Chapter 2027

Dong Hu had never felt so suffocated in all his years. He was used to giving orders, but now, facing the possibility of being knocked down, he felt a terror he had never known before.

"We must find a way. We must beg the Venerable Yanluo in the capital to show mercy," Dong Hu said seriously. He felt like an ant on a hot pan.

"Actually, Boss, the root cause is that we offended Madam Taishu. If she lets go, it will be easier for both Seventh Master Taishu and the Venerable Yanluo to let us go," her confidant said after thinking. This man was sensible and knew where the key lay.

However, he didn't explain fully. The island rules stated that trouble should not involve wives and children. But the Dong family’s daughter had acted out of selfishness, targeting another’s wife and son. No wonder Seventh Master Taishu and the Venerable Yanluo wanted to crush the Dong Group. The confidant had given up hope for the group’s future.

Dong Hu realized her confidant was right. The only thing left to do was to find Zhu Yanli. If she forgave them, everything else would be negotiable. But getting her to forgive them would not be easy.

In fact, Dong Hu had no time. Yan Aohan did not give him any. Soon, his whole family was captured and brought before Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Dong family members and spoke slowly. "Dong Hu, Mr. Dong, I assume you know who we are now?"

"You are people of the Venerable Yanluo in the capital?" Dong Hu guessed. He had never seen Yan Aohan or Zhu Yanyi before.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly and pointed to Yan Aohan beside her. "Let me introduce you. This is Yan Aohan, the Venerable Yanluo of the capital. As for me, I am just a doctor, a small person. Precisely because I am small, you always like to bully my family and relatives. This makes me very unhappy."

"You… you are the Little Divine Doctor?" Dong Hu guessed.

"You actually know me?" Zhu Yanyi pointed to herself, looking surprised. "I thought many had forgotten me after I disappeared for half a year. That is why you targeted my sister and nephew. Do you really think I, Zhu Yanyi, have a heart of Buddha?"

Dong Hu hurriedly said, "Miss Zhu, I really didn’t mean it. I know I was wrong. Please be generous and spare my family."

Dong Hu’s wife, looking disheveled, spoke up. "Miss Zhu, our old Dong never intended to be enemies with you. Really, he didn’t."

"You didn’t intend to, but you did it," Zhu Yanyi said coldly. "Tell me honestly, where did you get the Ice Silk Gu?"

"What Ice Silk Gu?" Dong Hu and her wife looked confused. However, the Dong daughter looked panicked, her eyes darting around.

Zhu Yanyi walked up to the Dong daughter. "It seems Miss Dong knows about the Ice Silk Gu."

"What Ice Silk Gu? I don’t know. I’ve never heard of it. Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t harm their son." This was a classic case of admitting guilt without being beaten.

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "You don’t know?" She nodded, then kicked the woman into the corner. As she fell, she coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhu Yanyi showed no pity. "You say you don’t know, yet you mentioned the Ice Silk Gu was placed on my nephew. Do you think I am a fool?"

She walked over and grabbed the woman’s hair. "Speak. Who gave you the Ice Silk Gu?"

"Re… no one gave it to me," the Dong daughter answered stubbornly.

Zhu Yanyi let go of her hair and clapped her hands. "I don’t like using force on people, and neither do I with you. But I do use medicine. Since you know I am the Little Divine Doctor, you should have heard I am an all-around doctor. I can practice medicine, make drugs, and research medical equipment."

Zhu Yanyi took out a bottle of powder. "Now let me introduce a drug I made early on, called Truth Powder. Anyone who takes this powder will confess everything without me needing to interrogate them."

She took out a small bottle, opened it, and held the woman’s chin. With a slight pressure on the jaw joint, the woman’s mouth opened involuntarily. Zhu Yanyi poured the powder in, closed her mouth, and the powder quickly turned into liquid, entering her stomach.

Zhu Yanyi waited for the right time before speaking. "Speak. Where did the Ice Silk Gu come from?"

"It came from a sorcerer in Country T. I met him while traveling there during the Spring Festival the year before last. He gave it to me, saying it could make someone a fool without dying. I didn’t intend to kill the child. I just wanted Seventh Master to think his wife was a hidden invalid, so their child would be born a natural fool. Then they would divorce, and I could marry Seventh Master. Only someone like me deserves him."

The Dong daughter chattered on. Zhu Yanyi’s only feeling was that there were truly many terrible women in the world. She had met another one today.

"Tell me the sorcerer’s address," Zhu Yanyi said.

"That sorcerer is also Chinese. He just went there to study. He has returned to China and lives among a minority group in Yunnan Province. He is said to be a shaman doctor there."

The Dong daughter then rattled off the sorcerer’s name, contact information, and phone number.

Watching this, Dong Hu sweated profusely. A chill rose from her heart. She had never heard of such methods from Zhu Yanyi, but seeing them now, she understood why people in the capital feared the Little Divine Doctor. It was not just her medical skills, but also her mysterious and unpredictable use of drugs.

After the Dong daughter finished, Zhu Yanyi said, "My sister and brother-in-law told me they hope your family suffers more than death and reaps what you have sown. I agreed."

She took out a box containing two pills. "Miss Dong, you coveted my brother-in-law and harmed my sister and nephew. This pill is for you. Dong Hu, you failed to teach your daughter properly, which is a great sin. This other pill is for you."

She then looked at Dong Hu’s wife and son. "Don’t worry. Your wife and son also have their own pills. I am a fair person. I will not let any of you four feel wronged."
