The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 660 - 622: Told Everything

Gu Yanjing went to the Sixth Hospital to see Yan An.

The five members of the Qiao Family went to the study upstairs.

In the study, there were only the Qiao Family members, and Qiao Yu and Chen Hui slowly came to their senses.

Chen Hui held Qiao Yuxian’s hand, comforting her and advising her to stay calm.

Qiao Yu, on the other hand, was silent, pacing back and forth in the study with an anxious and worried expression.

After finishing her conversation with Chen Hui, Qiao Yuxian looked at Qiao Yu and said, "Dad, why don’t you sit down for a while?"

"Can the Peace Pendant bring us the antidote?" Qiao Yu stopped his pacing and suddenly asked.

Chen Hui, who knew nothing about it, frowned slightly at his words. After a moment’s thought, she remembered the Peace Pendant that Qiao Yuxian always wore on her wrist and looked at it.

Qiao Zhiang sat in a chair, looking from his father to his mother.

Qiao Lechu reacted more calmly than the others because Qiao Yuxian had told her some things before. She just quietly listened from the side.

Qiao Yuxian was momentarily stunned, then glanced at the Peace Pendant on her wrist and smiled, "Dad, do you know something?"

"I don’t know. Your grandparents never told me anything," Qiao Yu replied, "but I’ve guessed a bit. There are people our grandparents didn’t want us to know about. I saw the Peace Pendant once when I was very young, and your grandmother treasured it. The next time I saw it, it was in your hands."

Qiao Yuxian touched the Peace Pendant.

Qiao Yu looked at the Peace Pendant and said, "You’ve always worn it on your wrist. I thought it was because you missed your grandmother. But last night, I thought about it all night. That item, which your grandmother cherished so much, was never taken out. For us, it’s not something to be emotionally attached to. Why are you wearing it after she passed away?"

Qiao Yuxian didn’t speak.

Although she hadn’t spent much time with Qiao Yu, she knew clearly that her father was very smart. Among the siblings, her father was much smarter than her uncle.

She always felt that if it weren’t for her aunt interfering, her uncle could be described as a "naive sweetheart."

Handsome, but a bit clueless.

"The cause of your grandfather’s death... wasn’t an illness, was it?" Qiao Yu asked slowly, his eyes moist.

Chen Hui was suddenly startled, feeling goosebumps all over her.

When Qiao Huaisong was hospitalized, all the doctors were trusted by Xi Wanqing. In the Qiao Family, only Qiao Yuxian knew that Qiao Huaisong had been poisoned.

Everyone else thought Qiao Huaisong was sick. That’s what the doctors told them too.

Qiao Yuxian’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she said nothing.

Qiao Yu asked again, "Was it also poison?"

Qiao Yuxian nodded in acknowledgment.

Chen Hui felt a chill run through her body, especially since Qiao Yuxian was also poisoned.

Qiao Yu was silent, slowly exhaling. Reflecting on many things now, there seemed to be clues all along.

"They want the Peace Pendant, and you want to lure them out," Qiao Yu frowned, "isn’t this bringing danger upon yourself?"

"They killed Grandpa and Grandma. Even at the cost of my life, I want them dead," Qiao Yuxian spoke softly because of her weakness. Her voice was flat and slow, without any inflection, yet it carried a chilling intent.

Qiao Zhiang was a bit frightened and moved closer to Qiao Lechu.

Chen Hui pursed her lips.

Qiao Yu’s frown slowly eased. He understood Qiao Yuxian; if it were him, he would do the same.

The study was quiet for a moment. Qiao Yu rubbed his temples and said, "Is there something else you want to tell us?"

Qiao Yuxian adjusted her clothes and looked at him, then said, "Dad, I promised Grandpa and Grandma that I would handle this matter and protect the family."

"But..." Qiao Yuxian lowered her gaze briefly, pausing with a hint of guilt, "this body of mine... I fear it won’t hold out much longer."

She had personally witnessed her grandfather suddenly succumb to the poison and pass away out of the blue.

Even though Yan Ting was on his way and the antidote he had was supposedly real, she was still afraid it might be too late.

Many things happen in an instant, let alone verifying whether the antidote is genuine. Once Yan Ting arrives, the medicine still needs to be studied and tested.

Moreover, she’s feeling that her body isn’t doing well.

She could clearly feel that her body was starting to malfunction.

"Don’t talk like that," Chen Hui didn’t want her to say such things. She hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Even if we can’t find the antidote, with modern medicine being so advanced, we can definitely develop it ourselves. Don’t say things like that."

Qiao Yuxian squeezed her hand back and smiled, "Auntie, I know. I’m just letting you all know."

Chen Hui looked at her, didn’t say anything more, just nodded.

"Don’t feel like you owe anyone," Qiao Yu began, "this is the Qiao Family’s problem. It shouldn’t be solely on your shoulders. I have long said that you are protecting everyone, and you owe no one anything. The entire Qiao Family should be grateful to you."

"Yes, sis, we’re not afraid," Qiao Lechu said softly, "we’re a family, and we can shoulder things together. If we don’t know something, we can learn. I don’t want to always hide behind you."

Qiao Zhiang nodded along, "Yes, I’m a quick learner."

Qiao Yuxian looked at Qiao Zhiang and smiled, then she told them everything.

About the past of Qiao Huaisong and Xi Wanqing, about Yao Mountain Island, about Qu Qingkong, and so on.

About her own forces in each continent over the years.

Many of which existed independently of Yao Mountain Island.

She also told them about the Nine Emperor Hall.

All the people she could truly trust, she shared with them.

She explained the situation of the Twelfth Floor as well.

And clarified the circumstances regarding Xi Mei, the dubbing studio, and Yunzhong Building.

This way, if she’s no longer around, Qiao Yu and the others would know which forces they could fully trust.

They’d know which forces could protect them, which ones they could rely on.

If she weren’t around, she believed Gu Yanjing would definitely catch Qu Qingkong. She didn’t need the Qiao Family to do anything; she just wanted her forces to continue protecting the Qiao Family.

The only secret she didn’t reveal was the real location of the Peace Pendant. She intended to keep it as a secret only she and Gu Yanjing knew.

Qiao Yuxian mustered her strength to speak a great deal, and her voice gradually grew weaker.

Several times, Chen Hui urged her to rest, saying she could speak slowly once rested, not to rush it.

But Qiao Yuxian insisted on saying everything.

She insisted on speaking, and Qiao Yu and Qiao Lechu carefully noted everything.

As Qiao Yuxian visibly became weaker, they were incredibly shocked by everything, yet they suppressed their shock to listen to her speak.

Everything was finally said, and Qiao Yuxian took out a USB drive from her pocket and handed it to Qiao Zhiang and Qiao Lechu.

Inside was a hacker tutorial she had compiled.

She didn’t tell them what it was, only saying that they could learn it if interested.

Both agreed, and after Qiao Zhiang took it, fearing he might lose it, he passed it to Qiao Lechu.

Having said everything that needed to be said, Qiao Yuxian went to rest.

Chen Hui and Qiao Lechu accompanied her back to the room.

Qiao Yu took Qiao Zhiang to the living room, where father and son sat on the sofa.

Qiao Zhiang sat obediently, not saying a word.

Qiao Yu mentally replayed everything Qiao Yuxian had shared with him.
