Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 954: What Xiao Hei and Old Jin Saw (6)

Human trafficking, this was something that all the common folk of Xuanjin abhorred! Furthermore, Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, a reputable and conscientious company, had almost been tainted by him, pushing everyone’s anger and disgust towards Pei Wen to the breaking point!

Had it not been for police protection, Pei Wen might have been killed on the spot!

The police felt awkward too, as they had to protect such a vile beast of a man! So, the endearing officers took actions, intentionally going easy on the people, and Pei Wen ended up with a bruised and swollen face, barely breathing in and out.

"Uncle Tang, how are Pei Wen and Cai Ziyu doing?" After dinner, An Yiqing stood on the terrace making a phone call.

"Xiao Qing, don’t worry! My men have taken them back to the police station for strict surveillance! Not even a fly could get in," Tang Zhishan assured her over the phone, thumping his chest, "Haha, but that Pei Wen took quite a beating. By the time he got to the station, his face was already swollen. Hmph! That unscrupulous man got what he deserved! Qing Girl, come over tomorrow and help us find out who’s pulling the strings behind them!"

An Yiqing nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Tang. I’ll be there early tomorrow morning. By the way, I heard from Tingting that Tang Lin visited me a few days ago. Please tell him to focus on preparing for his exams as the finals are coming up. I’ll visit him at school once I’ve recovered."

Originally, An Yiqing wanted to call Tang Lin, but thinking that he had exams, she decided against it and simply asked Tang Zhishan to deliver the message.

After chatting for a while longer, An Yiqing hung up the phone.

The June sunshine was warm and gentle. On the terrace of the bedroom, there stood a rocking chair, and An Yiqing, covered with a light blanket, lay lazily upon it. After a hearty lunch, her face was more ruddy, but her lips were still a bit pale, and her delicate chin had become sharper.

Recalling the experiences of these past few days, An Yiqing’s eyes flickered slightly, and she instinctively touched the bracelet on her left wrist.

"What are you thinking about?"

A pair of strong arms wrapped around An Yiqing from behind, pulling her into a warm, broad chest.

An Yiqing shifted her body slightly, allowing Gu Yelin to sit up, and she nestled her head further into his embrace.

"Ah Lin, during the days I was unconscious, I wasn’t completely without awareness. It was like my spirit had separated from my body—um, do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Yelin nodded, "I understand. These past few days I tried to use my consciousness to search for you, but each time I got close, I was repelled by a force."

An Yiqing looked up at Gu Yelin, surprised. She had not expected him to come up with that idea. But then, considering the mysterious Land of the Two Poles within him, An Yiqing felt relieved.

"Mom said that these past few days, my temperature fluctuated between high fever and chilling cold. Actually, I was stuck in a chaotic cocoon all this time, getting burned or frozen, enduring it for a long time before I finally managed to escape."

Thinking back to these experiences over the past few days, An Yiqing found it all quite inexplicable. After being tormented in that cocoon for so long, why was there no reaction in her body now?

After waking up, An Yiqing tested her Inner Breath and Vital Energy, including her Clairvoyant Eye, and everything was the same as before. Although the bottleneck at the Peak of Innate Realm had loosened slightly due to a brush with death, she was sure it didn’t have much to do with the bracelet.

It was strange—after so many days of tumultuous high and low temperatures, what exactly did the bracelet want her to know?

"Stop thinking about it. A treasure like this will reveal its use at the right time. You’ve just recovered; don’t tire yourself out." Gu Yelin gently massaged An Yiqing’s brow ridge and whispered, "I have started investigating both the Zhiyan incident and our group’s attackers. The ones who framed Xuanjin Yu Jade and attacked the An Family Mansion aren’t the same people. Rest well these few days, and leave everything to me."

An Yiqing closed her eyes contently, nodding off drowsily. Perhaps because her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, she fell asleep shortly thereafter.

Gu Yelin stood up, carefully picking up An Yiqing as if she were a precious treasure, carrying her slowly and steadily back to the bedroom and gently placing her on the large bed.

On the bed, Xiao Hei and Old Jin watched the sleeping An Yiqing with motionless, swirling eyes, filled with silence.

Woof~ The master is fine, how wonderful! ~

Mow~ Without Master Cat by her side, it’s really worrisome! ~

That night, past nine o’clock, the lights of the An Family Mansion gradually went out, leaving the rooms shrouded in darkness and tranquility.

In the bedroom, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin slept in each other’s arms, while Xiao Hei and Old Jin lay lazily in their nests by the bed, boredly flicking their tails in the dark.

Woof~ Old Jin, I can’t sleep! ~

Meow~ Damn it, I slept too much during the day; Lord Meow can’t sleep either...

Woof~ How about we take a walk outside?

Mow~ Old Black, how come you’re so smart? Let’s go now!

Stretching lazily, Old Jin and Xiao Hei climbed out of their nests, shook their fur, and stepped away, ready to leave.

Just then, in the darkness, the cat with the best night vision, Old Jin, suddenly fixated on the bed with its eyes widening in a line, staring at the bedroom bed with a face full of horror!

Following Old Jin’s gaze, Xiao Hei looked towards An Yiqing’s bed and instantly, all his fur stood on end!
