Chapter 618: Chapter 617: Detoxification
a.m.
In a king-size bedroom of a hotel in Bear Mountain City, Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu were practicing Cultivation.
Suddenly, the cellphone on the bedside cabinet began to ring.
Yang Fei opened his eyes and first carefully glanced at Tong Yunshu to see if she was greatly affected, then he felt relieved when she was not.
His Divine Thought swept over and when he saw the caller ID displayed, a look of urgency crossed Yang Fei’s face as he hurried to grab the phone.
It was a call from Qin Yanyang.
She was a very kind and attentive woman, and ever since he had known her, she wouldn’t trouble others unless absolutely necessary; thus, unless it was an emergency, she wouldn’t be calling him so late at night.
Tong Yunshu was also awakened by the noise, she opened her eyes and ceased her Cultivation.
"Hello, wife..."
Yang Fei answered the phone, and just after calling out wife, a weak voice tinged with urgency came from the other end, "Listen to me first, I’ve been injured and poisoned. I tried to force the poison out myself, but I couldn’t do it. I need you."
"What?"
Yang Fei was shocked.
"Where are you?" he instinctively blurted out.
Qin Yanyang said, "Binhai."
Binhai?
Yang Fei couldn’t believe it.
How could it be?
Within Divine Continent, how could anyone dare to lay hands on Qin Yanyang?
And with Qin Yanyang’s current strength, how could she be so easily injured?
She said she was poisoned; could it be someone poisoned her first then inflicted severe injuries?
Yang Fei felt his thoughts becoming a bit chaotic, he quickly said, "You... you must hold on, wait for me to get there, you have to wait for me."
While speaking, he began to get dressed.
Qin Yanyang, hearing the panic and urgency in Yang Fei’s voice, laughed reassuringly, "Don’t worry too much, I’m not going to die just yet, but you need to come save me quickly."
"Alright, I’m leaving right now."
"Contact Hu Lizhong, he’s already arranged a plane, have him send someone to pick you up," Qin Yanyang said weakly, "I’m a bit tired, I won’t talk any longer, waiting at home for you."
"Okay."
By the time Yang Fei had finished the call, he was fully dressed. He looked apologetically at Tong Yunshu and said, "I’m sorry, I have to go back to Binhai."
Tong Yunshu’s hearing was exceptionally good, she had heard the entire conversation and nodded, "Mm, you should hurry. Her voice sounded very weak; it might be quite serious."
Yang Fei nodded.
In front of Tong Yunshu, he called Hu Lizhong.
Hu Lizhong, as if he had been expecting the call, answered right away, "Brother Yang, I’m already at the top of the hotel building."
Yang Fei was startled.
Dammit, even Hu Lizhong is privy to my whereabouts—if Qin Yanyang intended to investigate me, wouldn’t I be exposed in a matter of minutes?
Fuck, I’ll have to be more careful from now on.
Upon reaching the rooftop, indeed, a military helicopter was hovering above it.
Once on the helicopter, aside from the pilot, only Hu Lizhong was inside.
He smiled at Yang Fei, then realizing it wasn’t appropriate to smile at such a time, he straightened his expression and said, "Minister Qin’s tone sounded weak. She’s not in any danger, is she?"
Yang Fei said, "No."
Hu Lizhong understood instantly, nodding without further questions.
Yang Fei looked at him and asked, "What do you know?"
Hu Lizhong hurriedly said, "The product sent to Binhai Laboratory was hijacked. Moreover, the enemy tried to abduct several key scientific researchers, but those researchers were retained by our people who were deployed earlier and were brought back. I heard Minister Qin led Chu Tianshu and some elite agents to intercept the product but encountered a very terrifying Werewolf powerhouse. Minister Qin was overpowered, ordered a retreat, and the product was taken out of the country."
"Werewolf?" Yang Fei thought of Ganno, a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
It might be someone seeking revenge on behalf of Ganno.
This grudge has now been established.
However, now is not the time to worry about these things.
The loss of the product, which might allow foreign powers to obtain it and develop imitations, is not Ying Fei’s concern.
His biggest worry is Qin Yanyang.
As long as Qin Yanyang is safe, everything else can be discussed.
Regarding the product being hijacked, he’ll personally settle that later.
Although the product belongs to the country, it is also synthesized by him, Yang Fei. In his subconscious, this thing is his.
Because of Qin Yanyang, he can generously contribute it to Divine Continent Country, but it’s unacceptable for others, especially foreign forces, to covet it.
Yang Fei won’t let them have it without paying a price!
"Brother Yang, I won’t accompany you to Binhai. Minister Qin has instructed that Yunwu Mountain is now of utmost importance and must not be taken lightly," Hu Lizhong said to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei nodded and asked, "How will you get back to Yunwu Mountain then?"
"Someone will take me there," Hu Lizhong replied.
He jumped off the plane, and Yang Fei, concerned for Qin Yanyang’s safety, urged the helicopter pilot to fly quickly.
At 7:30 a.m., Yang Fei returned to the villa.
The helicopter circled above Binjiang Garden, and he jumped straight down, landing accurately in the courtyard of his villa.
Upon reaching the master bedroom upstairs, he saw Qin Yanyang sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing to heal her injuries.
Her breath was weak, her face pale and haggard, and her lips purple, obviously poisoned.
Yang Fei was startled.
With Qin Yanyang’s cultivation, even if she were poisoned, she should be able to suppress it to an extent. What poison in this world could cause her such agony?
Qin Yanyang, sensing Yang Fei’s arrival, opened her eyes. The tension in her nerves finally relaxed, she let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Yang Fei with a smile, "If you hadn’t come back, I might not have been able to hold on."
Yang Fei walked over with heartache, hugging her while already checking her pulse with one hand, and chided, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were injured?"
"I thought I could handle it, but I didn’t expect this poison to be so domineering, merging with flesh and blood, making it difficult to eliminate," Qin Yanyang spoke softly.
Although she usually displays some daughterly charm, due to her personality and strong presence, it often lacked a certain feel. However, now in her weakened state, and in the arms of her man, she let herself relax completely. This demeanor reminded Yang Fei of the legendary "ill beauty."
A moment later, Yang Fei’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
He knew that Qin Yanyang was injured, but he didn’t expect it to be so serious.
Compared to the last time she was chased by Luo Yong, her injuries this time were even more severe.
Moreover, with the domineering Wolf Poison, if she weren’t so strongly built and powerful, she would have likely died already.
And, the fact that she could hold on until now was also related to her recent intake of Genetic Liquid Medicine, which had significantly helped her resist some of the erosion by the Wolf Poison.
Seeing Yang Fei frown, Qin Yanyang asked, "What’s the matter, can’t you cure me?"
"Don’t you believe in your husband’s ability? You won’t be in danger with me here," Yang Fei stated confidently.
Qin Yanyang looked up at him, giving a tender smile.
Her own strength rarely allowed her to feel this sense of security that comes with being protected.
Only Yang Fei could give her this different feeling, letting her feel that she could let go of everything and comfortably lie in his arms.
"Are the silver needles at home still there?" Yang Fei asked.
Qin Yanyang nodded.
Yang Fei got up, fetched the silver needles, and then began to remove the poison from Qin Yanyang with the Revitalizing Thirteen Needle Technique.
After two full hours, Yang Fei himself, due to the huge depletion of True Qi within his body, was sweating profusely and his face was pale. It was then that the thirteen silver needles on Qin Yanyang’s body finally stopped trembling.
The blood that flowed out from their tips was healthy and bright red without a trace of toxins.
After removing the silver needles, Yang Fei said to her, "You should rest and recuperate by yourself for now. Although the Wolf Poison has been removed, your internal injuries are still very severe. I’ll prepare some medicine for you to take internally, then I’ll apply the needles again later. Combined with the effects of our Dual Cultivation, you should recover in less than a week."
"Mm, thank you, husband," Qin Yanyang gave him a gentle smile, then sat cross-legged and closed her eyes to practice and regulate her internal injuries.
Seeing her enter into a cultivation state, Yang Fei left the villa to go to Li Xuantong Medical Hall to get her medicine.
