"Click!"
Just as Zheng Lao Wu was about to spout more nonsense, Zhao Qian, as if a lightbulb had gone off, flashed a cold bracelet onto Zheng Lao Wu's wrist with a reverse grip.
"Officer Zhao, why are you arresting me? You should be arresting Er Zhu, he's kidnapping women!"
Zheng Lao Wu hadn't quite realized what was happening. He glanced at Zhao Qian from the corner of his eye and cried out indignantly.
"Zheng Lao Wu, do you really think I, Zhao Qian, am an idiot? You want to harass Li Mei after I arrest Er Zhu?"
Zhao Qian frowned tightly. Chen Xiao Zhu's injured foot, combined with Li Mei's recent words, made her see the light. She finally understood how foolish she had been!
"No, Officer Zhao, I'm a law-abiding citizen! You can't treat me like this!"
Upon hearing Zhao Qian's words, Zheng Lao Wu's eyes were filled with shock and fear. He had originally intended for Er Zhu to go to jail, but he never expected to be the one going to jail himself!
"Officer Zhao, with your intelligence, you shouldn't be a police officer."
Just as Zhao Qian was about to escort Zheng Lao Wu away, Chen Xiao Zhu, from the balcony, seemed to have guessed something and sneered disdainfully.
"I'm sorry, Er Zhu, this is all my fault!"
Zhao Qian shot Chen Xiao Zhu an angry glance. Though she was furious, she knew Chen Xiao Zhu was speaking the truth. She didn't retort but respectfully saluted Er Zhu, her eyes filled with regret.
"Get lost!"
Er Zhu truly couldn't be bothered to say another word to Zhao Qian. He turned away and waved his hand impatiently.
"Tsk, no wonder they transferred you to our village. Your capabilities are really lacking."
"That's right, you were almost used as a pawn by an old bachelor. You're really bringing shame to the police force!"
"Sigh, it's best not to bother her with anything in the future. Her intelligence is too low!"
...
The onlookers, the villagers, also glanced at Zhao Qian as if she were an idiot. They mocked her as they slowly dispersed. Zhao Qian's face turned red. She wanted to retort, but for a moment, she didn't know how.
Because what the villagers were saying was the truth!
"Let's go!"
Zhao Qian shouted loudly and dragged Zheng Lao Wu out the door by his collar. She had already decided to punish Zheng Lao Wu severely!
This guy had made her lose so much face!
Zheng Lao Wu's legs went weak with fear. He even forgot to struggle and let Zhao Qian drag him forward. At this moment, he was filled with regret!
As Zhao Qian left, the crowd of onlookers also went home. The previously lively courtyard had returned to its usual quiet. Er Zhu was so speechless he didn't know how to react. He even thought about asking Zhang Qiang to have Zhao Qian transferred away.
Of course, this was just a thought. Although he had some connections with the police station, he wasn't in the same system, and his influence wouldn't extend that far.
"I'm sorry, Er Zhu, for causing you trouble."
Looking at Li Mei's still furious eyes, and recalling everything that had just happened, Chen Xiao Zhu nodded slightly, feeling very apologetic.
She was too conspicuous in this small mountain village. She suddenly felt that perhaps she shouldn't have come here...
"It's alright, it's all just small matters. I'll go take a look at that hundred-year-old purple Ganoderma."
Seeing Chen Xiao Zhu's eyes reddening, Er Zhu waved his hand dismissively and walked towards the backyard as he spoke.
Gazing at Er Zhu's retreating figure and recalling everything that had just happened, a faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao Zhu's lips.
Calm and collected in the face of adversity, generous and sincere towards others – this was the ideal partner image in her heart!
Chen Xiao Zhu gripped the railing of the balcony tightly, looking thoughtfully in the direction Er Zhu had left, unwilling to move for a long time...
At this moment, Er Zhu had already divided the hundred-year-old purple Ganoderma into two halves. One half he buried in the ground, and the other half he rolled into pills.
Logically, even half of the purple Ganoderma would not survive if planted in the ground. But because he had the magical medicinal fertilizer, let alone half, even a piece the size of a grain of rice could survive!
Moreover, after half a year, its medicinal properties would be equivalent to that of a hundred-year-old purple Ganoderma, or even better!
And this was one of the reasons why Er Zhu was willing to give the hundred-year-old purple Ganoderma to Chen Xiao Zhu for free.
After Er Zhu's treatment, within a week, the poison in Chen Xiao Zhu's body was completely cleared, and her physical condition was even better than before!
"Thank you, Er Zhu. This bank card contains fifty million, consider it my consultation fee. You must accept it!"
Standing at the door, just as Chen Xiao Zhu was about to get into the car, she suddenly remembered something. She said this while pressing a gold card into Er Zhu's hand.
"If you consider me a friend, please don't refuse. I'm leaving now. If you need anything in the future, just ask, and I'll do my best to help!"
Perhaps fearing that Er Zhu would refuse, before Er Zhu could react, Chen Xiao Zhu got into the car. By the time Er Zhu reacted, he could only hear Chen Xiao Zhu's familiar voice.
Just after seeing Chen Xiao Zhu off, Er Zhu was about to head back when suddenly Elder Wang's car stopped in front of his house.
"Elder Wang, what is it this time?"
Seeing Elder Wang, Er Zhu assumed Elder Wang was asking him for help to save someone again.
"I'm not here to ask for your help. I came to see Miss Chen. I wonder if there's anything I can help with."
Hearing Er Zhu's question, Elder Wang immediately reacted. His face turned red with shame, and he quickly denied it.
Elder Wang suddenly felt that his so-called renowned doctor was like a novice student in front of Er Zhu!
This feeling was truly too awkward!
"Xiao Zhu has already recovered and has gone home."
As soon as Elder Wang finished speaking, Er Zhu pointed in the direction Chen Xiao Zhu had left and said calmly.
"What? That strange poison was solved so quickly?"
Hearing this, Elder Wang's eyes nearly bulged out. His eyes were filled with shock.
He couldn't even detect the poison that Chen Xiao Zhu had contracted, yet Er Zhu had resolved it so easily?
He knew there was a big gap between him and Er Zhu, but he never expected it to be this big!
"Yeah, it's alright. Just a mixture of several potent poisons. Nothing major."
Facing the extremely shocked Elder Wang, Er Zhu appeared much calmer, as if Chen Xiao Zhu hadn't been poisoned but just had a common headache or cold.
"A mixture of several potent poisons?"
Hearing Er Zhu's words, Elder Wang's eyes widened even further. His eyes were filled with shock and admiration.
Let alone several potent poisons, even one would have taken him years to treat. If he had tried to detoxify Chen Xiao Zhu, she would have died from the poison long ago!
"Er Zhu, your medical skills are becoming more and more exquisite. You are simply a miracle in medical history!"
After several minutes, Elder Wang finally calmed down. He opened the door for Er Zhu while giving him a thumbs-up, his eyes filled with admiration and worship.
"Elder Wang, you jest. I'm just a country bumpkin."
Er Zhu felt a bit embarrassed by Elder Wang's praise. He scratched the back of his head and revealed his simple, honest smile again.
