At the time, Shang Duojin informed Qiao Mei about this via a message sent through his personal terminal. When Qiao Mei saw that Shu Qingqing didn't believe him, she directly retrieved the message history.
"You'll see for yourself. I have no reason to lie to you about something like this."
Shu Qingqing held the lollipop stick in her hand and examined it carefully.
When he discovered that Shang Duojin had actually asked Qiao Mei for help, his mind went completely blank.
Given Shang Duo's family's wealth and his previous statement about frequently going to the gym, if he had any health problems, he would have noticed them long ago.
It's impossible that we only noticed it now.
Qiao Mei was clearly on the same wavelength as Shu Qingqing.
After thinking about it for a while, he and Shu Qingqing said in unison, "Could it be that he likes you/me?"
Shu Qingqing got goosebumps all over and shook her head frantically: "No, no, no, that's impossible. With his jerk-like attitude, every time we meet, we're either bickering or fighting. How could he possibly like me?"
This is how good people like others.
Qiao Mei wasn't quite sure either, because she didn't react this way when she liked Ao Cang.
Things have come full circle, back to square one.
Shu Qingqing was already annoyed today, and seeing that it was getting dark, she rubbed her temples, feeling a bit tired: "Anyway, it's definitely not that possibility. He needs to see a doctor, so let him see one. Let's rest first. We definitely need to go out and run errands as usual tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After Qiao Mei finished talking with Shu Qingqing, she was about to go back to her room when she felt a bit cold inside. Looking to the side, she realized that the window had been open at some point.
So he went to the window to close it.
The hotel in the Yunqueshan Forest area covers a large area, and across a grove of trees, there is another complex of hotel buildings.
At the top of the stairs directly opposite, a pair of extremely cold eyes were staring at her.
When Qiao Mei felt that chill run down her spine and wanted to go and see what was going on, she couldn't see anything at all.
"It's probably just a misperception..."
Muttering to herself, she turned and left Shu Qingqing's room, unaware that Lai Tan was once again watching her retreating figure with his extraordinary strength.
Only when it was completely out of sight did he turn his gaze back to the suite.
Qiao Yingying is training her companions' superpowers in the training room provided in the suite.
She chose a gold-type white wolf as her familiar, and theoretically, the only usable familiar's superpower is gold-type.
But what she's using now is none other than the power of a water-type familiar.
Just as the water-shaped Xu Heyu was about to be completed, an extremely powerful force struck out, shattering "Xu Heyu" into pieces.
"Tsk, it seems your abilities still need further improvement."
Lai Tan swaggered in, ignoring Qiao Yingying's angry glare, took off his long black trench coat, threw it on a nearby sofa, and sat down.
"You did it on purpose!! I was so close to succeeding just now!!"
Qiao Yingying accused Lai Tan, her right hand clenched into a fist due to excessive anger.
Seeing this, Lai Tan raised an eyebrow and used his right hand to suck on Qiao Yingying's body, causing her to fall uncontrollably into his arms.
"So angry? What, as your partner on the same side now, I don't even have the right to joke with you anymore? He's just a useless man, why are you so desperate for him?"
To be honest, Qiao Yingying didn't really like Xu Heyu that much.
The reason she thought of using him as a pattern for training water-based superpowers was simply because she didn't have much contact with men.
Although Lai Tan could be considered one, she didn't want to use him, lest he become presumptuous and overthink things.
Seeing the jealousy in his eyes, Qiao Yingying was a little confused: "I didn't say you didn't have that right, but Lai Tan, you didn't actually take what you said as a joke before seriously, did you? Let me tell you, there's no way I could like you, and don't even think about being with me!"
Such a disgusting person, if it weren't for his ability to help her, did he really think she would pay any attention to him?
The disgust and disdain in her eyes were undisguised, and although it wasn't the first time Lai Tan had seen it, he still felt uncomfortable.
His expression also turned quite cold.
"Tsk, Qiao Yingying, are you sure you've got something wrong?"
The man's long, black fingernails, which had been tucked in, suddenly protruded and dug into Qiao Yingying's flesh as he reached out to pinch her chin.
Several tentacles that he had hidden well suddenly emerged uncontrollably. One wrapped around her waist, while the others wrapped around her wrists and ankles.
His cold gaze met her gray eyes, which gradually turned dark purple: "Now you're begging me for help. If it weren't for my divine power, if it weren't for me feeding you my death energy, do you think you could have survived until now?"
He looked at her gradually paling face, felt a pang of heartache for a moment, then forced himself to maintain a cold expression, though he reduced the pressure of his nails digging into her flesh.
"Behave yourself and stop trying to provoke me. Otherwise, my business partners can turn into anything. I've discovered the secret you've been afraid to tell me. There's more blood that's useful to me than just yours, isn't there?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yingying's mind went blank, and she looked at Lai Qin in a panic.
Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be bluffing, she finally realized her fear and panic. Despite feeling nauseous, she pressed herself closer to him, her eyes reddening, and said, "I'm sorry, I misspoke just now. Please don't be angry, okay?"
She rarely approached him so proactively. Lai Tan smelled the sweet fragrance emanating from her, and his throat became so thirsty that he kept swallowing saliva.
His gaze was fixed on Qiao Yingying's soft lips as they opened and closed, his purple eyes gleaming. He suddenly released his grip on her chin and leisurely watched her disheveled state after her escape.
"It's not impossible for me to keep choosing you, but the reward I asked you for before needs to be doubled. Otherwise, what makes you, Qiao Yingying, so special?"
When he mentioned compensation, Qiao Yingying naturally assumed it was her blood.
After struggling for a moment by biting her lip, she took the initiative to unbutton her pajamas, revealing her slender white neck, and said with pale lips, "I promise you."
Lai Tan's purple eyes deepened. He swallowed hard and began to unbutton more of her clothes, chuckling wickedly, "Who told you that what I wanted, double, meant blood?"
Qiao Yingying's gray eyes trembled as she looked at him in disbelief. When she clearly saw the intense possessiveness and desire in his eyes, she was so frightened that she stepped back.
"No, absolutely not!!"
Before, he only drank her blood and hugged her, which she could still endure.
But instead of letting her go to that point with such a disgusting person, it would be better to just kill her.
The thought of those disgusting tentacles on his body made Qiao Yingying's stomach churn, and she vomited uncontrollably.
