Chapter 603: 606: Taking a Life, Comes at a Price

“We’ll make every effort to find it!” Chi Yu said: “If we can’t find it in Country Y, we’ll look abroad. As long as it exists in the world, we’ll surely find it.”

Chi Zhan nodded heavily, “Yes, that’s how it should be.”

Yue Yaer gave a little smile, “It’s not that serious. They’re just a bit scarce, but not to the extent that you’re implying. It’s easy to find in Beijing. Western medicine is prevalent in Country Y, and traditional Chinese medicine is on the decline, so it might be difficult to find.”

“And then what?” Chi Zhan asked anxiously: “Once we gather all the medicines, how long will it take for my sister to recover?”

“Just one dose will suffice,” Yue Yaer said, “Once you’ve gathered the medicine, give her a bowl of it. Then I’ll acupuncture her. She has a lot of phlegm in her chest, which is blurring her mind. We’ll first use the medicine to expel the phlegm and clear her mind. Then we’ll use needles to steady her heart and consolidate her spirit. There’s one last very important point.”

Yue Yaer’s gaze swept over the faces of the two brothers, “If after administering the medicine and acupuncture, your sister still doesn’t wake up, then you must find the prime culprit who caused her illness.”

“The culprit?” The two brothers looked at each other.

Gu Junzhu said, “Shi Qianying and Shi Muqiao.”

Shi Muqiao is the Shi family’s bodyguard who seduced Chi Qing.

An awkward and annoyed expression appeared on both brothers’ faces.

Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t you use the video I gave you last time to exchange that bodyguard with the Shi family?”

“We exchanged it…but…” Chi Zhan’s face flushed with shame, “he ran away…”

Chi Zhan’s handsome face turned beet red, “I used the video that Fifth Brother gave us on the same day to exchange Shi Muqiao from the Shi family. My brother didn’t go, I did. The Shi family did hand him over.”

“During the journey back, the car Shi Muqiao was in got hit by a truck. Our bodyguard was seriously injured, and that scum Shi Muqiao was rescued by someone.”

Gu Junzhu raised his eyebrows, a smile of interest playing at the corner of his lips, “Interesting…Didn’t you find out who rescued him?”

“No…” Chi Zhan blushed with shame, “He disappeared without a trace. We searched high and low and still couldn’t find him. Considering the matter involves my sister’s reputation, we couldn’t call the police…”

He didn’t want people to know that he was incapable. He didn’t make a fuss about it.

Just their Chi family and his sister-in-law’s family were looking for him privately.

But that scumbag seemed to have vanished into thin air. After searching for several days, they still couldn’t find him.

“Do you suspect anyone?” Gu Junzhu asked the two brothers, “Are there any hidden details about your sister’s victimization? Otherwise, if Shi Muqiao’s master is Shi Qianying, and Shi Qianying is already unable to protect herself, how does she have the power to rescue him?”

“We can’t figure it out,” Chi Yu shook his head, “We have no clues.”

“If you can’t figure it out then leave it for now. The fox will eventually show its tail. You don’t have to look for him, maybe one day he’ll come to you,” Gu Junzhu rubbed his fingertips, “Shi Muqiao has run away, leaving only Shi Qianying…”

Chi Zhan said, “Shi Maotong did send Shi Qianying to our house, saying that Qingqing’s victimization was Shi Qianying’s fault alone. He asked us not to implicate the Shi family, and he was willing to hand over Shi Qianying to us for disposal.”

Gu Junzhu frowned, “What have you done to Shi Qianying?”

Chi Zhan said, “For now, nothing. We have her locked up.”

“Don’t lay a hand on her,” Gu Junzhu said, “Shi Maotong talks nicely, but who knows what he’s really planning? There’s a great possibility that Shi Qianying is just bait he released. If you hurt Shi Qianying, he will hold the decisive evidence in his hand. By that time, you will be the ones on the defensive… Murder carries a life-for-life penalty.”
