Shen Tong carefully administered the ointment to Lin Mingchang's mouth in several doses until the small bottle was completely emptied. She noticed Lin Mingchang's breathing began to stabilize, and his complexion gradually regained some color. Finally, she felt a sense of relief wash over her as she reached out to hold Lin Mingchang's hand, her eyes slightly moistening.
Gu Master Granny did not rush up the mountain; instead, she waited until dawn the next day to check on Lin Mingchang's condition once more. His breathing had evened out, and the blackness around his wound had receded significantly, with the purplish-black markings fading considerably. Turning to the others, Gu Master Granny announced, "The poison has been resolved; he is out of danger."
Hearing this, everyone let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked the old woman, grateful that she had saved their friend's life. Gu Master Granny waved her hand dismissively and sighed, "As a Gu Master, I use poison as medicine, emphasizing the balance of yin and yang rather than harming lives. Our Miao people's Gu Poisoning Art was originally a technique passed down by our ancestors for healing. However, in recent years, some have misused this traditional art to create lethal Gu poisons, which is truly outrageous."
She patted Shen Tong's hand gently. "You young people must be extremely cautious." After saying this, Gu Master Granny cast one last glance at Shen Tong's unique Right Eye before turning and disappearing down the mountain path.
Just as the four of them finished seeing off Gu Master Granny, they heard hurried footsteps outside. Moments later, Zheng Jianfei rushed in, his clothes soaked with sweat. He had gone to the inn that day and learned from the innkeeper that Lin Mingchang and the others had followed Miao Qing the previous day and had not returned for a day and night. This prompted his urgent search.
"What happened to you all?" Zheng Jianfei leaned on his knees, panting heavily as he stood in Miao Qing's entrance hall. "Did I not tell you not to enter Miao Village? Why didn’t you listen? I thought something happened to you!"
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the room and suddenly landed on Lin Mingchang lying pale on the wooden couch. His expression changed dramatically. "What happened to him? How did he end up like this?"
Fang Zigui briefly explained about the ambush they faced last night and how Lin Mingchang had accidentally been poisoned. The more Zheng Jianfei listened, the graver his expression became. "I knew this would happen! I warned you all..."
Shen Tong scrutinized Zheng Jianfei’s expression and furrowed her brows as she looked directly at him. "Officer Zheng, are you hiding something from us?"
Zheng Jianfei paced back and forth in frustration before finally sitting down in a rattan chair with a resigned sigh. "Actually, I already found out that those three deaths are related to Long Tianming. But this case involves Gu Poison and is extremely dangerous. I didn’t want you clueless outsiders getting involved in this mess because I was worried your actions would alert those involved... So I thought..."
He slammed his fist on the nearby table in frustration. "Who knew you wouldn’t listen and still came to Miao Village? You even contacted Long Tianming without permission!"
"Wait," Xiaoshuang said, her expression one of surprise. "Are you saying that you already knew the killer was Long Tianming? Then why didn't you tell us?"
Zheng Jianfei glanced uneasily at the others. "Because this case is not just a murder case; the situation is far more serious than you can imagine."
He cast a wary glance at the door, and Miao Qing immediately understood, hurrying over to close it and checking the outside windows.
Zheng Jianfei lowered his voice. "In fact, Long Tianming's Golden Money Bee Project has a much more sinister purpose than beekeeping. It’s actually about using the toxins from the Golden Money Bee to develop new biological weapons, which he plans to sell to foreigners for huge profits."
