    As Lu Miao took a few steps forward, she noticed an elderly woman copsing unconscious by the side of the road. People around were pointing and discussing the situation but hesitated to approach, fearing they would be framed for causing the incident.


    After all, in this day and age, even offering help required considering the potential legal consequences.


    As Lu Miao approached, maneuvering through the crowd, a young man reached out and grabbed her arm. “Don’t help her. You might end up being falsely usedter.”


    “Yeah,st year, my family member helped an old man on the road, and the man insisted that he was hit by him. There was no surveince footage to prove otherwise, and he ended up paying several thousand yuan inpensation,” another woman chimed in, offering her support.


    “I saw it just now, and no one or any vehicle touched her. She fell on her own. This old woman might be a professional fraudster. Usually, they work in groups, and their aplices could be hiding nearby. Once you go to help, they will immediately use you of causing the ident,” a bystander exined.


    “That’s right. There are too many bad people these days,” echoed the crowd, engaging in a lively discussion.


    Lu Miao raised her hand and pointed to the surveince camera overhead. “It’s okay; there’s a surveince camera here.”


    With that, she walked forward determinedly, bending down to offer her assistance. However, to her surprise, she recognized the familiar face of the elderly woman—it was Grandma Gu!


    Grandma Gu, who had a distinguished status, would usually have a driver and caretakers apanying her whenever she went out. Where had they all gone, leaving her alone to copse on the roadside?


    Lu Miao nced around, surveying the area. Besides the onlookers, she couldn’t spot Grandma Gut s car or any apanying personnel.


    After a moment of hesitation, Lu Miao extended her hand and checked


    Grandma Guts pulse on her wrist. Then, she examined her physical condition.


    There were no visible injuries; it seemed to be a fainting spell caused by low blood sugar.


    Grandma Gu was trembling slightly, her face pale, devoid of any color, with


    beads of sweat forming on her forehead.


    If Shen Qinghe and the Gu brothers treated her the same way the Lu family did, Lu Miao would have turned around without hesitation and left.


    However, Shen Qinghe and the others had always been kind to her. Even for the sake of Gu Shiyan and Gu Ziheng, she couldn’t let someone die before her eyes without helping.


    Lu Miao turned around and addressed the onlookers. “She’s suffering from low blood sugar, not faking an ident. Does anyone have any sugar on them?”


    Hearing this, the onlookers felt relieved. The woman who had advised her earlier immediately took out a lollipop from her bag and handed it to Lu Miao. “This is meant for my grandson. Will this work?”


    Lu Miao took it gratefully, saying, “Yes, thank you. Everyone, please step back a bit and call an ambnce.”


    Quickly unwrapping the lollipop, she held Grandma Gu’s cheeks and inserted it into her mouth.


    Then, she removed her backpack, took out her acupuncture tools, and started needling the Renzhong, Baihui, Zusanli, and Neiguan points.


    Gradually, Grandma Gu’s trembling subsided, and her pulse stabilized.


    Fortunately, they weren’t far from the city center, and the onlookers had immediately called for an ambnce upon hearing Lu Miao’s instructions.


    The ambnce arrived quickly.


    Lu Miao removed the needles from Grandma Gu ts body and assisted in lifting her onto the


    ambnce.


    What she didn’t see was that Grandma Gu had already opened her eyes when they were cing her onto the ambnce.


    Back home, Gu Jinxi hadn’t returned yet, so Lu Miao went straight to No. 9 Manor.


    Opening the refrigerator, she took out the Starfall Herb.


    First, she separated half of the nt, and then took out the other prepared herbs, carefully proportioning them and cing them together in the alchemy apparatus.


    This was a life-saving substance at a critical moment, and there couldn’t be the slightest mistake.


    She stared at the apparatus, never looking away until the pills were formed. She quickly took out the prepared medicine bottle and carefully stored the pills, finally letting out a sigh of relief.


    Afterpleting all of this, Lu Miao looked at the remaining half of the herb with curiosity.


    What was the growth principle behind this thing?


    Could it really not be artificially cultivated?


    This time, she was lucky to have encountered a meteor shower and a falling meteor, allowing her to luckily obtain a nt.


    But what if she needed it again in the future?


    After some thought, she cut a small piece from the root and ced it in the apparatus.


    Then she plucked a few leaves and went to the third-floor temperature-controlled cultivation room. She simted various nt growth environments and ced the meteorite aside.


    To her surprise, the leaves quickly withered upon contact with the nutrient soil and water, despite the meteorite being nearby.


    After pondering, Lu Miao spected that the Starfall Herb might have been brought over from space by the meteorite. Perhaps it had already begun to develop in space, which allowed it to grow so rapidly uponnding.


    She decided to try simting a vacuum environment.


    Although it would be troublesome, it was an investment for herself as well. Once she seeded in cultivation, she would have exclusive control, and anyone who needed it would have to buy it from her.


    However, the current locationcked the necessary conditions and equipment for simting a vacuum.


    She immediately took out her phone and ordered a set of vacuum simtion equipment and various testing devices online.


    Afterward, she took a tour around the house.


    Since Gu Shiyan had finished remodeling this ce, every space had been utilized perfectly, leaving no extra room.


    She had originally thought of buying another set at Lingyue Manor, but there were only twelve houses in total, and those who could buy houses here were notcking in money. It was unlikely anyone would sell their property any time soon.


    However, if the vacuumboratory were too far away, it would be inconvenient.


    Lu Miao simply made a phone call to a real estate agency and selected arger house in the nearest vi area to Lingyue Manor.


    Without hesitation, she paid the down payment and arranged to handle the paperwork the next day at noon.


    Afterpleting all of this, Lu Miao cheerfully hummed a song as she returned to the No. 7 Manor.


    With the incident involving Grandma Gu, Gu Shiyan and Gu Jinxi had probably already received the call and rushed over. It was unlikely they woulde back tonight.


    Lu Miao had dinner, went upstairs, finished her homework, and then took out her third-year college textbook to study for a while.


    Suddenly, her phone rang, and she reached out to answer it.


    “Boss, Qin Shuang called me and asked if you have an antidote for love charm,” came the voice on the other end.


    A smirk tugged at the corner of Lu Miao’s lips. “I do. As long as there’s money, I have everything. If I don’t have it, I’ll create it for her. Tell her to add another 5 million!”


    When it came to the Lu family, she showed no mercy. Adding it all up, it was only 20 million yuan, which was too littlepared to what they had done to this body!


    “Alright.”


    Just as Lin Bufan hung up the phone, Lu Miao’s phone rang again.


    ncing at the name on the screen, she answered the call directly.


    A helpless voice came through the phone, “I have to ask, have you offended someone recently?”
