Chapter 122 - 122 Poisoned?
122 Poisoned?
“Ask…ask away.” Lin Bin was getting impatient.
Guo Miao didn’t ask anything but threw Lin Bin over her shoulder and onto the ground instead.
Who was he to instruct her to ask him questions?
Lin Bin felt as if his internal organs were about to come out as a result of the fall, and his anger rushed to his head. “Guo Miao, you have no manners at all. How can you treat my dad and me like this?”
Before Lin Bin could react, Guo Miao kicked him to the ground again. This time, he didn’t even see her movements clearly.
“What right do you have to mention my mother?” Guo Miao walked over and stepped on Lin Bin’s hand.
Her aunt, who had just come in with a bowl of roasted meat, was also shocked by this scene. She quickly put down the dishes and went to see to her son. “Guo Miao, your grandmother’s body is still warm. How can you hurt your uncle and your cousin?”
Guo Miao’s face darkened at the mention of her grandmother.
Guo Hua was not related to Granny Lin in any way, so it was impossible for him to lie. In that case, the matter of them angering her grandmother to death should be true.
“How dare you bring up the matter of my grandma’s corpse?” Guo Miao looked at them.
Lin Kai and his family lowered their heads in guilt.
Seeing the reaction of Lin Kai’s family, Guo Miao was even more determined.
Her aunt was afraid that Guo Miao would misunderstand, so she quickly stood up and pulled her to sit down at the side. “Did you hear what I said?”
Guo Miao ignored her and stared coldly at Lin Kai.
Lin Kai felt a chill run down his spine as he cursed and walked out of the door.
“How could we have angered your grandma to death? We were going home to pack our things and bring the two old folks to Baicheng to retire. Who’d have known that your grandma’s heart would be weak and that she had a problem at that time?”
Guo Miao laughed. Did she really think she was a three-year-old?
Grandma didn’t have a history of heart disease before she died. She must have been shocked by something.
“Your grandpa is also in a coma now. You’re a good girl, so don’t anger your grandpa, okay?”
As if afraid that Lin Kai would offend Guo Miao, her aunt’s tone was gentler as she added, “Also, your uncle didn’t mean to say what he said to you. He’s a straightforward person, so you should just forgive him. I’m here to apologize to you.”
Only then did Guo Miao remember that she had been so preoccupied with her grandmother’s matters that she had not even gone to visit her grandfather.
“Where’s Grandpa?”
“I will take you to see him. Ah, don’t worry.” When Lin Kai’s wife, Wang Li, heard that there was a chance to interrupt, she quickly brought Guo Miao to Grandpa Lin’s room.
Lin Lu, who was nearly 80 years old, had always been in good health. Now, he was lying on the bed. The room was very cold with only a small air heater running. Lin Lu’s lips were white from the cold. He panted and closed his eyes tightly. What was even more terrifying was that her grandfather’s face had turned black, as if he had been poisoned.
Guo Miao couldn’t believe that this was her grandfather.
“Why don’t you find someone to take care of Grandpa?” Guo Miao asked in a low voice.
Guo Fu, who had come in with Guo Miao, also frowned.
“Everyone’s busy with the funeral. How can we have time? You’re back just in time to take care of Grandpa.”
Guo Miao ignored Wang Li and walked straight to Lin Lu’s side.
Lin Lu’s body already had a faint smell of decay. It was the smell of an old man before he passed away.
Guo Miao placed her hand on his wrist.
“Oh my, why are you still checking him? The village doctor said that the old master must have been shocked by the old lady’s death.” Wang Li was a little nervous.
“Shut up, you’re the ones who poisoned him.”
The atmosphere became silent. Wang Li stood there in a daze and stammered, “H-how is that possible? Even doctors can’t tell that it’s a drug.”
She only realized something was wrong after she finished speaking. How did Guo Miao know that she had poisoned the old master?
“You’re slandering me!” Lin Kai pushed the door open and entered, ignoring the unconscious patient in the room, while shouting, “I think you’re just trying to rebel. Today, you hurt me and your cousin, and now you’re spreading rumors that we poisoned him!”
Following Lin Kai were a few burly and chubby men, all of whom were his good friends in the village. One of them appeared slightly younger as he looked at Guo Miao, sizing her up with malicious intent.
“Whether it’s poisoned or not, I’ll get the police to run some tests,” Guo Miao said lightly.
“Young lady, I’m a police officer. If you need anything, come and find me,” the fat man who had just sized up Guo Miao said.
