early? What happened?"
"Master, it seems like he's been poisoned; his pulse is getting weaker and weaker."
The legendary doctor took Cheng Zaozao's pulse, his expression grave. "Move her to the pharmacy; I need to draw blood for a test."
"good."
Cheng Zaozao was carried to the pharmacy, and Qiao Wanwan asked the "ghost hand doctor" to draw an extra amount of blood to be sent to the hospital for testing.
"Madam!" Aunt Zheng rushed in, her face pale. "Something terrible has happened! Your mother...she has fainted too!"
Qiao Wanwan was shocked and rushed to Su Jing's room, where she found her unconscious on the floor!
Qiao Wanwan stepped forward to take his pulse. "It's similar to Zaozao's condition. Aunt Zheng, call my brother over!"
Huo Shiqian rushed over quickly, "What happened to Mom!"
“She’s been poisoned just like Zaozao,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Brother, take Mom to the pharmacy so my master can treat her.”
"good!"
Following Qiao Wanwan's instructions, Huo Shiqian carried Su Jing to the pharmacy and had her blood drawn for testing.
A moment later, the Ghostly Doctor put down the vessel in his hand. "Wanwan, the two of them are poisoned by the same poison."
"How could they suddenly get poisoned?" Huo Shiqian asked. "Did they eat or drink anything together?"
"After dinner, Mrs. Huo and Miss Zaozao didn't spend any time together," Zheng Ma recalled. "As soon as Mrs. Huo finished eating, she went back to her room to make baby clothes for the baby in her mother's belly."
"So they got food poisoning at dinner?" Huo Shiqian said. "We clearly ate together, how could only the two of them be poisoned?"
"After coming back early, I only ate dinner." Qiao Wanwan remembered something. "Aunt Zheng, go and pull up the surveillance footage from the restaurant."
"yes!"
Previously, there were no surveillance cameras in the public areas of Wutong Bay, but since Lin Feng started his dirty work, surveillance cameras have been installed in many places, including restaurants, for safety reasons.
The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved, and Qiao Wanwan and Huo Shiqian went to the living room to check it.
The video shows their whole family sitting together eating.
"Aunt Zheng, bring me paper and pen," Huo Shiqian said. "Wanwan, let's each write down what Mom and Zaozao ate, and then compare and eliminate them."
"good."
Soon, the two of them compared the food they had written down.
“These are the things that Mom and Zaozao have both eaten.”
"Then find the food that only the two of them ate, and that no one else ate."
Qiao Wanwan looked closely and exclaimed, "It's this one!"
"Roast Duck?"
"Yes, I ate all the dishes that Mom ate, except for Peking duck!"
"Let's watch the video again to confirm."
"good."
The two watched the video on fast forward and confirmed that only Cheng Zaozao and Su Jing had eaten roast duck.
Qiao Wanwan hurriedly instructed Zheng Ma, "Go to the kitchen and ask if the rest of the roast duck is still there."
"Yes, madam."
After leaving for a while, Zheng Ma quickly returned to report, "Madam, the maid is quick and efficient, and has already cleaned up. The leftovers were all disposed of using the garbage disposal; nothing was left."
"You still have the box and bag that held the roast duck, right?"
"I've already asked people to look for it."
The roast duck was packed in a disposable box, which the maid found in the trash and took to the legendary doctor for examination.
Huo Shiqian poured Qiao Wanwan a glass of warm water. "Wanwan, drink some water and calm down."
"No, I have to go and help my master with the research."
"The old man said he can manage on his own. You're pregnant, so your health is the most important thing."
"But I'm still worried."
Huo Shiqian said seriously, "If you can't even trust the old man, then who can you trust?"
Qiao Wanwan had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, I'll wait here."
Upon hearing the news, Zhan Jingting came downstairs. "What happened?"
Huo Shiqian explained, "Mom and Zaozao were both poisoned. Wanwan and I checked the surveillance footage from when we ate the meal and suspect that the roast duck was the problem."
Zhan Jingting's eyes turned cold. "Are you sure it's roast duck?"
"It's almost certain that the old man is examining the box containing the roast duck."
Zhan Jingting sat down next to Qiao Wanwan and said coldly, "If I remember correctly, the roast duck was bought a long time ago."
Qiao Wanwan seemed to understand what he meant and immediately said, "It couldn't be that they poisoned her beforehand, otherwise she wouldn't have eaten it, right?"
“I didn’t say it was her.” Zhan Jingting turned to look at her. “All I know is that this roast duck was originally bought for you.”
Qiao Wanwan quickly recalled, "Yes, you specially bought it for me to eat, but you stopped me... Jingting, did you already know there was something wrong with the roast duck?"
“Wanwan, you’re being too hasty,” Huo Shiqian said immediately. “If Jingting had known earlier, would he have put it on the dining table and just watched Mom and Zaozao eat it?”
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes in annoyance. "Yes, I was out of my mind. If you had known earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this..."
