Ye Ling closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the complex emotions within her.

She wouldn’t resort to the worst methods for revenge, but she wasn’t a saint either. She couldn’t forgive those who had harmed her.

Ye Ling walked over to a small tree in the middle of the small world and plucked the small bluish-white fruits from its branches. She put these fruits into a bowl and crushed them.

Then, she gathered some other herbs from the herbal field and mixed them in certain proportions.

After several attempts, Ye Ling finally concocted the three types of medicine she desired.

Due to the addition of the bluish-white fruits, all these medicines were toxic, though to varying degrees.

Among them, the most abundant was a light red powder. This powder was highly volatile, dissolved in water, colorless, and odorless. It had anesthetic and hallucinogenic effects, with toxicity far surpassing that of common sleeping drugs in the real world. Upon entering the human body, it would render certain sensory organs dysfunctional for an extended period.

The other two medicines had special effects. They wouldn’t threaten lives but come with significant side effects.

Ye Ling poured these three medicines into small bottles of different colors.

In the past, she had been ignorant of danger, but now she understood the importance of vigilance. This world concealed too many malicious intentions.

She had to protect herself properly. When the time was right, she would investigate the people who had harmed her and her mother.

Upon returning to the real world, it was already noon. When she woke up, Sun Li brought her a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.

“Eat more, child. Why aren’t you gaining weight?” Sun Li mumbled, her eyes expressing gentleness and care.

Ye Ling smiled. “Auntie Sun, I’ve gained a lot of weight already. If I keep staying here, I’ll turn into a little chubby.”

“It’s good to be a little chubby. Chubbiness brings blessings.”

The two chatted for a while. Seeing Ye Ling finish the chicken soup, Sun Li urged her to rest.

In the evening, the entire family gathered for dinner. Noticing that Min Nan hadn’t returned yet, Ye Ling asked in confusion, ‘Where’s Big Brother Min

Nan?”

“Don’t worry about him. He might be busy with something.” Sun Li finished speaking and then inquired about Ye Ling’s injuries. “Lingling, how are your injuries?”

“I’m fine, Auntie Sun. My injuries aren’t severe. Resting for a few days will be enough.”

“Alright, then don’t wander around for a few days. I’ve already informed Li Bin and the captain of the production team. Since you’re not from our Willow Village and you’re injured now, it’s fine not to go for the time being. By the way, when will the results of the pharmacy administrator election be announced?” Sun Li asked.

Ye Ling pondered for a moment. “It should take a little over two weeks.”

After dinner, Sun Li cleaned up the dishes. It was already past eight o’clock in the evening when Min Nan finally returned. After his return, he and Wan Hai talked for a long time in the room. Ye Ling didn’t know what they talked about, but she guessed it might be related to her.

After Min Nan and Wan Hai finished talking and saw Ye Ling standing across the door, Min Nan fully opened the door and said to Ye Ling, “Come in.”

Ye Ling walked into the room and asked somewhat bashfully, “Big Brother Min Nan, what were you talking about?”

Min Nan and Wan Hai exchanged a glance.

Wan Hai cleared his throat and said, “We’re still talking about your matter. Today, Min Nan went to investigate a bit, and he suspects that the person who attacked you might be Wu De’s mother, Lin Fang.”

Hearing the name Lin Fang, Ye Ling was briefly stunned, and after a moment, many of her doubts were resolved.

Lin Fang indeed had a motive to attack her. After all, from Lin Fang’s perspective, Ye Ling was responsible for Wu De’s imprisonment and Wu Bai’s job loss.

When Wu Bai was the captain of Stone Village, both Lin Fang and Wu De enjoyed various benefits. But because of Ye Ling, the good times for the Wu

family had come to an end.

Ye Ling lowered her head, her gaze turning cold. She reached into her pocket and touched several small bottles.

Seeing that Ye Ling didn’t say anything, Wan Hai thought she might be contemplating what happened yesterday, causing fear and anger. He said,

“Lingling, don’t worry. Min Nan and Dai Wei are already gathering evidence. They’ll make that wicked old woman pay.”

Ye Ling raised her head. The darkness in her eyes had dissipated. She smiled faintly. “Alright, then I’ll trouble Big Brother Min Nan.”

Min Nan sensed that Ye Ling’s demeanor was a bit off, but he also understood that after experiencing something as terrifying as what happened yesterday, emotional fluctuations were normal. Min Nan didn’t delve into it further..
