Chapter 432: The Antidote

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No one saw Rong Tianshi’s car accident coming, and no one even knew about it. At the same time, the atmosphere in the lab was rather upbeat. A smile finally graced Rong Qi’s face.

Back in Clearcreek Mansion, Rong Qi fed a newly formulated pill to Ye Nanshen with trepidation. Zhuang Ling and Xu Yi watched anxiously, their eyes fixated on him.

“How are you feeling, Shen? Feeling alright?” Lu Chengzhou felt like his breath had been taken away.

The medicine had just been synthesized by Lu Chengzhou and Rong Qi, and they only had time to test it on lab rats. Unable to find any other patients suffering from the K3 virus, they decided to administer the pill to Ye Nanshen.

There wasn’t any time to waste because Ye Nanshen’s condition was deteriorating fast. His face had turned as white as a porcelain doll, alarming everyone around him. He took the pill with a sip of water. “I don’t feel anything,” he said.

Rong Qi’s brow furrowed. However, just then, Xu Yi’s eyes widened in astonishment. “Master Shen, your eyes! They’re changing, going back to normal! The medicine is working!”

True enough, Rong Qi looked down into Ye Nanshen’s eyes and saw the crimson hue gradually fade. Within half a minute, his eyes had completely returned to their natural color. Checking his pulse, she found it stabilizing, steadily normalizing. A smile pulled at the corners of her lips. She released Ye Nanshen’s hand, feeling like a weight had been lifted from her chest.

Lu Chengzhou was practically delirious with joy. He thought, ‘Three years! Shen had been tormented by this disease for three full years, and now, at last, he was well again.’

“Shen, let’s go to the hospital for a thorough check-up,” Lu Chengzhou suggested.

“Alright,” Ye Nanshen agreed, not one to refuse. His body was recovering, and he was happy about it.

Months ago, rumors were rife that Ye Nanshen wouldn’t live much longer. Yet, thanks to Rong Qi, his little lucky charm, he had not only survived but had completely eradicated the virus from his system. Their eyes met, and in that gaze, volumes were spoken, words unnecessary.

“I’ll come with you,” said Rong Qi, taking Ye Nanshen’s hand as they left Clearcreek Mansion.

By the time they left Lu Chengzhou’s hospital, it was already time for dinner. As they made their exit, Lu Chengzhou handed Rong Qi several pieces of paper. “What’s this?” Rong Qi asked, taking them and unfolding them.

“Tickets. Speeding tickets,” Lu Chengzhou said, hands on hips. “I haven’t received a single ticket since I learned to drive. These tickets have seriously impugned my driving skills. You owe me an explanation!”

Rong Qi glanced at the date on the tickets, her eyes flicking back to him. ‘So these were from that night they raced back home! What’s the meaning of this? Handing them over now?’ Her eyes narrowed as she glanced at Lu Chengzhou.

‘Was he playing some sort of game?’

Ye Nanshen frowned and took the tickets from her hands to examine them. “What tickets? What do they have to do with Little Qi?”

However, when Ye Nanshen opened the tickets, he paused. Then, he decreed, “No more driving for you. From now on, Xu Yi will lose a year’s salary every time you drive.”

The innocent bystander, Xu Yi, was baffled. ‘What does this have to do with me?’

He looked at the tickets and found they were all for speeding. ‘Impressive,’ he thought, giving Rong Qi a mental thumbs-up.

Then he said, “Madam, you must never drive again! Otherwise, I’ll starve!”

“Fine,” replied Rong Qi, her gaze lingering on Lu Chengzhou.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small bottle. “Come, I have something for you, as compensation.”

Lu Chengzhou eyed her warily. “You’re not going to trick me. You’ve already fooled me enough in the lab.”

Ever since he started spending time with Rong Qi in the lab, she’d been using him as a guinea pig for her experiments. Now, he was on high alert whenever she was around.

‘No matter what you say, I’m not extending my hand,’ Lu Chengzhou thought..
