Gong Yu saw the doctor's growingly somber face and felt agitated.
The doctor turned his face and said to Gong Yu in a serious tone,"She has been poisoned!"
"Poisoned? How did it happen?" Gong Yu fixed a gimlet-eyed stare at the doctor, making him feel as if he had been the one who administered the poison.
"My guess is that it is a kind of hidden toxin carried by the bullet. It is hidden, thus it can be easily overlooked, before the effects become visible," The doctor began to explain nervously to Gong Yu, afraid that Gong Yu might blame him.
"What kind of poison? How can we can get rid of it?"
"We need to extract the toxins and have them tested. We can't run the tests here because we do not have the equipment here."
"Then what are you waiting for!" Gong Yu yelled at him in a low, yet horrifying voice, which made the doctor tremble involuntarily.
"I am on my way!" He turned and rushed fo
Murong Ye and Gong Yu looked at each other hopelessly. Murong Yunxi was the whole world to these two men. At this moment they were feeling both desperate and helpless, as if it were the end of the world. "Brother, what do you think?" Gong Yu asked Murong Fu, weakly. "I …What do you think?" Murong Ye had never felt so powerless before, this time he sincerely hoped that someone could make the decision for him. … Brief silence. Suddenly Murong Yunxi started twitching again. They gathered around Murong Yunxi again. Gong Yu could see that even Murong Yunxi's blood veins were twitching. Her snow white skin had turned purple and her veins were bulging. The image was unbearable. This time the twitching lasted longer. She was suffering every second. It was as if Murong Yunxi's skinny body was getting electric shocks. Murong Ye couldn't bear it anymore and he shouted at Randell,"Go,
Murong Ye and Gong Yu noticed that there was something wrong with Murong Yunxi. She was staring straight at the ceiling, her eyes fixed without blinking. They suddenly panicked. Gong Yu stretched out one big hand and shook it gently in front of Murong Yunxi's eyes. There was no reaction in them. Murong Ye also noticed that Murong Yunxi's black eyes, which used to be bright and clean, seemed to be missing something. Murong Yunxi's eyes used to contain a vivid light, yet now they were empty and lifeless. "Xiao Xi." Gong Yu tentatively called her name while nervously looking at Murong Yunxi and waiting for a response. "Gong Yu? You're not asleep. I thought you were asleep. I didn't dare to move around for fear of waking you up." Murong Yunxi's voice was very light. It sounded a little bit hoarse because of the fever. Although an ominous feeling struck Gong Yu, he still pretended to be calm. "Would you l
Mu Rongxu went silent for a while while he seemed to be struggling. Finally, he summoned up some courage and said, "I want to take my father down!" "Oh?" Murong Ye was astounded again. He'd had no idea that Murong Xu would ask him to do such a thing. Murong Xu was indeed different from what he used to be. Murong Ye immediately asked, "Why?" "I fell out with him, and he even started to undermine Xuanxuan's father's company. He just did that to make me compromise, but I will not let him. I despise him for doing so. Thus, I decided that only by taking him down will I be able to completely prevent him from sabotaging my relationship with Xuanxuan." "But this is not the only way, is it? You chose the most ruthless way to take your father down." "I have no other way. It's my father after all. I don't want to see him like this. I just want him to be completely defeated once. Only when he tastes failure himself, will he l
Gu Yuxuan thoroughly tried to identify one time before she managed to tell who this girl in an awkward state was. "Tong Nan?!" "Sister Xuanxuan, it's been a long time since we've met!" Tong Nan got up from the ground and look at Gu Yuxuan. "How did you...?" Gu Yuxuan looked at the completely awkward state that Tong Nan was in. It does not seem to have been caused entirely by the car crash. Tong Nan wore a black down jacket but the few big openings in it had already caused a lot of feathers to fly out. The graze also created two big holes in her slim-fit jeans. Her hair was slightly messy and there was even a bloody gash on her cheek. No matter how one looked at this, it did not seem to be a sorry state that resulted from being hit by a car. Furthermore, the speed of their car was not fast. Tong Nan gave a slightly awkward smile. However, having a naturally cheerful personality, she was not excessively coy as she said to Gu Yuxu
Gong Yu looked fixedly at Murong Ye and asked casually, "Do you still remember that I told you where I come from?" Murong Ye nodded. He did not understand why Gong Yu suddenly brought this up. Gong Yu paused for a moment, seeming to be hesitant about something. But eventually, he said, "When I was around 10 years old, my mother passed away. I had a very negative phase at that point in time. Once, when I was in a bad mood and went to a secluded mountain in the suburbs alone, I was bitten by a venomous snake, and that was also when I met my master by coincidence. He saved me and I stayed at his place until I recovered before leaving the mountains. Afterward, I even worshipped him as my master. He taught me martial arts and how to practice. Master's temperament was a little strange, but deep in his bones, he was not actually a bad person." "Could it be that Kuang Youzhi is the master whom you are talking about?" "My master was ind
On that day, Gong Yu opened his eyes. He still embraced Murong Yunxi and that white little bear tightly in his arms. Murong Yunxi was soundly asleep and her warm body temperature made his heart feel assured. His sharp, slitted eyes looked up and scanned the surroundings for possible danger. They were currently situated in the mountains in the middle of the jungle and the bounds of their surroundings were not visible. Soft soothing sunshine penetrated through the dense branches onto the jungle. Dewdrops still hung onto the petals of the flowers in the bushes reflecting the rays of sunlight. Thanks to the thick layer of grass they lay upon, the ground beneath them was soft. However, because the dew had yet to evaporate, it was also slightly damp. Gong Yu frowned slightly. Worried that Murong Yunxi would catch a cold, he got up gently and prepared to carry her up the old tree that towered over them to continue sleeping. However, a
Murong Che saw that Gong Yu was visibly moved and he knew that both his and Murong Yunxi's words had had an effect, so he continued to persist in his efforts to advise and console. "Third Brother, regardless of anything, you should provide accountability to everyone. Back then, you left quietly without a word. Now that you have returned after all the trouble, you should at least provide everyone with an explanation. Ultimately, everyone waited for you, and searched for you, for years. Did you intend to make everyone continue with the search? To continue with the endless wait?" Murong Yunxi, too, chimed in. Tugging on Gong Yu's shirt sleeve, she said, "That's right, we could just return quietly to take a look. Furthermore, we have no baggage. Currently, we also do not have anything to eat. No matter what, we should first get a big meal out of them!" Gong Yu finally nodded his head. Looking at Murong Che, he said, "Let's go then!" Murong Che's
Gong Yu became nervous and stared fixedly at Ouyang Fangzheng. "What do you mean, you can't find him right now?"" What should Xiao Xi do if she couldn't find Master? Niannian was still at home waiting for them to go back... He was prepared to never return there. But when it came time to say goodbye, he found he had an attachment to the place. Even though he had only lived there for five years, he had so many memories and experiences he found difficult to let go. Ouyang Fangzheng saw Gong Yu's expression and was surprised. He had no idea what Gong Yu was thinking, but he could tell that Gong Yu felt a longing for this place. "Anyway, Master has gone to chase after predecessor Baili." "Oh? Did Master's wife show up?" Gong Yu looked a little surprised. Master's wife had disappeared from Master's life for over ten years. Master was unable to find her anywhere. Many people told Master that his wife was d
Lu Yang also saw Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu and also felt a little bit shocked. He stepped forward to greet them. "Xiao Xi, Gong Yu, why are you here?" Murong Yunxi looked at Lu Yang with a smile. Many years had passed by, the past had gone with the wind. Lu Yang was just one of her good friends and they seemed to be more comfortable in this way. "Yeah, we came for a movie, but I didn't like it, so we left before the ending!" Subsequently, Murong Yun turned to a woman behind Lu Yang who looked familiar. "Lu Yang, is this your...?" Lu Yang put on a bitter smile. "Oh, you know that I am in a situation of being forced to get married. This is a girl that my big brother introduced to me for a blind date." Lu Yang had nothing to hide because he had no intention to get married to this woman, so he shared his thoughts directly to avoid any misunderstandings, let alone he had no intention to make her his girlfriend. This woman did not rea
Twelve years later. "Luoluo, come to help me!" Lying face down on her big bed, Murong Niannian complained to her good friend through her mobile phone. She was simply so depressed inside. Yan Chuluo was Murong Niannian's best friend, and their friendship was very solid. Although Yan Chuluo was five years older than Murong Niannian, Murong Niannian, a mature girl, did not have any difficulty communicating with her. Their relationship was even more harmonious than those of her peers. "Well, my dear girl, I'm too busy to attend to you now. I even don't have any leisure for myself," replied Yan Chuluo, who was reading the latest military newspaper on a closestool. Yan Chuluo actually could not attend to her talented friend at the moment because she fell in love with a man. More exactly, she fell in love with him in secret only at one glance. "Well, you just went to receive military training. By the way, your grandfathe
S City— The doorbell was ringing outside. After finding that it was a courier delivering a parcel, Gu Yuxuan answered the door and signed for the delivery. After closing the door, Gu Yuxuan leaned against the door, overwhelmed by sadness. The express delivery belonged to Yun Muxi, which should be her admission letter according to the mailing address. However, Yun Muxi had disappeared for almost a month. Gu Yuxuan stood with her back against the door and slowly slid down on the ground as her tears kept falling down. Gu Yuxuan held the parcel and put one hand on her knees, covering her eyes with the other. Her tears streamed down through her fingers, and she cried silently. In fact, she had cried countless times this month. Father Yun had gone to Africa and kept working after arriving there, so that they were out of touch. Neither could she convey the news of Xiao Xi's disappearance to Father Yun, nor did she know how to tell oth
The bottle was in the shape of a gourd and was smooth and delicate. What was the most special part was the handle of the bottle, which was also made of a little gourd. The two gourds were cleverly connected by a vine. It looked like the bigger gourd was holding the small one while the small one wrapped onto the large one. The lip was the root of the vine, showing a natural and smooth combination. The bottle's shape was delicate and refined. Every detail showed unique ingenuity, subtly revealing a sense of tenderness in its mellow lines. The two gourds were like a mother and daughter. The mother showed her infinite love for her daughter, while the daughter relied on her mother. The two were made of crystal-white porcelain, while the vine was lush green with no extra impurities. Duanmu Gongyu opened the lid and extended his nose to smell it. A rich smell of wine rushed to him with a faint fragrance like a kind of flower. Duanmu Gongyu could not tell what it
Duanmu Gongcheng felt somewhat shameless upon seeing Duanmu Gongyu's shock, and he lowered his head to say, "It's my fault! I am too... I hope you don't blame me." Duanmu Gongyu felt happy to remedy the misunderstanding with his brother and nodded while saying, "I don't blame you, Big Brother. I have arranged for my people to deal with those bad guys. You don't have to be worried." Duanmu Gongcheng could not adapt to this change and still felt embarrassed at the moment. He said, "Third Brother, you've just come back, so I came to check on your injury. Since you're fine, I should not bother you. You're so tired after a long journey. Have a rest and I will come to visit you later." Then, Duanmu Gongcheng asked to leave in a hurry. Nanny Wu suddenly felt embarrassed when only Duanmu Gongyu, Yun Muxi, and she were there. She said in a hurry, "My Lord, you should have a rest and I will go to prepare food for you. You must not have e
After pausing for a moment, Duanmu Gongyu stared fixedly at Hei Ye as if he had something to say. Hei Ye was confused by Duanmu Gongyu's actions and wondered if he had a problem, but he dared not to ask Duanmu Gongyu if the fear that he would enrage Duanmu Gongyu, who had been in anger during the past several days. Looking as if he had made up his mind, Duanmu Gongyu cleared his throat and his face blushed as he said with an unnatural expression, "Hmm... it seems... Xiao Xi... is angry at me..." Duanmu Gongyu stuttered as he did not how to express his thoughts, but the long-lasting cold war between Duanmu Gongyu and Yun Muxi made Hei Ye understand Duanmu Gongyu's meanings at once. Hei Ye said to Duanmu Gongyu in embarrassment, "Your Highness, I didn't have any experience in dealing with girls, so, I don't exactly know how to solve this, but... usually, in such a situation, men should take the initiative to coax women. Don't feel shy to do th
Yun Muxi felt at ease enjoying such a peaceful and beautiful moment. Her parents had been busy with their work and left her alone at home since she was a child, and luckily, she had a good friend, Xuanxuan, accompany her; otherwise, she would have left a lonely life. She was quite satisfied that now Duanmu Gongyu accompanied her, took care of her, and loved her. She enjoyed the peaceful moment quietly. ... At sunset, the carriage arrived in Xinyang City. As soon as they entered the city, Duanmu Gongyu sensed something strange. He said to Hei Ye in a cold tone, "Hei Ye, put on your guards." Since Duanmu Gongyu always had a keen instinct, Hei Ye put on his highest guard at Duanmu Gongyu's reminder. Lan Yun surveyed around warily and looked out for everything that would happen. Hei Ye drove the carriage to a tasteful hotel, which was neither the biggest one nor the most luxurious one in the city. The reason why he chose such an in
Before walking long, Yun Muxi came across Duanmu Gongyu. She cast her anger behind her back and said to him happily, "Look, Gong Yu, I found a puppy. Isn't it cute?" Duanmu Gongyu was allergic to animals, especially furry ones. He measured the puppy with a frown and a look of disdain. As if the puppy had sensed Duanmu Gongyu's hostility against it, it barked at him in a wary way. Duanmu Gongyu furrowed his eyebrows even deeply. A long while passed, and he finally replied, "No, not at all. It is not that friendly to me." Yun Muxi defended the puppy hurriedly by saying, "No, it's just too small and afraid of strangers." In Yun Muxi's arms, the puppy barked at Duanmu Gongyu warily once again. Still in a frown, Duanmu Gongyu said in a cold tone, "It does look unfriendly. It warned me to stay away from it." Right then, the puppy barked at Duanmu Gongyu several times more in a warning way. Yun Muxi stroked
The time needed for an incense stick to burn passed by in the blink of an eye. Lan Yun indeed came over carrying two big handfuls of skewers. Since they were in the wilderness and they had never seen how modern-day skewers looked, although the skewers he made were somewhat close, it was still different from the modern-day ones. The wooden sticks were thick, and the meat cubes were also bigger. The shapes were not cut into long shapes as they do in the modern world. Lan Yun's skewers looked more like tanghulu. But Yun Muxi was still amazed that he could deliver such great results so quickly. "Lan Yun, if I bring you to where I came from, you could earn quite a lot just by making lu chuan! You're basically god-speed." Lan Yun felt awkward after hearing it. He had put in so much effort to equip himself with all these skills just for him to go there and make lu chuan? This Miss Yun had such a wild imagination. Hei Ye was very alert
