29: Poisoning
Li Qingqing calmly dealt with Li Yao's body, and after she finished, she began to clean up the bloodstains outside.
She couldn't stay in this place anymore; she had to find another place to stay for a while.
Li Qingqing couldn't help but get angry when she thought that Su Mianmian had won this time.
She wouldn't let Su Mianmian off; if it weren't for her, how could she have accidentally killed Li Yao?
While angry, Li Qingqing transferred all of Li Yao's transferable money to a virtual card.
Looking at the amount on the card, she left with a smile on her face.
By the time Su Mianmian learned that Li Qingqing had killed someone and fled, two days had already passed.
"You only found out today too?" Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with an incredulous expression.
Shi Xu nodded; he had been too busy recently and couldn't spare any attention for other matters.
He only learned about this today when someone else mentioned it.
"Li Qingqing is really bold!"
"Then my plan is useless, isn't it?"
Su Mianmian hadn't expected her plan to be aborted, so she sighed, disappointed.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Shi Xu reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her, "It's okay, plans often don't keep up with changes; it's normal."
Su Mianmian: "..."
How did she feel that this comfort wasn't really comforting?
Shi Xu saw Su Mianmian's questioning expression and couldn't help but raise a hand to touch his nose.
He was bad with words and didn't know how to comfort people.
Su Mianmian shook her head and said, "Never mind, never mind. Since things have come to this, there's no point in saying more."
She had given up.
This game was really getting more and more fun.
Su Mianmian was looking forward to the day she would see Li Qingqing again.
She believed that day wouldn't be too far off.
She hoped that next time they met, she would see that man by Li Qingqing's side.
Su Mianmian's lips curved into a smile of anticipation.
Shi Xu didn't understand what she was suddenly anticipating. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask her what she was thinking.
Su Mianmian spoke first, "Tomorrow we'll collect the things Mom and Dad collected, and the day after tomorrow we're going to Country M, right?"
Shi Xu had been busy dealing with matters here for a while, and the trip abroad had been delayed again and again.
Su Mianmian had even thought about going by herself, but Shi Xu disagreed.
Since he didn't agree, she couldn't go, so she could only steal some time to collect a few things in the city.
Collecting now was fine; they still had time to make up for it.
Su Mianmian had no psychological burden.
During this time, her self-defense skills had become extremely proficient, and Xu Qing said there was nothing more he could teach her.
Shi Xu then had him teach her marksmanship.
Su Mianmian was very interested in this and had already learned most of it in the past few days.
She was fantasizing about the joy of these past few days when Shi Xu suddenly hummed, pulling her back to reality.
Su Mianmian was about to ask him what he was humming about when her mind suddenly clicked.
He was answering her previous question.
Su Mianmian was glad she hadn't asked, otherwise, she would have been mortified.
"Oh, right, when are we bringing my brother back?"
"I think it would be better to treat him in my space."
"Outside, I'm always a little worried."
Su Mianmian thought of this question, raised her head, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Shi Xu thought for a moment and said, "I'll have someone bring him back today."
He hadn't brought him back earlier because he wanted to test if Su Mianmian's spirit spring water would work.
Now that the experiment was successful, this might be the only way for Su Jinxuan to wake up.
Shi Xu was very much looking forward to the day Su Jinxuan woke up.
Su Mianmian nodded, finally able to see the Original Body's Owner's brother, she was very excited.
In the afternoon, Su Mianmian saw Su Jinxuan.
He looked as if he was sleeping, without too much sickness.
Su Mianmian glanced at Shi Xu; he had really taken good care of the Original Body's Owner's brother.
For the Original Body's Owner's brother to be in a coma for so long, and for Shi Xu to maintain his body like this, Su Mianmian couldn't even imagine how much he had put in.
"Shi Xu, thank you!"
"If it weren't for you, my brother would have..."
Su Mianmian didn't finish the rest of her sentence; she believed Shi Xu would understand.
This gratitude wasn't just what she wanted to say; she believed that if the Original Body's Owner knew everything Shi Xu had done, she would definitely want to thank him too.
Shi Xu smiled and shook his head. He reached out and stroked Su Mianmian's head, "There's no need for such words of thanks; we are family."
Su Mianmian: "..."
She felt Shi Xu was flirting with her.
She shyly looked up at him, and the moment their eyes met, she quickly lowered her head again.
At this attempt to cover up, Shi Xu couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Su Mianmian didn't want to see Shi Xu anymore. She told him she was taking her brother into the space and disappeared from his sight in a blink.
Shi Xu knew Su Mianmian was avoiding him. He shook his head and got up to leave.
He still had many things to deal with.
As soon as Su Mianmian brought Su Jinxuan into the space, book book exclaimed, "Master, the person you brought in has something inside his body!"
Su Mianmian's action of intending to mentally move Su Jinxuan to a room paused. She looked at book book with a blank expression, "What's inside his body?"
Could it be that he had an ability?
Impossible, right?
Su Mianmian's mind wandered.
"There's a medicine inside his body, a medicine that makes people fall into an unconscious state."
"I don't know who is so vicious to do this to him."
"I checked, his life shouldn't end."
"Master, do you want to save him?"
book book's words were like a hammer, striking directly at Su Mianmian's heart.
Shi Xu definitely didn't know about this. She had to tell him and let him investigate this matter thoroughly.
As Su Mianmian thought of this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
She would definitely not let go of the person who dared to poison Su Jinxuan.
"book book, can he wake up by relying solely on spirit spring water?"
Su Mianmian looked at book book with a serious expression.
Seeing her serious expression, book book shook its head.
"You need to make medicine. I have the prescription here; you need to make the medicine."
"Master, keep it up!"
As soon as book book finished speaking, a prescription floated in front of Su Mianmian.
She reached out and took it, glancing at it to find that what needed to be made was a detoxification pill.
"Master, if you successfully develop it, you can use this medicine to detoxify ninety percent of the poisons you encounter in the future."
"Isn't that amazing!"
When book book mentioned this prescription, it couldn't help but feel proud.
Seeing it like this, what else did Su Mianmian not understand?
This prescription was probably something it had researched itself.
"Are you sure it can really detoxify?"
"It won't be ineffective, will it?"
Su Mianmian said with hesitation.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, book book was so angry that its leaves fell off.
Su Mianmian was hit by the falling leaves and couldn't help but wave her hand.
"Master, I wouldn't lie to you!"
"You have to believe me!"
book book said with a mix of anger and grievance.
Su Mianmian felt its resentment and quickly pleaded, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have doubted you. Then, please adjust the time in the space for longer now, and I'll start researching immediately."
She originally thought book book had adjusted the time for her to one month, but she asked and found out it was half a year... Su Mianmian didn't want to speak.
book book really didn't trust her at all.
It took Su Mianmian more than a month to successfully refine a batch of detoxification pills.
During this time, she kept failing and then researching why she failed.
She almost went crazy.
When Su Mianmian saw the successfully refined detoxification pills, tears almost welled up in her eyes.
book book had been watching her busy all this time and knew her hard work.
"Master, you're amazing!"
"I thought it would take you half a year to succeed!"
"You have a lot of talent."
book book smelled the pure aroma of the pills and said, intoxicated.
Su Mianmian didn't care about talent or not; she only knew that no matter what, she had to work hard at something.
If one had talent but didn't work hard, it was all in vain.
"Can I feed him directly now?"
"Or should I not feed him now?"
book book knew more, so Su Mianmian thought it was better to ask.
"Master, feed him one-third now."
"Feed him the rest tomorrow."
"Then, after drinking spirit spring water for another month, he will be able to wake up."
book book told Su Mianmian in a serious tone.
