“But he…” Li Lan was somewhat reluctant, and her hands on the wheelchair didn’t move. She expressed her concern, saying, “His condition is not good now. I can help here. Miss Song, you alone can’t take care of both of them.”
“No, listen to me. I’ll call you later. You’ve been taking care of me these days, and it’s been hard for you. You should go back now,” Su Yang gently said. “With Miss Song here, there’s nothing for you to worry about.”
Li Lan looked at him, then glanced at Song Fan beside him. Her gaze inadvertently swept across the bed where Gu Chen was lying, and then she hesitated and asked, “If Master Gu doesn’t wake up, won’t you go back to the hospital? Can’t I wait for you here?”
Su Yang didn’t realize the implication of her words and, thinking she was concerned about him, looked at her indulgently. “Don’t worry, you should go back. I’ll be fine.’
However, Li Lan’s eyes lingered on Gu Chen, and Song Fan keenly caught her gaze, along with the slight furrow of her brows.
Especially the phrase “doesn’t wake up” made Song Fan more suspicious. Li Lan didn’t disclose what exactly happened to Gu Chen, but she seemed to know that he wouldn’t wake up. This was not a situation where Li Lan should stay.
Song Fan said, “Su Yang’s surgeries were performed by me. He’s in good hands. Besides, family matters of the Gu family are not suitable for outsiders.”
“Miss Song is also an outsider. Aren’t you here?” Li Lan retorted. Realizing she had misspoken, she immediately looked pitifully at Su Yang, saying, “I’m sorry. I’ll go back now. If Master Gu wakes up, please inform me so I can take Su Yang back. ”
“Sure,” Song Fan smiled as she escorted Li Lan out, instructing Uncle Zhong to ensure a proper send-off.
Upon observing Song Fan’s unusual expression, Su Yang anxiously asked, “Is
Young Master poisoned again? He… he’s nearly 25 this year.”
Upon thinking about Gu Chen’s poison, Su Yang became even more worried. He was well aware of Gu Chen’s struggles over the past few years, and this year was crucial.
But Song Fan didn’t answer his question. Instead, she asked, “Did you ask Li Lan to come?”
Su Yang, having been by Gu Chen’s side for so many years, couldn’t be ignorant of the situation. Even if he was concerned about Gu Chen, he couldn’t casually let others into the Gu residence.
“Huh?” Su Yang was puzzled but replied somewhat embarrassedly, “She’s worried about me, especially after my recent surgery. If I didn’t bring her, she wouldn’t let me leave the hospital.”
Song Fan was somewhat puzzled, but she didn’t pursue the matter. Instead, she took out the aromatherapy, saying, “This aromatherapy has been tampered with. I found it on the windowsill when I came in. Mercenaries often use a substance for interrogation; it has hallucinogenic effects, and that’s what was added to the aromatherapy. The person who did this was cautious, but this substance still revealed the toxins in Gu Chen’s body.”
“How could something like this appear in the house?” Su Yang anxiously wanted to get up, but he inadvertently strained his wound, causing him to inhale sharply. “Miss Song, if the house is no longer safe, Young Master will be in danger. The toxins in his body…”
Upon supporting him back to a sitting position, Song Fan said, “I’ve done acupuncture, and most of the toxins have been expelled. Now, I need to use the Gu family’s lab. The last time I saw it, it had the most advanced equipment. I also need a reliable assistant.”
Su Yang nodded. “I’ll handle the investigation for the traitor. The person who placed the aromatherapy is likely still here.”
“Perhaps his accomplice is still here,” Song Fan gazed outside. Li Lan, after being told something by the person who escorted her out, looked back at the villa before getting into the car.
She still couldn’t figure out where she had seen Li Lan before, but the feelings the other person gave her were unpleasant, mixed with a sense of familiarity and disgust.
After suppressing her doubts, she quickly arrived at the lab. Usually, Gu Chen wouldn’t allow anyone else in here. The instruments inside were almost untouched. Song Fan skillfully preheated various devices, intending to prepare an antidote herself.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded behind her. When she turned around, she saw a man with a messy haircut and thick glasses following Uncle Zhong.
The man ran excitedly towards her, seemingly wanting to hug her. However, when he was just ten centimeters away from Song Fan, he realized a dagger was pointing at his heart.
“Miss Song, I am, I am…” He stepped back half a step, but his eyes showed more excitement than panic.
Carefully identifying the man in front of her, Song Fan exclaimed in surprise, Yong?”
