Chapter 544: Chapter 534 Yin Chong Didn’t Die

As the instigator of the big scandal, Jing Huai naturally kept a close eye on the developments online.

He was currently at Lu Ye’s research lab.

Previously, when he was treated as a research subject, a lot of blood was drawn from him, and now Xu Qingmei’s people were searching for him everywhere, even hacking his accounts. As a payback for contributing so much blood, he was allowed to stay in the lab to avoid being found by those people and protect his account.

After all the effort and even nearly going broke to pay the breach penalty, his years of hard work in the entertainment industry had gone up in smoke, all thanks to Xu Qingmei and his own greed.

He had learned his lesson, but before leaving the Imperial City, he had to witness Xu Qingmei’s downfall.

Initially, when he saw the news online that Xu Qingmei had been taken to the hospital, his first thought was that it was Xu Qingmei’s ruse.

But as time passed, and he saw paparazzi post online pictures of Xu Qingmei’s resuscitation, the EKG monitor, and changes in her hair, especially when he learned about the location of Xu Qingmei’s wound, Jing Huai could no longer sit still.

If he remembered correctly, the location of Xu Qingmei’s wound was exactly where he had stabbed her with a fruit knife.

Could this be a coincidence?

But it had been more than a month since the incident, and the wound should have healed by now.

Surely, Xu Qingmei wouldn’t have inflicted another wound on the same spot for a ruse!

Knowing that woman, it was absolutely impossible.

Yet, the wound was real!

Lu Ye came in from outside and saw Jing Huai in a daze.

"What’s wrong, did the outcome not meet your expectations?"

"No," Jing Huai snapped out of it and shook his head at Lu Ye, who sat across from him, "I just find it strange!"

"Oh? Tell me more!"

After Jing Huai explained what he found strange, Lu Ye took out his phone and, uncharacteristically, paid attention to the current trends in the entertainment industry.

"A wound that was supposed to have healed reappears, hair turns from black to gray within a few hours, the former might be from a sharp object piercing the same area, and the latter resembles acute aging. But you said Xu Qingmei’s personality wouldn’t lead to suicide, so her current situation is indeed peculiar."

After Lu Ye finished his analysis, he looked up to see Jing Huai stand up, poised to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to sneak over to Xu Qingmei’s place to see. The public hospital’s security isn’t that tight, I should be able to get in."

Lu Ye was also quite curious about Xu Qingmei’s current condition, mainly wanting to study what was going on with her.

But seeing Jing Huai’s recklessness, he reached out and grabbed him.

"Don’t cause trouble for me. Knowing there’s something strange with Xu Qingmei, you still want to go there, aren’t you afraid of causing trouble? Stay in the room and behave."

Lu Ye locked Jing Huai in the room and encountered one of his researchers hurriedly reporting as he walked back to his office, "Boss, those active substances you cultivated, I just monitored them, they’re all dead."

"What did you say?"

Seeing the data showing all signs of activity vanish, Lu Ye took a deep breath, picked up his phone, and dialed the top number in his contacts list, "Old Shen, something’s happened!"

Jiang Lingxi crossed out a few pampering projects Tong Yue had arranged for her.

Facing Tong Yue’s disapproving gaze, "I can endure having stuff smeared and massaged on me for over two hours, that’s my limit."

"Really not going to try the rest?"

Jiang Lingxi firmly shook her head, pointing at her face, "You see, these things do have some effect, but for me, it’s not significant."

"You’re young, young people naturally have good complexion," Tong Yue had to relent, "Alright then, don’t do it. It’s not even one o’clock yet, why don’t we go out for lunch? Your account’s been inactive for a while, I can take a few photos to refresh it."

Jiang Lingxi was quite interested in having lunch, just about to nod when her phone suddenly vibrated.

"Yunqing?"

"Something unusual’s happening over at Lu Ye’s side, I suspect it has to do with Xu Qingmei. Where are you now? I’ll come pick you up, let’s go check it out."

This piqued her interest more than lunch, Jiang Lingxi promptly provided her current address.

"Okay, wait for me for fifteen minutes."

Ending the call, Jiang Lingxi faced her friends’ eager eyes waiting for her to book a restaurant, "I have to go with Yunqing for something later."

Lu Zhengzheng immediately clutched her heart, "Is my banquet flying away?"

Jiang Lingxi: "...You three go eat, it’s on me."

"Hooray for Sister Xixi!"

Jiang Lingxi: "..." ’Hooray’ came awfully easily.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Jiang Lingxi saw Shen Yunqing’s car approaching and waved at her three companions. Once the car stopped and the door opened, she stepped inside.

After sitting down, she looked at Shen Yunqing beside her, "Heading to Lu Ye’s lab?"

"Yes. Lu Ye just called me, saying all the active substances extracted from Jing Huai’s blood lost their activity in a short time, and he also took a blood sample from Jing Huai to confirm the residues in his body lost activity too. These substances originated from Xu Qingmei, and with Xu Qingmei injured and hospitalized, he suspects there’s a connection."

"Xu Qingmei’s assistant even called the police."

"Called the police?"

"She suspects someone wants to harm Xu Qingmei, and before Xu Qingmei was sent to the hospital, she even approached me. Asked about Yin Chong’s whereabouts. I guess Xu Qingmei must know something, but she’s still in a coma, unable to stop her assistant’s actions."

"Since she asked you about Yin Chong’s whereabouts, her recurring wound is likely related to Yin Chong. I remember after Jing Huai injured Xu Qingmei, Yin Chong took leave to return to the Imperial City the next day, and Xu Qingmei quickly recovered. Yin Chong healed her wounds then, so now..."

They exchanged glances, almost in unison: "There’s a problem on Yin Chong’s side!"

Changcang Sect.

Yin Chong looked at the Life Gu in his palm, now completely lifeless, then looked up at the limping Luan Feng, "Is the Sect Leader still in seclusion?"

"Yes, I was stopped before I got close."

Suppressing his agitation, Yin Chong comforted Luan Feng while also comforting himself, "This time around, we suffered heavy losses, and the Sect Leader was even deeper below at that time, seriously injured, so the seclusion period will naturally be longer. It’s just a pity..."

A trace of hostility appeared on Luan Feng’s face, "Now it’s not just Wu Jue guarding there, even officials have detected the anomaly and dispatched exploration teams. We can forget about the Taisui. And then there’s your Life Gu, sire..."

Yin Chong opened his palm towards him.

Luan Feng’s eyes widened, "Dead, dead?"

"Something must have happened to Xu Qingmei over there, I can barely sense her fortune now."

"Then her... You even used the Life Gu to heal her injuries before..."

A cold smile appeared on Yin Chong’s lips, "A useless person dying means nothing to me! It’s just a shame, all those years cultivating fortune, turned to dust in one move. Go investigate what exactly happened over there!"
