Chapter 795: Chapter 795: Yun Lih Has an Outburst

The latest Sirbey Tuatara?

Shang Lu licked the corner of his mouth, eyes shining brightly, “The, the one like a giant lizard?”

Li Qiao hung up the phone, glanced at Shang Lu, and nodded, “Right.”

“Holy shit…” Shang Lu rubbed his hands together excitedly, took a small step forward, and said eagerly, “Sister-in-law, what kind of living Bodhisattva are you?”

A piercing look shot over from the side, and Shang Lu murmured with less conviction, “Brother, you said… to listen to Sister-in-law.”

Li Qiao smiled with curved lips, “Are you satisfied with this arrangement?”

Shang Lu nodded like a pecking chicken, “Satisfied, very satisfied.”

“Let’s go, let’s talk inside.”

A Sirbey Tuatara valued over fifty million handled a small disturbance.

It was the first time for Xia Siyu and the others to encounter such a younger uncle who was so good at currying favor.

Holding his temples, Su Moshi ordered his assistant to send Shang Lu’s Sirbey for repairs, and after that, the entire group proceeded into the research lab.

Shang Lu took his little medicine box out of the car, slung it over his shoulder, and walked into the lab, frowning at the smell of his own clothes.

Did they smell like leftover food?

In the conference room, Su Moshi had someone bring a few cups of tea. Li Qiao and Shang Yu hadn’t arrived yet, only he and Xia Siyu occasionally sized up Shang Lu.

In the corridor, Shang Yu stood tall in front of Li Qiao, touched the top of her head, and said with a laugh in his voice, “Don’t spoil him too much.”

Li Qiao lifted her eyelids, her dark eyes teasing, “I can’t help it, love me, love my dog.”

Laughter spilled from the man’s lips, his thumb resting between her brows, “Remember to take your medicine at four this afternoon, I’ll be back later.”

“Are you going out?”

Shang Yu’s expression was unfathomable, and he motioned with his mouth towards the conference room, “Mhm, have some business to do.”

Li Qiao raised her eyebrows but didn’t ask further, told him to go and come back quickly, then turned and entered the conference room.

The man watched her back, lips slightly parted, and with steady steps, he headed toward the parking lot.

Liuyun handed him his coat and opened the car door for him, reporting in a low voice, “Wei Ang just called. He said the family head’s idea is to have us send Yun Lih back to Parma.”

Shang Yu glanced at him sideways and got into the car, “Go to Danmu Palace first.”

…

At four in the afternoon, Li Qiao and the others were still discussing the type of poison in Yun Lih’s body when her phone vibrated with a message. It was a WeChat reminder from Shang Yu to take her medicine.

To be precise, it wasn’t medicine but various vitamins and folic acid that Su Moshi had given her earlier.

Xia Siyu continued to analyze Yun Lih’s condition with a grave expression, “If it’s really the toxin from the blue-ringed octopus, then that explains Brother Lih’s persistent nosebleeds.”

The blue-ringed octopus’s toxin is extremely poisonous, and currently, there is no medical solution.

It not only causes coagulation disorders but also has a significant impact on the nerves.

Even a tiny amount should not be underestimated.

Li Qiao glanced at Shang Lu, who was sitting alone at the corner of the table, “Come out with me for a minute.”

Xia Siyu and Su Moshi both looked up. Li Qiao told them to wait and then took Shang Lu out the door.

After a moment of silence, Xia Siyu unconsciously muttered, “Can traditional Chinese medicine really detoxify?”

“It can’t.” Su Moshi’s voice was deep, “The blue-ringed octopus’s poison has no cure.”

Xia Siyu slumped in her chair, staring blankly at a spot, “So Brother Lih…”

“Apart from suppressing the toxicity, there’s no other way,” Su Moshi didn’t want to be so negative, but the reality was right in front of their eyes.

He stood up to get a cup of water, placing it in front of Xia Siyu, “Instead of worrying, we should hurry and identify the other toxins in his body. Since Uncle Shang has agreed to help, perhaps he will have a solution.”

Xia Siyu held the cup with both hands, lowering her head as she smiled wryly, “I hope so.”

…

On the path outside the courtyard, Li Qiao led Shang Lu back to the western-style house.

The two of them kept a distance of one meter between them at all times, Shang Lu occasionally glancing at her. After walking for a dozen meters, he finally said, “Sister-in-law, I am a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and the most effective way to suppress the toxin of the blue-ringed octopus would be with an antitoxin serum.”

His implication was clear: this was not something within his medical expertise.

Li Qiao gave him a sidelong glance, continuing her leisurely pace, “He has more than one toxin in his body, traditional Chinese detoxification methods could be tried on him.”

Shang Lu raised his eyebrow in surprise, speaking his mind bluntly, “More than one toxin? And he’s not dead from the poison yet?”

Li Qiao gave him a deep look, and Shang Lu tapped his own mouth lightly, “A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue…”

Before long, the two returned to the house. Li Qiao took out a clear plastic sealed bag from the drawer of the coffee table, “This is synthetic cannabinoid.”

Shang Lu gestured for her to put it down on the coffee table, his eyes flickering as he hesitated, “Sister-in-law, you have this hobby as well?”

Li Qiao was truly helpless with his train of thought, sighing as she leaned on the sofa, “The right medicine for the right disease.”

“Oh,” Shang Lu picked up the sealed bag, opened it to sniff, and then took out a small piece resembling a tobacco leaf to examine it closely, “This is just ordinary tobacco leaf, but it doesn’t smell quite right.”

Watching his actions, Li Qiao slowly said in a low voice, “The active ingredient in cannabinoids is THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, and synthetic cannabinoids are chemically synthesized drugs that have effects similar to THC. Can you try to find a traditional Chinese medicine substitute for weaning off THC?”

Shang Lu crumbled the dry tobacco leaf between his fingertips, nodding seriously, “I should be able to, leave it to me.”

Having said that, he then remembered something, “Sister-in-law, I might need a Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy Room.”

“There’s a traditional medicine research lab three streets behind the town; it’s yours to use,” Li Qiao said as she looked towards Luoyu, “Take him there to have a look, and let me know promptly if you need anything else.”

Luoyu nodded in agreement, and Shang Lu gladly accepted.

After the two left, Li Qiao took out vitamins and folic acid from the drawer, swallowed them, and then went upstairs.

In the study, Wang Yue was still busy in front of the computer. Seeing Li Qiao approaching, he quickly stood up, “Madam.”

“How’s the progress?” Li Qiao sat down at the desk, propping her forehead on her fingers, gently massaging her temples.

Wang Yue turned the laptop screen towards her, “The setup’s almost complete. Cheng Mo is still writing the information deletion program; it will be ready to embed in social networking sites by tomorrow.”

Li Qiao’s eyelids drooped, her expression slightly cool, “Give me his sister’s information.”

Wang Yue didn’t speak out of turn, pulling up the document from the database and sending it directly to Li Qiao’s email.

He didn’t know what Li Qiao was planning to do, but Xiao Yehui’s younger sister’s noble school was located on the outskirts of London Port, only a twenty-minute drive from Myst Town.

…

Night fell, and Shang Yu returned to the small town, stars twinkling in the sky.

Liuyun followed behind him, carrying something similar to a scroll case on his shoulder.

Li Qiao wasn’t in the western-style house or the research lab. Liuyun called Luoyu to find out everyone was next door because Yun Lih’s drug addiction was acting up.

Hearing the news, Shang Yu hurried over, only to find the living room in disarray.

Teacups were shattered, tables and chairs overturned, and Yun Lih lay on the sofa with disheveled hair and a pallid face, his body still trembling slightly.
