Chapter 550: Chapter 549: Related

Listening to Lin Jing’s words, Huang Yantao instinctively felt uncomfortable.

"Master Lin Jing, what do you mean by that? I respect your superb medical skills, but you can’t be so arrogant. Moreover, have you done something to betray me? Did you disclose my illness? If so, you have violated medical ethics."

Lin Jing looked deeply at Huang Yantao and then said, "Second Young Master, I’ve noticed that ever since you became the acting head of the Huang Group, you’ve become increasingly arrogant. That’s not good."

"You... Lin Jing, don’t think that just because others call you ’Master,’ you can act so conceitedly. This attitude is unacceptable. If others learn how arrogant you are, who knows if they’ll still seek your help."

Lin Jing paid no attention to Huang Yantao’s words.

He used to think the second young master of the Huang Family was quite decent, but people shouldn’t become inflated with pride. Once they do, they lose their way. Just look at Huang Yantao in front of him, who used to be cautious, but since taking charge of the Huang Group, has gradually exposed his true nature. When facing him, he was initially respectful, personally welcoming him, but within a few short exchanges, he completely abandoned his previous demeanor.

"Three... two... one..."

Watching the clock, Lin Jing counted down to one, then stared intently at Huang Yantao, noticing the smile that crept onto his lips as the latter closed his eyes.

"Lin Jing, is this enough?"

Fu Yun had never heard of pills that could make someone tell the truth, so he looked at Lin Jing uncertainly.

Lin Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this is good." Then, he turned directly to Yiyi and said, "Holy Daughter, you can ask whatever you want now, and Huang Yantao will answer truthfully."

Though Yiyi was skeptical about the truth serum, Lin Jing’s assurance prompted her to step forward with a few questions, "Do you know where Huang Yanquan is now?"

"I don’t know."

This answer disappointed Yiyi, as it didn’t align with their assumptions. Could it be that Huang Yantao truly didn’t know Huang Yanquan’s whereabouts? Did they misjudge the situation?

However, Yiyi didn’t dwell on it and continued asking, "When was the last time you saw Huang Yanquan?"

"End of June."

That was when Huang Yanquan broke all contact with his mother, marking the beginning of his disappearance.

At this time, Gu Tingyu stepped forward, gently patted Yiyi’s shoulder, and gestured that he wanted to ask questions.

Yiyi naturally nodded in agreement and made way for Gu Tingyu.

Lin Jing, standing by, reminded, "There are two minutes left, better hurry."

Gu Tingyu wasted no time and directly asked, "Did you send someone to deal with Huang Yanquan?"

"Yes."

"Was it successful?"

At this moment, Huang Yantao laughed heartily, "Of course it was successful, otherwise how could I have become the leader of the group?"

Upon hearing this, the others recognized that Huang Yanquan’s disappearance was certainly connected to him.

Yet, Lin Jing felt suspicious, as he thought he understood Huang Yantao’s methods and personality displayed today. Could he really manipulate the infamous and ruthless eldest son of the Huang Family? Something seemed off.

Gu Tingyu, however, didn’t overthink and continued asking, "How did you deal with Huang Yanquan?"

"I made him disappear forever, so he would never annoy me again." At the end, Huang Yantao’s tone carried a hint of pride.

Hearing this, Yiyi’s face darkened.

"Where did you make your move against Huang Yanquan?"

"In the warehouse." Huang Yantao shrugged and casually replied.

"Quick, he’s about to regain consciousness."

Lin Jing suddenly shouted, and everyone swiftly returned to their previous positions.

This moment, Huang Yantao couldn’t help but shake his head as clarity returned to his mind, wondering why he felt tipsy when he hadn’t drunk much. Still, he hadn’t forgotten the earlier unpleasantness with Lin Jing, frowning as he addressed him, "Master Lin Jing, your words were quite blunt today, and my attitude may not have been great either. Perhaps we should talk things over properly another time."

Even now, Huang Yantao regretted not controlling his temper.

Even though Lin Jing was just a doctor, his medical skills were remarkable, and it wasn’t wise to make an enemy of someone like him, so it was better not to confront him directly.

Upon hearing Huang Yantao’s words, Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "Second Young Master, I agree we should talk later. I might have been too emotional today, but let’s sit down and chat next time."

After saying this, Lin Jing left with Yiyi and the others.

Watching them fade into the distance, Huang Yantao squinted suspiciously, feeling there was something strange about Lin Jing’s behavior today, especially since he came to deliver medicine, yet brought fellow disciples along. It seemed odd, but he couldn’t piece it together, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

On the other side, Yiyi looked at Lin Jing gravely, "Can we use that medicine on Huang Yantao again? The time was too short, and we didn’t get much useful information."

Lin Jing shook his head and said, "No, this medicine can basically only be used once. If used again, it won’t have much effect."

Hearing this, Yiyi felt a bit disappointed.

Gu Tingyu also found it regrettable; such a useful medicine could only be used once. But he hadn’t planned to rely solely on it, so he said to Yiyi, "Let’s check Uncle Huang’s whereabouts, since we know he had an incident at the warehouse, we’ll start our investigation there."

While speaking, he turned to Lin Jing and asked, "Do you know any of the Huang family’s warehouses?"

Lin Jing gave Gu Tingyu an amused glance, "I’m not part of the Huang Family, how would I know that?"

Hearing this, Gu Tingyu didn’t ask further and began quickly arranging the next steps.

Seeing that Gu Tingyu had set everything up, Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the hotel.

Ding Yuejun saw Yiyi and the group return and hurriedly asked, "Yiyi, how did it go? Did you find any news?"

Seeing her mother’s anxious expression, Yiyi carefully chose what she could say, giving a rough overview, and finally said, "Uncle Huang will definitely be fine, so don’t worry."

At this moment, Ding Yuejun’s face was pale, clearly worried yet unable to add to her daughter’s troubles, "Okay, we will definitely find him."
