19th Chapter
So, is Lu Jinyang planning to deal with them in international waters?
Co to think of it, if he threw them in prison, who knows if they’d find a way out. No matter where, money solves all problems.
Back in his room, Lu Jinyang collapsed onto the bed as if exhausted, still breaking out in a cold sweat.
From what he understood, these symptoms resembled those after taking drugs. However, he had already checked, and the amount in the cigar he just smoked wasn’t enough to cause such an effect.
Could sothing have gone wrong?
Before he could think further, Lu Jinyang felt as if ants were biting all over his body, and his scalp tingled, preventing him from thinking clearly. He simply pulled the blanket over himself, biting it to endure the discomfort.
...
At dinner, Gu Li prepared the al and called everyone to eat, only to see Gu Chen fail to find Lu Jinyang. She asked, "Where’s Mr. Lu?"
"Upstairs. I’ll go call him."
Gu Chen knocked on his door several tis, but there was no response. He frowned and called out "Jinyang" a few tis, but still received no answer.
Panic set in, and he opened the door and walked in. Imdiately, he saw a blanket wrapped like a cocoon on the bed. Startled, Gu Chen rushed over and found Lu Jinyang unconscious.
"Jinyang! Wake up!"
Gu Chen slapped his face and unwrapped him from the blanket, discovering that his clothes were soaked in sweat.
His heart pounded fiercely, yet no matter how he shouted, Lu Jinyang showed no signs of waking. Gu Chen imdiately called Li Yan, and before the other party could speak, he said, "Jinyang’s in trouble. Get here imdiately."
Li Yan was alard. If Gu Chen had to call, it ant Lu Jinyang was beyond making the call himself. He replied, "Okay," and was about to hang up when Gu Chen added, "At the villa here in the United States, don’t go to the wrong place."
Li Yan: "!!!"
Damn, I’m in B City, and you want to rescue soone all the way in the United States?
"I’m heading to the airport right now. I’ll have soone book a flight for you."
"..."
Li Yan boarded the plane in a daze, only realizing after landing that apart from his dical kit, he didn’t bring any luggage, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
Upon reaching the villa, he saw Lu Jinyang with his eyes tightly shut. In the blink of an eye, his expression turned very serious.
After a brief examination, he told Gu Chen, "Lu Jinyang’s been injected with a stimulant, and the dosage is too high for him to handle."
Gu Chen frowned, "Is it just a stimulant?"
Li Yan rolled his eyes. "I wish it were just a regular stimulant. It’s an overdose, and it’s the most potent hallucinogen. Very tricky."
"Then why are you just standing there? Hurry and treat him?"
"Why the rush? Do you think detox can happen in a day or two? Right now, the real question is whether or not to wake him up."
"What do you an?"
"Once he wakes up, he’ll relive this scenario several tis; saying it’s unbearably painful isn’t an exaggeration. Maybe we should discuss it thoroughly before making a decision."
Gu Chen: "..."
"No way, I’m waking him up first so he can decide for himself." Li Yan added, "All I can do is daily check-ups to keep his body functioning normally. The rest, he’ll have to get through himself."
