Ning Shu blamed herself a little. She had been busy with the designs so she hadn’t paid much attention to Father Miao. After Tan Heyu had stolen the designs, she had become even more overwhelmed with work.
Ning Shu headed to the hospital to get a lab test done on the medicinal dish to check if the added substance was poisonous.
She sat down on a chair in the corridor to wait for the results.
The fact that Aunt Ping had added this only to Father Miao’s medicinal dish showed clearly that she had been targeting Father Miao. Ning Shu took a deep breath, then started to consider things.
If something happened to Father Miao, who would benefit?
Regardless of whether she was taking into consideration long-term benefits or short-term benefits, the answer was still Zhang Jiasen. Father Miao had been looking into the account books. If something happened to him, the matter with the accounts would be dropped without a sound and for the period following, the company would probably be held up by Zhang Jiasen.
This was pretty similar to the development in the original storyline. This meant that Zhang Jiasen definitely had something to do with Father Miao’s death in the original storyline.
The deaths of the entire Miao family had probably been Zhang Jiasen’s doing.
What a ruthless and malicious wolf.
The lab results showed that the added substance wasn’t poison, but something called diclofenac. It was used to treat pain and inflammatory diseases, but long-term usage would inhibit the blood flow in veins and increase fluid retention, causing blood pressure to rise.
There was quite a lot of it in the medicinal dish as well. Father Miao was susceptible to high pressure from the start, so after eating something like this which interfered with blood flow, if he got angry and his blood started pumping faster, his blood pressure would increase and it would be easy for it to cause a stroke.
And the cause of it wouldn’t be discoverable.
It was no wonder Father Miao seemed so strange that day.
Ning Shu pressed her lips together. How could there exist such a malicious person in the world?
Ning Shu had the doctor print her the form, then drove home. Father Miao and Mother Miao were in the living room waiting for her, so she told them the results of the test.
“Why did you do this?” Mother Miao pointed at Aunt Ping. “How can you be so malicious? You were trying to commit murder!”
Father Miao rubbed his chest with an expression of lingering fear, then he looked towards Aunt Ping sternly and gave a cold laugh. “We sure raised something. Aunt Ping, I even paid for your son’s college tuition, but this is how you repay me?”
Aunt Ping’s face was deathly pale and she bit her lips hard without saying anything. Ning Shu said faintly, “There’s nothing to talk about with someone as ungrateful as this. Call the police, they can investigate.”
