Chapter 18: Sick

“Okay.”

Shang Jiuying did not even look at it. He just raised his hand and took it.

This made Qin Yiyi, who was about to turn around and leave, stop. Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and she tilted her head.

“Aren’t you afraid that what I gave you was poison?”

These few days, she had gained some understanding of Shang Jiuying’s identity.

The Shang family.

Not to mention China, it was an ancient family whose prestige could be felt across the entire world!

Especially the current generation’s family head, Shang Jiuying. It was said that he had shouldered the burden of the Shang family since he was in his teens.

The outside world was using their strength to turn the tide!

She did not find out the exact details about Shang Jiuying. Of course, she could investigate if she wanted to.

But there was no need for that.

At this moment, she looked at Shang Jiuying and was very curious about this person’s answer.

He had become famous at a young age.

He had completely controlled the entire Shang clan, this ancient and heavy behemoth, and even the people above him had been subdued and tidied it up.

Thinking about such a man, no matter how good-looking he was, he wouldn’t appear harmless.

How could he trust others so easily?

Shang Jiuying only glanced at her and spoke softly.

“Can I take this medicine anytime?”

“Yes, anytime. One pill a day. Don’t eat too many at once.”

It was not that there were side effects from taking too many. It was just that in his current body, the poison had already seeped into his bones. He had to take it slowly.

Simmer it down.

If he was too anxious, it would completely destroy the vitality in this body.

Qin Yiyi did not mind Shang Jiuying’s non-answer, nor did she feel that there was anything to be disappointed about. They were not familiar with each other!

In the next moment, she saw Shang Jiuying reach out to open the small box. He squeezed out a pill the size of a fingernail and put it into his mouth.

She only had time to sigh.

Opposite her, Shang Jiuying’s brows and eyes beamed with a light smile. He nodded slightly.

“I thought it would be very bitter. I didn’t expect it to be a little sweet…”

Pausing for a moment, he added with certainty, “The taste is quite good. It’s quite delicious.”

Qin Yiyi, “…”

“Little Miss Qin Yiyi, thank you for the medicine. It’s getting late. Quickly go back and rest.”

The man did not reply to Qin Yiyi.

However, he used his actions to give the most direct and affirmative answer!

Qin Yiyi pursed her lips and looked down. “Remember to take one pill every day. I’m leaving.”

She actually left without turning her head.

Shang Jiuying raised his eyebrows and looked at her before turning around. Not far away, a man in black walked out from the darkness.

“Ninth Master, Young Master Yan asked me to bring you back.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Shanghai Business District Villa Area.

The manor villa, which was called the king of villas, lit up as if it was daytime in an instant.

As the car slowly approached, the door of the villa slowly opened.

Two rows of workers in black tuxedos walked out. A middle-aged butler with a mustache and a small bow tie bowed ninety degrees.

“Greetings, Ninth Master.”

The car drove past the two rows of workers.

The butler waved his hand and the workers left in an orderly manner. Only a few people followed the butler with quick steps.

“Brother Jiu, why did you come back so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Shang Jiuying only glanced at him before he walked into the study room.

“Butler, quickly call Doctor Liao and tell him to come over now.”

Xu Zhuoyan was a few steps behind. He looked at Shang Jiuying’s back and frowned. “It’s almost time. Tell him to hurry up.”

“Young Master Yan, be careful. Doctor Liao is already on his way here.”

Xu Zhuoyan nodded and let him do his own thing. He then followed Shang Jiuying to the study room.

“Ninth Brother, you clearly know that today is the full moon, yet you still came back so late. You…”

“What?”

His clear and cold eyes glanced over without any strength.

Xu Zhuoyan was instantly silenced. He took a deep breath and muttered to himself, resigned to his fate.

“Forget it, forget it. It’s good that you’re back.”

At the door, the housekeeper brought in tea with absolute respect and courtesy.

“Ninth Master, Young Master Yan, Doctor Liao will be here in ten minutes.”

“No need…”

“Tell him to come here as soon as possible.”

The first two words were said by Shang Jiuying.

The other sentence was said by Xu Zhuoyan.

As soon as the two finished speaking, Xu Zhuoyan’s brows knitted together, his face full of disapproval.

“Ninth Brother, why did you stop Doctor Liao from checking up on you again? It’s a full moon tonight.”

On a full moon every night, Shang Jiuying’s physical condition was the worst.

Especially after that year’s accident. He had a condition that did not stop until he bled!

Once, he flew out for an entire night and tossed around three chaotic zones, creating a few chaotic explosions. Even under his violent emotions, Shang Jiuying actually risked his life to participate in them.

Every full moon night, there would be a specialized doctor and security personnel to take care of him. Using several times the dosage of tranquilizers and anesthetics, he barely managed to survive one full moon night after another! However, the situation in the past few months was still pretty good. At the very least, Doctor Liao and the security staff alone could handle it!

Now, he actually refused to see Doctor Liao?

How could he do that?

Xu Zhuoyan’s expression was solemn. “Brother Jiu, if you think there’s anything wrong with Doctor Liao, let’s change to another one…”

“There’s no need.”

After a pause, Shang Jiuying lowered his eyes and said softly, “I want to try myself and see if I can endure through this normally…”

“But…”

“Let’s do it this way.”

The hour hand had already passed eleven, and it immediately pointed to twelve.

Shang Jiuying raised his head from the document in front of him. “You should also go out. Be careful that I accidentally hurt you.”

“Don’t be afraid. I’m very skilled.”

Xu Zhuoyan, who said this, had a slight sense of guilt.

Saying that he was good at fighting in front of Brother Jiu?

He could only admit that he was the second-best, right?!

However, when he thought of Qin Yiyi, he felt even more vexed.

What second place? He might not even be able to keep third place!

Shang Jiuying glanced at him. “Do as you wish.”

Shang Jiuying, who was sitting calmly, looked calm, but his hands were actually tightly clasped together.

This time, would it work?

The silver plate-like full moon hung high in the night sky, and the moonlight shone like water.

As the clock struck twelve in the morning.

In a corner of the study room.

Xu Zhuoyan held his breath and focused. His eyes did not dare to make a single mistake as he stared at Shang Jiuying, who was sitting behind the desk.

The door to the study room was ajar.

Outside, the butler, Doctor Liao, and a few other well-trained and well-armed security guards did not dare to breathe as they waited!

Almost in the blink of an eye.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became strange, oppressive, and tense!

Bang!

Shang Jiuying’s eyes were red, and his face was pale but full of malevolence. He looked around like a wild beast, looking for something dangerous.

But in the next moment, he kicked the table in front of him.

There was a crackling sound.

Xu Zhuoyan shouted in a low voice, “Doctor Liao, tranquilizer! A and B, you guys surround him.”

At this time, he absolutely could not let Brother Jiu leave this manor!

Doctor Liao’s legs and stomach were all soft, but he had experienced it for many years. The specially made needle in his hand flashed a bright white under the light.

He braced himself and followed behind A, looking for an opportunity to strike!

Bang!

Shang Jiuying took out half a brick from nowhere and smashed it at Xu Zhuoyan’s face.

But in the next moment, Xu Zhuoyan saw that it was not a brick, but an inkstone.

Damn, who was stupid enough not to put away this dangerous thing?

He wished he could kick the butler behind him and beat him up, but thinking about it, this guy still had to clean up the mess later…

As his thoughts raced, Xu Zhuoyan dodged and took the opportunity to pull the butler away. He raised his leg and kicked Jia Yi, who was on his side, forward.

Jia Yi did not have time to react and instinctively wanted to retreat.

When Ninth Master went crazy, the force was unusually strong.

If it hit his head, it would definitely burst open!

Just as the inkstone that was worth thousands of gold coins was about to hit Jia Yi’s face.

Shang Jiuying’s hand suddenly paused, and a rare hint of confusion appeared in his bloodshot eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Doctor Liao relied on his courage to shakily reach out his hand, but the needle that was aimed at Shang Jiuying was very fast and accurate!

Who knew that Shang Jiuying would turn around in an instant. His sharp eyes swept over Doctor Liao with a murderous aura.

His hands trembled.

Shang Jiuying raised his leg and kicked the person flying into the opposite wall.

“Doctor Liao…”

Xu Zhuoyan was just about to see how Doctor Liao was doing when he looked up and saw that Shang Jiuying’s body actually swayed twice before he fell headfirst to the ground.

He was shocked. “Brother Jiu!”
