Liu Xin felt that something was wrong, but Tong Bin said that he was injured in his thigh, so she couldn’t bend down to take a look. She could only turn to look at Shi Man in surprise. “What did you do?”

Shi Man put on a speechless expression and rolled her eyes. “Do you all have persecutory delusions? His leg might be hurting because of his arthritis. What has it got to do with me?”

“You!” Ever since Liu Xin became a leader, it had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to her like this. She was so angry that she almost threw the hot tea that had just been poured.

Tong Bin pressed her wrist and let go in an instant. He gave her a calm look. “Shi Man, in the army, the higher-ups have absolute leadership over the lower-ups. You’ve already violated military discipline by talking to the teachers and leaders like this today. Since you’re still a student, I’ll punish you with a small punishment. You’ll be punished to run three kilometers on the training ground with weights. You’re not allowed to eat until you finish running!”

A trace of smugness flashed across Liu Xin’s eyes. She thought to herself that her uncle had many ways to restrain Shi Man in one go.

She raised the corners of her eyes, wanting to see Shi Man make a fool of herself. Unexpectedly, Shi Man was still calm and did not say much to Tong Bin.

Tong Bin’s expression was extremely cold. It was not good for him to touch the sore spot in front of Shi Man. That would make him look very embarrassed. He could not let Shi Man stand there and look at him, so he could only send her away.

After Shi Man turned around and left expressionlessly, he quietly reached under the table and touched his stinging knee.

It didn’t matter if he touched it. He didn’t expect to touch a silver needle. On closer look, the tip of the needle was even slightly green.

This wretched girl actually dared to poison him!

Tong Bin’s expression darkened. He stood up and looked at the training ground outside the window with a cold expression. Indeed, he did not see Shi Man.

He wanted to get someone to get Shi Man to run, but ever since the silver needle was pulled out, his knee felt swollen and uncomfortable. Shi Man had poisoned him somehow, and he did not want to offend her rashly. Otherwise, if this crazy girl really fell out with him, his leg would probably not be cured.

He had to find the doctor to see if he could detoxify the poison before considering if he should deal with Shi Man.

The group had been sitting in the private room for an hour, but Liu Xin did not touch her chopsticks. No one dared to reach out to pick up food first. Seeing that the food on the table had already turned cold, another teacher’s stomach could not help but rumble.

Hearing this awkward sound, Liu Xin’s expression instantly turned cold. She walked to the window and stood side by side with Tong Bin. She looked up worriedly and asked, “Uncle, is your leg really fine? Shi Man didn’t listen to you and accept her punishment. Do you want someone to capture her to the training ground?”

Tong Bin raised his hand to stop her from speaking. He returned to his seat with a solemn expression. “Let’s eat first.”

This time, those who wanted to flatter Liu Xin did not dare to make a sound. The group ate exceptionally quietly. It was not easy for them to last until the afternoon. They could finally return to their classes to teach the students.

To them, teaching the students for a day was probably not as tiring as those two hours in the afternoon.

After school in the afternoon, Tong Bin indeed found the door of the class personally and called Shi Man into the office to talk. Naturally, Tong Su, who had a pale face, came with her.

Behind the door of the office, Tong Bin grabbed Shi Man’s collar with a ferocious expression. The man was very strong, but if not for the fact that Shi Man did not want to dodge, she would not have been easily restrained by him.

Now that he had touched her collar, she was just teasing him.

Tong Bin did not know this. He lowered his voice and questioned Shi Man fiercely, “What poison did you poison me with?”

Tong Su looked up in disbelief, her pale face turning even uglier. “You poisoned my father?”

Shi Man glanced at her and smiled indifferently. “What poison? Principal Tong, are you joking with me?”

Tong Su immediately clenched her fists and frowned at her father. “Dad, are you really poisoned? Could there be a misunderstanding?”

That night, she was taken away by Shi Mu with An Ning. She thought that she would be treated cruelly, but what awaited her was a pill the size of a fingernail.

Shi Man had personally handed the medicine to the two of them. It was a very rare poison. Even the skilled private doctor at home could not diagnose it.

However, only the person who was poisoned knew the pain when the poison acted up.

At that time, Tong Su would rather die than eat that pill, so Shi Man pried open their mouths and poured it in. After that, she even promised them sympathetically that as long as they did not tell anyone about this, she would get someone to send the antidote to them regularly.

It would take three years for the poison to be truly dissipated in their bodies. Shi Man had considered the time for graduation and did not want the two of them to cause trouble for her again.

If not for the fact that they could not remove the poison in private, she would not have to suffer so much!

Shi Man had also promised that she would not implicate their families that night.. Was she going to go back on her word in the blink of an eye? Just because Cousin had joined forces with her father to target her in the afternoon?
