Chapter 97 I Found a Treasure
Three minutester, Lulu, quite the branch in Ang''s bicycle wheel, picked up a sheet with Ang''s
form on it. "What''s with all the small writing?"
"It''s my form, duh."
"What form?"
"... The form to stop people talking."
Lulu quit her tongue-in-cheek provocations. It would be most unwise to antagonize Ang.
After half an hour''s silence, Lulu eximed: "But, Ang, my brother said you should not touch those
things!"
Ang looked back at Lulu, then turned to look at the bottles on the shelf. She had already used them!
"Well, just pretend you''ve seen nothing."
"What''s in it for me?"
"I will teach you what you wanna learn."
"Wow, great!" Lulu leapt for joy.
"Phone my brother, " Ang told Lulu, "and ask him what the difference betweenpound acid B and
"Phone him yourself." Lulu didn''t want to change her clothes again.
"If I go, you will have nothing to do here." reasoned Ang.
Lulu puzzled over it but eventually found it agreeable.
She took Ang''s cellphone and found Sven''s number. She called him up and engaged in some small
talk before Lulu cut to the chase. "Ang wants to ask you about the difference betweenpound
acid B andpound phenol acid A."
"Remember, " cautioned Sven, pound acid B can hurt people''s vocal cords. Compound phenol
acid A can be made into a narcotic."
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Sven." Although Lulu was a bit self-righteous, she knew how to sound polite
and formal.
She returned to theb. "Sven told me that... what''s the name of it?"
"Compound acid B, " said Ang. "What is it used for?"
Lulu seemed confused but did her best to ry the message as she had heard it. "Oh, yes. That is... a
narcotic."
"What aboutpound phenol acid A?"
"It can hurt people''s vocal cords, " Lulu said with confidence.
"Good."
Ang added a few drops ofpound acid A into the serum.
The sky gradually turned dark. Four hours passed, and by the end of the experimentation, Lulu saw
Ang''s colorless vials lined up in a rack.
By Ang''s ount, if such drugs were put into the water and drunk by a person, he or she would lose
their voice for about one year.
And Ang would use them to do something.
What she would do? After her wound had healed, everyone would know.
In the evening, Lulu had her dinner at Shengfeng Mansion. She kept asking Ang a lot of questions
when the dinner was about ready.
Not until two dishes had been served on the table did Ang, who had lost her patience, stop Lulu,
saying, "No talking while eating."
Lule answered, "You sound like my brother."
Ang did not reply-- Even she was surprised to hear herself say this proverb.
Arvin arrived home after eleven when Ang was researching all kinds of chemical bonds on her
phone. She would take down some notes when she found somethingplex or confusing.
"Burning the midnight oil?" Arvin put his coat, which was decorated with Tahitian pearls, on the rack. He
stood behind Ang''s back, and wrapped his arms around her.
Tickled by Arvin''s warm breath, Ang giggled, and said, "There''s something I don''t understand, and
I''m hoping you can help me out, Mr Expert."
"No disasters this afternoon?" he said. Someone woulde to install CCTV tomorrow, but for now he
would have to take her word for it.
"Of course not, " Ang replied congenially. "And I put had put everything back in position."
"Hmm. So what''s the problem? I''ll do my best." Arvin gently pulled her chair away, sat on it himself to
allow Ang to sit on hisp, while he wrapped his left arm around her waist.
Ang took up her notebook and phone. "Is this Chinese herb called tiao-ling? Where does it grow?
And what is its effect?"
"Yes it''s tiao-ling. It usually grows by rivers in dense forests. It can relieve pain and reduce anxiety."
She had more questions, and within twenty minutes, Arvin had solved everything for her.
Ang closed her notebook and gave Arvin a loud kiss on the cheek. "I found a treasure, didn''t I?"
"I found one too, " Arvin smiled.
"Hee hee...How is Nancy? Have you kept an eye on Nancy for me?"
"Sure I have, " Arvin replied. Later, Ang, who was in the wash room, asked, "Is she getting better?"
"She''s been very stable. The only thing she needs is a rest. But..." Thest word made Ang
nervous. She looked into Arvin''s serious eyes, and Arvin continued, "The knife...came into contact with
her uterus, so... it might be difficult for her to get pregnant."
"What?" Ang came unstuck at once, as if the knife had entered her stomach instead.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
She held Arvin''s hands tightly. "What can be done? My Big Wing, you must help Nancy!"
Arvin patted her hand. "I''ll do an operation tomorrow, and get some Chinese herbs for her recuperation.
Complete recovery is impossible, but we can still increase her chance to conception."
"Well, Big Wing, you must help Nancy. If you can cure her, I will listen to everything you said." Ang
was willing to devote herself entirely to Arvin if he helped Nancy.
Arvin didn''t fully understand her. But her words made him sigh. "But if you''ll just listen!"
Ang could say that she would listen, but Arvin was not convinced that she would.
Ang realized how much fuss she was making, and lowered her head. She said, "I''m serious."
"Well, I have an idea. Grandma is in the Green Cold Country recently. After shees back, we can
discuss everything."
Ang was so excited that she sped Arvin on the neck and kissed him wildly.
Arvin lifted her up to his chest. He carried her to the bedroom andy her t against the sheets. "Are
you really so grateful to me?"
"Yes!" Ang nodded vehemently.
"Reward me with your body." When saying this, the man''s eyes were hard with passion.
Ang nodded again. She was thinking the same thing as Arvin.
Seeing her agree without hesitation, Arvin sealed her lips with kisses.
Ang wrapped her arms around his neck and responded with fervor.
... The moment was toe. Ang buried herself in the quilt. Arvin leaped off the bed to take a
shower.
Ang grabbed his hands. Arvin looked back to the red-cheeked girl.
Ang dared not to look at him. "I..." she said bashfully. "I will..."
The two words almost made Arvin crazy.
