Chapter 222: Chapter 0222: Gu Poison (Part 2)_1

“Miss has not recovered well, and now she’s got a big problem,” Thirteen muttered.
“Thirteen, please step outside,” He ngji ordered.
Thirteen glanced at Ye Xiong, looked like he wanted to say sothing, but obediently left.
Before he left, Ye Xiong noticed that his eyes were red as if he hadn’t slept well or had been crying.
Could a man as tough as a rock like him also show such emotion?
Strange indeed!
Ye Xiong placed the flowers in a vase nearby and smiled, “I can assure you that this ti my intention for sending flowers is genuine, not like last ti with a hidden dagger behind a smile.”
“You are quite an amusing man. You barged into my office last ti, gave flowers, and even said you liked . I’ve never t a man like you before,” He ngji said with a smile.
“I had no choice. Things that could’ve been settled with force, but I had to solve them with my looks,” Ye Xiong joked.
He ngji couldn’t help but laugh. It must be said that Ye Xiong was right; if he really wanted to use martial arts to deal with her, she and Thirteen wouldn’t stand a chance. This guy could even defeat a Gene Warrior.
“So, should I thank you for not killing ?” He ngji asked.
“I’m quite good at judging people. From the very first sight of you, I knew you weren’t a vicious person, so I had no heart to hurt you. As it turns out, my intuition was absolutely correct.”
“Before coming to see , you investigated thoroughly, didn’t you?” He ngji hit the nail on the head.
“Smart won are not charming,” Ye Xiong sighed.
He had wanted to act cool in front of He ngji, but before he could even start, she had seen right through him, which was frustrating.
“You have a sweet mouth, no wonder so many won are chard by you,” He ngji laughed.
“Miss ng Ji, you’ve used the wrong word; it’s not deceit, it’s mutual affection. You’ve never been in love, so obviously you wouldn’t understand,” Ye Xiong said.
“I’ve been in two relationships, but both n died,” He ngji said indifferently.
Ye Xiong’s face suddenly changed, thankfully he had never seriously considered wooing her.
“They were enemy spies,” He ngji explained.
“That figures. In the circle you used to run in, there were hardly any n worth trusting.”
After chatting idly for a while, He ngji began to cough lightly at first, then the coughing grew more severe; her complexion suddenly turned whiter than paper.
“Are you alright?” Ye Xiong asked, noticing sothing seed off with her.
The door opened, and Thirteen rushed in, asking, “What’s the matter, is the poison spreading again?”
“It’s nothing, you go ahead,” He ngji suppressed her cough.
“What poison?”
Ye Xiong suddenly rembered that Skeleton, when he had severely injured He ngji, ntioned he had poisoned her.
He quickly walked over and pulled open the collar of He ngji’s clothing.
“What are you doing?” Thirteen tried to stop him.
“Thirteen, let him look,” she said.
Ye Xiong pulled open the clothing over He ngji’s chest and saw on her lavender chest, near a small wound that was in a state of suppuration, the surrounding skin was pale as if blood supply was insufficient.
Why hasn’t this wound healed yet?
It’s been over a month, even Du Yuehua’s gunshot wound had healed. It made no sense for He ngji’s knife wound not to have healed and even showed signs of worsening.
“`
“`
“What happened?” Ye Xiong asked in shock.
“Skeleton forced to swallow a pill, saying that I must ask him for an antidote within two months, otherwise, I will die a very ugly death,” He ngji said.
“What kind of poison is it, have you checked?” Ye Xiong asked.
“I don’t know what poison it is. The doctor has checked, and there’s nothing wrong with my body, except that the blood in my body keeps draining away.”
He ngji pointed to an empty blood bag hanging above and said, “Just five days ago, I received five hundred milliliters, and today I need another transfusion. The wound you saw just now can’t heal, probably because of insufficient blood supply.”
“There’s actually such a strange poison in this world that causes the blood inside the body to drain away, it’s too strange!” Ye Xiong sighed.
“The doctors have checked for a long ti and couldn’t find the problem, and they wondered if I had contracted so disease!” He ngji said with a wry smile.
“Ye Xiong, Miss He knows that if Skeleton dies, she will be in mortal danger, yet she still wanted to kill Skeleton. I hope you can save her.”
Ye Xiong imdiately felt troubled. He didn’t know anything about treating people, not to ntion, He ngji’s condition didn’t seem like an ordinary illness.
“I’ll make a phone call.”
Ye Xiong took out his cell phone and called Chen Xiao, briefly describing He ngji’s condition.
As a forr top spy of the Intelligence Service, Chen Xiao’s knowledge and connections were definitely beyond his own, perhaps he might know sothing.
An hour later, Chen Xiao rushed into the hospital.
Upon entering the ward, he imdiately grabbed He ngji’s hand and closely examined her fingernails, first the left hand, then the right hand. After that, he had He ngji lift her feet to look at her toenails, then pressed and poked at various joints on her feet, inspecting them carefully.
Uninford observers would think he had a fetish for feet if they saw his behavior.
“You just co in and start touching people’s hands and feet, are you so kind of pervert?” Ye Xiong couldn’t help but curse.
“I’m examining her.”
“So what did you discover?”
Chen Xiao finally put down He ngji’s foot and said, “I’ve preliminarily concluded that she must have been poisoned by Gu.”
“Gu poison, the terrifying secret technique of the Miao ethnicity?” Ye Xiong felt a chill run through his heart.
He had heard of Gu poison. Simply put, it’s about breeding various kinds of poisonous insects to enter a person’s body to control them. Advanced Gu poison can even manipulate a person’s actions by controlling the Gu.
It was a very potent and malicious secret technique.
“Gu poison is not necessarily found only in Miaojiang.”
Chen Xiao glanced at the two empty blood bags above and frowned, “Miss He seems to have been infected with the rumored Bloodsucking Insect, a type of Gu that parasitizes inside the human body, surviving by constantly draining human blood. Without blood, they die. This is why Miss He’s daily blood volu is getting lower and lower, and why she can only temporarily sustain her life by transfusion. The antidote ntioned by Skeleton should be a drug to kill the Bloodsucking Insects, a small dose just enough to kill a small part of them. Within two months, if she doesn’t take the antidote, the Bloodsucking Insects will continue to breed.”
Hearing that such a dreadfully malicious entity exists in this world, everyone present was alard.
Especially He ngji, despite her bravery, learning that her blood was full of insects still scared her quite a bit.
“If the Bloodsucking Insects live on blood, can’t we possibly get rid of them by blood transfusion?” Thirteen couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s a temporary solution, not a cure. Maybe it will help, but it definitely won’t be enough. If it were that easy to resolve, Miao Gu wouldn’t be called one of the most mysterious poisons in Huaxia,” Chen Xiao explained.
“Is there no way to cure it?” Ye Xiong asked urgently.
“There is, but we need to find a skilled Doctor Miao. It looks like you’ll have to make a trip to Miaojiang,” said Chen Xiao.
“Not ‘you,’ but ‘us,'” Ye Xiong corrected.
“Hey, hey, I have a lot of things to do and no ti to go,” Chen Xiao quickly retorted.
“Nothing is more important than our Miss He’s life.”
