Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School

Chapter 2017

Chapter 2017: Yeah, I’m Sick

Seeing Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi approaching, Gu Ning had a chance, so she rolled down the window a little and focused on them, releasing magical power to freeze them.

Instantly, Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi felt the attack from the icy air, and immediately stiffened, but they didn’t feel anything wrong. It was already the end of October and the weather was starting to cool down, so they thought it was the cause of the cool breeze!

However, they soon felt it wasn’t right because they felt that their bodies were getting stiffer and it became difficult to walk. Besides, they also felt a gaze staring at them. They thought to themselves that something was terribly wrong and their faces turned pale.

The cold air quickly influenced their bodies. When they tried to turn to look at the person who stared at them, their limbs had already stiffened, so it was impossible for them to make a turn.

“What’s going on? Why do I feel so stiff?” Kato Toya was also surprised, and found that it had become difficult for him to speak as well.

“What? Do you feel it too? I have the same feeling.” Kuraki Akemi was astonished.

“What should we do now?” Kato Toya felt helpless all of a sudden. He had no idea what was happening. The only idea in his mind was that he had eaten something poisonous.

After that, they could barely stand, so they suddenly fell to the ground and Gu Ning withdrew her magical power.

Gu Ning only injured them moderately. They could be fine after resting for a month or two.

It actually depended on their own physical fitness and repair function. For ordinary people, it took more than a month or two, but they were ninjas. Their bodies were different from ordinary people, so they would probably recover quicker.

Anyway, within half a month, they could recover. By then, Gu Ning would already be back and she could handle the problems they would cause.

Once Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi fell, passers-by saw them and walked over to check their condition.

After knowing that their limbs stiffened and they couldn’t move at all, someone immediately called an ambulance for them.

Because they were only slightly injured, they were able to speak, but with difficulty.

After solving the problem, Gu Ning left.

However, right after Gu Ning left, Baili Zongyang walked by. Because the ambulance hadn’t come yet, he saw Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi and felt the magical power from their bodies, but the magical power was mixed with evilness.

Baili Zongyang figured that they must have offended the Evil Practice, so they were injured by evil magical power.

However, even though he understood that they were injured by cultivators, he had no intention of helping them. He wasn’t that helpful, and was unwilling to be dragged into trouble in the mortal world.

After all, they weren’t seriously injured and they would be fine after resting for a while. If their lives were in danger, Baili Zongyang might give them a helping hand.

However, as for the Evil Practice…

Upon thinking of the Evil Practice, Baili Zongyang frowned. No cultivator liked them in the cultivation world, and they would never let its members go once they met some.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t sense any air of the Evil Practice right now. Obviously, its member was already gone, so he couldn’t find them. As a result, Baili Zongyang decided to just leave.

Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi called the police when they were taken to the hospital. They were suspicious that there was harmful substance in the food provided by the restaurant, so the police took action to investigate it.

However, they found nothing harmful, because the other two people who dined with Kato Toya and Kuraki Akemi were fine. After an examination, Kuraki Akemi and Kato Toya were sure that they didn’t suffer from food poisoning. Besides, the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with their bodies or the reason why they suddenly stiffened.

Because the doctor had never seen such a condition before, they had no idea how to treat it.

Although the patients’ lives didn’t seem to be threatened currently, their bodies were really injured, so the hospital gathered many experts to study what the disease was.

…

After Gu Ning left, she went back to the siheyuan and nothing else happened.

When they got up early the next morning, Stone sent Shangguan Yang, Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao to the airport.

After arriving at the airport, they directly picked up the tickets for security check.

Because their valuable stuff was all stored in their magical space, Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao each carried only one bag.

After the security check was done, there was still 40 minutes before boarding, so they found a restaurant to have breakfast.

Although there was food on the plane, it was hardly enough for Shangguan Yang.

Because it was breakfast, they chose to have noodles. Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao each had a bowl, but Shangguan Yang alone ate 3 bowls, which scared the waitress. Other waiters also gave him a glance of surprise. Normally, old people ate less, but Shangguan Yang ate more than young people.

Nevertheless, Shangguan Yang couldn’t care less about it, because he was paying.

After having noodles and a rest, they went to the gate, where they sat for about 10 minutes before boarding.

Gu Ning booked seats in the first row. Shangguan Yang sat by the window, Gu Ning was in the middle, and Jing Yunyao sat next to the aisle.

It took 7 hours from the capital to City Ge, so all they could do was read, talk, or sleep.

It was already 5 pm when they got off the plane, and it would be time for dinner after they reached the city center.

They didn’t plan to stay in City Ge for the night, they planned to go straight to Kunlun Mountain. However, the plan could never account for all the changes.

The moment Gu Ning and the others walked into a restaurant, they met Jing Yunyao’s friend, the wife of the mayor of City Ge.

“Oh, hi, Shen Yao, you’re back!” The mayor’s wife was surprised and happy to see Jing Yunyao. She immediately walked to greet her, but her face looked very haggard and she had weak breath and little energy.

Seeing Shu Lihua, Jing Yunyao was excited as well, but felt upset once she clearly saw her face. “Lihua, you don’t look well. Are you sick?” she asked with concern.

Although she asked that question, she was already aware of the answer. She wasn’t a doctor, but she could see whether one was in good health.

“Yeah, I’m sick. I have mid-stage breast cancer,” Shu Lihua said. The joy of seeing Jing Yunyao disappeared from her face at once, then it was replaced with loneliness and sadness.

“What? The mid-stage of breast cancer?” Jing Yunyao was shocked after hearing that. “How’s the treatment now?”
