Chapter 2417 — Xiao Shu's Excuse
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh?" Yu Yi started slightly, then nodded and listened to the recording on Shen Yushu's phone.
"Xiao Shu, what are you doing? It's the middle of the night — why aren't you asleep? What are you doing in my room? What's that on the floor? A knife? Don't tell me you're here to kill me?" From Shen Yushu's phone came Wei Zhao's voice.
"I... I... Yes, what am I doing? Oh... I know! Xiao Shu was sleepwalking... Just now, Xiao Shu was dreaming, dreaming that there was a little monster in Brother Jianpai's room, so Xiao Shu ran over to help Brother Jianpai fight the monster..." That was Shen Yushu's voice.
"Sleepwalking? You have that problem too?" Wei Zhao's voice.
"Oh, yes, Xiao Shu seems to have a little problem. Her body's had a bit of trouble since she was small. Brother Jianpai, won't you take a look for me? Aren't you a miracle doctor?" Shen Yushu's voice.
"All right, Xiao Shu, you're not ill. And your sleep should be very sound — theoretically, sleepwalking shouldn't be possible for you. What's more, the chicken-leg rice we had tonight contained a drug called Resting Grass. This herb calms the spirit and quietens the heart. Once you've taken it, never mind sleepwalking — you might not even be able to get up to use the toilet. It's not impossible you'd wet the bed outright!" Wei Zhao's voice.
"Ah... what Resting Grass..." Shen Yushu's voice.
"You don't know it?" Wei Zhao's voice.
"I... Xiao Shu doesn't know anything..." Shen Yushu's voice.
"Xiao Shu, do you suspect you're ill?" Wei Zhao's voice.
"Maybe I am... Brother Jianpai, have you just woken up? Did I wake you?" Shen Yushu's voice.
There was no more — Shen Yushu had cut it off. But this recording was already enough to prove that Wei Zhao had not been affected by the Resting Grass. More than that, he had already begun to suspect Shen Yushu.
After hearing the recording, Yu Yi's expression was noticeably darker than before. He had harbored some doubts about Shen Yushu's words, but now his doubts were gone. He could recognize Wei Zhao's voice, and since Wei Zhao could name the Resting Grass outright, he clearly had his guard up. It seemed Wei Zhao was not only formidable as a **, but outstanding in the medical arts as well.
"I told you, Wei Zhao isn't so easy to deal with. I nearly exposed myself. If we provoke him and he storms the Yu family, who can bear that responsibility?" Shen Yushu asked. "Even if the Yu family has someone behind it, what good is revenge against Wei Zhao once all of you are dead?"
"This is a grave matter. I must consult the head of the family..." Yu Yi was silent for a moment, then pushed the car door open and stepped out, whereupon he dialed the Yu family's ancestral elder.
Only when she saw Yu Yi go off to make his call did Shen Yushu let out a long breath of relief. Her heart still pounding, she thought to herself: Brother Jianpai, this is all the time Xiao Shu can buy for you. I hope you'll train hard as soon as you can...
Yu Yi was on the phone for a full twenty minutes before he pushed the car door open and got back in.
