Free Web NovelChapter 1188: Chapter 1188: You Suspect
The elderly man did not believe. He looked at Jiang Xue for a moment, then furrowed his brow and asked, "Are you really a doctor?"
"Absolutely real!" Jiang Xue replied lightly.
At this moment, Ah Huan impatiently spoke, saying, "Dad, fortunately for this young doctor, otherwise we wouldn’t have known you’d been poisoned by Gu. Also, you’re awake now thanks to the doctor."
Once finished, without waiting for the elder to respond, he continued, "Dad, how did you get poisoned by Gu? What happened, can you tell us?"
"You’re asking me, who should I ask?" The elder glared at his son angrily; if he knew, how would he have been poisoned?
Though he said this, he still had his doubts. After all, this poison wasn’t easy to administer, and he’s not an ignorant person. He knew this Gu poison only comes from the South, and not many around him have access to it.
Thinking about this, he had somewhat of an idea.
"Dad, do you really not know?" Ah Huan looked at his parents incredulously; this poison is so peculiar, he didn’t believe his father had no suspicions at all.
"What, you think I’m lying?" The elder looked at his son displeased, gave him a fierce look.
Jiang Xue had been observing the elder closely; although the elder’s expression hadn’t changed, Jiang Xue knew he probably had some idea.
Nonetheless, some words needed saying, so she looked at the elder and said, "Sir, I just suppressed the Gu poison in your body using silver needles. Once the needles are removed, you’ll relapse. I’ve just mentioned to these gentlemen, there are two ways to resolve this poison. One is to find the person who poisoned you and kill the mother Gu on them. The second is for me to forcibly resolve it, but that would affect your lifespan."
"So now, you should discuss how to resolve this poison. My time is limited, and since we’re on a train, I have to get off when it stops."
"Alright, you go next door to rest, we’ll discuss it." The middle-aged man nodded, signaling the burly guard to escort Jiang Xue out.
Jiang Xue said nothing further and followed the bodyguard out.
After Jiang Xue left, the middle-aged man and Ah Huan’s expression immediately turned serious. The middle-aged man looked at the elder and said, "Old chief, what are you thinking?"
"What am I thinking?" The elder glanced at him and said, "I am this old, what’s there to think about."
"Dad, you know that’s not what we mean." Ah Huan frowned, looking at his father. He knew well what they were asking, yet pretended not to understand.
"Alright, I’ll think about it more." The elder gave his son a glance. Who wouldn’t want to live a few more years? However, the immediate concern was secondary.
The most important thing was to figure out how the poison in him got administered.
Thinking of this, he immediately instructed the middle-aged man, "Lan Yuan, help me investigate the maid at home, see what her background is."
"Elder Jun, are you suspecting..." Lan Yuan’s expression changed, looking at the elder. He remembered the maid had been with the old leader’s household for five years, and he was the one who interviewed her.
Could the poison have been administered by the maid?
Thinking of this, Lan Yuan’s face turned a bit unsightly. If this were true, he would also bear responsibility.
"Understood!" The middle-aged man nodded and then moved aside to make a phone call.
