MY MASTER'S KISS - SEASON 2 EPISODE 72

When Feng Ling left, Ji Nuan turned to look at Qin Siting. “Isn’t she one of us? Why did you suddenly send her away?”

“Do you want more people to know about your Ji family’s problems?” Qin Siting indifferently eyed her, casually bringing out a drug analysis report much thicker than the previous one.

Ji Nuan was just about to receive it when Qin Siting paused, placing it by her side. “Forget it, don’t move your hands.”

Ji Nuan lowered her head to scan the report before looking at him. “How are the results?”

“Similar to what you initially predicted. These so-called health supplements all do not reveal to have any harmful effects on their own. It can be seen that the other party is acting cautiously and thoughtfully. But when these medicines are taken together, it becomes a slow-acting poison that causes one’s kidney to fail gradually.” Qin Siting’s tone was cold and mild.

Ji Nuan was silent for a moment.

She had already expected this. Hearing the report now was not especially shocking.

“This medicine, my father shouldn’t have been taking them for too long. I saw that he only takes the medicines in his drawers when he remembers them. Could there already be any harm done to his body?”

“That depends on how much he usually takes. These sort of medications work very slowly to avoid detection. If he hasn’t been taking them for too long, at most, they will only weaken his immunity and increase his likelihood of falling ill. As long as he stops taking them and nourishes his body well, after clearing the toxins, he should be fine. But if he has been taking them for a long period, it will be akin to boiling the frog slowly. Without realization, it will permeate into his blood and bone marrow, and the effects will be irreversible.”

Ji Nuan concentrated on his cold and solemn expression for a long moment before saying slowly and softly, “Thanks for the trouble, Doctor Qin.”

Qin Siting chuckled, glancing at the report by her side. “It is a good thing you managed to discover such a difficult-to-detect problem. The other party must be a cautious and scheming person. If you wish to expose this, you must be clever with your approach, or you’ll end up falling into their trap and burying yourself.”

Ji Nuan nodded and did not speak.

Qin Siting did not pay her any more attention, leaving her to sit by the side to wait for Feng Ling’s return.

After around two minutes, Qin Siting, who sat by the office desk drank some water and suddenly asked, “Your stepmother; her previous husband was the son that died early in the Sheng family?”

Ji Nuan had previously done some investigation on Shen Heru but did not expect that Qin Siting would also know of this.

“What is Doctor Qin trying to ask?”

Qin Siting glanced at her. “Sheng Yihan is her son. Even if the two of them severed their mother and son relationship for the Ji family years ago, your step-mother was once reliant on the Sheng family. Who knows if she has actually cut off all contact with that son of hers.”

Ji Nuan looked at him. “You mean, the medicine that my father has may be related to Sheng Yihan?”

Qin Siting smiled mildly. “It’s not impossible. But Sheng Yihan is cunning and adept at deception; he is difficult to grasp. Your step-mother is already in her fifties. A woman like her who rarely shows her face is suited to live in contentment in the Ji family. If something happens to your father, even if the Ji family’s power landed in her hands, it would be useless for her unless she has someone behind her.”

It was self-evident. Although Shen Heru was clever, she could not plan such an elaborate scheme.

Qin Siting did not speak any further, clearly only intending to share so much.

When Feng Ling returned, Qin Siting coincidentally had to leave for a consult. He left Ji Nuan with a few instructions for her wounds and left.

Only the two of them were left in the clinic. Ji Nuan was just about to prepare to leave when her phone abruptly rang.

“Hello, Boss Nuan, I’ve checked. The package came from America. I’m only able to find the address where it was mailed out, but the person who sent it is not listed. Any other information is not provided either.”

“There is no information about the sender at all?”

“En, en. Not even a bit. I can’t find anything. The delivery company says that it is common for people to send their packages out without listing their address. Usually, they’ll leave their name and phone number, but this package appears to have a problem. Even the name and phone number are not listed. They find it strange as well.”

America?

Why was it that recently, everything around her appeared to be related to America, yet she was so clueless of it all?

Regardless if it was in her past or current life, Ji Nuan was sure that she had never lost any memories. She recalled everything that happened to her since young very well.

She had only studied in Los Angeles for several years. In between, was there anything that had escaped her notice?

Sending a doll in a wedding dress; an amputated doll even. The meaning behind it was clear.

But since it came from America, it could not have much to do with Ji Mengran.

Although An Shuyan had already returned to America, based on her proud and arrogant character, even if she were clever and smart with her schemes, she would never commit an act like this. If An Shuyan were someone who employed malicious methods, she would already have done something when she was within the country, and she would never have agreed to return to America so easily.

Such a scheme also did not seem like something Mo Jingshen’s father would use either. The method clearly revealed that the other party was a woman.

Who could it be?

——

At night, Feng Ling sent Ji Nuan back to the Yu Garden. Unexpectedly, Mo Jingshen arrived home at the same time as her. As she alighted from her car, his car stopped by the Yu Garden’s gates.

When Ji Nuan alighted, she subconsciously placed her hands behind her back. She eyed the black Ghost behind her and headed into the villa without waiting for Mo Jingshen to alight.

Mo Jingshen was initially on the phone. When he saw Ji Nuan acting suspicious, he immediately hung up the call, closed the car door, and approached her.

Ji Nuan rushed to the villa entrance but was unable to raise her bandaged hands to unlock the door. She felt Mo Jingshen’s approach, and her scalp immediately prickled in discomfort.

“What shameful deed did you do? You don’t even dare to raise your head?” Mo Jingshen’s voice rang above Ji Nuan’s head.

Ji Nuan quickly took a step backward, moving to the side away from the man in front of her. “Nothing much. I’m just a little tired today. Why did you get off work so early? Don’t you have any business parties to attend today?”

Ji Nuan leaned against the side of the door without a change in expression. When she finished speaking, Auntie Chen noticed their return and unlocked the doors from inside.

She was only a step away from entering the villa, but things did not go as she hoped. The man appeared to have the strange ability to look into hearts. No matter how natural Ji Nuan’s performance was, he still said unhurriedly, “Stop there.”
