Qin Luo looked at the food box, a hint of barely perceptible doubt flashing in his eyes.

He did order from Yi Pin Xuan, but the menu didn't seem to include the time-consuming and labor-intensive signature Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Moreover, the heir of the main store made it personally and even sent someone to deliver it.

Although he had his doubts, he didn't think much of it, considering that it might have been arranged by the management of Yipinxuan to curry favor with him, the behind-the-scenes boss. He nodded and accepted the food box.

"Please thank your store manager for me."

"You're welcome."

After completing his task, the man bowed respectfully and left.

Qin Luo returned to the restaurant carrying a food box. Chen Jinhua watched as he brought out another dish. Looking at the table already piled high with delicacies, leaving almost no room to eat, she couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Qin Luo, this is too much! How can the three of us possibly eat all this?"

Qin Luo placed the food box on the table and opened it. Instantly, a richer, more complex, and distinct aroma of meat wafted out with the steam, making one's mouth water.

he introduced.

"This is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, our signature dish from Fujian and Guangdong. It is said that 'when the jar is opened, the aroma of meat wafts to the neighbors, and even Buddha would abandon his meditation to jump over the wall to come.'"

This one is especially special; it was made by the sixteenth generation descendant of the Yi Pin Xuan flagship store. The process is extremely complex, so it should taste great. You should try it, and have plenty.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiyi curiously picked up the small bowl and scooped some out.

The broth was thick and viscous, with a golden color, and the abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw and other ingredients were clearly visible, stewed to perfection.

She carefully blew on it and put it in her mouth.

"Wow!!"

Chen Yiyi's eyes lit up instantly, and an expression of extreme enjoyment appeared on her face.

"It's so delicious! Mom, you have to try it!"

This taste...it's absolutely amazing! It's more fragrant and delicious than anything I've ever had anywhere else!

Seeing her daughter's high praise, Chen Jinhua's appetite was whetted, and she also ladled out a bowl to try. The broth's exquisite freshness and gelatinous texture instantly captivated her taste buds, and she couldn't help but nod in approval.

"Yes, it is indeed extraordinary. The cooking time and seasoning are just right. It is worthy of being made by the successor himself. The taste is very authentic."

Seeing that they liked it, Qin Luo smiled, and the three of them continued to eat and chat in a pleasant atmosphere.

However, this pleasant time did not last long.

About half an hour later, Chen Yiyi, who was talking and laughing, suddenly changed her expression and dropped her chopsticks on the table with a "clatter".

She suddenly clutched her abdomen, her brows furrowed, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

"Ugh... my stomach... hurts so much..."

"Yiyi, what's wrong with you?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Jinhua immediately asked with concern.

But as soon as she finished speaking, her face turned pale, cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and a burning sensation spread from her stomach, followed by excruciating pain as if being stabbed with a knife!
She couldn't help but groan and clutch her stomach.

Almost simultaneously, both of them experienced extremely severe abdominal pain, their faces quickly turned from white to blue, and their lips began to turn an abnormal cyanosis!

Qin Luo sensed something was wrong the moment Chen Yiyi cried out in pain. He also felt a slight stagnation in his blood and qi, as a cold, toxic substance tried to invade his meridians.

However, his physique far surpassed that of ordinary people. His powerful internal energy instantly circulated on its own, like a blazing torrent, directly forcing that negligible toxin out of his body, which then dissipated as a wisp of almost invisible black energy through his pores.

It's poisoning!
Qin Luo's eyes suddenly sharpened like knives!

He immediately looked at the nearly finished Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup on the table! The problem lay with this dish that was served later!
"The food is poisonous!"

Qin Luo said in a deep voice, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

He immediately got up, his movements swift and steady. He picked up Chen Jinhua and Chen Yiyi, who were curled up in pain and could barely stand, and carried them quickly to the bedroom, placing them side by side on the large bed.

"It hurts so much... Brother Qin Luo... I... I feel so bad..."

Chen Yiyi's voice was choked with sobs, and her body trembled slightly from the intense pain.

Although Chen Jinhua was also in excruciating pain, she still retained a sliver of reason. Her face was deathly pale, and she was drenched in cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and said to Qin Luo.

"Qin Luo... save Yi Yi first... she... she seems to be in more serious condition..."

Seeing their pained expressions, Qin Luo felt both anxious and angry, but now was not the time to pursue the matter.

He quickly walked to the side, took out a leather needle pouch he always carried, inside which were neatly arranged silver needles of varying lengths.

He returned to the bedside, looked at Chen Yiyi whose condition seemed more critical, and was about to administer acupuncture when he involuntarily stopped.

While the Taiyi Divine Needle is indeed miraculous, the toxins in Chen Yiyi's body are currently concentrated in the stomach area. To accurately guide and neutralize the toxins, needles must be inserted into several key acupoints on her chest and abdomen.

This means... that her top, or even her underwear, needs to be removed.

Looking at Chen Yiyi's face, contorted with pain yet still youthful and innocent, a hint of hesitation flashed in Qin Luo's eyes.

But at this moment, lives are at stake, and there is no room for delay or pedantry!
"Yiyi, I'm sorry!"

Without further hesitation, Qin Luo whispered something, then gently but quickly unbuttoned Chen Yiyi's top, removing her outer clothes and inner underwear together, revealing the girl's youthful and beautiful upper body skin.

Chen Yiyi's consciousness was already somewhat blurred. She only felt a chill on her body, but the intense pain prevented her from thinking any further.

Qin Luo composed himself, his gaze instantly becoming focused and pure, like the most precise surgical machine.

He picked up three slender silver needles and, with lightning speed, precisely inserted them into acupoints such as the Tanzhong and Juque points on Chen Yiyi's chest, first protecting her heart meridian to ensure that the poison would not attack her heart.

Immediately afterwards, he used the unique technique of Taiyi Divine Needle, gently twisting the silver needle with his fingers. A gentle and pure internal energy flowed through the silver needle and slowly entered Chen Yiyi's body, like guiding a clear spring to neutralize the filth, carefully stabilizing the toxins in her stomach area and preventing them from spreading and eroding further.

After stabilizing Chen Yiyi's condition, Qin Luo immediately turned to Chen Jinhua, who was standing next to him.

"Jinhua, I also want to perform acupuncture on you."

Qin Luo's tone was decisive and left no room for doubt.

Seeing that her daughter's condition had improved slightly, Chen Jinhua felt a little relieved. At this moment, she couldn't care less about feeling ashamed and weakly nodded.

Qin Luo swiftly and professionally removed Chen Jinhua's top and underwear, revealing her mature, voluptuous, and well-maintained body. Although the situation was urgent, the breathtaking curves and delicate skin still made Qin Luo's heart skip a beat, but he immediately suppressed all distracting thoughts and focused entirely on administering the acupuncture.

Using the same method, first protect the heart meridian, then use refined internal energy in conjunction with the Taiyi Divine Needle to clear and resolve toxins in the stomach.

Time passed slowly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Qin Luo's forehead. Simultaneously administering acupuncture to two people, and precisely guiding the needles with internal energy, was extremely taxing on him.

Nearly half an hour later, Qin Luo finally let out a long sigh of relief, and with a flick of his fingers, he removed all the silver needles from the two people's bodies.

"Alright, the toxins have been controlled and most of them have been neutralized. The rest can be eliminated by your own metabolism. There is no longer any danger to your lives."

Qin Luo's voice carried a hint of weariness, but it was very certain.

He turned around, his back to the bed, and said in a deep voice.

"Put your clothes on first."

I heard a rustling sound of clothes being put on behind me.

After a while, Chen Yiyi's timid voice rang out.

"Okay... okay."

Qin Luo then turned around.

Chen Yiyi had already sat up, her face still pale from the intense pain, but more noticeable was an uncontrollable flush that spread to her ears and neck.

She kept her head down, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, not daring to look at Qin Luo at all.

Although her consciousness was hazy just now, she vaguely remembered Qin Luo taking off her top, the feeling of his cold fingers and silver needles touching her skin, and his focused and handsome profile so close to hers...

The thought of being seen almost naked in front of Qin Luo and having so many private parts touched made her face burn with embarrassment, shyness, helplessness, and a mix of other emotions.

But strangely, apart from these, she didn't feel much resistance or disgust. Instead, she felt a strange, indescribable sense of security and... a fluttering feeling?
Chen Jinhua had also finished dressing, and her expression was equally complicated.

Besides the relief of surviving the ordeal and the lingering physical discomfort, she gained an extra layer of keen observation as a mother.

She clearly saw the fleeting shyness, dependence, and the undisguised radiance of a young girl in love when her daughter looked at Qin Luo.

It was far more than just gratitude for someone who saved your life!

This discovery made Chen Jinhua's heart sink, and a strong chill and unease instantly gripped her!
She couldn't help but think that if she and Qin Luo hadn't had that kind of intimate relationship, it would be perfectly normal for Yi Yi, as a young girl just beginning to experience love, to admire or even secretly like such an outstanding and mysterious young man as Qin Luo. She might even have been happy to see it happen.

But... the reality is that she's already with Qin Luo!

They have an intimate relationship that they cannot reveal to outsiders!
In this way, Yiyi's budding feelings, which she herself may not have fully understood, instantly became an extremely difficult, even dangerous, problem!

On one side is her long-lost biological daughter, whom she has finally reunited with and is willing to do anything to make amends; on the other side is the man with whom she has fallen deeply in love, both physically and emotionally, and with whom she has a complicated relationship…

Chen Jinhua looked at her daughter's shy profile, then glanced at Qin Luo, who was calmly tidying up the silver needles.

Alarm bells rang in my heart. The anxiety that had just eased slightly after escaping danger was now completely ignited by the unusual light in my daughter's eyes, turning into a firm decision.

She absolutely couldn't let things continue like this! She had to take Yiyi away from Mindu and away from Qin Luo immediately! Time and distance were the best remedies to dilute these inappropriate girlish feelings.

After making up her mind, Chen Jinhua quickly suppressed all her outward emotions. She dressed herself neatly and helped Chen Yiyi, who was still somewhat weak and dazed, to tidy up her clothes.

"Yiyi, how are you feeling? Can you walk? We need to get to the airport right away."

Chen Jinhua tried to keep her tone calm, but it carried an unquestionable air.

Chen Yiyi nodded. Although she was still feeling a little unwell, she was more confused and gave a soft "hmm".

When the mother and daughter came out of the bedroom, Qin Luo was in the living room with his back to them, making a phone call, and speaking in a very low voice.

"...Yes, that's what we'll do. Spread the word immediately that I was poisoned, and that I'm dead..."

Qin Luo's tone was cold and decisive.

Chen Jinhua happened to hear the last sentence, and his heart skipped a beat! Announcing his death to the public?

Is he trying to lure the snake out of its hole?
Chen Yiyi heard it too. Forgetting her shyness, she raised her head and looked at Qin Luo's back. Her eyes were filled with worry and doubt, and she asked in a weak voice.

"Brother Qin Luo... why... why were we suddenly poisoned?"

Compared to the pure gratitude and appreciation she showed before the poisoning treatment, her eyes now held a distinct layer of indescribable concern and dependence. This subtle change, like a needle, pricked Chen Jinhua's eyes again, making her even more certain of her judgment.

Qin Luo hung up the phone, turned around, and his face had returned to calm.

He looked at Chen Yiyi's worried face, smiled gently, and explained casually.

"It's nothing serious. It's probably because some seafood wasn't cleaned properly and produced some toxins. It's fine now, don't worry."

He deliberately concealed the fact that someone had deliberately poisoned them, just as he hadn't told them about the previous attack in the parking lot, not wanting them to get involved in these troubles and cause them unnecessary worry.

"It's getting late, I'll take you to the airport."

Qin Luo glanced at the wall clock and said.

Chen Jinhua immediately responded.

"No need, Qin Luo, you must have other things to take care of. We can just take a taxi to the airport ourselves, we can't trouble you any further."

Her tone carried a deliberate sense of distance.

Qin Luo glanced at Chen Jinhua, seemingly sensing something, but didn't press the matter and nodded.

"Alright, then be careful on your journey. Send me a message when you arrive in Yanjing."

Chen Jinhua, holding Chen Yiyi's hand, left Qin Luo's residence almost without stopping.

After seeing them off, the gentle expression on Qin Luo's face vanished instantly.

He walked alone to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, crossed his arms, and looked down at the bustling street below. His eyes narrowed, becoming as sharp as a hawk's.

An uncontrollable, tangible rage surged and burned within his chest!
Assassination attempts and poisonings were carried out repeatedly!
Do these people really think Qin Luo is made of clay?!

They actually turned their viciousness on Chen Jinhua and Chen Yiyi!
They are completely innocent! If it weren't for his exceptional medical skills and profound inner strength, an irreversible tragedy would have occurred today!

"No matter who you are... if you dare to touch the people around me... I will definitely tear you to pieces!"

Qin Luo's voice was deep and cold, as if it came from the deepest hell, carrying an overwhelming killing intent. (End of Chapter)
