Auntie Lan was still feeling proud of herself.
But my heart sank.
From what I knew of Mr. Li, this matter wasn't simple.
"How is it? Is there a problem?" Auntie Lan finally asked.
Mr. Li glanced at Jing Tian and me and smiled faintly. "You haven't been sleeping well these past six months, have you? Your heart palpitations are getting more and more severe.
Auntie Lan was stunned. "How... How can you tell?"
Mr. Li smiled. "This is the aftereffect of drowning."
Auntie Lan denied it repeatedly. "Impossible! That was a long time ago. Why would I suffer the aftereffect until today? Impossible!"
Mr. Li sighed lightly. "The issue is not the drowning, but you were poisoned when your body was at its weakest. I really don't know how you survived. You're really lucky!"
Jing Tian asked hurriedly, "Sir, what kind of poison is it? How do we cure it?"
