Sure enough, Shi Man said the answer he had guessed right on the heels of that.

“Poisoned.”

But what kind of poison could exist in the body for two years without being diagnosed by a doctor?

Old Master Huo was puzzled and could only look at Shi Man in confusion. “Manman, since you can tell, do you also cure this poison?”

“Sure,” Shi Man replied firmly.

She was not a famous doctor who could cure illnesses. The reason why she knew how to cure this poison was all because she had been deeply harmed in her previous life. Prolonged sickness made a doctor out of a patient and she had seen many dirty things in the darkness. Gradually, she understood many ways to cure poisons.

As she spoke, she took out silver needles from her bag.

Old Master Huo was shocked. His hesitant gaze darted back and forth between Yi Zheng and her. In the end, he probed uncertainly, “You actually came this time to treat Ah Ning’s illness, right?”

Yi Zheng nodded and said, “I told Manman about the Sui family looking for Jiang Huan at the banquet last time, so she suggested trying it herself to see if she could treat Ah Ning’s illness.”

Elder Huo’s eyes were filled with shock.

He had long used his ident.i.ty to inquire about Shi Man.

He knew that she was skilled and could even gain the favor of Lu Jun.

He also knew that she was a capable girl. She was able to gain a foothold in the army at such a young age and had even completed a very dangerous mission.

However, he had never heard that Shi Man was actually a divine doctor!

As if seeing the disbelief in his eyes, Shi Man stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Old Master Huo. “The poison in Miss Huo’s body is called hallucinogenic powder. Once this poison enters the body, it will paralyze the brain, making the central system unable to give orders to various parts of the body as usual. Therefore, the person who is poisoned will quickly be paralyzed. Then, her internal organs will gradually lose control, but it won’t take her life.”

This poison allowed the inflicted to live and it was the same as the heat poison that Yi Zheng had been poisoned with back then. However, it was used to keep people alive to slowly torture them.

Most people who could use such poison were ruthless. They either had a deep conflict of interest with the person involved or hated the person to the core.

Huo Ning was still young when she was poisoned. She did not have any enemies who could hate her to this extent.

Therefore, at the end of the day, they still had to investigate from Old Master Huo.

Hearing this, Old Master Huo almost swayed to the point of losing his balance. After a long time, his face turned pale and his lips trembled as he said, “Yes, who wanted to harm my granddaughter like this?”

Shi Man frowned and told him her guess. “Old Master Huo, as far as 1 know, Huo Ning’s parents pa.s.sed away when she was very young. She’s your only granddaughter. If she wasn’t poisoned, the burden of the Huo family would definitely fall on her shoulders in the future.”

Elder Huo sighed deeply and fell back onto the sofa in a daze. “I didn’t take good care of her and let her be harmed to this extent. All Ning has been very smart since she was young. She’s good at being a strong woman. I’ve always had high hopes for her.”

“But now, the Huo family’s company is actually handed over to Huo Liang, the young cousin of the Huo family.” As Shi Man disinfected the silver needles, she casually mentioned this person’s name.

Elder Huo nodded heavily and said, “I watched Huo Liang grow up.”

At this point, Old Master Huo looked up in disbelief. “Manman, are you suspecting that Huo Liang was behind the entire incident?”

Shi Man said extremely honestly, “Old Master Huo, don’t be agitated. I’m just guessing. After all, I don’t know Young Master Huo very well. I just think that he’s the biggest beneficiary of Huo Ning’s poisoning, so I’m reasonably suspicious. If you think it’s impossible for him to have done it, pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“No.” Old Huo had also experienced all kinds of devious methods used by his family members to fight for power.

He had lived for so long and would not naively believe Huo Liang. It was just that he had always thought that Huo Ning was just sick and had never considered that she could be poisoned.

Now that he thought about it, Huo Liang was indeed the most suspicious.

At the thought of this, Old Master Huo’s expression darkened. “This kind of poison is rare. Go and find out if Huo Liang has any channels to come into contact with this medicine.”

The butler understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately followed his instructions.

Shi Man lowered her eyes and continued to fiddle with the silver needles in her hand.

Old Master Huo was still a little worried. “Manman, are you really confident that you can cure this poison?”

“If you don’t believe me, 1 can pack up and go back now.” Shi Man had a calm smile on her face, making one feel at ease.

Hearing this, Old Master Huo couldn’t help but laugh from the bottom of his heart. He shook his head helplessly and said, “Forget it, I believe you. Manman, treat her as much as you want. If you can really treat All Ning’s illness, I’m willing to agree to anything you want.”

This was what Shi Man wanted. She raised her eyebrows in satisfaction and said, “Then I’ll start. However, 1 have to say in advance that this poison is not easy to detoxify. After I administer the acupuncture, she has to take the medicine on time for a month. Otherwise, it will still be not be effective..”
