Five minutes later, Wu Feng stood at the guest room door. He wasn't there to mock Er Zhu, he was just curious.
He quietly opened the door a crack and saw Zhao Qian lying on the bed. The bloodstains on her face were gone, and she was already dressed.
"Sigh, I should have known she wouldn't wake up. What was I even hoping for?"
Seeing that Zhao Qian hadn't woken up, Wu Feng glanced at his watch, muttered to himself, and prepared to close the door and leave.
He had seen Er Zhu's calm demeanor and thought a miracle might actually happen, but it turned out there was no miracle.
It made sense, though. If even Elder Feng couldn't cure the poison, how could a mere businessman?
"Holy cow. She's actually awake."
Just as Wu Feng was about to close the door, he saw Zhao Qian open her eyes. He blurted out in surprise, his eyes wide.
Hearing the voice, Zhao Qian looked towards the door. Seeing her, Wu Feng simply walked in.
"My boss saved you. You should thank him properly later."
A flicker of admiration flashed in Wu Feng's stunned eyes as he looked Zhao Qian up and down.
She had actually woken up!
An incurable poison had been cured!
This was a miracle in the medical world!
Wu Feng was incredibly shocked. So his boss wasn't bragging; it was the truth!
Wu Feng was so excited he felt like kowtowing to his boss right then and there!
His boss was not only a capable young businessman but also a miracle doctor!
As Wu Feng was in shock, Er Zhu happened to walk in. Seeing Er Zhu, Zhao Qian managed to sit up with difficulty.
"Thank you for saving me. I..."
Zhao Qian nodded slightly, trying to say something, but the piercing pain prevented her from speaking.
"Wu Feng, you're not needed here anymore. You can go."
Er Zhu didn't respond to Zhao Qian but turned to Wu Feng. Wu Feng snapped back to reality and quickly retreated.
Now, his boss was his idol!
From this day forward, he would obey his boss's every word!
"No need to thank me. What happened to you?"
After Wu Feng left, Er Zhu turned back and asked. Mentioning this, Zhao Qian frowned.
It turned out the police were hunting a murderer, and the precinct was short-handed, so she had gone out. She thought it was just a gunshot wound, but it didn't heal even after a long time. Today, besides reporting on that matter, she also wanted Er Zhu to treat her injury.
"Oh, it's not just a gunshot wound, you were also poisoned by Datura flower."
After listening to Zhao Qian, Er Zhu nodded slightly and said calmly. He spoke very calmly, but Zhao Qian's heart was pounding!
"Datura flower poison... Isn't this poison incurable?"
After a long pause, Zhao Qian finally reacted, looking at Er Zhu with confusion.
She knew Er Zhu was a skilled doctor, but she hadn't expected him to be this skilled!
If he could cure an incurable poison, what couldn't he do in this world!
A flicker of admiration flashed in Zhao Qian's shocked eyes. She suddenly realized Er Zhu had grown much taller in her heart!
"That's for others. For me, it's a piece of cake."
Er Zhu smiled slightly, glanced at Zhao Qian, and handed her the bowl of herbal medicine.
Although the Datura flower poison was cured, it didn't mean Zhao Qian had fully recovered, as her injuries were still quite serious.
Of course, this so-called seriousness was relative. For him, it was just a matter of a bowl of medicine.
"Thank you, Er Zhu. Can I stay at your place tonight? It's too dark."
After taking the medicine, Zhao Qian felt her wound improve significantly. She should have gone home, but seeing Er Zhu, she changed her mind.
It wasn't that she wanted to seduce Er Zhu or anything; she just wanted to be closer to him.
"You can. Get some good rest. You don't need to say goodbye tomorrow."
Er Zhu naturally understood Zhao Qian's feelings, but he didn't refuse. After saying this, he left the room.
Looking at Er Zhu's retreating back, Zhao Qian's face flushed. She clutched the bedsheet tightly, a faint smile on her lips.
Even though they weren't sharing a bed, she was already content with this.
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Zhao Qian left Er Zhu's house. But just as she reached the door, she ran into Sun Erniang.
"Oh my, Officer Zhao, why are you coming out of Er Zhu's house? Could it be that you two..."
Sun Erniang, who was clutching her head and about to scold someone, suddenly saw Zhao Qian. Her eyes lit up, and she asked with a gossip-filled expression.
Er Zhu still didn't have a girlfriend. As someone who had benefited from Er Zhu's kindness before, Sun Erniang was worried sick.
She had planned to introduce a girlfriend to Er Zhu, but now it seemed unnecessary!
Speaking of Zhao Qian, apart from her somewhat tomboyish personality, she was quite a good match for Er Zhu!
Sun Erniang's thoughts ran wild, and she even started picturing Er Zhu and Zhao Qian's wedding.
"No, it's not what you think. I..."
Seeing Sun Erniang's expression, Zhao Qian knew she had misunderstood. She wanted to explain, but thinking about the case, she didn't know what to say.
The case was a police secret and couldn't be revealed to anyone, especially the public.
"Haha, don't explain. Er Niang was young once too. I understand."
Seeing Zhao Qian hesitate, Sun Erniang thought she was making excuses. She smiled and waved her hand, acting as if she had seen through her.
At the same time, Er Zhu happened to come out. Sun Erniang immediately spotted him and waved enthusiastically:
"Er Zhu, you two have already slept together, huh? When are you planning to get married? Our village hasn't had such a lively event in a long time."
As soon as Er Zhu arrived, Sun Erniang grabbed his hand, then took Zhao Qian's hand, speaking while placing their hands together.
Er Zhu's marriage would be the biggest joy for their village!
"Er Niang, you've misunderstood. Zhao Qian came to me for treatment. It was too late yesterday, so I let her stay at my place."
Er Zhu explained what happened last night while casually pulling his hand away.
"Ah? Injured? Zhao Qian, how did you get hurt?"
Hearing this, Sun Erniang's face instantly fell. She pulled Zhao Qian's hand and asked with concern.
Zhao Qian had been in the village for quite some time, and Sun Erniang treated her like her own daughter. Naturally, a mother would worry about her daughter being injured.
"Er Niang, Zhao Qian is a police officer. There are some things she can't tell you." Just as Zhao Qian was hesitating, Er Zhu spoke slowly.
Sun Erniang was taken aback. She wanted to ask more, but when she saw Er Zhu's dark eyes, the words died on her lips.
"Yes, yes, sorry, Zhao Qian. Er Niang was being nosy. I won't ask anymore, I won't ask."
Sun Erniang slapped her own mouth and quickly ran back to her house, as if Er Zhu would strike if she stayed a second longer.
"Thank you, Er Zhu. You saved me again. Are you busy now? Otherwise, I can make you breakfast."
Zhao Qian looked at Er Zhu gratefully and turned to go into the house. However, before she could take a few steps, Er Zhu stopped her.
