"Who is Meimei?" He Yadong asked, full of suspicion.
"Uh, President He, Meimei is an intern newly recruited into our company's girl group department..."
As he said this, Xiao Meng's voice grew lower and lower, and he lowered his head, not daring to meet He Yadong's eyes.
He Yadong understood immediately that the so-called script reading was nonsense; they were having sex!
"How long have you been Wu Kun's assistant?"
"Two years!" Xiao Meng stammered, terrified that He Yadong would fire him.
"This is Dr. Ling. He needs to ask you some questions, and you must answer truthfully!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Meng nodded repeatedly like pounding garlic. Ling Tian smiled and began.
"Let me ask you, how is Wu Kun's health?"
"Brother Wu's health is excellent. I've never seen anyone as energetic as him. Sometimes he only sleeps two or three hours a day and never gets sick..."
"When was the last time he was sick?"
Ling Tian's sudden question made Xiao Meng pause, his gaze drifting.
"Well... since I became Brother Wu's assistant, he doesn't seem to have been sick. He only went to the hospital twice for routine company check-ups..."
"Heh, you're lying!" Ling Tian suddenly sneered. Xiao Meng panicked instantly.
"Slap!" He Yadong slammed the table.
"What, you're not listening to me anymore?
Do you have something shameful to hide, to cover up for Wu Kun?
Believe it or not, I'll have you pack your bags and leave immediately!"
As soon as He Yadong spoke, Xiao Meng completely panicked. He didn't want to lose his job as a celebrity assistant.
Although this line of work was hard and didn't pay much, there were plenty of side benefits.
He could get an autograph from Wu Kun and sell it for several thousand yuan.
He also revealed celebrity schedules to fan clubs, which earned him considerable kickbacks.
Furthermore, Wu Kun himself was very generous, taking Xiao Meng everywhere they went and often giving him red envelopes.
Losing this job would be a huge loss, so he immediately started pleading.
"No, no... I didn't mean to, I just didn't remember!"
Ling Tian chuckled, "I can tell if you're deliberately hiding something. I'll give you another chance, tell me the truth!
Don't worry, this matter will stay between us. As long as you don't talk about it, we won't reveal it, and Wu Kun will never know about it!"
Xiao Meng's legs were trembling. However, he didn't know Ling Tian and whether he kept his word. He continued to look at He Yadong pleadingly.
"Just do as he says. Remember, this is your last chance!" He Yadong threatened.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Wu Kun was last sick over a year ago, around June last year...
At that time, his back ached, his body felt weak, and he often broke out in a cold sweat..."
Ling Tian smiled. These symptoms were typical of kidney deficiency.
"How was it treated, and where was it treated?"
"We went to a bar for drinks, and someone introduced us to a miracle doctor. He gave Wu Kun a pill..."
"What kind of pill was it?" Ling Tian asked curiously.
"It was about the size of a grape, like a large honey pill in traditional Chinese medicine.
And it's true, after taking it for two or three days, Wu Kun's back pain disappeared, and he became energetic..."
"Did Wu Kun have any other abnormal symptoms?" Ling Tian pressed.
"His appetite became very large. Other celebrities envied this; he wouldn't gain weight even if he ate a lot.
Also..." At this point, Xiao Meng started to stammer.
"If you have something to say, say it! If you have gas, let it out!" He Yadong glared again.
"After taking that medicine, Wu Kun's desire in that regard seemed to become extremely strong..."
Ling Tian nodded. This was normal. The marching gu stimulated the pituitary gland to secrete a large amount of hormones, including sex hormones.
Coupled with Wu Kun's inherently bad character, this stimulation would naturally turn him into a stud.
"Right, do you remember what the person who provided Wu Kun with that pill looked like?" Ling Tian asked.
Xiao Meng nodded, then shook his head.
"It's been a long time, and my memory isn't very clear, but if I met him again, I should be able to recognize him."
Ling Tian took out his phone and brought up a photo, which he had obtained from Bai Haotian.
It was a screenshot of the Gu King at a nightclub with Bai Haotian when they were in Jiangshan City.
"Take a look, is it this person!"
Xiao Meng took the phone and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, it's him! It's him. This person's personality and demeanor were very strange, no doubt about it!"
"And who invited you at the time that you met this person?"
"It was a gathering of young masters from Beijing. They were all children of important figures, wealthy and noble..."
"Then take a look at this photo!"
Ling Tian brought up Gao Gongzi's photo. Xiao Meng took the phone and frowned.
"This person seemed to be there too, but I really can't remember clearly..."
Ling Tian observed Xiao Meng using his Qi-gazing technique and found that he wasn't lying, so he let it go.
However, from Xiao Meng's words, Ling Tian had already confirmed that the Gu King was likely in Beijing. He speculated that this fellow might be hiding under the protection of that Gao Gongzi.
Ling Tian had asked enough and couldn't extract any more useful clues. He signaled to He Yadong.
"Alright, Xiao Meng, you can go back. Regarding tonight's events..."
"President He, please rest assured, nothing happened tonight!" Xiao Meng was very clever and patted his chest to guarantee it.
"Remember your words, don't mention this to anyone, not even your family. Otherwise, you might lose more than just your job," He Yadong threatened.
"Yes, yes, President He, I understand. Please rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut!"
Xiao Meng left, and He Yadong anxiously asked, "So, Ling Tian, do you think Wu Kun's condition is related to the pill he took?"
"Yes, very much so!"
"Do you have any suggestions?"
"Me? I'm not part of your circle, so it might be inappropriate for me to say this."
"It's alright. Ling Tian, I know you're not an ordinary person. Ordinary people wouldn't have the energy to rescue Yueyue.
I need your advice!"
Although Ling Tian hadn't known He Yadong for long, he could feel that He Yadong was a straightforward person. He acted decisively and without pretense, and Ling Tian felt a connection with him.
