Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Drug Him
After seeing the bag of medicine powder, Li Yanling naturally also felt some confusion, completely unclear about what exactly this substance was.
She picked it up and observed it carefully, noticing that the powder was indeed very finely ground.
Then she tried dissolving a little in a cup of boiled water.
She discovered that the substance really was colorless and tasteless.
Because of this, her concerns only grew, as she still had no idea what it actually was.
She picked up the medicine powder and asked Liu Zheng in front of her.
"What exactly is this?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng immediately replied.
"Taking this medicine might cause him discomfort for several days, he might even get a fever, but other fever medicines won’t work. But rest assured, it’s not a serious fever, and it will also cause him to experience back pain, waist soreness, and various other symptoms."
After Liu Zheng said this, Li Yanling was so scared that she dropped the bag of powder she was holding onto the ground, never having imagined that it could be such a substance.
Isn’t this just poison?
How could she possibly give her child such a thing to eat, what inconceivable things might happen after it’s consumed?
"What do you mean? Why give this to my child to eat? Since it causes so many horrifying symptoms, what should we do if something happens?"
Seeing her fear, Liu Zheng picked up the bag of medicine powder from the ground and placed it in her hands.
"Don’t worry, after he feels unwell for several days, you can call me over, and then treating him will not be a problem."
But Li Yanling still looked very conflicted. She thought this was really too frightening—what if something really happened? And it was truly torturous.
She even wondered why Liu Zheng had made such a decision; the plan sounded terrifying.
"But... but..."
She could barely eke out a few words, but did not know how to express the rest.
Faced with this problem, she felt rather helpless.
"But after doing this, will it really cause him to change? I don’t think it’s that simple, and he might become even more unusual after going through all this."
She kept shaking her head.
Facing such an issue, she felt very wary and thought that it was better to consider it carefully.
But Liu Zheng was holding her hand.
"If I hadn’t seen Kai’s attitude towards you before, I might not have thought of this method, but now things have gotten more serious. The old lady keeps saying bad things about you in front of Kai, and it’s not possible to change all that with ordinary methods."
"Just think, if Kai really looks sick, and even has vomiting and diarrhea, and then we find a few people to say that his disease might be incurable, would the old lady really care about him then?"
After hearing this, she finally understood.
Indeed, the thing the old lady loved most was money. If it was said to be a terminal illness incurable by any means, no matter what, she wouldn’t spend another penny on the child.
But what if it really harmed the child’s body?
She was indeed very worried about this point.
So, at that moment, she made sure to ask again.
"But is this substance really harmless to the child’s body? It won’t leave any side effects, will it?"
"Rest assured, I specifically developed this medicine. The symptoms are due to worms in his body; I’m just helping him deworm," Liu Zheng said.
"It’s just a little severe, to get rid of some impurities in his body. It might look scary, but it’s actually a good medicine."
Liu Zheng explained quite clearly.
He had already developed this medicine a while ago, just uncertain how to use it. Now he saw that there was an opportunity, and he was definitely going to cherish it.
Perhaps it was arranged by fate.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so coincidental.
But Li Yanling still hesitated.
She didn’t know whether Liu Zheng was deceiving her or not.
And she feared that Liu Zheng, in an effort to help her deal with this issue, deliberately said these things.
So at that moment, she tentatively asked.
"Is what you’re saying true? Is it really as you described?"
Seeing her somewhat disbelief, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but smile and then nod as he said.
"Of course, it’s true. Why would I deceive you? This medicine is something I specifically developed recently."
"Don’t worry, it will not affect the child’s body in any way. On the contrary, it will clear out all the impurities in his stomach."
"If you don’t believe me, I can drink it right now and let you experience it."
As Liu Zheng vowed with certainty, Li Yanling finally came to trust him.
Upon reflection.
He wouldn’t gamble with a child’s life, surely.
And having known Liu Zheng for so long, she was naturally aware of what kind of person he was. She thought that he wouldn’t commit any heinous acts.
Thus at that moment, she nodded lightly and said.
"Alright then, if that’s the case, when I get back, I’ll find a chance to add some of this to his water."
"I’m not sure if all of this will be successful."
Although she now had a very detailed plan, she still felt worried and afraid that something unexpected might happen.
Liu Zheng could see how worried she was and immediately spoke earnestly.
"Don’t worry, the things you’re concerned about won’t happen at all. With me here, there’s nothing to fear."
He reiterated these words over and over.
He hoped Li Yanling could truly put her mind at ease.
If she was too panicked about this matter, it might result in something unfavorable.
So he hoped everything would go smoothly without further complications.
This issue was somewhat difficult to solve, and if anything unexpected happened halfway through this plan he had finally come up with, it would be difficult to resolve in the future.
Seeing him repeat this, how could Li Yanling not understand how important this matter was? right then she nodded and said.
"Okay, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle all of this properly."
