Chapter 25 (2/2)

Her son was eating in such a hurry that suddenly, he began to grimace as a bean just happened to get stuck in his throat.

The woman immediately screamed in alarm and started to panic because she didn’t know what to do.

Her son’s face quickly turned a bluish-purple hue.

At that moment, a man broke through the door. It was the man in the black t-shirt from earlier.

He saw the situation in the house, and in seconds, as if he knew just what was going on, he slapped his palm on the child’s back with great force. With a “poof,” a bean popped out of his mouth.

“Phew–”

The child breathed in the fresh air and finally regained his strength.

The woman was crying hysterically. When she saw that her son was okay, she finally calmed herself down, and she thanked the man in the black t-shirt.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.”

Cao Yikai stood up. “No need to thank me. You should be glad I happened to be here, or your son would’ve been a goner.”

The sizes of different beans varied, and the woman didn’t know how to give first aid. This sort of suffocation caused death very quickly, and the child would’ve been lost if aid had been administered a little later.

The child kept coughing until he finally regained his vigor, and the aunt suddenly thought of something. She said with frustration, “It’s my fault. A young girl told me not to stir-fry beans for the child at noon, but I didn’t listen because I didn’t expect my child to experience such danger!”

Cao Yikai’s eyebrows twitched. “Auntie, what are you talking about?”

The auntie simply kept crying. “That girl told me not to stir-fry beans for the child…”

Cao Yikai was shocked. “How did she know beforehand that you shouldn’t let your child eat stir-fried beans?”

Reality also dawned on her. “Yeah, I didn’t know that girl, and I had the beans in the back room. How did she know that I had even bought beans?”

Because of this, she felt that the girl must have been talking nonsense.

That wasn’t the point. Cao Yikai’s sharp intuition made him realize that something was very wrong. “Was she right here?”
