Chapter 14: The Qiao Family Will Regret It Sooner or Later

Wei Lou had once asked Qiao Nian if this stuff was really that miraculous. After all, he had seen Qiao Nian treat the legendary, god-like miracle drug as if it were candy, casually stuffing it into her chewing gum container and popping a couple whenever she was annoyed or bored.

"I'm busy. I don't have time to make that much."

Qiao Nian had one leg propped up on the edge of the chair next to her. Her skin was fair, her legs were long, and her waist was slender. She was strikingly beautiful, and there was a red mole on her slender neck that made one want to bite it off!

Wei Lou put away the precious medicine bottle, glanced at her upon hearing this, and gritted his teeth: "Busy my ass! You look plenty free to me, you even have time to play 'tadpole looking for its daddy'."

Qiao Nian was dead serious: "I really am busy."

But the lazy look at the corners of her eyes made her words completely unconvincing!

"Tsk." Wei Lou couldn't be bothered to bicker with her. As if remembering something, he said, "Right, someone is investigating you. They’ve chased you all the way from Beijing to Rao City. It seems like a patient with a very high status wants you to take a look at them."

"Not interested."

Qiao Nian was currently more interested in uncovering the mystery of her own background.

"They've chased you all the way to Rao City. The other party came prepared; they seem to have dug up quite a bit of information on you."

Qiao Nian didn't even turn her head, cold and heartless: "Not seeing them. You handle it for me."

Wei Lou was in the underground business. The black market in Rao City was under his name, and his influence even extended to Beijing.

She and Wei Lou had met by chance; she had saved Wei Lou once, and Wei Lou had helped her in return.

It didn't count as a life-or-death friendship, but she trusted Wei Lou absolutely, and he was one of the few people who knew her true identity.

Wei Lou agreed readily. Ever since this medicine appeared on the black market and Qiao Nian’s reputation as a miracle doctor spread, he had done plenty of these tasks: "OK."

"Then I'm heading off."

She had given him the items and received what she wanted. Qiao Nian had no intention of staying any longer. She stood up and said, "Call me if anything comes up."

Seeing her about to leave, Wei Lou suppressed the reluctance in his eyes: "Got it."

"The Qiao family..."

She had already reached the corner when he remembered the Qiao family matter. He had originally wanted to ask if she wanted him to mess with the Qiao family to vent her anger, but seeing that Qiao Nian had already walked far away, he let it go.

The people in the Qiao family were idiots anyway.

They held onto fish eyes as if they were pearls and were smug about it all day long.

They had managed to turn a hand of royal flushes into a 1-2-3-4-5-6 without a 7; they would regret it sooner or later.

After leaving the clinic, Qiao Nian didn't rush back. She hailed a taxi on the side of the road to Pudong Road's shopping mall, intending to buy some things before heading home.

Inside her single-shoulder backpack, besides a notebook, there was only a change of clothes.

There was traffic control near the mall, so the taxi driver couldn't get in once he reached the intersection.

"Little sister, there's traffic control ahead, I can't get in. You'll have to walk a bit yourself. That okay?"

"No problem."

Qiao Nian glanced at the meter, took out the money for him, and got out of the car.

The roads on both sides hugged the river, and one had to cross the bridge to reach the shopping mall in the city center.

Qiao Nian hadn't walked more than a few steps when she heard someone shouting from the left side ahead: "Someone fell into the water!"

There were quite a few people on the road, and they immediately crowded over.

"Oh my god, someone fell into the water."

"I just saw a little kid who seemed to be picking something up and slipped in."

"Who knows how to swim?"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

But there were many onlookers and few who knew how to swim.

In the crowd of onlookers, Qiao Chen and two of her classmates happened to be nearby. When the accident occurred, they stood together, craning their necks to look down. The current was swift, and it looked terrifying. One of the girls whispered to her: "Chen Chen, I remember you signed up for swimming lessons during summer vacation..."
