Chapter 243 Miraculous Heavenly Eye Pill
Gao Zhao Hai felt smug inside, and the wrinkles on his aged face eased considerably. His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Mu Liantian with an expression that seemed to say, "You should have trusted me earlier."
In fact, even before Mu Yunfei mentioned that Jing Yan had left, Gao Zhao Hai had been a bit anxious himself. Although he acted dismissive of the Heavenly Eye Pill, he wasn’t sure if it would truly be effective against Qi Sirou’s Fog Vortex. After all, it was a type of elixir even he had never seen before.
Not having seen it meant he couldn’t be certain of the elixir’s effects.
But now, Gao Zhao Hai was certain.
If the elixir really worked, would Jing Yan leave on his own?
That was absolutely impossible! Just like himself—if he was confident in refining an elixir to treat the Housekeeper’s wife Qi Sirou’s Fog Vortex issue, would he leave before Chief Mu Liantian had a chance to thank him? Obviously not!
He judged others by himself and believed that if Jing Yan had no guilty conscience, he surely wouldn’t have left. Healing Qi Sirou’s Fog Vortex—how great a favor would that be for both Mr. and Mrs. Mu Liantian?
To leave without a word was simply ridiculous.
Gao Zhao Hai thought that Jing Yan’s sudden departure had only one possibility: the charade could no longer be sustained, so he took an opportunity to sneak away.
He even felt that what Jing Yan had said about the poison of Netherworld Poison Grass was made up entirely. Perhaps Qi Sirou had never been poisoned at all, and the medicine he had prepared was merely some kind of awakening agent. After Qi Sirou took it, it would temporarily improve her mental state.
Yes, that must be it!
"Chief Mu, I think we should immediately send someone to capture that boy. He’s audacious to the extreme, daring to come to the Manager’s Mansion and deceive us. If we let him go just like that, the authority of the Manager’s Mansion will surely be affected," Gao Zhao Hai promptly suggested.
