Chapter 1831: Uncle Drank This Tea Before Too

Every sip was fresh and gave Qu Xiujie a huge impact on his taste buds. He had already drunk half of the cup of tea and Ji Ziming leaned on the sofa as he watched Qu Xiujie drink the new tea with a gentle expression.
“How is it?”
Ji Ziming asked after Qu Xiujie had drunk most of it.
“Not bad, it’s so special, even more special than what I’ve drunk before. What tea is this, is it the new tea you created?”
Qu Xiujie put down the teacup and looked at the green tea leaves in the white porcelain cup. They were no different from ordinary tea leaves.
“Uncle, if you think it’s not bad, bring some back to drink. As long as you want to drink, I’ll always prepare it for you. How about it?”
Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes and looked into Qu Xiujie’s eyes. “As for the name of this new tea and where did I get it from, uncle, don’t ask for the time being. When the identity of this tea is known, I will naturally let you know.”
“But this tea is so familiar.”
Qu Xiujie frowned slightly. This feeling was familiar and he had tasted this flavour somewhere else before.
“Oh? Uncle drank this tea before? This tea was given to me by an old man.”
Qu Xiujie pursed his thin lips and his eyes turned cold gradually.
“Since you said that you don’t want me to ask, then I won’t ask. It’s just that this tea is too special. Every sip is filled with bitterness, and the next sip is exceptionally sweet.”
Qu Xiujie looked at the porcelain cup. The small tea leaves were lying quietly in the porcelain cup. The dark green tea leaves matched the interior of the white porcelain cup very well and looked especially fresh.
“Alright, since you’ve drunk the tea, let’s talk about what we know.”
Ji Ziming straightened his posture and said solemnly, “Uncle, you were the one who sent Old master Qu to the hospital, right?”
“Yes, I was in Qu family’s study room with him at that time. Why? Right, what did the doctor say?”
Ever since Qu Xiujie returned from the hospital, he did not know how Old master Qu’s condition was and whether Old lady Qu was really taking good care of him.
“My doctor told me that Old master Qu might have been poisoned by someone during his normal diet. This kind of poison is slowly infiltrated and one won’t be able to notice anything in a short period of time so it won’t take his life very quickly. However, according to the information I obtained, no one in Qu family knows Old master Qu’s condition better than Old lady Qu, right?”
When Ji Ziming said this, Qu Xiujie sat on the sofa in a daze for a few seconds.
“You said that Old lady Qu poisoned that old man?”
Qu Xiujie placed the porcelain cup back on the table, unwilling to believe everything.
Although he did not think highly of Old lady Qu and knew that she had ulterior motives for staying by Old master Qu’s side, he did not expect this woman to be so bold as to take Old master Qu’s life. This was the biggest exclusive news.
“Isn’t this old woman’s heart too dark? How could someone who has lived with her for so many years bear to kill her?”
Qu Xiujie slammed the table and it made a loud noise. The people in the living room were looking at each other.
“The most important thing now is not to figure out why Old lady Qu poisoned Old master Qu. There’s an even more troublesome problem before us.”
“What question? What question could be more cruel than this?”
Qu Xiujie looked up at Ji Ziming and asked.
“My doctor told me that the reason why this medicine did not take effect so quickly was because it lacked a catalyst. Once the catalyst was taken, Old master Qu would probably be powerless to reverse the situation. That would be even more cruel.”
Ji Ziming said softly and Qu Xiujie, who was sitting opposite him, was shocked speechless.
“So, you’re saying that this vicious woman will drug the old man again?”
“Yes, but we don’t know when he will take the catalyst.”
Ji Ziming revealed the crux of the problem and it was not impossible to find a solution.
“The old man is lying in the hospital right now, and this old woman is probably taking care of him every step of the way. If she had drugged him, we wouldn’t know, and neither would the old man. If something really happened to the old man, the best way would be to push the blame to your hospital. Not only would it create a storm of public opinion, but it would also allow her to extort a considerable sum of money.”
Qu Xiujie’s analysis was very thorough.
“That’s why I came to look for you. I can’t stop this from happening, but I’m certain that Old lady Qu won’t make a move in the next few days.”
Ji Ziming was confident and his eyes reflected Pei Ge’s figure.
“How did you know?”
Qu Xiujie did not understand what Ji Ziming was planning.
“Because it’s Old master Qu’s birthday in a few days. Other than Old master Qu’s birthday celebration, Old master Qu also invited many wealthy families in the capital to attend. I will be there and Ge Ge will be there too. Old master Qu’s motive is very obvious. He wants to rope in investors from all sides to support the Qu family.”
Ji Ziming revealed Old master Qu’s plan and looked at Qu Xiujie before continuing, “Uncle, do you want to go to the hospital to visit Old master Qu? I heard from the hospital that if not for you, Old master Qu might have already died.”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled up slightly as his eyes turned cold.
“No, why should I go? I quarreled with him from Qu family all the way to the hospital. It would be bad if so many people were to watch us quarrel. I won’t go.”
Qu Xiujie quickly shook his head, unwilling to step into that woman’s territory.
“Uncle, how about coming with me?”
Ji Ziming leaned against the chair and looked into Qu Xiujie’s eyes as he continued, “I brought a gift for Old master Qu to visit. In my hospital, no matter what, my Ji family has to be a good host.”
“You’re going to see him? Why are you going to see him? Didn’t you say that he would be fine for the time being? Since you don’t have anything to do, then don’t go and see him. You’re only making things worse for yourself.”
Qu Xiujie looked elsewhere at the mural not far away from him.
“Uncle, if you really don’t want to go, I won’t stop you. It’s fine as long as you don’t regret it. I, Ji Ziming, have never felt that you really hate Old master Qu. I think that when you left the Qu family, you must have already thought of how to go back, right?”
