467: Chapter 467: Zhao Yaya Unwell 467: Chapter 467: Zhao Yaya Unwell Zhou Meimei and her two companions were completely stunned at this moment, their faces showing shock as if they had seen something terribly frightening.
“Tangyu, you— you’re actually okay?
You’re not drunk?” Zhou Mei asked in surprise, while the three of them looked at Tangyu with strange glances, their eyes flickering with unusual complexity.
Tangyu looked at Zhou Mei and her companions and said, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not drunk.
In the drink, you must have added something that either increases the alcohol concentration or acts like a dizzying drug— in any case, something that should have one of those two effects.
Unfortunately, I’ve long been immune to such things, including the alcohol, so I didn’t get drunk.”
Upon hearing Tangyu’s words, Zhou Mei and her companions’ expressions grew even more splendid.
Zhou Mei said, “So you were pretending just now.
Does that mean you’ve been suspecting us all along?
This, I’m very curious about, as I felt we didn’t show any sign of problems until just before, and I really don’t understand how you figured us out.
When did you start suspecting us, or did we give ourselves away somewhere?”
Tangyu shook his head and said, “Actually, I never suspected you.
You kept yourselves well hidden, so I never noticed anything amiss with you.
Even before I pretended to collapse just now, I hadn’t noticed anything wrong with you.
My act of being drunk wasn’t due to suspicion but rather because I wanted to end the dinner early and go home.
Since I couldn’t get drunk no matter how much you poured, and if I didn’t pretend, you would have kept pouring, and inevitably the three of you would end up collapsing.
I didn’t think letting you three collapse would make things easier for me; if you really got drunk, then I would have had a headache.
So, I had to pretend to be drunk.
I didn’t expect this would lead to quite a drama.
I did wonder why you were so insistent on getting me drunk, even thought you might have other intentions once I was out, but I never really considered this angle.
So, it was indeed a big surprise from you.
Really, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
After hearing Tangyu’s explanation, the three were taken aback again, truly an unintended revelation.
The failure of this mission was due to such a laughable reason.
Zhou Mei shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, we can’t provide any explanation.
Tangyu, knowing your skills, the three of us weak women can’t match you.
Whatever you want to do about today’s incident, just say it, we have no complaints.”
Tangyu looked at the three, smiled lightly, and shook his head, saying, “You were also just following orders, unable to resist, so if you don’t want to explain anything, I won’t force you.
At least you’re not too bad, you didn’t plan to hand me over to the people behind you from the start, which at least shows you still consider me a friend.
Alright, you may go.”
The three looked at each other, staring at Tangyu in disbelief: “You’re letting us go?”
“Yes, why, you don’t want to leave?
Do I need to force you out?” Tangyu said looking at them.
“No, it’s just that after the way we treated you, it’s surprising that you simply let us go,” Zhou Mei said.
“Haha, what’s surprising about that?
Others might not understand, but I do understand your dilemma.
Besides, you haven’t really done anything to me, so why should I hold a grudge against you?
If I were to hold a grudge, it would be against the person who directed you to do this,” Tangyu said lightly, not that he was overly merciful; rather, Zhou Mei and her companions were simply following orders, clearly constrained, and they hadn’t intended to harm him, but rather tried their best to protect him.
“Alright then, thank you, Tangyu.
Although I can’t offer you an explanation, I can give you a warning.
We belong to a mysterious organization, but the ones targeting you this time weren’t our organization; someone paid to have us investigate you.
In fact, we received this mission a while ago, and since the first time we invited you to dinner, we were trying to set this up, only to be postponed by you until today.
Our organization has always been taking money to work for others, and we three have always relied on our jobs to disguise our identities.
I won’t say more than this, but I do believe this matter won’t end so easily.
Another thing to remind you, if you ever encounter someone from our organization trying to harm you again, please avoid taking their lives if possible, otherwise, you might face retaliation from our organization,” Zhou Mei said, after which the three left quickly.
Tangyu frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with a strange luster: “A mysterious organization, sounds quite powerful.
Those wanting to know about my past, besides the Yin Medical Sect, should be nobody else.
This matter must be the doing of Liu Dingyang.
Liu Dingyang, oh Liu Dingyang, when will I finally meet you personally.”
The idea that the three beauties were actually members of some mysterious organization caused Tangyu to shake his head and laugh.
If told to others, surely no one would believe it.
These three hooligans, to think they had such significant backgrounds.
Life’s splendors often lie in the most unexpected events.
Things you think absolutely impossible occur in reality.
Often, such events can absolutely blow your mind, life is filled with the unknown.
Upon leaving the restaurant, Tangyu directly returned to Princess Apartments.
“Tangyu, you’re back.
Have you eaten?” Lin Feifei clearly seemed surprised, a rare occurrence.
Tangyu smiled and said, “I have eaten; have you guys eaten yet?”
“Yes, we’ve also eaten,” Lin Feifei nodded.
As he entered the living room, Tangyu’s gaze fell on the sofa, only to see Zhao Yaya sitting there with a gloomy face, looking quite uncomfortable.
No wonder Tangyu felt something was off, normally upon his return to the apartment, Zhao Yaya was the first to greet him, but today she acted as if she hadn’t seen him.
It was only when Tangyu approached Zhao Yaya that she glanced at him briefly before withdrawing her gaze.
Tangyu looked at Lin Feifei and Guo Momo, who both indicated they didn’t know what was going on.
Tangyu sat next to Zhao Yaya and asked with concern, “Why the long face, Yaya?
Who has upset our little princess?
Did someone bully you?
Tell big brother and I’ll revenge you.”
“Don’t bother me, I’m just in a really bad mood today, feeling upset, conflicted, and irritated.
I really feel like swearing,” Zhao Yaya said.
Tangyu furrowed his brow; Zhao Yaya today seemed like a completely different person.
She had never spoken with this tone before; what was going on today?
With her carefree personality, even if she encountered something unhappy, she would soon forget it and be happy again.
What was going on today?
Something wasn’t right.
“Then why are you feeling so annoyed, depressed, conflicted, irritable, and wanting to curse?
There must be a reason, right?” Tangyu asked.
Zhao Yaya glanced at Tangyu, shook her head, and said, “There’s no reason, just feeling very, very uncomfortable, uncomfortable all over.
I don’t feel like talking anymore, don’t bother me, I need to think about life.”
“…”
Tangyu was somewhat at a loss for words.
The usually giggly, carefree, and quirky Zhao Yaya, how had she changed like this?
Tangyu gestured to Guo Momo and Lin Feifei, and the three of them walked aside before Tangyu said, “Do you guys have any idea what’s wrong with Yaya today?”
Guo Momo shook her head and replied, “I don’t know; I asked her, and she said there’s no reason, just feeling very uncomfortable and inexplicably irritable.
This kind of behavior, Yaya has never shown before.
Even if she encountered something unhappy, she wouldn’t act like this.
If someone had bullied her, that’s even more unlikely.
If someone had, she would have definitely confided in me already, not kept it bottled up like this.
I really can’t figure out what’s wrong with Yaya today.”
Lin Feifei also said, “I don’t know; it’s just really strange.”
Tangyu’s expression also became more solemn.
After pondering for a while, he spoke seriously, “There is a demon when things are abnormal, Yaya mentioned she felt uncomfortable all over, and she gets inexplicably irritable, annoyed, and doesn’t want to talk.
Earlier, I noticed her complexion, and it seemed off, as if she were about to get angry.
This situation is very likely a sign of an illness.”
“Illness, you mean Yaya is sick?
Are there really such bizarre illnesses?” Guo Momo asked.
Tangyu nodded and said, “Of course there are, all kinds of strange diseases exist, only the ones you can’t think of, nothing is impossible.
If an illness affected her emotions and mood, that would explain a lot.
However, exhibiting these symptoms could mean it’s not simplistic.
It’s strange because Yaya has always been very healthy, and I have checked her before; she is very healthy and theoretically shouldn’t suddenly become ill.
This point is also something I can’t quite understand.”
“So what do we do now?” Guo Momo asked.
“Now all we can do is let me give her a thorough check to see exactly what the reason is,” Tangyu said.
“Yeah, let’s go then,” Guo Momo immediately said.
The three of them walked up to Zhao Yaya, who was still sitting there looking unhappy, keeping silent.
“Yaya, give me your wrist,” Tangyu said to Zhao Yaya.
Zhao Yaya glanced at Tangyu and said, “No, I won’t give it to you.
I’ve told you I’m really annoyed, I don’t want you to bother me.
Just go away, and stop disturbing my contemplation of life.”
“Yaya, you might be sick; let Tangyu check you quickly,” Guo Momo said.
“I’m not sick; I don’t have a sickness.
I’m just in a bad mood; I don’t want it,” Zhao Yaya said, wrapping her arms tightly around her chest.
“But didn’t you say you feel uncomfortable all over?
That means you’re sick,” Guo Momo said.
“Even if my whole body feels uncomfortable, it doesn’t mean I am sick,” Zhao Yaya retorted.
Guo Momo was at a loss for words, while Lin Feifei also tried persuading her, but Zhao Yaya still wouldn’t listen.
Today’s Zhao Yaya resembled a live keg of gunpowder, intolerant and combative at every word, a stark contrast to the Zhao Yaya who usually was obedient and compliant to Guo Momo’s advice.
Tangyu continued to watch Zhao Yaya’s condition, his brow furrowing more with concern over her exhibited behavior.
