"ah……"
Hearing a cry of pain from not far away, Jinling was even more stunned.
Turning his head, he saw Xiao He lying on the ground, curled up, looking very uncomfortable.
Turning around again, I found Wang Xuefeng even more completely unconscious, already sprawled on the ground...
"Hey! You guys?" Jinling was shocked and tried to get up, but the pain in her abdomen became more and more intense, causing her to stumble as soon as she stood up.
Jia Bo, who was behind her, quickly helped her up and helped her lie down on the ground.
"What's wrong with you all?" Jia Bo was even more shocked when he saw this, never expecting that someone had tampered with their dinner.
“The food… is poisoned…” Jin Ling was covered in sweat, and clenched her fists involuntarily: “That restaurant… has something wrong… that card…”
Before she could finish speaking, she collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
When Jia Bo looked up, he realized that he was the only one of the four people who was still conscious, and he couldn't figure out what to do for a moment.
"Hehehe...Young Master Jia, how have you been?"
A deep male voice sounded from behind.
Jia Bo instinctively turned around abruptly and saw a group of people slowly walking up the mountain path.
"Zhu Xiao?!" Jia Bo frowned deeply. "She's your sister!"
"I didn't want to either, but this isn't the place to talk, so I'll just keep it short." The man was wearing sunglasses and a black hoodie, clearly not wanting outsiders to recognize him.
"explain!"
"If you break up with Xiaoling, I'll give you the antidote."
Jia Bo narrowed his eyes, completely surprised that he was in such a hurry.
Aren't you afraid I'll report you?
"You won't," Zhu Xiao said confidently. "I have many photos from that night..."
Jia Bo was stunned.
“If you break up with her, I guarantee she won’t know about this. Once I get the Zhu family inheritance, you can pursue her however you want, I won’t care.”
“But if you’re in such a rush to get engaged now… do you think she’ll still say yes after seeing the photo?” Zhu Xiao smiled. “Probably never.”
"That night?" Jia Bo gritted his teeth. "It really was you who did this!"
"Yes, I was the one playing tricks, so what?" Zhu Xiao was very happy: "It's a pity she's that kind of girl. No matter how much you talk, she'll still believe her own eyes... So, have you thought it through?"
Give me the antidote!
"You agreed?"
"Enough with the nonsense!"
"Haha, Young Master Jia is truly... a wise man knows when to yield!"
Zhu Xiao waved his hand, and the person beside him stepped forward and placed a small, exquisite glass bottle in front of him.
"I have given you the antidote. As for what to do, I believe Young Master Jia knows."
After saying that, Zhu Xiao turned and left with a cold smile.
After everyone had gone down the mountain, Jia Bo was still holding the bottle, lost in thought.
After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he placed his thumb on the bottle stopper.
"Hey—wait a minute!"
Jia Bo turned his head in astonishment.
Xiao He acted as if nothing had happened, not only jumping in front of him but also taking the bottle in his hand.
"You? You guys are alright?" Jia Bo turned his gaze behind him in disbelief, and Wang Xuefeng also twisted his neck and sat up.
If I remember correctly, these two were the ones who ate the most, right?
"Give me this bottle, and I'll heal her for you." Xiao He said confidently, taking out the Wusheng Healing Device to switch to other treatments.
Jia Bo didn't stop him, and just stared blankly as he woke Jinling up in no time.
"What..." Jinling covered her forehead, looking completely bewildered. "What happened?"
"It's nothing! Cough cough, it was probably food poisoning, but I'm fine now, don't worry!" Xiao He deliberately didn't mention the group of people from earlier, he also wanted to see what Jia Bo would do.
"Is everything alright?" Jinling carefully examined herself and found that her body was indeed fine.
However, Jia Bo became somewhat silent, and Jin Ling quickly noticed his preoccupied state.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jinling looked at him with some concern.
His attitude just now had indeed softened her heartstrings, and her tone towards him had become gentler.
"No," Jia Bo shook his head.
"You..." Jinling paused, "What...did you mean by what you just said?"
Jia Bo looked up into her eyes and took a deep breath after a long while.
"What I mean is, I hope you believe me."
"Believe you?" Jinling didn't know which thing he was referring to.
“Yes.” Jia Bo replied without hesitation.
If Jinling loses her inheritance rights, given her strong-willed nature, even if both sets of parents agree in the end, she will not choose to "marry up" to someone of her stature.
Rather than facing a bleak future, it's better to confront everything head-on with dignity.
If we ultimately don't end up together, at least we've tried our best and haven't left any regrets about this emotional journey.
Jinling looked at him and was speechless.
This inexplicable sincerity was something she had never seen in Jia Bo before.
So she couldn't help but nod.
Xiao He walked a little further away with the bottle of "antidote," trying to deduce the properties of its manufacturing materials based on the energy it contained.
The results showed that it not only contained the element of life, but also combined the elements of wood and water.
"This isn't the antidote; this is the real poison, a time bomb planted inside the body..." Xiao He suddenly realized: "So this is what it is."
"What? Have you made a breakthrough?" Wang Xuefeng asked.
Xiao He nodded: "I'll have Xiao Xing try it later and see if he can set up a detection program for this substance. That way, this thing will have almost nowhere to hide."
