Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss -
Chapter 949 - Chapter 949 Chapter 922 Seven-Acre Farmstead
Chapter 949: Chapter 922: Seven-Acre Farmstead Chapter 949: Chapter 922: Seven-Acre Farmstead Mr. Stone was a righteous man, he helped many people throughout his life. Although many people chose to stand by and kick him when he was down during this crisis, ultimately there were a few steadfast friends willing to lend him a hand. With time to maneuver, Mr. Stone could surely correct his previous mistakes and quickly get the business back on track.
For Yuki and Kiara, this crisis was more like a bridge for their emotions, simultaneously closing the gap between them and fostering growth.
In retrospect, Kiara’s approach was indeed very correct.
Late in the power struggle, Susi made a small mistake, but the Stone Family, which had since rebounded, did not hesitate to offer her support. This help enabled Susi to secure her power successfully, but that is another story.
At that time, having resolved one of her worries, Kiara felt much more at ease, but in her drawer, there was now a white phone.
Left behind by that detestable Marbled Cat Clan, Kiara kept an eye on that thing constantly; it was like a fishbone in her throat, reminding her there was so much unknown waiting for her to explore, and she must put effort into researching new fields.
However, no matter how much she searched, Kiara couldn’t find what she was looking for, causing her to become somewhat irritable.
She received no related materials from her teacher, ordering books in the original language from the bookstore yielded no evidence, and her own study was utterly unmethodical. Her anxiousness was all noted by Aka.
Aka was no longer monitoring Kiara’s every move, but per the boss’s instructions, he stayed to protect Mrs. Kiara. He reported to the boss every week about whether Mrs. Kiara was safe and well. After Mrs. Kiara had resolved the hypnosis incident, Aka naturally reported her troubles as well.
“Boss, Mrs. Kiara has been especially fretful these last few days. I even noticed acne on her forehead. Yesterday, I saw her go to the pharmacy and buy Niuhuang Detoxifying Pills, apparently her gums swelled up due to heatiness.”
“Go buy some heat-clearing and detoxifying ingredients for her, I’ll reimburse it as a business expense–oh, and you can also take her out to the night show for some fun. If there’s a handsome young man, introduce him to her. Surely it’s because her man is busy with work and neglecting my poor Kiara. Look what it’s done to her… she’s all pent up.”
Aka was dumbfounded.
Was the boss encouraging Mrs. Kiara to…?!
“It’s not about that at all! Do you think Mrs. Kiara is like you, constantly with a new girlfriend? Her relationship with Mario is very good.”
“If it’s not that, then why is she so upset? She hasn’t taken on any tough medical records recently, has she behaved abnormally in any way lately?”
“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything out of the ordinary… Oh, right, these past few days, she’s been running around all the major bookstores in the city, looking for books about hypnosis.”
“Hypnosis? Why would she be looking into that–” Professor Joel’s astute mind spun around and he had a sudden realization, slapping his forehead.
“Oh no, I heard that guy has been hanging around Kiara’s city lately. Could it be that…”
Kiara encountered the Big Cat earlier and got stimulated by it?
“Could be what?” Aka hadn’t caught on yet.
“Alright, just send her some Tufuling old turtle soup and detox tea, I’ll handle the rest.”
After hanging up the phone, Aka still didn’t understand what the boss was planning to deal with or what was actually wrong with Mrs. Kiara.
“Do these two have some kind of telepathy?” Aka mumbled to himself.
…
The information Kiara found was completely inadequate to deduce how that Fox Cat had turned Tony into that state, but she managed to reverse engineer some things she had never grasped before, based on her own experience and Yuki’s successful handling of the situation this time.
For instance, she learned how to determine whether someone had been hypnotized in that way. If similar circumstances arose in the future, Mrs. Kiara was confident she would discover it earlier than this time.
That was already quite remarkable since this was a field she had never touched before.
But Mrs. Kiara was far from satisfied.
In Mario Yuno’s words, Kiara was someone with an incredibly strong sense of territory.
If anyone dared to intrude on her turf or lay a hand on people who were marked as part of her domain, Mrs. Kiara wouldn’t rest until she had beaten them black and blue.
Now, she did have some ideas about how to retaliate against the mastermind behind the scenes, but she still felt helpless when it came to dealing with that hateful Marbled Cat Clan.
This situation also caused Kiara a trace of unease.
In places unseen by her, there were people who mastered psychological manipulation techniques that were completely opposite to what she had learned. Although the Marbled Cat Clan had only shown a fraction of their abilities, Kiara could sense that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
If they had more unknown techniques that they might use in the future, could she still protect the people around her?
As Kiara was feeling troubled, someone knocked on the door.
She shuffled to the door in her slippers to find it was the gatekeeper, a Security Guard.
“Ma’am, someone delivered this for you.” The Security Guard flashed an honest smile. This was the most beautiful woman in the neighborhood. Though she seemed a bit aloof at first glance, she was actually quite nice; sometimes, she would even bring them water and ice cream when passing the gatehouse.
“Who delivered it?” Kiara asked as she received a box that was marked as containing books.
“It was from the postal service.”
Kiara remembered ordering some foreign language textbooks from a bookstore, and it looked like they had arrived.
“Come in for a drink of water.”
“No need, thank you!”
The Security Guard was quite shy; he ran off after making the delivery, not even giving Kiara enough time to offer him a bottle of water.
When Kiara opened the box, sure enough, it contained the foreign language books she had ordered. As she took them out one by one, she found an old but not worn-out leather-bound book at the very bottom.
What’s this? A free gift? Why would a bookstore use such a worn thing as a free gift, or did the Boss accidentally slip in his old account book while packing?
Kiara casually picked it up; the leather-bound book seemed to be quite old, with a light gray leather cover that featured a compass-like design, and the whole book was stitched together with thread, feeling quite substantial. The pages were all made of parchment, exuding an aura of antiquity.
At first glance, it didn’t seem odd, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that it was unusual. As a well-traveled and experienced Female Boss, Kiara could naturally discern the value of things, and this item clearly wasn’t ordinary, not something a bookstore owner would use.
With this puzzlement, Kiara casually flipped the book open, and it was filled with smooth handwritten English. Kiara only read a few lines before getting goosebumps all over.
Wasn’t this exactly what she had been looking for?! The opening talked about how to do implant hypnosis–so the method used by the Marbled Cat Clan was called implant hypnosis. The introduction covered half a page, detailing the origins of this technique, which didn’t fall into the realm of modern Psychology but belonged to a self-created school, which was called–
Qi mu nong chang?
That wasn’t English; it was Pinyin, right? Translating it… Seven-acre Farm?
Kiara rubbed her eyes and looked again, feeling as though she had walked onto the wrong movie set.
Could such a tacky name truly belong to a mysterious Psychiatry Department sect?
It was as if the lyrics of a song about the scent of rice were echoing in her ears, and she could see the golden wheat fields…
