C81 – The Melodramatic Plot! A Nightmare!

“What?”

Jiang Hao was taken aback.

But the shock quickly morphed into solemnity.

“It looks like my hunch was right!”

“He must be from some secretive organization. He feared the police would uncover his secrets after I called them, which is why he took his own life!”Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

“But what secret could be so dire that he’d forsake his life over it?”

Jiang Hao’s mind swirled with questions.

Just then, a series of knocks on the door jolted him from his reverie.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Hao, everything okay?”

Jiang’s mother’s voice, tinged with concern, came from outside.

Jiang Hao hurried to his feet, straightened himself out, and opened the door, feigning nonchalance.

“Mom, what is it?”

Seeing Jiang Hao acting as if all was well, Jiang’s mother appeared slightly confused but didn’t press further.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to tell you dinner’s ready. You and Zixuan should eat. I’m going to check if your father has packed up the stall.”

“Got it!”

Jiang Hao responded, then let out a silent sigh.

Yet, despite his carefulness, Jiang’s mother was still awakened.

She emerged from her bedroom, looking puzzled, and upon seeing Jiang Hao, expressed her concern.

“Hao, what’s the matter?”

Jiang Hao, seeing that he had disturbed his mother, wore a look of regret.

“Mom, it’s nothing. I just can’t seem to fall asleep.”

“Can’t sleep?”

“What’s the matter? Should I find you a couple of pills?”

Jiang Hao was about to decline when Jiang’s mother, wearing a face full of worry, had already gone to fetch the medication.

In no time, she returned with a bottle of Anshensan Pills.

“Hao, these are the pills your dad bought last time he couldn’t sleep. They shouldn’t be expired. Check the instructions—how many do you need to take?”

Jiang Hao accepted the bottle from his mother and hurriedly replied.

“Mom, you go back to sleep. I’ll look at the instructions myself.”

“Alright then, just make sure you take the medicine.”

With that, Jiang’s mother turned and left.

Watching his mother depart, Jiang Hao carried the water and medicine back to his bedroom.

Once back in his room, he examined the bottle in his hand and murmured.

“I wonder if they’ll actually work.”

He then opened the bottle and located the instruction manual.

“Take once a day, fifteen pills at a time.”
