448: The culprit is caught?

The culprit is caught?

[Hey, what's wrong with you, little girl? What we said is clearly the truth!]

[That's right... By the way, now that we're trapped here, has anything been found?]

[We didn't think that this would happen. Besides, we didn't do anything to him.]

At that moment, Xi Ting and Qin Yan came out with a child in their arms. The child was wrapped in a blanket, and the exposed ankle was wrapped in gauze. The little bun was curled up in Qin Yan's embrace, while his little body shivered slightly.

They heard the child's whimper, "It hurts…"

"Bao Bao," Old Madam Xi suddenly stood up and widened her eyes in disbelief.

Everyone looked at the little one as if they had seen a ghost.

Was he really… alive?

Everyone had seen him die with their own eyes, and his body was also stiff.

How did she do it?

For a moment, everyone's eyes were burning as they quickly looked at Qin Yan. 

Who is this woman? This was the first thought that appeared in everyone's minds the moment they saw Xi Xiaobao being saved.

To be able to save a dead person, how much skill did that require?

This was different from those fake deaths they had heard about. They had seen Xi Xiaobao's heart stop beating and his body stiffen.

Qin Yan leaned against Xi Ting as she was very exhausted. However, at no time did she think of handing the little guy over to Xi Ting. She firmly held him in her arms as she didn't feel secure to let him go.

The little guy also rested peacefully on Qin Yan's shoulder. 

Xi Ting looked at his family who had heaved a sigh of relief, "Qin Yan and I will send Xiaobao to the hospital."

Then, he looked at the crowd and nodded, "The matter has not been fully investigated, so I cannot let everyone leave for the time being. Please wait for a moment, I will be back soon."

The surroundings were silent. Everyone was still in shock, so naturally, they would not protest. 

Xi Jung proceeded towards the old couple, "Grandpa, grandma, don't worry, little Xiaobao is fine now. You should go and rest. We will keep you updated."

The old couple also knew that they couldn't endure for the whole night. Instead, it would be a problem for Xi Ting if they too fell sick. So, they didn't make any fuss and quickly went to rest.

Father Xi and Madam Xi proceeded to the hospital with Xi Ting and Qin Yan. They knew that since Xi Ting and Qin Yan needed to come back to handle the mess, there should be someone from the family to take care of their little grandson. 

At this time, Madam Xi had the oddest look on her face. She was still in disbelief as Qin Yan, the same woman she had disdained for so long, had breathed life back into her beloved grandson. She saw not only the love Qin Yan had for her grandson but also the depth of her determination and her resourcefulness in the face of adversity. 

A single tear welled up in Madam Xi's eye, carrying with it the weight of her changing emotions. What was once a deep-seated resentment had transformed into an appreciation for the woman who had saved her family from the brink of despair.

In the hotel.

The people stared blankly at Xi Ting and Qin Yan's disappearing figure. Their mouth was opened in shock.

"Really…"

This was too unexpected.

"That's great! Luckily, he's fine!" Li Mei said happily.

She turned to look at Nei Mianmian and was stunned, "Sister Nei, aren't you happy? That child has come back to life! He's been saved!"

Nei Mianmian tightened her grip on her handbag and smiled lightly at the crowd, "Of course I'm happy. No one would want such an accident to happen, would they?"

Their eyes met. Nei Mianmian's expression was especially serious. 

Li Mei nodded in a daze, "Yes, yes. If he really couldn't be saved, then how sad would the Xi family be…"

She had spent half a day in the bathroom reapplying her makeup. She had no idea what happened after that. 

Now that she heard those people excitedly saying things like 'Miracle Doctor', she blinked and asked curiously, "Sister Nei, did you see what the miracle doctor looked like just now? Is she the one who saved the child?"

After that, she sighed and added, "She's really amazing!"

The smile on Nei Mianmian's lips stiffened, and she almost couldn't hold it anymore.

"I was standing outside and didn't see her."

She tried hard to suppress the intense unease in her heart and stood quietly by the side, not saying another word.

How could that be? That child was really out of danger. And Qin Yan was a miracle doctor?

She remembered the incident where her grandfather had a heart attack and Qin Yan had saved him. However, at that time, she thought that it was just a coincidence. Qin Yan was present at the spot back then and with her little knowledge, she would have helped a little. It was just because of her good luck that she got the credit for saving Old Master Nie.

Even a few minutes ago, she still thought that it was merely a coincidence...However, she was wrong!

The people around her were discussing about the matter fervently. 

[She's really a god!]

[What did you just say? A living god? She's definitely a god if she can bring someone back to life!]

[I wonder when the miracle doctor will be back. I want to ask her to save my mother.]

[Who wouldn't want to? She's so young and already has such brilliant medical skills. Her future is limitless!]

Nei Mianmian listened to the flattery of these people. The smile on her face was impeccable, but in fact, her teeth were almost crushed.

Why was Qin Yan's luck always so good?

In this world, regardless of whether it was the poor or the rich, they could not escape death.

If Qin Yan was really the miracle doctor, then based on these people who wanted to seek her treatment, how big of a network would she have?

Nei Mianmian began to doubt that she could ever see Qin Yan abandoned with nothing like she wanted to.  Her face felt like it had been slapped by an invisible hand, and it was burning with pain. 

Just as she was thinking about all this, a female bodyguard dressed in black walked over, "Hello, ladies, please cooperate with us."

The female bodyguard wore a mask and held something that looked like a detector in her hand. 

Nei Mianmian pursed her lips and was the first to step out, "Alright."

Li Mei looked at her and nodded.

Unsurprisingly, neither of them had any suspicious items on them. Then, they walked into the lounge together for the next step of inspection. After all, those who dared to poison the Xis wouldn't be so stupid as to still carry the drug with them.

"Thank you for your cooperation. You can move around freely now."

The woman smiled as she reached out her hand and watched Nei Mianmian walk out of the room.

Then, she walked to Li Mei's side, "Excuse me. Please let me check your handbag. I hope there is no problem?"1

"No, it's fine," Li Mei shook her head. It wasn't like she was the one who poisoned the child; she wasn't worried that it would be traced back to her. She stood quietly as her handbag was taken away.

The cosmetics inside were poured out and put back one by one. Even though she knew it had nothing to do with her, Li Mei still heaved a sigh of relief. But at this moment, when she picked up the last piece, the female bodyguard was stunned.

She frowned and looked at the small transparent container in her hand that was only the size of a fingernail. There seemed to be something sticky inside.

"Miss Li, may I ask what this is?" She raised the thing that looked like a fingernail and turned her head.

"Wh-what's that? I don't know, it isn't mine!"

Li Mei's relaxed expression suddenly became nervous when she saw the thing that didn't belong to her in the woman's hand.

She was at a loss and quickly waved her hand, "I really don't know. Did this… come out of my bag? How is this possible, what exactly is it?"

Li Mei was on the verge of breaking down. She was so nervous that her body was trembling. Just the thought of poisoning someone and almost causing the death of a child made her tremble with fear. She clearly didn't do it. Why would something strange like this appear in her bag?

"Miss Li, please calm down."

"It wasn't me. I really didn't do it. It wasn't me!"

Li Mei was so nervous that she couldn't listen to anyone. She was so scared that tears started to flow out of her eyes.
