“Is there a way to expose those who have been affected by voodoo?” I asked.
Mr. Li turned around and pointed at the busy people with his chin. “They are preparing the medicine.”
I was relieved.
“Then what are you doing?” I curiously watched him fiddle with those test tubes. He did not often use these western medicine things. His medical skills were more inclined towards metaphysics.
“I’m trying to purify our drinking water. Tan Si said that there are outsiders who have sneaked in. I’m worried that apart from planting bombs, they will also poison us. If they poison us, they will definitely not use lethal poisons. Instead, they will use voodoo worms and the like to control people. Don’t you agree?” Mr. Li raised his head to look at me.
My back was drenched in sweat. I finally understood why I had a very strange feeling when I saw Lin Nan. Moreover, Tong Zhuo said that if Lin Nan exploded…
I understood.
I grabbed Mr. Li’s hand. “Master, are you sure about this medicine?”
Mr. Li nodded. “Yes. It’s just a little troublesome. I need some time. When I’m done, you can make the arrangements.”
“Master, let’s go and see Lin Nan. I feel that there’s something wrong with Lin Nan.” I was a little anxious, but I didn’t know how to express myself.
Mr. Li shook the test tube in his hand and stared at it for a few seconds before nodding. “It’s done!”
He put down the test tube in his hand. “Nanxing, get a few people to sprinkle these reagents into the water inlet. There mustn’t be any mistakes!”
“Alright!”
I immediately called Xiaoyi and asked him to arrange it.
Mr. Li washed his hands and said, “Let’s go and take a look at the person who is rumored to be poisoned.”
I got someone to bring Lin Hua over as well.
Mr. Li was puzzled. “He’s still a little weak after having the voodoo removed. What’s the use of bringing him along?”
I shook my head. “I don’t know. It’s his sister. What if he can help?”
Mr. Li smiled. “When it comes to reading people’s minds, I think none of them are as good as you.”
I was stunned. “Am I?”
Mr. Li glanced at me. “You get sensitive to these things after treading on thin ice for a long time. It’s not a bad thing.”
I was in a daze and almost sprained my ankle. Mr. Li was quick-witted and grabbed my wrist.
When I came back to my senses, I blamed myself for having poor concentration and being absent-minded.
However, Mr. Li didn’t let go of my wrist. His expression changed.
His finger was placed on my pulse.
“What’s wrong, Master?” I asked softly.
Could it be that I was poisoned?
I wasn’t nervous. Anyway, nothing could poison me to death.
Mr. Li looked at me. The expression on his face was a little difficult to explain. “Nanxing, you should be pregnant!”
I shook my hand in shock, and my face turned red. “Nonsense! Master…”
How long has it been? It hasn’t even been a month, alright? I haven’t even reached the date of my menstrual period. How did he know that I was pregnant?
Mr. Li smiled. “It hasn’t been that long, so I can’t be completely sure. But, believe me, it shouldn’t be wrong.”
I said stubbornly, “Impossible. How can you make such an arbitrary announcement? There’s no scientific basis for this!”
Mr. Li nodded. “Yes, there’s no scientific basis for this, but you’re not someone who can be explained by science.”
I was stunned for a moment. That was true.
Mr. Li laughed. “If Jing Tian knew about this, I’m afraid he would be dumbfounded as well. Old Master Jing and Old Madam Jing will be ecstatic.”
