Teleportations — I Wanna Be An Online Celebrity

Chapter 226 Getting Hold of the Antidote

“You two…” The fat woman’s eyes were opened wide as she stared at Tang Xia in disbelief.

She struggled while she turned her head back, trying to press the alarm. However, once her body moved a little, she passed out completely and fell onto the floor. She had lost her consciousness.

“Professor? Professor?” La Chapelle tried to call out. She then gently kicked the body twice. Upon seeing that the fat woman did not respond, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Did she pass out?”

Tang Xia asked La Chapelle while the hand holding onto the wrench was still trembling slightly.

“Hmm…” La Chapelle nodded and lifted her hand to wipe out the sweat on her forehead. Although she had seemed extremely calm earlier, her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xia threw the wrench aside and her tense body finally relaxed.

However, even though they had taken care of the fat woman, their troubles had yet to end. Tang Xia looked at the fat woman on the ground and asked a little hesitantly, “Now what?”

La Chapelle was more familiar with the situation at hand than her. Hence, Tang Xia subconsciously turned to La Chapelle and asked for her opinion.

La Chapelle made a low humming sound before answering, “We have to hide her first. We must move fast.”

The fat woman had said that the rest of them had gone to give medicine to the maids and they did not know what time they would be back. They definitely could not let them find her body.

Tang Xia nodded. La Chapelle found a hemp rope in the utility room and tied up the hands and feet of the fat woman. She also stuffed her mouth with a piece of cloth. That way, even if she were to wake up, she would not be able to alert the others.

Then, the duo dragged her into the cabinet and closed the door. Even if the others came back, they would not know immediately that something had happened.

“The antidote that can help the maids recover their consciousness is here. I’ve seen it once. It’s a green bottle. Let’s look for it separately.”

La Chapelle spoke to Tang Xia after finishing everything. They had limited time, so they had to make use of every second. After Tang Xia responded, the duo split up to start searching.

Tang Xia quickly scanned the racks full of medicine, yet she did not find the green bottle that La Chapelle had mentioned. Meanwhile, La Chapelle was also shaking her head. Apparently, she had found nothing too.

The duo glanced at each other and could not help looking disappointed. Were they going to end up returning empty-handed?

Tang Xia bit her lips tightly as she got lost in deep thought. If this was her, where would she put the antidote?

After a moment, a light flashed across her eyes. She walked straight to the fat woman’s desk and started rummaging through it. Through the small crack of the desk drawer, she faintly saw the corner of a green bottle.

It was indeed here! Tang Xia was overjoyed. “Found it!” Just as she was about to pull open the drawer to retrieve the antidote, she realized that the drawer would not budge at all. It was locked.

La Chapelle heard her and came over. She also felt a little helpless when she saw that the drawer was locked. However, just a second later, a smile formed on her face. She turned around and felt the fat woman’s body. Just as she had expected, she found a bunch of keys.

“Luckily, we’ve already knocked her out.” La Chapelle sighed emotionally. The fat woman had hidden the antidote so secretly that if they had not knocked her out first, even if they had found the secret place, they would not have been able to open it and everything would have been in vain.

As she spoke, La Chapelle inserted the key into the keyhole. It was indeed a match. She opened the lock easily and retrieved the antidote.

The two of them had just gotten their hands on the antidote, yet before they could even rejoice, they heard a series of footsteps coming from outside.

“Oh no, the others are back.”

La Chapelle’s face fell and she quickly returned the drawer to its original state. She then turned around and told Tang Xia, “Take the antidote and go. I’ll stay here.”

Tang Xia kept the antidote, but her gaze was hesitant. They had knocked out the fat woman and stolen the antidote. Would La Chapelle be in danger if she stayed here alone?

“Don’t worry about me. They won’t find out so soon.” Upon hearing the footsteps approaching, La Chapelle urged her even more.

Tang Xia knew that this was not the time to push and pull. After taking one last look at La Chapelle, she headed to the storage room without hesitation. It was the room she had chanced upon right from the start.

At the moment, she already knew that there were two exits in the lab. The storage room was located at the back door.

When she entered the storage room, a bunch of women dressed in white coats also entered the laboratory. Although they were separated by a door, Tang Xia could still faintly hear La Chapelle’s voice as she talked to them.

La Chapelle was doing a very good job concealing everything. Like she had said, it should be fine for now.

Tang Xia paused for a while and calmed herself down a little. Through the tiny gap on the other side, she saw that the patrolling maids had left and dashed outside without hesitation.

Although she had already gotten the antidote, which meant that the maids were no longer that much of a threat, she was still alone. She had to be careful with everything.

Upon thinking of this, Tang Xia still decided to save Chu Tiankuo first.

She sneaked outside Chu Tianjiao’s room carefully. Although she faintly heard sounds of intense fighting coming from inside, the sounds were unclear.

Tang Xia could only press her ear against the door to listen clearly.

“What have you done to Tang Xia?”

Although the voice was soft, this icy-cold voice could not be more familiar to Tang Xia. It was Chu Tiankuo’s voice. He was still concerned about her. Her heart became warm as she leaned even closer.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t punish her at all.”

She heard another cold voice that was filled with sarcasm. It was obviously Chu Tianjiao’s.

“When are you going to stop making mistakes? Let me advise you one more time. Let go of Tang Xia and the girls in the Garden of Eden.” When Chu Tianjiao heard this, his tone became more relaxed, but his choice of words was still strict.

Although Tang Xia could not see what was going on inside, she could still imagine Chu Tiankuo furrowing his brows unhappily.

“Brother, why are you being so stubborn? Is the present so bad?” Chu Tianjiao’s response sounded agitated. It seemed like he was very unhappy with Chu Tiankuo’s repeated obstructions.

“You’re not going to listen to me, are you?”

“I told you already, I’m fine with everything but letting them go!”

As the conflict grew among the two of them, the voice coming from inside became louder and fiercer. It was even accompanied by the faint sound of breaking cups and porcelain.

It seemed like they had failed to communicate and turned to vent their anger on the objects around them.

Tang Xia’s face fell. She had focused all her attention to listen to the movements inside the room and had not realized that a maid had walked up to her silently.

When the maid’s icy-cold hand landed on her shoulder, Tang Xia had to bit her lower lip with all her might to suppress the urge to scream. However, a layer of cold sweat still formed on her forehead.

They were outside Chu Tianjiao’s room. If he gave an order, countless maids would come and surround her. Then, Tang Xia herself would not be safe, so she would have to forget about saving Chu Tiankuo.

Without hesitation, Tang Xia quickly turned around and fought against the maid. She wanted to deal with this one first before more came along.

However, the maid’s strength was extraordinary. Before long, she had already grabbed hold of Tang Xia and pressed her against the floor. Tang Xia grabbed the maid’s hand for dear life and waited for a chance to reverse the situation.

Then, Tang Xia finally saw the face of the maid. She became a little distracted and cried out, “Pearl?”

Although her hair and outfit were just like the other maids’, Tang Xia could still recognize her face. This was the first friend she had made in the Garden of Eden- Pearl.

In order to save her, Pearl had taken the poison and become a maid.

Upon thinking of this, Tang Xia’s eyes filled with tears. “Pearl, it’s me, Tang Xia,” she said, choking with emotion.

She had not expected to run into Pearl again under these kind of circumstances. Tang Xia spoke in a low voice to awaken her consciousness.

However, Pearl only paused for a short while and then continued to choke her without the slightest hesitation. Her hollow eyes were emotionless.

Upon seeing this, Tang Xia’s eyes darkened. Pearl was controlled by poison, so she would not remember her. Without waiting for Tang Xia to stop being sentimental, Pearl attacked her strongly again.

However, Tang Xia had recognized Pearl and did not want to hurt her. Thus, as she faced Pearl’s attack, several scars were formed on her body in no time.

Tang Xia gritted her teeth and held on. She accumulated energy and when she had the chance, she jolted up and controlled Pearl temporarily. Tang Xia dared not hesitate; she quickly popped a pill inside Pearl’s mouth.

Immediately, Pearl let go of her grip on Tang Xia. Tang Xia was so exhausted that she fell down beside her. If Pearl were to attack her again at this moment, she would not even have the energy to resist.

Fortunately, the antidote took effect quickly. Pearl’s action was stopped half-way in mid-air. Her hollow gaze now contained a burst of emotion.

“Pearl, are you awake?” Upon seeing this, Tang Xia could not restrain the joy in her heart.

Pearl suddenly noticed Tang Xia, who was half-lying on the floor. Her gaze was filled with shock. “Tang Xia? What are you doing here?” Upon seeing the scars on her face and legs, she exclaimed in shock, “Who beat you up like this?”

It seemed like after a person regained their consciousness, there tended to be a gap in their memory. However, this was much better compared to a completely unconscious maid. Tang Xia was just about to explain simply to Pearl what had happened during this period, when the door to Chu Tianjiao’s room burst open suddenly.

Chu Tianjiao walked out of the room, his icy-cold gaze wandering between Pearl and Tang Xia for a while. The corners of his lips curled into a sinister smile. “Tang Xia, you’re really determined.”

First, she had tried to escape by the cliff. Then, she had attempted to ignite a rebellion among the Hell Girls. Now, she had turned her attention to the maids. She was really filled with perseverance.

As Chu Tianjiao stared at her coldly, there was an inexplicable chill in his gaze.
