"Miaomiao, how is your father?" Gu Qingshan walked forward, leaning on his cane.
"It's alright. I've forced the poison out of his body. Fortunately, he didn't eat much, but his vital energy was greatly depleted this time, and he needs to rest for a month." Shi Miao wiped the sweat from his forehead, removed the silver needles, disinfected them, and slowly put them back into the box.
They then forcibly pried open his mouth, stuffed a small pill deep into his throat, and poured some water down his throat, letting the pill slide down with the water.
"Are you really alright? Then why hasn't your dad woken up yet? And what did you feed him?" Yun Rujin clearly didn't believe her and muttered under her breath.
"I think you have time to bark endlessly here. You should spend more time caring about your missing daughter," Shi Miao said lazily, her eyes gleaming.
"What are you saying!" Yun Rujin was so angry that her face turned green after being rebuked by Shi Miao, but she also noticed something was wrong from her words. She looked around but couldn't see Gu Yanxin anywhere.
"Where's the patient?" Just then, medical staff rushed in carrying a stretcher.
"Here! Doctor, please check if my husband is still alive!" Yun Rujin said, pointing at Gu Yunbai.
The lead doctor stepped forward and was startled to see Gu Yunbai covered in blood. He quickly took out a stethoscope and placed it on Gu Yunbai's heart. After hearing a strong heartbeat, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Quickly, put him on the stretcher."
Yun Rujin then got into the ambulance with them and went to the hospital.
......
"Did he drink anything when he came?" Shi Miao looked at the cup of tea on the table, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Your dad came over, sat down in your seat, took a sip of tea, and fainted less than a minute later," Gu Qingshan recalled in a deep voice.
Shi Miao clicked his tongue, took a silver needle and inserted it into the cup of tea; the needle instantly turned black.
She wondered why the mother and daughter were acting so strangely tonight; it turned out they were waiting for her here.
“This…” Gu Qingshan looked at the blackened silver needle in Shi Miao’s hand with a shocked expression.
"Hmm, she's really good at courting death." Shi Miao's thin lips curled up, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
Only then did Gu Qingshan notice that someone seemed to be missing. "Where's Gu Yanxin?"
"You ran away because you felt guilty, didn't you?" Shi Miao said casually, arms crossed.
The old man, recalling Gu Yanxin's unusual behavior earlier and everything that had happened today, finally realized what was going on. "Gu Yanxin originally wanted to harm you, but your father drank it instead!"
"Yes, Grandpa, you don't need to worry about this. Leave it to me."
"Sigh, alright." Gu Qingshan rubbed his throbbing temples wearily and sighed.
I never expected Gu Yanxin to be so vicious. I've wasted more than ten years raising her.
...
After leaving Gu Qingshan's place, Shi Miao made a phone call to Ji Yanchen.
"What's wrong? When are you coming back? Do you want me to pick you up?" A cool, languid voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Something's happened, I need a favor. Help me catch Gu Yanxin, I just checked her phone location, she's heading towards the airport."
"Okay. Where are you now?" Ji Yanchen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked.
"I just came from my grandfather's house."
"I'll come pick you up. Go back and wait for me." He hung up before Shi Miao could refuse.
Seeing this, Shi Miao had no choice but to turn back.
"Miaomiao, why are you back again?" Gu Qingshan asked in surprise.
"Ah, Ji Yanchen is coming to pick me up." Shi Miao touched her nose.
"Okay, then you sit with Grandpa and have a chat."

After Gu Yanxin secretly ran out, she quickly took out her phone and called Qin Chu.
"What should I do? I messed up. My dad drank it, and you clearly said it wouldn't take effect for half an hour. You lied to me?"
"Tsk, maybe it's just a matter of individual constitution. Go to the airport now, someone will pick you up there."
"Can I still trust you?" Gu Yanxin said in a trembling voice.
"Besides me, who else do you think can help you?" Qin Chu said calmly.
"Okay! I'll go right now." Gu Yanxin said loudly, afraid that Qin Chu would change his mind.
After hanging up the phone, she hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed towards the airport.
......
Qin Chu rubbed the phone in his hand, his cold eyes narrowing slightly.
Gu Yanxin has made a mistake. Tsk, what an idiot, so useless.
Qin Chu reopened his phone, dialed one of the numbers, and said coldly, "Clean it up."
"yes."
