Chapter 103 Xia Yue Poisons Gu Chen
Gu Chen was feeling annoyed and thirsty.
Seeing someone bring him some refreshing tea, he drank a large cup in one go, and then continued to mobilize people to investigate the mastermind behind what had just happened.
At the same time, he also had to finish up the free clinic.
After all, Qin Yeting ruined less than half of the promised thirty spots.
He had no choice but to apologize with expensive medicinal herbs.
The reputation of Gu's Pharmaceuticals must not be ruined in his hands.
"This tea is delicious. Take the cup away and bring me another one," Gu Chen casually ordered.
He didn't even lift his eyelids, so naturally he didn't notice Xia Yue's presence.
Xia Yue didn't leave, but coldly asked, "Do you know why this tea tastes so good?"
Gu Chen heard the voice and suddenly looked up!
He looked at the unfamiliar yet ordinary face before him. Although it was completely different from the person he remembered, just by looking at those eyes, that aura, and that voice from before...
He was certain that this was the person he had been searching for!
"Junior Sister! Is it really you? You really came." Gu Chen's voice was filled with excitement.
He tried to hug Xia Yue, but Xia Yue pointed a golden needle directly at his neck.
"Hey Gu, we're not that close, don't try to make connections here."
You betrayed your master and ancestors, you're a scoundrel! I've already shown you mercy by not killing you!
Xia Yue's words were sharp and incisive.
At the same time, Gu Chen felt his body go limp and he couldn't muster any strength.
"You added cartilage powder to the tea?" Gu Chen guessed Xia Yue's intentions.
Xia Yue said calmly, "That's right, I even increased the dosage. To prevent you from noticing, I specially used the most fragrant tea leaves."
Gu Chen smiled helplessly, "As expected of my junior sister, her methods are truly impressive. I admire her."
"No matter how skilled I am, can I be better than you? You are ruthless and cruel, you even dared to harm your master, you are not human!" Xia Yue cursed Gu Chen.
But she knew it wasn't the right time yet.
This is Gu Chen's territory after all; there might be some kind of distress device on him.
If a bunch of bodyguards come later, she won't be able to escape no matter how capable she is.
Xia Yue quickly got to the point and asked directly, "Tell me, where did you take Master?"
"I don't know, I didn't do that," Gu Chen said calmly.
Xia Yue directly inserted a needle into a major acupoint on Gu Chen's body!
A sharp pain shot through Gu Chen's body, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
Xia Yue threatened again, "If you don't talk, the next needle will be aimed at your eye and make you blind!"
"Junior sister, you are so heartless. All the care I took for you before, this is how you repay me." Gu Chen was not afraid, his tone was just complaining.
Xia Yue sneered, "Senior brother, it's a real waste for you to be a doctor with acting skills like that. You should go into TV dramas; you'd definitely win Best Villain."
“Acting in TV dramas won’t allow you to inherit the Gu family’s legacy. You know my background; many things I do are things I have no choice but to do,” Gu Chen said earnestly.
Xia Yue knew that her senior brother had a pitiful background.
She never knew who her biological father was, and her mother didn't have a high status in the Gu family. She only gained some favor because she had a face that resembled the old man Gu when he was young.
He was adept at scheming from a young age, and when his master went to treat Old Master Gu's illness, he sought opportunities to become his apprentice.
Seeing his great talent, the master took him as a disciple, intending to take him back to his residence and teach him all that he had learned in his life.
Gu Chen, however, said that he couldn't let go of his mother, so he only came to the countryside for two months each year to study day and night.
Even so, he still learned most of his master's skills.
When Xia Yue was a child, she saw this senior brother secretly wiping away tears.
It is said that because his father is unknown, although he took his mother's surname, the conservative Gu family did not even allow him to be included in the family genealogy, making his status awkward.
She did it to comfort him, and even made him a roasted pheasant.
Now that Gu Chen has become capable, not only is his medical skill superb, but his status has also risen, and he has become a direct descendant of the Gu family.
The price he paid for this cannot be explained in a few words.
"Senior brother, I'm calling you senior brother again because I still remember our past friendship."
Your master has treated you well, so why did you treat him that way?
"If you want a puppet with amazing medical skills, capture me and use me to exchange for him, is that alright?"
“Although this matter involves me, I swear, I really didn’t mean to hurt my master.”
"Okay, at least tell me where he is, whether he's safe, and how he's doing?"
"I don't know. All I know is that he's still alive. That's all I know."
Junior sister, please believe me, I really meant no harm.
I have my bottom line.
Gu Chen explained with utmost seriousness.
Xia Yue tried to appeal to his emotions for a long time, but all she got was the news that "Master is still alive," which gave her a barely adequate sigh of relief.
She didn't believe Gu Chen knew nothing.
This guy is just keeping quiet because he's after his own interests.
But more important than profit is life.
Gu Chen cherished his life; as long as she continued to question him, he would definitely tell her.
Before Xia Yue could even use her silver needles, a large group of people arrived, each armed with a weapon.
This isn't just a family of doctors; it's practically a clandestine force.
A middle-aged man in gray clothes said to Xia Yue, "Let go of our young master, or you won't leave today!"
Xia Yue immediately changed direction, pointing her golden needle at Gu Chen's neck, and said coldly, "His life is in my hands. You'd better watch out. At worst, we'll all die together!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd became wary and dared not approach any further.
