Bai Xingjian was delighted. Judging from what the maid had said, this woman was definitely not ordinary. He had already brought his sword close to Hua Fushu. Blood oozed from her fair neck. Sanqiao became even more anxious. "Don't worry, let's talk it over."
She looked at Yu Xuanji and Lao Qiao, "Master Yu, please think of a way to save my girl."
Yu Xuanji and Lao Qiao were also anxious, but the people they brought did not dare to act rashly because the hostage was in Bai Xingjian's hands.
Hua Fushu glanced at the long sword holding her hostage, composed herself, and said with a smile, "Don't you want the account book? I'll give it to you."
Bai Xingjian's heart moved. The account book was indeed in Yu Xuanji's hands. Ye Zelin had publicized it so loudly that his adoptive father guessed that there was something fishy. The account book would not be in Ye Zelin's hands. His adoptive father stopped Ye Zelin, Yu Chisu and others, while he was responsible for killing Yu Xuanji and seizing the account book. He could have killed Yu Xuanji earlier, but this woman stopped him. He did not kill this woman for the sake of the account book.
Yu Xuanji and Lao Qiao looked at each other. They both knew Bai Xingjian's purpose in holding Hua Fushu hostage. Yu Xuanji looked hesitant, but Lao Qiao said, "Sir, no."
The account book was hard to come by and must not be given to this person. If the account book is gone, the murderer in the Cheng Wenbo case cannot be executed on the spot, and more people will suffer.
Bai Xingjian cast a murderous glare at him. Yu Xuanji was determined to trade the account book for Hua Fushu. He was about to speak, but Hua Fushu spoke before him, "Master Yu, I've placed the account book on the second shelf on the left on the third shelf behind your desk."
Yu Xuanji was slightly stunned. Where was the bookshelf behind the desk in his room?
Hua Fushu took the opportunity to give Sanqiao a look, and Sanqiao immediately understood and hurried into the house to get the account book. Looking at the account book in Sanqiao's hand, Bai Xingjian's face lit up with joy, "Give me the account book."
Sanqiao said, "Let my girl go first."
Bai Xingjian said coldly: "Kill her if you don't."
Sanqiao took a few steps and threw the account book at Hua Fushu's feet. Old Qiao looked at the account book anxiously and helplessly. If Hua Fushu's life was to be lost here, not to mention the Ye Mansion, it would be difficult to explain to Ye Zelin.
Bai Xingjian was very vigilant. He threatened, "Pick up the account book, or I'll kill you!"
Bai Xingjian moved his sword slightly away. Hua Fushu slowly squatted down and picked up the account book on the ground. Bai Xingjian said again, "Open it!"
Hua Fushu was inexplicably frightened as the cold light of the sword approached her. She prayed silently in her heart that nothing would go wrong and opened the account book.
At the same time, Sanqiao was also extremely nervous because she knew that this account book was not real. Hua Fushu was afraid that the account book would really fall into Bai Yanlang's hands, so he asked her to write an account book in case of an accident. The content in this account book was consistent with the original account book.
She and Hua Fushu had both seen the original account book and remembered some of its contents. When Hua Fushu said that the account book was on Yu Xuanji's bookshelf and gave her a wink, she knew what Hua Fushu was thinking. However, she hesitated when she took the fake account book. She was afraid that she could not deceive Bai Xingjian, and even considered taking the real account book. However, she understood Hua Fushu, so she still took out the fake account book.
The account book was opened, Bai Xingjian took a look at it, and ordered Hua Fushu to turn it over again. She turned another page, and Bai Xingjian looked at it and ordered her to turn it over again. Hua Fushu was caught off guard that this person was so cautious. Hoping for luck, she turned over two pages, but Bai Xingjian did not notice anything wrong.
She turned another page, and Bai Xingjian said, "Give it to me."
Hua Fushu raised his head and looked at Bai Xingjian pitifully, like a frightened rabbit, and handed the account book to Bai Xingjian. Bai Xingjian put the account book in his arms, and Hua Fushu took advantage of his relaxed moment and punched him in the abdomen with all his strength. Bai Xingjian's lower body was unstable and he hurriedly took a few steps back. Hua Fushu hurriedly fled.
Bai Xingjian stood firm. He had never expected Hua Fushu to do this. He had underestimated this woman and actually took advantage of her misfortune. "Despicable!"
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Compared to you killing people, I'm honest and upright. As a killer, just by being careless and underestimating the enemy, you have already lost your qualifications as a killer."
With the account book in hand, Bai Xingjian didn't want to do anything meaningless, so he took out a few silver needles from his waist and shot them at Yu Xuanji. The next moment, Yu Xuanji fell down.
Old Qiao hurriedly took over Yu Xuanji and ordered people to capture Bai Xingjian.
Bai Xingjian used his lightness skills to jump over the wall. Hua Fushu quickly shot a short arrow, and the short arrow and Bai Xingjian disappeared into the night.
At this time, Ye Zelin and others also rushed over. Seeing Yu Xuanji fainted on the ground, they hurried over.
Lao Qiao and the others carried Yu Xuanji into the house and placed her on the couch. Hua Fushu diagnosed her and informed everyone of her condition:
"The poison Master Yu was poisoned with is highly toxic. While those poisoned by it won't be in danger of dying, they will be unable to experience any emotions, including joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. They must also not use force or walk, or else their bodies will suffer from excruciating pain that will eat away at their bones and heart. Humans are not plants, so how can they be without emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness? Those poisoned by this poison will be like living in purgatory."
Yu Chisu asked anxiously, "Is there any way to detoxify?"
Hua Fushu said calmly, "Miss Yu, I don't know how to detoxify it either."
Hearing this, the hopeful light in Yu Chi Su's eyes dimmed, and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. Her uncle often said that she was capable and efficient, not an ordinary daughter who only knew how to cry. How could she not be sad and upset when her loved ones were suffering and she was powerless to do anything to help?
"Young Madam, is it really impossible to cure the master's poison?" Tears welled up in Old Qiao's eyes.
Ye Zelin soothed her, "Miss Susu, Fushu's teacher is Miao Niang, the world's best doctor. Her medical skills are unparalleled. Fushu only said that she didn't know how to detoxify, not that there was no detoxification method. She didn't give up, so you shouldn't be discouraged."
Looking at Yu Chi Su's disappointed and helpless expression, Hua Fushu was deeply moved. She thought of her uncle who died young, and with whom she had a very good relationship.
Although Yu Xuanji's life was not in danger, as long as the poison was still in his body, he would suffer endless pain at all times. Her master had told her that as a doctor, one should never abandon a patient. She said, "Miss Yu, don't be sad. I have a secret book on detoxification that records various methods of detoxification. Let me take a look. Maybe there is a method in it."
Yu Chisu wiped her tears and looked at Hua Fushu with inexplicable surprise, "Young Madam, is it true?"
Hua Fushu said, "I'll go back and check."
Hua Fushu took it off Yu Xuanji and went back to check it out."
Hua Fushu took out the silver needle from Yu Xuanji's body, and asked Sanqiao to get her needle bag, and gave Yu Xuanji an acupuncture to temporarily stop the poison from spreading to her lungs.
Although Yu Xuanji was in a coma, fortunately her life was not in danger. It was late at night, so Hua Fushu went back to rest. Yu Chisu and Lao Qiao took care of Yu Xuanji, while Ye Zelin arranged for people to clean up the bodies of the men in black. When he returned to his room, Hua Fushu had already fallen asleep in Sanqiao's room.
The next day, Ye Zelin brought in the breakfast Sanqiao had prepared for Hua Fushu, only to find her reading a manual on detoxification. He remembered she'd mentioned last night that she had one, so this must be it. However, being busy without eating wasn't good for her health. He placed a bowl of rock sugar lotus seed porridge in front of her and said, "Eat first, then read."
