Chapter 357: 099: Threat_1

Astrid was truly disappointed.

She had held some expectations for the Immortal Phoenix.

She had hoped the Immortal Phoenix would make all her freckles vanish.

But now...

Reality had dealt her a harsh blow.

As Astrid picked up the Immortal Phoenix, intending to throw it into the trash can, a knocking sound suddenly echoed through the air.

Knock knock knock--

Astrid set down the Immortal Phoenix and went to answer the door.

The visitor was none other than Mary.

Mary said with a smile, "Dear, good morning."

"Good morning." Astrid’s mood was not as good as Mary’s.

Curious, Mary asked, "What’s wrong?"

Astrid sighed, "Look at my face, it proves that Hua Country skincare products have absolutely no effect."

Upon hearing this, Mary looked up at Astrid’s face.

The golden morning sun shone through the window, casting a layer of golden gauze over Astrid’s face.

Mysterious and hazy.

It’s just that the freckles on her face were still somewhat noticeable.

If it weren’t for those freckles, Astrid would definitely be a great beauty.

As a mother, Mary also felt regret.

After a moment, Mary said with a smile, "Don’t worry, this is only the first day you’ve used it. Keep at it, and I believe one day you’ll see the results."

Astrid sighed, "It’s useless, I specifically looked through other people’s reviews, and they all said they saw a bit of an effect the morning after the first use."

Almost everyone said it worked.

Albeit minimally.

But upon close inspection, you could still see it.

But she couldn’t see any effect on her face at all.

As she said this, Astrid once again picked up the Immortal Phoenix, about to throw it into the trash can.

Mary, quick to react, stopped her, "Astrid, don’t be impulsive. Our skin is different from that of people in Hua Country after all, slow results might be due to other ingredients in the product taking time to adapt. Since you’ve already used it, give it some more time."

Mary’s voice was very gentle, and after a pause, she added, "This is a product that people can’t buy even with a queue, are you sure you want to throw it away like this? Do you believe that even if you’ve used it, you could still sell it on a second-hand trading platform and there would still be a bunch of people wanting to buy? And that they would be scrambling to purchase it."

To discard it would be no different from not knowing one’s good fortunes while living in the midst of them.

Hearing these words, Astrid’s expression cooled down a bit, and she placed the Immortal Phoenix back on the dressing table, "Mom, when will this Immortal Phoenix start showing results on my face?"

Mary said with a smile, "Don’t rush it, people in Hua Country believe in fate, the fact that the Immortal Phoenix came to you is fate, and when it will take effect is also a matter of fate."

Astrid nodded.

Heeding her mother’s words, Astrid didn’t throw away the Immortal Phoenix and continued to use it.

Elsewhere.

At the Zhang Family residence.

Shi Wenli sat in his study, listening to a subordinate’s report, with a complex expression on his face.

Soon after, the subordinate handed a tablet to Shi Wenli, "This is the surveillance footage you asked me to check."

Shi Wenli took the tablet and examined it carefully.

Lu Ye’s incident had happened at night.

Therefore, the lighting wasn’t very good.

However, the night-vision camera still captured Lu Ye’s figure.

But then.

He vanished into an alley in the blink of an eye.

The camera in the alley had been tampered with, and no trace could be found.

Before long.

Another figure approached.

The girl was somewhat slender, but she was very tall.

This was...

Lin Wu!

Seeing Lin Wu, Shi Wenli slightly furrowed his brows, he had always believed Lu Ye was mistaken.

He hadn’t expected Lin Wu to actually appear in the surveillance footage.

Could it be...

The person who bandaged Lu Ye was really Lin Wu?

Shi Wenli was puzzled.

He had investigated Lin Wu’s background.

A bastard with no real abilities, who had just half a year ago kneeled in front of the Zhang Family’s villa, begging the Zhang Family to take her in.

The Zhang Family ignored her, and she even made a scene in front of Zhang Xianxian, disrupting Zhang Xianxian’s 18th birthday and making a spectacle in front of the Zhang Family’s guests.

Shi Wenli simply couldn’t believe that such a girl, hungry for fame and fortune and full of schemes, had any medical skill!

Let alone such profound medical skills.

Shi Wenli had later examined Lu Ye’s wounds and found that he was seriously injured, the knife had almost penetrated his heart.

If he hadn’t been treated in time, his chances of survival would have been impossible.

Moreover.

The wound was bandaged too perfectly.

Without at least a decade of medical training, it would be impossible to perform such a difficult surgery.

Even Shi Wenli’s master, upon seeing this person, would probably have to offer their respect.

Just then.

A second figure suddenly appeared in the video.

The person was dressed in a high-end cocktail dress, wearing a crystal crown on her head, exuding an aura of wealth. Quickly, she too entered the alley.
