“Quick, go! Don’t let me say it a second time!” Song Fan’s tone was unquestionable, carrying a sense of dominance. The servant promptly opened the ventilation system and started preparing things, while also calling others. Several people from the Gu family gathered outside Gu Chen’s bedroom, but none dared to enter. Everyone maintained silence, except for the old housekeeper, Uncle Zhong, who anxiously asked, “Miss Song, what happened to the young master? Should we call a doctor?”
Song Fan shook her head. “Everyone else, leave. Uncle Zhong, contact Su Yang, have him send over two reliable people, and call a private doctor. We need extra hands here. Keep two guards at the door, and the rest are not allowed to leave the villa. Also, seal off the villa’s surveillance.
As she instructed everyone on what to do, she began sterilizing the acupuncture needles. At the door, there was initially silence, but upon hearing her orders, someone suddenly whispered a small objection.
“This is the Gu family; why is she showing off?”
“Yeah, we still need to buy groceries for the kitchen later. Is everyone going to skip meals?”
“The young master’s car is scheduled for maintenance today. What are we going to do about that?”
Uncle Zhong frowned and scolded, “Is this how we behave in the Gu family? Do what Miss Song tells you to do. If anyone doesn’t want to comply, leave before the young master wakes up!”
Song Fan had no interest in arguing with these people. She walked straight to the door, grabbed the collar of the leading dissenter, and coldly said, “Do as I say.”
Terrified, the person kept nodding, afraid Song Fan would do something to him.
Song Fan surveyed the surrounding servants. She was well aware that if someone could poison Gu Chen, everyone in the villa was a suspect.
“Uncle Zhong, if anyone disobeys, tie them up. If they still resist…” She coldly looked at the servants, “Gu’s family can afford to lose one or two. I doubt anyone would dare to say anything.”
Her words left everyone breathless. Although Song Fan was young, the pressure she brought was almost as much as Gu Chen’s. Even the initially critical individuals hurriedly agreed, fearing they might be her next target.
Song Fan glanced meaningfully at Uncle Zhong, who immediately understood her intention. He left two of Gu Chen’s bodyguards and informed everyone that no one was allowed to go upstairs, and no one could enter or leave the Gu family villa.
Song Fan extinguished the incense and sealed it in a plastic bag. She had sensed something strange about the fragrance when she entered.
After a while, she felt her heartbeat slowing. That’s when she remembered this smell — a substance used by mercenaries to interrogate enemies. A whiff of it could induce a drowsy state.
The person who poisoned Gu Chen must have been careful, fearing the substance might affect his health. Therefore, only a small amount was used in the incense. However, even this small amount was enough to endanger Gu Chen’s life.
His body’s toxins were already suppressed by medication and acupuncture, making it unable to resist the effects of this substance. He was now in a state of unconsciousness.
Fortunately, Song Fan arrived today. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
She took a deep breath and removed Gu Chen’s upper garment, then began administering acupuncture. Given the circumstances, she had to control the toxins first since she didn’t have detoxifying medicine with her.
After half an hour, Song Fan was drenched in sweat, but the acupuncture was finally complete. Fortunately, the amount of poison in Gu Chen was not large; it had only triggered a reaction within his body. At this point, he was frowning with a headache.
Upon feeling sorry for him, Song Fan pressed his temple gently. Following the acupoints on his head, she massaged slowly. After a short while, Gu Chen’s brow relaxed, and his breathing became more regular.
A knock on the door sounded, and it was Su Yang’s voice, “Miss Song, can I come in?”
Song Fan hurriedly went to open the door, seeing Li Lan pushing Song Ming’s wheelchair, both looking anxious.
“Why aren’t you resting at the hospital? What are you doing causing trouble with your health?” Although Song Fan complained, she knew he was worried about Gu Chen, so she let them in.
However, as Li Lan passed by, Song Fan felt something peculiar. She was certain she had seen this face somewhere before.
Su Yang let Li Lan wheel him to Gu Chen’s bedside, and then anxiously asked, “How is the young master? Did he get poisoned again?”
Song Fan didn’t directly answer. Instead, she stepped forward to take over the wheelchair’s handles. “Miss Li, I’ll take care of Su Yang. I’ll have the driver send you back..”
