The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 513 - 477: Potion

Ever since Wen Mingcheng left, Qiao Yuxian took over Yunzhong Building.

Outsiders described Yunzhong Building as if it went mad during this period.

It was as if they wished every penny in the world would land in Yunzhong Building.

Qiao Yuxian felt the outsiders exaggerated too much.

She was just trying to make a little more money under the premise of joint development.

She had ideas, and she implemented them.

Previously, she never managed Yunzhong Building; all development decisions were made by Wen Mingcheng.

Now that she’s taken over, she can only play it her way.

After all, these business management things, she learned long ago.

Back on Yao Mountain Island, besides practicing martial arts, she learned a little of everything.

Some things she learned well, some not so well.

Some she used frequently, and some she didn’t want to use.

But not wanting to use doesn’t mean she can’t use them.

She felt that being in her twenties, her mind was still pretty fresh.

It’s quite functional too.

She just earned a bit of money; outsiders exaggerated too much.

Qiao Yuxian did not humble herself, genuinely feeling that the outsiders exaggerated.

But when Lin Huai Shu and Gu Yanjing visited Chu Zhengran in the hospital, Lin Huai Shu kept asking Gu Yanjing.

Did Gu Yanjing starve his little sister-in-law, or did he not give her money?

Making Yunzhong Building so crazy lately.

So crazy that it made him a bit jealous, wanting to take a share of the money.

Then Qin Xia told him that it’s just Qiao Yuxian’s normal operation.

She even left a path for others to walk.

Moreover, Qiao Yuxian avoided conflicts with the Gu Group, developing independently.

Not only did she avoid conflicts, but she also wants to cooperate with the Gu Group.

In Lin Huai Shu’s words, Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing are a perfect match, each more ruthless than the other.

"By the way, how about the matter with the Lu Family?" Lin Huai Shu remembered to ask, "Did we have results this morning?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing replied.

Neil woke up the day after being sent to the hospital.

But after waking up, he wouldn’t say anything when asked. If asked too much or urgently, he’d get agitated and faint again.

They also found drug compounds in his blood.

The drug compounds in his blood were the same as those in the ampoule bottles.

But specifically what drug it was, wasn’t clear.

The testing agency’s temporary conclusion was a drug similar to a stimulant.

But its effects are amplified many times over.

It’s a compound they haven’t encountered before.

After injection, within a very short time, strength, speed, and mental capability would rapidly enhance.

The drug’s effect lasts between half an hour to an hour.

There are severe side effects.

The mild ones lead to unconsciousness, causing bodily indicators to go chaotic, with various complications.

The severe ones result in sudden death.

Neil injected more than once; although the dosage was controlled very strictly, each time he injected, his body worsened.

Moreover, there is gradually a tendency for addiction.

Even though he says nothing.

But Old Sir Lu contacted his family back there.

His family didn’t know, but still found some clues.

The drug Neil had came from an underground fight arena on D Continent.

And it seems like his grudge with Qiao Yuxian was also formed there.

Gu Yanjing briefly explained to them.

After hearing this, Lin Huai Shu and Chu Zhengran both fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Lin Huai Shu said, "Does the little sister-in-law have no impression at all?"

Gu Yanjing replied, "No."

Lin Huai Shu took a breath, feeling like he had learned something unbelievable.

Qin Xia, sitting on the sofa beside them, listened to them and said, "Yu Xian... challenged various underground fight arenas for a period of time. Um... there were too many people, and they were all defeated opponents, she definitely wouldn’t care to remember them all."

Chu Zhengran looked at Gu Yanjing, raising his brows slightly.

Lin Huai Shu opened his mouth wide in surprise.

He could well imagine the demon-like presence Qiao Yuxian was at that time.

With Qiao Yuxian absent, he could only give Gu Yanjing a thumbs up.

Chu Zhengran said, "Brother, I’m starting to worry about your life safety."

Gu Yanjing glanced at him without responding.

Chu Zhengran chuckled softly, "How about the situation on D Continent? Did someone go over there?"

"Lu Muyao and Lu Mengyi went over." Gu Yanjing replied.

Qiao Yuxian was very interested in that drug, and after Lu Family sent information, she wanted to fly to D Continent that very night.

But with the graduation ceremony coming up, she couldn’t leave.

Lu Mengyi said that she and Lu Muyao would go first, telling her to wait for news.

Only then did Qiao Yuxian not go, but instead sent Liu Zhou.

Chu Zhengran started looking at Gu Yanjing again.

Lin Huai Shu picked an apple, bit into it, and said, "Since Mengyi went personally, let’s just wait for news."

Gu Yanjing looked at Chu Zhengran, who had been watching him, and said coldly, "Staying in the hospital too long, having mental issues?"

Chu Zhengran chuckled again, maybe he really hadn’t been out for too long, his psychology began to distort: "Why don’t you call Mengyi?"

Qin Xia looked at them.

Lin Huai Shu paused his apple biting, and consciously distanced himself from the battlefield, fearing he might get caught up later.

Gu Yanjing looked indifferently at Chu Zhengran.

Although Lu Mengyi grew up with them, studied together all along, and they even went to the Lu Family for occasional training.

Gu Yanjing rarely called Lu Mengyi.

One reason was he spoke less.

The second was he knew Lu Mengyi had feelings, and after explaining to her, he kept a distance.

The affection from growing up together was there, but also maintained distance.

Occasionally, sometimes he might call, Mengyi.

But such occasions were rare.

Chu Zhengran was probably bored in the hospital and picking at thorns. He smiled gently at Gu Yanjing.

Then Gu Yanjing turned to Qin Xia, and said plainly, "Miss Qin, if someone tries to stir up your best friend’s relationship with her husband, what would you do?"

Chu Zhengran’s smile instantly disappeared.

Qin Xia looked at Chu Zhengran.

Chu Zhengran immediately tried to explain: "I..."

Qin Xia looked at him and stood up, "I’ll go find a doctor and get someone from the psychology department to check on you."

Mr. Gu sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, lowered his gaze, and sent a message to Qiao Yuxian.

As if finishing the task, retiring to the backstage, hiding his accomplishments and fame.

Qin Xia said as she walked out.

Chu Zhengran sat up straight, "Qin Xia."

"Sit still." Qin Xia replied.

Chu Zhengran could already get out of bed and move. But still needed assistance.

Chu Zhengran immediately sat still.

Qin Xia said, "If you don’t get checked soon, your psychology will become abnormal."

Qin Xia had long noticed that Chu Zhengran seemed to want to "bite" everyone he saw recently. Except for her, there was no change, as they argued normally even when he was normal.

He wouldn’t even let Madam Chu off.

Even though it’s all joking, without any substantial harm, but... he is just not right.

Qin Xia felt if they didn’t intervene soon. Chu Zhengran might easily end up lonely.

Chu Zhengran: "......"

Gu Yanjing lowered his gaze without much reaction, but his mood was pretty good.

Lin Huai Shu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Qin Xia left the ward to find the attending doctor.

Chu Zhengran watched her leave, then turned to Lin Huai Shu, targeting him: "What are you laughing at? Did she agree to your confession?"

Lin Huai Shu continued to laugh: "I asked Lech to go mountain climbing tomorrow. She agreed."

"You sure know how to pick places, what kind of girl likes mountain climbing." Chu Zhengran retorted.

"Lech suggested mountain climbing." Lin Huai Shu was in an extremely good mood.

He mentioned inviting Qiao Lech out to play, Qiao Lech agreed, and even chose the place herself.

He’s been happy since yesterday.

Originally planned to go today.

But Qiao Lech accompanied Qiao Yuxian to school.

So it was postponed for a day.

Chu Zhengran watched him smile like a fool, let out a light sigh, then lay back on the bed, looking at the ceiling, saying: "The world where only I’m hurt is complete."

Hearing his words, Gu Yanjing slightly curved his lips.

Lin Huai Shu comforted: "No worries, Old Chu. You’ll be home after a while. Hang in there."
