Chapter 474: Wu Yong Went Missing

The people in the hospital room all expressed their doubts simultaneously. Song Fan couldn’t believe it. She had only poisoned Jason to make him unconscious, and she had checked him—his health was fine. There was no way he could have died from an illness.
Feeling anxious, she asked, “What else is there?”
Clearly, she had heard that Song Kai hadn’t finished his sentence. What could be more shocking than Jason’s death?
Scratching his head and trying to find the right words, Song Kai finally said, “Xiao Xia is back.”
Song Fan was speechless. She had always suspected that Meng Xia was just being hidden by Meng Yu.
Song Huai snorted, “Is her return even worth mentioning?”
He knew that Meng Xia had always been in A City. Initially, Song Ting had asked him to investigate, but when Song Fan had gotten into trouble, he had stopped looking into it. Now that Meng Xia was back, it seemed logical enough.
However, Song Kai’s expression was still uneasy, even a bit embarrassed.
“Spit it out already,” Song Huai said impatiently.
In the end, Song Kai said, “She’s pregnant.”
Everyone exchanged looks, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
Having said this, Song Kai felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, making it easier to continue.
Jason had announced his death to the public, and the funeral was held in B Country. Such a major event couldn’t be kept secret, and the media certainly didn’t miss it. Jason’s research was a beacon of hope for many cancer patients, and many of them had spontaneously prayed for him online.
But just that morning, the news broke. By the afternoon, Meng Yu had returned to the Song Family with Meng Xia, announcing that she was pregnant with Jason’s child.
The hospital room fell into an eerie silence once again. The whole world had known about Meng Xia and Jason’s affair, and it was likely that the child she carried was his.
“Aunt Meng and Dad plan to make this public and demand an explanation from the Brown Group,” Song Kai said. He didn’t understand the intricacies but felt strongly that the child shouldn’t be kept. “Don’t you think Aunt Meng is crazy? Xiao Xia is so young, she hasn’t even married yet and now she’s having a child. It just doesn’t feel right.”
Meng Xia had saved him once, and although she sometimes targeted Song Fan, Song Kai still remembered her kindness. He thought simply: having a child out of wedlock would affect Meng Xia’s future, potentially ruining her life.
However, the others in the room saw things clearly. With Jason dead, the child in Meng Xia’s womb could be his only heir. If the Brown family wanted the child, Meng Xia would become a member of the Brown family, which was far more advantageous than marrying someone else.
Even if the Brown family only wanted the child, Meng Xia would still receive lifetime financial support. Either way, she would come out ahead.
Both Song Ting and Song Huai understood the gravity of the situation. Since Meng Xia was now considered an adopted daughter of the Song Family, this issue would undoubtedly involve the Song Corporation. Regardless of the outcome, they had to return. Although Song Kai wanted to stay, Song Huai dragged him back.
After they left, Song Fan quickly took Gu Chen’s hand to check his pulse.
Gu Chen watched her with a smile until she breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he chuckle and say, “So, I’m not going to die just yet?”
“Did you take the antidote?” Song Fan knew Jason had used a considerable amount of poison, but now there was no trace left in Gu Chen’s body.
Gu Chen nodded, “Yes, my luck held out. Not only do I have you, the miracle-working doctor, but Wu Yong is also quite useful.”
“Wu Yong?” Song Fan smiled at the mention of his name. “If it’s him, he certainly has the skill.”
“You really have faith in him, and he deserves it,” Gu Chen said, helping her lie down. “He analyzed the antidote Jason gave me and managed to replicate it. He truly is a genius.”
Thinking about Wu Yong’s current state, Song Fan asked curiously, “How did he end up like this? I remember a few years ago, he was a bit introverted but still healthy and cheerful.”
Gu Chen didn’t know much about Wu Yong’s situation either. He had only saved him by accident. Shaking his head, Gu Chen indicated his ignorance.
The sound of a vibrating phone interrupted them. It was a call from Su Ming. Gu Chen frowned; he had instructed that he not be disturbed unless it was something urgent, so it seemed like something had happened.
As soon as he answered, Su Ming’s urgent voice came through, “Wu Yong, Wu Yong is missing.”
