Song Fan raised her gaze to meet his. “If you’re walking around here, it means you can’t call the doctor over now. If I’m not mistaken, you can’t let Gu Hai find out, right?”
Su Yang was taken aback by how Song Fan had figured this out. He subconsciously nodded, then immediately shook his head.
“Alright, hurry up and bring me there. Otherwise, your young master may not make it,” Song Fan insisted.
Knowing there was no other option, Su Yang led Song Fan inside. It didn’t take long for them to find Gu Chen lying beneath a large tree in the garden. His suit jacket was discarded, his tie loosened, and his black shirt unbuttoned, revealing the contours of his exquisite collarbone.
Upon seeing this scene, Song Fan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, finding it rather intriguing.
Unaware of Song Fan’s thoughts, Su Yang urged her, “Miss Song, please go and check on him.”
Song Fan walked over and squatted down to assess the situation. She extended her hand and checked Gu Chen’s wrist for his pulse. Her brows furrowed as she spoke, “His pulse is irregular, and there are signs of poisoning. How has he managed to hold on until now?”
Song Fan had never encountered such a complex case. It was difficult to discern how many different types of poison were coursing through Gu Chen’s body. Some of them even seemed to counteract each other, causing chaos within him. If this continued, he would eventually succumb to the toxins.
Su Yang was on the verge of tears, overwhelmed with anxiety. “Miss Song, our young master, has held on this long. Could you please try to wake him up first? If Gu Hai discovers that something has happened to our young master, the Gu
Family will be thrown into chaos.”
“Alright, I’ll attempt to wake him up,” Song Fan agreed. She knew that it was essential to handle the situation discreetly, especially since the person in distress was the heir of the Gu Family.
Then, Song Fan pulled out a roll of golden acupuncture needles from her bag and swiftly inserted them into various acupuncture points on Gu Chen’s body. Su Yang had witnessed someone performing acupuncture on the young master before, but he was still amazed at Song Fan’s speed and precision.
After the acupuncture was completed, Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze landing on Song Fan, who was sitting beside him. He inquired, “Why are you here?”
Su Yang, filled with excitement, jumped in and explained, “Young Master, you’ve finally awakened. I met Miss Song and asked her to save you.”
“Save me?” Gu Chen attempted to sit up but was gently pressed back down by Song Fan, who informed him, “You can’t get up yet. The needles need to remain in place for 20 minutes after the treatment.”
It was only then that Gu Chen noticed the acupuncture needles on his body. He was surprised that Song Fan possessed medical skills and commented, “I didn’t expect Miss Song to have such skills.”
Song Fan responded casually, “There are many things you didn’t expect,” as she removed the Buddhist beads from her wrist. She held them out to Gu Chen and said, “I’ll return this to you.”
Gu Chen smiled. “I never take back what I give away.”
Song Fan firmly pressed the Buddhist beads into Gu Chen’s hand and asserted, “I will definitely return what I want to return.”
Gu Chen didn’t insist again on giving the beads to Song Fan. But Su Yang knew that when Gu Chen set his mind on something, he would ultimately succeed.
As Song Fan removed the needles and put them away, she inquired, “Do you feel better now?”
With Su Yang’s assistance, Gu Chen rose to his feet and realized that his headache had subsided. Usually, he required two potent painkillers to achieve such relief.
He stared at Song Fan in astonishment and remarked, “Miss Song’s medical skills should not be underestimated.”
Song Fan waved off the compliment and stated, “This is only a temporary solution. For your body to fully recover, it will take a long period of recuperation.”
When Su Yang heard this, he quickly asked, “Miss Song, do you have a way to cure it?”
“Your young master has been poisoned too extensively. It will be challenging to remove all of it. I can’t claim to be entirely confident.” Song Fan sighed.
Although Song Fan expressed her concerns, Su Yang’s heart filled with hope. He wanted to ask more but was halted by Gu Chen, who said, “I’ve been away long enough. If I don’t return now, that old fox will definitely grow suspicious.”
Su Yang could only stay silent and swiftly assist Gu Chen in putting on his clothes. After tidying up as quickly as possible, they made their way back.
As they were about to enter the banquet hall, Gu Chen halted and turned to
Song Fan, saying, “I would like to ask Miss Song for another favor.”
Song Fan crossed her arms and inquired, “What benefits do I gain from assisting you?”
Gu Chen promised, “I will do whatever I can to fulfill your request, as long as it’s within my means.”
Song Fan extended her hand. “Deal.”
Gu Chen appeared surprised. “Does Miss Song know what I’m going to do?”
With firm resolve, Song Fan replied, “Since you don’t want Gu Hai to discover your physical condition, you must concoct a flawless excuse for your departure. Leaving with me offers the perfect pretext..”
