She thought about the new drug that Xu Chenyang had developed and felt that it was not simple. She had to find a way to get her hands on the drug and study it to see what the problems were.
Chu Yu checked Lin Xiaoxiao's schedule online; she was filming a period drama in the ancient city today.
Chu Yu used a summoning spell to summon Huang Dalu and instructed him, "Huang Dalu, I have an important matter to ask you to do."
Huang Dalu was bored and eager to get things done, so he said, "Master, just give me your orders and I'll do my best to complete the task."
Chu Yu showed him Lin Xiaoxiao's photos and information on her phone: "This female celebrity is called Lin Xiaoxiao. She's currently filming in the ancient city. Go to the ancient city and follow her. Try to find out what medicine she's been taking recently and steal a few of her pills."
"good!"
After reading the information, Huang Dalu flashed and transformed into a gust of wind, flying towards the ancient city area.
Two hours later, Huang Dalu returned and handed Chu Yu two small, dark pills, saying, "Master, these are the medicines I stole from Lin Xiaoxiao."
Chu Yu took the pill, examined it carefully for a moment, and then smelled it. The pill emitted a faint floral fragrance, but the fragrance was mixed with a trace of blood and also exuded an evil aura.
It's like a pill made using a special method, incorporating human blood and special medicinal herbs.
Chu Yu's eyes flickered, and she had her answer. She turned and left the woods, went to a nearby hotel, booked a room, and waited for Tao Susu's message.
In the evening, Tao Susu came to the hotel to find Chu Yu.
Chu Yu asked, "Did you find anything out while you were monitoring Xu Chenyang?"
Tao Susu said with a look of disdain, "I found out. This Xu Chenyang looks glamorous on the outside, but he is actually a ruthless and treacherous villain."
He cheated on his wife with him, and she's been missing for a month now, her whereabouts unknown. He's kept this a secret from everyone. He even bought her a huge insurance policy, with himself as the beneficiary. I suspect he's murdered her and is trying to scam a huge compensation claim.
Chu Yu clicked her tongue, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She then asked, "Has he been to any secluded places recently?"
Tao Susu blinked and said in a deep voice, "I overheard him on the phone. He often goes to a secret studio to develop new drugs. He'll be there tonight at 11 p.m. to check on the progress."
Chu Yu's eyes lit up: "Then let's go and take a look tonight."
"good."
...
At 11 p.m., Xu Chenyang drove away from the mental hospital alone, and a black luxury car quietly followed him.
An hour later, Xu Chenyang drove to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. After parking the car at the gate, Xu Chenyang got out and looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one was around, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, took out his key from his bag, unlocked the gate, and pushed it open to go inside.
Not long after, the car that had followed them stopped in a nearby alley. Chu Yu opened the car door and got out.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Song Ze was a little excited: "Young Madam, how about I go with you?"
He also wanted to see what was going on, so Xu Chenyang sneaked into the abandoned factory, intending to do something.
Chu Yu refused with a serious expression: "Infiltrating the factory is dangerous. You'd better not go. Just stay here and guard the place. If anything happens, I'll text or call you."
Song Ze was a little disappointed: "Alright, I'll wait here. Be careful."
Chu Yu nodded, took out her phone, sent her location to her fourth senior brother Jiang Huai'an, then put an invisibility talisman on her body, quickly went to the factory wall, and climbed over it.
The factory was dark, with no lights on. There was no one in the factory buildings, only some old machines and furniture piled up, covered in dust and cobwebs, as if they hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
A strong smell of paint filled the air, emanating from several buckets of paint in the opposite corner.
Chu Yu sniffed carefully and found a faint medicinal smell mixed in with the strong smell of paint. The medicinal smell was so faint that only people with a very sensitive nose could smell it.
The paint smell was probably to mask the smell of medicine, which was coming from underground, so the pharmaceutical manufacturing workshop must have been underground.
Chu Yu took out a compass to search for Xu Chenyang's whereabouts.
She followed the compass needle to a wardrobe against the wall. The compass needle pointed to the wardrobe, and Chu Yu thought that this might be the entrance to the basement, and there should be a mechanism to open the door.
She looked around and found a slightly dented brick on the wall. Her eyes lit up; she guessed that was the mechanism.
She carefully pressed the brick, and with a loud bang, the wardrobe slid to the right, revealing a door behind it.
Chu Yu pushed open the door and walked inside. Behind the door was a staircase leading down to a very large basement.
The basement was lit up, and the surrounding area was filled with shelves displaying various medicinal herbs. Several workers took the herbs and hurried inside.
Chu Yu had an invisibility talisman on her body, so the workers couldn't see her. She circled around the shelves, carefully examining the medicinal herbs.
There are many kinds of medicinal herbs, including Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, and ginseng. She walked to the innermost shelf, where there were dozens of small red bottles with yellow talismans on them, as if they were sealed with something.
Chu Yu was curious and was about to take a bottle down to see what was sealed inside when Xu Chenyang's urging voice suddenly came from ahead: "The water is boiling, it's time to add the herbs, hurry up and bring the herbs over and put them in."
Chu Yu immediately withdrew her hand and followed the sound inside.
There was a door inside. Pushing it open, a strong smell of medicine wafted out. Chu Yu looked inside and saw an ancient medicine-refining room.
Inside were several medicine-refining furnaces, with large fires burning under the furnaces. Several workers were putting medicinal herbs into the furnaces. After the herbs were in place, they took a few bottles of blood and poured them in, filling the air with a strong smell of blood.
Chu Yu noticed that the workers were expressionless and had blank stares, completing their tasks like machines, as if they were under a puppet spell and being manipulated.
Xu Chenyang stood in front of the alchemy furnace, methodically directing them to work.
Chu Yu looked at Xu Chenyang. In the firelight, his face looked somewhat ferocious, and his whole body exuded an evil aura.
At this moment, Xu Chenyang suddenly turned his head to look in Chu Yu's direction. Chu Yu was startled; he could see her.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Xu Chenyang spoke with a gloomy face: "You're quite clever, managing to follow me here so quickly."
Chu Yu was startled: "You can see me."
Xu Chenyang snorted and said, "I carry special talismans that can see everything hidden in the dark. Your invisibility talisman is useless against me. Also, that monster that was hiding in the dark and monitoring me during the day, was it sent by you?"
Chu Yu's expression changed instantly; he could still see Tao Susu.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized something. She said coldly, "Did you deliberately lure me here?"
