Chapter 677: Chapter 677: What’s There to Hide?
"Well, the poison is completely cured." The drunkard affirmed confidently.
"What’s going on? Did you bring in another doctor, or did you give the young master some miraculous medicine?" The man in white, after his initial delight, asked curiously.
Upon hearing the question from the man in white, both Shangguan Yu and Qing Yi turned to look at Wen Xiao’ai.
It seemed they were all waiting for her explanation.
The man in white noticed this and also looked at Wen Xiao’ai.
Only the drunkard glanced at Wen Xiao’ai before lowering his head to tend to the wounds on Jun Moyan’s back.
"I don’t know what’s going on either. His complexion slowly returned to normal, and he stopped bleeding. He seemed fine, so I removed the needle," Wen Xiao’ai said quietly, aware that everyone was watching her.
"Hmm? Weren’t you guys just here?" The man in white looked at Shangguan Yu and Qing Yi.
"Miss Wen said she wanted to talk to the young master privately, so it wasn’t appropriate for us to listen. We stepped out for a bit, and when we came back, he was fine." Qing Yi explained.
"He was fine when you came back? That’s amazing."
"I told you, this kid’s got a big fate, he won’t die. This isn’t the first miracle that’s happened to him." At this point, Shangguan Yu, overwhelmed with joy, paid little attention.
As long as the person is alright, nothing else matters.
"Did the poison really resolve itself?" Qing Yi asked the drunkard, not hiding his doubts.
"This corpse poison is something I’ve encountered for the first time. I suspect there’s no second case in the world; maybe it’s just a temporary outbreak. It looks severe, but it won’t be life-threatening, just scary. There are countless poisons in this world, and anything can happen when they act." The drunkard said, discreetly glancing at Wen Xiao’ai, who was squatting by the bed.
It was already certain that Wen Xiao’ai did know that person for real.
Why did that person place her by Jun Moyan’s side?
To monitor Jun Moyan for them?
What should he do about it, he mused.
It seemed he couldn’t do anything about it... After all, he didn’t even know what they intended to do, how could he stop them, or even warn Jun Moyan?
This Cat Demon, did she really fall for Jun Moyan, or is it just an act? Hopefully, she wouldn’t hurt him.
"They clearly wanted the young master’s life, why would they use such a poison?" Qing Yi was confounded.
He felt that Wen Xiao’ai was becoming more peculiar, genuinely perplexing.
Aside from other weird incidents, last time she was inexplicably seriously injured but recovered in no time, making the drunkard who was administering acupuncture to her faint as well.
This time she stayed alone with the young master for a while, and his poison was also cured.
This was simply too strange.
"How do you know they wanted Jun Moyan’s life? Maybe it was just a warning?" The drunkard smiled at Qing Yi, trying to console him.
"But this poison is just too bizarre; it’s resolved so easily." Qing Yi said, looking at Wen Xiao’ai: "Miss Wen, what exactly happened last night, is there something you can’t tell us?"
He had already sent people to investigate around Bright Avenue, eventually pinpointing an old factory ten minutes’ drive away.
The reason for confirming it happened there was the inexplicable collapse of several unfinished buildings, the ground seemed cracked by some external force, with some bloodstains and a mass of black gooey substance that might or might not be blood.
Crucially, they found tire tracks that matched perfectly with the black Maybach driven by Jun Moyan.
Wen Xiao’ai said the people who tried to kill them were already dead, yet no bodies could be found.
