At last, Zhou Yun had settled down and finally had the time to think about the little girl she had seen that day, who called herself Xing.
She couldn’t understand how the poison developed by her mother would appear in a little girl who was only around ten years of age.
And looking at the spread of the poison, this illness would have been present for almost ten years. So Xing had been poisoned when she was two or three years old?
Who would be so vicious as to do such a thing to a two or three year old girl?
Moreover, if she didn’t receive treatment in time, Xing probably wouldn’t have many days left.
Zhou Yun swiveled her phone, her eyes far away. After a long time, she decided to save the little girl who had blinked and said that she was beautiful.
Zhou Yun didn’t think that her mother had used drugs to harm this Xing ten years ago. That meant that someone must have used her mother’s drugs to harm others, and that person must have had contact with her mother.
Perhaps she could find out from Xing’s surroundings the reason her mother had committed suicide for no reason that year.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun’s thoughts inevitably drifted back to ten years ago.
Back then, her mother was clearly not a weak woman who could be bullied. She had unfathomable martial strength and the ability to cultivate both medicines and poisons. Why did she hide her strength and allow Liu Huan’s beatings and scoldings?
Why did she suddenly take her away from the Zhou family? Why was someone chasing after her? Who were those people? Why did she choose to commit suicide in the end? Why did she get her to leave her master and return to the Zhou family after ten years?
Zhou Yun had to investigate everything.
The phone rang, interrupting Zhou Yun’s thoughts.
It was the person who had previously been entrusted with the investigation of her mother’s suicide. Zhou Yun quickly picked it up and listened to the report.
“You mean, before my mother left, there were four families who infiltrated the Zhou family?” Zhou Yun frowned.
“Yes, and those four families are now the four most powerful families in Jin City,” came the answer.
“What have they come to the Zhou family for? Have you found out?” Zhou Yun asked.
The person on the other end of the phone sighed and said, “We haven’t found anything yet.”
“Divide into four teams and investigate the four families in Jin City. Since they could come to the Zhou family at the same time, they must have the same goal. If we find out what they have in common, we should be able to discover something different.”
“Alright,” the person on the other end of the phone replied.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yun heaved a sigh of relief. She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Then, Zhou Yun picked up a small gadget and pressed the button beside it. The other end of the line rang.
Fu Xing, who had just lay on the bed, saw the item in her hand suddenly light up. She immediately pressed the call button according to what the sister had said and said happily, “Sister, you really contacted me. I’m so happy.”
“Keep your voice down. This is our secret,” said Zhou Yun with a smile.
This was the contact device that Zhou Yun had secretly stuffed into Fu Xing’s hand when she had whispered in Fu Xing’s ear that day.
Since she had a clue, Zhou Yun would not give up any hope.
“Okay, I’ll be quiet,” Fu Xing said in a low voice.
“Do you want me to cure the disease on your face?” Zhou Yun asked.
Fu Xing rolled her big round eyes around; they were filled with anticipation and hope. She couldn’t help but nod and say, “Yes, yes. I’m also like other little girls, beautiful.”
“Then listen to my plan. Every afternoon around three o’clock, come to the mall we met at today to look for me. I will treat you for an hour every day,” Zhou Yun said.
Now that the enemies were all hidden, she could not expose her identity. Therefore, Zhou Yun chose the safest way — let Xing come out and quietly treat her while investigating in secret.
Fu Xing nodded in surprise. “Alright; I’ll listen to you.”
“Also, the fact that I’m treating you is a secret between the two of us. Don’t tell anyone else, understand?” Zhou Yun instructed again.
Those people could force her mother to commit suicide ten years ago. Ten years later, it was hard to guarantee that they would not use some means to besiege her after discovering her.
“Not even Auntie Wu?” Fu Xing looked troubled and said carefully, “Auntie Wu follows me around every day. If I go, Aunt Wu will definitely not leave my side.”
This was a difficult matter. After all, Fu Xing was considered a patient now. The adults at home would not let her disappear for an hour every day.
