Li Xuelan and He Yunlai exchanged a glance.

Li Xuelan: "Why do I find it hard to believe that Nan Qiao could humble herself like this?"

He Yunlai: "It's not just you; even I don't believe it. Didn't the Bai Family treat Nan Qiao well? How could they let their daughter be bullied by Li Yehan?"

Li Xuelan: "Maybe it's because the Bai Family is inferior to the Li Family; Bai Zhenyang and the others can only put on a brave front."

"Xuelan, you're absolutely right. It must be because of this that Nan Qiao is so humble. It seems Li Yehan is really unyielding, showing no respect for anyone!"

The two of them let out heavy sighs, neither wanting to speak anymore.

...

Nan Qiao, once outside the door, dropped her pretended emotions.

She held her phone and made a call to Li Yehan.

"Want to eat fish and meat? Want to have your cake and eat it too?"

Li Yehan's voice was very gentle, laughing as he spoke: "Whatever my wife does, I do. If my wife doesn't do it, I go hungry, absolutely no complaints."

The man who had just been so arrogant now lowered his guard, seducing in a low voice.

"Qiaoqiao, just now was an act. Secretary Zhao told me you were having a meal with them. I called you to let them know you aren't in charge, to discourage any thoughts they have about you."

"I understand, I'm not upset with you, don't worry." She was acting just then too.

Li Xuelan and He Yunlai were difficult people, and since they were the old man's closest relatives, Nan Qiao couldn't openly confront them.

For now, she would just muddle through, leaving everything to Li Yehan to handle, without her needing to worry or ask anything.

...

Nan Qiao had just arrived at the school entrance and received a call from Nan Shan.

"Master, there's something I want to tell you. Where are you? I'll come find you."

Nan Qiao was quite surprised that Nan Shan would look for her at this time. Could it be about the shovel incident?

"I'm at the school entrance. How about this, let's meet at the nearby café, I'll send you the address."

"Okay, Master, I'll come to you, just wait for me there and don't go anywhere."

"Okay."

Nan Qiao hung up the phone and walked to the café.

...

Nan Shan arrived at the café and immediately saw Nan Qiao sitting by the window.

She was wearing a mint green sweater, her hair falling softly, adding a hint of allure to her gentle demeanor.

Sitting by the window, she was a beautiful scenery in herself, Nan Shan couldn't bear to ruin this lovely picture.

Yet words had to be said, he finally walked over and sat opposite Nan Qiao.

"Nan Shan, what brings you to me?"

"Master, did you come to my house that day to look for fight marks in the garden? You don't need to investigate further; I chose to confess voluntarily."

Nan Qiao laughed aloud; Nan Shan was too cute, willing to confess to her of his own accord.

There wasn't so much dodging between them, which actually pleased Nan Qiao.

"To be honest, I did go over to investigate this. Was it you who poisoned with Qian He Poison? She paid a steep price to find me to cure her, spending twenty million, and I took the job."

"Master, could you not save her? She's with those people from the lab. She came to find me, intending to kill me."

"What!" Nan Qiao was shocked.

How could such a thing happen!

Nan Qiao never thought that those people were connected to the lab.

"I should have asked you earlier." Nan Qiao regretted.

Initially, she just suspected and didn't dare ask direct questions. If only she had asked earlier!

"Master, don't blame yourself. You can save her, earn the twenty million first." Nan Shan grinned mischievously.

Nan Qiao suddenly understood and laughed along: "You're right, who wouldn't want money? Earn the twenty million first, and then deal with other matters once it's in our hands."

It's possible to make money and poison at the same time.

"As expected of Master, always thorough in thinking." Nan Shan poured water for Nan Qiao.

The relationship between master and disciple returned to its former state, with no resentment due to these incidents.

Nan Qiao took a sip of water, thinking of an important question: "When she went to your house, on what day, at what time?"

Nan Shan gave the precise time and described Sister Ling's appearance on that night as best as he could to Nan Qiao.

After listening, Nan Qiao raised her hand to slap the table but held back just in time.

Hmm, she couldn't lose her temper.

"It seems the thug who came to our house that night was this very person!"

Fortunately, Liu Feng was sharp, and thankfully, her shooting was accurate, injuring this person.

Tomorrow she'll go over and check the situation to confirm who it was.

"Master, let me go with you, I can protect you."

"No need, if you go with me, they'll definitely suspect something. This time, I'll still take Si Yu and Houzi, just the three of us as usual."

Nan Shan was anxious, trying hard to persuade Nan Qiao, but she refused firmly, so he had no choice but to agree.

Nan Qiao's reasoning was sound; changing people rashly, especially to someone as familiar as Nan Shan, would likely backfire.

Nan Shan said: "Master, I'm sorry. I didn't intend to hide anything from you. I won't use Qian He Poison again."

"Nan Shan, you don't need to apologize. Qian He Poison suits her, you did it to protect yourself. Life is most important; everything else is just a mirage."

Nan Qiao's gentle voice soothed Nan Shan's unease, affirming him and giving him relief.

No matter what, as long as Master agreed, he was doing the right thing!

Everything Master said was right, Nan Shan believed without a doubt.

...

Soon enough, Sister Ling contacted Nan Qiao again to inform her that the needed herbs were ready.

Hou Ze got the herbs first and handed them over to Huo Siyu.

Huo Siyu roamed half the city, eventually delivering the goods to Nan Qiao.

"Qiaoqiao, I checked them, these herbs are indeed rare and excellent. This person has really spent a fortune; her life must be very valuable!"

With a grand gesture, twenty million was gone.

With another wave, five million was gone.

All in all, twenty-five million ended up in Nan Qiao's pocket.

"Twenty million, they only gave a five million deposit, and there's another ten million for this time. Once confirmed, they'll give the remaining five million." Nan Qiao explained.

"Qiaoqiao, hearing you say this, it seems you have other plans?"

"Yes, I do have other plans."

Nan Qiao elaborated her scheme to Huo Siyu.

After listening, Huo Siyu clapped and cheered.

Once the laughter subsided, concern arose.

"Qiaoqiao, won't this ruin your reputation?"

"Not quite, as long as I deny any knowledge and claim I didn't do it, who can find fault? My identity is kept secret, and no one has seen my true face. They want revenge, but they have to find the target first, right?"

Huo Siyu found it very reasonable and praised Nan Qiao's cleverness once more.

"Then let's go ahead with this. I'll go back and prepare, waiting for your orders."

Huo Siyu took up her car keys and left, eagerly preparing for a big move!

Meanwhile, on Sister Ling's end, preparations for a major action were underway too.

She was instructing her subordinates to get ready.

In a commanding tone, Sister Ling addressed the crowd: "How's the ambush going? Were the weapons distributed? No followers of the Ghost Doctor are allowed this time; I only want her alone inside!"
