Chapter 743: 603 Death of ng Qingxue, Evil Doctor Takes Command [1 Update]_2
No longer was there the power to stand side-by-side with the Foo Family and the An Family.
ng Xiong had soone send ng Qingxue into the old ancestral hall of the ng Family before he left.
In the evening, ng Qingxue woke from her pain.
She didn’t even have the strength to eat.
That was when the sound of footsteps rang out.
ng Qingxue struggled to lift her head and saw a person.
“Senior?” she asked, sowhat astonished, her voice as thin as a wisp, “Are you here to save ?”
From a young age, she knew how to behave to win the favor of elders.
Just be sensible, well-behaved, and able to cry.
That’s why the elders in the Ancient dicine fields all liked her.
The person didn’t speak, simply walked over, and then broke the shackles on her body.
“Thank you, Senior.” ng Qingxue freed herself from the chains and relaxed her body.
She knew she had blessings upon her and wouldn’t die so easily.
ng Qingxue tugged at the person’s clothes, weakly speaking, “Could you please help get out? I need a few herbs. Once I’ve recovered, I’ll definitely repay you.”
Hearing this, the person slowly squatted down and raised their hand.
ng Qingxue hadn’t yet revealed a smile.
In the next second, the hand moved with the speed of lightning and fiercely grasped her throat.
Tightly clutching it, then lifting her up.
ng Qingxue’s eyes instantly widened, and she uttered a cry of extre pain, but soon her vocal cords were sealed.
Blood dripped drop by drop from the corner of her mouth, a shocking sight,
The killer deliberately eased their strength, then slowly let go bit by bit.
Such a way to die was pure torture.
Just before dying, ng Qingxue realized that she had encountered an evil doctor.
Given this person’s standing, even if they were not the leader of the evil doctors, they were certainly a high-ranking official within the dark practice.
Too bad she couldn’t say anything anymore.
ng Qingxue lay on the ground, eyes still open, but without any sound.
The door was opened and then closed again.
The old ancestral hall was silent, where even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
But the outside guards were entirely oblivious to the surroundings, still on strict defense.

The next day.
Imperial Capital University.
Ying Zijin, after taking her dicine, went to the laboratory.
Her body had just recovered and indeed was not very agile yet.
Ordinary Combat was no problem, but when it ca to a confrontation with ancient martial artists, she was still slightly lacking.
Fu Yunshen had sent her out of the Ancient dical field to recuperate in the capital for a few days.
Then Ying Zijin received a series of alarming calls from Zuo Li.
Indeed, she hadn’t attended school for over a month.
Fighting people was tiring. She’d do a few experints for fun.
“Classmate Ying, you’ve finally co,” Zuo Li said as if seeing a family mber, pointing at his head, “Look, I’m going bald waiting for you.”
Ying Zijin: “…”
She calmly took out her phone and showed the paynt QR code on WeChat.
Zuo Li choked, “No, no, no, I an, it’s been tough waiting for you, looking out until my eyes sore.”
His family still had over a dozen boxes of hair growth shampoo, which would take an age to use up.
“What’s up?” Ying Zijin put on the lab gloves and sat down at the table, “Is there another money-making competition?”
“Classmate Ying, that’s not right, how can life be just about money?” Zuo Li’s mouth twitched, “Didn’t I tell you at the end of last sester that I submitted your paper to an organization in O continent that specializes in celestial research?”
“They replied to in mid-March, saying that your paper is very innovative and they are planning to reserve a cover spot for you in the May issue of the science journal, and give you a feature column!”
Getting on the cover with her first paper indeed was amazing.
Ying Zijin said “Oh” and nodded.
So, no money then.
What does this have to do with her.
So boring.
Ying Zijin lowered her head, opened the experintal equipnt, and entered the password.
Zuo Li, frustrated by the girl’s attitude that “only money could move her,” could only continue, “Honor! This is about honor! Classmate Ying, after the journal publishes, you’ll be able to get an honorary title.”
“Do you know how old the last person who got an honor of this level was? Twenty-five, and you’re only nineteen. You can apply for the world record now. Once this honorary title is conferred, the president said he’ll grant you a professorship out of sequence.”
Ying Zijin stopped and finally showed so interest, “Is there a prize for setting a world record?”
Zuo Li: “…”
It was impossible to continue the conversation.
He completely stopped talking and walked out.
Outside the laboratory, Zuo Li made another call to Chen Junxian, the president of Imperial Capital University: “Yes, that’s right, President. When the May issue of the journal cos out, we must hold a big inauguration ceremony for Classmate Ying.”
“Yes, the Celestial Body Institution Center also said that, based on Classmate Ying’s paper, they have a new understanding of parallel universe research.”
Zuo Li couldn’t help but sigh.
If the universe could continue to be expanded and developed, this would be a major advancent for human technological society.

anwhile, at another location.
The ng Family.
At noon, the butler went to deliver food to ng Qingxue.
After he handed ng Xiong’s Hand Command to the guard, he pushed the door open and entered.
As he walked in, the butler began, “Miss Qingxue, here is your al today, you—”
His words suddenly stopped.
The butler looked at the stiff, ice-cold body on the floor, his expression filled with horror.
His throat tightened as he cautiously stepped forward, testing ng Qingxue’s breath.
It was no more.
ng Qingxue was dead!
The butler could hardly believe his own eyes; an uncontrollable fear gripped his heart: “Soone! Quick, soone!”
That’s when the guards rushed in, and they too were stunned by the scene before them.
In the front hall, ng Xiong was still preparing the funeral arrangents for other mbers of the ng Family.
Suddenly, he saw the butler rush in flustered.
ng Xiong frowned, “What’s the matter? Didn’t I tell you to deliver the food? Don’t go soft on her; how many sches has she pulled off?”
“No, it’s not that! Ancestor, you said, you wondered if Miss Qingxue might have connections with the evil doctor, but since she wouldn’t talk, we locked her up.” The butler knelt down with a thud, “And you instructed us to guard her strictly.”
“Yes, that’s true.” ng Xiong imdiately stood up, “Was she rescued by the evil doctor?”
“No,” the butler bitterly smiled, “Just as you predicted, the evil doctor indeed ca, but not to rescue anyone. They killed Miss Qingxue!”
ng Xiong’s expression drastically changed, “The evil doctor—was anyone seen? Any clues to who it might have been?”
“I am incompetent; I did not notice any disturbances.” The butler’s head bowed even lower, his voice trembling, “The next day when I went in to deliver the food as you instructed, I found Miss Qingxue’s body already stiff. The guards did not notice anyone entering.”
“Preliminary calculations suggest she had been dead for over twelve hours!”
That ant shortly after ng Qingxue was confined to the old ancestral hall, the evil doctor had silently entered and killed her.
The butler continued, “Her neck had a fatal wound, and she had been drained of blood. It’s possible that her blood was taken for dicinal purposes!”
ng Xiong couldn’t help but take a few steps back, collapsing into a chair.
It was still his own kin who had been brutally murdered; he simply couldn’t accept it.
Again, the evil doctor!
The root of all these calamities was the evil doctor.
ng Xiong took a deep breath, “Are you certain you saw nothing? Not even a trace?”
“There is a trace.” The butler’s hands trembled as he took out a Token, “This was sothing Miss Qingxue was clutching tightly in her hand. We deduced it was grabbed from the evil doctor’s clothing during the murder.”
“Her grip was so tight, we had to forcefully pry open her hand to retrieve it.”
ng Xiong took a look at it.
The Token was specially made, with less than ten people in the Ancient dical field possessing such a token.
It served as a pass for the younger generation among the major powers, a symbol of both strength and status.
There was a single character engraved on it.
Ying.
