“Don’t be so tense,” Peter said with a smile. “I’m sure you can handle the cooperation I want, but right now, I just want Mr. Gu to stay healthy.”

His face grew paler, and he spoke with so difficulty. His assistant quickly supported him so he could sit properly.

Song Fan lowered her head, looking at the box containing the Tango Fruit, unsure of Peter’s intentions.

Peter didn’t seem inclined to explain further. “Miss Song, the detoxification can’t be delayed, so I won’t disturb you any longer,” he said, his eyes carrying a faint smile. “We’ll discuss our cooperation later. Saving Mr. Gu is more urgent.”

With those words, Peter left, supported by his aides. Song Fan stood up and watched him leave.

As soon as she confird that Peter and his people had left, she rushed into the lab with the Tango Fruit.

“Miss Song! What’s wrong?” Zhao Min, who had resud work, asked anxiously upon seeing her rush in.

“Preheat the purification equipnt imdiately, and ensure no one enters Lab Three. Also, shut down the surveillance in Lab Three,” Song Fan instructed quickly.

Though Zhao Min didn’t know what Song Fan was up to, she hurriedly complied with Jiang Man’s help.

Having extracted the Tango Fruit once before, Song Fan was familiar with the process. Gu Corporation’s well-equipped lab expedited the purification process.

She wondered how Peter had managed to get his hands on a Tango Fruit, but it seed likely that he and Charlie had struck so sort of deal.

While waiting for the purification, Song Fan began investigating Peter, who remained a wildcard.

Unlike Charlie, who explicitly stated his desires—naly, the formula for anti-tumor drugs—Peter kept his intentions opaque, which made Song Fan uneasy.

She quickly delved into the dark web, uncovering the background of the Brown Group’s eldest son. The Brown Group had roots in organized cri, with major revenue streams from pharmaceuticals and drugs, dominating several countries and regions.

With Old Brown stepping back, Peter had beco the prominent heir of the Brown Group.

Jason, his younger brother, was more focused on various scientific endeavors and had no interest in competing for control. Charlie, the only one vying for power, lacked Peter’s ruthlessness.

If not for Cao Lei inadvertently damaging Peter’s kidney, Old Brown likely wouldn’t have allowed Charlie into the group.

However, Song Fan found no traces of Old Brown in her research, nor any connections between Gu Chen and the Brown family. She felt there was more beneath the surface.

Song Fan had a hunch about Peter’s unspoken cooperation request. Her investigation revealed that a rising force in Country L had started encroaching on Peter’s territory, even obtaining the formula for a new drug from him a year ago, offering it at a lower price to seize market share.

Peter needed a new formula, just like Charlie. One sought drugs, the other sought dicine, but neither seed trustworthy.

Song Fan reviewed Wu Yong’s notebook, filled with dense data she could comprehend. Besides new drug research, it also included modified traditional drug formulas.

Considering Wu Yong’s eye condition, she suspected his involvent in drug research might have caused his eye damage.

But with Wu Yong still missing, she wondered if Peter or his adversaries were involved.

Recalling the intense way Peter looked at Gu Chen, Song Fan ford a bold hypothesis.

Given Peter’s current capabilities, he couldn’t afford to wait for a kidney transplant indefinitely. The emphasis on detoxifying Gu Chen seed unnecessary unless there was a deeper connection between them.

Swallowing hard, Song Fan pondered her idea. It seed absurd, but what if it were true?

Once the antidote from the Tango Fruit was ready, Song Fan headed straight to the hospital where Gu Chen was. She needed to detoxify him and uncover the truth.
