Chapter 490 Megan's Suspicion
After the treatment, Chloe felt a warm current spreading throughout her body, an indescribable comfort washing over her.
Larry continued inserting needles.
He inserted seven or eight needles in succession.
After those needles, his Qi was completely drained.
And some of the toxins in Chloe's body had been forced out.
However, he could only use a limited number of the Against Heaven 81 Needles, which wasn't enough to force out all the toxins from Chloe's body.
"Chloe, wait here. I'll go downstairs to get some silver needles."
"Okay."
Chloe lay on the sofa.
She already felt much better now, not as uncomfortable as before.
Larry quickly left, went to get some silver needles, then came back and closed the office door before beginning the acupuncture treatment to expel the poison from Chloe.
In just a few minutes, all the toxins in Chloe's body were completely removed.
She had also regained her strength and picked up her clothes to dress herself.
Larry scolded her: "Why were you so reckless? I told you not to act rashly. If I had arrived a few minutes later, the poison would have killed you."
"I, I didn't think it through. I thought I could control the poison in my body and expel it. But when I was trying to expel it, my Qi scattered, the toxins lost control and spread throughout my body. I panicked a bit, and then completely lost control of the toxins."
Chloe lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Larry didn't blame her too much.
Fortunately, she was okay.
"Don't be so reckless next time. You won't be this lucky every time."
"Okay."
Chloe responded softly.
"By the way, do you actually know where Abigail is?" Larry asked again.
The current situation was very unfavorable for him.
And he didn't have the talent for running a company, couldn't step up to control PaxGen Pharmaceuticals. This required Abigail to come forward.
Chloe lowered her head, a hint of disappointment in her expression.
She hadn't expected Larry to still be thinking about Abigail.
She also knew about the current situation at PaxGen Pharmaceuticals. With such a big problem, they definitely needed someone capable to take charge of the situation.
She looked up at Larry with determination on her face and said: "Honey, I can do it too. My abilities are no worse than Abigail's. As long as you give me a chance, I'll definitely help you manage PaxGen Pharmaceuticals well."
"Chloe, this is not a joke."
Larry took a deep breath and said: "There's no time for you to practice now, no time for you to grow. We can't make mistakes right now. One wrong decision and everything will fall apart. The consequences would be serious. I hope you can recognize the current situation and stop being childish."
"I'm not."
"Then tell me where Abigail is, go bring her back. She built PaxGen Pharmaceuticals from scratch. PaxGen Pharmaceuticals can't do without her, and Sue has limited abilities, she can't fully control PaxGen Pharmaceuticals." Larry said seriously, word by word.
Chloe fell silent.
She really didn't want Abigail to come back right now.
She really wanted to help Larry.
But Larry didn't trust her.
Larry reached out, placed his hands on Chloe's shoulders, looked at her face, and said: "Chloe, you've been with your grandfather for so long, you should know about what happened a hundred years ago, what VitaGen Medical's real purpose is. They want to carry out the plan that wasn't completed a hundred years ago, using Gu to control the whole world. Do you know how serious the consequences would be?"
Chloe had indeed heard Richard mention some of this.
"I really don't know where Abigail and Trinity are. Let me ask the guardian of the Cabinet Room, and I'll give you an answer tonight, okay?" Chloe looked at Larry and said.
"Okay, fine."
Larry took a deep breath.
He knew Chloe definitely knew where Abigail was. Her saying this now was just giving herself an excuse.
"What about Silvermoon Apothecary? Although I won against Cormac this time, he said the competition isn't over yet." Chloe's face showed worry.
Larry's expression darkened. "These people are really troublesome. If there's no other way, I'll have to eliminate them secretly."
"Honey, what are you planning to do?" Chloe's face changed slightly, and she reminded him: "So many people are watching you now. If you make a move, they'll definitely catch you. That would be trouble. Leave this to me. I'll have the Cabinet Room people act secretly and quietly get rid of Cormac and the others."
"You don't need to worry about this."
Larry shook his head slightly.
Chloe was a woman, and he didn't want a woman involved in such bloody matters.
"But..."
"No buts, leave it to me." Larry spoke in a commanding tone.
"Alright." Chloe looked helpless.
Larry still didn't trust her.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Larry couldn't help but explain: "Chloe, it's not that I don't trust you, and I'm not questioning your current abilities. It's just that you're a woman, and I don't want you involved in this. If you really want to help me, then go find Abigail and bring her back to me."
With Larry's explanation, much of the resentment in Chloe's heart dissipated.
She nodded and said softly: "I'll try my best."
"Good. I still need to figure out how to get money to fight against VitaGen Medical, so I won't stay long. If Cormac and the others come looking for trouble again, just ignore them for now. Even if you have to close the clinic, don't get into conflict with them. I'll handle this as soon as possible."
Chloe reminded him: "Honey, be careful. I heard from Grandpa about what happened a hundred years ago. Gu raising persons are very dangerous. A hundred years ago, even the Four Great Families didn't dare to directly confront Gu raising persons."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Larry patted Chloe's shoulder.
"I'm heading back now."
Chloe said goodbye to Larry and left.
Larry didn't stay long at the Global Nexus Group clinic either. He left again, heading to PaxGen Pharmaceuticals to wait for Alden's arrival.
Once Alden arrived, he could make a deal with him.
Exchange cultivation methods for the wealth Alden had accumulated over the first half of his life.
This way PaxGen Pharmaceuticals could get through this crisis.
Meanwhile.
At VitaGen Medical.
Although Megan was stationed here, she knew everything about what was happening on Medical Street.
She sat in her office chair with her legs crossed, her fair long legs exposed. Her fingers lightly tapped on the desk.
"Chloe took poison but was completely fine. Could she have also cultivated Qi and be a Martial practices grandmaster who can use Qi to control toxins?"
Megan muttered to herself.
This was the only conclusion she could see.
Then she stood up and left the office.
She would personally meet with Chloe and test her to see if she had actually cultivated Qi.
If she really had, things would get complicated.
She was clear about Larry's background.
Larry had only recently cultivated Qi. If Chloe also had Qi, it definitely wasn't taught by Larry. There might be someone else behind Chloe.
She couldn't guess these things for now.
She needed to test Chloe to make a judgment.
After leaving Medical Street, Chloe returned to the Lewis family.
All along the way, she kept thinking about whether or not she should bring Abigail back.
"Chloe..."
Just then, a voice came from behind her.
Chloe snapped back to reality and turned around.
As she turned, a pair of fair hands came striking toward her. Her expression changed, and in her urgency, she quickly raised her hands to block.
