The car drove into the underground garage, and no one paid attention to it anymore.
Naturally, they didn't know that Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu had gotten out of this car, and the original driver was King.
"I won't go in with you. One more car, they didn't notice, but if one person is missing, who knows."
As for the real driver, he had been knocked unconscious and left in the woods.
"Okay, then be careful."
Shen Qingqing cautioned with concern.
King waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've kept the medicine you gave me. I'll treat my own wounds, but you two have to be careful. Pei Xi is not easy to deal with."
Shen Qingqing nodded, "Don't worry, we're going back this time to make him lose."
Seeing her eyes sparkling, King couldn't help but curve his lips and smile indulgently, "Alright, my little disciple is now out of her apprenticeship and is even more capable than her master. With such a capable man accompanying her, this master can finally rest easy."
He glanced at Fu Jingshu, his eyes warm and gratified.
Like an elder.
Fu Jingshu felt awkward all over, but the words were very pleasing to hear, so he didn't bother with King intentionally taking advantage of him.
After the three parted ways, Shen Qingqing, familiar with the route, went to the second floor without alerting anyone.
She went to the old man's room first.
Pushing the door open, the old man said without looking up, "It's a critical moment now. Don't disturb me, unless the girl and the others are back..."
"Old man."
Hearing the familiar voice, the old man suddenly looked up and saw Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu. His eyes immediately lit up.
"You're back?"
He rushed over and examined Shen Qingqing from head to toe, worried she might be injured. Then he glanced at Fu Jingshu and looked behind them.
"Where's King? Didn't you find him?"
Shen Qingqing said with a smile, "We found him, but he has something to do right now and can't come back with us."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you found him. I was worried about you getting hurt! You're finally back, where's the antidote?"
Shen Qingqing gave him the medicine. The old man immediately put on his glasses and studied it on his worktable. Within half an hour, he had the results.
During this time, Shen Qingqing did not disturb the old man at all.
The old man placed the antidote in a box on the table and pushed it towards Shen Qingqing, while the other hand pushed his glasses up his nose.
"It's real. It can be given to Xixi."
At this moment, Shen Qingqing could no longer contain her joy. This trip was all for this thing!
She turned to look at Fu Jingshu, and a faint smile also appeared on his face.
The old man tapped the table, "Hurry up and put the medicine away. After you're done talking, go back to your room and exchange sweet nothings. There's no rush now, don't show off your affection in front of me."
Shen Qingqing glared at him, but in a good mood, she didn't argue and put the antidote into the box, treasuring it.
"Old man, thank you."
This was obtained with the help of the old man and King.
The old man waved his hand impatiently and said, "Why thank me? If you say it again, I'll get angry. You know I don't like that sort of thing."
Shen Qingqing replied helplessly, "Okay, okay, I won't say it. How's your research on the antidote going?"
"It's done."
The old man lifted his chin proudly, "When I make a move, nothing fails." If Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu hadn't returned at that time, he would have brought out the antidote long ago.
While Shen Qingqing was happy, she recalled the scene she saw when she first came in, and her mouth twitched.
"Then when we came in, what were you researching so seriously?"
"Poisons."
The old man said matter-of-factly.
Shen Qingqing covered her forehead, her voice a little weak, "I knew it. You're still as unreliable as ever..."
Even if the King died, it wouldn't have much to do with the old man. He didn't care at all.
Shen Qingqing checked the time and then looked at her clothes, feeling quite disheveled. "I'll go back and tidy up first. You prepare the antidote, and we'll start the final leg."
The old man waved his hand casually, "Okay."
Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu returned to their room, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and reappeared looking radiant and elegant.
"Let's go."
As Shen Qingqing was about to walk towards the door, Fu Jingshu stopped her.
"Are you hungry?"
Hearing his question, it was as if the King's fate was less important to her than whether she had eaten or not. Shen Qingqing grabbed his hand and said lightly, "I'm not hungry. Right now, I'm more eager to resolve everything with Pei Xi."
She had already obtained the medicine and was eager to return.
"Okay, then let's go now."
The two went to find the old man, and with the antidote, they went to the King's room. Pei Ji and Pei Xing were taking care of him there.
Pei Ji stood up as soon as he saw them, his eyes red, "You're back. Did you find King?"
Shen Qingqing nodded slightly, "We found him. You don't need to worry about him."
Pei Ji nodded, looked back at his father, and then asked, "Then did you research the antidote this time?"
Shen Qingqing looked at the old man, who immediately took out a small box from his pocket.
Pei Ji's hands trembled as he took the box, as if it wasn't an antidote, but a fragile treasure, "Is this the antidote?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him, "If you don't believe me, give it back."
As he said that, he actually reached out to take it. Pei Ji quickly dodged and said with a smile, "That's not what I meant. I just can't believe it."
The old man, considering he was doing it for his father, was understanding, "Alright, hurry up and give the antidote to your father to take."
Pei Ji immediately went to the bedside, carefully helped his father sit up, and fed him the antidote.
However, the King was still unconscious and had difficulty swallowing. Pei Ji was anxious when he realized the pill dissolved in his father's mouth.
There was no need to swallow it himself; the medicine had already gone down.
Less than ten minutes after taking it, the King's eyelids moved, his eyeballs rolled, and he was slowly waking up. This surprised Pei Ji greatly. When he spoke again, his eyes were already red, his throat felt as if it were blocked by cotton, and he choked out, "Thank you, really... I don't know how to express my gratitude..."
The old man was unaccustomed to such scenes and waved his hand, "Stop thanking me. Thank the girl."
After all, it was she who had promised to save him, and that's why he would act.
Pei Ji turned to look at Shen Qingqing, "Thank you, Miss Shen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the King woke up.
He immediately ordered someone to inform the Queen and his eldest brother, and then he rushed to the bedside, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Father, you're finally awake!"
The King, supported by him, sat up, his eyes dazed, but his memory quickly returned. He remembered everything that had happened before he lost consciousness, and his face turned pale.
"Am I going to die?"
Pei Ji quickly said, "You won't die. You won't die. You've taken the antidote, developed by Miss Shen and the poison doctor. They saved you!"
The King looked at Shen Qingqing and the old man.
Then he turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, "Where is your mother?"
