Chapter 219: Tasting Poison With One's Life

ised look, "Because I'm also surnamed Shen."Mu Xing blinked her big eyes a few times before she reacted, "Qiongbao, so you and Shen Yi are relatives"She replied, “He is my cousin.”Speak of the devil,..."What's going on, Old Fu How did you end up in the hospital this badly Wasn't it my sister-in-law who abused you"

Although Shen Yi was joking, his steps were hurried.

Fu Lingxiao's eyes swept over him faintly, "What, jealous"

"Tsk, look at your disgusting face, consumed by love."

Shen Yi walked to the bedside, stopped, and retracted his teasing expression. "It's that guy again"

Fu Lingxiao said in a low voice, "I took down an assassination organization's underground base in M country some time ago. One of the leads I released is now seeking revenge."

"Well, even you make mistakes sometimes," Shen Yi smiled with malicious glee. "What kind of fish are you trying to catch by letting it out"

"I got some documents from an underground base. They confirm a connection between this organization and the mastermind behind it - either they're in an employer-employee relationship, or he's the head of the organization himself."

"After searching for so many years, we finally have a lead. What are your next steps"

Fu Lingxiao's voice sank: "Wait."

He currently possesses limited information, insufficient to mount a counteroffensive. Acting now would risk alerting the enemy, so the best course of action is to wait and observe.

Until the mastermind behind it all gets restless and delivers clues right into his hands.

Shen Yi knew he had his own calculations in mind, nodded, and then asked, "Where is Mu Xing, sister-in-law Why haven't I seen her for so long"

"He went back to Qingyun Mountain to research a cure."

When mentioning Mu Xing, a hint of tenderness appeared in the man's indifferent eyebrows.

"Your sister-in-law is amazing, she even knows how to research antidotes." Shen Yi praised, then reacted suddenly, "Wait! Antidotes Who was poisoned Could it be you"

Fu Lingxiao faintly hummed in response, unconcerned.

On the contrary, Shen Yi became agitated, "Hurry up and call that poisoner of Shi Ye back! Be prepared on both ends, in case Mu Xing's little sister-in-law can't develop an antidote…"

"There's no such thing as a 'what if'."

Fu Lingxiao was determined and confident, his baby was amazing.

As for Du Wei, a year ago he suddenly ran off to the Kunlun Mountains and hasn't been heard from since. During this time, he has tried multiple times to contact Du Wei, asking him to return and research the toxins in Mu Xing's blood. He hasn't responded yet, waiting for him back is essentially like waiting for death.

Shen Yi let out a scoff, "Love not only blinds people but can also cost them their lives. Truly frightening!"

Fu Lingxiao lazily gave him a look, "Those who say grapes are sour are those who can't afford them."

Shen Yi: "..."

A really good person, but with a mouth that could kill you with just one look!

"Okay, I have some things to take care of at the company. See you later."

Shen Yi turned and left, then walked a few steps before turning back to say, "Oh, by the way, when I came in just now, I saw a little girl in the corner outside. She looked very much like Sister-in-law Mu Xing. Could it be that since my sister-in-law isn't here, you're too lonely and found a stand-in"

A flicker of a dark smile crossed Fu Lingxiao's eyes as he ordered Shen Lue, "Go get her in here."

"Damn! You're right, old Fu, you beast!"

Shen Yi cursed his way out of the ward.

As he passed the girl at the door, he glanced at her with dark eyes, then looked away and walked straight on.

The girl was brought into the ward. Her slender frame stood in the vast space, looking especially petite. Her fair face held a hint of nervousness, and her pure eyes looked at the man timidly, like a frightened little white rabbit.

Fu Lingxiao leaned half against the headboard, fiddling with his phone in his hand. He raised his thin lips slightly and asked her, "How did you find this place"

The girl whispered, "I followed the driver uncle's car here secretly."

Fu Lingxiao's expression was indifferent, "What do you want from me"

"I don't know, I have nowhere to go. The only person I can think of is you." The girl bit her lip, her expression a little wronged, "Uncle Xiao, I didn't mean to bother you..."

Fu Lingxiao looked at her, "En, then what"

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now."

After the girl finished speaking, she turned and ran out of the ward.

Fu Lingxiao looked at the figure disappearing at the door, turned his head to Shen Lue and said: "Mu Xing definitely can't research an antidote. You wait downstairs to find someone who knows how to detoxify. As long as you can detoxify me, the conditions are up to you."

Shen Lue was a little confused, wasn't Grandmaster Fu just adamant that Little Star could research an antidote

Why do you think she's not good enough now

He couldn't figure it out, so he replied "Yes" and reported the ambush to the man, detailing the casualties of the driver and bodyguard.

Fu Lingxiao listened with a gloomy face and said: "For those who are injured, arrange the best medical resources. For those who have perished... give them a proper burial. Every penny of compensation owed must be paid. Find someone to take care of their families. For those with children, raise them until they graduate from university."

Shen Yue nodded heavily, his mood somber.

Fu Lingxiao pursed his thin lips, fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What about those two assassins"

Shen Lue replied, "I've already taken him back and imprisoned him in the underground cell."

Fu Lingxiao nodded in agreement, "Go ahead and do it."

Shen lowered his head and retreated, closing the door to the ward.

Fu Lingxiao's finger traced across the phone screen, sending a message. Then he pulled out Mu Xing's number and dialed, but there was no answer after several rings.

He knew she was busy and didn't call again, he just sent her a WeChat message.

Night fell.

Mount Qingyun.

The stone house was lit, and the table was full of various kinds of herbs.

Mù Xīng was grinding herbs and writing down the prescriptions and dosages on a piece of paper. On the two stoves beside her, the medicine she had just prepared was simmering.

Suddenly, another wave of sweetness and metallic tang surged into his throat.

She immediately turned her head aside and bent down, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This was her sixth time vomiting blood. To develop an antidote faster, she chose to test the poison on herself and doubled the dosage. This would make the poison take effect faster, the symptoms more obvious, and it would be easier to find a cure.

After spitting out blood, Mu Xing raised his hand to wipe the blood from his chin. He drank the bowl of medicine he had prepared and buried his head back down to continue concocting more...

In the distance, a woman in black sat on a lush tree branch, holding a portable telescope and leisurely gazing at the busy girl inside the stone house.

Unknowingly, the night had deepened.

Mu Xing's face was pale, her lips had turned a deep purple, and her hand holding the pen trembled so badly she couldn't write. She gritted her teeth, using her other hand to press down on it, only managing to steady the pen with difficulty.

The woman sitting on the tree, looking at her frail figure, took out her phone from her pocket and sent a message: "Should we make a move The opportunity is perfect right now."

I received a quick reply: "Wait until she devises an antidote and brings it to me before I take any action."

The woman replied with an "OK" and continued to stare.

The sky gradually turned the color of fish belly white.

As the first rays of dawn arrived, Mu Xing put down her pen. The bowl of medicine she had taken twenty minutes prior was taking effect; she could distinctly feel the symptoms of poisoning receding.

She finally managed to brew the antidote!

Mu Xing excitedly took the prescription and propped up his weak body. He got up, poured the remaining medicine into a bottle and packed it into his small satchel. As he walked out of the stone house and locked the door, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from behind him!he heavens collapse and the world is destroyed, he doesn't care.The bodyguard was intimidated by his murderous aura, afraid to utter another word. He shrank to the side like a quail, even his breathin...
