About twenty minutes later, Ji Xiangsi walked out of the villa, feeling quite complicated.
As soon as she exited the villa, she saw the Gu siblings, one was making a fire and the other was watching a drama, so she didn’t go over but just stood at the door gazing from afar.
As for who she was watching, only she knew.
An hour and a half later, a loud boom ca from the yard, followed by billowing thick smoke rising up.
At that mont, Ji Xiangsi was on the phone.
The sudden boom startled her so much that she almost dropped her phone.
The person on the other end of the call imdiately asked, "What was that sound? Aren’t you in Yan City? Why does it sound like an explosion?"
Ji Xiangsi didn’t respond to him but gripped her phone and looked toward the source of the sound.
She saw thick black smoke rising in the yard.
Gu Zhiqi and Gu ngyang were both standing far away from the smoke.
Seeing that both of them were fine, Ji Xiangsi retracted her gaze, then said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Don’t forget what you promised to check for . Bye."
"But you haven’t told ..."
The rest of the words were cut off because Ji Xiangsi hung up.
After hanging up, Ji Xiangsi stuffed her phone into her pocket and walked over to the Gu siblings.
When Ji Xiangsi reached Gu Zhiqi, she saw that the place where the dicine was being refined had turned into a ss. She glanced sideways at Gu Zhiqi and tentatively asked, "Did it fail?"
Gu Zhiqi slightly turned her head, looking at Ji Xiangsi, starting to think about how to speak to her.
Seeing this, Ji Xiangsi only assud that she couldn’t speak because she was too upset over the failed refining, so she gently patted her on the head and comforted, "It’s okay, I’ll have soone send over more ingredients."
Gu Zhiqi: "...No need."
Ji Xiangsi: ?
Is she going to give up treating him?
Gu Zhiqi: "It didn’t fail."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiangsi paused and looked at the thick smoke, then at the devastated ground, "Are you... sure?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded, then said, "This dicine works best when it explodes."
Ji Xiangsi: ?
Are you sure?
Ji Xiangsi expressed skepticism, while Gu ngyang, who stood beside them, knew she was bluffing again. His mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing.
Just then, a voice ca from outside the villa, "Mr. Gu, is sothing going on here? I just heard what sounded like an explosion."
It turned out the loud boom had attracted the security guard.
Seeing this, Gu ngyang stepped toward the door to explain to the guard.

After explaining to the guard, Gu Zhiqi also dug out the refined pills from the pressure cooker fragnts.
Then the three of them entered the villa together.
Upon entering the villa, Gu Zhiqi first helped Ji Xiangsi form a contract with the Mirror Spirit, then gave her the refined dicine and also gave her a tube of ointnt.
Finally, she handed over an account number to Ji Xiangsi, "A total of 2,499,999 yuan, transfer the money."
Originally, Gu Zhiqi wanted to charge 2.5 million, but that number didn’t sound pleasing, so she decided to waive one yuan.
Ji Xiangsi, listening to the number, was montarily stunned, not imdiately processing what that number was. She was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and nodded, pulling out her phone to directly transfer 2.5 million to Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi looked at the transaction ssage and fell into contemplation.
Two seconds later, she lifted her head and looked at Ji Xiangsi with a deep gaze, "You sent an extra yuan."
Ji Xiangsi: "It’s only one yuan, no big deal."
Gu Zhiqi: "...It is a big deal, I don’t like that number."
Ji Xiangsi: "..."
