Chapter 3400: Master Wang Was Almost Jealous
"Hm?"
The redness at the corners of Ye Wangchuan's eyes had yet to fade, making him look even better. He was like a demon, seducing people to commit crimes.
Qiao Nian only took a glance before retracting her gaze. She coughed awkwardly and touched the bridge of her nose before lowering her eyes. "Alright, actually, I'm in a bad mood."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, she had never thought of molesting him to vent her bad mood.
Ye Wangchuan sat up straight; the dark sweater looked different on him. "Why are you in a bad mood? What happened?"
Qiao Nian rubbed her eyebrows. She subconsciously did not want to say anything, but after a pause, when she looked at him, her frustration did not seem that deep anymore.
"Elder Zhong called me. Ji Lingfeng seems to be very sick. It's even more serious than I imagined. However, it's hard to say now because even the Pharmacy Association isn't sure if the person who wants that medicine is him. I just have a feeling... that it's him."
"What medicine?"
Qiao Nian told him.
Then, she briefly explained the effect of this special medicine.
Later, she pursed her lips, and a cold and dry aura surrounded her. "Elder Zhong said he looked at that person's medical report and found they had been poisoned decades ago. It's a rare slow-acting poison. I heard someone mention it once in Continent F.
"This drug's specialty is that it's hidden deeply. Usually, unless the poison acts up, it's almost impossible to detect it.
"Once the poison takes effect, it means that the poison has already corroded the host's internal organs and the host is at the end of his life..."
Ye Wangchuan listened quietly. At this point, he solemnly asked, "What poison? Does it have a name?"
"Wasp." Qiao Nian searched her mind and gave him a name.
A wasp's stinger was the most poisonous to the heart!
Ye Wangchuan nodded slightly. He had taken out his cell phone at some point without her realizing. As he typed the message, he told her, "I'll get Mo Xi to check."
Dark Fort was the best place to investigate things in Continent F.
Actually, Daji could investigate too. However, he was in the diamond business. He could investigate the origins of weapons or the diamond mining industry, but he might not have as deep a contact with people of all walks of life nor as many connections and skills as Mo Xi.
"Mo Xi knows these things better. As long as there's a name, he has channels to investigate," Ye Wangchuan added, afraid she would be worried.
Qiao Nian sighed in relief.
Then, she put down the lighter and picked up her phone. "I'll ask Auntie Xie too."
Ji Nan didn't even know about Ji Lingfeng's situation. In fact, the possibility of Xie Tingyun knowing about Ji Lingfeng's situation was very small.
Qiao Nian only asked tentatively, without much hope.
After sending the message, she looked up and seemed to think of something. "The birthday party you mentioned just now..."
Mo Xi must have seen Ye Wangchuan's message, because he immediately called, probably wanting to ask about the specifics.
At her question, Ye Wangchuan naturally hung up on Mo Xi and looked up at her. "Mm? You're going?"
Qiao Nian didn't plan to go at first, but after some thought, she got up and walked to the computer. She threw the lighter on the table and turned to him. "I can't leave for three days, anyway. It's fine to go. By the way, what birthday gift should I prepare?"
Ye Wangchuan's original intention was to divert her attention. However, seeing that she really planned to go and was even preparing a birthday gift, the corners of his mouth twitched and he almost wanted to pull her back.
He said in a low voice, "No need, we'll give him one."
