Chapter 269: Mrs. Eivette

said she needs to pick up some red wine, want to come with me"Su Ke Xin nodded and followed Lin Xiao Ru towards the wine cellar."Actually, Ah Han doesn't like drinking red wine." When choosing the wi...Xu Zui'ning heard Cheng An bring up the name Cheng Jibei again, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

Quickly searching my mind, I finally remembered a face that was pretty but always cold.

She remembered.

This Cheng Jibei, isn't he the son named by Cheng An But there's absolutely no blood relation. He was called a prodigy since childhood and graduated from medical school at the youngest age, becoming the youngest and most promising physician in the entire Chinese medicine world.

She had seen the young man at a previous Chinese Medical Association gathering.

"Your bone-eating, soul-stealing poison is indeed difficult to detect. I couldn't smell anything at all, but even though I can't smell it, I saw it!"

Xu Zui Ning wiped the golden needles in her hand leisurely while she spoke slowly.

When she first entered the room, she didn't smell anything unusual at all.

If this were in the past, she would have relaxed her vigilance and taken this peaceful path. However, now that she has opened her spiritual eyes, even though she couldn't smell anything unusual, she saw faint yellow mist slowly floating inside the room.

She didn't immediately get angry, but pretended not to notice anything unusual.

She quickly took a leaf from the space within her pocket-held Yaohun Stone and put it in her mouth. This allowed her to withstand the bone-eating, soul-confusing miasma inside the private room.

At this moment, Xu Zui Ning was also incredibly grateful that she had opened her spiritual eyes. If she hadn't, she would probably have fallen prey to Cheng An today.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but be curious about Cheng An's son, Cheng Jibin, who was not related by blood. She felt genuine admiration for him deep in her heart.

This journey to the north seems about her age, but I never expected him to be able to develop such a powerful incense. In this current era of our continent, it's practically a miracle.

Cheng An, who was standing beside her, heard Xu Zui Ning's words and his face grew even more anxious. "What are you talking about What did you see"

Of course, Cheng An wouldn't believe Xu Zui Ning's outlandish claims of what she had seen.

Xu Zui Ning sneered, too lazy to talk to him anymore.

She sauntered over to Cheng An's side, suddenly striking with lightning speed. She pressed his head onto the dining table with a loud *bang*, her hand clamping down hard on his back of the neck. With a blank expression, Duanwu stared at him and spoke.

"I don't want to hear these lies from you right now. Just tell me truthfully, how did you know I was the ghost doctor Gu"

Xu Zui'ning remained motionless and continued to act with him after discovering the Eroding Soul in the room, all because she wanted to know what Cheng An truly intended.

She couldn't understand at all, why Cheng An would do this.

From the perspective of Cheng An's contemporaries, she should merely be a medical prodigy with an excellent beauty secret recipe. He should focus on discussing cooperation and as a capitalist, squeezing all her commercial value. Why put bone-corroding and soul-stealing incense in the room

Xu Zui Ning was very curious, so she pretended to be ignorant and decided to investigate Cheng An's background and intentions.

However, the result was beyond her historical records.

This guy actually knows he's from Ghost Doctor Valley!

Not only that, she had just heard Cheng An talking about something like a passage connecting the two continents. This was serious.

This means that not only does this Cheng An know that his master is the ghost doctor Gu, but he also knows that he doesn't belong to this world at all

This surprised Xu Zui'ning greatly.

About the fact that she wasn't from this world, she had never told anyone. How did Cheng An know

Originally, she went to great lengths to get close to Cheng An just to investigate the truth behind her original owner's mother's death. Now, by a twist of fate, it seems she has stumbled upon an even more astonishing revelation.

At this moment, Cheng An was pinned to the table by Xu Zui Ning, a little girl who wouldn't let him go. He struggled constantly, but he had spent years in the business world and lacked exercise. Furthermore, his body was weak from years of socializing at banquets and dinners. Plus, Xu Zui Ning had pressed on an important acupuncture point on his neck, rendering his struggle futile after a long time.

Cheng An saw that he was completely helpless, and with a desperate shout, he yelled, "I won't say anything! Even if you kill me, I won't utter a word!"

Xu Zui'ning looked at Cheng An's pretentious act and found it very amusing.

"It's fine, even if you don't say anything, I have my own way to make you talk!" she said lightly, then took out a bottle of medicine from the Yaohun Stone space. Without saying a word, she picked up a pill and forcefully shoved it into Cheng An's mouth.

Cheng An was forced to swallow the pill, coughing for a while before being so frightened that his eyes trembled and his whole body shook.

"What did you just feed me! Is it poison from your ghost doctors' guild You little wretch, if you dared to poison me, you're as good as dead! I will drag you down with me!"

Xu Zui Ning didn't take Cheng An's empty threats to heart at all, she let out a cold snort, "Rest assured, you're not even worth me wasting a poison pill on. This is just something that will make you tell the truth."

Cheng An, upon hearing this, grew even louder in his insults toward Xu Zui Ning. But gradually, his voice weakened, his eyes began to glaze over, and a confused expression slowly crept onto his face.

This is the effect of Xu Zui Ning's truth serum pill taking hold.

For someone as cunning and sly as Cheng An, even if Xu Zhuening really threatened him with poison, he wouldn't utter a single truthful word. So it would be better to just give him a truth-telling pill directly, for a more effective outcome.

Seeing that Cheng An had already started to feel the effects of the medicine, Xu Zui Ning went straight to the point and asked, "Just tell me! How did you find out about the Ghost Doctor Valley"

When Cheng An heard Xu Zui Ning's question, he originally intended to shout angrily, but when he opened his mouth, the words that came out were completely beyond his control.

He blurted out the truth without hesitation.

"I know you're from Ghost Doctor Valley because the way you practice medicine is exactly like that woman's! There's no such medical skill in our world. When I was in the hospital, I knew you were just like her, also from Ghost Doctor Valley."

Having said that, Cheng An nervously covered her mouth with her hands, looking utterly disbelieving.

What's going on!

How could he possibly tell the truth

Xu Zui Ning heard what Cheng An said, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, "Who was that woman you just mentioned"

Cheng An's face was full of terror, desperately covering his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound, but it was useless. He directly told Xu Zui Ning everything he knew, "I don't know her real name, we all call her Mrs. Eve."

"Mrs. Yevette," Xu Zui Ning repeated the completely unfamiliar name, also puzzled, "How do you know her"

"That was a long time ago," Cheng An, under the influence of the medicine, answered honestly, "That was when I was very young...", but he betrayed the other party just like that.He would actually betray Zhou Shuangqing, such a good man, for a woman as vicious as Shen Qingyan.Zhou Shuangqing heard such an apology from him, feeli...
