Chapter 178 The Fourth Prince felt Xia Yue looked familiar
Xia Yue decided that she would have to talk to Qin Yeting about this matter when she got back and ask him to help her investigate.
It's always a good idea to exploit one more enemy's weakness.
And so, they continued treating the woman in bed.
Because it was poisoning, she dared not be careless and treated the patient very carefully. She first used gold needles and then specially prepared an antidote based on the components of the poison.
Fortunately, she still had quite a few Hundred Spirit Pills.
By the time I finished, it was already evening.
According to the nine-to-five agreement, it was time for her to leave work.
"Your Majesty, please have another doctor prepare your medicine. I must go back now." Xia Yue looked somewhat tired.
After all, treating the previous patient was too exhausting.
Knowing that Xia Yue's treatment had been arduous, the emperor did not hold it against her and sent someone to escort her out of the palace first.
But right at the palace gate, Xia Yue encountered an annoying person—Gu Chen.
Gu Chen seemed to be waiting for her on purpose, with a lit cigarette between his phone and his arm, looking preoccupied.
Upon seeing Xia Yue, he immediately threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
He knew his junior sister hated the smell of smoke.
"Junior sister, let's talk, okay?" Gu Chen stared at the heavy dark circles under his eyes, his voice pleading and tinged with exhaustion.
Since he mistakenly kidnapped Xia Yue last time, he has not had a chance to have a proper conversation with her.
When I called, the call was immediately disconnected.
The last time we met in the palace, Qin Yeting was there to interfere.
Last night, seeing that Xia Yue and Qin Yeting were about to hold their wedding on Qixi Festival, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
Xia Yue didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Chen.
She coldly refused, saying, "I have nothing to talk to you about, and I don't want to believe your nonsense anymore."
"Even if it's about your father, you don't want to hear it?" Gu Chen always knew how to exploit Xia Yue's weaknesses.
Xia Yue came to Country A to find her father, but she has not heard from him since.
Even with the Feng family as her backing, it was still difficult for her to contact the black market.
The black market exchange operates in a gray area, while the Feng family operates through legitimate channels.
"What happened to my father?" Xia Yue asked.
Gu Chen said, "Get in the car with me, I'll take you somewhere and tell you slowly."
Xia Yue frowned, staring at Gu Chen. Even though she knew he was throwing out bait, she still had no choice but to take the bait.
Just as she sat down in Gu Chen's Mercedes, a piercing horn blared outside.
A Rolls-Royce was seen driving towards them, its reckless attitude suggesting it was about to smash the car into the air.
Xia Yue recognized Qin Yeting's car and had a bad feeling.
Fortunately, the Rolls-Royce came to a sudden stop when it was only half a meter away from the Mercedes.
Qin Yeting got out of the car, walked to where Xia Yue was sitting, and said with a gloomy look, "Get out!"
Xia Yue was about to open the door and get out when Gu Chen locked the car door and said to her, "If you leave, I won't say anything about your father."
"Gu Chen, do you know why I'm growing to hate you more and more?"
"Because I'm becoming more and more despicable? Sorry, only by doing this will you spare a little attention from me." Gu Chen had a self-deprecating smile on his face.
He felt that he wasn't actually despicable enough.
Otherwise, he would have unleashed his inner demons long ago, drugged her, raped her, and locked her up. Qin Yeting wouldn't have had a chance to be so smug then.
"Open the car door, I'll go with you, but I need to get out and explain things to Qin Yeting first." Xia Yue glared at Gu Chen, holding a golden needle in her hand.
Helpless, Gu Chen could only roll down the car window.
"You two can talk here. I'll listen and wait," Gu Chen said calmly.
The moment the car window opened, Qin Yeting's furious roar rang out!
"Little Yue'er, what are you doing? Why did you get into Gu Chen's car? Did he say something to threaten you?" Qin Yeting was angry, but still relatively rational.
Knowing that Gu Chen was definitely playing dirty tricks, Xiao Yue'er had no choice but to get on the bus.
Xia Yue explained, "Gu Chen knows my father's whereabouts."
"Then I'll go with you!" Qin Yeting didn't object to Xia Yue finding someone, but he was worried about her going alone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, my little car can't fit someone as big as you." Gu Chen refused Qin Yeting's request to get in the car.
Qin Yeting coldly glanced at Gu Chen, "You think you can get rid of me by doing this?"
"Then you're welcome to follow me and see. Anyway, if you do, I won't say anything more," Gu Chen said coldly, every word carefully calculated.
Qin Yeting clenched his fists, wishing he could pull out a gun and shoot Gu Chen dead.
The two men glared at each other and stood in a standoff.
Finally, Xia Yue couldn't stand it anymore.
She just wanted to find clues about her father as soon as possible.
"Ting, go home and wait for me, okay? I'll be back soon," Xia Yue whispered.
Qin Yeting stubbornly said, "Gu Chen is no pushover; he's full of bad intentions. I won't let you two be alone together!"
"Tsk tsk, junior sister, since he doesn't trust me at all, let's just let it go today."
You go back first, we'll talk another day.
Gu Chen used a feigned retreat to advance, directly opening the car door and letting Xia Yue get out.
As long as he has a monopoly on information, his junior sister will find him sooner or later.
Xia Yue frowned slightly, thought for a while, and finally got off the bus.
Gu Chen then drove away.
Only Xia Yue and Qin Yeting remained at the scene.
Xia Yue was in a bad mood because she hadn't gotten any clues about her father, but that wasn't Qin Yeting's fault.
Gu Chen's move was clearly an attempt to sow discord.
