Jing Tian nodded. âThey are crazy. However, people would do anything for money and power. There are too many power-hungry people in the world.â
Jing Tian let out a sigh. âThe 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.â
âWhat about the black magic part?â I asked.
Jing Tian shook his head. âDark magic is part of this poison, and why is it incurable. Modern science canât resolve dark magic.â
âWhat about Tong Yan? Why are you and little uncle so cautious around her?â I groused.
Jing Tian was helpless. âNanxing, I didnât even know her before this, neither did Tong Le. Honestly, we have no idea how many people Yan Yu had given the surname Tong!â
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 manâs surname, even though the man didnât 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.
âWere all of you poisoned with forget-me-not?â
Jing Tian shook his head. âI donât know. We were separated and tasked with different things. They didnât let us see each other.â
I nodded. âThat is expected. Iâve seen the information of all the kidnapped individuals. You will be too clever if placed in the same room.â I added, âI believe Tong Yan has chosen you alone to poison.â
Jing Tian frowned and then changed the subject, âNanxing, I believe Tong Yan is here.â
I was surprised. âHow did you know?â
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. âYou stay here. Iâll go and meet her.â
Jing Tian wanted to protest.
I said seriously, âItâs okay. I wonât bully her.â
Jing Tian grabbed my hand. âNanxing, I need to tell you that she is more experienced than you are. Donât fall for her trick.â
I got up and kissed his forehead. I found Xiao Yi. He asked nervously, âHowâs Master Qi?â
I looked at the young man who genuinely cared for us, and I nodded. âHeâs fine now. He can endure the pain. He refused to eat the free-spirited grass because he was afraid of getting addicted.â
Xiao Yi looked at me with an apologetic expression.
âXiao Yi, tell me. Is there a simple way to ease Jing Tianâs pain?â
Xiao Yi looked at me with a serious expression. âSister Xing, there is. However, it will be difficult.â
I looked at him with joy.
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth. âSister Xing, Iâll bring some people to kidnap that woman at night. Weâll bring her back with us. With her around, Master Qi will be in less pain.â
My eyes lit up. âAre you serious?â
Xiao Yi nodded. âYes! Sister Xing, Wait for me!â After saying that, he walked out.
I pulled him back. âThereâs 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 itâll be hard to smuggle her back to China with us.â
