Chapter 1562

Zhu Yanyi looked at the four patients and said, "This is not ordinary medicine. It has a name: Cleansing Soup. You have probably seen martial arts TV dramas."

The four patients nodded. Luo Zhengwei said, "I watch them occasionally at home."

Zhu Yanyi hummed. "In martial arts stories, there is a pill called Marrow-Cleansing Pill. It cleans impurities from bones and muscles, making them stronger and restoring martial arts talent. My soup doesn’t have that effect, but the idea is the same.

After you drink it, it will start from your head and slowly clean every inch of your body, including bones, blood, muscles, and meridians, killing the gu worms hidden inside.

But this process is very painful. You must endure it. If you can’t, let my senior brother tie you up. This soup requires you to stay awake, so knocking you out won’t help."

The four patients looked at each other. The older one thought for a moment and asked Qu Zhong to tie them up. He was worried he might not hold on if he got too weak.

Zhu Yanyi had no objection. She let Qu Zhong restrain them, then fed them the medicine.

Zhu Yanyi’s description was mild. Only those who drank the Cleansing Soup would understand how miserable it was.

Zhu Yanyi watched the four carefully. Although she looked expressionless, only she knew that if anyone’s energy dropped, she would need to stimulate them. Treating four people this way was no easier than performing surgery.

Fortunately, her efforts paid off. After four hours of cleansing, all the gu worms in their bodies were killed. Then they needed to detoxify again.

By the time they finished detoxifying, it was the next afternoon. In total, Zhu Yanyi stayed in the hospital for over thirty hours for this single gu-removal treatment.

Once they were fully detoxified, Zhu Yanyi told them to sleep. She spoke briefly with Gu Jingtian, gave some instructions, and then went home with Qu Zhong to sleep.

Zhu Yanyi took a shower and slept. When she woke up, it was late at night. She came out and saw Yan Aohan still awake, reading documents in the study.

Yan Aohan saw Zhu Yanyi wake up and stood up. "You’re awake. I’ll make you a bowl of noodles. Do you want beef or braised pork?"

"Just plain water noodles. Eating beef or braised pork late at night might make me gain a pound tomorrow," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at her figure. Girls always worried about gaining weight.

"With your body, it’s hard to gain weight," Yan Aohan said. Zhu Yanyi’s body had no impurities. Even the waste produced from meals didn’t stay long. Usually, after eating and using the toilet, the waste from the previous meal was expelled. So, it was impossible for her to gain weight.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Health guides say eating at night is bad."

"You haven’t eaten dinner yet," Yan Aohan said. He went to make the noodles. He didn’t add beef or braised pork, but instead added a tomato and an egg, making tomato and egg noodles.

After finishing the noodles, Zhu Yanyi checked the time. "Why are you still reading documents so late? Is it urgent?"

"Not really urgent. I’m mainly checking the current situation of the three mercenary groups."

Yan Aohan cleaned up Zhu Yanyi’s bowl and chopsticks while speaking. "The treasure map was released, and the plan is going well. Plus, the rumors we designed spread out. Pink Wolf, wanting to show off her ability, emphasized Dan Wolf’s betrayal in her report to Red Wolf. Since Dan Wolf is missing, it’s easy to smear her."

Yan Aohan smiled as he shared the information with Zhu Yanyi. "Red Wolf’s people are already shady, but they can’t stand others being shady. So, they firmly believe Dan Wolf betrayed the mercenary group. They brought seventy to eighty percent of their forces to China. I then sent information to Ghost Wolf and Crocodile mercenary groups, saying Red Wolf found the treasure map’s location. Naturally, Ghost Wolf and Crocodile didn’t want to miss this chance, so they also rushed over with seventy to eighty percent of their forces. It’s going quite well."

"Don’t bring them to China and cause chaos here," Zhu Yanyi said. "If you’re scheming, do it elsewhere."

"I led them to an empty border area in the southeast, far from China. That empty place appeared five hundred years ago, which fits the treasure map’s timeline. So, even if Red Wolf, Ghost Wolf, and Crocodile suspect something, they will still go there. It’s better to believe it’s true than to ignore it."

Yan Aohan smiled and pointed to the documents in his hand. "See, the reports say where they are now and what they’re doing."

"When do you plan to destroy them?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

"When they reach the designated place, I’ll destroy them. These people are all scum. Not only do they have blood on their hands, but it’s innocent blood. They should have been destroyed long ago."

"As long as you’ve planned it well," Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I’m tired of seeing these three mercenary groups." Then she added, "Last time you sent a message to Silver Fox. What did he say?"

"What could he say? No reply," Yan Aohan said calmly. "Silver Fox knows me. He knows that if I say something, I’ll do it. Sending him a message was just to notify him."

Zhu Yanyi hummed. "Why is Silver Fox so calm? You say he doesn’t care about the three mercenary groups, but he was the one who sent the news that Red Wolf was targeting me. But if you say he cares, he’s indifferent while they’re about to be destroyed. What is Silver Fox thinking?"

Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s confused expression, Yan Aohan just smiled and rubbed her head. "Why do you care? You only need to care about me."

"You’re jealous over this?" Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan, but her eyes held more smiles.

Zhu Yanyi knew she still hadn’t figured out Silver Fox. Since she couldn’t see through him, she could only leave it aside.

While Zhu Yanyi wondered what Silver Fox was doing, Silver Fox was meeting someone unexpected: Zhan Diting.

Zhu Yanyi knew Zhan Diting had gone to deliver the antidote for Absolute Soul, so she didn’t know she had returned. However, she didn’t come to see them; instead, she went to see Silver Fox.

"Qian Huansheng, long time no see," Zhan Diting said, looking at Silver Fox with intense battle intent in his eyes.
