Tong Bin continued to interrogate Shi Man about what poison she had poisoned his leg with a cold expression, but Shi Man insisted that she did not do anything.

Tong Bin could not do anything to her.

In the afternoon, he went to see the doctor alone, but the four or five famous doctors who diagnosed him all said that he was not poisoned.

However, the bone-piercing pain in his knee was real. He knew better than anyone that Shi Man must have done something to his leg.

He was not a patient and good-tempered principal. If Shi Man was so stubborn and unruly, there was really no need for him to tolerate her on account of Chief Lu.

If he continued to endure it, Shi Man would one day poison him to death!

With this thought in mind, Tong Bin gritted his teeth and let go. He reached out to tug at the tie on his chest and pointed in the direction of the door. “Tong Su, go out first.”

“Dad!” Tong Su exclaimed worriedly. She looked at her father and then at Shi Man. She did not know if she was worried about Tong Bin or if she was worried that Shi Man would refuse to give her the antidote the next time the poison acted up.

The pain of the body could indeed make people submit temporarily.

Although Tong Su wished she could tear Shi Man apart now, no matter how much she hated her, she could not make things difficult for her body. She had to live in peace with Shi Man for the next three years. This way, when her poison was cured three years later, she would be able to deal with Shi Man at ease.

A piercing pain appeared on Tong Bin’s leg again. He pointed fiercely in the direction of the door and urged again, “Get out! No one can come in without my permission!”

Tong Su had always been afraid of her father. At this moment, she did not dare to say anything. She only timidly threw Shi Man an aggrieved expression and turned to leave the principal’s office. However, driven by curiosity, she leaned against the door, wanting to know if Shi Man had broken her promise and attacked her father.

Shi Man glanced at the door from the corner of her eye and knew that Tong Su was eavesdropping and had not gone far.

She raised her eyebrows calmly and smiled. “Principal Tong, you really don’t have to be so agitated. I really didn’t poison you.”

“If you didn’t poison me, why is my knee hurting from noon until now?” Tong Bin roared at her.

In the end, he remembered that it was not honorable for him, as the principal, to be poisoned by the new transfer student. He lowered his voice and threatened, “I advise you to give me the antidote as soon as possible.

Otherwise, my forces in the capital are complicated. It will be easy to deal with you.”

Shi Man casually walked to the sofa and sat down. She crossed her legs and looked back at him casually. “Then go ahead and try. Let’s see if you can find the antidote from me before I die.”

Tong Bin frowned inexplicably, as if he had never seen such a fearless female student. The anger in his heart instantly swelled to the extreme. “I’m warning you for the last time. Give me the antidote. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Shi Man shook her head helplessly. Under Tong Bin’s increasingly sinister gaze, she said calmly, “Why don’t you believe me after saying it so many times?

1 really didn’t poison you. The pain in your knee has nothing to do with me.” “Then who does it have to do with?” Tong Bin wanted to tear Shi Man apart immediately. He would see if she could still be arrogant.

Unfortunately, what he did not know was that she had obtained the silver needle from Chu Yue. Even if she had smeared some poison on it, it was Chu Yue who had poisoned it. It had nothing to do with her.

Shi Man pursed her lips and pondered for a moment. In the blink of an eye, a smile returned to her face. “I really don’t know how to cure this poison, because 1 got this silver needle from Chu Yue. If you have any questions, you can ask her directly.”

“Chu Yue?” The principal frowned and stared at her suspiciously. “Why is Instructor Chu’s silver needle in your hand?”

“Then you’ll have to ask her.” Shi Man shrugged casually. She stood up and casually tidied the creases at the bottom of her clothes, leaving him with one last smile. “She personally gave me this needle when I was in G City. If she doesn’t admit it, it means that she doesn’t want to help you detoxify it. It has nothing to do with me.”

“You!” Tong Bin stared at her back as she was about to turn around and leave. He said coldly, “Don’t forget that you’re still studying under me. If you dare to lie to me, I won’t let you off.”

Shi Man sneered and did not look at him again. She put away the smile on her face and left the office.

In the corridor, Tong Su heard the commotion inside and hurriedly stood up straight. She took a big step back and stood against the wall. A pair of deeply puzzled eyes still betrayed her.

Shi Man stood in front of her kindly. A hint of scheming flashed across her beautiful eyes. In the next second, her smile became amiable again. “Chu Yue instructed you to target me, right? But she was the one who gave me the silver needle that injured your father today.. How should we reconcile this?”
