After Old Lady Su's funeral, Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi returned to Hua City, while Professor Ming stayed behind.
The number of people afflicted by the Poisonous Insect Poison in G City kept increasing, with He Zhendong's calls for help to Lu Han coming one after another, sounding like death knells.
Even though the Detox Pills had been effective, the poisoner showed no sign of relenting; one person recovered, and another fell ill. He Zhendong was completely overwhelmed and desperately needed Lu Han's assistance.
Having discussed with Professor Ming, Lu Han decided to send friends with his Detox Pills to support He Zhendong. One such friend, Li Xuan, would be sufficient to calm He Zhendong's frantic heart.
On this side, the explanation to the friends was that Tang Su was pregnant, less than three months along, and not in stable condition, so Lu Han needed to stay in Beijing to take care of her.
