Xia Yu didn’t say anything. The moment he saw Charlie appear, he knew this man had been waiting for him all along.

“I saw you at the banquet that day. At first, I thought I was mistaken, but it turns out you had plastic surgery.” Charlie looked at Xia Yu with great interest, scrutinizing him from head to toe. “Too bad, you changed your face, but your body shape and back remain the same. Doctor, you made a mistake. You shouldn’t have gone to the banquet.”

Xia Yu was startled, realizing Charlie had noticed him long ago. It was then he understood that Charlie was not the fool he had assumed. Recognizing him by his back alone showed Charlie’s keen observation. Xia Yu had underestimated him.

Although Xia Yu remained silent, Charlie sensed the shift in his expression. “Did Peter lose patience and send you to kill me?”

But then Charlie shook his head. “No, no, there’s no need. He has plenty of opportunities to act; he wouldn’t need to send you. You’re here for Gu Chen, right? Let me think.”

Charlie circled Xia Yu repeatedly, making him dizzy with his movements and words.

“He wants Gu Chen’s kidney? But Gu Chen is poisoned.” Charlie’s eyes lit up. “So, you’re here to steal the blood-red flower?”

Xia Yu still didn’t speak, but the growing shock in his eyes revealed much. Charlie had guessed most of the truth, even if not entirely correct.

“How unfortunate. I also need the blood-red flower; otherwise, Miss Song won’t cooperate with me.” Charlie signaled to his men, “Get rid of him. He’s useless now.”

Charlie sneered inwardly. Peter kept talking about collaborating with Song Fan, but aside from helping detoxify Gu Chen, what else could they offer to win Song Fan over? Since both needed the blood-red flower for bargaining, he couldn’t show mercy to the doctor before him.

“No! I’m not here for Peter; I’m here for my child!” Xia Yu shouted before being dragged away.

Charlie raised his hand again, halting his men.

He walked over and looked at Xia Yu with great interest. “Doctor, I heard you couldn’t have children due to drug testing years ago. You have a child?”

Xia Yu’s face turned grim, but he kept his composure. “Yes, I have a child, but I need the blood-red flower.” frёewebηovel.cѳm

“You have a child?” Charlie’s smile widened. As long as someone had a weakness, they could be exploited.

“Third Young Master, let’s talk. You’ll find me valuable,” Xia Yu pleaded. He knew his worth, and at this moment, whether for his life or his child, collaborating with Charlie was the best option.

Charlie nodded seriously and patted his shoulder. “Alright, but you better prove your worth.”

Meanwhile, Song Fan, also troubled by the detoxification problem, stayed in the laboratory. She knew the situation was becoming increasingly complicated and that the sooner she could detoxify Gu Chen, the better.

She spent most of her time in the lab, sometimes sleeping there, as did others. This camaraderie made it less lonely.

One morning, Song Fan woke up to the smell of soy milk and fried dough sticks. She opened her eyes to see Gu Chen sitting on the sofa opposite her.

“There’s a rest room inside. Why sleep here?” Gu Chen put down his documents and looked at her with a reproachful expression.

Song Fan hastily tidied her hair. “I have an experiment that needs to be monitored for 12 hours.”

To prevent further questioning, she quickly grabbed a fried dough stick. “I haven’t had these in a while. Freshly made ones are always the best.”

As Gu Chen handed her a napkin and opened the soy milk cup, she hurriedly changed the subject. “Any results on Fang Si’s blood test? What kind of poison was it?”

She hoped to divert the conversation but saw Gu Chen’s face darken even more. “It was poison—an overdose of inhaled drugs.”

“Drugs?” Song Fan sensed an important detail but wasn’t sure.

Gu Chen nodded. “I’ve asked the anti-drug department, but Fang Si’s poison is peculiar. It’s a drug, but not a common one.”

Song Fan took a deep breath. “A new type of drug, right?”

Seeing Gu Chen nod again, Song Fan felt a sinking feeling. It seemed all the pieces were starting to come together.
