Chapter 395 Using Blood as a Catalyst, a Man Hides in a Secret Chamber
Su Wantang's mind raced as she watched this scene.
The toxins in Lu Jingyue's body are reacting.
She recalled the "moonlight grass" sample that she had Qin Zheng deliver that afternoon.
That plant is now kept in the study of the old house.
“It’s moonflower,” she said.
Everyone turned to look at her.
Su Wantang entered the room, her voice steady: "The toxins in Jingyue's body resonated with the Moonlight Grass."
"What do you mean?" Lu Zhenguo came in from outside, his face ashen.
"It means that the toxins in her body have been activated," Su Wantang said, pulling out three silver needles from her waist.
A silver light flashed under the lamp.
Lu Jingyan immediately understood when he saw her actions.
He used all his strength to twist Lu Jingyue's hands behind her back.
"quick!"
Su Wantang stepped forward and precisely inserted three silver needles into Lu Jingyue's three acupoints: Dazhui, Tanzhong, and Shenque.
Lu Jingyue's body stiffened for a moment.
Su Wantang raised her hand and delivered a chop to the back of her neck.
Lu Jingyue collapsed into Lu Jingyan's arms.
The room fell silent.
Everyone was looking at Su Wantang.
She withdrew the silver needles, turned to Grandpa Lu and said, "Grandpa, this matter must be kept secret."
"What's the meaning"
"No one is allowed to visit, including doctors." Su Wantang's voice left no room for negotiation. "Jingyue's current condition cannot be known to outsiders."
Grandpa Lu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Lu Zhenguo frowned: "But Jingyue, she..."
“Dad, Wan Tang is right.” Lu Jingyan picked up his sister. “If this gets out, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.”
Su Wantang looked at Xiao Liu: "Go and call Qin Zheng over."
"Yes." Xiao Liu turned and ran.
Qin Zheng arrived ten minutes later.
When he saw the injury on Lu Jingyan's arm, his expression changed: "Miss, what happened?"
"Don't ask yet," Su Wantang said. "Go to the study and bring me that lead box."
Qin Zheng went immediately.
Lu Jingyan placed Lu Jingyue on the bed, then turned to his father and said, "Dad, you and Grandpa should go back and rest first."
"But……"
"Listen to me," Lu Jingyan's voice was firm. "Wantang and I are here."
Lu Zhenguo looked at his son, then at Su Wantang, and finally nodded.
"Let's go, old man." He helped his father walk outside.
Old Master Lu walked to the door and glanced back.
"Jingyan, I'm entrusting Jingyue to you."
Lu Jingyan nodded.
Only the three of them remained in the room.
Qin Zheng returned with the lead box and handed it to Su Wantang.
Su Wantang opened the box.
The moonflowers inside emitted a faint blue light.
Lu Jingyue, lying on the bed, began to convulse again.
Dark lines were moving beneath her skin.
Like worms, crawling in the blood vessels.
Lu Jingyan's eyes turned red as he watched.
"Wantang..."
"Don't worry." Su Wantang stared at the black lines. "This is a good thing."
"Good thing"
"Only when the toxin is activated can we see its trajectory," Su Wantang said, taking a small knife out of her pocket.
She cut her finger.
Blood beads appeared.
Lu Jingyan suddenly stood up: "What are you doing?"
"Save her." Su Wantang dripped blood onto the moonflower.
The grass blades absorbed the blood, and the pale blue light turned into a light purple.
Lu Jingyue on the bed convulsed even more violently.
She let out a low growl as her fingers tore holes in the sheets.
Qin Zheng stood at the door, his hand resting on the gun at his waist.
He knew that if Miss Lu really lost control, he would have to shoot.
But he also knew that if he fired his gun, Brigade Commander Lu would kill him.
Time passed second by second.
Su Wantang's face grew paler and paler.
Blood was still dripping from her fingers.
Lu Jingyan couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed her hand: "That's enough."
"That's not enough," Su Wantang said through gritted teeth. "Let's wait a little longer."
Five more minutes passed.
Lu Jingyue on the bed finally quieted down.
Her breathing became steady, and the dark lines under her skin gradually faded away.
Su Wantang breathed a sigh of relief, her body going limp.
Lu Jingyan immediately supported her: "Wantang!"
"I'm fine," Su Wantang leaned against him. "I'm just a little tired."
Qin Zheng walked over and looked at Lu Jingyue: "Miss, what's wrong with her...?"
"It's temporarily stable," Su Wantang said, "but we still need to observe it."
Lu Jingyan picked her up and said, "I'll take you home first."
“No.” Su Wantang shook her head. “Jingyue can’t stay here.”
"What should we do then?"
“I’ve already prepared the place.” Su Wantang looked at Qin Zheng. “Go to the basement and open that secret room.”
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
"yes."
Lu Jingyan frowned: "When did this happen in the basement?"
“When you went to the Northwest,” Su Wantang said, “I had Qin Zheng find someone to dig it up, just in case.”
Lu Jingyan looked at her, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
This woman always thinks ahead of everything.
Half an hour later, Lu Jingyue was transferred to an underground secret room.
It was a completely sterile room with white tiles on all four walls.
Bed, table, chair, everything is there.
There is even a complete set of medical equipment.
Lu Jingyan put his sister on the bed, turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened here."
"yes."
"Including my dad."
Qin Zheng nodded.
Lu Jingyan then looked at Su Wantang: "You must go back and rest now."
“I know,” Su Wantang said, glancing at Lu Jingyue again. “I’ll come see her again tomorrow.”
The two people walked out of the basement.
The sky outside was beginning to lighten.
Lu Jingyan helped Su Wantang walk towards Courtyard No. 1.
Halfway there, Qin Zheng suddenly caught up from behind.
"Young Miss, something has happened."
Su Wantang stopped in her tracks: "Speak."
"We received word from the hospital that Miss Lu's blood sample records have been tampered with," Qin Zheng said in a low voice. "Someone is checking her blood type and medical records."
Lu Jingyan's face instantly darkened.
When did this happen?
"Tonight," Qin Zheng said. "The other party was very professional; they left almost no trace."
Su Wantang closed her eyes.
Someone is watching Lu Jingyue.
And it happened tonight, while she was having a fit of madness.
This is no coincidence.
"Qin Zheng." She opened her eyes. "A city-wide manhunt."
"yes."
Lu Jingyan put his arm around her shoulder: "I'll go back with you."
The two returned to Courtyard No. 1.
Su Wantang sat down on the sofa, her face deathly pale.
Lu Jingyan went to get the first-aid kit and bandaged her finger.
"Does it hurt?" He moved very gently.
"It doesn't hurt." Su Wantang looked at the injury on his arm. "Your injury is the more important one."
"This little injury is nothing," Lu Jingyan said, tying the gauze back on.
He looked up and gazed into her eyes.
"Wantang, thank you."
"No need to thank me."
"Thank you for saving Jingyue." Lu Jingyan's voice was a little hoarse. "And thank you... for always being by my side."
Su Wantang reached out and touched his face.
"Fool."
Lu Jingyan took her hand and kissed her palm.
Outside the window, it started to rain.
Raindrops pattered against the window.
Lu Jingyan got up and walked to the window.
He looked at the rain outside, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Whoever dares to touch my sister, I will kill them."
Su Wantang leaned back on the sofa without saying a word.
She knew that this rain was just the beginning.
The real storm is yet to come.
In the heavy rain, a figure wearing a raincoat squatted outside the wall of the Lu family's old house.
He was holding a listening device and sticking it to the wall.
A hissing sound came from the headphones.
He frowned and adjusted the frequency.
The static suddenly turned into a piercing scream.
He abruptly ripped off his headphones and covered his ears.
Just then, a large hand reached out from behind and grabbed his neck.
"Crack—"
