Chapter 166 - Deadend? (1/2)

After a while of staring at the bright laptop screen, Ariana's eyes started to water up. Seeing that her eyes were showing signs of irritation, Susu forced her to rest. She was reluctant at first, but her sleepiness kicked in.

”Wait! Just let me press the enter key first. Let the code load by itself. I'll rest for the time being.” Ariana said as she hugged her laptop, refusing to let anyone touch it.

Susu sighed, ”Fine! But only a few more minutes.”

As promised, Ariana ran the program she had coded and put her laptop aside. While they rested, the guys came into the room to announce their research results.

Chen Nan gave Ariana a peck on the forehead before telling them the results. The expressions they showed already summed up what they were about to say to them.

Chen Mu frowned and shook his head, ”We've repeated the same procedures for research on all machines, and it came out to an error code. Something is weird about this pill, but we can't risk it because we only have one. If we make the wrong guess, then this pill will be destroyed.”

Ariana picked up her laptop and started scrolling through the information that popped up on her screen. ”Tsk, some bastard cleared Shi Kow Wan's data. The data only shows that he was the founder of Shi Corps and his retirement date. Nothing else. Interesting. If we go back there, we better get ready for a war because there's literally little to no information for us to use as an advantage.”

”I'll dig up information about the rest of the Shi family like Shi Huang Jie, Shi Shan Shan and whoever else could benefit from the company. While I'm at it, I might as well search their most visited places to see if there is anything suspicious.” Clicking her tongue, she started typing again.

At the same time, Susu's hands slowly reached to her lower abdomen. After a few minutes of enduring the throbbing pain in her stomach, she bit her lip and pressed hard onto her tummy. Noticing the faint and fatigue feeling from her body, she lost her balance and fell onto Chen Mu.

”Susu? What's wrong?” Chen Mu picked her up and rest her on the empty bed next to Ariana's bed. Her clothes were drenched in her cold sweat with visible perspiration droplets forming on her forehead and neck.

”My tummy hurts..” Susu whispered as her heavy eyelids barely had the strength to lift up. Her hand clenched onto her lower abdomen area with the minimal energy she had left.

Grabbing the medical kit, he had previously prepared for Ariana; Chen Mu took out the glucose test device. Taking a strip and new needle, he took a drip of blood from her finger. Checking the results from the device, his eyes widened in shock and demanded someone to bring something sweet for her.

”This is impossible! She just ate less than an hour ago, but her body has an abnormally low glucose level! It's so low that it is close to having barely any! Quick! Lollipop! There are lollipops at the main counter. Anything is fine as long as it is sweet!”

Lin Que rushed out and came back with a bowl of lollipops. Unwrapping one lollipop, he stuffed it into Susu's mouth. Meanwhile, Chen Nan poured a cup of water and mixed sugar packets into it.

”Take out the lollipop and have her drink this first. She's dehydrated. Have her drink some fluids before sucking on the lollipop.” Chen Mu took the cup of sugar water and fed it slowly to Susu's mouth. She mumbled, ”Bathroom..”

”You need to use the bathroom? Hold on, I'll bring you to it.” He put down the empty cup and carried her to the private bathroom. Zi Yan and Lily followed along since they were female. It is more convenient for them to help Susu than Chen Mu in this situation.

Every few minutes, Chen Mu would ask them about Susu's condition. After half an hour had passed, Zi Yan and Lily helped carry Susu out. While helping her settle under covers, Chen Mu felt her forehead. ”Her forehead is cold.”

She shivered and chanted, ”Cold..Cold..” Her body trembled in bed as they added two more blankets to warm her body up. When Chen Mu felt her neck, hands and feet, he also found them cold. ”Lin Que, get the heat packs from my office. It's in the second drawer of my desk. Hurry. Her body temperature is very low.”
