Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.

Cheng Sihai and Cheng Yizhou left to greet them.

They didn't immediately ask Bai Su about the result, but subconsciously looked at Bai Su's expression.

Although Bai Su was wearing a mask, she could not hide the sadness and self-blame in her eyes.

"boom--"

Cheng Yizhou's mind went blank.

"I'm going to kill Cheng Dong!"

He turned to rush out, but Bai Su grabbed him.

"Your dad's still in the hospital, what are you trying to do?! Cheng Dong will be dealt with by law. What you need to do now is stay with your dad!"

Cheng Yizhou's eyes were red.

"I...I'm going to see him one last time..."

"What last time?" Bai Su frowned. "I haven't said anything yet, what are you thinking?"

Cheng Yizhou was stunned for a moment.

Cheng Sihai's eyes widened suddenly.

"Wu Yan isn't dead?"

Bai Su was puzzled: "Who said he was dead?"

Cheng Sihai: "It's...it's your expression..."

Bai Su sighed and said, "He's out of danger, but... his injuries are too severe. Even if he recovers and is discharged from the hospital, he'll have to wear a urinary catheter for the rest of his life."

Cheng Yizhou leaned against the wall and exhaled several deep breaths; he had even forgotten to breathe just now.

Cheng Sihai's eyes finally reddened at this moment, and he could no longer hold back his emotions.

He thought he was going to be the one to bury his child.

"No matter what..." Cheng Sihai said in a trembling voice, "It's good that you're alive. Master... Bai Su, thank you."

Bai Su shook her head: "You don't need to thank me. I couldn't completely cure him; it's my incompetence..."

Cheng Dong went too far, not only shoving the sharpened toothbrush into his abdomen but also stirring it violently inside...

That's why he had to wear a urine bag for the rest of his life.

"Yizhou, your grandfather is getting old. From now on, you will be responsible for taking good care of your father. You also need to be more sensible than before, so that he doesn't have to worry about both your father and you at his age. Do you understand?" Bai Su instructed.

Cheng Yizhou nodded vigorously.

"Okay, your dad is still asleep. He might not wake up for another two hours. Once he wakes up, don't mention the need for a urinary catheter to him. Wait until he's recovered a bit before talking to him about it."

"I understand," Cheng Yizhou nodded.

As they were talking, Cheng Wuyan was wheeled out, and the group took him to the intensive care unit. They looked at Cheng Wuyan through the glass door of the intensive care unit.

"Should you handle Cheng Dong's situation, or should I?" Bai Su asked Cheng Sihai.

"I'll take care of it. You've worked so hard, why don't you go back and rest? Leave everything to Cheng Dong."

"Alright, but you need to take care of yourself. You're not young anymore. What will they do if something happens to you?"

"I will take good care of myself, Master."

Bai Su nodded and went back to rest in Lao Ding's car.

Cheng Yizhou waited outside the intensive care unit for Cheng Wuyan to wake up.

The surgery was too exhausting, and Bai Su fell asleep shortly after returning home.

When I woke up again, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

I took out my phone and saw two missed calls.

One call came from Pei Yuanshan, and the other from Cheng Yizhou.

Fearing that something unexpected might happen to Cheng Wuyan, Bai Su dialed Cheng Yizhou's number first.

Cheng Yizhou didn't answer; a mechanical female voice indicated that the phone was switched off.

Bai Su then called Cheng Sihai again.

Cheng Sihai answered the call very quickly.

"He probably ran out of battery on his phone. I was there at the time, and he wanted to tell you some good news."

"Hmm? Good news?"

"Yeah, that kid, I don't know if it's because his dad shielded him from the disaster, but he actually got 49th place, just barely making the cut."

Bai Su chuckled to herself.

"He has indeed been working very hard lately, and he is also talented. If it weren't for Cheng Dong... he would probably be a hundred times more outstanding than he is now."

Cheng Sihai sighed, "It's all fate... Our family was badly harmed by the Lin family, mother and son. Fortunately, you were there, and Wuyan barely escaped with his life. Yizhou was able to get into the Imperial University entirely thanks to your guidance, and you even gave him the spot... I only found out about this today. So, once Wuyan's condition stabilizes a bit more, I plan to tell him your true identity, so he'll remember all the kindness you've shown him. What do you think?"

Bai Su pondered for a moment and said, "After this incident, he probably won't have any more contact with the Lin family mother and son. Let's just tell him."

"Yes, Master. As for Yizhou, the situation is special today, so I won't celebrate for him. We'll have a proper banquet after Wuyan is discharged from the hospital."

"Of course, this is a joyous occasion."

"I'll hang up now, I'm still at the police station..."

"Can your body handle it?"

"No problem, I rested this afternoon."

Bai Su was slightly relieved and called Pei Yuanshan after hanging up the phone.

"What's up?" she asked bluntly.

Pei Yuanshan's tone was urgent: "Master, you finally answered the phone. I heard that Xiao Si's son had an accident..."

So that's what it was about.

Bai Su said, "I performed the surgery myself. The person is out of danger, but will likely have to wear a urinary catheter for the rest of their life..."

Pei Yuanshan remained silent for a moment.

Just as Bai Su was wondering if the call had been accidentally cut off, Pei Yuanshan said, "Master, could you come to my house tomorrow? I have something very important to tell you."

Bai Su had a vague idea of ​​what Pei Yuanshan was going to say.

She hummed in agreement and said, "I'll come find you after school."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest any longer..."

"Um."

After the call ended, Bai Su lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She could guess that Xiaoshanzi was going to tell her about the "curse".

After she appeared, Xiaoshanzi was hospitalized with a heart attack first;

Then Cheng Sihai was poisoned and sent to the hospital;

Now, Cheng Wuyan has almost lost his life...

A series of messy things happened in between.

This made Bai Su wonder if she had made a mistake in her initial judgment.

Does a curse truly exist in this world?

After all, her and Fu Qiyu's "rebirth" was something mysterious and unpredictable.

It seems not impossible that something could exist to stop it.

Bai Su's mind was in a mess.

But soon, Bai Su's rationality slowly returned.

Pei Yuanshan suffered a heart attack because he was poisoned; an unidentified person had poisoned him.

When Cheng Sihai was hospitalized after being poisoned, he found the person who poisoned him—Cheng Dong and his mother.

Cheng Wuyan's near-death experience was not without reason; it was Cheng Dong who made the move.

She decided to trust her own judgment.

After figuring these things out, Bai Su's emotions gradually calmed down.

Before they knew it, it was time for school to let out the next day. Bai Su and Fu Qiyu agreed to meet at the entrance of No. 3 Middle School.

Fu Qiyu was dismissed from school early, and when Bai Su came out, he was already waiting at the school gate.

Among the students coming and going, Fu Qiyu was the most eye-catching.

He was wearing a white shirt, and his short, wispy hair fluttered in the wind, attracting the attention of passing students.

"Is that a celebrity? He's so handsome..."

"Frog Fun, this is the first time I've ever seen someone this handsome in real life."

"How could it be the first time? You forgot about Cheng Yizhou..."

"He and Cheng Yizhou have completely different styles, okay?"

"Different styles, but the same handsomeness."

"I still prefer this style; this person seems very sophisticated..."

"You're too late. If Cheng Yizhou finds out you said he has no substance, he'll definitely curse you to death."

"That's the difference between them; this one doesn't seem to be good at swearing."

"Good grief, are you saying Cheng Yizhou has no manners?"

"Are you ever going to stop...?"

Amid the students' commotion, Fu Qiyu remained completely unresponsive; his mind and eyes were focused on only one person—Bai Su, who was running rapidly toward him.

He didn't want her to run too much, so he gestured for her to slow down.

Bai Su didn't understand his gesture and ran over faster.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"Just arrived."

When the students saw Bai Su and Fu Qiyu standing together, they felt that the two were an inexplicably well-matched couple.

"I can't imagine how popular they would become if they followed the internet celebrity couple route."

"They don't even need to film any plot; just standing together is enough to attract fans."

"It feels so good, my eyes are so refreshed today."

……

Once in the car, Bai Su brought up what Pei Yuanshan might say about their visit to the Pei family today—a curse.

She had already told Fu Qiyu about this, and he was helping to investigate.

"Have you made any progress on your end? I'm still at a loss," Bai Su said, frustrated.

"I've found a little clue."

Bai Su looked at Fu Qiyu with surprise: "I thought you didn't have any clues either."

"Because it's just suspicion and we haven't found any actual evidence, I haven't told you about it."

Whom do you suspect?

Do you know a place called "Shadow Forum"?

Bai Su frowned: "I know that Xiao Si was poisoned before because his daughter-in-law bought the medicine here. But this place has been completely shut down... Why do you suspect that this shadow forum is behind it?"

"You mentioned to me that Xiaobai died from a poison called 'Qiancao Jue'. And after my investigation, I found that a dose of Qiancao Jue was once sold here."

Bai Su's eyelids twitched violently twice.

"Qiancao Jue is extremely difficult to make, and the medicinal materials are also very hard to find... No wonder you suspect this forum. If it's really related to them, then we're not far from finding the person behind it. When Xiaoshanzi mentions it to me later, we'll have him go and investigate the person in charge."

"I'm afraid we can't get to the bottom of this person in charge."

Why?

"That person in charge who was arrested was probably just a puppet. He committed suicide a couple of days ago out of guilt..."

"..."

"Don't worry, now that we have a suspect, we won't be far from finding the real mastermind. I'll intensify our investigation these next few days."

Bai Su suddenly remembered the math olympiad.

"What rank did you get? Xiao Si told me yesterday that Yi Zhou ranked 49th. That's just enough to get into Imperial University."

"First."

Bai Su wasn't surprised that Fu Qiyu came in first place, but she was still pleasantly surprised.

"That's amazing..."
