CHAPTER 842: CHAPTER 842: TIPPING OFF

"Hmm." Li Qiao leaned against the back of the chair, her expression indifferent, "There’s something going on at his company. If there’s any problem with the results, you can say it directly."

Chang Rong was silent for a long time, as if he had something difficult to say. He handed over the report and said in a low tone, "Miss Li, your medical check-up results are all normal, and the HCG values are relatively stable.

But Master Yan... The ECG shows he has symptoms of slight tachycardia, and the white blood cell count is also slightly low. Although it’s not very serious, a routine check-up might not reveal the real cause."

As expected.

The typical side effects of Clonazepam have already appeared.

Li Qiao lowered her eyelids to hide the waves underneath her eyes. She looked at Shang Yu’s report, with the white blood cell count slightly low, just as Chang Rong said, it wasn’t too serious.

She folded up the report, looked up at Chang Rong, "I’ll discuss it with him, thank you."

"You’re welcome." Chang Rong bowed respectfully to Li Qiao, "Master Yan is still young. The doctor’s suggestion can be considered, such as consuming oxtail soup or eel."

Li Qiao agreed with Chang Rong’s suggestions, and when she left the hospital, her expression was inexplicably cold.

Luoyu had been waiting outside, unaware of what they talked about.

In the parking lot, Li Qiao walked aside, took out her phone to make a call, and a missed call notification appeared boldly on the screen.

Coincidentally, it was from Bai Yan.

Li Qiao called back, and Bai Yan answered immediately and teased in a cheerful tone, "I thought you weren’t going to answer my call."

A couple of days ago, she asked him to help transfer an IP address. It’s not that he didn’t handle it; he just didn’t succeed.

Bai Yan feels it’s not his fault; after all, the IP address of the South Sea Mansion had anti-theft protection. Not only that, but when he was just about to make the transfer, he was suddenly attacked by a group of online hackers from out of nowhere, almost to the point of death.

He just wanted to transfer an IP address, yet those hackers, like mad dogs, counterattacked and warned him, nearly formatting his system codes.

Bai Yan had never had a positive impression of Shang Shaoyan, the South Sea merchant, and now his resentment was even heavier.

It was one thing to spoil the mascot of the Flame Alliance, but was a mere IP address worth him sending out a bunch of hackers to risk their lives?

Making a mountain out of a molehill, such a narrow perspective.

At this time, Li Qiao leaned against the car door and said bluntly, "Any news?"

Bai Yan didn’t hold back, "Landis’s location has been found, near the Scarlet City night market. What’s your plan, are you coming over directly, or should I interrogate him for you?"

Li Qiao licked her lips, her eyebrows and eyes frosty, "Keep an eye on him, I’ll go personally."

"Okay." Bai Yan agreed readily, "I’ve set up an ambush near the hotel he’s staying at. If you’re coming, do it quickly; he’s highly vigilant. The people I sent yesterday were almost discovered."

"Hmm, keep him in Scarlet City."

Bai Yan didn’t take it seriously, "What’s there to fear? Even if he runs, I’ll find him even if I have to dig three feet into the ground."

Li Qiao looked into the distance and said meaningfully, "Once he leaves Scarlet City, you might really need to dig three feet down to see him again."

Bai Yan pondered for a moment, then replied knowingly, "You know, this Landis hasn’t left Scarlet City since he came six months ago. I’ve found that he usually never stays in one place for more than half a year during his travels. This time, it really doesn’t align with his usual style."

"A no-man’s land like this is, ironically, both the most dangerous and safest for someone like him." Li Qiao silently sighed, "Make sure he’s secure, don’t let anything happen before I arrive."

Bai Yan immediately patted his chest to assure her, otherwise... it would be too embarrassing.

Failing to transfer an IP address was one thing, but not being able to handle a live person? He’d have no face left to continue his legacy of selling fried rice.

...

Li Qiao took the medical report intending to find Shang Yu.

On the way, she instructed Luoyu to call Crystal Garden to order a meal, specially preparing oxtail soup for dietary supplementation.

When she arrived downstairs at the Yan Emperor Tower, she glanced at the building across the street, "Has Zong Zhan already returned to the Imperial Capital?"

If he took Xi Luo with him, he needs to bring her back as soon as possible in the next few days.

Luoyu, steering the wheel, coughed awkwardly, "He didn’t leave, Third Master is in the hospital."

"What happened?" Luoyu suppressed a chuckle, "Probably got an upset stomach. I heard from Liuyun, he called Boss overnight to... take him to the hospital."

It sounded uneventful, but Li Qiao sensed that Luoyu seemed to be holding back laughter, and raised an eyebrow, "What about Xi Luo?"

"Sister Luo... probably went home." Luoyu reversed into the parking spot, her eyes flickering, "Liuyun said he carried Third Master out from the bathroom. Diarrhea all day, got dehydrated."

Li Qiao: "..." She suspected it was Xi Luo who drugged him.

No wonder Shang Yu returned late last night; it turned out he was held up by Zong Zhan.

"Who unlocked the handcuffs?" Li Qiao got out of the car, walked around the front, and asked curiously.

Luoyu shook her head, "I’m not sure about that, when Liuyun arrived at the apartment, he didn’t see Sister Luo, it’s said that the handcuffs were still hanging on Third Master’s wrist."

Li Qiao remained silent, as she expected, they really are a pair of enemies.

...

At the same time, in the Chairman of Yan Emperor’s office, Xi Luo was sitting properly on the sofa, wearing a somber black suit.

As long as she didn’t speak, she was the most elegant woman.

Then, the elegant woman spoke, "Archbishop, does your conscience hurt?"

Shang Yu continued working at his desk, replying without looking up, "Speak your mind."

Xi Luo flipped her hair aside and fished out a pack of cigarettes from her purse. Just as she pulled one out, the man lifted his eyelid and warned coldly, "Smoke outside."

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll complain to Li Qiao?" Xi Luo tossed the cigarette pack onto the table, ignoring the man’s stern gaze, lifted her chin and crossed her arms, starting her performance, "Everything has an order. We clearly reached an agreement first. Even if you can’t help outsiders at the expense of family, how could you stand by and watch me get bullied by that thug?"

Shang Yu glanced at her, "Thug?"

"Isn’t he?" Xi Luo retorted confidently, eyeing the desk with a sharp stare, "And to think I went out of my way to tip you off. If I’d known, I shouldn’t have told you that Li Qiao was going to Myanmar, just to let you taste the feeling of an empty house."

As the last word from Xi Luo landed, the office door that wasn’t properly closed was slowly pushed open.

Li Qiao leaned against the doorframe, looking at Xi Luo with a playful smile, "Tipped off?"

Xi Luo’s proudly lifted shoulders visibly slumped.

Feeling guilty!

Shang Yu looked at Li Qiao sideways, smiling slightly, "You heard?"

Li Qiao watched him, speaking leisurely, "Entrusted by someone?"

This was what Shang Yu said on Shuhe Peak.

Xi Luo looked around and stood up with her handbag, "I’ll leave you two to chat, I won’t disturb you..."
