Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 327: Something Fishy

"Yang Cheng, what are you doing? Let go of my mom!"

Ye Ling’Er shouted, wanting to rush in to stop him.

"Don’t come over! If you stop me now, it’ll all be for nothing!"

Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and shouted, then concentrated, gathering True Qi in the palm of his hand, placing it over Ye Xixue’s chest.

The soft and smooth touch made the evil fire within Yang Cheng grow increasingly intense.

Ye Ling’Er moved a little closer and immediately noticed Yang Cheng’s particularly prominent position, blushing in embarrassment, she cursed, "You scoundrel! How can you have improper thoughts about my mom?"

At this point, Yang Cheng had no time to explain. After confirming the injection of True Qi into Ye Xixue’s body, he exhaled a turbid breath and released her hand.

"Miss Ye, any normal man would have a reaction in such a situation."

Yang Cheng explained helplessly.

At this moment, Ye Xixue slowly regained consciousness from her pain. Seeing herself disheveled and drenched in fragrant sweat, she quickly dressed, covering up most of the exposed skin.

Despite undergoing extreme agony just now, she clearly felt her head ease up significantly, unlike before when it always felt like splitting pain, making it impossible for her to think calmly.

"Yang Cheng, is my mom okay for now?"

Ye Ling’Er asked anxiously.

Yang Cheng nodded, "She won’t have headaches for now, but she might still experience coughing and chest tightness. She needs to maintain emotional stability, and once the Spiritual Essence Pill forms, I’ll help detoxify her."

"Thank you very much."

Ye Xixue felt much more comfortable, sincerely grateful to Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng’s expression grew somewhat grave; during the acupuncture treatment, he discovered something peculiar about Ye Xixue’s internal poison; it seemed like the toxin had been directly placed into her body.

Even stranger was a weird force within her, restraining the toxin, which explained why she hadn’t succumbed to the poison in two years.

He was baffled by how Ye Xixue got poisoned in the first place.

As he was pondering, Ye Ling’Er spoke up, "Yang Cheng, let my mother rest, I’ll take you outside."

Yang Cheng nodded, just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Madam Ye, you know my father, Yang Feng, right?"

Ye Xixue nodded, "Of course I do, turns out you’re Yang Feng’s son."

"Back then, my father signed a bet agreement, and the company went bankrupt due to certain matters. I want to ask how much you know about this? Did he really have to pay twelve billion for losing the bet agreement?"

Yang Cheng inquired.

Naturally, he’d repay his father’s debt, but not blindly; some things needed clear investigation.

Ye Xixue thought for a moment, shook her head, "Since my poisoning, Jiulong Mountain Villa’s affairs have been managed by Murong Hai; it’s Murong Hai who signed the agreement with your father. I only found out they signed a bet agreement after your father disappeared, but according to the contract, your father indeed owed Jiulong Mountain Villa twelve billion."

She started Jiulong Mountain Villa as a woman back then, to avoid attracting attention to herself, she’d let her assistant Murong Hai socialize on her behalf.

Murong Hai was supposed to be a front for her business, but now seemed intent on replacing her.

A decisive glint crossed Ye Xixue’s beautiful eyes. Now Jiulong Mountain Villa held unrivaled status in Peach Blossom. Once she recovered, Murong Hai’s substitute position ought to end.

"Madam Ye, since the contract was signed by my father, I won’t renege on it. I’ll repay the twelve billion, but it’s a large amount, I need time."

Yang Cheng spoke earnestly.

"No hurry."

Ye Xixue responded gently. Though not involved in the bet agreement mostly, she could guess Murong Hai did some questionable deeds.

"After the company went bankrupt, my father disappeared, do you know of any leads?"

Holding hope in his heart, Yang Cheng asked, since Jiulong Mountain Villa was so vast, maybe Ye Xixue knew something useful.

"I don’t know. I’ve only met Yang Feng but haven’t really interacted."

Ye Xixue shook her head.

Yang Cheng was somewhat disappointed, but also anticipated this outcome.

"Rest well, I’ll take my leave now."

Ye Ling’Er escorted him and Chu Xiaoyu to the door, watched the Land Rover drive away, then turned and left.

Just as she entered, she ran into Murong Hai.

"Ling’Er, is your mother still upset with me? I know I was wrong, just got momentarily confused trying to save some money for Jiulong Mountain Villa. I won’t do it again."

Murong Hai wore a cheerful face, seemingly remorseful.

Ye Ling’Er spoke earnestly, "Uncle Murong, two years ago my mom entrusted Jiulong Mountain Villa to you to manage because she trusted you. She repeatedly advised you not to ruin Jiulong Mountain Villa’s reputation over petty gains, but you just wouldn’t listen."

"You knew well how ill my mom was and should’ve shared her burdens, but instead you angered her, causing her sickness."

If not for Murong Hai’s long-standing companionship with her mom, she wouldn’t be so tolerant.

Murong Hai nodded repeatedly, his eyes turned, he feigned concern asking, "It’s all my fault, causing her illness. How is she now? Should we take her to the hospital?"

"No need, Yang Cheng already gave her acupuncture, stabilizing the condition."

"What? Condition stabilized?"

Murong Hai blurted out surprised.

"Yes! Yang Cheng’s medical skills are remarkable."

Ye Ling’Er remained unaware of anything wrong, recalling Yang Cheng brought a slight smile to her lips.

Murong Hai remembered Ye Ling’Er preventing him from killing Yang Cheng and cautiously asked, "So, earlier you stopped me from killing Yang Cheng because of your mother’s illness too?"

"Yes! There were too many people at the time, couldn’t say directly. Yang Cheng is the one I invited to refine Spiritual Essence Pill, now only the Spiritual Essence Pill can detoxify my mom."

"Has the Medicine Pill been refined?"

Murong Hai continued probing.

"Spiritual Essence Pill isn’t easy to refine, but he already created the Elixir Embryo and placed it within my abdomen, where it absorbs human Essence Qi, finally condensing into the Spiritual Essence Pill, after which my mom’s toxin can be expelled."

Ye Ling’Er unconsciously stroked her abdomen, eager for the Spiritual Essence Pill to form quickly. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Upon hearing this, Murong Hai felt as though struck by lightning, almost gasping, he clenched his fists tightly to calm down.

"That... that’s wonderful!"

He feigned happiness, hiding venomous intent in his eyes.

This little bitch actually found someone who can refine Spiritual Essence Pill and even has an elixir embryo, if Ye Xixue’s toxin gets neutralized, how would he control her, occupy Jiulong Mountain Villa?

The plan was barely one step away, now suddenly a wrench in the works!

Murong Hai disoriented, bid farewell to Ye Ling’Er, hurriedly returned to his room, contemplating how to break the deadlock.

He couldn’t let Ye Xixue be detoxified, hence must sabotage the Elixir Embryo within Ye Ling’Er.
