Master's Little Girl Has Grown Up

After the festival ended, people started to return to work one after another.    

On the way to the company, Lei Ming suddenly asked Faang Zui, "When will Wuchen come back? Did he say anything?"    

Faang Zui looked at his phone and replied, "No, but he should be back soon."    

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the company's building.    

Just as they were about to go up the stairs, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.    

"Lei Ming," Lu Yang said.    

"Why are you here?" Lei Ming blurted out.    

"I have something to talk to you about. Let's talk alone."    

Lei Ming's eyes darkened slightly. "Forget it. I'm in a hurry for a meeting."    

"Five minutes! Just five minutes."    

After thinking for a while, Lei Ming turned to look at Faang Zui. Before he could say anything, Faang Zui said, "I'll go up first. Don't be late."    

Lei Ming nodded. "Okay."    

Faang Zui walked towards the elevator.    

Lei Ming and Lu Yang walked into the stairwell.    

"If you have something to say, say it here."    

Lu Yang stared at Lei Ming with disappointment on her face. "It seems that we really can't go back."    

"Lu Yang, let's not talk about this now. If you are fine, I'll go up."    

"Wait!" Lu Yang said, "Actually, I just want to see if you are alright. It's good that you are fine."    

"What do you mean?" Lei Ming was confused.    

"I know that you guys have unintentionally participated in the internal strife of the E royal family. I heard that your people were poisoned. I'm worried about you, so I came to see if you are alright. Lei Ming, although we can't be brothers anymore, I still hope that you can live well."    

"How did you know about this?" Lei Ming asked.    

"Don't worry about it. But I can tell you for sure that I am not standing on your side this time, and I won't be in the future. Also... we know that your alliance leader and her husband are very powerful, but it is easy to dodge the spear, but hard to defend the arrow. It's best that you don't interfere with the matter of the E royal family. Otherwise, not only you two members will be poisoned, but you will also be in danger."    

Two members!    

Lei Ming was slightly startled, and a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.    

Where did they come from?    

Bai Wuchen was the only one who was poisoned, and it had already been cured.    

"You said that two of us were poisoned." Lei Ming asked.    

"That's right, one man and one woman. Especially that woman, the poison she was poisoned with was said to be very powerful and hard to cure. Furthermore, she would be tortured to the point of unbearable pain. Lei Ming, you must be careful."    

Lei Ming frowned and thought to himself, "One man and one woman, the man is naturally Wuchen, and the woman is... Chu Xi?    

Not long ago, only Chu Xi had been to the E country. If it wasn't for her, it could be someone else from the branch of the E country.    

Seeing that Lei Ming's expression was not right, Lu Yang asked, "You... don't you know?"    

Lei Ming said, "Someone was poisoned, but only one person."    

"But I heard that there were two people. You can go back and confirm it."    

"Why are you telling me all this?"    

"... Just take it as me thanking you."    

"Thank me?"    

"If it wasn't for you, I might not have lived until now. Lei Ming, no matter what, in my heart, you are always my good brother. I will definitely remind you about the things that will affect your safety." Lu Yang looked at the time and said, "Alright, five minutes have passed. You can go up now. It's time for me to leave."    

Lei Ming pondered as he walked into the company. Suddenly, Faang Zui's voice sounded in his ears, "We're done."    

Lei Ming almost jumped up, "I'll go! You gave me a scare!"    

"How can you be so easily frightened? You must be guilty!" Faang Zui came close to him and asked, "What did Lu Yang tell you?"    

Lei Ming pulled him back and quickly walked into the office.    

"Lu Yang said that he knew that we accidentally got involved in the internal strife of the E royal family. He also said that two of us were poisoned by a Gu. It was a man and a woman, and the Gu on the woman's body was very powerful and difficult to cure."    

Faang Zui was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "How did he know? Are you sure that what he said is true?"    

After thinking for a while, Lei Ming said, "I don't think he lied to me. Could it be that there is another person who was poisoned by the Gu? Could it be Xiao Xi?"    

"It shouldn't be. If Xiao Xi was poisoned by the Gu, Wuchen would definitely help her remove it as soon as possible. However, it is possible that the master and disciple are hiding it from us. If it wasn't for Baili Yi discovering it, we wouldn't have known that Wuchen was poisoned by the Gu. However, what does Lu Yang mean by telling you all this?"    

"He's... He's just reminding me to pay attention."    

"Oh, so he cares about you."    

"... Stop talking about this!" Lei Ming continued, "I'm worried that Xiao Xi is hiding from us and even from Wuchen. Lu Yang said that the Gu poison is very powerful and very torturing. If she doesn't say anything and silently endure it, it won't be good."    

Faang Zui nodded. "What you said makes sense. Let's call her and ask."    

"I'll call her." Lei Ming immediately took out his phone and dialed Chu Xi's number.    

Hot Spring Villa.    

Chu Xi was eating breakfast when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Lei Ming, she immediately picked up the phone. "Hello, Brother Lei Ming."    

"Xiao Xi, there's something I want to ask you. You must tell me the truth." Lei Ming said.    

"Hmm? What is it?"    

"Did you... get poisoned?"    

Hearing that, Chu Xi's expression changed slightly. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Chu Feng, who was also looking at her.    

"No." Chu Xi maintained her composure and replied with a smile.    

"Really?" Lei Ming did not seem to believe her.    

"Really." Chu Xi's tone was certain.
