Chapter 1976: Treatment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gao Lin brought Qiao Mei deep into the mountains. Inside a cave, the Gao family had built a secret passage that led directly to the basement of the Gao family’s house.

“l never expect such a place to exist,” Qiao Mei said in shock.

“Back then, the first thing that the Gao family did when we moved here was to build a secret passage. This is so that in the event that the Gao family is ever framed or in trouble, all the Gao family members can escape safely. We’ve never had to use it though. Later on, it became a place where Gao Ming played many games of hide and seek,” Gao Lin explained.

He had never expected the secret passage to come into use due to the Zhang family. Fortunately, Gao Ming had never told Zhang Yao about this place.

Otherwise, Zhang Ping would already be here, demanding for an explanation!

When Qiao Mei emerged from the basement, she saw that the villa’s living hall was completely empty. There was not even a sofa. Everything in the house had already been sold, all except for the three men’s beds.

“It’s so embarrassing for you to see this. All these years, I’ve spent all the money on the Gao family’s business and Gao Longs treatment. Now, there’s also Gao Mings treatment. Sigh…” Gao Lin said with a sigh.

“It’s fine. We’ll slowly get all our things back,” Qiao Mei said firmly as she looked at Gao Lin.

“Yes, we’ll get everything back. Let’s go and take a look at Gao Ming first,” Gao Lin said with a smile.

The two of them went to Gao Mings room. Gao Long was in the room as well. After returning home from the hospital, Gao Ming looked worse for wear now, as if he would shatter with a light touch.

“You’re here! Come and take a look at Gao Ming! He hasn’t been looking too good for the past two days,” Gao Long said worriedly.

Qiao Mei went forward and held Gao Mings wrist. She quickly activated her

X-ray vision and the butterfly on her chest burned slightly hot. Soon, Qiao Mei finished checking Gao Mings entire body and found that he did not have any other illnesses. Either the Zhang family did not attack Gao Ming with the intent to kill him or Gao Ming was just lucky enough not to be fatally injured.

However, there was a big amount of turbid air in Gao Mings chest. It was probably the energy from the cufflink that was causing Gao Mings body to weaken day by day. Qiao Mei did not know that this form of energy could also work as a weapon.

Seeing that Qiao Mei did not say anything, Gao Long immediately asked, “Is it very serious?”

“It’s indeed quite serious, but it’s not too bad. He can still be saved, but he needs someone to stay here and take care of him for the next few days. The person can’t leave his side at all,” Qiao Mei said.

“Alright! I’ll go and make the arrangements! Let me know what you need and I’ll go get it for you,” Gao Lin asked.

“There’s no need. I’ve brought what I need.” Qiao Mei took out a small pill and continued, “This is a ‘divine medicine’ passed down in my family. It can cure all kinds of poisons. If both of you trust me, I’ll feed it to him.”

If this was in the past, Gao Lin would definitely think of her as a liar for saying that something can “cure all poisons” or “cure all illnesses”. However, the person standing in front of him now was his elder sister’s descendant. Other than trusting Qiao Mei, Gao Lin had no other way out. He believed that Qiao Mei would not hurt Gao Ming.

“l trust you! Give it to him!” Gao Lin said.

Qiao Mei pried open Gao Mings mouth and pushed the pill down his throat. At first, there was no reaction and everyone waited anxiously. Suddenly, Gao Ming began to cough up blood and in an instant, the entire bed was already covered in Gao Mings blood.

“Gao Ming!” Gao Lin and Gao Long yelled out agitatedly. They tried to wipe away the blood that Gao Ming spat out.

“What’s going on! Does your medicine even work?” Gao Long looked at Qiao Mei and roared at her.

“This is a normal phenomenon. Gao Ming is poisoned. He can only recover if he expels all the poison,” Qiao Mei said calmly.

“Then… then how long is he going to cough like this! If he continues coughing like this, he will bleed to death!” Gao Long said with heartache.

“No, he won’t. Let’s wait a little longer,” Qiao Mei said.

Not long after Qiao Mei said this, Gao Ming went quiet and his face looked much rosier. It seemed that Qiao Mei’s medicine was quite effective.

Gao Lin hurriedly changed Gao Mings bedsheets and blanket. Then, he carefully wiped Gao Mings body clean. Gao Long sat at the side and watched everything quietly. After hesitating for a while, he went over to Qiao Mei.

“I’m sorry. 1 was a little agitated just now and I was rude to you,” Gao Long said.

“It’s alright, Uncle. We’re all concerned for Gao Ming. I won’t take it to heart,” Qiao Mei said with a smile..
