Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Duan Zhu Poisoned

"Gu Chuxin has poisoned the lady; she must not be allowed to leave. Seize her!"

With just a single sentence, everyone’s nerves were instantly ignited.

At that moment, Gu Chuxin stood at the top of the staircase. Hearing these words, her heart skipped a beat. As she looked down, she caught sight of Nan Bofu and others who had just returned and entered through the front door.

She immediately raised her voice towards Nan Qingqing downstairs, "Qingqing, is this how the Nan Family treats its guests?"

Her face was full of frustration and grievance.

Standing next to Nan Bofu, Nan Qingqing clearly heard the sentence uttered by Nan Yu just as they entered.

She stealthily glanced at Nan Bofu’s expression, seeing his dark eyes, she couldn’t decipher his true thoughts.

After hesitating for a moment, she looked up at Gu Chuxin and said, "Vice Chairman Gu, there must be some misunderstanding here. The Nan Family did not intend this."

Her words were not only meant for Gu Chuxin but also for Nan Bofu.

Nan Bofu did not respond but quickly ascended the stairs with concern written all over his face.

Following behind him, Nan Zhuoyuan glanced at Nan Qingqing and then toward Gu Chuxin.

"Vice Chairman Gu, whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, please stay for the time being. I will get to the bottom of this matter," he said.

After speaking, he shot Nan Zhou a look, instructing him to keep an eye on Gu Chuxin to prevent her escape.

Receiving the signal, Nan Zhou nodded silently and then coldly proceeded upstairs to stand in front of Gu Chuxin.

"Vice Chairman Gu, why not come downstairs and take a seat?"

Gu Chuxin, facing the imposing Nan Zhou, could feel the scent of blood on him—a presence only found in those who have been regularly pitted against criminals.

She swallowed nervously, a trace of fear flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Without waiting for her answer, Nan Qingqing brushed past Nan Zhou and took her hand.

"Vice Chairman Gu, let’s sit downstairs and talk about what exactly happened," Qingqing said.

Gu Chuxin felt the warmth from the hand holding hers, it was like a sedative, calming her down.

She looked up at Nan Qingqing and reassumed the demeanor of the formidable Vice Chairman Gu.

"Qingqing, it just so happens I also want to discuss with you how outrageous this Doctor Li you’ve brought in is!"

The three of them descended the stairs together and sat in the living room.

Gu Chuxin kept talking to Nan Qingqing.

Nan Zhou, on the other hand, gazed anxiously towards the upstairs, pacing back and forth, waiting for news from above.

He was clueless about his mother’s condition.

In the bedroom upstairs, Nan Yu was diligently using Silver Needle to temporarily seal the poison within Duan Zhu.

Having barely contained the poison, sweat beads the size of peas littered her forehead; she was pale and shaking with exhaustion.

Watching Duan Zhu, devoid of color and covered in blood, Nan Bofu’s eyes turned red with intensity.

With a hoarse voice, he asked, "Doctor Li, how is my wife now?"

Nan Zhuoyuan, too, was deeply concerned and asked Nan Yu, "Mother, has she really been poisoned?"

Nan Yu, fighting the dizziness in her head, clenched her fists. "Yes, the lady has been poisoned with a toxin I’ve never seen before. If I had been a minute later, or had I realized any later, she would probably already be reporting to the underworld."

At these words, a guilty expression surfaced on Nan Bofu’s face.

Choking back tears, he said, "What do we do now? She won’t be in danger, will she?"

It was only now that Nan Yu could see from Nan Bofu’s eyes how much he truly loved her mother and that his concern for her was genuine.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Nan Yu said, "For now, I have temporarily suppressed the poison in her body, buying us an hour. We must identify the poison within this hour and completely neutralize it to save her life!"
