Chapter 68: The Mother and Son Who Are Not What They Seem

Lin Banxia wore a sterile gown. Although young, she was composed and never flustered. The wisdom and composure in her eyes made Zhan Jingting take a second look at her.

An hour later, she took off her gloves, opened a notebook, and picked up a pen.

As she wrote something down, she said to him, “Because this virus can rapidly change its surface proteins during instrument examination, making it impossible for detection methods to accurately identify it, this is why your brother’s previous medical records don’t mention anything about him being poisoned. But now I can confirm that he was poisoned.”

Zhan Jingting stood aside, feeling like his world was collapsing. The pain and anger in his heart intertwined.

Banxia said, “Once this toxin enters the body, it quickly targets the central nervous system, launching a continuous attack on the brain and spinal cord. It can also cross the blood-brain barrier, penetrate neural tissue, and disrupt the normal function of nerve cells.”

“How did my brother get this toxin?” He spoke in a cold, calm tone, trying to control his emotions.

Banxia analyzed, “It can be transmitted through food, water sources, or fine aerosols in the air. This makes it almost impossible for your brother to detect any abnormalities in the early stages of infection. His situation has nothing to do with witnessing a car accident.”

Zhan Jingting was a little worried about the existence of such a skilled poisoner hidden by his side.

What was their motive?

If they could target his brother, they could target him, his wife, and his children.

Zhan Jingting immediately picked up his phone and dialed a number. He coldly instructed, “Help me investigate my brother’s movements 15 years ago, before he got sick. I need details down to the hour, who he contacted, what he ate, where he went. Check the surveillance.”

“Yes, Mr. Zhan.”

Banxia looked up at him. Surveillance footage from 15 years ago would be… hard to find, wouldn’t it?

But his men were very capable. And they also had Mo Mo, their little treasure, who was a master at restoring surveillance footage and making comparisons.

Jingting hung up the phone. Banxia professionally told him, “I understand the characteristics of this toxin now. I will quickly develop a detailed detoxification plan for your brother. Stop all his medication for now. All medications have side effects, and they’re not even targeted therapy. It’s pointless.”

Zhan Jingting nodded, “Okay.”

He had also done something big today: he had dismissed all the doctors he had hired at a high price from the mountain villa! They were all useless!

But he kept Dr. Avery. Even though he was reluctant, the investigation showed that there was no romantic relationship between him and Banxia.

At most, Avery admired Banxia.

It was natural for a doctor with such exquisite skills to be admired. Now, Zhan Jingting himself was her little fanboy.

Keeping Dr. Avery was to help his wife, so she wouldn’t be so busy and tired.

As the Lamborghini drove out of Yunjin Mountain Villa, the scenery outside was beautiful.

Banxia sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at him, “I will start treatment for Uncle Ming first. His condition is suitable for acupuncture. It will take about two days for him to recover.”

“Okay.” Zhan Jingting replied, eager to witness the miracle.

Returning to the Yuzhu Villa, Banxia went upstairs.

Zhan Jingting stood in the living room downstairs, watching her figure disappear around the corner. Then, he received a call from Mu Bo.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” He went back to the company, as it wasn’t yet time to leave work.

After going upstairs, Banxia went to Uncle Ming’s room. It was bright and clean, bathed in warm sunlight.

Because she had sent a message earlier, the caregiver had prepared the needles, alcohol disinfectant, gloves, cotton balls, and alcohol for her.

“Miss Lin, everything is ready.” The caregiver held a tray.

“Okay.”

“Miss Lin.” Uncle De stood up from the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with hope. “Is there anything I can help with?”

“Uncle De.” Banxia’s gaze softened. “There’s nothing you need to help with. Please trust me, I can definitely cure Uncle Ming. It will happen in the next two days.”

“You know acupuncture?” Uncle De looked at her, who was putting on professional gloves, a bit shocked.

“Yes, don’t worry, I’m very professional.”

“…” Uncle De didn’t speak, he stepped back and watched her intently as she completed the series of actions, not daring to distract her.

With her gloves on, Banxia examined Uncle Ming again. His condition had been improved by the Chinese medicine, making him suitable for acupuncture treatment.

In other words, the Chinese medicine she had prescribed earlier had shown significant results.

Banxia professionally disinfected Uncle Ming’s Fengchi and Zusanli acupoints, ensuring they wouldn’t be infected.

A professional medical lamp mounted above the bed provided ample light.

However, to be honest, the equipment here was simply no match for Zhan Yun 霆’s Yunjin Mountain Villa. There, they had the best medical equipment in the entire Silver City, even some that hospitals couldn’t afford, including foreign devices.

After disinfecting, Banxia picked up a flat needle and accurately inserted it into Uncle Ming’s Fengchi acupoint on his neck, about half an inch from the base of the skull. At the same time, her technique was gentle.

She stimulated the acupoint with the needle, while Uncle Ming lay motionless on the bed.

Unbeknownst to them, evening had arrived. Banxia was very professional and dedicated. The room was quiet, only her busy figure could be seen.

As the sun set, the soft orange hues illuminated the sky, casting a warm glow over the entire villa’s courtyard.

A black off-road vehicle slowly drove into the courtyard and stopped. The door opened, and Mo Mo and An An jumped out, carrying their backpacks, and happily ran towards the living room!

After returning home, they were very…

Around six o’clock, a Lamborghini sped towards the Yuzhu Villa. Warring Jingting, sitting in the backseat, had his handsome face illuminated by the setting sun, making his features appear even more profound.

He squinted his eyes, recalling the scene of Jiang Tianxiang approaching him earlier that morning.

He had just looked up information about Abbott, and he was still filled with admiration for this international hacking kingpin.

Such a formidable person, could it be his son, Mo Mo?

No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of this.

So, the first thing he did upon returning home was to call his children into the study.

“Daddy.” The two children, panting, blinked their big, black grape-like eyes. They couldn’t tell from their father’s current expression whether he was angry or not.

Warring Jingting sat down at the desk. “Children shouldn’t lie, right?” He placed his hands on their shoulders.

“Yes, yes!” The two little ones nodded in unison.

Mo Mo’s voice was soft and sweet. “Daddy, what do you want to ask? Is it about Mommy? I’ll tell you everything we know!”

Warring Jingting got straight to the point. “Are you Abbott?”

Mo Mo’s heart skipped a beat. His father was looking at him intently, so he could only raise his hand to wipe his face. “Yes.” He stood there, head bowed, as if he had done something terrible.

An An’s eyes widened. “Daddy, did Jiang Tianxiang come and tattle on us? He’s so shameless! He bullies kids and then goes tattling when he can’t win! Doesn’t he like to fight one-on-one?”

Warring Jingting released his children’s shoulders. He leaned back in his chair, a look of delight spreading across his face.

“Hahaha! You two little guys, how many more surprises are you hiding?”

What?

Daddy isn’t angry??

Mo Mo and An An exchanged glances, then both took a step forward, sitting on their father’s lap.

Warring Jingting embraced his children, his expression suddenly becoming serious. “Although the whole Jiang 氏 Group incident was quite thrilling, I’ve been wanting to take him down for a long time.”

The two children blinked, their hearts still pounding. “But?”
