Chapter 563: Testing
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Old Mr. Brown wanted to see Gu Chen as soon as possible. Song Fan did not stop him and directly took him to the hospital. Song Fan did not hide the fact that Gu Chen could occasionally be conscious. When Old Mr. Brown entered the ward, Gu Chen had just finished a video conference.
Seeing them come in, he frowned slightly. However, seeing Old Mr. Brown’s face, which resembled his mother’s, Gu Chen understood everything. Earlier, Song Fan had sent him a WeChat message, briefly explaining the current situation. He had been skeptical, but with Old Mr. Brown standing before him, he couldn’t help but believe.
When Old Mr. Brown saw Gu Chen, his eyes brightened, filling with tears. “Gu Chen, good child, I’m your uncle, your uncle.”
He genuinely cried. For so many years, he had endured the torment of the poison, yet Gu Chen not only lived but seemed spirited. Even though he occasionally fell into comas, he maintained a robust state when awake. Old Mr. Brown couldn’t even fathom such a situation. With Gu Chen, he no longer had to worry about his suffering.
Thinking of this, he looked at Gu Chen with a more meaningful gaze. Song Fan watched his changing expressions silently, already making calculations in her mind.
“Mr. Brown, Gu Chen can only be conscious occasionally, and this must not be told to others. Do you understand?” Song Fan deliberately said this to make him believe she trusted him completely.
Old Mr. Brown wiped his tears and nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m his family. I won’t harm him, and I won’t tell anyone, not even my son.”
Gu Chen remained silent, coldly observing Old Mr. Brown. This man genuinely wanted him to survive, as his own life depended on it. Seeing the atmosphere set, Song Fan finally spoke, “Mr. Brown, you know we need to conduct tests and verify the efficacy of the snow lotus formula. So, I need your blood.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen felt a twinge in his arm. Recently, he had been drained of a lot of blood. Now it seemed Song Fan was going to take Old Mr. Brown’s blood.
Old Mr. Brown hesitated, frowning. Song Fan quickly added, “Gu Chen already has antibodies in his body, so I need a blood sample for comparison. This way, we can find a solution faster.”
Hearing that they might quickly find a cure, Old Mr. Brown no longer hesitated and rolled up his sleeve. “If it can help Gu Chen, I’m more than willing.”
Inwardly, Song Fan cursed his hypocrisy, but outwardly, she smiled as she drew a large vial of blood. She had many experiments to conduct. If she could use Old Mr. Brown’s blood, she wouldn’t need to use Gu Chen’s.
After drawing the blood, Old Mr. Brown felt weak but gritted his teeth and endured. He then looked at Gu Chen, “Gu Chen, your condition is quite good now. Does that mean your blood antibodies can indeed detoxify the poison?”
His eyes sparkled, and he looked at Song Fan. “Miss Song, I have an unreasonable request. If I could have a bit of Gu Chen’s blood, perhaps my team could help too? You know Jason’s team was very strong.”
He had previously obtained Gu Chen’s blood but saw no results. Now, if he could get fresh blood, perhaps he could extract antibodies. He didn’t care about Gu Chen’s condition; he would drain him if it meant saving himself.
Of course, Song Fan understood his intention and immediately shook her head. “He’s very weak, and I don’t trust the Brown family. Your sons have attacked Gu Chen several times. I can’t give you his blood.”
“Moreover, Gu Chen is weak. He has been in a coma for a long time. Drawing blood could push him back into a coma, hindering the research.”
Each of her words made Old Mr. Brown’s face darken. However, he couldn’t refute her. He needed both Gu Chen and Song Fan’s expertise.
Old Mr. Brown squinted slightly at her. “Miss Song, are you sure you can do this?”
Song Fan nodded and pointed at Gu Chen. “He’s still alive. Doesn’t that prove my ability?”
She smiled meaningfully. “Mr. Brown, you should know that in China, the Brown family may not surpass the Gu family. I suggest you refrain from rash actions.”
Old Mr. Brown locked eyes with her, both seeing the determination in the other’s gaze. Suddenly, the ward door opened, and Wu Yong walked in excitedly. “Song Fan, look what I found!”
