Chapter 1240: No One Dared to Say Anything

Mo Yongheng did not look at the silver box at all and continued to keep his gaze fixated on Tan Bengbeng.

He knitted his eyebrows slightly when he saw her disappointed look.

He seemed to be hesitating over something.

As he took two steps forward, he switched to speak in a gentler tone and said, “You wouldn’t vomit if you were fine, and the color on your face did not seem right either. A doctor would not heal herself, but I can examine you if you trust me…”

“How did you know that I am a doctor?” Tan Bengbeng lifted her head up with a whoosh when she heard what he said.

She stared at him with a focused gaze.

For a moment, Mo Yongheng thought that she had realized something.

His lips quivered and he wanted to speak, yet he wasn’t sure of what to say.

Qi Yan, who was standing by the side, did not understand why they were playing the silent game. When he saw that Tan Bengbeng was actually staring fixedly at Mo Yongheng with an enchanted look, he felt so anxious that he was only short of instructing his men to drag Mo Yongheng out!

He reached out to adjust Tan Bengbeng’s face and only allowed her to look at him. Then, he replied on Mo Yongheng’s behalf.

“Your background is really easy to find; as long as he looked into what you did in City H, he would be able to know that you had once worked in a hospital. If you’re not a doctor, could you be an assassin then?”

“…”

Just like this?

So, she had read too much into it.

Tan Bengbeng lowered her gaze in disappointment.

Mo Yongheng heaved a sigh of relief.

However, the look of worry beneath his eyes remained and he still wanted to check her pulse.

Qi Yan blocked the way without a second word.

“Forget it! With me around, Bengbeng will not need anyone else to check her pulse!”

Did he really think that his title as the “King of Medicine” was fake?

Getting into fights was his side occupation, but Mo Yongheng could not even beat him to it. Furthermore, they are talking about medicine, something he was most proficient at.

“In that case, this meant that you knew the reason behind Bengbeng’s retching?” Mo Yongheng narrowed his gaze and looked at Qi Yan.

A hint of suspicion flashed past his eyes.

Stunned, Qi Yan let out a slight cough and said, “Of course I know, but why do I have to tell you about it?”

“Then don’t stop me from checking her pulse.” Mo Yongheng bypassed Qi Yan and walked to Tan Bengbeng.

Before he could lay a finger on her, Qi Yan had already squeezed his way forward and stood in the middle of the both of them.

“I forbid you from touching her!”

“Get lost!”

Mo Yongheng’s gaze darkened.

It seemed as if the two of them would start a fight if they had another disagreement.

Tan Bengbeng had no energy to stop them and only reassured Mo Yongheng, “I am fine, perhaps it was due to my seasickness. It happened the previous time as well, I’ll be fine after I take some rest.”

“The previous time? How long have you been retching?”

Mo Yongheng’s eyes narrowed!

A dangerous look appeared beneath his eyes. It was a murderous gaze.

Tan Bengbeng did not know why he was so angry and replied subconsciously, “It’s only happened twice, perhaps it was because I was seasick and p*ssed off at the same time.”

The two men had a tacit mutual understanding as to whoever had p*ssed her off.

No one dared to say anything.

However, Mo Yongheng was, at this moment, thinking about another matter instead…

He remembered very clearly that she was not prone to seasickness. How could she vomit because she was seasick?

He felt that something was amiss.

However, Qi Yan kept on stopping him, while Tan Bengbeng was only polite toward him and did not trust him.

If he persisted in checking her pulse, anyone who saw what he did would definitely suspect him for having an ulterior motive.

Forget it if others thought of him as such a person, but he did not want her to see him in a bad light.

It was unlikely that Qi Yan would allow anything to happen to her judging from his anxious look.

He would let things slip today and settle scores with him another day!

“The elderly head’s antidote is in the box, and they are split into two kinds.” Tan Bengbeng instructed the bodyguards to open up the silver box when she saw that he was no longer angry.

Apart from pills, there was also an entire row of blue-colored syringes in the box.
