Gu Zhiqi spoke, glancing at the tea on the coffee table, then picked up the teapot and gently shook it. She looked at Fu Xiyan and asked, "He drank this tea while talking to you, right?"
"It must be in here." Gu Zhiqi said, pulling out an acupuncture kit and a small porcelain bottle.
Taking out a needle, she inserted it into the porcelain bottle to soak for a few seconds, then drew it out and inserted it into the teapot.
When the Silver Needle was taken out again, a layer of black had appeared on it.
Fu Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then felt a surge of fear mixed with relief.
Just now Qi Rui poured him a cup of tea. Fortunately, he had been cautious and didn’t drink it.
Qi Rui stared at the black layer on the Silver Needle, also stunned, "How is this possible? I brewed the tea myself, using leaves that I had personally kept. I’ve been drinking it for a long time without any issues."
"It’s the water." Gu Zhiqi said, wiping the Silver Needle with a tissue before putting it back into the porcelain bottle.
Qi Rui heard this, and paused momentarily, then looked apologetically at Fu Xiyan, "Mr. Fu, I didn’t know, I’m really sorry about earlier."
Qi Rui regretted giving Fu Xiyan the tea earlier.
He also felt relieved that Fu Xiyan hadn’t drunk the tea, otherwise poisoning someone under the Ever Winning Army’s jurisdiction was a crime he couldn’t bear to take.
However, even though Fu Xiyan hadn’t been poisoned by the tea, he was still suspected of poisoning, so he had to explain.
Fu Xiyan nodded to Qi Rui, then looked at Gu Zhiqi, "I called Yun Sen earlier; Yun Sen said the antidote had been distributed. Do you have a way to detoxify?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded, then looked at Qi Rui and said, "You have two choices. The first option is I detoxify you, but you have to pay."
"The second option is to wait for your Master’s Sect to make the antidote and ask them for it."
"You can choose now."
Qi Rui fell into a long silence, finally raising his head and hesitantly looking at Gu Zhiqi, "If you do it, how much will it cost?"
Gu Zhiqi: "Five million."
Qi Rui’s expression flickered, then he shook his head, "To be honest, Mo Qingsnow manages all our money, so... I’ll wait for the Master’s Sect’s antidote."
Gu Zhiqi nodded and said nothing more, lowering her gaze to pack away her acupuncture kit and porcelain bottle.
The matters at the Qi family seemed to be finished, so the group left the Qi family.
Once outside the Qi family gates, Gu Zhiqi looked at Fu Xiyan and asked, "Is there anything else?"
After wandering in the forest in the morning and being busy at the Medical Alliance, she was tired and wanted to rest.
Fu Xiyan replied to Gu Zhiqi, "No." Then he looked at Su Yunling, "When will you interrogate Mo Qingsnow?"
Su Yunling noticed the fatigue in Gu Zhiqi’s expression and replied to Fu Xiyan, "Tomorrow." Then he said to Gu Zhiqi, "You look tired, go rest."
Gu Zhiqi nodded, "I’ll leave now. Call me when you interrogate tomorrow."
The group then split up after leaving the Qi family gates.
After returning to her room, Gu Zhiqi slept for a while, then studied continuously after waking up.
As the sky began to darken, the room door was knocked upon, prompting Gu Zhiqi to put away her book.
Opening the door, she saw a strange man standing at the entrance, and a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes, "What’s the matter?"
