Chapter 408: Almost Threw Up A Mouthful Of Blood

Lu Liangwei patted Lin Qingyuan’s hand and mildly reprimanded her, “I’ve told you before not to act so rashly, and to discuss things with Senior and Youyou if anything cropped up. You just wouldn’t listen to me! Thank goodness, you were very lucky this time around. If Senior hadn’t found you in time, it would’ve been the end of your life.”

Lin Qingyuan replied, a mix of emotions flooding through her, “I never imagined that Senior and Youyou might come looking for me…”

She had completely ignored them before this, yet when she needed help, they were the ones who saved her. She felt a little ashamed.

Lu Liangwei understood the other girl’s character deeply. Even though Lin Qingyuan was now a beggar of sorts, her ‘rich girl’ attitude was still quite apparent, so she still acted a little high and mighty. It was only expected that she would look down on Senior and Youyou.

Still, some things needed to be said. “Youyou even took care of you for the whole of yesterday night. You should treat the two of them better in future.”

A deep red blush spread across Lin Qingyuan’s pale face as she felt the shame wash over her. She held her tongue for as long as she could before finally asking, “How should I even treat them better? I can’t marry that little kid out of gratitude, can I?”

Lu Liangwei rolled her eyes. “You’re ridiculous. Do you know how old Youyou is? If you really want to marry someone to show how grateful you are, I think Senior might be more suitable for you.”

Lin Qingyuan almost threw up a mouthful of blood. “Senior is practically old enough to be my grandfather. Lu Liangwei, how can you be so mean?”

Lu Liangwei sniggered, “You’re the one having inappropriate thoughts. All I did was ask you to treat them better, but you’re insisting on marrying one of them out of gratitude. Now you’re turning things back on me and calling me mean?”

Lin Qingyuan let out a light cough and covered her face. “I was just joking.”

“Okay, fine. Now tell me, where exactly was Chen Qiyu taken to?” Lu Liangwei asked seriously.

“I followed them to a town called Xiawu, not too far off from the capital suburbs, but I was discovered soon after. I have no idea where Chen Qiyu was carted off to in the end.” Lin Qingyuan frowned. She felt quite sorry about it.

“This definitely has to be connected to Lu Yunshuang. I suspect Chen Qiyu and her maidservant have been sold to some sort of place.”

Lin Qinyuan suddenly felt fearful. “Lu Yunshuang is such a frightening person. Anyone who dares go up against her always ends up regretting it. I’m lucky to have faked my death in time, otherwise, might I have ended up just like Chen Qiyu? Chen Xuping follows Lu Yunshuang’s every order and is willing to do anything she asks of him. I don’t doubt at all that if Lu Yunshuang wanted me to disappear, Chen Xuping wouldn’t fail to have my throat slit.”

Lu Liangwei was silent for a while. She saw the fear on Lin Qingyuan’s face and tried to pacify her. “Well, you’re still alive and well for now. Just don’t act so rashly next time… if there’s a next time.”

Lin Qingyuan calmed herself down and asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Lu Liangwei replied, “I’ll send someone to do some investigating in Xiawu. There’s a possibility we might not find anything, but we can take further action once the investigation is finished.”

Lin Qingyuan nodded. She suddenly remembered something and hugged Lu Liangwei’s arm affectionately. “Do you still have the medicine balls from last time?”

Lu Liangwei raised an eyebrow.

Lin Qingyuan looked back at her with starry eyes. “To be honest, I was able to escape that last time thanks to that medicine ball you gave me. They had attacked me with a palm movement and in the heat of the moment, I threw the medicine ball onto the ground, and a smokescreen wafted out. It helped me buy some time to escape.”

Lu Liangwei nodded and took out a few more medicine balls from her purse. She reminded Lin Qingyuan, “I’ve added a higher dosage of coma-inducing medication into these ones. You need to cover your mouth and nose when you throw them, otherwise, you’ll faint as well.”
