Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 421 Cloud Trails and Star River Boat Falls into a Cigarette Pit

Jiang Zaizhou came to visit Yun Jixing today. The two played games at home for a while before going out shopping. It wasn't until 10:30 p.m. that Yu Ru saw Yun Jixing. The man returned in an electric wheelchair, which was covered with shopping bags.

Yu Ru looked him up and down and found that he was dirty and smelled of dirt.

"Cloud Star, you stink." Yu Ru said bluntly.

Yun Jixing smiled awkwardly, "Aru, I'll go take a shower first and then talk to you." He stood up and said to the bodyguard behind him, "Put the things you bought in the living room first, just put them on the floor, and let Madam take a look."

"Yes, young master."

The bodyguards neatly placed the shopping bags on the ground. Yu Ru roughly counted them and found there were forty or fifty bags. Although she had seen Yun Jixing shop before, she still thought he was incredibly impressive every time she saw him. He really could buy a lot; no wonder he needed four bodyguards and two cars.

Half of the bags had luxury brand logos. Yu Ru randomly picked one open; inside was a dress, her size. She took it out, held it up in front of her, and looked at Shan Ci standing on the table, asking, "Does it look good?"

"Beautiful, beautiful, absolutely beautiful!" Shan Ci clapped his hands, applauding Yu Ru.

Yun Jixing took a shower but still felt a bit smelly. He raised his arm and sniffed, but couldn't smell anything. After thinking for a moment, he filled the tub with hot water again.

Just then, his cell phone, which was lying to the side, rang. He walked over to the shelf to check it; it was Jiang Zaizhou calling, so he answered.

"Little Star, have you finished your bath?" Jiang Zaizhou could also hear the sound of water.

"I'm washing it. I've washed it once, but it still smells a bit."

"Me too, I suspect we fell into a cesspool, it's covered in bird droppings. I looked in the mirror and saw some grayish-white stuff in my hair that I don't know what it was." As he spoke, Jiang Zaizhou vomited, "Yue~~yue~~"

Yun Jixing frowned slightly. "Little boat, I'll hang up now. Now that you mention it, I feel like throwing up too."

"it is good."

Yun Jixing recalled the day's events and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. He and Jiang Zaizhou were still in their recovery phase and shouldn't stand or walk for long periods, so they were using wheelchairs. After shopping, they saw a spacious park with no pedestrians, so they had a race to see whose wheelchair was the fastest. Then tragedy struck; after running a few hundred meters, they both fell into a pit. The pit was foul-smelling and probably actually contained excrement.

……

Yun Jixing took five showers to get rid of the strange smell. By the time he came out of the bathroom, Yu Ru was already asleep.

After a long day of playing, he was exhausted. After drying his hair, he quickly turned off the light, climbed into bed, and snuggled up to Yu Ru to rest. Just as he lay down, Yu Ru suddenly spoke up, "Did you fall into a cesspool today?"

"It must be. I was playing with the wheelchair with the little boat and then fell into the pit. There seemed to be a lot of bird droppings there." Yun Jixing hugged Yu Ru tightly and pressed his face against her head. "But don't worry, Aru, I washed it very clean."

"Oh. I'm going out tomorrow."

"Where to go?"

Yu Ru briefly recounted what she had done to Li Shuangshuang that day, and then said, "Zhang Jingxiang is still useful; he can only transfer his anger to me."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need, let Sister Shan and Yanzi come with me."

"it is good."

"Go to sleep," Yu Ru whispered.

"Goodnight." Yun Jixing propped himself up and kissed Yu Ru's cheek.

After a while, Yu Ru remembered that she hadn't mentioned what happened last night, and asked again, "Why did you come back so late last night?"

Yun Jixing was about to fall asleep when he heard Yu Ru's question. He perked up and replied, "I went to watch a play."

What play?

"Do you remember when Lan Youde needed an organ transplant? He hasn't had the transplant yet. They said his physical condition wasn't ideal, so they went to the Ling family's medical clinic and asked Grandpa Ling to oversee the organ transplant. That way, if something happened to Lan Youde, Grandpa Ling could use silver needles to seal his vital points and temporarily save his life. The Ling family didn't agree, so I stepped in to help them refuse. They were pestering me for a long time before they came back late."

"You said you'd changed it so long ago, and it's still not done?" Yu Ru, who had been facing away from Yun Jixing, turned over and hugged him face to face.

"His body is showing some abnormalities. It's said that he has some kind of unidentified hepatitis virus that has spread throughout his body. So before the organ transplant, we have to deal with the virus, which is quite troublesome. The doctors haven't figured out a way to isolate the virus yet."

"Oh." Yu Ru fell silent for a moment, then sighed, "Lan Youde is so tenacious."

Yun Jixing smiled and said, "Yes."

"Yunji Star." Yu Ru looked up, gazing at his face in the hazy darkness, and gently patted his head with a hand. "So many people died at Lan Youde's club, and as the owner, why hasn't anyone arrested him?"

"This is a difficult matter. We were supposed to arrest a group of people, but we couldn't continue halfway through. There are too many and the cases are too complicated. Look, those people led by Jiang Jianming haven't been arrested. They're dead and there's no way to verify anything. Many people would rather just close the case like this."

“Oh.” Yu Ru thought for a moment. “Before the clubhouse exploded, Lan Youde had an accident. Through the surveillance footage, I saw those people carrying him back to his villa. He didn’t come out for a long time. I guess he must have a biological laboratory with complete medical equipment there. Those high-ranking officials should share resources with him and go there for treatment when they are sick.”

“So he’s safe,” Yunjixing continued. “His biological laboratory is his lifeline.”

“He said he was going to find someone to mess with me, but nothing’s happened after all this time,” Yu Ru added. “He should be dying soon, he doesn’t have time for me. We didn’t have any direct conflict of interest anyway.”

"Yes, that's right. There wasn't any major conflict originally, so we could ignore it."

……

The day he was supposed to meet with Li Shuangshuang arrived quickly.

Li Shuangshuang arrived at the agreed-upon private room early and waited. Hearing the door open, she looked up. The person who entered was not Zhang Jingxiang, but a strange woman.

The woman before me carried a small, pleated, lake-blue bag with a gemstone chain over her shoulder and wore a light, hazy blue dress. The dress was entirely covered in three-dimensional floral lace in the same color scheme. The V-neck design showed off her slender neck, and the neckline and waist were adorned with delicate rhinestone piping. A few pearl-shaped buttons on the front added a touch of luxury. The sleeves were retro-style short puff sleeves, naturally voluminous from the lace fabric, sweet without being bulky. The waist was precisely cinched with a rhinestone ribbon, and the skirt flowed from the waistline into a fitted, hip-hugging fishtail midi silhouette, hugging her figure and outlining her graceful curves. The lace hem draped naturally to her calves.

From her hair to her toes, everything about her exuded an air of "expensive".

The woman who approached her stared intently at her; it seemed she hadn't come to the wrong place, and there were two other people with her. She instantly became alert, abruptly standing up and demanding, "Who are you?"

"Li Shuangshuang, don't you remember me?" Yu Ru smiled at her, slowly walking forward, her high heels lightly tapping on the floor, one tap after another, making people uneasy.
