Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Tu Anliang Poses No Threat to You

The next second, a breath that was warm and barely perceptible swept across her forehead.

Li Qiao came to her senses to see Shang Yu leaning over her and cupping the back of her head with his palm to prevent her from dodging, "Inviting you to the Mansion was to ensure you get a good night’s sleep.

As for Jiugong, he indeed sought me out, but I turned him down, Tu Anliang isn’t qualified to be a threat to you."

The man’s voice was magnetic and hoarse, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The twists and turns in Li Qiao’s mind suddenly vanished like smoke.

She tried to suppress her smile and pursed her lips, uttering an "Oh" with a slight, triumphant glee spreading through her heart.

Perhaps everyone thought she was no match for Tu Anliang, yet only Shang Yu was blunt enough to say that the other party wasn’t qualified to threaten her.

At that moment, Li Qiao shook her head gently and took a step back, "I’m sleepy."

The deeper the dew, the richer the night, the most beguiling moment for the soul.

Especially with a beauty like her present, having had a drink.

Li Qiao always remembered that saying: some words are best left for men to say.

So, she was willing to wait!

...

A few minutes later, Li Qiao arrived at the guest room where she had stayed before.

Every scene and object in the room was still familiar.

She went straight to the bathroom, and as expected, saw brand-new clothes placed beside the bathtub.

Li Qiao leaned against the door, looking at the shelf and bit her lip with a bit of happiness.

After bathing, Li Qiao returned to the bedroom while drying her hair.

She picked up her phone intending to send a message to Jiugong when suddenly a WeChat message popped up.

Shang Yu: Not asleep yet?

Li Qiao looked at the chat page, stroked her damp hair with her fingers, and replied to him: When will Master Yan sleep?

The man responded instantly: Waiting for you to fall asleep.

Li Qiao quickly sent a [Good night] picture and ended the chat.

She lay on the bed, phone in hand, gazing at the ceiling light, with a smile brimming in her doe eyes, light refracting brightly.

...

The next day, after breakfast, Li Qiao took Shang Yu’s car to the company.

Her Mercedes was driven by Luoyu, following behind in the motorcade.

At ten in the morning, Li Qiao received a call from Academician Jiang.

On the phone, Academician Jiang spoke seriously, "Qiaoqiao, the girl with the strange disease came by yesterday evening."

Li Qiao took her phone into the break room, "Hmm, teacher, do you think there is an issue?"

Academician Jiang flipped through his notebook, pondered for a long while, and said, "It seems to indeed be a chromosomal mutation that caused it. I’ve completed a genetic test on her, and Lian Zhen produced the test results overnight yesterday.

Currently, there are no signs of any genetic diseases in her genes, I’ve had an in-depth discussion with several lab technicians, and there are two possible causes of this girl’s strange condition, radiation and chemical exposure."

Hearing the results of Academician Jiang’s discussion, Li Qiao’s eyes gradually became profound and lingering.

The likelihood of Guan Mingyu being exposed to radiation wasn’t high.

Places with high levels of radiation are typically concentrated in hospital CT rooms or large factories like nuclear power stations.

Guan Mingyu’s living patterns were simple and didn’t include such characteristics.

Therefore, it’s very possible it was a chemical agent.

At that moment on the other end of the line, Academician Jiang didn’t hear a response from Li Qiao as someone came to consult with him.

Academician Jiang then hurriedly added, "Qiaoqiao, I’ve got something urgent coming up, it’s best if you come over when you have time. This young lady’s condition isn’t challenging, but is indeed worth looking into deeply, I’ll hang up now."
