Chapter 559: Hope for Antidote

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

No one knew about Song Fan rescuing Wu Yong. She had worn a hat and sunglasses while driving an old, rundown car, so no one remembered what she looked like.

Charlie’s lab suffered significant losses, and he wouldn’t let it go easily. It was easy to find out who his enemies were, and it seemed that only Peter had the means to attack his lab.

The next day, Charlie brought people to confront Peter, demanding he hand over Wu Yong and the snow lotus.

Peter looked at him weakly. “Do you think I have the strength to trouble you?”

“Why not? Just because you’re weak doesn’t mean your subordinates are!” Charlie replied confidently.

With most of his rivals gone, Peter was the only one left who could pose such a threat. Especially thinking about the business line Old Brown gave him, Charlie narrowed his eyes and looked at Peter dangerously. “It could only be you, unless Gu Chen has recovered!”

With those words, Peter was at a loss for what to say. It seemed that besides him and Gu Chen, no one else would trouble Charlie. But he had been in poor health recently, and Gu Chen was still in a coma. Who could have attacked Charlie?

Despite Peter’s efforts to explain, Charlie did not believe him. Instead, he thought Peter was making excuses. Their conflict escalated, leading to clashes in several foreign territories, leaving them too occupied to care about Gu Chen.

After being rescued, Wu Yong did not rest. Instead, he wrote down all the data he had memorized in the lab.

“They gave me a snow lotus and I recorded its combination with other components. It could be useful for detoxifying Gu Chen.”

Looking at Wu Yong’s handwritten data, Song Fan was once again amazed by his abilities.

She held the documents excitedly. “Wu Yong, you really are a genius. With this and the snow lotus, detoxifying Gu Chen shouldn’t be a problem.”

She had been searching for a way to detoxify Gu Chen for so long. Finally, there seemed to be hope.

But Wu Yong wasn’t as optimistic as she was. “Don’t get too excited just yet. The snow lotus we have isn’t enough. We’ll have to control the toxin little by little.”

Song Fan and Wu Yong spent almost all their time in the lab. They took turns monitoring the experimental data and continuously analyzing the detoxification effects.

Gu Chen also had a strict dietary regimen planned by Song Fan, as he frequently had to provide blood samples for research. Watching her approach with soup and a syringe, Gu Chen felt a headache coming on.

“Song Fan, I really think I might be drained of blood.” He extended his arm reluctantly.

Song Fan sighed. “Who else but you has this toxin? That’s why I made you this highly nutritious soup.”

Seeing the dark, murky soup, Gu Chen felt its strong odor assaulting his senses. However, after giving his blood, he had no choice but to drink the soup, knowing it might be what kept him alive.

While Song Fan focused on her experiments, the struggle between Charlie and Peter concluded with Peter taking the upper hand and acquiring Charlie’s jewelry business.

When Peter found Song Fan, he seemed much healthier. “From now on, you’ll handle the jewelry business. We must continue to collaborate closely.”

Song Fan gave him a forced smile, feeling suspicious. How had Peter, who looked so weak, managed to overpower Charlie?

Nevertheless, she nodded and agreed. She still needed the Brown family’s resources to obtain more snow lotus. Once Gu Chen was cured, she would have nothing to worry about.

 

Peter, seeing her expression, guessed she was calculating something. He casually asked, “Miss Song, have you found any snow lotus recently? Has Mr. Gu not woken up?”

Song Fan quickly shook her head, looking somewhat downcast. “If you all can’t find snow lotus, we have even less chance of finding any. His condition isn’t good.”

“Not good? Is he unable to wake up? Is his life at risk?” Peter looked at her with concern.

Gu Chen was his only hope for survival, and he couldn’t afford for anything to happen to him. Peter had intended to test if Song Fan was involved in Wu Yong’s disappearance. Now, it seemed she didn’t know about the missing snow lotus or Wu Yong.

Hearing his words, Song Fan appeared extremely angry. She stood up in a fury. “Gu Chen can’t wake up for now, but don’t wish for his death. Since the work handover is done, I’ll be leaving.”
