Beast World: The Villain Baby Is Not Conforming to the System!-Chapter 276: Doesn’t Want to Rot in the Zhou Family

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Doesn’t Want to Rot in the Zhou Family

Hernans’s mother is a relatively strong-willed female, but now, due to injury, her face is pale, adding a certain fragility to her demeanor.

"Mother..." Hernans introduced Yu Manman and Puslin’s identities and repeated to his mother what Yu Manman had just told him.

His mother’s gaze was cold, and she murmured, "No wonder."

"I think I know who is behind the traditional medicine."

She currently supports another royal female member, but there is also another royal female as a key contender for power, backed by the Rob family.

"I did find her somewhat strange; it turns out she’s been controlled..." Hernans’s mother was referring to the candidate supported by the Rob family.

She explained the situation to Yu Manman and Puslin, revealing everything about the Rob family.

"Did the Rob family only rise in recent years?" Puslin asked.

"Yes," Hernans’s mother replied.

Puslin nodded.

It has become apparent to them these days that the Hilo family seems to prefer staying in the background, then supporting some families to act openly.

For example, the apparent owner of the Rose Manor, or Shen Ying’s father’s farm, the Wolz family, and possibly even the company that previously tried to scheme against Song Chen.

Puslin then discussed many plans with Hernans’s mother, mentioning that as long as they followed the plan, everything should proceed smoothly.

Finally, Puslin added, "We haven’t developed an antidote yet, so you all should be careful to avoid getting caught."

They screened everyone and found that not many people in Flower Country were under control; some were designed to be, yet others were greed-driven, overreaching and bringing it upon themselves. However, regardless, they didn’t have a better solution at the moment.

"Thank you."

They finished discussing the matters in Glacier Country, exchanged contact information, and soon hung up.

Shortly after, Yu Manman brought up that she needed to go to the Zhou family.

Puslin pursed his lips, feeling uneasy.

"Dad, rest assured! They won’t do anything to me for now, and, besides, don’t I have means of self-defense?"

Since they had all been drugged by her, the Hilo family was likely trying to control her to get control over her fathers. As such, they probably wouldn’t make any overt moves against her for now.

Moreover, she had the system and the things it provided her with!

Puslin knew this but still couldn’t feel at ease. However, he also realized that once Yu Manman decided on something, she wouldn’t change her mind easily.

"Take Ackman and Shang Yu with you." They were now Manman’s fiancés, so it was only natural for them to accompany her.

"Okay! Dad, don’t worry, I’m not a reckless person!"

Yu Manman then asked, "Dad, how are things on Wolz’s side?"

She had only heard that Yao Sheng had already blended in with a new look but didn’t know the specifics.

"There have been some updates." Puslin looked at his daughter helplessly, "Don’t worry too much; we are all here."

Even if the sky falls, they are there. Puslin only wishes for his daughter to live a carefree life.

"Alright." Yu Manman asked no more, starting to prepare for Yingyue’s engagement party.

She hoped she could find out more secrets at the Zhou family!

Soon, the engagement party approached.

Wu Yingyue invited Yu Manman, bringing her to the Zhou family.

"Manman, remember to stick with me, don’t wander off, and don’t stray too far! If you have to leave, remember to tell me, and don’t leave alone!" Wu Yingyue advised repeatedly.

Before coming to the Zhou family, Manman had already asked her for detailed information about the Zhou family and inquired about Uncle Zhou Na. She knew Manman actually wanted to dig out some secrets while she was at it, but she was worried something might happen to Manman at the Zhou family!

"Yes, don’t worry. Do you see those people behind me?"

Yu Manman glanced back at Shang Yu and Ackman, who were like her protectors.

Then, Yu Manman went off to a quiet place to look around, wanting to observe her surroundings.

A gaze seemed to fall upon her.

Yu Manman turned her head to see Zhou Yanfeng’s harmless smile.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Yanfeng."

Yu Manman did not sense any hostility from him, so she nodded, "I’m Yu Manman, a friend of Yingyue."

"I know." Zhou Yanfeng smiled, "I’ve heard of you, heard that your mother’s husband is a doctor."

"When Yingyue came home last time, I saw her taking some kind of medicine that didn’t seem to be from our Zhou family."

Yu Manman looked at him, "What are you talking about? I don’t know."

"Don’t worry, I haven’t told anyone about this." Zhou Yanfeng said bluntly, "My health is poor, but my sense of smell is sharper than a wolfhound’s. I’m very certain the medicine Yingyue is taking isn’t from the Zhou family."

Zhou Yanfeng smiled, "I’m weak, I just want to find a doctor to check up on me."

[My health has been deteriorating steadily; at this rate, I’ll end up dying because of the Genetic Enhancement Medicine!]

Zhou Yanfeng’s body was wrecked by the Genetic Enhancement Medicine. Some people took the medicine, and their bodies appeared better, but actually, most, like him, did not achieve what they expected, instead their health got progressively worse.

But he did experience some evolution, though it was only in his sense of smell, which was fairly useless.

If it were anyone else, they’d have been discarded long ago. But being a part of the Zhou family, with a sharp mind, secretly working for the Zhou Family and the Hilo family, he managed to barely hang on.

But once he started taking this medicine, there was no stopping; if he did, his health would only worsen. So far, there is no solution—or rather, they didn’t care enough to develop an antidote, otherwise, how could there be no solution after all these years?

Zhou Yanfeng moved closer to Yu Manman, "You should know Yingyue’s medical condition, right? Well, I’m just like her."

"I know, you want to oppose the Zhou Family and the Hilo family, and if you help me, I can help you. I know a lot of their secrets..."

He just wanted to survive.

Zhou Yanfeng was observant; as a fellow ’Trial Drug Taker’ like Wu Yingyue, he knew Wu Yingyue’s situation very well, perhaps better than the Zhou Family members themselves, and noticed she seemed to have become somewhat different.

He wanted to live, not decay within the Zhou family.

Even if the Zhou family prospers in the future, so what? He doesn’t care about wealth and glory because they mean nothing to a dying man like him!

Yu Manman exchanged her Mind Reading Technique with the system and could clearly hear Zhou Yanfeng’s thoughts.

But she still didn’t truly trust Zhou Yanfeng.

Since he could betray the Zhou family, he could naturally betray her as well. Why should she trust Zhou Yanfeng?

Yu Manman picked up a drink, dropped a small pill into it in front of Zhou Yanfeng, and then handed it to him.

[Poison?]

Yu Manman smiled, indeed it was poison.

Zhou Yanfeng just looked at the drink, then drank it without hesitation.
