Chapter 176: Greedy for Your Body, the Young Master Drinks Medicine
"How much?"
The calm voice came from Su Chen's mouth and fell in everyone's ears, causing waves of shock.
Chu Hong didn't react for a moment, and a look of anger flashed across her face for a moment, and she said sternly: "I don't need your money."
Suddenly, she changed the topic: "If you win, you can take him with you, but if you lose, you just need to take off your upper body clothes, how about that?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Chen frowned slightly. He really couldn't understand what was going on in this rich lady's mind.
"Don't, don't agree..."
At this time, Hong Chen, who had been unconscious for a long time, seemed to have heard Chu Hong's words and regained some consciousness. He said softly.
"What?" Qiu Sihai didn't hear clearly and asked subconsciously.
Hong Chen slowly raised his head, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he tried his best to spit out a few words: "She, she is greedy for your body..."
"Bastard, who asked you to speak? Give me a slap!" Before he finished speaking, Chu Hong shouted loudly.
Then he saw a young figure floating out. In the blink of an eye, he came to Hong Chen. He raised his palm and let it fall down.
When Qiu Sihai saw this, his pupils narrowed slightly and he wanted to take action, but it was too late.
Snapped!
A crisp slap suddenly sounded.
Then everyone saw a figure flying backwards like a sandbag and falling in the garden not far away.
When Chu Hong saw this scene, his eyes sparkled, and the covetousness deep in his eyes was almost real.
"How dare you attack my young lady's people? In today's competition, you have to compete even if you don't have to compete."
"enough!"
A cold voice rippled out, suppressing Chu Hong's anger.
Not far away, a woman in a yellow shirt walked towards her. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her face was cold.
"Sister Yun'er." Chu Hong, who was still arrogant and domineering just now, suddenly became as well-behaved as a little girl when she saw the visitor.
Chu Yun'er glared at Chu Hong, walked towards Su Chen, leaned over and said, "This matter is Chu Hong's fault. Please forgive me, Gang Leader Qiu and Deputy Gang Leader Su."
"Haha, Miss Yun'er is too polite." Seeing that Su Chen didn't speak, Qiu Sihai chuckled.
"Uncle Shou, please send them off." Chu Yun'er nodded and said to Chu Shou.
Chu Shou nodded, looking a little helpless.
In the entire Chu family, it is estimated that Chu Yun'er is the only one who can suppress Chu Hong, and the others have nothing to do with the willful Chu Hong.
"Sister Yun'er, you ruined my good deeds."
After Su Chen and the others left, Chu Hong pouted, stamped her feet, and said angrily.
Chu Yun'er was speechless for a while when she heard this. The so-called good thing Chu Hong said was just that she fell in love with Su Chen and wanted to recruit Su Chen as her boss.
"This person is the leader of the Sihai Gang after all. You can catch him if you want?" Chu Yun'er scolded.
Chu Hong didn't care at all and said with a smile: "So I let him compete with Uncle Chu Qing. If he loses, I will arrest him secretly."
"What if we win?"
"That would be even better."
Chu Yun'er: "..."
…
I learned from Hong Chen that one of Chu Yun'er's hobbies was seeing people shirtless.
Back then, Chu Yun'er discovered that Hong Chen's upper body clothes were torn apart after being beaten by others unintentionally, so he was spotted and taken away.
Unexpectedly, she would now set her sights on Su Chen again.
Fortunately, Su Chen didn't compete with her, otherwise, who knows what amazing things Chu Hong would do.
Su Chen didn't care. He didn't care about anyone around Chu Hong. The only thing that surprised him a little was Chu Hong's hobby.
But when I thought about it, I realized that the rich people in my previous life had more tasteful habits than this, and I felt relieved.
Because Hong Chen was injured, the three of them didn't go quickly, and it took them nearly two hours to get back to Fengbei City.
After entering the city, Qiu Sihai said goodbye to the two of them.
Su Chen brought Hong Chen directly to Hong Ming's mansion.
"Chen'er, Chen'er, are you okay..."
Seeing Hong Chen, Tan Xue hurried over, tears streaming down her face, and a smile appeared on Hong Chen's pale face: "Mom, I'm fine."
"Thank you, Su Chen. Thank you very much this time." Tan Xue nodded happily and turned to thank Su Chen frequently.
Su Chen waved his hands repeatedly, and managed to stop the mother and son from kowtowing in thanks.
"Master, I have something to do, so I will leave first. Aunt Xue and the others will be left to you."
After chatting with a few people for a while, Su Chen stood up to say goodbye, and turned to Tan Xue and said, "Aunt Xue, if you have anything to do, you can go directly to Qiao Mansion to find me. I should be there these days."
"Okay." Tan Xue nodded.
Looking at Su Chen winking, Hong Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
When Su Chen left, he looked at Tan Xue and Hong Chen and said, "Xue'er, Xiaochen, why don't you stay at my place these days, so as not to be watched by others."
Tan Xue glanced at Hong Chen hesitantly, and seeing that he didn't speak, she nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Brother Ming."
…
Two days flew by.
After learning from Qiao Qiliang that Tan Xue, mother and son, were temporarily living in the Hongming Mansion, Su Chen began to concentrate on his own affairs.
yard.
Su Chen stood with his body hunched, his hands slightly raised, and a little golden light appeared near his arms.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that there were ten golden needles floating near his arms.
Today, Su Chen has condensed ten golden needles, and his control over his power has also improved a lot.
Now he mobilizes so much energy that he can hit seven points, and his power is even greater than before.
Buzz buzz.
The golden needle vibrated and made a roaring sound.
The ten golden needles occupy different positions and seem to imply a certain pattern.
As Su Chen gave a soft drink, the ten silver needles trembled violently and shot out suddenly, like ten light points converging into a curved line of light.
If a warrior in the bone forging realm stood in front of these ten golden needles, he would definitely feel like there was nowhere to escape.
This is a power-generating technique that Su Chen just learned from the golden needle secret book. He can block the enemy's retreat by counting one step at a time and three steps at a time.
Although I haven't mastered it yet, it has begun to take shape.
As long as you practice diligently, even if you are facing the same level, you can easily catch the opponent by surprise and give the opponent a painful blow.
Walking ten meters away, Su Chen withdrew the ten golden needles in time. He didn't want to smash the entire wall like last time and become an expert in demolishing walls.
After repeating the practice more than ten times, Su Chen initially mastered ten golden needles, and then he began to configure the soul-inducing incense and the soul-inducing powder.
There hasn't been much progress in refining Qi and Blood Pills recently, but there has been some progress in improving the soul-inducing incense and the soul-inducing powder.
After dinner in the evening, Su Chen originally planned to go into the secret room to refine Qi and Blood Pills, but he never expected to learn that Qiao Qiliang was suddenly seriously ill and bedridden at home.
Su Chen was confused. With Qiao Qiliang's constitution, a cold would not be so serious.
"Uncle, how is Qiliang?"
Qiao Renzhou was also in the room, with a look of worry on his tired face.
After hearing Su Chen's words, Qiao Renzhou replied: "The doctor still said he was infected with cold and prescribed some medicine for him."
Su Chen nodded without saying anything. After the doctor left, he came to the bed and looked at the unconscious Qiao Qiliang with a solemn expression.
After thinking about it, he grabbed Qiao Qiliang's wrist and mobilized the strength in his body to enter Qiao Qiliang's body.
"Um?"
As soon as he entered, Su Chen noticed something was wrong. How could the body of a bone-forging warrior become so bad, not even as good as Hong Chen.
He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, held his breath and continued to mobilize his efforts to find the cause.
As the Vajra Power circulated around Qiao Qiliang's internal organs, Su Chen's brows became more and more frowned.
There was a hidden force in Qiao Qiliang's body, flowing through his limbs and bones together with the rest of the force.
But this ray of power was not tempered, but corroded, silently eroding Qiao Qiliang's internal organs.
Every time it flows through a circle, it erodes a little bit, like an iron pestle ground into a needle, which is difficult to detect.
If Su Chen hadn't checked several times, he might not have been able to discover this hidden power.
"It seems that the real cause of Qiao Qiliang's illness is this power!"
With a thought in his mind, Su Chen mobilized the Vajra Power in his body to rush towards Qiao Qiliang's body. He planned to force this power out first.
This force seemed to be aware of the power of Vajra Jin, and did not dare to face Vajra Jin directly. Instead, it ran away frantically, trying to hide in Qiao Qiliang's power to confuse the audience.
However, it obviously underestimated the power of Su Chen's King Kong Jin.
Before it could escape, the Vajra Power like a surging river swept over like an overwhelming wave, directly annihilating this power.
At this moment, Qiao Qiliang, who had been unconscious, coughed heavily and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Qiao Renzhou was shocked when he saw this scene, and then his face became serious.
After a while, Su Chen opened his eyes, stood up and said to Qiao Renzhou: "Uncle Qiao, seal the room. Don't let anyone in or out except you and me."
Qiao Renzhou complied.
The doors and windows of the room were closed, leaving only three people in the room.
"Xiao Chen, what happened to Qi Liang?" Qiao Renzhou had a vague suspicion in his heart, but he still asked.
Su Chen replied: "He has been chronically poisoned."
The force just now is actually a kind of toxin, which is very concealed and can attach to the force and eat away at the body functions of the warrior like water droplets piercing a stone.
Over time, the warrior himself may not even know how he died.
"Do you know what the poison is?" Qiao Renzhou asked with a gloomy face.
Su Chen shook his head: "I have never seen this kind of poison."
Qiao Renzhou looked solemn when he heard this. If he didn't know what the poison was, it might be difficult to find out the person who poisoned it.
After all, Qiao Qiliang was not like Su Chen, who stayed in the yard to practice every day.
In addition to being the son of the city lord, he is also the actual leader of the Sihai Gang. He needs to socialize and goes to many places every day.
If he really wanted to investigate, he might have been poisoned anywhere he went, and anyone he met might be the murderer.
If you want to find the murderer, you will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack.
Neither of them spoke, waiting for Qiao Qiliang to wake up. Now they could only find clues from him.
After drinking tea, Qiao Qiliang woke up in a daze. He felt that his physical condition was better than ever.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Renzhou and Su Chen staring directly at him, which made him a little confused: "What's wrong?"
When Qiao Renzhou saw this, he smiled bitterly and told him the whole story.
"I have been poisoned?"
Qiao Qiliang was startled when he heard this, and slowly sat up, "No wonder I always feel that my body is getting worse day by day. At first, I thought it was because I worked too hard."
"When do you think this situation occurred?" Su Chen asked.
"It was about half a month ago. I had a cough at that time." Qiao Qiliang thought about it.
"Do you still remember the strange people you met and the strange things you ate at that time?"
"It's been a while, I don't remember." Qiao Qiliang shook his head.
Seeing that Su Chen didn't speak, the father and son looked at each other.
Qiao Renzhou said: "Xiaochen, if you have any ideas, just say it. Qiliang and I will fully cooperate with you."
"Yes, you dare to poison me, how can I let this person go so easily!" Qiao Qiliang snorted coldly.
Su Chen heard this and expressed his thoughts: "The toxins in your body need to accumulate over time, so I suspect that it was the poison from the people around you."
"The people around me?"
"Um."
Chronic and highly toxic, most of them need to be taken continuously, otherwise the toxicity will weaken.
What's more, Qiao Qiliang is still a bone-forging perfection warrior. No matter how poisonous he is, if he can't kill him with one blow, he will be weak for a long time. When the time comes, he will be destroyed and annihilated by the power in his body, and he will recover automatically.
In addition, the murderer clearly wanted Qiao Qiliang's death to be kept secret and to avoid getting into trouble when he poisoned him.
This gave Su Chen more reason to speculate that the person who poisoned him should be someone close to Qiao Qiliang, and this person was deeply trusted by him.
Otherwise, how could Qiao Qiliang take poison every day without knowing it.
After listening to Su Chen's story, Qiao Qiliang fell into deep thought.
After recovering from a serious illness, his mind was a little confused, and the first thing he thought of was Qiao Renzhou and Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing his expression tightening, he said, "Don't worry, you can rest for a night and then think about it slowly."
"good!"
The next morning.
Before Su Chen went to find Qiao Qiliang, Qiao Qiliang dragged his 'seriously ill' body to find him.
"What are you doing?" Su Chen asked curiously, looking at Qiao Qiliang who was coughing like a dying person.
"I'm pretending." Qiao Qiliang looked around and saw that there were no maids or slaves around. He smiled and said, "I thought about it all day last night and came up with three suspicious people."
"Which three?"
"One is Qiao Zhi, the gang's deputy, and the other two are personal maids, Chunhua and Qiuyue."
"Tell me more about it."
"Qiao Zhi is like my bodyguard. I usually take him with me when I go out. Qiao Zhi has been loyal to our Qiao family for generations. The whole family works for my father and me. This is a lesson in loyalty.
As for Chunhua and Qiuyue, my food, clothing, housing and transportation in the house are all arranged by them.
Chunhua grew up with me, and Qiuyue was accidentally purchased by me a few years ago. I saw her water-like beauty, so I...
However, after so many years, she has been diligent and stable in her duties. "
Qiao Qiliang was thinking as he talked. After thinking about it, he realized that the three of them were suspicious.
"so……"
…
The night is as cold as water, and the weather has not yet fully warmed up.
In the study, Qiao Qiliang was diligently handling the affairs of the Sihai Gang.
Squeak.
The door opened, cold wind penetrated into the room, and quickly dissipated, a beautiful figure walked in.
"Sir, let's drink some ginger soup." Qiuyue came over with a bowl of steaming ginger soup.
"good!"
Qiao Qiliang took the bowl and spoon and took a sip.
He looked at Qiuyue and said expressionlessly: "Qiuyue, I usually treat you well, why do you want to poison me?"
"Master, you, what did you say?" Qiu Yue was stunned when she heard the words.
"Hmph!" Qiao Qiliang snorted coldly and glared at Qiuyue, "Still pretending? Do you really think I can't discover your tricks?"
After that, he threw it hard, and with a bang, the bowl and spoon shattered, and the soup spilled on the floor.
Plop.
Her beautiful face turned pale under the autumn moon, and she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, I really don't know what you are talking about..."
"How dare you argue that this bowl of ginger soup is poisonous!" Qiao Qiliang shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Qiu Yue lost her voice and said: "It's poisonous, no, it's impossible. I definitely didn't harm you. It's Sister Chunhua. This bowl of ginger soup was made by Sister Chunhua. Master, I'm unjust..."
"Spring flowers?" Qiao Qiliang was stunned for a moment.
After a while, Chunhua was called over. When she saw Qiao Qiliang, she bowed and saluted.
"Chunhua, did you make this bowl of soup?" Qiao Qiliang asked straight to the point.
Chunhua nodded: "Young Master, it was my slave who cooked this."
These words made Qiao Qiliang's face darken: "Catch her."
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards took Chunhua into custody. Chunhua's face changed greatly when she saw this: "Master, you..."
Qiao Qiliang waved his hand, and the guards immediately took Chunhua out.
"Qiuyue, Master has misunderstood you."
After Qiu Yue was the only one left in the room, Qiao Qiliang rubbed his brow and said softly.
"Sir, don't say that. I feel happy that I can catch the murderer after suffering a little injustice." Qiuyue Lihua said with rain.
Qiao Qiliang smiled and asked Qiuyue to go back and rest early.
"The slave has retreated."
Qiuyue lowered her head, left the study, closed the door softly, and then walked away.
"call!"
As the steps went further, Qiuyue's tight body relaxed slightly, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
Although I don't know how my affair was exposed, I can't think too much about it at the moment.
We must take advantage of the fact that Qiao Qiliang has not yet found out the truth, eliminate the evidence as soon as possible, and place the crime on Chunhua so that he can escape.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but speed up and return to the room.
Because she was Qiao Qiliang's personal maid, she and Chunhua each lived in a room.
After returning to the house, Qiuyue took out a packet of medicinal powder from the gap in the bed and hid it.
After taking a few deep breaths and trying to calm down her mood, a fierce look flashed across her face.
Later, Qiuyue deliberately walked in after the guards searched Chunhua's room, but she didn't stay long.
"Sir, Qiuyue has something important to report."
Qiuyue's voice sounded outside the study, and she quickly received a response: "Come in."
Entering the study again, Qiuyue found that there was one more person in the study. Su Chen was sitting aside, holding a medical book in his hand and reading with interest.
She recognized Su Chen and didn't pay attention. Instead, she bowed and said, "Sir, I just went to Chunhua's room and found a packet of medicine from her room."
With that said, Qiuyue handed over the medicinal powder with both hands.
"Oh? Really? Bring it over and show it to me." Qiao Qiliang's voice was a little cold.
Qiuyue stood up, lowered her head, and handed the medicine to Qiao Qiliang.
Qiao Qiliang took the medicine and glanced at Su Chen. Su Chen put down the book and said something that made Qiu Yue tremble:
"Are you sure this packet of medicine belongs to Chunhua and not you?"
