After a medical examination, the doctor found that Su Nian was only shocked, not bitten by a snake. She simply needed some rest and emotional calmness.
The doctor, after some consultation, prescribed Su Nian some sedatives, then left.
Zheng Haoyu felt as if his heart had thumped back into place; he exhaled heavily and collapsed onto the sofa.
He couldn't understand how a snake had found its way into the bathroom during the mere minute or two that separated him and Su Nian's entrance?
Manager Zhang was equally baffled. After reviewing the surveillance footage around the bamboo house, he found that Su Nian's arrival had been sudden and unexpected. Any plot against her would have required detailed foresight.
No irregularities showed up within the surveillance footage of the last three days: apart from daily cleaning, no individual had entered the bamboo house. The tea house staff was beyond reproach, unlikely to do anything nefarious during their cleaning routine.
