Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief as she withdrew the silver needles.
This man was indeed seriously poisoned. It took her quite a lot of effort to help him revive. Lucky she arrived there in time, or this man would probably have dropped dead at Restaurant Tianxiang.
At that time, the situation would be very difficult for Restaurant Tianxiang.
At this moment, Gu Chaoyan looked at the manager of Restaurant Tianxiang without caring about the officers. “Got any tea?”
The manager was still in shock at the sight of the poisoned man who had just woken up.
Hearing that Gu Chaoyan needed tea, he poured one cup for her personally. “Thanks for your efforts, Miss.”
He thought that it was Gu Chaoyan who was thirsty.
Gu Chaoyan took over the teacup and squeezed a drop of magical water into the cup when no one was paying attention. She did save that man from death with acupuncture, but he was too weak to wait for the real medicine to arrive. So she made use of the magical water, which not only helped with beautifying faces, but also curing wounds, just as Gu Chaoyan had discovered.
She gave the tea to that man who had just woken up. “Drink it.”
The man was still weak, so he drank the tea without hesitation as Gu Chaoyan told him to. Then he became completely radiant.
Color started to emerge on his cheeks and he looked no longer like someone who was at the edge of death.
When the noisy men saw their Second Brother waking up, they stopped making a fuss and crawled quickly to this poisoned man, asking, “Second Brother, are you alright?”
“...”
“Great that you are doing fine!”
As they were talking, he turned to the officer and pointed at the manager of Restaurant Tianxiang, saying, “Officer, my Second Brother is cured now, but there is something wrong with Restaurant Tianxiang! They poisoned my Second Brother!”
“...”
“Officer, please seek justice for my Second Brother!”
Gu Chaoyan looked at the man who was talking. He kept mentioning about his poisoned Second Brother yet showed no concern. He was trying to get Restaurant Tianxiang into trouble.
Also, this poisoned man did not counter.
However, what she did not understand was why this poisoned man would sacrifice his life just to set up Restaurant Tianxiang?
She did not know Restaurant Tianxiang well, but they gave her a dish for free. It was a kind of gratitude to be paid back. So Gu Chaoyan said, “What do you think Restaurant Tianxiang is killing your Second Brother for? What benefits does Restaurant Tianxiang get by killing your Second Brother?”
“...”
“You have to look into this matter properly.”
Poisoning? The poisoned man looked at the man next to him with disbelief.
No wonder... No wonder he felt so dreadful, but that was not their original deal. What they had planned was to give him some diarrhea pills so that he could get a stomachache, but he ended up getting poisoned?!
The poisoned man pushed away the man in front of him. “Third Brother, you were trying to poison me!”
The man who was pushed panicked. “Second Brother, you are not thinking clearly, why would I kill you? It is Restaurant Tianxiang who tried to do so!” He kept blinking at the poisoned man and indicated that he should not ruin the plan.
The poisoned man ignored that indication. He was almost killed! And he had felt the seriousness of his injury. It was more than getting diarrhea!
He bellowed loudly. “I am thinking clearly!”
