Chapter 437: Explained

Jing Tian nodded. “They are crazy. However, people would do anything for money and power. There are too many power-hungry people in the world.”

Jing Tian let out a sigh. “The primitive poison was brought to the modern society. After some improvements, it became forget-me-not as it is known today. It is not the same forget-me-not that poisoned Tong Hui. It is a lot more harmful. There is no antidote.”

“What about the black magic part?” I asked.

Jing Tian shook his head. “Dark magic is part of this poison, and why is it incurable. Modern science can’t resolve dark magic.”

“What about Tong Yan? Why are you and little uncle so cautious around her?” I groused.

Jing Tian was helpless. “Nanxing, I didn’t even know her before this, neither did Tong Le. Honestly, we have no idea how many people Yan Yu had given the surname Tong!”

What a crazy woman! Because she fell in love with a man, she did everything to have his babies. And then she had the children follow the man’s surname, even though the man didn’t want her. What logic was this?

It was one thing if she had raised her children well, but they were all horrible creatures that had come back to haunt the Tong Family.

If this Yan Yu were still alive, I would make her dead!

I looked at Jing Tian, waiting for him to continue.

“Were all of you poisoned with forget-me-not?”

Jing Tian shook his head. “I don’t know. We were separated and tasked with different things. They didn’t let us see each other.”

I nodded. “That is expected. I’ve seen the information of all the kidnapped individuals. You will be too clever if placed in the same room.” I added, “I believe Tong Yan has chosen you alone to poison.”

Jing Tian frowned and then changed the subject, “Nanxing, I believe Tong Yan is here.”

I was surprised. “How did you know?”

Jing Tian smiled wryly. I got it then. It was forget-me-not. Since Tong Yan was the poisoner, the pain on Jing Tian would lessen once she was near.

An idea occurred to me. I patted Jing Tian. “You stay here. I’ll go and meet her.”

Jing Tian wanted to protest.

I said seriously, “It’s okay. I won’t bully her.”

Jing Tian grabbed my hand. “Nanxing, I need to tell you that she is more experienced than you are. Don’t fall for her trick.”

I got up and kissed his forehead. I found Xiao Yi. He asked nervously, “How’s Master Qi?”

I looked at the young man who genuinely cared for us, and I nodded. “He’s fine now. He can endure the pain. He refused to eat the free-spirited grass because he was afraid of getting addicted.”

Xiao Yi looked at me with an apologetic expression.

“Xiao Yi, tell me. Is there a simple way to ease Jing Tian’s pain?”

Xiao Yi looked at me with a serious expression. “Sister Xing, there is. However, it will be difficult.”

I looked at him with joy.

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth. “Sister Xing, I’ll bring some people to kidnap that woman at night. We’ll bring her back with us. With her around, Master Qi will be in less pain.”

My eyes lit up. “Are you serious?”

Xiao Yi nodded. “Yes! Sister Xing, Wait for me!” After saying that, he walked out.

I pulled him back. “There’s no need for that. She should arrive at our doorstep soon.. Your most important task now is to get this woman a passport, or else it’ll be hard to smuggle her back to China with us.”
