She knew what it was like when a person’s drug addiction kicked in.

She did not want to be surrounded by strangers during such a difficult time.

Shen Jiao’s sense of security got worse after she was given a second chance to live again. She only trusted those who stood by her side and her loved ones who would never betray her, as well as lovers like Luo Yu.

Shen Xinghan thought for a long time and finally nodded in agreement.

“Okay, I’ll accompany you.”

He reached out his hand and gently stroked Shen Jiao’s head like when he was young. His eyes were filled with tears, but his tone was doting as if he was coaxing a child.

“No matter how difficult it is, I’ll always be by your side and accompany you through this difficult time.”

Shen Jiao smiled brightly. “I know. You’re the best.”

This was Shen Jiao’s confidence in her family.

She knew that no matter what happened, her family would always be her strongest support. When she needed help the most, they would appear by her side in time to support her.

Shen Zian quickly rushed back.

He was mature and did not like to talk much, compared to Shen Xinghan’s easygoing personality. Instead, he gave people a serious impression.

Shen Jiao was closer to Shen Xinghan than to him. However, she respected and loved her second brother in her heart.

Shen Zian walked forward to Shen Jiao.

“Second brother, you’re back?” Shen Jiao straightened her back and gave Shen Zian a cheerful smile, trying to stop him from worrying.

However, Shen Zian’s attitude was completely different from Shen Xinghan’s.

“You don’t have to comfort me. Since things have already happened, I came back to solve the problem.”

Although his tone was cold and somewhat formulaic, the way he looked at Shen Jiao had a gentleness that only the siblings could understand.

“With me here, I can promise you that nothing will happen to you.”

With that said, he turned around and went downstairs. Shen Jiao wanted to follow him but she was stopped by Shen Zian.

“Big brother, stay upstairs with Jiaojiao. Don’t let her come down.”

Shen Zian glanced at Shen Xinghan. Shen Xinghan understood and immediately stopped Shen Jiao. “Let’s stay here.”

“Why?”

Shen Jiao didn’t understand. She knew that Shen Zian was going to interrogate Madam Zhao and the others, but why couldn’t she watch during the interrogation process?

“Your second brother interrogated the prisoners using the military style. I’m afraid the interrogation process is not very elegant.” Shen Xinghan coughed and chose a euphemistic excuse.

Sure enough, not long after Shen Zian went down, there was a scream of horror from Madam Zhao downstairs.

The scream was very short. It only sounded for less than a second before it suddenly stopped. Then, it turned into intermittent sobs, as if someone had covered her mouth, and she deliberately could not make a sound.

Shen Jiao was very curious, and her heart itched when she heard it. She could not help but want to go down to take a look but was repeatedly stopped by Shen Xinghan.

In less than half an hour, Shen Zian walked up slowly and calmly.

“Madam Zhao has already admitted that she added a small amount of drugs to each of your three meals a day, so that you would unknowingly become addicted to drugs and eventually become an addict.”

“Yesterday, the reason why you lost control was that in order to get things done as soon as possible, she added more doses into the chicken soup. Moreover, you drank a few more bowls. This caused a change in your behavior, which was why this accident happened.”

Shen Zian lowered his head and tidied his sleeves, but every word that came out of his mouth was filled with a biting cold air.

“You’re really good.” Shen Xinghan gave Shen Zian a thumbs up. “Yesterday, my people couldn’t get this old woman to open her mouth. As soon as you came, she confessed everything..”
