Chapter 735 Hidden Insect!
Now is not the time to catch the mole; we need to heal Qin Yimo first.
“Mr. Fang, will my cousin be alright?” Qin Lang asked nervously.
“I’m not certain yet, but she should recover,” Fang Yu said.
As he spoke, Fang Yu placed his right hand on Qin Yimo’s forehead again, his palm emitting a white light.
A warm, pure stream of true qi entered Qin Yimo’s body.
The true qi reached Qin Yimo’s neck, slowly repairing the damage there.
In reality, the damage wasn’t severe; the capillaries in her neck had simply been drained of blood.
As long as the black energy adhering to her flesh was forced out or cleared away, blood circulation would resume, and her condition would improve.
Qin Lang stood nearby, anxiously watching Fang Yu and then glancing at Qin Yimo.
“Don’t worry, the problem isn’t serious,” Fang Yu turned his head and said to Qin Lang.
Hearing this, Qin Lang let out a long sigh of relief.
Qin Wudao had just passed away, and if something happened to Qin Yimo too, losing two of his closest relatives in a single day would surely devastate him.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu was already contemplating how to remove the black energy adhering to Qin Yimo’s neck.
Since the black energy was in Qin Yimo’s neck, Fang Yu couldn’t experiment carelessly.
He needed to first understand what this black energy was, then find a way to eliminate it.
Judging from how the black energy retreated from Fang Yu’s true qi and clung to the flesh to avoid being forced out, it seemed to possess some intelligence.
It could sense danger and respond accordingly.
“Could this not be some kind of gas, but a living organism!?”
With this thought, Fang Yu immediately activated his Eye of Insight.
Red light flashed in his pupils, changing his vision.
In this enhanced vision, Fang Yu could magnify his sight to the extreme, clearly seeing every particle within the black energy!
Soon, Fang Yu made a discovery.
It wasn’t gas at all, but living organisms!
This black energy was actually a large swarm of tiny black insects clustered together!
Their size, even in Fang Yu’s enhanced vision, appeared extremely small.
But Fang Yu could clearly see that each insect’s body was slightly wriggling.
“Was that entire cloud of black mist made up of these insects?” At this thought, a flash of surprise crossed Fang Yu’s eyes.
For such tiny insects to form that large cloud of black mist, there must be millions or tens of millions of them.
Fang Yu once knew a professional insect breeder who cultivated over a thousand species of insects, several of which were this microscopic type.
The smallest of these insects couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. Only when gathered in large numbers, forming a dark shadow, could their presence be detected.
This type of insect was called the Hidden Insect.
But at that time, Fang Yu had only learned about them briefly and hadn’t observed the Hidden Insects closely.
Therefore, he didn’t know whether the Hidden Insects and the insects in Qin Yimo’s body were the same species.
He had met that insect breeder forty years ago.
“If nothing unexpected happened, the insect breeder should still be alive. Could these insects be his work?” Fang Yu frowned slightly, pondering, “But I remember most of his insects were beneficial. He also once said he bred insects only out of interest…”
Fang Yu didn’t dwell on this further.
Where the insects came from could be investigated later.
The most important thing now was to eliminate all these insects.
“Since they’re insects, let’s use the simplest, most direct method to destroy them.”
Fang Yu decided to use true qi to kill these insects.
This wasn’t a particularly difficult operation.
…
Several kilometers away from the Qin family mansion, on a plain, sat a car.
The cabin light was on inside the vehicle.
Two men sat facing each other in the back seat.
One man wore a suit, while the other was dressed in mourning clothes.
“How is the situation progressing?” the man in the suit asked.
“Very smoothly. Although the poisonous mist was quickly dispersed, plenty must have entered her body,” the man in mourning clothes replied.
“Good. I hired an expert at a high price; his poison formation won’t fail,” the suited man nodded and said.
As he spoke, the suited man raised his left hand and checked the time on his watch.
It was now 10:40 PM.
“Where is she now?” the suited man asked.
“She was taken away by Qin Lang and another man called Fang Yu. They probably went to our Qin family’s treasure chamber,” the man in mourning clothes said.
“Treasure chamber… hehe, it seems Qin Lang still believes his cousin can be saved,” the suited man laughed coldly and said, “Since things are progressing smoothly, send people to find her quickly.”
“Before midnight, her corpse must be placed in your family’s mourning hall, so all the Qin family members know she’s dead!”
“As for who inherits the family head position afterward, I’ve already arranged it. It will definitely fall to you.”
“I… understand,” the man in mourning clothes lowered his head and said.
At this point, the suited man raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s wrong? You sound somewhat reluctant?”
“…She is my niece after all, I watched her grow up…” the man in mourning clothes said softly.
“Can’t be helped. Who told your old man to pass the family head position to her?” the suited man said with a cold smile, spreading his hands, “If the position had directly gone to you, then Qin Yimo wouldn’t need to die, and everyone would be happy.”
“Besides, I gave Qin Yimo a chance before, but she ignored me and even gave me attitude… so she has only herself to blame.”
“So, all the blame lies with Qin Yimo and your deceased old man. You shouldn’t feel guilty at all.”
The suited man reached out and patted the shoulder of the man in mourning clothes.
“I understand. I will handle this matter properly,” the man in mourning clothes raised his head and said.
“Good. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. By tomorrow morning, news of you becoming the new Qin family head will spread throughout North City. I’ll bring my collection of fine wines to congratulate you then,” the suited man smiled.
“Thank you, Young Master Tang,” the man in mourning clothes cupped his hands in respect and got out of the car.
Soon, the car drove away.
The man in mourning clothes stood motionless for several seconds, muttering to himself: “Old man, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You forced me to do this!”
…
“Done,” Fang Yu stood up.
He had used two streams of true qi to slowly force the insects to cluster together.
Afterward, the two streams merged, leaving the insects with no space to survive, and they were destroyed by Fang Yu’s true qi.
“Mr. Fang, when will my sister wake up?” Qin Lang asked.
“Soon, not long now,” Fang Yu said.
“Good,” Qin Lang replied.
“Qin Lang, who do you think… would target your sister tonight?” Fang Yu asked.
Hearing this question, Qin Lang was stunned.
Actually, he had been pondering this question since he first saw Qin Yimo’s condition.
But the possible answers to this question made his heart race with fear, and he dared not investigate further.
Now, faced with Fang Yu’s question, he could no longer avoid it and replied: “I think… someone who wants to compete for the family head position would target my cousin.”
“Why do you say that? Hasn’t your cousin been at risk of assassination all year?” Fang Yu asked, “If they wanted to kill her, they wouldn’t necessarily choose such a sensitive time as tonight. Mr. Qin just passed away.”
Qin Lang was momentarily confused, then realized Fang Yu was referring to Qin Wudao as “Mr. Qin.”
But being familiar with Fang Yu, he didn’t dwell on this term and said, “Lawyer Chen mentioned earlier that the will takes effect after midnight tonight… which means after midnight, my cousin will officially become the Qin family head.”
“Then even if they wait until after your cousin becomes the family head to make their move, they could still get the position when Qin Yimo dies,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
“No, grandfather established a family rule before. If the current family head dies unexpectedly without designating a successor… then the position passes to the closest blood relative,” Qin Lang said, “In other words, if they act after my cousin officially becomes the family head, the position would pass to Second Uncle. It wouldn’t go to them…”
“Oh, so your family has such a rule. Now I understand,” Fang Yu nodded and said.
