Chapter 145: It’s All the Red Liquors Fault (2/2)
Back in his room, Ye Chong spoke to Shang.
”Shang, do you know what’s going on?” Ye Chong expressed his confusion. Through it all, he understood nothing.
”Based on her actions, she probably has a very deep history with the necklace!” Shang’s reply came like a sigh.
”History?” Ye Chong still did not quite understand.
”She’s probably some relative of hers.”
”Relative? How did you know?” Ye Chong asked in bafflement.
”Sigh, how can you not understand something so simple? Sigh, I suppose so, a guy like you probably will not spend time on watching movies and the like, it’s only natural that you cannot understand! However, do you have any better guess?” Shang spoke derisively.
”No!” Ye Chong’s answer was brisk.
”And there you have it!”
”Shang, are you sure you’re alright?” Ye Chong asked out of concern. As he had gotten used to Shang’s usual non-stop blabbering, Shang’s quietness now was a little unsettling.
”Problem? Me, having a problem? The probability for that is very small. Even a logical mistake that is fatal for the average PSI is not all that fatal to me. So, about this, you don’t have to worry, Ye. As for my current state, that’s because I and Mu are trying to recover some damaged data. 90 percent of our resources are currently spent there.” Shang explained.
”Damaged data? It is from before?” Ye Chong asked.
”Yes. We found that some of them could potentially be recovered, and so we had tried various methods of recovery, but the results do not seem good!”
”Oh, don’t rush yourselves!” Ye Chong could only console them.
Knock knock! The sound came from the door.
With Ye Chong’s hearing sense, he could already hear Lunatic Guan’s footsteps. Her act of knocking, however, was a surprise to Ye Chong, since barging in seemed more of her style.
Lifting his head, he saw Lunatic Guan entering the room with her eyes red and swollen, with wet tracks on her face. Lunatic Guan came in and immediately questioned, ”Where did you get this necklace from?”
”Where did I get it from?” Ye Chong was about to answer, when all of a sudden he realized that his relationship with Guardian would be exposed. Ye Chong reacted vigilantly and opted for silence. Lunatic Guan was not someone he trusted, not like with Hei Zi and the old man.
”Tell me!” Witnessing Ye Chong remaining silent, Lunatic Guan grew anxious.
Ye Chong kept his silence, knowing that this would better serve to protect him.
Something flashed past in Lunatic Guan’s eyes, and she spoke in a sigh, ”Are you really not telling?”
Planning to keep his silence, Ye Chong suddenly noticed his vision getting more and more blurry, and colors began swirling around as Shang’s panicking voice came from somewhere far away. Ye Chong was still in a daze, not realizing what was happening. He was about to call for Shang, but he blacked out.
Lunatic Guan looked at Ye Chong, lying on the floor, and sighed delicately, ”Little Ye, I don’t want to do this, but if you’re not telling, I’ll have to make you!”
Lunatic Guan immediately shut all the doors outside and, ignoring Ye Chong on the floor, hastened to the innermost room and removed a few bottles of reagents from the shelves in a corner.
Lunatic Guan focused intently, her hands moving at a dazzling speed. If Ye Chong were awake now, he would definitely be impressed by Lunatic Guan’s deft and precise movements. Before long, she had a bottle of light purple reagent before her.
Carefully holding the reagent against the light, she could see a few thin silver lines in the light purple reagent.
”This should be right!” Lunatic Guan muttered to herself.
She dashed towards Ye Chong, crouched beside him, and place the bottle of reagent before Ye Chong’s nose before removing the bottle cap. Light purple mist rose from the opening, scattered with fine silver sparkles. The mist swirled like an enchanted snake and found its way into Ye Chong’s nostrils.
Lunatic Guan’s misted eyes flashed with regret, but it was immediately replaced by certain determination.
