After Wang Yue said that, Nie Xiguang thought he made a good point, so she called a friend back in her hometown of Wuxi to discreetly ask about the Qian family.
The incident had caused such a stir that many people near her grandfather's hometown knew about it!
So all Nie Xiguang had to do was ask around to learn that Qian Fangping had gambled on killing Dashun.
It turned out Qian Fangping had deliberately smeared some cephalosporin onto the food she cooked. Dashun had been in a hurry to drink and hadn't noticed the taste at all. After finishing the meal, he died!
