Chapter 389: Last Chance

What he referred to as “transaction” was understood by all three present individuals. His implication was that Song Fan should start producing poison.

Song Fan looked at him steadily and remained silent. The requirements for such a poison were indeed high. Besides, she had researched Jason’s background.

Although the second son of the Brown Group rarely appeared in public, some of her foreign partners were familiar with him. They called him a “genius lunatic,” meaning that he was undoubtedly a genius in the field of research but also a complete lunatic who could go to great lengths for his studies.

Faced with such a genius, Song Fan couldn’t be sure if her poison would be easily countered by Jason, especially considering that he also had Snow Red Flowers.

Sensing her hesitation, Gu Chen thought she might be unwilling to harm others. So he said, “Mr. Brown, if you only want to deal with your second brother, there might be other methods, and Gu Corporation can fully support that.”

“But you can’t make him produce Snow Red Flowers, can you?” Charlie shrugged. “I can collaborate with anyone. It’s just that Young Master Gu, your time is running out. Otherwise, Song Fan wouldn’t have agreed to collaborate with me, right?”

He was lying. Jason had many skilled individuals around him, and they would never allow anyone to approach him. Collaborating with others was utterly meaningless.

But it was different with Song Fan. If Jason was infatuated with her, he would undoubtedly reveal some flaws. Whether it was poisoning or kidnapping, Charlie was confident.

Furthermore, one thing he didn’t mention was that Mr. Brown Sr. didn’t want

Gu Chen dead. He even hoped that Gu Chen could survive until they met. If Jason attacked Gu Chen, Charlie would be the one to reap the benefits.

To make Song Fan firmly decide, Charlie revealed another piece of information, “Besides sapphires, Jason also secretly brought two Snow Red Flowers. He’s a person who has harmed many others, naturally fearing harm himself.’

Since Jason brought Snow Red Flowers, Song Fan had to obtain them. She took a deep breath and said, “The collaboration continues. When will Jason arrive?”

“This Friday,” Charlie checked his phone. “So, shall we celebrate our collaboration on Sunday? There are still four days left, is that enough?”

Song Fan nodded earnestly and then stood up, pulling Gu Chen along. “Time is pressing; let’s go back first.”

As they were leaving, she threw a sentence at Charlie, “My colleagues are just interns and have no money. Don’t forget to settle the bill later.”

Charlie nodded helplessly, watching the two leave.

Gu Chen directly opened the car door for Song Fan. He knew she had to go to his lab at this time. As Song Fan got into the car, she had been contemplating the matter of creating poison. She looked out the window, concentrating on how to control the toxicity while ensuring a quick antidote.

When they reached the Gu family villa, Song Fan, accustomed to the route, headed straight for the lab. The servants greeted her warmly upon seeing her, and Uncle Zhong quickly approached. “Miss Song, it’s late. Would you like to have a late-night snack? The young master asked me to prepare seafood congee for you. Would you like to have some first?”

Song Fan looked at Gu Chen in surprise. He smiled and said, “I saw you didn’t eat much when your subordinates were having dinner. You must be hungry.

Right?”

He led Song Fan to the dining room where the servant had already set up the seafood congee along with some exquisite side dishes. Song Fan felt hungry at this moment and sat down without ceremony.

Gu Chen, who didn’t have the habit of having late-night snacks, also drank a bowl of congee as he saw her enjoying the meal. Uncle Zhong was beaming, witnessing Song Fan’s appetite.

However, Song Fan couldn’t force a smile. After drinking the last sip of congee, Gu Chen said, “Regarding this collaboration, if you’re unwilling, you can stop anytime. Gu Corporation might still find another way.”

Although he said this, he had already searched all over the country, but to no avail. He was well aware that perhaps Snow Red Flowers couldn’t be found within the country. But he didn’t want Song Fan to do anything against her will.

“No, there’s no time left.” Song Fan knew that from researching poison to developing an antidote, even she couldn’t complete it in a few days. But Gu Chen had limited time, and there might not be more time to find Snow Red Flowers. Perhaps this was their last chance.

She tried to make her smile appear more natural, speaking with certainty, “Rest assured, I will get the Snow Red Flowers. But I can’t be disturbed during my research. Please take care of the celebration banquet..”
