Chapter 403 Cleverly Taking the Stairs
Shen Xiangxiang knew that what Shang Zexi was doing must be very important.
Not telling her too much is also for her own good.
Therefore, she was willing to continue waiting behind the scenes, as long as Shang Zexi could return safely.
Xia Yue was just as anxiously waiting as Shen Xiangxiang.
Qin Yeting had been upstairs for three hours but hadn't come down yet, and she was becoming increasingly worried.
It's just negotiating some things, why does it take so long?
Could it be that the negotiations failed, and the leader, enraged, captured or even killed Qin Yeting?
Thinking of this possibility, Xia Yue's breathing quickened, and she clenched her fists visibly with tension.
She wants to go up and take a look!
At the very least, we need to confirm that Qin Yeting is safe and sound.
If necessary, she might also use the moonlight as "cover".
But Xia Yue got up, and before she even reached the top of the stairs, she was stopped by the high priest.
The high priest, his face stern and his demeanor as cold as ice, said firmly, "Physician X, please wait. No one is allowed upstairs without the leader's order."
"Qin Yeting has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet. I have every reason to suspect that you took the opportunity to kill him to cover your tracks. I'm going to check the situation!" Xia Yue responded sharply.
The high priest said, "The Qin family head has a special identity and is of great value to our organization. The leader will not harm him."
"That's just your side of the story. I don't believe it unless you let me go up there!" Xia Yue had already gripped the golden needle tightly in one hand.
She will take a hard line when necessary.
Seeing that Xia Yue couldn't be persuaded no matter what he said, the high priest stopped wasting his breath and simply let the guards in.
More than twenty people suddenly appeared in the villa's lobby.
Half of them gathered around the high priest, while the other half gathered around the old monk Yi, who was in a coma.
“Dr. X, you are not alone. If you go up there, what will happen to the people below?” The high priest’s voice was laced with threat.
Xia Yue glared fiercely at the other party, and the two were on the verge of exchanging blows.
In the end, Xia Yue took a step back.
If the hard approach doesn't work, try the soft approach.
If force doesn't work, then use strategy.
She refused to believe she couldn't get up there!
Xia Yue pretended to stop fighting and went back to sit on the sofa.
This time, she didn't stay idle. Instead, she took out her gold needles and began to treat Yuexia.
I've slept too long under the moon; it's time to wake up.
She had been either busy running away or constantly anxious, and had forgotten that she could still use her golden needles to treat Yuexia.
Master Yi was very satisfied to see Xia Yue demonstrate her golden needle technique, and would occasionally give her pointers to help her improve.
As for Xia Yue's father, Xia Xiong Hui, although he remained silent throughout, seemingly just a background figure, he subtly tapped the pillar behind him with his fingers, as if conveying some kind of signal.
His actions were discreet, and he wasn't the center of attention, so no one noticed him.
Shortly afterward, under Xia Yue's acupuncture treatment, Yuexia began to open her eyes.
The high priest standing nearby looked surprised as well.
You should know that Miss Moon's "sleep" is calculated according to months.
Sometimes I sleep for a whole month, wake up for two or three hours, and then feel sleepy again.
The longest period of lucidity was only two or three days.
But every time I wake up, my memory becomes confused, and I forget some things.
Therefore, with Yuexia in Xia Yue's hands, the High Priest refrained from taking further action, choosing to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
She blinked under the moonlight, her raven-feather-like eyelashes fluttering.
She looked around curiously, then at Xia Yue, and asked softly, "How did I get home?"
"Is this your home, Yuexia?" Xia Yue asked with a half-smile.
Under the moonlight, he nodded, stood up, and saw the high priest not far away.
She quickly called out, "High Priest Grandfather."
The high priest could only nod and continue to stabilize the situation.
The leader has always been unwilling to reveal the young lady's identity to prevent her from being taken advantage of.
Unfortunately, this plan is now going to fall through.
"Sister Xia Yue, you are my best friend. I want to take you to meet my parents!" Yuexia pulled Xia Yue's hand and walked upstairs.
Despite looking like a six-year-old child, his voice sounded older than that of a centenarian.
This strange contrast is vividly reflected in Yuexia, yet it is also strangely harmonious.
The high priest, of course, would not let Xia Yue go upstairs, so he continued to obstruct her.
“Miss, you may go up alone, but you cannot bring outsiders up with you, or your father will be displeased,” the high priest whispered a reminder.
Under the moonlight, however, she stubbornly insisted, "I'm going to take Sister Xia Yue up with me. Sister Xia Yue is very skilled in medicine; maybe she can wake Mother up!"
"Miss! Please stop talking!" The high priest hurriedly stopped Yuexia, fearing that she would reveal more secrets.
Fortunately, the organization's activities were kept from this young lady and she wasn't told much about them.
Otherwise, one day, this young lady might unwittingly sell out the entire organization without them even realizing it.
"Anyway, I'm going to take my friends up there. High Priest, if you stop me, I'll let the black ants bite you!" Yuexia was a straightforward child.
She's also a willful child; if things don't go her way, she'll resort to violence, even against the high priest she's known for years.
The high priest felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of the swarm of black ants.
That was specially given to the young lady by the chief for self-defense; even he couldn't handle it.
Having no other choice, he could only make a final concession: "Could you let me go up first and inform your father so he can prepare to see your friend again? Is that alright?"
As you know, your father sometimes acts erratically because of certain things, and it wouldn't be good if he frightened your friends.
