~7 min read 1,319 words

"I'm listening."

Jiang Baobao snapped back to her senses and hurriedly gave an answer.

Only then did Liu Xin'ai continue: "What I just said is only my speculation, but one thing is certain: there must be people specifically developing this kind of drug. It's just that I don't know what kind of relationship the Lu Family has with them. Also, there is some good news..."

Liu Xin'ai changed the subject, her tone suddenly becoming a bit more relaxed: "Since we know the specific ingredients, I can try to develop an antidote targeting them. As long as Cheng Hao stops the medication and stops taking it, combined with the conditioning from other drugs, perhaps he really can recover..."

"Really?" Jiang Baobao's eyes lit up instantly.

"Really, believe me, I... I want to cure him more than anyone else!" Liu Xin'ai's tone was also somewhat emotional.

Jiang Baobao immediately replied: "Then I'll wait for your good news! Also... if the Lu Family really did something, I will definitely find a way to get evidence!"

"Good, let's cure Cheng Hao first. You must be careful; discuss things with me before you do anything." Liu Xin'ai was a bit worried about Jiang Baobao.

The two of them spoke a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Jiang Baobao, however, was incredibly happy; the mere thought that Jiang Chenghao had a possibility of recovery made her eyes sting.

She suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called Grandmother Jiang.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello? Grandma, I have some good news to tell you!"

Jiang Baobao said hurriedly as soon as it connected.

Grandmother Jiang immediately sensed something and asked excitedly: "What is it? Is there a result from the medicine you took last time? Can Cheng Hao be cured?"

"Yes!" Jiang Baobao replied immediately, recounting what Liu Xin'ai had just told her to Grandmother Jiang.

Grandmother Jiang fell into silence after hearing it.

"The Lu Family... do they really dare to do something like producing illegal drugs?"

Grandmother Jiang's voice was trembling slightly.

Jiang Baobao's tone also became grave: "Grandma, this matter is only our inference; everything still requires evidence. But, Uncle has already gained hope for a cure. Xinaijie and I will do our best to help him recover, and we won't let anyone from the Lu Family off either!"

Grandmother Jiang did not speak.

After pondering for a few seconds, she suddenly lowered her voice and said: "Baobao, what kind of evidence do you need? Do you still need the previous medicine? Or something else? Grandma is living here now and can help you. As long as we get the evidence, you can topple the Lu Family as soon as possible..."

"Grandma, don't be impulsive!" Jiang Baobao was startled by the old lady's idea and hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

"Leave these things to me. Your only task now is to take good care of Uncle. Don't let him take any more medicine given by the Lu Family. Also, you must pay more attention to your own health; your heart hasn't been good to begin with..."

"That's an old ailment of mine; it hasn't flared up for many years." Grandmother Jiang sighed and said helplessly: "With your uncle in this state, how could I dare not take good care of myself and leave him behind alone..."

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao's eyes suddenly grew moist again.

"Grandma, I will definitely get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Wait for my news. Please, do not act rashly. As soon as Uncle shows signs of improvement, we will immediately investigate the Lu Family and bring you out of there at that time..."

"Good, Grandma will wait for you..."

Grandmother Jiang's voice was very gratified.

The two of them spoke a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Jiang Baobao, however, no longer had the mood to work and sat in her chair, lost in thought.

She could not act rashly.

If the Lu Family discovered her private investigation, both Grandma and Uncle would be in danger.

The Lu Family might bite back at any moment.

She had to first determine if Uncle's condition could be recovered.

If he really could recover and even recall the clues from back then, that would be the most powerful evidence!

Moreover, apart from that bottle of medicine...

She currently had no leads at all...

As Jiang Bao thought, a piece of information suddenly flashed through her mind, and her eyes widened instantly.

That's right!

That physiotherapy clinic!

The shop where she and Xiao Tang had accidentally run into Lu Qing'er and Uncle!

In an instant, Jiang Baobao felt as if she had caught a thread of thought. After pondering for two seconds, she picked up her phone directly.

She had originally intended to never bother with those things again, but now...

It seemed she had no choice but to seek them out...

"Hello? Who is this?"

The call was answered quickly.

Jiang Baobao replied indifferently: "It's me."

Just that one word left the person on the other end of the line stunned in place.

The other party hesitated for a long while before asking uncertainly: "Boss?"

"Who else could it be besides me? But... why are you still calling me Boss?" Jiang Baobao asked back, annoyed.

The next second, she heard the other person immediately refute loudly: "Of course you're the boss! Your heroic deeds from back then are already at a legendary level here! Quite a few people want to spar with you! You finally remembered us! I thought you really didn't care anymore! You threw 'Mist' to me and it's been two or three years. What's so fun about playing games! If it weren't for the fear of making you angry, we would have all hacked into that game's server to chat with you. You have no idea..."

"Stop!" Jiang Baobao knew that once the other party started, they would never finish, so she hurriedly interrupted and explained helplessly: "I'm not here to reminisce with you today; I have something I need your help with..."

"What are you saying? You are the boss of our Mist; of course we all listen to you. What's this about help or no help..."

"Fine, fine, fine, listen to me first!" Jiang Baobao interrupted the other party again: "Find someone to help me keep an eye on a shop! If there is any movement, tell me immediately! I'll send you the address in a moment!"

"Received! Guarantee to complete the mission!" The person on the other end of the phone agreed immediately.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Baobao shook her head with a smile and tossed the phone aside, her expression somewhat melancholy.

She hadn't expected... that she would end up using "Mist" after all, the hacker Organization she had founded with her own hands.

Initially, she just felt that having such an Organization was fun.

But later, because she had to take care of Mobai and Tiantian, plus the affairs of the Team, she gradually faded out of the Organization, and after handing it over to someone she trusted, she completely lost contact.

She had originally thought she could resolve these troubles on her own.

But now, things were completely different.

She was going to use every means at her disposal to grab onto the pigtails the Lu Family had exposed and thoroughly crush them!

……

The next day—

Liu Xin'ai had also been feeling excited for the entire night.

She tidied herself up quickly first thing in the morning, intending to go straight to her friend's research institute.

But she hadn't expected that just as she went downstairs, she would run right into Qin Yiyan, who was just about to go upstairs.

"So early? I remember your Hospital starts work at nine."

He looked pointedly at the wall clock in the living room, the hands of which clearly hadn't even reached eight o'clock yet.
