A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

Not only was the tip of my tongue numb, but the root of my tongue also felt like it was being pricked with needles. My entire mouth felt tight, like it was being numb due to nerve interference.

Jiang Linwan's heart skipped a beat. She took the powder and brought it to her nose again, the familiar medicinal scent filling her nasal cavity.

She quickly found the book of Chinese herbal medicine records in her space, turned the pages one by one, and finally stopped at the page with the Chinese herbal medicine recorded in the book. In order to confirm her guess, Jiang Linwan took out another pill, but this time it did not have that fragrance.

She took out all the pills and carefully searched for those with that specific fragrance. There were three out of eight pills. She swallowed two of them directly, and it was only a dozen minutes later.

Jiang Lin felt her mouth was dry and her throat was tight, as if she had swallowed a handful of fine sand. Her vision also became blurred. She quickly found a mirror, brought it close to her face, and her pupils had indeed changed.

An idea popped into her head: it resembled a snake, and that was the datura flower.

While small doses of this substance can indeed relieve pain, unlike normal medications that alleviate pain, Datura stramonium acts as a substitute. It uses the toxicity of the drug itself to erode your body, creating the illusion that you are not in pain.

Not only that, there is another drug in here, but this is just Jiang Linwan's guess. However, the drugs in the military region are strictly controlled, so how could such a loophole occur?

Jiang Linwan hesitated for a moment and did not dare to go directly to Dean Song, but instead went to see the old leader.

The old commander's health can't withstand any more strain, but she has no one else she trusts. If she goes to Commander Yang, his wife is probably very disgusted with her now, otherwise Gu Anrou wouldn't have reacted so strongly by going to her.

Jiang Linwan rushed to the old commander's door, only to be stopped by Guard Wu, who looked at her with a complicated expression.

He had just heard about the Jiang family's affairs, and he would absolutely not allow Jiang Linwan to trouble the old chief because of some rumors.

"Dr. Jiang, please just say what you need to say, and I can pass it on to you."

"I want to see the old chief. I want to tell him this in person." Jiang Linwan stood there with a stubborn look on her face. She had to see the old chief today.

"Dr. Jiang, the old commander, is still recuperating and can't withstand any more stress." Guard Wu frowned, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

He had previously thought that Dr. Jiang was a young woman with superb medical skills, and that she had said those things at Commander Yang's house that day, so she must be a broad-minded and ungreedy young woman.

It seems nothing special now.

"Old Chief, I have something important to tell you," Jiang Linwan called out anxiously.

But Wu, the guard, pulled him aside and said in a fierce tone, "Dr. Jiang, that's enough. You said before that you are a doctor, and saving lives is your duty."

Are you just saying that the old commander has just come out of the hospital and needs to recuperate?

"Dr. Jiang, if you don't have anything to do, please don't disturb the old commander's rest."

Jiang Linwan was given a direct warning look by Guard Wu and forced to leave the compound where the leadership was located. As soon as she stepped outside, she ran into Song Manru, who was moving house. Song Manru looked at her with a gloating expression.

"Jiang Linwan, you've finally met your match. Even if you've severed ties with your family, you're still a capitalist by birth."

You went to great lengths to curry favor with the division commander's wife, but now she's disgusted with you.

"Now, nobody in the residential compound wants to befriend you. You can just wait to be kicked out."

Jiang Linwan had no mood to argue with Song Manru. If there really were two kinds of drugs in this medicine, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing that Jiang Linwan didn't dare to say a word, Song Manru felt even more smug. Jiang Linwan's identity had just been exposed, and Lu Qiyue had just gone on a mission. What a coincidence!

He must have realized that Jiang Linwan had been using him all along, and that she was a selfish woman; he loathed her.

That's why I chose to go on a mission and stay away from Jiang Linwan.

As Jiang Linwan walked back, she anxiously pondered how to find the old leader.

Since open methods didn't work, she decided to use covert methods.

No sooner had Jiang Linwan left than the old commander came out of the house and asked Wu, the bodyguard, "What happened just now? What were you shouting about outside?"

"The old commander is fine, just some unimportant people. You need to rest and recuperate, so I didn't let anyone in to disturb you," Guard Wu immediately explained.

The old commander stared intently into his dark eyes. After a short while, Wu, the guard, was overwhelmed by the old commander's imposing presence and confessed everything: "It's Dr. Jiang. He's probably here because of the recent rumors, wanting to find you as his backer."

"Nonsense! You and I both know what kind of person Dr. Jiang is. What business is it of yours what people outside are spreading rumors about?" The old chief glared at him angrily.

"If she comes looking for me again, you should politely invite her in." Kindness can't be faked, especially since he knows about the Jiang family's affair.

After being reprimanded by his old superior, Officer Wu's mind cleared up a bit, and he felt somewhat remorseful.

He spent the entire afternoon craning his neck, waiting for Jiang Linwan to come to his door again.

Jiang Linwan waited until it got dark before disguising herself and sneaking out of the house.

Heading straight to the courtyard where the old leader lived, she bypassed Guard Wu and climbed over the back wall into the courtyard.

Then he crept into the house furtively and called out in a very low voice, "Old Chief? Are you home?"

The old commander lay in bed reading the newspaper, thinking he was hallucinating, until the voice came again. He reflexively reached under the pillow, gripped his weapon tightly, and carefully got out of bed, walking to the door.

"Old Chief!" Jiang Linwan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the old chief. The old chief, who was about to pull the trigger, breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and turned on the living room light, glaring at Jiang Linwan with annoyance: "You brat, how did you get in?"

Jiang Linwan smiled sheepishly: "It's not that Guard Wu wouldn't let me in, so I had to climb over the wall."

"Old sir, I really didn't mean to bother you, but I have something important to discuss with you."

The old commander had a stern face. Even though he had experienced gunfire and bullets, if someone suddenly broke into a place like the family compound, he would suspect that their garrison area had been attacked by the enemy.

"You'd better really have something to say!"

Jiang Linwan quickly took out two pills with different scents and handed them to him: "Smell them, aren't they different?"

They looked the same at first glance, but the old commander pinched one and sniffed it several times before noticing a difference. He frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Is this your new researched drug?"

"No, this is the medicine I got from the military hospital last time. The two medicines have the same name, the same packaging, and the same appearance, but the medicines inside are different." Jiang Linwan's expression turned serious.

The old commander was taken aback at first, but quickly understood what she meant, and his expression immediately turned serious: "You mean the medicine has been tampered with?"

Jiang Linwan: "Yes, one of the medicines contains datura. This medicine not only cannot cure diseases, but it can also cause delirium and hallucinations, and long-term use can lead to addiction..."

The old leader's face grew increasingly grim. Just as he was about to speak, a commotion erupted in the courtyard.

He rushed out of the house: "Old Wu, what happened?"

As Guard Wu entered the courtyard, just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiang Linwan in the yard. He paused for a moment, quickly rubbed his eyes, and looked somewhat incredulous.

Upon closer inspection, however, Jiang Linwan was indeed standing behind the old chief. How come he didn't know when she came in?

"Get to the point!" the old leader urged.

"It seems a thief broke into our residential compound, and it went to Dr. Jiang's house." Guard Wu lowered his eyes, not daring to look at his superior's expression.
