After Gu Lingqian left, Xia Yinian returned to the bedside, originally intending to pick up the dical 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 beco 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 seed 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 seed like she saw sothing that made her furrow her brow.
Perfu 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, ant 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, sothing 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 ti, didn’t the maid bring up a bottle of fresh flowers along with the supper?
She hadn’t thought much of it at the ti 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 mont, neither she nor Gu Lingqian had paid any mind.
Could it be that there was sothing wrong with the fragrance?
That night, she had every reason to believe that they had indeed been drugged.
However, the focus at the ti 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 imdiately co to their senses?
After thinking for a long ti, she couldn’t help herself and dialed a certain number.
The other party didn’t answer.
Xia Yinian pondered for a mont, then sent him a text ssage directly: I’m Nian Nian, not a stranger promoting sales, answer the phone.
Thinking to give him so ti to see the ssage before calling him again.
Unexpectedly, less than ten seconds after the ssage was sent, her phone started to ring.
"Master." Holding the phone to her ear, Xia Yinian suddenly beca nervous, her breathing erratic.
"Master, you are an Alchemy Master, can you tell if it’s possible to create so... so drugs that add desire... and make them like floral scents, so that when people sll the flowers, they... get impulsive?"
