Chapter 771: Chapter 771: The Teddy Dog is also poisoned by Gu_1

"Died of anger?"

Upon hearing this, it’s really hard for anyone to believe.

After all, who was Old Lady Cen? She spent her life scheming against others—such a person must have had an incredibly strong mind. How could she possibly be angered to death?

You don’t believe it.

"Boss, you really shouldn’t doubt it. The information I got is legit, firsthand news. The number of people in the know isn’t much; you could count them on one hand!"

Seeing Zong Wangyue so earnestly assure you, you ask, "Who did it, and why?"

Zong Wangyue glanced around at the people nearby. There were other customers in the cafe. Although many of them didn’t understand the information being discussed, that didn’t dampen the fiery spirit of gossip within them one bit.

You know, the Cen Family is an old and established household in Yenjing. They actually control many enterprises, including one among the world’s top hundred. That such a powerful clan leader of a huge family could be angered to death is indeed explosive news.

Seeing everyone’s eyes fixated on him, Zong Wangyue cleared his throat once more and raised his voice, "I can only say this here. After everyone listens, you must forget it and mustn’t spread it around."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

As if that would happen, though. Every person has a penchant for gossip. Everyone loves to share good news, especially when it pertains to others’ misfortunes.

Zong Wangyue certainly knew this. His saying so was just to make everyone listen more attentively and spread the news faster.

"A few days ago, Old Lady Cen ambushed our boss, but then Goddess Zhao slapped her away with the palm of her hand. Since then, she had been lying unconscious in bed. It’s only this morning, with the younger generation of her family spending a fortune to hire experts to assist, that she slowly woke up. Upon waking, she heard a piece of news, a piece of news that made her vomit three liters of blood on the spot!" At this point, Zong Wangyue looked around mischievously, "Guess what news she heard."

Everyone kept silent.

"Zongzi, stop keeping us in suspense, spit it out."

As soon as you spoke, the fat on Zong Wangyue’s face trembled again, "Hehe, the first part of the news she heard was that Cen Zicong, whom she considered the future heir of the family, was poisoned—and it was a complex poison that currently has no cure!"

"It’s just poison, why get so worked up to the point of vomiting blood?" Wei Shuxian asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, that’s because the person then added that Cen Zicong’s wife and elder sister were also poisoned—with his real sister, mind you."

"Hmm?"

If these words had come from anyone else’s mouth, everyone would normally not think anything untoward. But since it was Zong Wangyue who said it, there must be some hidden implication.

Zong Wangyue’s smile became even more lecherous, "And there’s more. After that, the person said that Cen Zicong’s father, his uncle, was also discovered to have been poisoned. The timing of their poisoning was consistent with that of Cen Zicong’s wife."

"Oh—"

The crowd became noisy all at once.

"Wow, that’s a heavy amount of information packed in those sentences."

Zong Wangyue continued, "That’s not all. Over the next two days, more cases of poison spread through the Cen Family Ancestral Home. So far, there are six people among Cen Xiaodan’s sons and nephews who have been found poisoned, as well as three from the grandchildren’s generation. Hehehe, and these people usually strutted around so pompously. As for the women of the family, the number has already exceeded twenty."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Looks like the Cen Family Members not only mess around, but they also enjoy ’group fun,’ huh?" commented a customer sipping on coffee, revealing the true situation.

Wei Shuxian adjusted his Glasses and said, "Given Old Lady Cen’s temperament, even if the whole family were poisoned, she wouldn’t be angered to the point of coughing up blood and dying. Could it be that she was poisoned too?"

Zong Wangyue shook his head with a smile, "The old lady is fine, but her ’son,’ a large Teddy dog named ’Winnie,’ also got poisoned."

"Pfft."

Just as you were taking a sip of coffee, you felt a surge of air shoot up and ended up spraying Zong Wangyue.

Zong Wangyue looked at you with an innocent face, "Boss, my wife just bought me these new clothes."

"Have your little wife buy you another one when we get back."

You glared at Zong Wangyue irritably, while silently sighing to yourself, "Old Lady Cen must have died without knowing that what Cen Zicong was afflicted with was a love poison researched by Su Liyan herself."

You looked up at Zong Wangyue and asked, "How are the Cen Family Members reacting now?"

"Reacting? Of course, they are offering a high reward to find an antidote. I heard they even sent people to seek detoxification from the Gu King of Shu region, but when the Gu King heard about the poison, he kicked them out on the spot. Those people are still searching for a cure everywhere," he replied.

You asked in surprise, "Haven’t they sought the person who poisoned them?"

Zong Wangyue shrugged, "That unfortunate kid Cen Zicong died the next morning after the entire family got poisoned. It’s said that he even slept with his niece just before his death, and the little girl is only eleven years old, an absolute beast! Cen Zicong was the source; with his death, the leads were cut off. Now, the surviving family members are desperately searching for an antidote, who has the time to look for the poisoner."

Hearing this, you stood up with a smile, "This karma, the Cen Family probably won’t be able to resolve in their lifetime."

Seeing you head towards the door, Zong Wangyue couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, where are you off to?"

As you reached the door, you turned around with a smile, "Going to enjoy the scenery and have fun."

When the four of you emerged from the VIP passage of Xi’an Xianyang Airport, you couldn’t help but admire the bright blue sky above, "I’m back again, and this time I’ve brought Zhao’er with me."

From the beginning, you had never imagined you could revisit the old place with Zhao’er, and this time, you even had Wu Qiyi tagging along.

As for Xi Yu, sigh, better not to mention her; now, just seeing her gives you a headache.

"Master Li, shall we get in the car?"

Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi had already boarded the specially prepared limousine by Luanfeng Pavilion, a modified black Maybach RV.

You glanced at the Maybach RV and asked Xi Yu, "Don’t tell me we’re taking this 16-million-worth RV to the Qinling Mountains?"

Xi Yu naturally responded, "Of course, the Qinling Mountains are full of high mountains and deep rivers, not to mention the abundance of poisonous snakes, insects, and ants. We can’t have the young lady sleep in a tent, can we?"

"Who says we can’t?"

Just then, Wu Qiyi walked down from the car, carrying a mountaineering backpack bigger than her own body, and said to Xi Yu with a smile, "We can’t have this kind of experience normally, let’s go meet up with Professor Sun and the others, and head to the Qinling Mountains together."

You gave Wu Qiyi a thumbs up and turned to Xi Yu, "See, that’s my Little Yun for you, so generous."
