Chapter: 1684

Gou Lang nodded thoughtfully: "I'm meditating on this, and I think those qigong things do have some real essence, but they're more macroscopic. For example, it might slowly influence good or bad luck, but it's unlikely to instantly affect someone's reproductive ability, so I think that kid must have used some deceptive tactics."

Gou Lang pointed: "Deceptive tactics? What do you mean by that? Why did you say that?"

Gou Lang explained: "It's like magic tricks. Magicians usually use deception besides misdirection. Generally, when he points to his right hand and tells you to look, the object is actually hidden in his left hand. When he points to a hat and tells you to look, the object is again usually hidden in his sleeve."

Gou Lang nodded gravely: "You continue."

Gou Lang hurriedly said: "Look at this, Ye Chen appears to be doing some qigong stuff on the surface, but I think this kid must have used some secret method to quietly give us a certain kind of poison. It just so happened that we all let our guard down and didn't notice it."

Gou Lang suddenly thought of something and straightened up his body, saying: "That makes sense! Very reasonable! I've been wondering why my two subordinates were suddenly stricken with muscle weakness after he choked them. Now I think it's possible that he quietly gave them poison! Otherwise, how could two top-notch experts suddenly become useless?"

Gou Lang beside him quickly said: "Brother, if this kid really poisoned us, he must definitely have an antidote! Doesn't that mean we just need to get the antidote from him and there will still be a chance for us to recover?"

"Right!" Gou Lang immediately agreed: "This kid must definitely have a way to restore us! Let's busy ourselves with our tasks tomorrow and then find a way to make him hand over the antidote."

Xiao Yi Jian was suddenly stirred up upon hearing this. He had been treating his own injuries and mental wounds for a while now, and had almost lost hope in recent days.

However, it didn't mean he would accept this status quo willingly; he just felt helpless at the moment.

If he could cure himself, he was willing to pay any price!

So, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands together, and placed them on top of his head, begging: "I am also a victim under the wing of Ye Chen. I have suffered greatly at the hands of this young scoundrel! If you two have the opportunity to make him hand over the antidote, please, for my sake, give me a chance to recover!"

Cui Yan nodded slightly and said: "Xiao General, don't worry. You've told us everything today, and when we get the antidote in the future, we won't forget you either!"

Xiao Yi Jian was still very excited and said: "Second Uncle, I'm truly too grateful to you! Your great kindness will never be forgotten by me!"

Cui Yan nodded again and said to him: "Alright, Xiao General. It's already late, so you should head back soon. This matter, we'll keep you updated on any developments."

Xiao Yi Jian hastily nodded his head and respectfully said: "Second Uncle, then I'll take my leave first!"

As soon as Xiao Yi Jian left, Cui Yan quickly asked Cui Yan Zhong: "How big are your chances of getting that Ye kid to hand over the antidote?"

Cui Yan's face turned cold and he let out a snort: "Don't you listen to Xiao Yi Jian? This kid is actually just a swindler who peddles fortune-telling in the underworld, comes to Yanjing to see Big Brother, and is definitely plotting to make a profit. As long as he's plotting to make a profit, there's nothing to worry about. Wait until we settle the board meeting tomorrow, then I'll just use money to smash him into giving me what I want on his knees!"

Due to strong cold air, Yanjing's temperature dropped sharply at night, and flakes of downy snow floated in the sky.

Leaf Chen received a push notification saying that Yanjing had issued a blue warning for violent snowstorms from tonight to tomorrow morning.

Leaf Chen wore only a single garment and took steps out onto the balcony, his mind filled with thoughts of his parents.

Tomorrow, he would be going to pay respects to his parents' graves.

This matter had been put off in his heart for 18 years, and every time he thought about it, it felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Cui Qingyi's voice: "Leaf Chen big brother, aren't you cold in that thin clothing?"

Leaf Chen turned around to look, only to find that Cui Qingyi had already entered the room and arrived at the balcony door. JrNovels.com
