After breakfast, Chi Lingyan still had to go on patrol. Before he left, he thought of how his daughter had agreed to cure Fang Qingyang of the corpse poison. Chi Lingyan was more worried about his daughter’s health, and couldn’t help but say, “Yan Yan, you don’t have to worry about Fang Qingyang.
‘Whether I’m promoted or not, you don’t have to worry about it. Speaking of which, I might not necessarily have his position even if Fang Qingyang didn’t steal my credit. The main reason he can hold that position is because of the Fang family. I’m still young, so there’s no hurry. I also want to be promoted
based on my own capability. As for helping cure Fang Qingyang of the corpse poison, it’s better for you to take a few days to recover!”
On the side, Wei Xiao couldn’t help but say, “Old Chi, what are you saying? If Fang Qingyang hadn’t taken your credit back then, no matter what support the Fang family gave him, he wouldn’t have been able to move up. That position should have been yours!”
At that moment, Qi Zhenbai, “Dad, listen to Commander Wei. We don’t falsely take someone else’s credit, but there’s no reason to push our own credit away!”
Chi Shuyan also spoke up. “Dad, what Zhenbai and Uncle Wei said is very reasonable. As for helping Fang Qingyang get rid of the corpse poison, don’t worry. I feel pretty good now. Helping Fang Qingyang get rid of the corpse poison is just a small matter!”
Seeing her father look at her, Chi Shuyan subconsciously felt a little guilty for lying to her father earlier. She was just worried that her father was too honest. The Fang family hadn’t promised anything in return, yet her father agreed to let her expel the corpse poison for Fang Qingyang! It was fine if the
two families were on good terms, but the Fang family, especially Fang Qingyang, had caused a lot of trouble for her father in the past. It would be a waste for her to agree to help them. On the surface, however, she said, “Dad, actually, I still have one last talisman for expelling the corpse poison. I don’t
need to exhaust my energy to force out the corpse poison for Fang Qingyang!”
Chi Lingyan was honest by nature, and he could see a lot of things very clearly. It was just that he didn’t like to point them out and embarrass people. How could he not know what his daughter was thinking? He sighed in his heart, but also heaved a sigh of relief at Yan Yan’s character. He wouldn’t have to
worry about this child being bullied in the future.
Qi Zhenbai also helped his wife out at that moment and changed the topic to the two people infected with corpse poison whom they had caught last night. Chi Lingyan had led his men on patrol for the whole day yesterday and hadn’t run into anything unusual.
When he heard that Qi Zhenbai had caught two people infected with corpse poison, Chi Lingyan’s face immediately turned serious. On the side, Wei Xiao’s face tuned solemn and he couldn’t help but say, “Where on earth did these people come from? If we don’t find the source, there really won’t be an end
to this matter.”
At the thought of the “living dead” biting and infecting people from time to time, Wei Xiao’s face turned uglier. What he was most glad about now was that these people who had been bitten could still be saved. If it was like those zombie films, what would happen then?
Wouldn’t the entire world be in chaos?
‘Whether or not it was contagious, it was better to find the source and resolve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, he really couldn’t be at ease.
At that moment, Qi Zhenbai said to Father Chi and Wei Xiao, “Dad, Commander Wei, there must be a reason for everything. The key now is indeed to find the source of the corpse poison. I already have people investigating the victims and the places they’ve been to recently.. I believe there should be an
answer soon!”
