Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 453: Then Devote Yourself to Me (Part 9)

After Gu Lingqian left, Xia Yinian returned to the bedside, originally intending to pick up the medical book and continue reading.

But her heart was still unsettled, and she thought it best to walk to the floor-to-ceiling window, open it, and step out on the balcony.

The sea had already started to become restless, gradually showing signs of wind and waves.

They said that there might be a thunderstorm tonight. She wondered if it was true. The day had been fine.

There was nobody swimming in the sea now, but there were a few rescue boats searching. It seemed they hadn’t found anything yet.

Xia Yinian looked carefully, and on the rescue boats she could see, there was no sign of Gu Lingqian or... Gu Beicheng.

As Gu Lingqian had said, only professionals went down to search.

It was always best to leave these things to the professionals, after all, they had received targeted training.

A bolt of lightning flashed in the distance, looking still far away, but it was normal for a girl Xia Yinian’s age to fear lightning.

So, she hurried back in from the balcony, closed both floor-to-ceiling windows, and drew the curtains without much thought.

Back on the bed, she continued to read the book when suddenly, it seemed like she saw something that made her furrow her brow.

Perfume chemistry, it turns out, could be used to create a variety of scents, which could serve certain purposes.

She sat up and read that section closely.

The introduction wasn’t very detailed since it was a beginner’s book, meant only to give a superficial understanding and to show that such a thing existed.

To look into it specifically, it seems she would have to go back to Ling Mu’s office and browse through his bookshelves.

However, a few lines here caught Xia Yinian’s full attention.

Most of the fragrances made from various chemicals are used to... increase desire... interest!

Suddenly, something leaped in her mind; she thought hard, and thought again, then her eyes widened in shock.

That night, when she and Gu Lingqian almost... and then, when Gu Beicheng caught them, the night Gu Beicheng took her back and forced himself on her!

At that time, didn’t the maid bring up a bottle of fresh flowers along with the supper?

She hadn’t thought much of it at the time and hadn’t paid attention to what kind of flowers they were, but she did notice the fragrance was unusually strong.

Much more intense than that of ordinary flowers.

But at that moment, neither she nor Gu Lingqian had paid any mind.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the fragrance?

That night, she had every reason to believe that they had indeed been drugged.

However, the focus at the time was all on the supper, and no one had suspected the flowers the maid brought.

What if, the drug was indeed placed on the fresh flowers, and she and Gu Lingqian had inhaled it?

But why, when Gu Beicheng and Gu Feimo opened the door, did they immediately come to their senses?

After thinking for a long time, she couldn’t help herself and dialed a certain number.

The other party didn’t answer.

Xia Yinian pondered for a moment, then sent him a text message directly: I’m Nian Nian, not a stranger promoting sales, answer the phone.

Thinking to give him some time to see the message before calling him again.

Unexpectedly, less than ten seconds after the message was sent, her phone started to ring.

"Master." Holding the phone to her ear, Xia Yinian suddenly became nervous, her breathing erratic.

"Master, you are an Alchemy Master, can you tell me if it’s possible to create some... some drugs that add desire... and make them like floral scents, so that when people smell the flowers, they... get impulsive?"
