Chapter 373: Two Conditions

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

However, Charlie didn’t get up. His tone was calm as if he was certain that Song

Fan would cooperate with him. “Gu Chen’s poison has been temporarily suppressed. It seems like he’s fine, but the poison has infiltrated his internal organs. When the time comes, even God won’t be able to save him.”

True to his words, Song Fan didn’t leave the private room upon hearing him. She turned to stare at Charlie, surprised at how well he understood this kind of poison.

These were the problems she had discovered only through repeated treatments for Gu Chen. The poison seemed dormant under the suppression of her medications and acupuncture, but it was lurking in his body. This was the most worrying aspect for Song Fan.

Charlie poured a glass of wine into her cup and gestured as if inviting her to listen. “Are you sure you don’t want to hear me out?”

Song Fan sat back on the sofa. She disliked feeling manipulated, but at the moment, she had no choice. She coldly said, “I won’t involve myself in poisoning. Give me another condition.”

“I don’t need you to poison anyone. Ah, you’re really impatient.” Charlie laughed, “He’s my second brother. I won’t let him die in City A. Even if he dies, it can’t be connected to me, let alone to you.”

His smile carried a hint of cruelty but quickly reverted to a polite demeanor. “I just want him to think he’s dying from the poison. That’s why I need a type of poison that weakens his body rapidly, and the antidote can’t be easily found.

This way, he’ll need Snow Red Flower.”

Understanding his intention, Song Fan asked, “Then, you’ll switch the antidote, and you’ll obtain Snow Red Flower? Jason will die too?”

“Half-right!” Charlie snapped his fingers, “I know, with the abilities of the divine healer Mingjing, you won’t let him die. Besides, this type of poison shouldn’t be a challenge for you, right? Master Mingjing?”

Song Fan squinted, not saying anything. Her identity as Mingjing had always been a secret, not even known to Lanyue.

In the past, to aid refugees from other countries, she had indeed made deals with certain world leaders using her medical skills. Mingjing became known during those times, but she rarely intervened unless the situation was critical. Except for Sasha, hardly anyone knew her true identity. Unexpectedly, Charlie had found out.

Seeing her silent, Charlie was ecstatic. His guess was correct. He thought about how his second brother could go mad for a woman. A lunatic like him wouldn’t cherish beauty unless the person had some special qualities.

Suppressing his excitement, he slowly continued, “I only need you to create the poison and the antidote. I’ll handle the rest. I won’t let Jason die here; it’s not in my best interest. But you can get Snow Red Flower. Although it’s uncertain if it will truly help President Gu, there’s hope, isn’t there?”

Song Fan still didn’t speak. After a minute, she spoke slowly, “If you don’t want him to die, what do you gain from this?”

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world; he must have something in mind for being so proactive.

Charlie didn’t hide his intentions at all. “Of course, to become the hero who saved my second brother. Snow Red Flower isn’t a miracle cure. Even if it can save him, it will take months at the fastest, right? Old Brown values the reputation of the Brown Group and prefers sons with a broader perspective.”

Mentioning his father, Charlie’s eyes showed a disdainful expression. “He values the reputation of the Brown Group and prefers sons with a broader perspective.”

Song Fan understood his meaning. If he could save Jason, at least he would gain favor in Old Brown’s eyes. With the antidote in his hands, he would have the authority to decide when to save him. By then, Jason’s rights would all be transferred to him.

Seeing her hesitate, Charlie added fuel to the fire. “Jason has already started monitoring Gu Chen. Do you think Gu Chen is safe? Besides, his birthday is getting closer, dear divine healer Mingjing.”

Every sentence he spoke shook Song Fan’s resolve. She closed her eyes, feeling as if Gu Chen’s smiling face was getting closer, and also recalling the first time she saw him in a critical condition. This unsettling feeling returned.

She suddenly opened her eyes, determined, and said, “I’ll cooperate, but I have two conditions..”
