My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 479: The Revenge Begins

"Your meaning is..."

Phoenix's expression stiffened for a moment, as she followed Qin Yu's gaze and quickly understood his implication.

The Soul-Separating Gu preferred soft and warm places, most likely hiding near her own chest.

Previously, Divine Doctors had also used acupuncture to try to drive out the Gu poison, but they had only ever needled their own wrists and arms.

None of them had ever dared to suggest needling her chest.

That would be a complete desecration of her.

"Miss Phoenix, whether you want to use this method to force out the Gu poison is for you to decide,"

Seeing Phoenix's strong aversion to being needled in the chest, Qin Yu gave her the choice.

If she agreed, he would proceed with the treatment; if she objected, then that would be the end of it.

Otherwise, it would seem as though he harbored some ulterior motive toward her, which could lead to big trouble if it angered her.

He was indeed eager to have the Red Crystal, but he had to ensure his own survival first.

"..."

Phoenix gently bit her lip, silent for a moment before waving her arm, "You can go back. If any word of my being poisoned with the Gu leaks out, I will kill you!"

"Understood!"

Qin Yu nodded, feeling a trace of disappointment.

He hadn't expected that, in the end, he would still miss out on the Red Crystal.

With nothing more to say, he opened the courtyard door and walked out.

The man in black stood not far away, glancing briefly at Phoenix in the back garden before escorting Qin Yu out of the estate.

After getting into the car, Han Bing started driving, then looked in the rearview mirror and asked, "Who did you see when you went in?"

"Um... can I not say?"

Before leaving, Phoenix had made him promise not to disclose her affliction with the Gu to anyone. So Qin Yu decided not to tell even Han Bing, to avoid any further trouble.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

He could just about handle confronting Zhao Qilin directly, but if he truly angered Phoenix, whose every subordinate was at the Pill Holding Realm, he wouldn't stand a chance of surviving.

"...Alright then,"

Han Bing pursed her lips and ultimately did not press further.

After returning to the city, Han Bing went to the Seventh Department, while Qin Yu took a taxi back to the villa.

Once inside, he didn't dwell on the matter of the Red Crystal any longer and sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, practicing the Shen Zhao Jing.

He aimed to restore his cultivation before Zhao Qilin fully recovered from his injuries, so he would at least have some fighting power.

Otherwise, any martial artist could easily put an end to him in his current broken state.

At this very moment.

In a hospital, a luxurious ward.

The pale-faced Zhao Qilin lay in bed, also diligently using his mental method to heal his injuries.

Thump thump...

"Boss!"

As knocking sounds rang out, a figure appeared at the doorway of the ward.

"Come in!"

Zhao Qilin opened his eyes and half-sat up.

Cre-eak...

A youth wearing a duckbill cap, with an ordinary appearance, pushed open the door and walked in. He asked with concern, "Boss, are you alright?"

"Just a minor injury, I won't die. What's up, speak!"

Zhao Qilin spoke indifferently as he gazed at the youth with the duckbill cap.

"Three pieces of news. First, the pinhole camera I installed in Han Bing's room has captured something. Qin Yu and Han Bing are indeed involved; they were sleeping in the same bed. Maybe because he's injured, nothing else happened. I've copied all the surveillance footage, I'll send it to you right now!"

The young man in a duckbill cap took out his phone and said.

"No rush, sleeping in the same bed without doing anything doesn't prove much. Tell me about the other two things!"

Zhao Qilin waved his arm and said.

"You asked me to investigate Yan Mingyu's background, and I've got it clear. Before she turned twenty-five, she always had two names. At home, she was called Yan Mingyu, but outside, she mostly went by Yang Xue. Two years ago, she got married. Her husband is her bodyguard, Qin Yu."

The young man in the duckbill cap was Zhao Qilin's subordinate, a member of the seventh section; investigating someone's background was just too easy for them.

"Oh?"

Zhao Qilin revealed a hint of surprise, he really hadn't expected that Qin Yu, that damn thing, was actually Yan Mingyu's husband. No wonder when he made moves on Yan Mingyu, Qin Yu fought him so desperately, so they were a married couple.

"Continue..."

Zhao Qilin gestured for him to go on, then started spinning his eyes.

"The third piece of news is that Phoenix is still in Jinling, living in Greenery Manor in the suburbs. She met with Qin Yu this morning and stayed for almost half an hour before leaving."

Since Zhao Qilin had the young man in the duckbill cap keep a close watch on Qin Yu, he was very familiar with Qin Yu's every move.

"Got it, keep watching Qin Yu!"

After a suspicious look flashed in Zhao Qilin's eyes, he waved his arm, and the young man in the duckbill cap left the room, closing the door behind him.

So it seems that what that dog, Qin Yu, said last night was true: Phoenix is sick and won't live long, which is why she stayed in Jinling and met with him.

But surely, there must be a master protecting her by her side.

Zhao Qilin stroked his chin, his mind lingering on the Red Crystal. If he could get it, he was sure he could break through to the Pill Holding Realm.

It looks like it's time for him to set up a perfect chess game.

Zhao Qilin's eyes moved around as his expression changed unpredictably. After about ten minutes or so, he finally revealed a sinister smile.

That's the plan, kill two birds with one stone, and get rid of that dog, Qin Yu!

Noon.

Qin Yu ordered some takeout and was eating when his phone rang. It was his father calling.

"Hello, Dad!"

Qin Yu answered the call.

"Xiao Yu, do you remember the explosion case from a few months ago in the rental house? It was already closed, but the police station said that a special department has restarted the investigation and they have taken me to the police station, saying they would detain me. Do you know anyone, son? I really don't want to spend New Year in detention!"

Qin Jianjun's somewhat anxious voice came through the phone.

"This... Dad, wait a moment, I'll make a call to ask around!"

Qin Yu's heart sank instinctively scenting a hint of conspiracy.

The rental house explosion, which had killed a property staff member, had already been closed with his father compensating with a sum of money. But what did it mean for a special department to get involved?

After hanging up with his father, Qin Yu called Lu Wenrou since she had connections in the East Sea and might be able to find out what was really going on.

Beep Beep...

"Hello, Wenrou. My dad has been detained by the police. Can you help me find out what's going on? Wasn't the explosion case in the rental house already closed?"

Once Lu Wenrou's call connected, Qin Yu got straight to the point.

"Okay, I'll get back to you in a bit!"

Lu Wenrou didn't ask much; she hung up, and in less than five minutes, she called back Qin Yu, "Got it, it's the seventh section's doing. They want to reopen the case. After all, someone died. I can't intervene if they get involved."

"The seventh section... right, got it!"

Qin Yu's heart sank, his suspicions confirmed, Zhao Qilin's revenge had begun.

Instead of framing him, he had chosen to reopen the previous rental house explosion case, a move that could withstand scrutiny from every angle.

Such a cunning tactic!

Qin Yu was angry but helpless. If the victims' family were swayed by the seventh section to relentlessly pursue his father, it was very likely he'd end up in jail.

This was troubling!
