Prey

My little uncle coaxed her. "We've found her. We'll talk later. Let's send Mr. Lin out first."

"Oh. Goodbye, Mr. Lin," Mai Qi said as she turned around. She pushed my little uncle out while she returned to my bedside.

Lin Hua looked at Mai Qi with a meaningful smile.

Mai Qi held my hand and said with a pained expression, "How could this happen? When we turned around, you instantly got into trouble."

I frowned. "I didn't expect that they would use such a despicable method."

Mai Qi came to a realization. "That's not right. Why would they poison you? If they killed you, they would lose the Phoenxi Blood too. Maybe the culprit didn't want to kill you or it might not be for the Phoenix Blood."

I looked at Mai Qi and nodded. "That makes sense. We should investigate!"

"Okay!" Mai Qi got up and walked out.

"Mai Qi!" I stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Mai Qi turned around to look at me.
