Chapter 245 Undercurrents

Lu Qingyun walked up to the pirate leader and looked down at him. His cold eyes seemed to contain a biting cold, which made people shudder. "Tell me! Who sent you here?"

The pirate leader glared at Lu Qingyun fiercely, turned his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Qingyun's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he kicked the pirate leader in the stomach without mercy.

This kick was so powerful that the pirate leader was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground holding his stomach.

The other pirates were so scared when they saw this scene that they trembled.

"Tell me or not?" Lu Qingyun's voice revealed a strong sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

The pirate leader gritted his teeth and didn't dare to look Lu Qingyun in the eye.

Ling Yao walked up to him, grabbed Lu Qingyun who was about to attack again, handed him a pill, and smiled slyly, "This will be more effective." Lu

Qingyun raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, reached out to take the pill, bent down, stretched out his hand to pinch the pirate leader's chin, and threw the pill into the pirate leader's mouth.

The pirate leader's eyes were full of fear, he wanted to spit out the medicine, but the medicine had already dissolved in his mouth.

Lu Qingyun let go of the pirate leader's chin and stood up straight, "Who sent you? What's the purpose?"

The pirate leader's eyes gradually became confused, "It was Anthony Jack... Anthony Jack asked me to kill Anthony Jayce and Alice, as well as two doctors going to the United States..."

"Why kill those two doctors?" Lu Qingyun and Ling Yao looked at each other, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"Because someone doesn't want to cure the president's daughter..."

After the pirate leader told the whole story, Lu Qingyun handed over several pirates to the captain of the ship for handling.

A thrilling crisis finally came to an end. Everyone on the ship breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had experienced a rebirth after a life-and-death catastrophe.

Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun returned to the room, and before they had time to sit down, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Qingyun walked up and opened the door, only to see Anthony Jaycee and Alice standing outside.

"Mr. Ling! We are here to thank you and Miss Ji. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid we would have met with an accident. Please accept this modest gift." Anthony Jaycee said as he handed a black card to Lu Qingyun.

Ling Yao walked forward and her eyes fell on the card in Anthony Jayce's hand. The card was pitch black and radiated a mysterious light. One could tell at a glance that this card was extraordinary.

"This is the black gold VIP card of our Anthony family. As long as you hold it, you can enjoy VIP treatment at any store of our family without paying any fees."

Lu Qingyun turned around and asked Ling Yao what she meant.

Ling Yao smiled slightly and nodded. Although she might not use this card in the future, since it was a token of his kindness, she accepted it.

Seeing Lu Qingyun reaching out to take it, Anthony Jayce was very happy. He took out an exquisite box from his pocket, opened it, and handed it to Lu Qingyun and Ling Yao.

The box contained a pink diamond brooch, which sparkled brightly under the light, showing its high value.

"This is a treasure passed down from our family, it represents good luck and peace. I hope it can bring good luck to you." Anthony Jayce said sincerely.

"Thank you! But we can't accept it." Ling Yao shook her head and refused.

"Why?" Anthony Jayce and Alice were both puzzled.

"We know you want to repay us, but we have already accepted your thank-you gifts, so naturally we can't accept them again." Ling Yao shook the card in her hand.

"How can it be the same?" Anthony pushed the brooch in front of Ling Yao, "You must accept this, otherwise Alice and I will feel bad."

If he only brought these few things with him, he wanted to give them all. If it weren't for them, he and Alice wouldn't be standing here now.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Ling Yao could only accept it, "Okay, then we will accept it, thank you!"

"Miss Ji! Do you have a place to stay in the United States?" Alice asked.

"We have already booked a hotel." Lu Qingyun said. Before they left, the embassy in the United States had already arranged everything for them.

"Why don't you check out of the hotel and stay at our manor so we can treat you well." Anthony Jack suggested. He really wanted to thank them and become friends with them. Of course, he also wanted to ask them for help.

After the pirate incident, he knew that his family was not as peaceful as it seemed. Anthony Jack had already thought about getting rid of him and replacing him.

Since Anthony Jack was able to hire those pirates and also learned that the president had hired a dragon doctor to treat the president's daughter, it was clear how powerful Anthony Jack was. It seemed that he had always underestimated his younger brother.

Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun looked at each other and nodded, "Then we'll bother you." They also wanted to meet Anthony Jack to see what kind of person he was and why he was able to recruit those pirates and find out their whereabouts.

"Don't bother him. We can't wait to welcome you." Alice said happily.

Ling Yao smiled and turned her eyes to Anthony Jays, "Your previous stroke was not accidental, but man-made. Someone replaced your medicine." She knew that Anthony Jays should have guessed who it was.

"I understand, thank you!" Anthony Jays smiled at Ling Yao gratefully. If he doesn't know who did these things behind the scenes, he will really die.

After Anthony Jaycee and Alice left, Lu Qingyun closed the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The door had just been closed when someone knocked again.

Lu Qingyun opened the door and saw Zhou Lin outside, "What's the matter?" He didn't have a good impression of Zhou Lin.

"I'm looking for Doctor Ji." Zhou Lin was a little absent-minded.

Ling Yao heard the noise and came over, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Doctor Ji, let's go back to Dragon Country directly after we arrive in the United States, and don't go to treat the president's daughter." He was really scared by those pirates just now. Someone actually wanted to kill him. He was really afraid that he would be killed as soon as he set foot on American soil.

He no longer wanted fame and fortune, as long as he could return to Longguo alive. But after what happened just now, he didn't dare to return alone. What if he met those pirates again? So after thinking about it, he decided to persuade Lingyao to return home with him.
