Just as the group was chatting, there was a sudden commotion in the room.
"Qiqi!"
He Qingfeng suddenly rushed out of the room, "Grandpa's awake!"
Qi Jiu glanced at her watch, nodded, and walked directly into the house. Sure enough, Old Master He had already opened his eyes.
Although he still looked very weak, he was in better condition than when his eyes were still closed.
The young woman strode forward and grabbed the old man's wrist. As she twisted his wrist, she saw the current state of his wrist. The black line on his wrist had disappeared.
The poison has been neutralized.
"Grandpa He, how are you feeling? You don't need to say anything. If you feel good, just nod. If you're still not feeling well, then don't do anything."
Grandpa He looked at her and nodded.
Seeing this, the people in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around Old Master He.
"That's about enough. Now you just need to rest well." Qi Jiu glanced at He Qingfeng beside her and stretched her neck.
"Junior, thank you."
For He Qingfeng, the weight on his heart can finally be lifted.
"It's alright, I already said, given our current relationship, you don't need to thank me." As she spoke, she glanced at Old Master He on the bed.
"But if we want this to happen again, we need to find the culprit. Staying passive like this is not a good solution."
By the time Qi Jiu returned to the villa area, it was already late. She looked at her brightly lit villa and raised an eyebrow.
I just gave that guy the keys to my villa, and he's already here.
"Miss Qi, let me park the car for you."
Liu Yun appeared out of nowhere and grinned as he looked at Qi Jiu, who hadn't even gotten out of the car yet.
Seeing this, how could Qi Jiu disagree? Someone had taken the initiative to park the car, saving her the trouble.
As soon as I pushed open the villa's door, a strong aroma of hot pot wafted out.
Looking up, I saw Chongyu, who had been missing for a long time, diligently washing vegetables and bustling around. As for Qi Silin... he was already prepared next to the hot pot.
It looked like they were just waiting for her to come back.
Meat and vegetables were already prepared on the table, and red wine was an essential item.
Chongyu, who was washing vegetables with a wronged expression, lit up the moment he saw Qijiu. He wiped the water off his hands, rubbed the curly hair on his head, and came to greet her.
He looked as if he had found a powerful backer.
"Qiqi, you're back!"
Seeing this, the girl suddenly felt that keeping a dog at home might not be a bad idea, making the villa less empty. At least when she came home, there would be a living creature to greet her.
"Yes, I'm back."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and stroked Chongyu's curly fur.
Chongyu: "??" This technique is so familiar, it seems like I've seen it somewhere before...
Dog: Woof?
When Chongyu turned around again, she saw that Qi Silin and Qi Jiu were already embracing. Qi Silin had shed his previous serious expression and was now holding Qi Jiu with a tender look on his face.
Chong Yu: "..." Wait, didn't anyone notice him? He finally came back from a mission, and all he got was a dose of dog food?
"Um, isn't our main activity going to be eating?" Chongyu looked at the two of them and smiled awkwardly.
The implication is that these intimate actions could be saved for after dinner.
Unexpectedly, Qi Silin looked up at him, then suddenly smiled. "Why isn't dog food considered a meal?"
Chongyu: "!!" Damn it!
I'm flipping the table! Can't we even live like this anymore?!
Finally, the three of them sat around the hot pot. Chongyu looked at the still-cooked food in the pot and pursed his lips. "Qiqi, I heard you had an accident when you joined the crew? Are you okay? I was too busy before and didn't have time to ask you."
"Of course nothing's wrong, the culprit is already in jail."
The girl picked up a purple sweet potato ball and put it into the pot, watching it tumble in the hot pot, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She's been on set for the past few months and hasn't had time to eat hot pot.
Indeed, hot pot is the most delicious food in the world.
Chongyu nodded, then suddenly laughed as if she had thought of something. "I thought you would do what you did before, and throw Tang Miaomiao's head to the ground."
Qi Jiu: "..." It's been so long, and you still remember? Are you out of your mind?
"I would like to, but with so many people watching, and Tang Miaomiao being a public figure, it wouldn't do me any good if I did it."
Tang Miaomiao's intentions were never right to begin with, and given that this is China and she is a public figure, even if this matter can be suppressed, there may still be a lot of trouble in the process.
Furthermore, public figures are already influenced by public opinion, so if she says something she shouldn't, she'll be in big trouble.
Let's just forget about it. It almost cost her her life, and the time she spent in jail ruined her future. That's enough.
It was already past midnight when they finished eating hot pot. It wasn't that the three of them ate a lot, but they kept talking, which made the time go by.
After seeing Chongyu off, Qijiu looked at the man bustling around the dining table and smiled.
I went over and helped him roll up the sleeves of his black shirt, giving his strong forearm a quick pat before settling into the sofa to enjoy my dessert.
Qi Silin looked at his forearm that had just been touched, then glanced at the person on the sofa, a smile playing on his lips, and continued tidying up the things on the table.
After a long while, when the girl noticed that the sofa next to her had dented, she finally turned her gaze away from her phone.
"All done cleaning up? Stay-at-home dad?"
The man was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. "I'm done cleaning. By the time you finished, everything would probably be stuck to the pan."
Qi Jiu: "..." Is she really that lazy?
Actually... everything's alright...
"I heard you went to the He family's house today?"
The young woman nodded. "Old Master He has been poisoned. It's likely related to the person who poisoned him last time, but..."
As she spoke, a look of confusion crossed her face.
"If it's really as you and I suspect, that they want to destroy the foundation of Chinese medicine, then why are they targeting the He family? There are clearly other pharmacists out there."
The He family is just one family of pharmacists in China, not the only one in the entire country. They've already failed in their previous missions with the He family, so why are they trying to get involved again?
Qi Silin pursed his lips, not in a hurry to speak, "Perhaps, their initial goal was not to destroy the foundation of Chinese medicine?"
Upon hearing this, the girl pursed her lips.
“But my senior said that the He family has not offended anyone…” Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly shut her mouth.
