Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 371 The Trouble Caused by the Elixir_1

"A misunderstanding?" Shangguan You sneered, looking at Zhuge Ao, who had failed to extract any answers, his face showing nothing but dismay."Truly unlucky. Not a single useful clue was obtained." Zhuge Ao and Shen Po exchanged glances and spoke in grim tones. They had originally thought there would be a connection between the You Family Pharmacy chain and Old Meihua, but after much questioning, they concluded with nothing.

However, one thing was certain: the recipes for both the pharmaceuticals and beauty products of the You Family Pharmacy were given by Old Meihua, who had disappeared after receiving a large sum of money.

Now, even if they found someone with even the slightest relationship to Old Meihua, it would be of no use.

In a corner, Zhuge Yang and Shen Po were muttering curses under their breath, every single word clearly reaching her ears.

"Junior Brother, you can’t deal with that Shangguan You just yet."

"Why? That damned girl made me suffer a loss, and the poison inside me hasn’t subsided yet. Even if you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t kill her yet, but I won’t let her have an easy time."

Hearing the two men’s conversation, the corners of Shangguan You’s lips curled up. "Mr. Shen, do you really have the time for this? I believe my lawyer should have already been in touch with you by now?"

Shangguan You’s indifferent words made the warm smile on Shen Cheng’s lips stiffen. He had come with the intention of getting Shangguan You to drop the compensation claim.

"Miss Shangguan, that incident was a mistake on the part of our staff, but you must believe me," Shen Cheng quickly began to explain.

"Mr. Shen, that is an internal problem of the Shen Family, not related to me. All I know is that you are the ones who broke the contract. Everything I do is according to the contract," Shangguan You interrupted with a smile, not letting Shen Cheng argue his point. The thirty percent share of the Shen Family’s business was hers, and this was just the beginning.

"You little wretch! Having lost the Water Spirit Bead, it’s time we settled our accounts!" Zhuge Ao’s bellowing voice filled the air as he lunged at Shangguan You.

"Junior Brother, she is Chengcheng’s friend. You can’t treat her like this." Shen Po stood in front of Shangguan You, restraining the approaching Zhuge Ao.

"Grandfather Ao, Miss Shangguan is my friend. Please, for my sake, you can’t treat her this way." Shen Cheng placed Shangguan You behind him for protection.

Seeing the two people standing before her, Shangguan You’s lips slightly curled into a smirk as a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Girl, need my help? I’ll take one month off the debt." The cold voice sounded in her ear again—that persistent and annoying Ye Family heir.

"Don’t forget our original agreement," Shangguan You retorted coldly. She could easily imagine the Ye Family heir lounging somewhere in the house, legs crossed, enjoying the drama.

"Senior Brother, Chengcheng, it’s not that I don’t give you face, but this girl..." Zhuge Ao sneered. He still hadn’t managed to expel the poison that had made him vomit blood last time, and it was all her fault.

"Thank you both for your kind intentions," Shangguan You said coolly, turning to Zhuge Ao. "However, Mr. Zhuge Ao, have you forgotten the pain once the scar heals? The poison in your body isn’t cured. Besides me, no one in this world can cure it. Are you sure you want to attack? Aren’t you afraid I might add a few more poisons to your body, leaving you unable to even speak?"

Shangguan You stood up, swept past Shen Cheng, and walked up to Zhuge Yang, looking at him with a sneer.

"You little wretch, hand over the antidote right now, or you won’t leave here alive today!" Zhuge Ao shouted furiously, shoving Shen Po aside.

"If you want the antidote, we can make a trade," Shangguan You offered. "If you meet my demands, not only will I give you the antidote, but I can also heal your internal injuries. How about it?"

Shangguan You’s eyes faintly swept across Zhuge Ao, a cold smile on her lips. Meanwhile, Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan had regained consciousness. They looked at the composed Shangguan You, then at the fiercely agitated Zhuge Ao and the others, utterly confused. What exactly is going on here?

"What kind of trade do you want to make?" Zhuge Ao shouted angrily.

"I want to know where Zhuge Feng is," Shangguan You’s cool voice interjected. "Just tell me his whereabouts, and I’ll give you the antidote. Otherwise, in an hour, you’ll be in agony once again."

"You poisoned us?" Shen Po shouted, quickly swallowing a Medicinal Pill and tossing a few to the people around him.

"Hmph, so what if I did? You’re so foolish. Your medicine is useless. If you don’t believe me, you can try it," Shangguan You laughed coldly, and the expressions of Zhuge Ao and the others changed suddenly. They thought they were in control, but once again, they had fallen into her trap.

Zhuge Ao’s eyes, filled with fury, coldly fixed on Shangguan You, wishing he could bore holes through her with his gaze.

"How do you have poison on you?" Shen Po asked through gritted teeth.. A simple search for a formula, find the corresponding medicinal herbs... and you ask me such a simple question? You’re old. Since you’re old, you should just go home and retire peacefully instead of coming out and making a fool of yourselves."

As she finished speaking, she clearly heard Zhuge Ao grinding his teeth.

"You wretched girl, where did you learn all these peculiar things? What’s your relationship with Old Meihua?" Sect Leader Zhuge Ao shouted angrily. The two people he hated most in the world were Old Meihua and Shangguan You, and his hatred for Shangguan You ran even deeper.

He, the Sect Leader of the Inferno Sect, had been bested by a young girl, and his proudest disciple had also been bested by Shangguan You.

"You wretched girl, where did you learn all these peculiar things? What’s your relationship with Old Meihua?" Zhuge Ao shouted angrily again. The two people he hated most in the world were Old Meihua and Shangguan You, and his hatred for Shangguan You was even deeper.

As Sect Leader of the Inferno Sect, to be bested by a young girl was intolerable, especially as his proudest disciple had also been bested by Shangguan You. How could he not hate her and feel infuriated by this?

Being bested by Old Meihua was somewhat tolerable to him; after all, both his master and a Senior Elder had also fallen to Old Meihua’s hands. But being bested by Shangguan You was unbearable. It only fueled his growing hatred, and had it not been the wrong time to move against the Shangguan Family, he would have already wiped them out completely.
