Chapter 835: Do Your Job Well
The two doctors from the Central Hospital had come to Rose Castle. They made a thorough examination of the water lily. Shen Qianshu asked, “Do you suspect that something is wrong with the flower?”
“Uh huh.”
Tong Hua said, “I picked this flower on my own.”
“This means that there is room for your taste to improve. Also, you have bad luck.”
Tong Hua was speechless.
How maddening!!!
He was being despised again.
The doctor did a thorough investigation and concluded. “Master, there is nothing wrong with this flower. It is a normally grown water lily. There is nothing poisonous about its scent as well.”
“Non-poisonous?”
“Right. Non-poisonous.”
Shen Qianshu sighed in relief. This water lily has been in the Gu Manor for over two decades. Why would it be poisonous? If it was, the people in the Gu Manor would not have survived.
Shen Qianshu suddenly widened her eyes.
“Hold on.”
“Miss Shen, what’s up?”
“Do we still have Tong Hua’s blood sample?” Shen Qianshu suddenly said. “Combine the scent with the harmful substances in Tong Hua’s body and see what reaction occurs. See if you might discover something else.”
“Yes. But this might take some time.”
“Don’t worry. No hurry.”
After the doctor left, Tong Hua asked, “Mommy, do you suspect that this scent forms a reaction with the harmful substances in my body?”
“Your grandmother has been in a coma for over two decades, yet she stayed alive. What if she wasn’t in a coma in the same way as the others?” Shen Qianshu’s gaze darkened, and she grabbed Ye Ling by the hand. “Master, think about it. Since Doctor Yang said that Second Brother wanted to protect me back then, the harmful substances in Tong Hua’s body definitely have nothing to do with him. Could it be Black Rose? I remember Black Rose had said before that she could make my mother wake up. My dad had spent so much labor, money, and effort to wake her up, but all to no avail. Why was Black Rose so sure that she could? If my mother had the same harmful substance in her as Tong Hua, then all of this would make sense.”
“I got it too,” Ye Ling said calmly.
Tong Hua said, “But whenever I visit the Gu Manor, I’d play around the water lily pond. Young Uncle gave me a water lily as a gift once, too.”
Now that doesn’t seem to make sense.
Shen Qianshu paced around the room. “Wait for the results.”
She was only suspecting it. After all, they did not have any evidence, and they needed the results to support this prediction. Furthermore, they could not act rashly and alert the enemy. If she could make her mother wake up, all the truths might be uncovered.
Ye Ling and the hatred with Ghost City would also be gone.
In Black Rose’s monitoring room.
Black Rose squinted. She looked at the scene in the garden. The mini fly-drone could not get too close to them, so she could not tell what they were doing. She only knew that two doctors had left. Yang Lihua’s eyes lit up, and she wanted to switch the surveillance cameras, but she did not manage to.
Ye Ling, Shen Qianshu, and the others entered the castle. Black Rose ordered for someone to bring the surveillance cameras closer to the greenhouse and lock its target on a water lily.
Black Rose’s face changed. “Investigate this in the hospital privately and send someone to mess up the results. We cannot let them notice that there’s something wrong with the flower.”
“Yes!”
Yang Lihua asked, “Do you intend to continue controlling Fang Hongxiu like that and not let her wake up?”
“What good is there if she wakes up? There’d just be blood shed.”
“This thing has nothing to do with Qianshu,” Yang Lihua said.
“I never thought that you would pity Shen Qianshu.”
“She raised my son up, and I am grateful for that,” Yang Lihua said. “It’s time for you to draw the line.”
Black Rose slapped Yang Lihua on her face. “I don’t need you to tell me what to do. You just have to do your job well.”
