Xia Zhe was in the bathroom for a long time. He stood under the showerhead and took a cold shower. As he thought about the intelligence agent and what was left of the dead body in the end, he felt a little uneasy. He felt that major changes were afoot and that he must send Qiao Mei back as soon as possible. Sky City was not safe now.

About an hour and a half later, Xia Zhe came out of the bathroom, his body all cold. Qiao Mei was worried that he would catch a cold, so she went to the kitchen to make ginger tea for him. She only felt at ease after watching him drink it with her own eyes. He lay on the bed and hugged her tightly without saying anything.

“What’s wrong? You’ve been preoccupied since you got home. Tell me about it,” Qiao Mei said gently.

“It’s nothing. I just feel… I can’t bear to part with you…” Xia Zhe said in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

“I’ll still be here for a few more days and won’t leave you so soon. If you really can’t bear to part with me, then make full use of the time and accompany me for the next few days,” Qiao Mei said with a smile as she hugged Xia Zhe’s arm.

“There are likely going to be major changes in Sky City soon. I want to send you back tomorrow,” Xia Zhe said sternly.

Qiao Mei sat up and stared at Xia Zhe as she asked, “Really? Then what about you? Will you be in danger?”

“I.. I don’t know, but I’ll do my best to protect myself. Don’t worry,” Xia Zhe said.

“Where’s the medicine I gave you? Do you still have it with you?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Zhe shook his head. He had already drunk it when he was in danger the last time. He only had the 100-year-old medicinal wine with him now. The 10,000-year-old medicinal wine was long gone.

Qiao Mei immediately put on her coat and went to the side room. Her luggage was here, but more importantly, there was a flower pot on the windowsill of this side room. Qiao Mei locked the door and planted a ginseng seed in the soil before quickly exchanging energy with it. It did not take long for her to grow five 10,000-year-old ginsengs. Qiao Mei extracted their essence and condensed it into a small pill.

This was also a new skill that Qiao Mei had picked up. The liquid ginseng essence took up too much s.p.a.ce and was not as convenient as such small pills.

Qiao Mei returned to the master bedroom and handed the small pill to Xia Zhe. “This is a small pill that Grandfather recently developed. It has the same effect as our medicinal wine. Keep it with you and eat it immediately when you encounter danger. It will work slower than the medicinal wine, but the subsequent effects are definitely much better than the medicinal wine.”

“Alright, I’ve noted it down,” Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Mei always had so much good stuff which could save him and his family members. Xia Zhe was sometimes very curious about how Qiao Qiang knew how to make medicine, but no matter how he thought about it, he could not think of an answer, so he chose to ignore it.

The two of them hugged each other and did not speak. For the entire night, they just hugged each other tightly and did not do anything else. Qiao Mei only packed her luggage in the afternoon and prepared to leave. This time, Xia Zhe did not keep even one bodyguard by his side. He gave all four bodyguards to Qiao Mei.

On the way back, Qiao Mei kept feeling fl.u.s.tered. For some reason, she kept feeling that Xia Zhe would not be able to return this time. The premonition was very strong…

Tonight, Yang Jiao had sent an invitation to all the prominent people in Sky City, but the owner of the Sky Hotel did not turn up. He had never partic.i.p.ated in such activities. Yang Jiao had also invited Jack and Bella, but Bella hated such pretentious occasions, so Jack went alone with bodyguards who were trained by her.

“Everyone, thank you for coming today! Let me propose a toast to all of you! I wish all of us great prosperity ahead! And a long and healthy life!” Yang Jiao stood on the stairs and yelled out to the people below.

Everyone raised their gla.s.ses and drank the wine. Xia Zhe could tell that there was something wrong with the wine. He pretended to drink it and then spat it all out on the napkin.

Not long after, everyone started to stagger around and many people fainted. Xia Zhe also pretended to be unconscious and slumped at one side.

“Hmph, what a bunch of useless things. It’s so easy for me to drug all of them! Looks like it’s better for me to take control of Sky City!” Yang Jiao looked at the people below smugly, as if all the haphazard figures on the floor below made up a work of art and it was his masterpiece.

“That’s right, Father. Sky City is a piece of treasure and must return to the hands of the person who can make full use of it,” Yang Jiu said with a smile.

“Among all my children, you know me best!” Yang Jiao said with satisfaction..
