Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 43 Miracle Oil and Power Pills

As soon as Yan Le walked out of the classroom, she was immediately ambushed a second time by Ju Feng behind her.

"Ah... I can't breathe." Yan Le pleaded for mercy a second time in a very formulaic way.

"I'm going to suffocate you!" Ju Feng said fiercely. "When did you become so amazing? And you didn't even tell me, so I had to worry about you!"

"This, this is an accident."

"What kind of accident?" Ju Feng released Yan Le, looking very suspicious. "You didn't actually go to work, but secretly went somewhere for tutoring, did you? You really have a terrible conscience."

"Where can I get tutoring for this kind of thing?!"

"Who says it's not allowed?" Ju Feng snorted. "I've heard of some women who use their bodies to seduce male teachers in our college, like using their sex organs to get promoted. You're not one of those people, are you?"

Yan Le was truly exasperated with her friend: "Where did you even begin to describe this?"

"Then hurry up and explain what happened!" Ju Feng rubbed Yan Le's face into various shapes as if venting his anger. "If you dare to give me a perfunctory answer, I won't be so polite!"

Yan Le knew that Ju Feng's excitement stemmed from both her happiness for her and her eagerness to know the truth. After all, special advancements were indeed difficult, and even for outstanding students like them in the Rising Star Class, they could only progress step by step, gradually improving.

Yanle was a complete failure in the last assessment, but this time she showed a strength that was second to none. This kind of improvement cannot be explained simply by sitting on the promotion machine.

If other people weren't unfamiliar with Yan Le, they would probably have already come up and asked her how she did it.

This put Yan Le in a difficult position. Firstly, her strength wasn't as formidable as she had just displayed. In Yan Le's own perception, the concentration of her special particles had indeed increased, but it was definitely not enough to shatter the puppet with a single kick. Her ability to shatter the puppet was primarily due to her unique method of exerting force—that kick itself.

To be honest, Yan Le also couldn't understand that kick.

She had only intended to kick casually, after all, she wasn't a sports student and couldn't make any exaggerated movements. But she didn't expect that when she took a step, her body would move on its own as if wound up, and she actually successfully replicated the Fiery Knight's kick.

Although it is far inferior in power, the movements are almost identical.

How is this done?
Could it be that after merging with Bai Chi, her body was unconsciously being trained... uh, influenced?
Seeing that Yan Le remained silent for a long time, Ju Feng raised an eyebrow: "Oh~ so you don't want to tell me, huh? Fine, looks like I'm just someone you can do without..."

"How could that be! You're my best friend!" Yan Le said with a wry smile. "But would you believe me if I said I still don't fully understand the situation?"

"Hmm... that's fine then." Ju Feng noticed Yan Le's dilemma and nodded without pressing the matter further.

Yan Le breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still conflicted.

She can't just tell Jufeng the truth now, can she? If she does, shouldn't the next step be to introduce Jufeng to Baichi?
Although Yanle had no problem with Bai Chi, she didn't want to drag her friend into this mess, especially considering that Ju Feng was only wearing underwear in Bai Chi's consciousness space...

She couldn't help but glance at Ju Feng's proud and sinful chest, and for a moment she couldn't help but wonder if that would affect Bai Chi's battle.

Ju Feng sensed something and his eyes immediately became alert: "I feel like you're thinking about something strange."

Your perception is far too sharp! Is your father really just a lawyer and not a policeman?! Thinking about it any further, she really didn't dare to even make that connection.

Of course, Ju Feng was just asking casually; she didn't actually know what Yan Le was thinking. Besides, she was already pondering other things, muttering to herself, "Specialist... ability enhancement... in a short time..."

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and her gaze toward Yan Le became much more dangerous.

"What's wrong?" Yan Le asked, puzzled, wondering how she had offended Ju Feng again.

But Ju Feng didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took Yan Le's arm and quickly walked to a secluded spot. After confirming that no one could hear him, he asked seriously, "Tell me honestly, Yan Le, you haven't taken any strange medicine, have you?"

Yan Le was taken aback: "What strange medicine?"

"I mean, your strength has suddenly increased so much. Have you taken any strange drugs? Or done any experiments?" Ju Feng said, emphasizing each word. "Look me in the eyes, Yan Le. Don't lie to me. This is no joke!"

Seeing that Ju Feng had already said that, Yan Le could only answer very seriously: "I can assure you that I have not taken any drugs or conducted any experiments."

Ju Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine then."

After saying that, she tried to leave, but Yan Le grabbed her hand.

"What? You just left like that?" Yan Le's voice was filled with confusion and a hint of caution. She keenly sensed that this matter was not so simple. "You still haven't told me what happened. Why are you suddenly asking this? What's wrong?"

"It's really not a big deal." Ju Feng hesitated for a moment before saying to Yan Le, "You know my father is a lawyer, right?"

Yan Le nodded.

“He’s taken on a few cases recently, some of which involve drug-induced damage,” Ju Feng said. “I took a quick look, and most of these drugs are related to increasing the concentration of specific particles.”

"Increase the concentration of special particles?" Yan Le was quite surprised. "Is that really possible?"

"Anyway, the report said it was effective, but the side effects were severe," Ju Feng said. "They were the kind of serious consequences that are completely unacceptable, which is why I was worried that you might have taken that stuff. Now that I know you didn't, let's go, it's time for class."

Yan Le still didn't let go, because she had already guessed what was going on: "Could it be the New World Society?"

Ju Feng's eyes widened: "How did you know?!"

Sure enough it is!
Yan Le was worried about where to find out about the New World Society, but she didn't expect that Ju Feng had some information. She immediately asked, "What exactly happened? Can you tell me in detail?"

"Why do you care about this?" Ju Feng asked, her face full of reluctance. "Isn't it enough that you're alright? It has nothing to do with us."

"That's exactly what I want to know," Yan Le said. "Are they the drugs manufactured by the New World Society? If so, they're the defendants, and Uncle is the plaintiff's lawyer?"

After a moment of silence, Ju Feng reluctantly said, "No, my dad is the defendant's lawyer."

Yan Le was taken aback.

"Why are you making that face? This is normal work, okay?" Ju Feng said. "My dad is a lawyer. When people come to him for a case, of course he has to handle it. Are there good and bad lawyers?"

Despite Ju Feng's best efforts to remain calm, Yan Le keenly detected a hint of barely concealed panic in her friend's eyes. Yan Le rarely saw this kind of panic in Ju Feng; the last time was when they faced Bai Chi.

"You've misunderstood; that's not what I meant."

"That's fine then." Ju Feng tried to change the subject, but after a brief pause, she still sighed, "Forget it, what's the point of lying to myself? My dad is just a money-grubbing scoundrel, even I think so."

"Well, you don't have to think of your father like that..."

“I’m just stating the facts. Of course, I’m not entirely targeting him. I just think all so-called top lawyers are like that,” Ju Feng said in a low voice. “My dad himself knows the truth about some cases, otherwise he wouldn’t have warned me to stay away from the New World Society. But he still goes to work for the New World Society. According to him, lawyers shouldn’t have any stance… It’s unbelievable.”

Noticing that Ju Feng was in low spirits, she immediately comforted him, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

“I really don’t want to talk about this kind of thing, you know Yanle, I’ve been secretly reading my dad’s files since I was little, so I know what this world is really like.” Jufeng said quietly, “There’s an old saying that goes, the more people you know, the more you like dogs. I’m the same way, which is why I like you so much.”

Yan Le nodded subconsciously, then realized something was off: "Wait, you're saying I'm a dog?"

“It’s a metaphor. What I mean is that you’re very pure, really pure,” Ju Feng said earnestly. “That’s precisely why I don’t want you to come into contact with those dark things that will corrupt you. Corruption has no end. At first, you only sold your body once or twice for money, and you didn’t think it was a big deal then, but the next step is training, confinement, and then pregnancy…”

Yan Le felt something was off as she listened. What on earth was she talking about?!
Yan Le looked at Ju Feng again and saw that Ju Feng's eyes were smiling, the relaxed curve of her smile immediately making Yan Le realize that Ju Feng had composed herself and was just joking. This immediately relieved Yan Le, but after a brief hesitation, she still said to Ju Feng very seriously, "Could you let me see those files?"

……

There was a "swipe" sound.

The heavy curtains were suddenly pulled open, and blinding sunlight pierced through like a sword, instantly filling the hospital room, which was filled with the smell of medicine. When the intense light generously fell on the sleeping Joong-ki, he immediately woke up as if burned.

He was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but when he saw the person standing by the window, he immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"Father, father."

"I'm very disappointed in you." Zhongji's father, Zhongshan, the president of the New World Society, looked indifferently at his son who had lost an arm and said in a cold tone, "It was such a simple thing, but you made it like this."

"I... I don't understand why this is happening either," Song-ki said in a panic. "The monsters have suddenly developed ominous characteristics, and I really can't do anything about it."

"Enough! I didn't come here to listen to your excuses," Zhong Shan rudely interrupted Zhong Ji. "Tell me first, what's the deal with that knight?"

"A knight?" Zhongji didn't react at first. "What knight?"

Zhong Shan didn't explain, he just stared at him quietly. The intensely oppressive gaze made him break out in a cold sweat, and he immediately remembered: "You, you mean the guy who took care of Liang Rong?"

“He did more than just deal with Liang Rong,” Zhong Shan said coldly. “After you failed against the monster, he stepped in and defeated it. Now the whole city is talking about that mysterious red knight, calling him a hero.”

Song Joong-ki clenched his remaining fist tightly, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

It's like this again, it's like this again!
Those accolades and credits should have been his!
Zhongji wanted to roar out loud, but he didn't dare to do so in front of his father. He could only whisper, "I don't understand. When he fought me, he didn't show any strength to defeat the monster. And at that time, he wasn't red, but gray."

"You mean, there are still two people?"

“No, it’s definitely the same person,” Zhongji said. “I just don’t understand why he didn’t use his red form from the start when he fought me, if color corresponds to strength.”

"He also has a black form, did you know that?"

"I know, it was during the first encounter with the monster..."

"No, not there, it was an hour ago on our cargo ship."

Zhongji was stunned: "What?"

“An hour ago, while you were still unconscious, this guy attacked our cargo ship and called the police. Now the entire ship and its cargo have been seized,” Zhong Shan said coldly. “He’s already made a move against us, but we still don’t know who he is. Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”

Zhongji opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. After all, he had just been rescued from the brink of death, and his memories were still stuck on the monster.

How come when I woke up, the monster was gone, but an even more powerful enemy had appeared?
If that's the case, should I have just... killed that guy that day?

“Moreover, according to our people’s reports, this guy is tracking our research,” Zhong Shan said. “General Bo Chuan will be taking office in a month. I don’t care who this person is, we can’t let him hinder our plans. We must prove to General Bo Chuan that our drug is reliable.”

As he spoke, Zhong Shan tossed a file folder in front of Zhong Ji.

With trembling hands, Chung-ki opened the file bag and found his police superintendent promotion report inside.

"Considering you lost an arm, the General Headquarters still promoted you to Superintendent," Zhong Shan said calmly. "You can be considered a blessing in disguise for this useless fool."

Song Joong-ki clenched his fist.

“Use your connections at the police station to openly track down that guy, while I’ll take action in the shadows,” Zhong Shan said. “Don’t let me down again.”

After saying that, he left the ward.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Joong-ki slammed the file folder aside.

"Fuck you!"

……

Linchuan District, Xintiandi Health Products Factory.

Seeing Bai Chi return with a small white medicine bottle, Liu Li Hui couldn't help but ask, "What's this?"

"This is the main product promoted by this pharmaceutical company."

"What is it?"

"Miracle Oil and Power Pills"

Ruri was taken aback, feeling that the name sounded familiar. After thinking carefully, she remembered seeing it on a late-night channel—wasn't that what they did?!

Her face instantly turned red: "Why did you buy something like this?"

"It would be too suspicious if I went for a walk and didn't buy anything."

Bai Chi said casually, then looked up again at the pharmaceutical factory in front of him.

This was the secret pharmaceutical base of the New World Society that the captain had told him about, but now it seemed not so secret at all, even a little too openly so.

Either the captain was lying to him, or it was just a facade.

If he could, Bai Chi would love to go in and investigate in his knight form, but he knew that would be too dangerous. Who knew how many special beings were in this pharmaceutical factory?

Therefore, we still need to start from other aspects.

Bai Chi lowered his head, looking thoughtfully at the magic oil pill in his hand.

Liuli's gaze also fell on the small medicine bottle. She remembered the late-night advertisement for this miracle oil—making your partner unable to get out of bed.

Ruri's face turned even redder.

Honestly, the people of Nanluo are so depraved, developing this kind of rubbish every day; it's shameful to even look at.

Thankfully, Bai Chi is a normal person...

There was a "pop" sound.

Bai Chi opened the medicine bottle and threw one of the powerful pills into his mouth.

Ruri blinked, her expression gradually turning terrified.

What is he going to do?!
