"Ari!"
"elder sister!"
With Jiang Li's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, most of the disciples went to the warehouse. As for the disciples guarding around the study, they were quickly cleared out by Gu Qingchen.
I kicked open the study door, but——
There was no one inside.
"here!"
Yi Yao gently pushed the bookshelf on the right, and at the same moment, she saw the wall moving as well.
If it weren't for her sister's note, she wouldn't have known that there was a secret room hidden in the study.
"There's an old saying in Daning: 'He who knows the times is a hero.' Now, bring out the antidote and let us go. Otherwise, you'll regret it."
Before entering the secret room, Gu Qingchen heard a man's voice.
Without time to think, he hurriedly quickened his pace and ran inside.
In the secret room——
Jiang Zhong was being escorted by three men in strange clothes. The leader held a knife close to Jiang Zhong's neck, not daring to relax even a little.
They had originally planned to cooperate with the old man named Yi to capture the miracle doctor and use him for their own purposes, but they never expected that they would fall into the trap of the woman in front of them!
Fortunately, Mr. Yi had made preparations in advance and placed a hostage here.
"There's an old saying in Daning: 'He who knows the current situation is a hero.' Bring out the antidote and let us go, or you'll regret it."
Jiang Li chuckled, "Okay, you release him first. If you release him, I will let you go."
After saying that, Jiang Li pointed at Yi Hongyi, who was lying unconscious beside him. "I think you should know better than me how powerful his current skills are. He has become like this after being poisoned by me. Do you think you can still survive if you don't do what I say?"
"Brother, don't believe her. We didn't eat anything, how could we be poisoned? If it were you, I'd rush over and kill her!"
"Kill me?"
Jiang Li laughed heartily, "If you kill me, you will really die. If you don't believe me, press here, then press here again, and finally, press here again."
Jiang Li pointed to three acupuncture points on his body and raised his eyes to signal the other party.
"Ah—" The man who proposed to kill Jiang Li did it only once, and instantly he howled, and fell to the ground as if paralyzed.
"What did you do!" The man pointed the knife at Jiang Li, "Give me the antidote! Otherwise, I will kill him right now!"
"Don't be afraid, sister. I'll still be a brave man in twenty years!"
As he spoke, Jiang Zhong finally broke the ropes that tied his hands, then he grabbed the man who was holding him and bent his wrists backwards, and a tragic howl was heard.
Gu Qingchen, who was standing behind the door of the secret room, came out when he saw this, pulled Jiang Li into his arms, and then kicked the man who was rushing towards him with a knife away.
Yi Yao took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, directly removing the limbs of the man on the ground. When everyone came to their senses, they saw that the leader was being stepped on by Yi Yao in a strange posture.
"call--"
Jiang Li stood up from Gu Qingchen's arms, exhaled, brushed her messy long hair behind her, picked up the knife on the ground and pointed it at the leading man.
The people on the ground looked at each other in horror.
how so?
"Confess and receive leniency; resist and receive severity. Tell me, who is behind you?"
The man was panicking, but he still insisted: "I advise you to let us go immediately, otherwise, you will be in big trouble!"
Hearing this, the corners of the woman's mouth turned up slightly, as if she had heard a joke. "Da Ning can't even speak properly, and yet you dare to threaten people on our territory? I'll give you one last chance. Will you speak or not?"
Before the man could even open his mouth, Jiang Li pointed the tip of the knife at the center of the back of his hand, and then stabbed it hard from top to bottom.
"ah!"
The man was so frightened that he became incontinent.
But it was not as painful as he had imagined. When he opened his eyes again, the tip of the knife was less than half an inch above the back of his hand.
Jiang Li tilted her head and smiled, "Hehe, are you scared already? Let me tell you, Daning's punishment is more interesting than this. If you want to try it all, I suggest you grit your teeth and never, ever tell anyone who's behind this."
The ghostly words fell into the ears of several people. At that moment, the loyalty of the three people began to collapse.

Linshan Pavilion.
"Sister, my father..."
With Gu Qingchen and Jiang Zhong taking care of the rest of the matters, Jiang Li was not worried at all and immediately focused on treating the people in the First Village.
After hearing Jiang Li say that those fellow disciples could still be saved, Yi Yao began to feel troubled.
Because she really didn't know how to face her father.
"Ayao."
After collecting the needles, Jiang Li pointed at the disciples of the First Village who had not yet woken up.
"They can be saved because they haven't had their blood quenched many times, but they'll need several months of nursing to fully recover. But your father..."
Jiang Li wanted to be more tactful, but still sighed, "The blood-quenching poison your father was infected with was too deep. I can only restore his sanity, but the price is that his body will be completely depleted. I'm afraid he won't live more than three to five years."
Seeing Yi Yao's red eyes, Jiang Li knew the pain in her heart.
"Don't think too much about it. Your father will wake up completely later. You can talk to him first."
This is Yi Yao's own family matter. Even if Jiang Li wants to help, he can only do so much.
That night.
As Yi Yao walked to the door of the study, she heard coughing from inside.
Through the candlelight, a figure could be seen sitting behind the desk.
Yi Yao stood outside the door and couldn't move even a step.
In the end, Yi Yao sighed, wiped away the tears that seemed to never dry, and turned away.
She thought to herself, wait a little longer, until her fellow disciples are all better, maybe then she will have the courage to face her father, and have the courage to face the facts of the past with her father.
It’s a pity——
The next morning.
When Jiang Li took breakfast to find Yi Hongyi, she found that the door of the study was ajar.
"Alliance Master Yi, after dinner, we need a few more injections today..."
Jiang Li pushed the door open and walked in. Before she could finish her words, she saw a figure hanging on the beam.
It’s Yi Hongyi.
"father!"
Upon hearing the news, Yi Yao fainted.
When she regained consciousness, Jiang Zhong supported her and she used her last bit of strength to walk to the study.
If Jiang Li hadn't fed her the tranquilizing pill in time, Yi Yao would have almost fainted again.
"This is what your father left for you. Take a look at it first."
Jiang Li handed the letter from the book to Yi Yao. There were only three big words on it: "Yao'er."
"Daddy's little Yao'er, don't cry."
After opening the letter and reading the first sentence, Yi Yao couldn't stop crying.
It’s her father, her father is back.
"Yao'er, Daddy has remembered everything."
"So, Daddy is going to apologize to your sister. I have to comfort her properly this time and also apologize to your mother. I'm really worried that I won't have enough time, so I'm leaving now. Please forgive Daddy's cowardice. Daddy is really ashamed to face you, so I can only tell you the truth in this way."
