He Shu sighed and gestured for Huo Yao to leave. He said softly, "It's a long story... Anyway, Qin Zheng isn't human."
Qin Zheng was Vice-President Qin's name.
He Shu only briefly mentioned how Vice Chairman Qin had forced Old Wang to temporarily hand over the position of chairman to him.
Huo Yao frowned and said, "Is Old Mr. Wang sick?"
He Shu nodded with a worried look on his face. "His old illness has relapsed, and Qin Zheng is withholding his medicine... So Master isn't in a good state of mind."
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. She contemplated before she said, "I'll go visit him."
He Shu knew that Huo Yao could refine medicine, but he did not know how good her medical skills were. Moreover, Old Mr. Wang had never mentioned it before, so he assumed that Huo Yao wanted to visit him. "Okay."
Half an hour later, Huo Yao arrived at Old Mr. Wang's place.
It was a historic courtyard house in the old city.
Huo Yao did not look around at the moment and quickly followed He Shu into Old Mr. Wang's bedroom.
"Old Mr. Wang just took his medicine and went to sleep. He might not wake up so soon," said the butler, who had been taking care of Old Mr. Wang, to He Shu.
He Shu glanced at Old Mr. Wang, who was resting with his eyes closed. He frowned and asked. "Did he take sleeping pills again?"
The butler nodded. "He said his body started to hurt like needles, and the painkillers didn't work."
He Shu took out the medicine Assistant Wang gave him from his pocket. "I brought it back."
Seeing this, the housekeeper's face lit up. "That's great."
He Shu nodded.
Huo Yao listened to their conversation and walked over to the bed. She first checked Old Mr. Wang's complexion before she took his hand out from under the blanket and placed her fingertips on his pulse.
She frowned the moment she felt his pulse.
He Shu stopped talking to the butler when he saw what Huo Yao was doing. He walked over quietly and asked her softly after she pulled her hand back. "How is it?"
Huo Yao tucked Old Mr. Wang in before she straightened up. "He's on the brink of death."
He Shu's expression changed instantly. "How is that possible? Master is only suffering from anxiety because of the association. How could he be at the end of his rope … "
Huo Yao glanced at Old Mr. Wang before her eyes landed on the medicine bottle in He Shu's hand. She did not answer his question and merely said, "Show me the medicine."
When He Shu saw this, he hurriedly passed the medicine to her.
Huo Yao took out a pill and sniffed it carefully. She knew what it was and put it back in the bottle. "Has Old Mr. Wang been taking this all this time?"
He Shu nodded and asked, "Is there a problem with this medicine?"
Huo Yao shook her head. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with the medicine itself. But long-term consumption will produce a chronic toxin, especially for people who already have ripples in their bodies. The toxin will eat away at their vitality bit by bit."
He Shu was startled. "Chronic poison?"
