The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Chapter 1774 - 2076: Brain Region Development (3)

A few minutes passed, and the latest news came from the central control room: Tang Shiyun and Xu Hong had already left through the main gate of the base when Ling Chen was sent to the medical room. The security personnel guarding the base’s entrance knew about Tang Shiyun and Ling Chen’s relationship, so no one dared to stop them.

Upon hearing this news, Ling Chen felt quite helpless. Tang Shiyun’s departure from the base might still be under Zhu Hong’s control, and he must find her quickly. Otherwise, Zhu Hong would definitely continue to use Tang Shiyun.

Fortunately, Tang Shiyun hadn’t left East Sea City. As long as she was within his territory, finding her was just a matter of time.

After resting in the medical room for half a day, Zhu Xiaozhu, who had been notified, finally hurried to the base. During this period, Zhu Xiaozhu had been staying in Beijing. When she received a call from Wei Jiahao and learned that Ling Chen had been poisoned, she immediately took a flight to East Sea City.

As soon as she entered the medical room and saw Ling Chen weakly lying on the hospital bed, Zhu Xiaozhu quickly walked in, looking concerned, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Ling Chen summoned his energy, forced a smile, and said, "I’m fine, I’m really okay. You’ve had a tough time, coming all the way here."

"I told you, whenever you need me, I will come to your side as soon as possible." After speaking, Zhu Xiaozhu picked up the test report on the table and went through it carefully. By the end, her eyebrows involuntarily knitted into a line.

"Who wants to harm you in such a vicious way?" Zhu Xiaozhu’s words carried a hint of anger.

Ling Chen gave a bitter smile. He couldn’t tell her that it was her own brother trying to harm him. "Xiaozhu, is there a way to cure this poison?" he asked.

"As long as it’s poison, there’s always a cure. It’s just... this mixed toxin is the hardest to cure because we can’t determine the proportion of each toxin in the mixture. Moreover, many different effects can occur between toxins. For example, if three toxins are mixed, besides their own toxicity, there might be four different effects. From this test report, it seems you were poisoned with a mix of fifteen toxins, and the person who made this poison didn’t want you to have a chance to be saved."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen touched his nose and asked, "What should I do then? Am I really beyond saving?"

"Don’t say such discouraging things first." Zhu Xiaozhu replied, "I’ve just said that there’s no poison in this world that can’t be cured, only differences between easy and hard. Don’t worry, now that I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you."

With that, she took out a small backpack she carried with her and took out a package of silver needles.

"What’s this for?"

"I’ll first use the silver needles to help release some of the toxins, which will slow down their spread and give you more time." After finishing her words, Zhu Xiaozhu stopped talking, reached out to take off Ling Chen’s shirt, and then sterilized the silver needles, inserting them one by one into his body. After a few minutes, beads of black blood appeared at the places where the silver needles had been inserted.

Seeing the black blood, Zhu Xiaozhu quickly collected it with a test tube.

After about half an hour, the black blood gradually turned red, and only then did Zhu Xiaozhu put away the silver needles and help him put his shirt back on.

"How do you feel, any better?" She asked while tidying up her tools.

Ling Chen nodded, smiled, and gave a thumbs-up, "You’re amazing, after what you did, I feel relaxed all over, and my strength is much restored."

"Don’t get too happy too soon, this method is palliative, not curative. I’ve merely slowed down the toxin’s spread and temporarily suppressed them. If an antidote isn’t made shortly, if the toxins flare up again, you could be in mortal danger." Zhu Xiaozhu seriously reminded.

"So what should I watch out for?"

"Until the toxins are neutralized, you can’t use martial arts. If you use inner strength, the toxins could follow the meridians into the Dantian. At that point, even a god couldn’t save you."

"Alright." Ling Chen shrugged and said, "You’re the doctor; I’ll listen to you."

Zhu Xiaozhu advised, "Try not to go out during this time, stay here as much as possible, so if there’s any problem, I can quickly be by your side."

"Alright, alright, I’ll do whatever you say."

...

In a blink of an eye, another two days passed. Ling Chen obediently followed Zhu Xiaozhu’s arrangements, staying inside the base every day. Apart from sleeping at night, he spent half of his time resting during the day. According to Zhu Xiaozhu, his body was very weak right now, and he needed to rest more to enhance his resistance to toxins.

Of course, Ling Chen wasn’t idle either; Tang Shiyun and Xu Hong were still missing. According to the surveillance footage from that night, after Tang Shiyun and Xu Hong left the base, they got into a car with fake plates. That car arrived two minutes before Tang Shiyun and Xu Hong left the base, suggesting that Tang Shiyun had contacted someone outside before escaping, which led to their pickup.

The car they escaped in has already been found, discarded in a secluded open-air parking lot, with no surveillance around, so no other clues were found. However, what can be confirmed is that Tang Shiyun and Xu Hong are still in East Sea City and have not left.

Knock, knock, knock!

Upon hearing the knock at the door, Ling Chen, who was lying on the bed reading the newspaper, spoke up, "Come in!"

The door opened, revealing Kaelina standing at the entrance.

"Why are you standing there? Come in and sit." Ling Chen gestured.

"No need, I came to inform you that Fatty Hu has woken up. Mr. Bai is conducting a thorough examination on him. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Fatty woke up?" Ling Chen’s eyes lit up. He quickly got up from bed, not even bothering to change his clothes, wearing his robe as he hurried towards the warehouse.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Hu Fei was lying on a bed, with many wires connected to his head. Bai Zhangqiu stood to the side, focusing on the screen in front of him, seemingly checking data.

"Mr. Bai." Ling Chen approached and greeted him, asking, "How is he now?"

Bai Zhangqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Ling, rest assured, he’s fine, the data shows everything is normal. After a few simple tests later, he’ll be able to get out of bed and move around."

Ling Chen nodded and no longer interrupted his work. Afraid that he might be too tired, Kaelina thoughtfully brought over a chair for him to sit, patiently waiting for the results.

More than ten minutes passed, and all tests were completed. Following Bai Zhangqiu’s instructions, a research staff member took a syringe and injected a few milliliters of medicine into Hu Fei’s body. Shortly after, Hu Fei, who was in a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

Looking at the surroundings and people, Hu Fei asked with a confused look, "Where am I? How did I end up here?" (Sorry, was busy with some urgent matters after typing this up. Apologies to everyone.)
