The day Shen Zhiqiu was diagnosed with twins, her husband Gu Qingyan brazenly moved into their marital home with Xiao Wanqing.
She endured heartache and suggested Xiao Wanqing stay at a hotel...
“Zhiqiu, I’ve already brought Grandma and the others to the capital and settled them in. We received a call before we came up here, and today we found out the exact location where Lin Yunjin is being held. Wei Qiao has already arranged for someone to lead a team there.”
Shen Zhi Qiu looked up in shock, staring at him in disbelief, her eyes instantly reddening.
Gu Qingyan and Lu Jia, who were standing to the side, were also stunned. They did not expect Rong Mo to act so quickly and efficiently.
Rong Mo nodded solemnly, "Zhi Qiu, you are my sister, and your family is my family."
Shen Zhi Qiu was somewhat moved, but thinking of Zhou Xiao Ran, her eyes reddened again, "My friend is still in the hospital, she, she's been poisoned..."
Rong Mo, who had been slightly frowning, was stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously glanced at Wei Qiao beside him.
"Miss Shen, was it someone from the Rong family who poisoned you?" Wei Qiao's thick, dark eyebrows furrowed. Fearing Shen Zhi Qiu might misunderstand, he quickly added, "Was it done by the person who threatened you with your grandmother's life?"
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded.
“It really is the monsoon.” Wei Qiao’s eyes were icy cold as she turned to Rong Mo and said, “Mr. Rong, I know the antidote.”
"Really?" Shen Zhi Qiu's eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed Wei Qiao's sleeve with a look of surprise.
"Yes." Wei Qiao nodded somewhat awkwardly, "Because the Rong family once had a poison passed down through generations."
Rong Mo looked at Wei Qiao with some surprise and confusion, as this was the first time he had heard of this matter. "Continue," he said.
“I used to work alongside the chairman, and he once told me that this poison was not developed by the Rong family. In the late Qing Dynasty, when the Rong family was still running a clinic, a person who had been poisoned by this poison came to the clinic one day and I heard that he fainted as soon as he entered the door.”
Your great-grandfather happened to be at the scene. After taking the man's pulse, he discovered it was a poison he had never encountered before, and he was at a loss for what to do. Later, the man vaguely regained consciousness and handed your great-grandfather the formula for the poison from his pocket. Only then was your great-grandfather able to administer the appropriate medicine and save the man.
"Then why would the person who was poisoned have the formula for the poison?" Shen Zhi Qiu was a little puzzled, after all, it was impossible for the person who poisoned him to be so kind as to give him the formula to cure him.
"Because it was a formula developed by the person who was poisoned," Wei Qiao explained. "It is said that this person was well-versed in the art of Qimen Dunjia and was particularly fond of studying various poisonous insects and herbs. He wanted to concoct a poison with extremely strong effects but that would not kill people immediately. For this purpose, he did not hesitate to test the medicine on himself."
Shen Zhi Qiu was speechless; she simply couldn't understand such behavior.
"So, to repay the life-saving grace, he left behind the poison formula." Wei Qiao continued to Rong Mo, "The chairman and the second master both knew the formula, and naturally, they also knew the antidote. I heard that the second master used this poison to harm people before he went to prison, which angered the chairman at the time..." Wei Qiao paused, as the rest of the story was too long to tell without further explanation.
"So, my dad has the formula for the antidote, right?" Rong Mo asked directly.
“Yes.” Wei Qiao nodded. “I have seen both the poison formula and the antidote formula before. Just now, after hearing Miss Shen talk about the doctor’s diagnosis and Miss Zhou’s symptoms after being poisoned, I am certain that the medicine they gave Miss Zhou must be this.”
"That's great, Xiao Ran is saved!" Shen Zhi Qiu couldn't contain her excitement and happily grabbed Lu Jia's hand, looking at her with a beaming smile.
Gu Qingyan's face darkened immediately, but he couldn't say anything, afraid that Shen Zhi Qiu would embarrass him in public again. He just looked at her with a mournful expression.
Lu Jia noticed Gu Qingyan's change in mood, so she gently released her grip.
“Then I’ll make the arrangements. We can bring Miss Zhou back to the capital and detoxify her as quickly as possible,” Rong Mo suggested after a moment’s thought.
Shen Zhi Qiu agreed without hesitation, after all, Zhou Xiao Ran's life safety was the most important thing right now.
“Then I’ll go too.” Gu Qingyan, who had been silent all along, suddenly blurted out.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
"No need, Lu Jia can come with me." Shen Zhi Qiu was the first to react and calmly refused.
Gu Qingyan felt a little embarrassed, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, but he still insisted, "You are pregnant and going to such a far place, as your husband, I should accompany you."
Shen Zhi Qiu snorted coldly, still not wanting to give him that face. "You didn't say this before. When I needed you before, you were always there for me. As long as Xiao Wan Qing contacted you, you would drop everything, no matter how big the problem was. So, there's really no need for that now. Besides, we're getting a divorce."
"I told you, divorce is impossible," Gu Qingyan refused with a dark face.
Seeing his stubbornness, Shen Zhi Qiu's face turned red with anger. She angrily pointed at Gu Qing Yan, wanting to continue arguing with him, but at this moment, a hand reached out and gently pressed her hand down.
"Gu Qingyan, my sister says she wants a divorce from you. This is no longer up to you to decide whether you agree or not."
