âIs there a way to expose those who have been affected by voodoo?â I asked.
Mr. Li turned around and pointed at the busy people with his chin. âThey are preparing the medicine.â
I was relieved.
âThen what are you doing?â I curiously watched him fiddle with those test tubes. He did not often use these western medicine things. His medical skills were more inclined towards metaphysics.
âIâm trying to purify our drinking water. Tan Si said that there are outsiders who have sneaked in. Iâm worried that apart from planting bombs, they will also poison us. If they poison us, they will definitely not use lethal poisons. Instead, they will use voodoo worms and the like to control people. Donât you agree?â Mr. Li raised his head to look at me.
My back was drenched in sweat. I finally understood why I had a very strange feeling when I saw Lin Nan. Moreover, Tong Zhuo said that if Lin Nan explodedâ¦
I understood.
I grabbed Mr. Liâs hand. âMaster, are you sure about this medicine?â
Mr. Li nodded. âYes. Itâs just a little troublesome. I need some time. When Iâm done, you can make the arrangements.â
âMaster, letâs go and see Lin Nan. I feel that thereâs something wrong with Lin Nan.â I was a little anxious, but I didnât know how to express myself.
Mr. Li shook the test tube in his hand and stared at it for a few seconds before nodding. âItâs done!â
He put down the test tube in his hand. âNanxing, get a few people to sprinkle these reagents into the water inlet. There mustnât be any mistakes!â
âAlright!â
I immediately called Xiaoyi and asked him to arrange it.
Mr. Li washed his hands and said, âLetâs go and take a look at the person who is rumored to be poisoned.â
I got someone to bring Lin Hua over as well.
Mr. Li was puzzled. âHeâs still a little weak after having the voodoo removed. Whatâs the use of bringing him along?â
I shook my head. âI donât know. Itâs his sister. What if he can help?â
Mr. Li smiled. âWhen it comes to reading peopleâs minds, I think none of them are as good as you.â
I was stunned. âAm I?â
Mr. Li glanced at me. âYou get sensitive to these things after treading on thin ice for a long time. Itâs not a bad thing.â
I was in a daze and almost sprained my ankle. Mr. Li was quick-witted and grabbed my wrist.
When I came back to my senses, I blamed myself for having poor concentration and being absent-minded.
However, Mr. Li didnât let go of my wrist. His expression changed.
His finger was placed on my pulse.
âWhatâs wrong, Master?â I asked softly.
Could it be that I was poisoned?
I wasnât nervous. Anyway, nothing could poison me to death.
Mr. Li looked at me. The expression on his face was a little difficult to explain. âNanxing, you should be pregnant!â
I shook my hand in shock, and my face turned red. âNonsense! Masterâ¦â
How long has it been? It hasnât even been a month, alright? I havenât even reached the date of my menstrual period. How did he know that I was pregnant?
Mr. Li smiled. âIt hasnât been that long, so I canât be completely sure. But, believe me, it shouldnât be wrong.â
I said stubbornly, âImpossible. How can you make such an arbitrary announcement? Thereâs no scientific basis for this!â
Mr. Li nodded. âYes, thereâs no scientific basis for this, but youâre not someone who can be explained by science.â
I was stunned for a moment. That was true.
Mr. Li laughed. âIf Jing Tian knew about this, Iâm afraid he would be dumbfounded as well. Old Master Jing and Old Madam Jing will be ecstatic.â
