Chapter 111: Let Him Go Crazy for a While
Wei Yuan exchanged eight thousand yuan for the additives that Xu Feng had mixed into three types of drugs from the Young Man. At this moment, Wei Yuan's ability to identify various drugs was still at a beginner level.
Fortunately, he had Yang Ying at home. This girl was a direct disciple of the previous Purple Robe Marquis and had grown up surrounded by medicinal scents. For her, identifying drugs was as easy as pie.
Thinking about having Yang Ying as his ally, Wei Yuan quickly drove to the Lan Family to return the Blue Old Man's vehicle. He then declined the old man's kind offer, hailed a taxi, and rushed back to his rented apartment. He hurriedly took the drug additives upstairs and knocked on Yang Ying's door, clearly excited and knocking vigorously.
"Knock knock knock."
The loud knocking instantly woke Yang Ying inside. Although she had been half-awake and unable to sleep, every time she closed her eyes, she recalled the scene of hiding with Wei Yuan in that narrow alley to evade Shen Qingyi's disciples.
Due to the cramped hiding place, their bodies had to press closely against each other. The embrace forced by the environment, combined with Wei Yuan's masculine scent and his reactions when he was impulsive, made Yang Ying's heart race at the thought of that enchanting scene.
Although her personality leaned towards being boyish—mainly due to growing up among boys and needing to practice martial arts—she remained psychologically conservative. Just like how Wei Yuan always saw her bundled up tightly.
However, true allure cannot be concealed. When Yang Ying opened the door for Wei Yuan, she was wearing a set of pajamas with a thick outer coat over it. Yet, when Wei Yuan saw her again, he felt unsettled, as if she possessed an innate charm that penetrated deep into his bones.
"Is there something you need?" Yang Ying asked awkwardly.
At that moment, all of Wei Yuan's attention quickly shifted to the drug additives from Xu Feng. He pulled Yang Ying into the living room and placed the three types of additives he had bought for eight thousand yuan on the table.
After checking around, he noticed that all the curtains in the living room were wide open. Under such circumstances, Yuan Ziyi's people would surely be able to see what was happening here; however, it didn't matter—Wei Yuan wanted them to know.
"Can you help me check what these substances are made of?"
Hearing Wei Yuan's words, Yang Ying looked confused. "Where did you get these from?"
This question was difficult for Wei Yuan to explain clearly at that moment. However, Yang Ying was very understanding and considerate.
Seeing Wei Yuan hesitating to speak, she could tell he was reluctant to bring it up. Upon noticing his demeanor, Yang Ying suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of concern and tenderness towards him.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Let me take a look."
Yang Ying immediately avoided the topic and opened three jars containing drug additives, then began to examine them carefully. During this process, Wei Yuan was unable to help, so he paced back and forth in the living room, his eyes fixed on the situation across the floor. However, Yuan Ziyi's people seemed very cautious, and Wei Yuan had thought of many ways but could not find those who were watching him.
"These three are all the same substance; they just have different forms."
After a few minutes, Wei Yuan heard Yang Ying confidently reach this conclusion. He then compared the three jars himself, but from their appearance, it was indeed difficult to tell they were the same substance. For example, the jar that contained particles resembling sand was likely added to various powders, while the one that had mostly turned into powder was probably used in liquid form, and the slightly larger particles were likely meant for capsules.
"Can you tell what kind of substance it is?"
This was the question Wei Yuan was most concerned about. He had imagined various possibilities regarding Xu Feng's drug additives, but it still needed to be tested.
"Surprisingly, it's Poppy Powder," Yang Ying suddenly exclaimed in shock.
As soon as Wei Yuan heard the word "poppy," he knew these were definitely not good things. He continued to ask, "What is Poppy Powder?"
Yang Ying took a moment to collect herself and explained, "This substance cannot be found on the market; in fact, it is absolutely prohibited from being sold because its components have effects similar to stimulants. Those who consume it can experience a euphoric sensation in a short period of time, but after several consecutive uses, it leads to addiction and is very difficult to quit."
"This is a product that one of our Elder Pharmacists at Purple Robe Pavilion inadvertently created by mixing two chaotic substances. Poppy Powder is also our internal term for it; that Elder Pharmacist died after consuming too much Poppy Powder."
Wei Yuan immediately realized: "So the person who knows how to use this drug additive must be from Purple Robe Pavilion or at least related to them?"
Yang Ying nodded and said, "That's right. However, Senior Sister has now fully entered the business world and her business is growing larger; she wouldn't be interested in the profits from Poppy Powder anymore, would she?"
Wei Yuan had not discussed his matters with Yuan Ziyi, and since Yuan Ziyi hoped to cooperate with him against Xu Feng, it indicated that Xu Feng should belong to Shen Qingyi's faction. As for whether he himself was from Purple Robe Pavilion, Wei Yuan needed to continue investigating.
"Do you know Xu Feng?"
"Of course I know him, but he doesn't count as one of the Purple Robe Pavilion," Yang Ying said.
Wei Yuan replied, "If he isn't one of the Purple Robe Pavilion, then why does he have Poppy Powder in his hands?"
"He is Shen Qingyi's son-in-law. Although he isn't part of the Purple Robe Pavilion, the connections are intricate and cannot be easily severed. Are you saying that all these Poppy Powder additives are the doing of Xu Feng?"
At this point, Wei Yuan had no intention of hiding anything from Yang Ying. After hearing her words, Wei Yuan nodded in affirmation. However, upon realizing that Xu Feng was Shen Qingyi's son-in-law, he understood why Yuan Ziyi had temporarily stopped him from dealing with Xu Feng. It wasn't difficult to confront Xu Feng, but now he was completely tied to Shen Qingyi's faction. If he were to deal with Xu Feng, he would have to find the right opportunity to take down the entire force behind him, which was Shen Qingyi's group.
Looking at Wei Yuan, who sat on the sofa in a daze, Yang Ying said nothing more and quietly walked into the kitchen. Earlier in the afternoon, she had already prepared a pot of ginseng black chicken soup. Now, she served a bowl and placed it in front of Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan was still lost in thought, accurately trying to piece together the sequence of events. Finally, he managed to clarify a line of reasoning: Xu Feng obtained Poppy Powder through Shen Qingyi and then acquired a large quantity of drugs from various processing factories, using different forms of Poppy Powder as additives in various medications. What was his next move?
The answer Wei Yuan could think of was to leverage those chain pharmacies to start selling these drugs laced with Poppy Powder. As more and more people consumed these medications, once they all became addicted, Xu Feng could raise prices and profit immensely from stable sales.
This was his usual method, and this time it was even more cunning; perhaps he had already found a scapegoat.
While Wei Yuan was still contemplating these matters, his phone suddenly rang. He saw it was an unfamiliar number and answered it to hear a familiar voice: "You know everything now, right?"
The call was from Yuan Ziyi. Wei Yuan responded, "Is this why you didn't want me to deal with Xu Feng?"
Yuan Ziyi said, "It's not that I don't want you to; it's just not the right time yet. Let him go wild for a bit. Wait for me downstairs in ten minutes; we'll meet then."
Ten minutes later, Wei Yuan decisively chose to head downstairs. He was eager to hear what plans Yuan Ziyi had. At that moment, he noticed a blue Lamborghini pull up beside him. The person inside pushed open the car door; it opened differently than usual cars—like the wings of a bird spreading out.
Inside this top-tier sports car sat an exquisite beauty, especially striking in her elegant blue evening gown. Her hair was styled atop her head like a queen's crown entwined with jewels; her face glowed like the evening sky while her eyes sparkled like cold stars, dazzling enough to make one hesitant to look directly at her.
In an instant, she captured all of Wei Yuan's attention as if she had become the only highlight in the darkness.
She seemed ready to attend some gala but had no driver; instead, she was driving herself. Upon seeing Wei Yuan, she waved her hand and stepped back from the driver's seat, handing over control to him while saying, "Get in; you drive."
"Are you planning to make me your driver?"
Yuan Ziyi's lips curved slightly, and with an elegant demeanor, she said, "You will definitely get in the car, won't you?"
Wei Yuan indeed did as she said without a second thought. He started the Lamborghini; this top-tier sports car was the ultimate expression of a man who loved cars. Combined with the unique scent of perfume inside and the alluring fragrance of the beauty beside him, it was intoxicating. Wei Yuan thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.
Under Yuan Ziyi's guidance, Wei Yuan gradually drove to a commercial building. This was the tallest building in Jinghai City, with the lower floors housing the city's most upscale shopping mall, famous for its globally renowned luxury brands. The prices were jaw-droppingly expensive; even those known as high-income earners could only afford to shop here once or twice a year.
Above the mall were office spaces, along with several high-end clubs, cafes, and beauty salons. Notably, there was a fitness center reputed to hire foreign trainers, known for its high fees and an abundance of beautiful women inside. Many wealthy young people frequented this gym, although most were primarily interested in meeting the various beauties who came here.
Although Wei Yuan had some money now, he still held onto a rural mindset and felt that shopping here was somewhat extravagant. So he asked, "What are we doing here?"
"To help you dress up a bit. With your current appearance, how can you face anyone?"
