Chapter 124 Lick it, chew it, and then swallow it.
Yunyang felt a chill run down her spine. How did Xiaoxin know?
Xiaoting didn't even have a chance to tell her.
She vehemently denied it: "How can you believe what a child says?"
Shin-chan, with a cucumber in his mouth, mumbled a rebuttal: "It wasn't me, it was you talking to yourself in the room, sister."
Yun Yang almost choked on her breath. She ground her back teeth and forced a smile.
"Shin-chan, that word is called 'self-talk'."
After correcting Xiaoxin, she immediately turned to Shen Mingyue and said, "Xiaoxin must have misheard. I was just humming a couple of lines of a song. There's no cousin involved."
Although Shen Mingyue would find out sooner or later, given her current state, knowing would only make things worse.
However, Shen Mingyue's face did not show the shock and sadness that Yun Yang had expected.
Her expression turned unusually solemn, and her beautiful eyes gleamed with a complex light that Yun Yang couldn't decipher.
"Did Fu Xiaoting find out?"
Shen Mingyue's voice was low and slightly hoarse.
Before Yunyang could answer, he continued talking to himself.
"Su Linzhou, your health has been deteriorating in recent years."
"He's been searching for his long-lost illegitimate son, he's almost gone crazy."
“Every now and then someone impersonates him, so it’s still unknown whether he is Zhang Yan or not.”
Yun Yang stared at her intently.
She didn't call him "uncle," but called him by his first name instead?
Moreover, the tone of voice sounds as if he's talking to a complete stranger.
The strangest thing was what she said.
A series of question marks popped into Yunyang's mind.
This isn't some ancient era where blood was used for kinship testing, so how could anyone be so stupid as to impersonate someone else's son?
There are idiots, but not that many.
I'm not feeling well, so I've started looking for my son...
Yun Yang was just about to ask Su Linzhou what illness he had.
A sizzling sound came from the pot.
The oil was boiling, and the scalding hot oil churned and jumped violently in the pot, as if urging something on.
The atmosphere in the kitchen instantly became even more tense due to the sizzling sound of boiling oil.
A maid rushed in from outside, breathless and in a panic.
"Butler Yun! Butler Yun, please go and take a look!"
"Sir, you want to kill the housekeeper!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yang almost dropped the apple in her hand.
"What's wrong? Is it acting up again?"
She panicked as soon as she heard that and immediately stood up.
She had witnessed Fu Xiaoting's madness firsthand; he could really drive a person to their death!
Shen Mingyue, who was standing next to her, also heard it. She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist.
"This bracelet can..."
She had intended to say that the bracelet would calm Fu Xiaoting down and that she wanted to go with Yun Yang.
But the moment she raised her hand, a miracle happened.
The bracelet that she had been unable to remove no matter what she tried, as if it were an extension of her wrist, slipped off with just a gentle touch.
The bracelet landed lightly in her fair palm, cool and smooth.
Both of them were stunned.
Yun Yang stared wide-eyed at the bracelet in Shen Mingyue's hand.
Has this bracelet come to life?
But the situation was urgent, and Yun Yang had no time to think.
She snatched the bracelet from Shen Mingyue's hand and held it tightly in her palm.
"I'll go take a look!"
...
Yun Yang pushed open the door and rushed in; the sight before her made her heart skip a beat.
Two tall, burly bodyguards were seen holding Fu Xiaoting's arms tightly from behind.
Fu Xiaoting was like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, struggling desperately.
The two burly bodyguards' faces turned red as they barely managed to restrain him.
Even if it's you, if you dare to stop me, I'll kill you! Kill! Kill! Kill!
This inner voice was filled with pure murderous intent and violence.
Yun Yang raised the bracelet in her hand and shook it vigorously.
"Ring ring—"
A crisp, melodious bell rang out abruptly in the chaotic room.
As if possessing some strange magic, it instantly drowned out all the noise.
Fu Xiaoting, who was struggling frantically, suddenly stopped.
He turned his head back stiffly, inch by inch.
His bloodshot eyes stared straight at Yun Yang.
The room was deathly silent.
Everyone held their breath.
[Cloudy... brewing...]
Then, he fell straight backward.
The bodyguards hurriedly caught him.
They hurriedly carried him to another bed, and then helped the choked and disoriented Jukiro to his own bed.
Jukiro leaned against the headboard, panting heavily. A ring of clear finger marks around his neck looked shocking.
It took him a while to calm down before he recounted what had just happened to Yunyang, still feeling shaken.
"Originally...cough cough...I was very touched that the doctor actually personally escorted me back to my ward."
"Then, the gentleman saw the mushrooms on the table."
He pointed to a plate on the bedside table, on which were several mushrooms that had been roasted until they were blackened.
"Before I could have someone clean it up, the gentleman... just picked it up and ate one."
"I quickly stopped them, saying that this stuff has an unknown origin and we shouldn't eat it."
"Who knew, sir... he suddenly went crazy and grabbed my neck..."
Yun Yang looked in the direction he pointed, and those dark mushrooms looked strangely familiar.
"Did Shin-chan pick these mushrooms?"
Guchiro nodded.
"That's what Pan'er said."
He seemed to remember something and added another sentence.
“Pan’er also said that I was unconscious before, and it was only after eating this mushroom that I woke up.”
Yun Yang's brows furrowed even more.
Will eating this wake me up?
But Fu Xiaoting went crazy after eating it?
She immediately had her bodyguards carefully pack up the remaining mushrooms and then quickly sent them to the Fu family's private laboratory for examination.
The process of waiting for the results is agonizing.
About an hour later, the test results came back.
When Yunyang saw the results on the lab report, she was completely stunned.
The result was unexpected.
The main component in mushrooms is a potent nerve stimulant.
And this component is exactly the same as the toxin previously detected in Fu Xiaoting's blood!
In other words, this is not a cure.
This is the poison itself!
Yunyang held the test results, her hands trembling slightly.
How could Shin-chan, a four or five-year-old child, know about this poisonous mushroom?
This matter is definitely not simple!
Yun Yang immediately thought of another person.
Hamburger.
She took the mushroom and found Shin-chan in his room.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shin-chan lying listlessly on the table, while Hamburger sat opposite him with a constipated expression.
“Dragon… Dragon Horse… Horse… Spirit…” Hamburg struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter a single word.
Shin-chan sighed and rested his chin on his hand like a little adult.
"Brother, at this rate, we could play until tomorrow morning and still not finish ten words."
"This isn't fun, I'm not playing anymore."
Hamburger's handsome face immediately turned bright red.
Yun Yang: "..."
Why are you calling your dad "brother"?
She walked straight up to Hamburger and got straight to the point: "Do you recognize this kind of mushroom?"
A common trope in novels is that where there is poison, there is always an antidote within seven steps.
She has a strong intuition.
The fact that Hamburg appeared at this critical juncture was definitely not a coincidence.
He is definitely a key figure in driving the plot forward.
Furthermore, since both he and Shin-chan are immune to all poisons, they likely know the antidote.
Before Hamburg could answer, Shin-chan, standing to the side, rushed to take credit.
He jumped off the chair, ran to Yunyang's side, and looked up at her with a proud expression.
"Sister! These are the delicious mushrooms I found!"
Yun Yang lowered her head, gently stroked his golden fur, and gave a perfunctory compliment: "Xiao Xin is great."
Then, her gaze returned to Hamburg's face, awaiting his reply.
Hamburg was silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his blue eyes.
"Did...the...poison...come...with you?"
Yun Yang's heart sank suddenly.
He neither denied it nor pretended to be stupid.
He asked her directly if she had brought any poison.
This is undoubtedly an admission that he really does know something!
Yun Yang suppressed her shock, took a small white medicine bottle out of her pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.
Hamburger picked up the medicine bottle, put it under his nose, and smelled it.
He frowned, then looked at Yun Yang.
"have eaten……"
Yun Yang understood immediately: "I've only eaten five slices."
Hamburger's face showed obvious confusion: "No...should...should..."
Under Yun Yang's shocked gaze, he did something that terrified her.
He actually turned the medicine bottle upside down, poured five white pills directly into his palm, and then stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation!
What are you doing!
Yun Yang cried out in surprise and reached out to pry open his mouth.
"Spit it out! It's poisonous!"
Is this person crazy? Does he have a death wish?
However, Hamburger merely bobbed his Adam's apple before swallowing all five pills.
"To test medicine, how can you test it if you don't try it yourself? My tongue is the ruler."
Yun Yang: "..."
What if there's poison in the poop?
If you're so capable, try licking it, chewing it, and swallowing it.
Then, Hamberg, speaking clearly and fluently, uttered a statement that overturned Yunyang's understanding.
"This dosage will at most increase appetite and energy levels, and recovery will take no more than half a month."
Yun Yang shook her head: "How could that be? He's shown obvious violent tendencies lately!"
Hamburger paused, then looked directly at Yun Yang: "Then he must be..."
Yunyang stared at him expectantly, "What is it? What? What is it?"
2000 years later...
Hamberg: "Spontaneous psychosis."
