Chapter 81 Wax Pills



"A young girl should love to dress up! Ruyi, you're so pretty, don't be like those petty girls. What's there to be embarrassed about wearing out?"

Aunt Zhou said, "A young lady's prime time for dressing up is just a few years. She's at the most beautiful age!"

She sighed.

"Yes, I'll listen to my aunt!"

Su Ruyi nodded repeatedly, "Auntie, I need to take this bundle wrapping too, you see..."

"It's yours!"

Aunt Zhou waved her hand dismissively, "These three wrapping cloths are all unevenly dyed and completely unusable. Taking them saves me space!"

The words of a wise person are so comforting.

Not only that, Aunt Zhou also brought a lot of strips of cloth to help her secure the bundle to the bicycle.

Su Ruyi took out Su Tong's clothes separately and put them in her handbag.

After thanking Aunt Zhou profusely, she put the three bundles into her spatial storage in a secluded alley and then headed straight for the food factory.

She greeted the gatekeeper, and was let in with her bicycle.

She found Su Tong's dormitory, but no one was there.

Su Tong had already obtained permission from his other roommate to give Su Ruyi a key.

Anyway, that roommate didn't live at the factory, and there were no valuables in the room.

Su Ruyi knocked on the door for a while, and someone came out from next door, saying that Su Tong had asked Su Xiangjun to take him to familiarize himself with the business in advance.

So she thanked them, took out her key, opened the door, and went inside.

The inside was neat and tidy, spotless.

She thought for a moment, then placed the clothes on a newspaper pad on her desk, left a note, and left.

Back in her room, she began another day of studying medical books, seeing ten patients, and giving acupuncture to the old man.

The old man's consultation fee was another wax pill.

The wax pellets that Su Ruyi put in yesterday will only be checked tomorrow to see if they have been refreshed.

So, she decided to eat the wax pill directly today.

A bit reckless.

But Zhong Su said that the space was there to help her, not to harm her.

Therefore, based on reasoning, this pill could not possibly be poison.

Thinking this, she opened the wax pill, and a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafted out.

Su Ruyi closed her eyes and smelled for a while, seemingly able to distinguish several familiar scents, but she couldn't be sure of any of them.

She opened her mouth and dropped the pill in.

The pill melted the moment it touched my tongue.

And it's sweet.

It's like eating a really fancy gummy candy.

After finishing her meal, Su Ruyi closed her eyes again and sensed the change, but it seemed that nothing had changed.

Besides, my mind seemed exceptionally clear, as if I had just woken up after a full eight-hour sleep.

"So, this is..." Su Ruyi's mind raced, and she rushed towards the study.

As expected!!!

She can open a book again!

So, this pill can reset time!

Let her study two books a day!

After finishing studying the medical book at hand, patients immediately and seamlessly began knocking on the door.

Su Ruyi unconsciously curled up the corners of her mouth, and began a new "Dr. Su time".

However, the side effects of these wax pills were also obvious—when she saw the fifteenth patient, Su Ruyi felt as if all her strength had been drained, and her eyelids began to droop.

"This isn't a pill for everyday use, or perhaps I haven't figured out its true purpose yet!" Su Ruyi tapped the heavenly drum, perking herself up to continue seeing the sixteenth patient.

...

Meanwhile, our little Su, the drama queen, has already taken another bath, eaten her fill, and is asleep on the bespectacled woman's bed.

What she didn't know was that as soon as Teacher Lin was arrested and locked up in the police station, she bit her finger, wrote a blood letter on her clothes, and then bit her wrist in an attempt to commit suicide to prove her innocence.

Teacher Lin had no choice—if she were to be tainted, the jobs of her daughter and son-in-law, who were thousands of miles away, and the future prospects of her grandchildren would all be affected.

However, she had no way to defend herself, and the only way for her to prove her innocence was through death.

Unfortunately, the female prisoner she shared a cell with was Guan Yumei.

"Oh my god! This person is so hungry they're eating themselves! They've gone mad! Help!"

Guan Yumei was so frightened by the crazy female prisoner that she screamed and attracted the attention of the police.

At that moment, she had no idea that her actions would plunge her beloved youngest daughter, Su Manao, into utter ruin.

The scene was so terrifying that she fainted after screaming.

Teacher Lin and Guan Yumei were both rushed to the hospital.

Teacher Lin was extremely cruel to herself; she bit her wrists so badly that they were mangled and she had lost a lot of blood.

Fortunately, the two police officers who took her to the hospital had the same blood type.

After reading her blood-written letter, both of them found it strange, so they both donated blood to her.

Coincidentally, around this time, a sister company came to promote its advanced experience, mainly the technology of fingerprint recognition.

This is a leading technology nationwide.

Police officers from a neighboring unit felt this case was very valuable for teaching, so they brought a large group of officers to Mr. Zhang's room to collect fingerprints.

While extracting the material, we also taught the techniques.

Then, they went to the woman with glasses' room, woke up Su Manao, and took her fingerprints.

Su Manao pretended to have just woken up, but she was actually already panicking.

Seven or eight policemen surrounded her and made her press her fingerprints on each finger in the mold.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she knew from the police's snippets of conversation that she and Teacher Zhang were both under suspicion.

As the police left, they reminded the woman with glasses to keep an eye on Su Manao, as she might come and take her away at any time.

As soon as the police left, the woman with glasses quickly came over to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Manao. This is just the police officers' investigative method. It's to determine who took Teacher Zhang's money."

"How can you be sure?" Su Manao feigned ignorance.

“Look at Agate,” the woman with glasses picked up one of Su Agate’s fingers, “Everyone has fingerprints on their fingers, right? When we touch anything, our fingers secrete trace amounts of oil and sweat, so they leave fingerprints on things.”

"..." Su Manao's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

The woman with glasses didn't notice anything amiss and continued, "So, if Teacher Lin stole Teacher Zhang's money, she would leave her fingerprints in the drawer and on Teacher Zhang's face cream box."

"I see!" Su Manao forced a smile. "Teacher, I'm going to the restroom first. Can you explain it to me in detail when I come back?"

"Sure, do you want your teacher to go with you?"

"No need, no need!"

As Su Manao spoke, she went out the door, pretending to walk towards the toilet.

After walking a few steps, she turned around and went straight downstairs.

Then, trying to remain calm, I walked out of the campus and all the way to the woods on the outskirts of the city.

She's running away!

After finding the big tree she had marked, Su Manao took off her shoes and climbed up without hesitation.

Seeing that the handkerchief bundle was still intact and tucked into the crevice of the tree, she breathed a sigh of relief and reached in to retrieve it.
