The Favored Heiress-Chapter 771: The Only One Who Can Make Him Submit is Li Qiao

Chapter 771: Chapter 771: The Only One Who Can Make Him Submit is Li Qiao

After a short while, Yun Lih pinched out the cigarette with a disgusted face, feeling that something was off regardless of how he smoked it.

He was about to throw it away casually when Su Moshi stopped his motion, "Give it to me, if it’s a fake, I’ll hold the convenience store accountable."

Yun Lih looked at the cigarette box and stuffed it into his hand, then turned around and waved dismissively, "Make damn sure you follow up on it."

Su Moshi watched his retreating figure, the entire pack of cigarettes unknowingly getting crushed in his grip.

Shang Yu sensed Li Qiao’s tense body, released her hand, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders to pull her to his side, asking with eyes as deep as the ocean, "What did you find out?"

Su Moshi’s nostrils flared as he opened his palm to look at the deformed cigarette box, "The problem isn’t with the cigarettes... These are not cigarettes."

The convenience stores in the small town are international chains; they never sell fake cigarettes.

Su Moshi’s expression was unusually solemn, "His blood and hair samples show the presence of artificially synthesized cannabinoids, and not only that, there are excessive residues of chlorpromazine."

Chlorpromazine, a potent tranquilizer.

Li Qiao’s dark eyes flashed with raging flames, but the flicker was fleeting.

Leaning on Shang Yu’s shoulder, her eyebrows and eyes were edged with icy frost, "How long has it been?"

Su Moshi spoke with a stiff tone, suppressing the agitation in his emotions, his voice very low, "Judging by the hair analysis, at least a month."

He paused, then gripped the cigarette box tighter, "Synthetic cannabinoids are a type of new drug, usually hidden in cigarette tobacco for people to smoke. The cannabinoids themselves resemble tobacco fibers, making it very difficult for ordinary people to distinguish. Brother Lih, with his sharp senses, didn’t notice because the culprit also used a tranquilizer on him, which suppressed the neurological effects of the cannabinoids."

The impact and side effects of drugs on the human body are also fields of research explored by the Medical Alliance.

However, drugs like ’Natasha,’ which are new to the market, are very rare and mostly traded in the black market.

Moreover, its effects on the body are suppressed by tranquilizers, and the only way to get a glimpse into its effects is to wait until Yun Lih... experiences a drug craving episode.

At that moment, Li Qiao’s eyes were tinged with dark red, and her breathing grew heavier.

So, the gift Xiao Yehui mentioned wasn’t about buying a marquisate, but rather... Yun Lih.

He had poisoned Yun Lih and also administered a strong tranquilizer.

Xiao Yehui knew from the start that Yun Lih was at the manor.

Li Qiao closed her eyes, suppressing the rampaging anger and murderous intent within her; after a long time, she spoke slowly and deliberately, "Cure him, no matter what."

Su Moshi let out a heavy sigh and gazed at the distant, picturesque meadows, "Should we tell him?"

"There’s no need." Shang Yu clasped Li Qiao’s neck and pressed her close into his embrace, his slender, well-proportioned fingers weaving through her hair, lightly caressing it twice, "How many researchers specializing in drugs does the Medical Alliance have?"

Su Moshi tossed the cigarette box away with a backward flick, straightening his cropped hair, "Only three. Most have researched common drugs like heroin and methamphetamine. This new type of synthetic cannabinoid is many times more potent than traditional cannabis, and with the effect of the tranquilizer, if we don’t find out how it was synthesized, rash treatment might backfire."

Forced detoxification is just a means, not the best option for a cure.

Furthermore, Yun Lih’s physical condition is not clear, unless his metabolism is sped up to eliminate the residual tranquilizer from his body.

Li Qiao buried her head in Shang Yu’s arms; after several deep breaths, she lifted her head, her expression extremely grim, "What if we find the cigarette butts he previously smoked?"

"It’s useless." Su Moshi shook his head and sighed, "The cannabinoids are hidden in the front end of the cigarettes, gone after a couple of puffs, and Brother Lih’s blood contains just enough, neither more nor less, the other party... obviously progressed step by step. If they had started with a large quantity of the drug, even the tranquilizer would hardly have been able to suppress it."

Li Qiao’s knowledge of drugs was relatively shallow.

She had never imagined someone close to her would consume such substances.

Xiao Yehui!

Li Qiao lowered her head, hiding the bloodshot color in her eyes, "Synthetic cannabinoids... I’ll think of a way."

Su Moshi looked at Shang Yu and saw his brows slightly furrowed, so he tactfully changed the subject, "Actually, there’s no need to worry too much. Fortunately, he hasn’t been using for long. We’ll think of a solution together, and we’ll solve it eventually. Weren’t you going to get a check-up? I’ve already arranged for the obstetrics and gynecology department..."

Before he could finish, Li Qiao turned and was about to leave, "My check-up can be postponed."

Su Moshi’s expression froze in helplessness as he looked toward Shang Yu.

The man didn’t notice his plea for help and, with a sideways lift of his arm, wrapped it around Li Qiao’s slender waist, pulling her back to him with an undeniable force.

Li Qiao’s movement was stopped, and she looked up, crashing into Shang Yu’s deep eyes; she pursed her lips and said no more.

The man looked down at her, his handsome face serious and even showing a hint of dominance, "First the check-up, be good."

The words of refusal Li Qiao had were swallowed back by Shang Yu’s persuasive words.

Her fingers clutched his shirt as she turned her face away; it took her a long time to quietly agree.

Shang Yu knew what she was thinking and gave Su Moshi a look. The latter nodded and turned back to the testing room.

The sky was overcast, the fog thick.

Shang Yu took off his coat and draped it over Li Qiao’s shoulders. His warm palm cupped her cheek, his fingertips rubbing the reddened corner of her eye, "What do you want to do?"

Li Qiao’s slender figure was mostly concealed by the coat, her breath filled with his strong scent.

She sighed, her faint voice scattered by the wind, "Find cannabinoids."

Yun Lih’s current lack of symptoms was entirely due to the sedatives.

The synthesis route of cannabinoids was unknown and urgently needed to be verified.

Once the sedatives in his body were metabolized, it was unpredictable what Yun Lih was going to face.

The type of drug not even recorded by the Medical Alliance, which Xiao Yehui dared to maliciously use on Yun Lih.

He, deserved to die!

Shang Yu cradled her face, leaned over to her ear, and whispered in a deep voice, "He won’t be in trouble, and I won’t let anything happen to him. First, do the check-up; leave the rest to me, okay?"

Li Qiao looked up at the man’s eyes, dark as spilled ink, focused as if they could only contain her.

Her heart fluttered, and her entire being softened; she tiptoed to kiss his lips, her eyes regaining their usual calm, "Ok."

Finishing, Li Qiao took hold of his hand, walking decisively towards the testing room.

A thin smile appeared on Shang Yu’s lips, watching her violent emotions gradually dissolve in front of him, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction filling his chest.

In this world, the only one who could make him submit was Li Qiao.

Similarly, the only one who could make Li Qiao compromise was Shang Yu. freeweɓnøvel~com

After the two left for the testing room, in the corner of the mansion, Xia Siyu’s face was deathly pale, trembling as she took out her phone; it took her a long time to finally make a call. The moment she spoke, her voice broke down in tears, "Brother, I need cannabinoids. Please, find some fast."

As the eldest brother of the Xia family heard her sobbing, he sat up abruptly from bed, "What happened? Xiaxia, don’t cry, tell me clearly what you need?"
