  As Fan Yu took a glance at her, he seemed to feel that her speculations made sense and did not continue speaking.

  Everyone’s gaze shifted to Tan Bengbeng, who was holding on to the medicine pill.

  The sudden attention that Tan Bengbeng received made her feel a little nervous.

  She took a close look at the pill in her hands and sniffed it. She felt that it had a very special, yet unfamiliar smell.

  Having practiced Chinese medicine before, she was very sensitive to the smell of medicines. However, she could not tell what this pill was made from, judging by the look and smell of it.

  She would have to take it back to the laboratory for further testing if she really wanted to analyze the contents as well as its effects.

  “Why do you have to go back to the laboratory? If you can’t tell, there is someone else here who might know what it is…” Zheng Yan muttered softly when she heard what Tan Bengbeng said and gestured at Qi Yan’s direction with her chin.

  She was hinting at Tan Bengbeng to ask Qi Yan for help.

  Other than the renowned “King of Medicine”, who else could be more familiar with medicines?

  Stunned by her words, Tan Bengbeng turned around and looked at the man beside her.

  Qi Yan had not said anything since he had spoken up for her when Mo Kun threatened to kill her earlier on.

  When they arrived at Yu Yuehan’s villa, he simply found a cozy spot, lay down on the sofa with a bolster in his arms, and acted as a bystander.

  He did not seem to have any intention of participating in their discussion.

  When the man who was still lying down a second ago realized that Tan Bengbeng was staring at him, he seemed to have been possessed by a spirit as he sat up with a whoosh.

  The moment he opened his mouth, he asked, “What happened? Are you hungry? Or are you thirsty? Wait for me, I’ll go get a cup of water for you now…”


  Tan Bengbeng had shown him the pill in her hand even before Qi Yan could finish speaking.

  She pursed her lips and asked.

  “Could you tell what medicine is this?”


  “…”


  Qi Yan took a glance at the medicine in Tan Bengbeng’s hand. After he was sure that she was not hungry, not thirsty, nor was she feeling unwell, he leaned backward and lay down on the sofa again.

  He opened his mouth and said lazily, “I have said that I am only here to watch a show. The Qi Family have our own rules, and I cannot be involved in the internal affairs of the Mo Family. If you guys have any questions, don’t ask me about them.”


  After he had finished speaking, Qi Yan shut his eyes and pretended to be taking a rest.

  “…”


  He had never rejected her in the past.

  He had already promised her major request to save Tang Yuansi.

  However, he was not willing to help her in a minor matter like taking a look at a medicine pill?

  Was he that tired?

  He had been chatting happily with Zheng Yan on the journey here, to the extent that his lips curled into such a huge angle that they were about to reach his ears!

  She wanted to listen to their conversation and turned her head around to face them. However, the moment they saw her, they stopped speaking immediately and remained silent for the rest of the journey.

  With the expressions that they displayed, it seemed as though she had disturbed them when she had merely cast them a glance.

  Tan Bengbeng had been holding this thought in and felt uneasy throughout the entire journey. Now that she had been rejected by him all of a sudden, the awful feeling in her heart intensified.

  She stood up from the sofa with a whoosh.

  “I’ll go to contact the laboratory. Give me a night, I will definitely be able to analyze the contents in the medicine before dawn.”


  “Wait a second!”


  The King of Hell, who was lying stiffly on the sofa like a corpse the previous second, could no longer stay still the moment he heard that she wanted to burn the midnight oil just to analyze the medicine.

  He opened his eyes and scrambled up.

  “You were feeling unwell and you have just recovered, how can your body take staying up overnight? I disagree with this!”


  Tan Bengbeng did not even look at him as she turned around and got ready to leave.

  Qi Yan no longer cared about his image, as he grabbed a hold of her and pulled her in front to face him.

  He was quick to go back on the words that he had said earlier on.

  “I’ll take a look at it! I’ll take a look at it now, alright?”
