The only few people she could think of were: Han Xue? Lin Ziya? The stall owners at the market whom she used to argue with?
However, these people didnât like her but there wasnât any deep-seated enmity between them.
âHave you managed to come up with any names, Madam He?â the police officer asked.
He Xiyan shook her head since she couldnât provide any names without any conclusive evidence.
âWait a minute. Sir, you said that their intent might be to cause me harm but the knife he attacked me with looked like a fruit knife and he had only injured my hand. No matter how you look at it, his actions would not have inflicted a fatal injury. If he had truly wanted to kill me, he wouldnât have chosen such a method,â she said.
She didnât think that the man who attacked her intended to kill her.
The police officer nodded and naturally, they were aware of this.
âThis is what we find odd as well. That man only seemed intent on hurting you, and his intention didnât seem to be robbing you or causing you any other forms of harm. Madam He, why donât you go to a hospital to do a blood test to check if everything is normal? You could also use the chance to check if you have been poisoned.â
He Xiyan immediately turned pale when she heard the police officerâs words and she looked very surprised. Was the police officer suggesting that the man might have tried to poison her?
âDo you really think that he might have wanted to poison me?â she asked those two police officers incredulously.
âThis is merely our speculation. Madam He, I think you should still head to the hospital for a check-up. Hopefully, there is nothing out of the ordinary but please do contact us if there are any issues flagged in your report. We will be in touch with you if there are any new developments,â the police officer said.
He Xiyan suddenly felt as though a large rock was pressing down on her chest.
The police officerâs words terrified her. It would be really frightening if the man had truly intended to poisoning.
She immediately drove toward the nearest hospital after she left the police station.
She registered as a regular patient and requested for a regular health screening, including a blood test, an antibodies test, urinalysis, and other regular health screening checks. These checks would be able to determine whether she was currently healthy.
She didnât feel so frightened after she drew her blood because she remembered that her hand had been slashed nine days ago. If the blade had indeed been coated with poison, the poison would have manifested and she would have been dead already. However, she was still feeling perfectly fine and she didnât feel sick at all.
The results were ready in an hourâs time. She took a look at the results and went to consult a doctor after she glanced at the report and didnât find anything unusual.
âYour screening results are normal. Donât worry, thereâs no need to fret,â the doctor said as he looked at He Xiyan. He didnât understand why this woman looked so frightened since there wasnât anything unusual in her screening report.
He Xiyan kept the screening report and walked out of the clinic.
She finally relaxed.
She decided to think of that incident as an unfortunate accident when she had been injured by a mental patient.
There was no need to worry so much about a hooligan. In any case, he had already left the country, so it seemed unlikely that the police would be able to catch him.
She only reached home when dusk fell.
Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi received many presents as it was childrenâs day today.
These presents were all mailed to the castle and the two children tore open the wrapping paper in excitement.
Xi Xi had already unwrapped five presents. One present was from Shu Man while the other was from her aunt on the paternal side. She couldnât remember who had sent the other three presents but they were her relatives on the paternal side.
