Chapter 229: Who is the Culprit?

"Being followed?" Old Madam Jiang was startled upon hearing this.

Jiang Baobao nodded calmly, leading the two of them through the back alley of the restaurant and onto another street.

"Baobao, the person following us is..." Old Madam Jiang's expression was somewhat hesitant; the words reached her lips, but she wavered and did not say them.

Jiang Baobao instantly guessed what she wanted to say and replied softly, "It can basically be confirmed that they are from the Lu Family, so we must go and return quickly, lest the other party grows suspicious..."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she quickly reached out to hail a taxi.

Old Madam Jiang nodded in agreement and immediately bent down to get into the car, not daring to waste any time.

Jiang Baobao gave the address, and before long, the hospital from last time appeared before their eyes.

The three of them still did not use the main entrance, but instead went around to the back door of the hospital.

Liu Xin'ai had already been waiting for a long time; hearing a sound outside the door, she immediately pulled open the door to the consultation room.

Sure enough, she saw Jiang Baobao appearing outside the door with the two of them.

"Wow... we... we meet again!"

As soon as Jiang Chenghao saw Liu Xin'ai, his eyes lit up immediately.

A trace of sadness flashed across Liu Xin'ai's expression, but she quickly pulled herself together, smiled, and took Jiang Chenghao's hand, bringing him inside.

Jiang Baobao saw this, but felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, feeling stifled and heavy.

She then hurriedly asked, "By the way, Xinaijie, how many examinations need to be done today? We shouldn't have much time; we can stay here for at most one hour."

"Is time that tight?" Liu Xin'ai was taken aback upon hearing this, her expression somewhat hesitant.

She pondered for two seconds before replying, "Then let's do some simple examinations first. I want to have Cheng Hao draw some blood for testing."

"Draw blood?" Old Madam Jiang was stunned, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Generally, people with mental problems shouldn't need blood tests, right...

Liu Xin'ai seemed to read her expression and hurriedly explained, "Because we already did brain-related examinations for Cheng Hao last time, but there were no problems at all, so... I thought it would be better to screen through other aspects again carefully, just to be more at ease."

"Alright, then let's do as you say." Old Madam Jiang had no objections.

Jiang Baobao also didn't say much, only watching Jiang Chenghao with some worry.

Not long after, another doctor came into the room; it was the friend Liu Xin'ai had mentioned.

Jiang Chenghao was unusually well-behaved today, his eyes fixed only on Liu Xin'ai from beginning to end; even when his blood was drawn, he didn't make a fuss at all.

Seeing him so obedient, the few of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After the blood was drawn, Jiang Chenghao was taken by Liu Xin'ai to do some other examinations, and the hour passed by quickly.

Seeing that the time was about up, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but urge, "Xinaijie, it's about time; we have to take Uncle back."

"So soon?" Liu Xin'ai was taken aback upon hearing this and looked at Jiang Chenghao with some reluctance, but could only nod in helpless agreement.

Then, suddenly thinking of something, she looked at Jiang Baobao and exhorted, "By the way, the blood test results should take about another hour, because it's not a routine examination, so it takes longer than usual. If there is any situation..."

"Then you call me immediately, and we will keep in touch at all times." Jiang Baobao took over the words.

Liu Xin'ai nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Jiang Baobao hurriedly left with Jiang Chenghao and Old Madam Jiang.

Jiang Baobao walked out through the back door of the hospital as usual, casually hailed a taxi, and gave the address of the restaurant.

Then, without alerting anyone, she returned to the restaurant through the emergency exit.

The three returned to the private room, ordered some simple dishes, and quickly finished their dinner.

Jiang Baobao kept track of the time and led the two out of the restaurant.

At a glance, she saw that the black commercial vehicle that had been following them was indeed still parked on the side of the road.

Jiang Baobao swept a glance at the direction of the car with an expressionless face, pulled Old Madam Jiang into her own car, and drove the two of them directly back to the Jiang Family.

Not long after, the car stopped outside the villa gate.

Old Madam Jiang got out of the car with Jiang Chenghao, and before entering the door, she did not forget to exhort, "Baobao, if there is any news from that girl Xin'ai, you must tell me in time."

Jiang Baobao hurriedly agreed, "I know, if there is any situation, I will tell you immediately."

Old Madam Jiang nodded, sighed again, and then left with Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Baobao watched the two enter the door, then started the car, her eyes subconsciously glancing at the rearview mirror.

That black commercial vehicle had indeed disappeared.

A trace of coldness flashed in the depths of her eyes; she started the car with an expressionless face, burying all her worries in her heart.

The Lu Family is so nervous about me taking Uncle out; there must be some problem...

What exactly are they feeling guilty about?

Jiang Baobao's mind was a bit messy the whole way; thinking about the work waiting for her at the Base, she felt a bit listless for a moment.

The weather outside the window was still incredibly gloomy, making one feel lifeless.

Only halfway through the drive, Jiang Baobao suddenly heard her phone ring.

She casually pressed the car's hands-free button, and the next second, she heard Liu Xin'ai's anxious voice resounding inside the car.

"Baobao! The test results are out! Cheng Hao... in his blood, a certain type of neurological element was detected. This element is a component contained in a certain drug previously used to treat brain diseases!"

"A drug? Xinaijie, you mean..."

Jiang Baobao slammed on the brakes, quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road, her expression blank for a moment.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Xin'ai also took a deep breath before continuing, "Although it is a drug, this drug was never officially put on the market; it was still in the experimental stage when it was halted due to huge side effects. That element is also unique to that drug, but... the failed experimental drugs should have been destroyed long ago!"

"So Uncle becoming like this now is because he was harmed by that drug?!"

Jiang Baobao's expression suddenly became sharp, and a flash of hatred crossed her eyes.

Liu Xin'ai couldn't accept it for a moment either, but still continued, "I think... it should be."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately slammed her hand against the steering wheel!

Drug...

Little Uncle was actually harmed into his current state by drugs!

Who was it that dealt him such a vicious blow?

Was it the Lu Family?

They were so nervous about her taking Little Uncle out; this matter was most likely done by them!

But what evidence did she have?

She had to find a way!

She absolutely had to find a way!

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, her mind in complete chaos.

Hearing the sound from Jiang Baobao's side, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly spoke to comfort her: "Baobao, don't be anxious yet. If it really was caused by drugs, then there is a high probability of letting Cheng Hao recover!"

"Really?"

Jiang Baobao's eyes lit up instantly, and she spoke without hesitation: "Xinaijie, as long as Little Uncle can be cured, no matter what you need me to do, or how much money it costs, it's all fine!"
