Tong Bin believed that Shi Man must have her motives for doing this!

But he could not offend Chu Yue yet.

He pondered for a moment and raised his hand to let her sit on the sofa first. Then, he continued, “Instructor Chu, 1’11 have to trouble you to help me detoxify the poison. As for who poisoned me, I’ll definitely investigate this matter carefully.”

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Til definitely help investigate. Perhaps some despicable person stole my silver needles when 1 wasn’t paying attention.”

Tong Bin sized her up, and a fleeting mocking expression flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it. “Instructor Chu, tell me what medicinal herbs are needed to detoxify the poison. I’ll get someone to prepare them now.”

“No need. I brought it with me.” She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag, unscrewed the cap, and poured out a tiny pill for him. “Take this and your leg injury will be fine.”

When she created this poison back then, she didn’t think of taking someone’s life with it. It was just meant to make it difficult for them to move for a short period of time.

Moreover, poison that could kill in an instant was not so easy to concoct. She had only roughly learned a little about medicine. She was already very satisfied with her current results and had no intention of studying it painstakingly.

After Tong Bin took the medicine, the pain in the wound on his leg immediately eased a lot. After a while, the bruises on the wound also subsided visibly. It could be seen that the poison was not very powerful.

He knew that Shi Man had no intention of killing him, so ever since he knew her goal, Tong Bin was not too worried about his wound. Instead, he was more interested in the story behind the silver needles.

After the banquet ended, Tong Bin and Tong Su returned to their villa. Mrs. Tong had been waiting in the living room worriedly. Seeing that the two of them were safe, tears rolled down her face again.

In just a few days, her mother had cried countless times for this family.

Tong Su’s heart ached when she saw this. She personally helped her mother sit on the sofa and told her what had happened in detail so that she could be at ease.

Mrs. Tong was a little confused when she heard this. She couldn’t help but look at her husband in confusion. “Hubby, so what’s Shi Man’s motive for poisoning you?”

Tong Bin paused and patted his leg habitually. “I guess she wants to hint at something very important to me, but 1 can’t be sure yet. I’ll have to ask her personally after school starts.”

Tong Su knew Shi Man far better than Tong Bin. She clenched her fingers hesitantly and interrupted with a conflicted expression, “Father, I don’t think Shi Man really wants to harm you. With her ability, if she really wanted to poison you, she would have done it long ago. Moreover, she clearly said that Chu Yue can cure this poison.”

Tong Bin thought so too. He nodded and then realized something. He glanced at her in surprise. “You seem to be very sure of her strength now?”

Tong Su blushed and lowered her head in her unwillingness to let her father notice the strange expression on her face. “I’ve fought with her so many times, but 1 can’t do anything to her. She’s indeed very different from the other girls in the military school.”

Tong Bin did not suspect anything. He heaved a long sigh of relief and returned to his room to rest with Mother Tong’s help.

Seeing her parents leave the living room, Tong Su carefully took out her phone and searched for Shi Man’s contact number. After hesitating for a while, she typed a message. “My father’s poison has been cured. What’s your goal?”

Shi Man’s thoughts were too difficult to guess. Tong Su decided not to guess and asked Shi Man directly.

She had a feeling that this might suit Shi Man better.

As expected, not long after she sent the message, she received a reply.

Tong Su quickly came back to her senses and looked at the phone screen impatiently. There was only a short line of words on it. “Did Chu Yue tell you how 1 got that needle?”

Tong Su pursed her lips and replied, “She didn’t say. Can you tell me?”

This time, she held her cell phone and waited in panic for a long time before finally receiving Shi Man’s reply.

“She fought with me and lost to me. Chief Lu was also there.”

The moment she saw the words, Tong Su’s pupils dilated. The series of questions in her heart seemed to have been explained in an instant. “It’s because you beat Chu Yue that Chief Lu insisted on letting you be his student, right?”

“Yes,” Shi Man replied simply before throwing away her cell phone and continuing to eat with Shen Xian, leaving Tong Su feeling uneasy.

It turned out that even Chu Yue was not Shi Man’s match, but the other party refused to tell her about this for the sake of her face and even used her to let her deal with Shi Man.

Chu Yue clearly knew about her tricks, but she still asked her to do it.

In Chu Yue’s heart, she was probably just a chess piece.

Her disappointment was greater than shock. Tong Su slowly gripped her cell phone tightly, her eyes filled with determination.

Since Shi Man would definitely become a student of Lu jun, couldn’t she change sides and use this opportunity to make Lu Jun take her in as a student?

She did not need to rely on a selfish and vain woman like Chu Yue anymore!
