Gu Chen stepped forward, blocking Song Fan, then shook his head at Sun Zhi and Sun Gao, signaling them not to act rashly.
Song Fan turned back and coldly asked, “What is the meaning of this?”
Jason still held the soup, “Are you sure you don’t want to drink it? You used to have no problem eating raw turtle.”
His smile grew wider, making his gaunt face look like a monster with split lips.
Song Fan shivered involuntarily. Sensing her discomfort, Gu Chen immediately took her hand.
Seeing their interaction, Jason snorted and slammed the bowl onto the table, “Song Fan, didn’t you hear me calling you?”
“Mr. Brown, don’t think this is your territory in B Country.” Gu Chen pulled Song Fan behind him, shielding her completely from Jason’s gaze.
“So what? Do you think your government would offend someone who can cure thousands of cancer patients for you or the Gu Corporation?” Jason’s eyes were filled with malice, though he still smiled.
“Don’t you know the greatness of the Brown Group? Just because of my research, which country in the world wouldn’t show me respect? Just you?”
Jason seemed impatient, “Song Fan, didn’t you hear me calling you?”
“I have nothing to talk about with you.” Song Fan fought off the nausea, barely holding back from vomiting.
The feeling Jason gave her was not only terrifying but also utterly disgusting. She was almost about to throw up.
“Really? Don’t you want to know about your two years of lost memory? I heard you’ve been looking into that.” Jason burped and then returned to his bed.
“I’m very weak. Song Fan, you’re impressive. Your poison-making skills have advanced so much over the years?” Jason leaned lazily against the headboard, while Charlie placed a pillow behind his back to make him more comfortable.
Seeing their interaction, Song Fan narrowed her eyes. It seemed these two had reached an agreement, making the antidote she held her only bargaining chip.
“Your poisoning was orchestrated by your dear little brother here. And now you two are playing this touching brotherly act, it’s truly disgusting.” Song Fan decided to confront them directly, “In A City, you two can’t control Gu Chen and me. You’d better consider whether the A City government would act against you.”
“Control? No, no, I wouldn’t do that. You came with me willingly.” Jason shook his head, “Don’t you want the snow lotus?”
Song Fan didn’t back down, “Don’t you want the antidote?”
Seeing Jason’s eyes narrow uncomfortably, Song Fan knew he hadn’t figured out the antidote’s formula yet, which was her ace in the hole.
“You should’ve analyzed your poison by now. Although it won’t kill you immediately, you can’t stay conscious forever.” Song Fan pressed on, “Being a living dead might be worse than death for you, right?”
“You do know me well.” Jason’s smile briefly softened, but it quickly turned sharp, “But didn’t you think I dared to let you come here because I have more leverage than just the snow lotus and your memory?”
As Gu Chen’s face turned paler and he became unsteady, Jason finally laughed, “President Gu isn’t that strong after all, getting poisoned again with such a small dose?”
Song Fan immediately supported Gu Chen and began checking his pulse, discovering he was indeed poisoned.
She quickly scanned the room but found nothing unusual.
“Don’t bother looking, the poison isn’t in this room.” Jason waved his hand, “When you extracted the snow lotus, didn’t you notice a component that can cure tumors?”
Seeing Song Fan frown, Jason kindly explained, “Mixing the snow lotus with pollen from the snow lotus stamen doubles the medicinal effect, but it also amplifies the poison in Gu Chen’s body.”
His tone turned excited, “No, to be precise, it activates a virus. The combination of the two drugs triggers the virus.”
Song Fan understood. These substances weren’t toxic on their own but caused a chain reaction with the poison in Gu Chen’s body.
“President Gu!” Sun Zhi tried to step forward but was kicked by a bodyguard, causing him to groan and kneel on the ground.
“Don’t move. They won’t kill us.” Song Fan quickly turned back and then addressed Jason, “These two are my people. If they get hurt, you won’t get what you want.”
Jason looked at Song Fan happily, “Then tell me what I want.”
Song Fan took a deep breath before replying, “Me.”
