Jiang Nuan looked at her and asked, "Are you very confident about your poison?" Her unhurried voice was laced with sarcasm.
Yan Xi clenched her fists, her entire body tensed. Looking at the confident Jiang Nuan, she wondered if she could truly cure the poison.
Impossible!
This time, to ensure Jiang Nuan wouldn't escape this unscathed, she had truly given it her all. This poison was extremely rare, and before this, she had rarely seen or heard of it, let alone Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan had no confidence before obtaining the Dragon Gall Leaf, but now she was very confident.
Dragon Gall Leaf, cures all poisons!
Jiang Nuan looked at her, her voice icy, "Yan Xi, in your eyes, killing so carelessly, you truly have no heart."
"Let's see if they can be revived first. You should worry about yourself," Yan Xi sneered. She refused to believe Jiang Nuan could actually save these two people.
Besides, does having a heart bring luck?
Meeting Jiang Nuan in this life was Yan Xi's greatest nightmare.
"Oh, he's moving."
The woman standing beside the man suddenly cried out.
Everyone looked over and saw the man, who had been lifeless and lying on the ground, suddenly open his eyes. He slowly sat up.
Confused, he looked around. Many people were staring at him, which startled him.
"Heavens! Why are you all looking at me like that?" the man asked.
Jiang Nuan walked up to him and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, sir, for you being poisoned in my wellness center. Your poison has now been cured. As compensation, please come to the shop tomorrow to discuss further."
"Ah, I'm fine. Why compensation? If you really want to compensate me, let me have your wellness soup for free for a month. Your wellness soup is simply miraculous. I was in a terrible mood this morning, but after having your soup, my mood improved tremendously, and I had an influx of inspiration, which greatly helped my work."
The man slowly stood up, stretched his arms behind him, and felt full of energy.
He looked at Jiang Nuan in surprise, "What medicine did I take? My whole body is warm, relaxed, and it feels like my pores are expelling toxins so smoothly."
The man looked relaxed and felt much lighter internally.
Jiang Nuan looked at the man's upright and honest demeanor and couldn't help but smile, "Sir, the ingredients for the antidote are very precious. After taking it, it will help expel toxins and waste from your body. If you have time, try not to go out for these three days. Drink plenty of water at home, and you will have unexpected gains after three days."
"Alright, I still need to rush to the company. We can discuss other matters tomorrow." The man smiled at Jiang Nuan and quickly left.
"Wait a moment! Sir, please make a statement here first, as you are the victim." A police officer blocked his path.
"Ah... right. I was poisoned. The culprit cannot be let off lightly." The man said to the police officer in a boisterous manner and followed him to make a statement.
Meanwhile, everyone else was still in a state of astonishment.
Yan Xi was incredulous, her eyes wide. She seemed to have lost her voice, unable to utter a single word.
Following this, the woman not far away also woke up.
Jiang Nuan walked over and apologized sincerely again. This woman, upon hearing about compensation, became very excited and demanded a hundred thousand. Jiang Nuan, to quell the situation, said nothing and gave her the hundred thousand.
Since the incident happened at their establishment, she accepted responsibility.
Liking money made some matters easier to resolve.
After receiving the money, the woman willingly signed an agreement and left.
Jiang Nuan then looked at Yan Xi, whose eyes were filled with shock.
"Xiao Ruiming, go get some wine, high proof."
Xiao Ruiming looked at Jiang Nuan with admiration and replied heartily, "Okay, coming right up."
Soon, Xiao Ruiming returned and handed the wine to Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan's fair fingers forcefully pulled open the cork and looked at Yan Xi, her gaze cold and distant, "Yan Xi, did you really think your disguise technique was invincible?"
Her voice was devoid of emotion, yet it seemed to carry a bone-chilling coldness.
This instantly snapped Yan Xi back to her senses.
Yan Xi frowned, looking at the white wine in her hand, her body trembling slightly, fear surging in her eyes, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Nuan stared directly at her, "Let everyone see your true face."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi remembered the incident where the fake Li Rongyao was exposed. She was confused; how did Jiang Nuan discover it?
She held on until the end, wanting to know what method Jiang Nuan had used.
So it was white wine, and high-proof white wine at that.
Seeing her confusion, Jiang Nuan explained, "Yan Xi, you are indeed smart, but you've used your intelligence for evil. Your disguise technique is flawless, with no apparent flaws. But you overlooked one thing: a certain ingredient in it, upon contact with alcohol, undergoes a chemical reaction and detaches automatically, revealing the flaw."
Yan Xi's pupils trembled, and she closed her eyes in pain. Jiang Nuan was peeling her away like an onion, uncovering even her biggest secret.
"Jiang Nuan, today, let's perish together." Yan Xi suddenly pulled a gun from her embrace, aiming the muzzle at Jiang Nuan, looking at her with a resolve to die.
Seeing this, everyone immediately scrambled in all directions.
Screams echoed throughout the hall.
Those who couldn't escape hid under tables.
Lu Jinyue held Yu Han, looking nervously at his sister!
Where was Mu Jiuchen?
He must have seen that trouble was brewing here, so why wasn't he coming to save Nuannuan?
Jiang Nuan looked at the gun pointed at her, still calm and collected.
"Yan Xi, life is inherently a play. Why bother with grudges? Behind grudges lies immense hardship. Others cannot comprehend your pain. Only by living your life honestly can you find happiness!" Jiang Nuan spoke in a calm tone. At this moment, her heart ached. If Yan Xi had cherished herself, she wouldn't have become this way.
Living is not easy; why not make it easier for oneself?
Constantly hurting others with one's own troubles, only when one suddenly understands will they realize that those people in life are merely fleeting clouds.
"No, Jiang Nuan, don't say it so easily. You don't understand me!" Yan Xi roared at Jiang Nuan, tears streaming down her face.
The grievances, anger, and hatred in her heart were unleashed to their fullest.
She shook her head in pain, looking at the calm-faced Jiang Nuan, her heart breaking, and she roared with all her might, "Jiang Nuan, you never understood my suffering. We were clearly the same, yet you were always luckier than me, whether it was men or career. You always surpassed me in luck. Even your graduation thesis passed on the first try, while I failed countless times. Your discourse on Traditional Chinese Medicine was a miracle in the medical community, making you famous overnight, while I was still struggling to survive."
"I finally met your elder brother. I was about to get married, and just as I was immersed in happiness, you reappeared in my life and dealt me a fatal blow. Living under your shadow, I was so exhausted. I had nothing, and even the man I loved most was being taken away by you."
"Jiang Nuan, true feelings are profound, but human hearts are cold. Over these years, I've only been hurt, never happy. You've never experienced my suffering, so why advise me to be kind? You haven't experienced the hardships I've been through, so what right do you have to say anything?"
Yan Xi's emotions had completely spiraled out of control.
