Chapter 309: Detoxification

Upon thinking about the recent assassination attempt by mercenaries, Gu Chen felt there might be a connection between the two incidents, especially considering Song Fan’s unique identity.

With some confusion, he asked, “Do you know her? The person from the mercenaries?”

“Maybe, but I’m not sure. She feels familiar, but I can’t remember who she is. If she’s someone I encountered among the mercenaries, I would recognize her. But right now, I can’t recall who she is.” Song Fan continued massaging her shoulder, a hint of disappointment in her tone.

She could sense that the person might be someone she knew during her disappearance. However, those memories were entirely elusive, creating a sense of being out of control that she found unpleasant.

But Gu Chen, somewhat angered, asked, “Did she hurt you?”

Only then did Song Fan release her shoulder, smiling. “I was careless, but she is indeed skilled.”

“Come here.” Gu Chen, without explanation, pulled her to sit on the bed and

reached to undo her clothes.

“What are you doing?” Song Fan looked terrified. If it weren’t for him being a patient, she would have slapped him.

But Gu Chen said with a somewhat aggrieved expression, “With your skills, getting injured means she’s a formidable opponent. I need to see where you got hurt.”

He didn’t let go, staring stubbornly at Song Fan. Blushing, she pretended to cough and quickly pulled her clothes back. “It’s nothing serious, just a hit. I’ll check it myself when I get back.”

However, Gu Chen didn’t allow her to get up, still stubbornly looking at her. It seemed like if she didn’t let him see the wound, he wouldn’t let go.

A loud “clang” sounded as Wu Yong accidentally bumped into the bedside table, causing a vase on top to fall.

He quickly squatted down, embarrassed. “Sorry, I, I couldn’t see. Hehe.”

Wu Yong was somewhat speechless. These two completely overlooked his presence in the room. True, his eyesight was bad, but he wasn’t deaf. Listening to their flirtatious dialogue was cruel for a single person like him.

Only after Song Fan finally managed to break free from Gu Chen’s grip did she pick up the fragments from the ground. “You don’t need to tidy up with your poor eyesight. I’ll have someone send you back later.”

“Okay.” Wu Yong turned and left, but he didn’t see the oversized clock on the wall and ran directly into it.

In the end, Song Fan could only helplessly assist him out of the room. She instructed the guards to ensure he safely reached his room before returning to Gu Chen’s room.

Gu Chen looked at her somewhat mischievously. “Miss Song is indeed charming. Wu Yong is the typical socially anxious type. He rarely talks to colleagues, yet he seems completely defenseless against you.”

“We worked together before, so we know each other,” Song Fan explained briefly. She had important matters to discuss today. “Can your Gu family find some rare plants?”

“Forget it!” Gu Chen interrupted her. “I’ve said I absolutely won’t allow you to use the Dange fruit, and I won’t help you find it. Give up on this idea; I won’t let you take the risk.”

He seemed overly agitated, and then immediately started coughing intensely. Song Fan quickly poured a glass of water and watched him drink. Then she explained, “I found information and remembered that Snow Red Flower can neutralize various poisons. If we can find Snow Red Flower and combine it with a few other herbs, it can neutralize the poison in your body.”

She spoke seriously, “I mean, it can neutralize all the poison in your body.”

Although Gu Chen had experienced the storms of the business world, upon hearing these words, he unconsciously clenched his fist. “Are you serious?”

After years of anticipation, he finally saw hope. It was challenging to conceal his emotions, especially in front of Song Fan. He would believe anything she said.

“I’m serious.” Song Fan nodded earnestly. “But from what I know, Snow Red Flower can only be found on uncontaminated ice mountains. We might need to search abroad.”

This was what she was concerned about. The Snow Red Flower was even more precious than the Tango Fruit. Even if it was discovered, it might lead to chaos.

Gu Chen didn’t hesitate and immediately said, “I’ll have Su Yang arrange this. Where is Su Yang? I saw him just now.”

It was only then that Song Fan realized Su Yang hadn’t followed them. Upon thinking that Su Yang was still injured, she hurriedly went to find Uncle Zhong, only to discover that Su Yang had already left..
