Chapter 911: A Traitor In The Enemy Camp?
Although my English wasn’t great, I still knew the transliteration of the word party would be more accurate if it was read as pati (it means lying down).
I don’t know if it was because the cla.s.s leader wanted it to be accurate, but she forced Zhuang Ni to lie down on the bed, then slapped her on the b.u.t.t and gave her an unforgettable birthday ‘pati’.
Nothing really memorable happened between me and Ai Mi. The younger you are, the more sleep you need. After Ai Mi talked to me for a bit more, her eyelids began to droop and she quickly fell asleep.
It was already getting late, so I didn’t try to walk home at night, and went to sleep in room 103 (that was the guest room Ai Mi had prepared for me anyway).
The next day was Sat.u.r.day. It wasn’t a school day, so the cla.s.s leader and the others must have gone to bed late last night (I don’t know if they had a pillow fight), because they didn’t have to get up too early today.
I, on the other hand, woke up at around 5. It was because I forgot to turn off my phone last night and I received a spam text message.
After being woken up, I couldn’t fall asleep anymore no matter how much I tossed and turned, so I simply got up and went outside the VIP building to do some morning exercises.
I happened to meet 004 and 005 who were also doing morning exercises. As expected, these two bodyguards had a rather special way to do their morning exercises.
Usually, there was nothing special about dancing or doing morning exercises. It’s something that the auntie from my neighborhood a.s.sociation likes to do.
However, 004 and 005 were foreigners, so why couldn’t they use some better Westen music for their morning exercises? Why can’t you listen to Michael Jackson’s music? Why are you playing ‘The Most Dazzling Folk Style’ on your phone and even sing along off-key?
“Beep —— My servant didn’t send me an invite for a birthday party, I’m so depressed…”
B-2 came up angrily from behind 004 and 005.
The servant he referred to was, of course, Gong CaiCai. Gong CaiCai was too polite to others and wasn’t good at rejecting others, so B-2 would always order Gong CaiCai around once he discovered her weakness.
At this moment, my phone beeped again, it was the sound of a text message being received.
I thought it was another spam message, but when I opened my inbox, I realized the message was very odd:
“100 ml red wine, 50 ml liquor, 50 ml cola, two raw eggs.”
Huh? Is this some kind of folk remedy? Was it sent to the wrong person? I looked at the sender and it wasn’t unknown number, but it was displayed as ‘Lan Tu’. What’s going on? Was Professor Bai playing a joke on me?
I contacted Professor Bai on ‘Heartbeat Q&A’ and asked what the strange folk remedy he sent me was used for. Professor Bai said that he never sent a text message and that it might have been a bug, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Later that afternoon, Xiao Qin and I talked on the phone. After she told me about last night’s birthday party, the person named “Lan Tu” sent me another text message:
“Don’t contact Bai and Fang. The formula I gave you can cure your heart problems.”
I was shocked. He obviously knew that I had contacted Professor Bai. ‘Fang’ of course referred to Fang Xin. Moreover, neither Professor Bai nor Fang Xin knew that I had heart problems. Yet the person called ‘Lan Tu’ knew about it!
Who was he? Also, the formula he provided was really just like what Dr. Yu said. The ‘Poison King’ used materials that can be found every day to cure difficult and complicated diseases and the main ingredient was alcohol!
I called ‘Lan Tu’ back, but it showed that the other party’s number was non-existent. It seemed that he was using some kind of computer software to send me text messages, so I had no choice but to send a text message and ask:
“Who are you? Why do you want to help me? Where did you find this recipe?”
The other party only answered one of my questions, but the answer alone was enough to stun me.
“I want to help you because I love you. You can trust me 100%.”
No… way! Who’s playing a prank on me? It’s possible that it was Xiong YaoYue who wanted to trick me into drinking that stuff and then laugh at me, but she doesn’t know about my heart problems!
“Are you… a woman?”
I wanted to narrow it down.
Unexpectedly, the other party’s answer was unexpected again.
“Is gender really that important? Do you have to know my gender before you can decide whether to respond to my love? I’m tired, so that’s it for today. You can cure your heart problems first with this detailed recipe.”
Next, Lan Tu sent over several text messages that was prepared in advance, which detailed how the red wine, liquor, cola, and eggs should be combined. If it was a prank, it would have been too much work.
After that, no matter how many messages I sent, Lan Tu ignored me and kept their word.
Why does this guy care so much about gender? If it’s someone who likes me but isn’t a girl, then I can only think of Peng TouSi! Besides, he did know about my heart problems…
But today wasn’t April Fools’ Day and Halloween already pa.s.sed yesterday. Peng TouSi was a person who likes to get straight to the point and won’t play these kinds of pranks on me.
It’s useless to keep thinking about it. I went to the large underground laboratory in the VIP building to find Dr. Yu. I copied the recipe in the text message and asked him to use the same ratios and conduct experiments on white mice.
“Where did you get this recipe?” Dr. Yu looked solemn, “Although the ingredients are simple, you need professional equipment to prepare it. I think it’s my senior’s style…”
The white mouse we chose to experiment on had been artificially infected with the heart disease for more than two months. After being injected with this formula, it was completely cured! It didn’t die from a heart attack even if it was stimulated with electric shocks later!
Dr. Yu and I were both overjoyed, but we had to do more tests. In order to prove that the formula was really effective, we had to conduct experiments on more white mice.
Final result: None of the fifty infected mice died, and all of them were cured of heart disease with this miraculous formula.
Dr. Yu looked at me with an intense gaze. He probably felt that it was ready for human experimentation.
“This must be a formula you got from my senior, ‘Poison King’! I knew he must have already found an antidote since it’s been so long, but he probably just deliberately delayed it and didn’t want to give it to you! Do you want to take it now?”
As I was faced against Dr. Yu, who was obviously emotional, I actually calmed down a little.
Ai ShuQiao made a deal with me because the virus in my blood can provide her with research materials for a new drug. If I drink the antidote and kill the virus, then wouldn’t the deal be voided? It’s a deal that involves Ai Mi!
I expressed my concerns, but after Dr. Yu tested the mice, he found that although their heart disease was cured, the viruses in their bodies were not killed and instead became a harmless symbiotic component in their blood. Which meant taking the antidote won’t change anything except cure the heart disease.
Why should I wait if it’s that good? At Dr. Yu’s instigation, I picked up the ‘c.o.c.ktail’ prepared in the beaker, then drank it all!
The strange-tasting liquid slid down my throat. I suddenly felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on my shoulders and I shivered unconsciously.
It’s so itchy… it’s unbelievably itchy. It felt like my heart was really itchy and I wanted to take it out and scratch it.
After the itching stopped, there was a strange feeling of coldness on my fingertips, but it didn’t last long and the coldness turned into heat.
It turns out that the mice that were injected with the antidote and started to squeak had all gone through this process! It’s a pity that they couldn’t speak, otherwise they could have warned me and let me be mentally prepared in advance!
“Cough, cough, cough.”
After shuddering for a while, I suddenly began to cough. Along with the cough, a sense of freedom like some kind of shackles had been broken washed over my body.
“It’s definitely cured, right?” Dr. Yu looked at me confidently, “A doctor’s prescription is like a fingerprint. When I saw the prescription, I immediately knew that it was written by my senior… I’m afraid his recipe was leaked and I guess you were able to get your hands on it?”
Although according to Dr. Yu’s advice, I should have still run on the treadmill, received electric shocks, and read mature women’s magazines to make sure that the heart disease was cured, but I only punched the air with Fa Jin once and already knew I was cured.
A Fa Jin attack with eighty percent of your strength makes one’s blood boil. If I still had heart problems, a Fa Jin attack with only 70% of my strength would have caused my heart rate to increase and I would need to be rescued.
My heart problems that had troubled me for so long was cured so easily. I couldn’t help but suspect there was some conspiracy.
I immediately asked Dr. Yu to check my blood composition. After various a.n.a.lyses, it was found that it was the same as that of the white mice. The composition hadn’t changed due to the treatment and my deal with Ai ShuQiao could continue.
“Dr. Yu, can you keep it a secret from Ai ShuQiao and don’t tell her it was cured?” I asked Dr. Yu without much hope.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Yu agreed, “Okay, it’s not like it really affects your deal with her. Also, I recently received some unexpected income, so I’m not in a rush to ask for more funds from Ai ShuQiao.”
It turns out that the man whom Dr. Yu treated in Angola, whose whole family was killed by a landmine, became a prosperous a warlord after he realized that ‘everything was the government’s fault’ and joined the guerrillas. He remembered Dr. Yu and gave him a lot of large Angora diamonds in hopes that Dr. Yu would serve as his military doctor.
“After my friend in America sold the diamond for me, I have plenty of research funds for the time being, so I plan to do things that I like to do. It’s a bit troublesome to have to always follow Ai ShuQiao’s orders…”
Huh? We failed to bribe Dr. Yu, but it seems he bribed himself? Although once his funds run short, Dr. Yu will still have to listen to Ai ShuQiao’s orders, but it’s still good news.
However, Dr. Yu couldn’t guess the ident.i.ty of ‘Lan Tu’. He said that ‘Poison King’ Klinger paid great attention to make sure information was kept confidential and the only way you could steal information from Klinger was if there was a traitor.
