    22: Chapter 19 How to cooperate?

    Having returned to Lin’s Group, Lin Yi let Wang Qianqian head to the laboratory while Li Chen decided he needed to find Lin Yi first.

    Upon pushing open the door to Lin Yi’s office, he discovered Lin Yi sitting there, massaging his head.

    Seeing this scene, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable pain in his heart and quickly walked over.

    Just as Lin Yi was feeling unwell, he heard footsteps approaching and looked up to see it was Li Chen.

    “What’s wrong, my dear wife, do you feel unwell?”

    His voice was unusually tender.

    Lin Yi chuckled inwardly and shook his head, “Maybe I’m just too tired, it’s nothing.”

    Li Chen reached out to touch Lin Yi’s head, “Baby, you can’t just tough it out when you’re sick, come, let your husband check.”

    Looking at Li Chen’s hand, Lin Yi did not stop him but instead spoke with a sticky tone, “You know how to treat ailments?”

    She didn’t even notice that her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

    “Of course, your husband knows everything from astrology to geography, nothing is beyond me.” Li Chen said with a slight smile, placing his hand on Lin Yi’s forehead.

    However, he soon frowned inwardly and detected nothing unusual.

    Upon closer inspection of Lin Yi, he saw that his complexion was pale, covered in a fine sweat, and his lips, usually as red as rose petals, had lost their usual luster, appearing as if he were about to close his eyes.

    Li Chen’s heart sunk; these signs did not seem like illness but more like, poisoning.

    Having studied medicine for a while under Third Grandpa, he recognized the symptoms.

    “My dear wife, do you feel any discomfort anywhere?” Li Chen asked with concern, “Or any pain?”

    Lin Yi bit his lip and said softly, “There’s some pain in my chest.”

    “When did it start?” Li Chen’s gaze sharpened.

    “I’m not too sure, I was fine this morning.” Lin Yi sounded very weak.

    He was fine this morning, but something happened by noon?

    “What did you have for lunch?” Li Chen asked further.

    “My secretary ordered some takeout for me.” Lin Yi also felt something was amiss and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

    Li Chen couldn’t help but bitterly smile, “You’ve been poisoned, if I’m not mistaken, it was in the takeout you ate.”

    “How could this be, Tingting isn’t that kind of person.” Lin Yi was somewhat dazed.

    “Don’t worry, it’s not Tingting, it’s someone else.” Li Chen said with a heartache, “My dear wife, let’s not worry about that for now, let me see what poison it was first.”

    “Mm.” Lin Yi complied.

    Li Chen held Lin Yi’s wrist to check his pulse and after a while, his face darkened, “Such a cruel heart to use this kind of poison!”

    Moningxidine, an extremely toxic substance, kills invisibly.

    Although not as potent as Xibeka, its toxicity is among the top, fetching high prices on the black market.

    Who exactly wants to kill Lin Yi?

    “Is it very serious?” Lin Yi, seeing Li Chen’s grim expression, couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked.

    “My dear wife, how could it be, with your husband here, any toxin is just a small case.” Li Chen said with a smile, “But this treatment will require your cooperation.”

    “How can I help?” Lin Yi asked with a sticky voice.

    “I need to use acupuncture to force the toxin out of your body,” Li Chen said softly, “but it’s difficult for me to do it with your clothes on.”

    Lin Yi also understood the implication and blushed slightly, “Do I need to take off my clothes?”

    “Mm.” Li Chen nodded, “Acupuncture requires precise positioning.”

    Lin Yi hesitated, “Can I go to the hospital instead?”

    It appeared she was still somewhat shy.

    As Li Chen was about to speak, he saw beads of sweat the size of soybeans forming on Lin Yi’s forehead.

    “It hurts.” Lin Yi whispered.

    At this moment, Lin Yi only felt his body getting weaker and his face growing paler.

    Li Chen’s expression changed; the poison had manifested.

    If it continued, Lin Yi’s life would be at risk.

    “My dear wife, don’t worry, I won’t peek.” Li Chen whispered in Lin Yi’s ear, then quickly locked the office door, and began undressing Lin Yi.

    Lin Yi was wearing professional attire today.

    After removing the jacket, he was left in a white shirt, and Li Chen promptly started unbuttoning it.

    Seeing that Lin Yi was almost passing out, Li Chen’s movements sped up, swiftly removing Lin Yi’s shirt, then with a sweep of his arm, he cleared the office desk of all items.

    Gently placing Lin Yi on the office desk, Li Chen quickly pulled out a small cloth from his upper jacket pocket and unfolded it, revealing silver needles commonly used in traditional medicine!

    This habit had been in place before Li Chen became the King of the Netherworld, a requirement set by Third Grandpa: always carry a set of silver needles when outside, so one could perform acupuncture to treat oneself or stall for time even if injured.

    Li Chen was as calm as water.

    He took out the Silver Needles and his True Qi started circulating in his hands before he accurately inserted them into Lin Yi’s body!

    One, two, three!

    Li Chen’s needling was incredibly fast yet exceptionally precise.

    The most important condition for acupuncture is to maintain a Calm Heart; only then can one be precise and error-free.

    The ribbon of Silver Needles was nearly used up, with just a few left, and Lin Yi’s condition improved after the needles were inserted.

    A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Li Chen.

    She now realized that the Li Chen in front of her was not simple; he even knew acupuncture.

    “How about it?

    Is your husband handsome?” Li Chen also noticed Lin Yi’s little actions and couldn’t help but teasingly ask.

    Lin Yi couldn’t help but blush, once again caught by him.

    “Come on, my dear wife, there are just a few more needles to insert,” Li Chen said softly.

    Upon hearing Li Chen say this, Lin Yi grew curious, “Where will you insert them?”

    Li Chen’s gaze shifted downward, focusing on Lin Yi’s voluptuous chest.

    She was wearing a purple lace bra which, under its support, made her breasts appear exceptionally pert.

    “No way.” Lin Yi’s face instantly flushed red.

    Li Chen swallowed hard, thinking how grand his beautiful wife’s chest was, and he could easily place her first among the three girls, including Qianqian.

    “My dear wife, it’s okay,” Li Chen comforted in a low voice, “You don’t need to take it off, just pull it down a little bit.

    I won’t peek.”

    “No, it’s too embarrassing.” Lin Yi turned her head to one side, her heart in turmoil, wondering if her body would be exposed to him.

    “How about this, wife?

    I’ll close my eyes while needling, but I need to find the acupoints with my hands,” Li Chen offered another condition.

    “No way,” Lin Yi said, her face reddening even more at the thought of his touch, which made her embarrassed as a virgin.

    Li Chen was somewhat helpless.

    If this wouldn’t work and that wouldn’t work, how was he supposed to insert the needles?

    After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly struck Li Chen.

    “Beautiful wife, do you know the consequences if we don’t remove this toxin in time?” Li Chen asked, leaning in close.

    “What consequences?” Lin Yi’s curiosity was indeed piqued.

    “The terrible thing about this toxin is that it silently alters one’s appearance.

    At first, it will cause indestructible spots to appear on your face, then your skin will sag, your breasts will shrink and sag, becoming incredibly ugly.

    If that happens, my beautiful wife, you won’t be beautiful anymore,” Li Chen explained dramatically.

    “Ah, no, no.” The image flashed through Lin Yi’s mind, startling her instantly.

    To her, that fate was worse than death.

    “Then, my dear wife, if you don’t let me use the needles, the toxin can’t be removed, and you will end up looking like that,” Li Chen said earnestly.

    Lin Yi hesitated, torn in her mind, and after a long while, she softly said, “Then, go ahead with the needling.”

    Li Chen was overjoyed, but then Lin Yi added, “But, you mustn’t peek.”

    “Rest assured, my good wife, am I that kind of person?” Li Chen declared righteously.

    Then, adjusting his position, he held the needle in his right hand while his left hand moved toward her bra, inevitably touching Lin Yi’s breasts.

    So big, so soft, so tender!

    Li Chen’s heart swayed, and Lin Yi’s face turned incredibly red; she simply closed her eyes.

    “Beautiful wife, it will be quick, don’t worry,” Li Chen whispered, then gently pulled her bra down a little further.

    Damn, why do I feel something wet in my nose?

    Li Chen was stunned for a moment, nearly aghast, as the King of the Netherworld was about to have a nosebleed.

    If word got out, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

    “You, you better not look,” Lin Yi’s voice carried a sobbing tone.

    “Okay, okay, my wife, I didn’t look,” Li Chen quickly composed himself, then his right hand moved swiftly, accurately inserting the Silver Needle into the acupoint.

    After finishing, Li Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, grateful he hadn’t made a mistake.

    “All done, my good wife.” Li Chen helped Lin Yi sit up, then moved behind her.

    “I’ll Circulate Qi to expel the poison from your body; just stay still,” Li Chen said, then sat cross-legged, activated his True Qi, and placed his hands on Lin Yi’s back, followed by a surge of True Qi flooding into Lin Yi like tumultuous tidal waves.

    Suddenly, Lin Yi only felt that Li Chen’s hands were incredibly hot, emitting a very comforting warmth that quickly spread throughout her body from her back.

    Lin Yi felt a pleasant sensation all over her body and couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.

    Li Chen continued to infuse True Qi, his expression extremely solemn.

    The process of detoxification was divided into two parts; first was using acupuncture to contain and compress the toxin within Lin Yi’s body at a specific site, followed by expelling it using his own True Qi.

    The second step was also critical, needing to be free from external disturbances and distractions.

    At this moment, Li Chen’s hands emitted steaming heat as he channeled his True Qi madly into Lin Yi’s body.

    The True Qi roamed inside her, congregating at the position of her heart channels, beginning the process of toxin expulsion!

    Li Chen kept pouring his True Qi, confident in his robust Qi supply.

    As time ticked by, Lin Yi’s complexion grew increasingly healthier and her lips became rosier.

    The detox was nearly successful, but at that moment, a commotion was heard outside!
