The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 131: Encountering the Gu Worm Again



About four to five minutes later, Yan Qianqian came out of the bathroom.

Her originally pale face now had a hint of color, and her spirit had improved significantly.

This was different from pretense; at this moment, Yan Qianqian's eyes were bright and lively.

"Tang Rao, brother, what did you give me? It's magical! I feel... I feel as if I'm completely healed," Yan Qianqian said excitedly.

She knew her own body, and after taking that medicine pill from Tang Rao, it felt as if her body had been cleansed.

"It's not completely healed, that still depends on your brother. But for the next month, you can eat and play without worrying about anything. You can even be discharged from the hospital," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Yan Qianqian's body, relying on medical methods, was basically beyond help.

Thus, in Tang Rao's view, there was no need for her to stay in the hospital day after day.

"Brother, is that possible?" Yan Qianqian looked at Yan Wei, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Clearly, Yan Qianqian did not want to stay in the hospital.

"Tomorrow morning, I will handle the discharge procedures. Rest well tonight, Tang Rao and I have some matters to attend to," Yan Wei said gently to Yan Qianqian.

"Really, brother? You promise?" Yan Qianqian suddenly became excited.

She had already been in the hospital for three months and really didn't want to stay any longer.

"Of course," Yan Wei said with a smile.

The three months of Qianqian's hospitalization had been extremely hard on him as well.

"Then you guys go and handle your matters; I'm okay by myself," Yan Qianqian immediately said.

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

After giving a few instructions, Yan Wei left the hospital with Tang Rao.

The car got on the expressway and traveled twenty kilometers east.

Yan Wei had arranged Gu Shengtai in a small warehouse in the suburbs, a place few knew about.

Entering the warehouse, there was an unpleasant smell.

"Snap!" Yan Wei turned on the light, the dark warehouse was lit by an orange-yellow light.

Gu Shengtai, firmly tied to a fixed iron chair with a cloth gag in his mouth, had his head tilted.

Hearing the noise, Gu Shengtai raised his head slightly and opened his eyes.

"Tang Rao…" Seeing Tang Rao in front of him, Gu Shengtai's eyes brightened a bit.

"Little Gu, you've really suffered," Tang Rao said with narrowed eyes.

Gu Shengtai didn't respond; he still couldn't figure out Tang Rao's intentions.

"Speaking of which, you really are ruthless," Tang Rao said with a smile, "I was almost deceived by you."

Initially, when Gu Shengtai made a move against Jiang Langhuan, he was brutally abused.

Throughout the process, Gu Shengtai exhibited arrogance and ignorance.

But in reality, that was not the case, Gu Shengtai was absolutely not stupid, in fact, his careful thoughts made him quite smart.

"I... don't know what you're talking about," Gu Shengtai shook his head, his eyes occasionally glancing at Tang Rao.

"Don't know? Want to see how He Fei died?" Tang Rao took two photos from his chest pocket and handed them to Gu Shengtai.

These were obtained by Qing Chuan, taken in the mortuary; the deceased was He Fei.

Except for a face that was still intact, the rest of the body looked utterly disgusting.

Gu Shengtai's face instantly changed.

As for Yan Wei, he also deeply looked at Tang Rao; he hadn't accessed any of these details.

"Let's hear it," Tang Rao pulled up a chair and sat down, his expression calm.

Gu Shengtai slowly exhaled, knowing that keeping silent now was meaningless.

"He Fei instructed me to do it, but I don't know why," Gu Shengtai said.

"Drugging Jiang Langhuan and then waiting for my arrival?" Tang Rao asked.

"Yes." Gu Shengtai nodded, "From the beginning, my target was you. As for Jiang Langhuan, I never thought about doing anything to her."

Beside him, Yan Wei's breath hitched, the whole matter was actually targeting Tang Rao.

"He Fei didn't tell you his purpose? You didn't bother to find out?" Tang Rao pressed on.

"I don't know. After finishing the task, I went to look for He Fei."

"And then, you couldn't find He Fei, but someone nearly blew you up, right?" Tang Rao added.

Gu Shengtai nodded, Tang Rao indeed knew everything.

"That's all I know, the rest... I really don't know." Gu Shengtai looked at Tang Rao, his eyes unwavering.

"Tang Rao, it doesn't make sense," Yan Wei chimed in from the side. "If the target is you, why? Without reason, is it just to get beaten up by you?"

"Exactly, just to get beaten up by me," Tang Rao nodded, pointing at Gu Shengtai.

Both Yan Wei and Gu Shengtai were stunned, not quite understanding Tang Rao's reasoning.

"Think about it again," Tang Rao urged Yan Wei.

Yan Wei's brows furrowed, quickly analyzing things he had recently investigated.

Sifting through the information, integrating it, and then relating it to Tang Rao's words.

"So, you mean that someone is directing He Fei from behind, but it's not the Sword Sect, Wangu Sect, or Yin Yang Valley? That person behind the scenes aims to set you up?" Yan Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.

If Gu Shengtai is found dead, it would directly provoke a conflict between Tang Rao and these three Sects.

"Bingo!" Tang Rao snapped his fingers.

"That's too insidious." Realizing this, Yan Wei couldn't help but draw a cold breath.

Although Yan Wei is smart and excels at collecting information, he is still just a college student, and there are many things he hasn't fully experienced yet. The maliciousness and darkness of human nature aren't as simple as he imagined.

"No treachery is new to me," Tang Rao sneered, having seen every kind of conspiracy and trick across the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains.

As for Gu Shengtai, he furrowed his brows tightly, completely unaware of what the Sword Sect, Wangu Sect, or Yin Yang Valley were.

"Hummm." Suddenly, a low and deep noise came through.

Like the buzzing of a fly flapping its wings.

Tang Rao's expression turned drastically. This is bad!

"Yan Wei, stay here, no matter what happens, don't come out!" Tang Rao instructed Yan Wei, then dashed out of the warehouse.

He had heard this droning sound before.

The golden poison insect, Wangu Sect!

Damn it, they have followed here.

Just as he left the warehouse, Tang Rao spotted the enormous golden poison insect in mid-air.

Its corpulent body and those disproportionately small half-wings seemed extremely mismatched.

Between its sharp fangs, there was a huge tube, about half a meter long and as thick as a thumb.

Clearly, this tube was the Absorption Device, and once it pierced into the body, one would likely be drained in an instant.

"Since you've followed here, why not show yourself?" Tang Rao took a deep breath and said calmly.

Clearly, this poison insect was controlled by someone.

"Heh heh!" A sinister laugh suddenly erupted, then through the cover of the night, a figure flickered in and out of sight.

"Tang Rao, right? Such strong vitality, tsk tsk tsk, just perfect for my precious one's dinner," a creepy voice sounded, making one's skin crawl.
