Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s question, Jin Fang lowered his eyes and thought for a long time. After a while, he shook his head and replied, “No, no one has ever hurt my abdomen.”
After pausing for a few seconds, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly added, “Although my abdomen hasn’t suffered any external injuries, I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my intestines in the past few years. At night, my stomach will always ache and ease up, especially when the weather is cold. That stomach ache is like a joint pain, it’s so painful that it can’t be stopped.”
After listening to Jin Fang’s words quietly, Mo Zhu took out her acupuncture bag from her coat pocket and neatly took out a silver needle. After using a lighter to disinfect it, she raised her hand to lift Jin Fang’s shirt and suddenly stabbed the silver needle into the man’s abdomen.
Everyone watched the girl’s actions in shock. A few seconds later, when Mo Zhu pulled out the silver needles again, the needles that had pierced into Jin Fang’s stomach had already turned black.
The fact that the silver needle turned black proved that there was poison in his body!
Seeing this scene, Ming Mei anxiously grabbed Jin Fang’s hand and asked worriedly, “What exactly is going on? Old Jin, why didn’t you tell me that you were injured?”
Even though he did not understand much about medicine, Jin Fang knew what it meant for the silver needle to turn black. He scratched his head at a loss and looked up to pat Ming Mei’s hand comfortingly. He replied in a low voice, “Xiao Mei, don’t worry. I’m really not lying to you. I’ve been with you every day all these years, and I even brought you along on business trips. If I was really injured, how could I hide it from you!”
Mo Zhu disinfected the silver needle again. As she stuffed them back into the acupuncture bag and placed it properly, she continued to ask, “Uncle Jin, as you saw just now, there is indeed poison in your stomach. Think carefully again. Has your abdomen been injured all these years?”
After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something and looked up to add, “When I say that I was injured, I don’t just mean superficial wounds. The place where I inserted the needle for you just now, had it been deliberately touched by someone with ill intentions?”
Following Mo Zhu’s words, Jin Fang’s expression was very grave. He carefully recalled the people who had direct contact with him other than Ming Mei. Two minutes later, he suddenly patted his thigh and said excitedly, “I remember now. A few years ago, the family of a worker from the factory below caused trouble. He had knocked into my stomach!”
Afraid that Mo Zhu would not understand it well, Jin Fang seriously recalled the incident at that time and explained it to the girl in detail, “At that time, the Jin family’s company that I was in charge of had contracted a construction site. There was an accident dispute in the factory. Then, the family of the injured person thought that the Jin Corporation was inaction and ran to the company’s headquarters to cause a scene. I remember that day, a family member stopped me downstairs and pushed my stomach with both hands…”
“Although that person used a lot of strength, there wasn’t any substantial wound on my stomach, so I didn’t pay much attention to this matter. Now that I think about it, it seems like after that matter, my stomach started to hurt frequently at night. Furthermore, as long as I did that, I felt uncomfortable…”
At this point, thinking that Mo Zhu was still a high school student in her teens, Jin Xuan coughed twice and his face turned red in embarrassment.
He really could not continue sharing about these things to a child.
On the other hand, Mo Zhu openly looked up at Jin Fang’s reservedness. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “So does it hurt every time you do that? Is it like being pricked by needles and there’s unbearable pain?”
Upon hearing this, Jin Fang’s face turned red. He looked up at Ming Mei and sat on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what to say.
