Chapter 60: It Won't Kill Anyone from Eating It, Will It?

However, her parents made their stance clear, forbidding her from doing such things so as not to affect themselves.

Just as Ye Nuanxin was feeling entirely helpless, she heard Ye Fen in the main room say, "No matter what, I'm going to get the medicine back first. My money can't be wasted for nothing.

Mother Liu treasures this medicine; it's very powerful.

Even if Xiang Yu doesn't come home, we'll find a way."

Limping Su was a bit worried, "Will it kill anyone?"

Ye Fen shook her head, "No, it just makes a person's mind muddle-headed, silly and foolish for a dozen days, and then it automatically wears off.

By then, she will have disgraced herself completely at school, missed the high school entrance examination, and failed to get her diploma.

Didn't Xiang Fuqiang have a bet with his daughter?

When Xiang Yu performs poorly, Xiang Fuqiang and his wife will definitely use this as an excuse to make Xiang Yu obediently listen to them."

Limping Su nodded amidst the smoke of his cigarette; that could also be considered venting a foul breath of anger for Nuanxin.

Ye Fen said, "Then I'll finish eating quickly and go to Liu Family Village. You wake Nuanxin up, and you two have your breakfast."

Limping Su walked toward Ye Nuanxin's room with a limp. Ye Nuanxin hurriedly closed her eyes to feign sleep, but inside her heart, she was extremely excited. With medicine like this, the matter concerning Li Qiang was a sure success.

Xiang Fuqiang and Li Meilan, bringing Xiang Hao along, had already taken a tricycle to Xiang Yu's school.

The classroom doors were not yet open, so guided by a security office teacher, they went to the student dormitories instead.

The dormitory gates were also locked, and the elderly couple who watched the gates were nowhere to be found.

Assuming Xiang Yu had wandered off somewhere unknown, Xiang Hao began to complain of hunger. The three of them went to eat a bowl of rice noodles and then headed straight to the police station.

They were received by the same veteran police officer as last time.

"Comrade police officer, my daughter has run away, and now we can't find her anywhere."

The veteran police officer's face sank. "Which daughter has run away?"

Xiang Fuqiang replied, "The one you saw last time."

The veteran police officer narrowed his eyes. "For no good reason, why did your daughter run away? What have you two as parents done this time?"

Xiang Fuqiang felt instantly guilty and signaled with his eyes for Li Meilan to speak.

Li Meilan glared at him and chuckled awkwardly, "We just found a shamaness to take a look at the child. Her personality has changed drastically recently, and we suspected whether she might be possessed by something, and things haven't been going well at home either—it was all bringing bad luck to us.

As a result, she wouldn't cooperate, ran away in the middle of the night, and now we can't find her."

The veteran police officer sneered. Having lived to his age, although he was a people's policeman, he knew quite a bit about the theology that lay at the end of science.

He also knew one shouldn't generalize.

However, the young girl he had seen a few days ago possessed clear, upright eyes, articulated her thoughts orderly, and her logical reasoning was completely sound.

If there was anything particularly noteworthy about her, it was that she was exceptionally bold and remarkably clear-headed.

He had never seen any evil spirit that could make someone appear more spirited and wise.

Only real-life experience could possibly cause a person to undergo such a transformation.

Therefore, he firmly believed it was these parents stirring up trouble once again.

He pulled over a backrest chair and sat down, staring at Xiang Fuqiang and Li Meilan with a stern gaze. "First, explain the whole matter from beginning to end, leaving nothing out."

Feeling guilty, Li Meilan said in a low voice, "I've already explained it very clearly. What more is there to say?"

The veteran police officer tapped his finger joints against the wooden table. "With you being so vague and ambiguous, how am I supposed to help you find someone? If you're not going to cooperate, get out; don't waste my energy here."

Xiang Fuqiang and Li Meilan were instantly struck dumb, too ashamed to mention the fact that they had tied their daughter up and beaten her.

Seeing them dawdling and hesitating, the veteran police officer folded his arms across his chest, let out a cold snort, and cast a sidelong glance at them.

Xiang Fuqiang thought to himself that they might as well just leave; Xiang Yu was so capable, she would probably be fine even after running away.

Li Meilan, being stubborn and thick-headed to the core, persisted, "Comrade police officer, I just called her back yesterday, and fearing she wouldn't cooperate with the shamaness's exorcism, I tied her up with a rope. That's what the shamaness instructed us to do."
