Chapter 402 Rong Chengjue takes over
In the finance office, the person opposite Lan Weiying stammered, "Yes, yes, I've urged them several times, but there's been no response."
Lan Weiying's usually cool and aloof expression turned irritable. She opened her personal terminal, sent something, and then put it down.
"Okay, I understand. You can go out now." Lan Weiying shooed the accountant out, leaving only Lan Yuanhui and Lan Weiying in the room.
"Something must have happened to Prince Casa; I can't get in touch with him."
Lan Yuanhui recalled what had happened before: "They're really useless. We provided them with so many potions, and they still couldn't defeat a lowly clone."
Lan Weiying didn't respond to Lan Yuanhui's words, but said, "I may have to go to E12 planet in person to ask the contact person what's going on."
“What will happen to the Pharmacists’ Guild if you leave? Can I go instead?” Lan Yuanhui suggested.
Lan Weiying understood Lan Yuanhui's thoughts perfectly well. She felt contempt in her heart, but didn't show it on her face: "Even if you go, you won't be able to solve it. Without this funding, things on the other side can't continue."
Lan Yuanhui was disappointed and complained, "This potion is too expensive."
"There's nothing I can do about this medicine..."
A sudden commotion arose outside, and Lan Weiying stopped talking.
Qu Tong frowned. She had just heard the crucial part. Who could be so bad at picking their time?
Lan Weiying's personal computer also rang at this moment.
"Second Miss, something terrible has happened! The east warehouse is on fire."
Lan Weiying's expression turned cold with horror. She hung up the call and hurriedly left the finance office, with Lan Yuanhui anxiously following behind.
The lights were already on everywhere, and Qu Tong could only take advantage of the chaos to leave the Lan family.
After several twists and turns, just as they climbed over the wall, they bumped into Old Man Yuan, who was being dragged out like a chick by Lou Xiaochuan, and seemed a little anxious.
The three of them took advantage of the darkness to reach a safe area. Qu Tong then looked at Old Man Yuan and said, "Didn't we agree that we were just here to identify the potions and not cause any trouble?"
Old Yuan straightened his clothes, looking somewhat guilty: "I couldn't help it."
Qu Tong glared at him speechlessly. She should have known better than to bring Old Man Yuan; she might have gotten some unexpected benefits.
Old Yuan said indignantly, "Girl, you don't know, the medicinal herbs I set on fire were one of the main ingredients used in that banned drug you showed me."
Qu Tong didn't react much. "A medicinal herb isn't used in only one medicine, so what does that prove?"
"Lan Jianghong's brain is all used for scheming against people. Over the years, he has only ever copied prescriptions and has never been able to innovate." Old Yuan was very confident in his judgment of people.
Qu Tong shook her head. "You forgot, the Lan family also has Lan Weiying."
She improved the formula for intermediate-level medicines and was promoted from intermediate-level pharmacist to senior-level pharmacist within two years.
Clearly, Old Yuan had also thought of this, and fell silent.
But his expression quickly brightened again. "Girl, I've got some important news. Guess what I saw?"
Before Qu Tong could ask, Old Man Yuan couldn't help but blurt it out, "That old bastard Lan Jianghong seems to be past his prime. When we escaped, we saw him scolding his servants. He had a strong smell of failed high-grade potions on him. I guess he's throwing a tantrum because he can't concoct a potion."
"Hahaha, serves you right!"
That's good news.
However, during a casual chat with Si Yuting, he mentioned that the efficacy of the special-grade medicine provided by Lan Jianghong to the military was decreasing year by year. This did not only refer to its efficacy against him, but also to the actual data that had been tested. Although it was not obvious, there were indeed signs of it, but it was much earlier than Si Yuting and his team had anticipated.
Based on Si Yuting and the others' guesses, Lan Jianghong's mastery of alchemy could be maintained for at least another ten or twenty years.
Pharmacists usually go through this stage, but Old Yuan doesn't seem to have this anxiety; in fact, he reached his peak at this age.
"Why are you looking at me? It's not illegal for me to laugh loudly." Old Yuan looked completely bewildered by Qu Tong's gaze.
"It's not illegal, but it's disturbing the peace." Qu Tong calmly withdrew her gaze and walked towards Yue Lan Bay.
On the way back, Qu Tong asked Old Man Yuan, "When is the auction for the potions on Star E12 scheduled?"
"You're going in three days?"
"Um."
“Didn’t you say you were busy?” Old Yuan scratched the back of his head. “Then I’ll come along too.”
"what ever."
Qu Tong gave Hu Qing instructions to keep an eye on Lan Weiying and see when she left the capital star.
After being up until midnight, Qu Tong went home and fell asleep immediately.
I was woken up the next day by an itchy sensation on my face.
Qu Tong opened her eyes a crack, recognized the person who had come in, turned over, pressed her hand under her face, and closed her eyes again.
"What time is it, honey?"
The sweet and sticky taste softened Si Yuting's heart.
"It's almost noon, what did you do last night?"
"He went to steal."
Si Yuting took Qu Tong's words as just a casual remark and shook his head with a mixture of indulgence and helplessness.
I raised my wrist to check the time; there was still some time.
Qu Tong heard a rustling sound and curiously opened one eye, only to be met with her superior Yu Ting's magnified handsome face.
The bed sank, and Qu Tong was held in Si Yuting's arms. His soft lips, carrying a hint of autumn coolness, landed on her forehead.
Qu Tong blinked.
"If you're sleepy, you can sleep a little longer."
Qu Tong: "...She's awake."
"I'm sorry." Si Yuting paused for a moment before apologizing.
Qu Tong shook her head, indicating that it was alright.
Although she was awake, Qu Tong didn't plan to get up immediately. She rolled into Si Yuting's arms and put her hand on his waist through his shirt.
"Your Highness, I need to go to E12 in a couple of days."
Si Yuting pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, it's the new emperor of the Casa Empire's coronation. My brother and sister-in-law will take Niannian with them. I was wondering if you wanted to come along for some fun."
He remembered that Princess Casa 9 had said that Ali wanted to travel to Casa, but he couldn't find the time right now.
He can take Ali when he has time later.
"So fast? Is it Rong Chengjue?"
"Hiss~"
Qu Tong suddenly looked up and bumped into Si Yuting's chin, causing a gasp to escape.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Qu Tong quickly apologized, taking a step back. "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts, Ali, rub it for me."
Qu Tong's expression was a little strange, but she still obediently rubbed Si Yuting's skin.
A smile flashed in Si Yuting's eyes as he continued with the question: "Ali guessed correctly."
It really is Rong Chengjue, he's so fast.
Qu Tong asked about the Casa Empire, and Si Yuting told her everything. He also naturally and without hesitation revealed many things that others did not know.
As expected, the old emperor passed away, and the other princes and princesses either died or were injured. Rong Chengjue, being the emperor's son, naturally ascended the throne smoothly.
The second prince escaped, but his imperial concubine mother was detained in the palace by Rong Chengjue.
Finally, Si Yuting stared at Qu Tong and said coolly, "Ali seems to care a lot about Rong Chengjue?"
Qu Tong gave Si Yuting a quick kiss on the lips: "I'm not concerned about Rong Chengjue, I'm concerned about my money."
