Yi Zheng raised his eyes slightly and stared at her steadily. “Do you know something?”
Shi Man was slightly stunned, as if she was trying to determine if he wanted her to know the truth or not.
But his eyes were too dark, and she suddenly couldn’t understand him. She simply skipped the question and asked, “Do you want to know who poisoned you?”
Yi Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. “You don’t have to be so careful in front of me.”
He opened the car door and sat back in the car with Shi Man. Only then did he look at the suddenly dark sky outside and a trace of melancholy flashed across his face. “Actually, 1 know who did it.”
Shi Man put her hand on the back of his hand in understanding and sighed. “You didn’t fuss about it because you think your family has always owed them because of your grandfather’s instructions before he died, right?”
Yi Zheng lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes hiding the light in them. “They’re not too ruthless. At least this poison will only torture me and make me unable to inherit such a large family business. It won’t take my life.”
“So, President Yi, who almost holds the economic lifeline of the entire city, is soft-hearted because your opponent didn’t take your life?” Shi Man’s words were filled with obvious mockery.
She did not agree with this approach.
Since the culprit had already done something shady, there was no need to endure it. At most, he would tell everything and see who would be embarrassed for what he had done first.
Feeling the girl beside him complaining about his injustice, Yi Zheng smiled from the bottom of his heart and patted her head dotingly. “Let’s go back to the Yi family first. You have to change your clothes before you can treat your brother. Make a list of what medicine you need. There should be something you need in the storeroom.”
Shi Man lay flat in the backseat and let him arrange it for her.
The two of them tacitly didn’t mention the topic again, but they had an unspoken mutual understanding. Before they left this time, thet knew a fig leaf that had been covering up this matter for more than ten years would probably be lifted in the end.
When Yi Zheng brought Shi Man home, Lu Xiang and Yi Long were waiting at home. Seeing Shi Man return, the two of them happily supported her and sat on the sofa, insisting on showing her the box of jewelry Lu Xiang had bought for her.
Yi Zheng, who was left alone, watched with a smile as Shi Man got along well with her parents. The anger in his heart that had been stirred up by the past gradually subsided.
After the few of them had a happy lunch, Shi Man changed into a hoodie that could cover her face. She also wore the mask she often used before and returned to the Shi family with Yi Zheng.
The Shi family manor in front of them was clearly very different from when they came in the morning.
The scattered doctors in the courtyard had already evacuated. The entire manor was abnormally quiet, and even the birds could not be heard. The surroundings were quiet and empty. Shi Man walked on the familiar stone path, but she felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
A few months ago, this manor was filled with laughter. The Shi family sat around eating barbecue and tasting good wine. It was a happy scene.
Now, there was only Shi He left in this manor who had been tortured to the point of being bedridden.
Thinking of this, the temperature around Shi Man instantly dropped to the freezing point.
Yi Zheng looked over as if he had sensed something. He quietly tugged at her pinky, indicating that she should not reveal her emotions easily for the time being.
The two of them walked into the ward together. At this moment, there was only an unconscious Shi He inside. Only the sound of equipment could be heard.
Shi He’s face was pale, and his lips were dry and cracked. He had already been tortured to the point of losing his vitality.
Shi Man’s heart ached and she quickly took out the silver needles she carried with her.
Yi Zheng immediately cooperated and took out the medicine that was prepared in advance to help her apply it to the tip of the silver needles. Then, he stood quietly at the side and watched her administer the needles to Shi He.
Shi Man was already extremely skilled at treating heat poison. Before she could pull out the silver needles, Shi He slowly woke up under the effect of the antidote.
He opened his eyes slightly and saw the unfamiliar ceiling above his head. Then, right on the heels of that, he looked down and saw a girl wearing a strange mask sitting in front of his bed.
A terrifying memory suddenly surged into his mind again. Shi He struggled to sit up in fear, but the fractures on his body had yet to recover. He could not move his entire body. He could only widen his eyes and look around the room helplessly. In the end, his gaze landed on the man standing against the wall.
“Yi Zheng?” When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and there was a sharp pain in his throat.
Yi Zheng took his hand out of his pocket and walked over slowly. He patted his shoulder comfortingly and said, “Don’t worry, she’s here to detoxify you. Your eldest brother and second brother will come and see you later.”
“Where is this?” Shi He looked around in shock, feeling that the walls of the house looked familiar.
As expected, Yi Zheng’s answer confirmed his guess in the next second.
“This is your house, so you don’t have to be afraid..”
