Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Problematic Cold Medicine "Where?" "Mountain and Sea Club." "Mountain and Sea Club? What kind of place is that?" Lei Xiaoya elaborated on the Mountain and Sea Club... The Mountain and Sea Club is a leisure and stress-relief venue akin to a game, with its main feature being the use of holographic projections to create various monsters. These monsters are inspired by the "Mountain and River Scripture," a mystical ancient text, and are almost perfectly replicated. The island has been cleverly transformed to resemble an Otherworld. Lin Xiaosu was intrigued. Monsters from the "Mountain and River Scripture," replicated one for one? An island crafted into the Desolate Ancient Realm. Even though it’s modern technology using holographic projections—in contrast to the real Desolate Ancient Realm—he was still interested in the Desolate Ancient Realm and the exotic beasts from the "Mountain and River Scripture." He had studied this mystical text. It gave him some insights. Now here was someone who seemed to have studied it more deeply than him and even personally created an island? "Who built it?" "A person named Lin Weiyang, who was a professor at Southern University early on, later ventured into business and amassed a fortune of billions. I heard this club is the culmination of his lifetime wealth and efforts." "Seems like a leisure spot but is actually a professor’s lifetime effort—it must be experienced!" said Lin Xiaosu. Ding Ruoshui said, "I also... achoo!" She sneezed loudly. Lei Xiaoya exclaimed, "Ruoshui, have you caught a cold? Could it be from the SA virus?" "No worries!" Ding Ruoshui said, "What’s the big deal about catching a cold? It’s just an ordinary cold." "Better take some medicine! The cold symptoms have been quite severe lately!" Lei Xiaoya opened her small bag and took out a sheet of medicine, which was the most commonly used SA-specific medicine on the market. Her finger lightly picked out two tablets from the sheet and handed them to Ding Ruoshui. And she herself picked out two tablets, smiling, "I’ll take two as well." She swallowed them with the tea on the table. Ding Ruoshui picked up her teacup, sending the medicine into her mouth... Lin Xiaosu’s heart suddenly skipped! The two tablets Ding Ruoshui placed into her mouth hadn’t yet reached her throat when they suddenly vanished into thin air! Ding Ruoshui was startled. A flowing sound came to her ears, "Don’t make a sound!" Three words were secret-transmitted into her ear. Ding Ruoshui’s heart raced... Lin Xiaosu spoke up, "What about me? Should I take two tablets too?" Lei Xiaoya laughed, "What do you think? Unless you’re not close with Ruoshui, otherwise, you’d be the first to spread it. I can only be second at most!" Couples, kissing is always a must. If one gets SA, the other can hardly avoid it. Lin Xiaosu didn’t argue, "Alright, I’ll take two tablets as well." He took the sheet from the table, picked out two tablets, and put them in his mouth, taking a gulp of tea. "Xia Tian is calling me, I have to go!" Lei Xiaoya stood up, "In the future, you can directly come here for meals; Xia Tian owns shares in this hotel, and I’ve already informed them, so just come and eat." "No need for that!" Ding Ruoshui said, "We don’t even know where we’ll be playing next..." They bid farewell harmoniously. Back at the hotel, Ding Ruoshui’s smile completely faded, "Xiaosu, earlier..." "Out in the world, never trust others easily!" Lin Xiaosu said. Ding Ruoshui said, "Did you discover something?" "There’s no need to discover anything, just stay vigilant!" Lin Xiaosu said, "If you catch a cold, doesn’t the market sell your medicine? A mere box of medicine, can’t we afford it? Why should we have to take hers?" "What’s wrong with the medicine?" Ding Ruoshui’s face was extremely serious. "Temporarily, there’s nothing wrong found, but I can still afford to buy the medicine!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Wait a bit, I’ll go get it for you!" With that, Lin Xiaosu left the room. He went to the pharmacy outside, chose the same type of medicine, and returned to the room. Ding Ruoshui took the medicine. After taking it, Officer Ding felt puzzled, "There’s a logic that’s hard to follow." "What?" "You said when out in the world, be vigilant about what goes into your mouth. I even have to be cautious with my best friends, so why don’t I need to be cautious with you? Aren’t you an outsider?" "Of course I’m not an outsider!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I’m actually your mom’s prospective son-in-law; at most, I’ll mix some knockout drugs in the medicine to knock you out and then take your maidenhood or something. For your family, that’s purely a benefit policy..." Ding Ruoshui pressed her hand to her forehead, unsure how to respond. She absolutely could not have anticipated that Lin Xiaosu’s relaxed demeanor was all an act. Inside, waves were already roaring. How many families keep cold medicine handy? How big a stir can cold medicine actually cause? But those four cold tablets bothered him immensely today. Those four cold tablets had a problem! And it’s a very terrifying problem. Why did he promptly use legendary level space technique to forcibly withdraw the medicine from Ding Ruoshui’s mouth? Because he suddenly sensed faint life waves within those two tablets. Medicine is just medicine; it can’t possibly have life waves. Thus, in that moment, he transformed Ding Ruoshui’s medicine-taking to just drinking water. Until the medicine was brought into his Inner Space, the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit entered it, turning the terrifying sense into an even terrifying reality. Inside the medicine, there was an insect! The insect seemed to be in a dormant state, but a dormant insect is alive! All of Lei Xiaoya’s sheet contained this insect! When he went to the pharmacy earlier, he thoroughly searched the shelves for similar medicine and found the same brand and batch of cold medicine, but there were none inside them! The pharmacy’s medicine was normal. The abnormal ones were just the batch in Lei Xiaoya’s hands. Where did she get such medicine? What purpose does she intend to achieve with this medicine? These questions temporarily remained unanswered for Lin Xiaosu. He even didn’t know if the two tablets Lei Xiaoya herself swallowed contained any insects. If they did, there are two explanations: one, Lei Xiaoya herself was unaware of the medicine; two, she had an antidote. Lin Xiaosu leaned towards the latter. Because Lei Xiaoya had lingering doubts in his mind—specifically a wedding invitation. An enemy had tailored a murder case for him at the wedding. The precondition was ensuring he arrived at the wedding site. Ding Ruoshui was invited by Lei Xiaoya. He Bin’s return was also Lei Xiaoya’s news to Ding Ruoshui. If the invitation itself held secrets, then Lei Xiaoya was a subtle yet crucial piece in this scheme. Furthermore, there was an inconclusive confirmation. After they both took the medicine, Lei Xiaoya naturally took away the sheet—there were several sheets left in the opened box, so giving them the opened box would have been a normal choice, but she didn’t do that. For now, the urgent matter is to ascertain what this insect is in the medicine, what harm it might cause upon consumption... This situation calls for Chang Ye. However, when Lin Xiaosu was about to use Dragon Eye to connect with Chang Ye, he suddenly thought of another person who might be more suitable... Ding Ruoshui knew nothing of the thoughts swirling in his mind. She slowly lifted her gaze, "Xiaosu, do you have some prejudices against Xiaoya?" "That can’t really be said!" Lin Xiaosu replied. "It really shouldn’t be!" Ding Ruoshui said, "She’s my best friend; my dad and her dad are the chairman and general manager at Changsheng Group, respectively. If there’s anyone in the world who deserves trust, it should be her." "Alright, alright, she deserves your trust but don’t easily use ’most’!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The person you trust the most should be me!" "Back to the deadlock my mom wants to pin down?" Ding Ruoshui sighed softly, "Fine, just take me as yours! Don’t need to pay back, just one condition." "What condition?" "Fire the two little flowers at your Detective Agency; let little Ye whom you keep at home go back! That’s my bottom line, I can accept my boyfriend being poor, but I absolutely won’t accept him having a bunch of mistresses." "Well... let’s not." Lin Xiaosu scratched his chin, very troubled, "Frankly, under current circumstances, the one who looks most like a mistress... cough cough... is actually you!" Scram! Ding Ruoshui kicked up a storm...
