Horror Camgirl - Ch. 71: I Have Connections
“Then… can I still bring him back?” I asked, trembling.
“You can.”
Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I heard him continue, “When you break through to the ninth rank, you will be able to use spatial treasures to traverse space and travel to other worlds.”
I clenched my fists. Talking to Jiu Lingzi felt like a rollercoaster ride; I had just reached the peak and suddenly plummeted to the depths.
The ninth rank—how distant that seemed! Would I really have a chance to reach the ninth rank in this lifetime?
“Instead of worrying about that, you should worry about yourself,” Jiu Lingzi said. “Your captors are coming.”
I was taken aback. I heard sounds of a struggle outside. Peeking through the door, I saw several tall men in white coats striding towards me.
The hospital security guards noticed something was off and attempted to intervene, but were swiftly taken down by each man with just a few moves.
Were they from the Lu Family?
Were they here to capture my brother? Then threaten me to help them treat Lu Qilin?
I grabbed a metal broom, locked the door, and turned to remove the equipment from my brother. At that moment, I felt a surge of energy outside, followed by a wave of heat, and then several cries of agony.
Just then, a tall figure appeared outside the door and lightly knocked, saying, “Madam Yuan, are you alright?”
It was Ye Xianluo!
I felt a surge of joy in my heart and opened the door. She smiled and pointed to the ground, saying, “Captain Jin sent me to protect you and Mr. Shen. I’ve already dealt with these men.”
Looking closely, I saw that the tall men were all scorched, their faces blackened and hair singed, but thankfully, none were dead.
The police arrived swiftly and took the men away. Ye Xianluo said, “Madam Yuan, rest assured, you were justified in this matter. Our Special Department will definitely support you. Besides, that Lu Qilin isn’t even a legitimate heir of the Jinling Lu Family. Even if he were, if he thinks he can act recklessly on our Shan City turf, he should think again. Our Shan City branch is not to be trifled with.”
I felt grateful and said, “Thank you, Miss Ye.”
“Don’t be so formal,” she laughed. “Just call me Xiao Luo.”
I nodded and said, “Then don’t call me Madam Yuan; just call me Jun Yao.”
“Let’s take care of each other from now on, Jun Yao.” She extended her hand, and I took it. I liked this girl’s personality; I had made a good friend.
Meanwhile, Lu Family’s mother and son were waiting for their subordinates to bring someone back.
Assistant Yu knocked and entered, looking somewhat grim. “Madam, Young Master, we’ve lost contact with the people we sent out.”
“What?” Lu Qilin suddenly stood up, his face pale. “You mean…”
Before he could finish, Lu Qilin’s young male assistant walked in, looking serious. “I just received a call from a friend at the police station. Those people have all been arrested by the police.”
Madam Lu took a deep breath and said sternly, “Xiao Yu, didn’t I ask you to greet the police chief?”
Assistant Yu looked distressed. “Madam, I did go to see him, and I found the mayor’s secretary. But afterward, she called back and told us not to stir up trouble in Shan City.”
Madam Lu narrowed her eyes slightly. “So someone is protecting Yuan Junyao from behind? Didn’t you say she has no connections? It seems she has quite a deep background.”
Before she could finish speaking, a servant outside said, “Madam, Young Master, there’s a lady claiming to be the Mayor’s Secretary who wishes to see you.”
Shan City’s mayor is a woman, so she naturally has a female secretary. Madam Lu quickly said, “Please bring her in.”
The Mayor’s Secretary appeared with a stern expression. Madam Lu approached her, hoping to engage in small talk, but the secretary’s serious demeanor interrupted her. “Madam Lu, no need for pleasantries. I’m here today to deliver an important message to both of you and then I’ll leave.”
Madam Lu’s expression shifted.
The Mayor’s Secretary continued, “Madam Lu has made significant investments in Shan City, and we have provided various policy incentives. We hope you two will consider this and avoid causing disturbances on Shan City’s territory, as it would make things very difficult for us.”
Lu Qilin shouted angrily, “I suffered such a great loss, and you expect me to let it go just like that?”
The Mayor’s Secretary glanced at him, a faint smile on her lips. “Our mayor mentioned that he has a connection with the traditional Chinese medicine expert, Master Zhang, in the capital, and he could introduce him to Young Master Lu.”
Lu Qilin wanted to say more but was stopped by his mother, whose face had paled but remained composed. “We understand. We will leave Shan City tonight.”
The Mayor’s Secretary nodded. “That’s good. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”
After she left, Lu Qilin fumed, “Mom, how could you…”
Madam Lu said in a low voice, “Enough! This is their territory. We are outsiders, and being reckless will only lead to losses. Let’s go back to Jinling and consider our next steps.”
I fed chicken soup through the feeding tube into An Yi’s stomach. His complexion became a bit rosier, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
After covering An Yi with a blanket, I turned to look at Ye Xianluo and asked, “Xiao Luo, have you been feeling a burning sensation in your chest lately? Night sweats and some headaches in the morning?”
Ye Xianluo was taken aback. “How did you know?”
“I’ll check your pulse.” I used my spiritual energy to examine her body and found accumulated heat in her energy sea, causing me to frown. “Did you forcefully break through to become a level-one Ability User?”
She nodded. “I’ve been stuck at this level for several years, so I used some methods to force the breakthrough.”
I sighed and shook my head. “That’s not good. You’ve damaged your foundation. Not only will you suffer from illness, but it will also hinder your future advancement.”
Ye Xianluo looked anxious. “What… should I do now?”
“Take off your clothes, just leave your undergarments on.” I pulled the curtains.
Ye Xianluo didn’t hesitate. Although she wasn’t particularly beautiful, she had a great figure. I used a special method to pat down her entire body, occasionally infusing her with a bit of spiritual energy. After almost an hour of treatment, I focused energy into her energy sea, and she let out a long breath of stagnant energy, feeling refreshed and lighter.
“How do you feel?” I asked.
Ye Xianluo exclaimed joyfully, “The burning sensation in my chest has disappeared! And…” She sensed the ability within her body and suddenly exclaimed, “I think I’ve broken through to mid-level one!”
I smiled and said, “Go wash up; otherwise, the nurse will come and scold you.”
She was drenched in sweat, emitting a terrible odor. She rushed into the bathroom and came out clean, not only looking fresher but also with her previously dark skin noticeably lighter.
“Jun Yao, I will always remember your kindness,” she said earnestly as she held my hand.
“I’m just returning a favor,” I replied. “I want to meet Captain Jin.”
Captain Jin arrived shortly after, and I handed him the recipe for the Detox Eight Treasure Soup. Without infusing spiritual energy, the effectiveness would be diminished, but it could still be used.
I had only one request: that the Special Department send someone to protect my brother, and I was willing to pay for it.
Captain Jin readily agreed and didn’t take my money; their department wasn’t short on funds.
After arranging for my brother’s safety, I finally sighed in relief. Otherwise, with anyone able to harm him, how could I expect to have peace in the future?
Before long, Tang Mingli returned from the capital. I went to the airport to pick him up and saw him stepping out in casual attire, looking fresh. A gentle warmth flowed through my heart.
“Jun Yao.” He walked straight over and gave me a big hug.
My face instantly turned red, and I quickly pulled away. “Not in public, please.”
He smiled, not minding at all.
I initially wanted to invite him to eat at a restaurant, but he was so used to my cooking that he couldn’t stomach any outside food.
He devoured a whole table of dishes in no time, looking satisfied. “Jun Yao, you don’t know, after spending over a week in the capital, I couldn’t eat the meals made by the auntie at home. They just can’t compare to your cooking.”
I chuckled and said, “Alright, enough flattery. Let’s talk about the next live stream.”
