Xia Zhi responded, “Xia Long instructed Lin Wang to poison Grandpa so that he could seize full control of the company!”

Zhao Shan had long suspected that Xia Long was not a good person, but she had not expected him to be a beast. She swallowed her rage and said, “Since he has such vicious thoughts, we don’t have to show him mercy!”

Zhao Shan instantly envisioned thousands of lethal scenarios. Then she chose the best one and said, “I’ll go back and make the poison now. I’ll make him feel the agony!”

Xia Zhi shook her head gently and said, “Xia Long cares a great deal about the company, so I want him to watch with his own eyes as I take back the company step by step. Once his mind has suffered enough, we can move on to his body!”

Zhao Shan’s blood also began to boil after she heard Xia Zhi’s words. She repeatedly nodded and said, “Good!”

Zhao Shan stared at Wang Sheng on the hospital bed. She asked Xia Zhi softly, “Master will only be able to reach Beijing in two days, so should we keep the old master in the hospital for treatment during this period of time?”

“There’s no need for Master to come.” Xia Zhi shook her head. After taking Wang Sheng’s pulse again, she said, “I’ve already found a way to detoxify the poison. After I bring Grandpa home, I’ll treat him myself.”

As expected of her talented junior sister. She had developed a solution so quickly! Zhao Shan’s eyes lit up, filled with surprise. She said happily, “Little Zhi, you are really amazing!”

Xia Zhi casually remarked, “It’s good that we found out about Grandpa’s poisoning in time. Once Grandpa starts taking the medication, we’ll have the illness under control.”

Just as Xia Zhi said, Wang Sheng’s condition was quickly stabilized. He was soon back home.

“Thank you for everything. If it weren’t for you, I might have been in a mess long ago.” Xia Zhi thanked Chu Nan, who had helped out with the transportation.

“You’re welcome. Besides, he is my grandfather, too. This is what I should do.”

Xia Zhi sighed as she recalled how quickly her grandfather had accepted Chu Nan’s repeated calls to him during this time.

Since Chu Nan had given so much, Xia Zhi felt she owed it to him to make amends as soon as possible. After some consideration, she said, “I’ll treat your leg after I’m done with the company’s matters.”

“Alright,” Chu Nan replied.

Xia Zhi never once took her eyes off of Chu Nan. She had expected him to be happy after hearing about the treatment, but he had remained indifferent.

After giving it some thought, Xia Zhi concluded that Chu Nan had probably taken too many blows and given up hope of any cure. “Don’t worry,” she reassured him hastily. “There is no doubt in my mind that I can save your leg. Don’t lose hope!”

Chu Nan was taken aback by the abrupt words. After some thought, he realized the logic behind it and cracked a grin. “Yes, I believe you.”

Chu Nan asked Xia Zhixun, “Are you confident about the company?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve prepared everything,” Xia Zhi answered confidently.

Chu Nan’s gaze toward Xia Zhi softened, and he softly said, “Go for it.”

“I will.” Xia Zhi nodded, the corners of her mouth curling up.

On the other side of things, Xia Long displayed a similarly confident grin.

Xia Long relaxed in his seat, confident that he would soon be able to oust Wang Sheng and assume complete leadership of the business. He grinned ear to ear.

Sharon, recalling Zhao Shi’s report to him just now, asked once more, “Are you sure Wang Sheng has been brought home?”

“President Xia, I have no doubt,” replied Zhao Shi, nodding. “I was waiting outside the clinic when I witnessed Wang Sheng being driven back to the mansion.

“President Xia, could it be that Wang Sheng’s condition has improved?”

Xia Long shot a stern glance at Zhao Shi before declaring, “It’s impossible for him to get better. I requested that Lin Wang administer the most lethal drug available at the time. Two months of slow burn would be enough for that decrepit body.”

Xia Long’s grin grew at the mention of this. The mere mention of Lin Wang sparked an idea in his mind. He cocked his head to the side and asked, “Did you kill Lin Wang?”
