Chapter 203 – Finding The Antidote (1/2)
Chapter 203 - Finding The Antidote (Unedited)
Back then, the Kou country’s Yamaguchi-gumi wanted to come to Tenglong country and use the bacterium to earn huge profits. And Lei Yu knew during that time, the Ming Sect’s Du Chang Hai had bought some drugs from the Yamaguchi-gumi. When Lei Yu had previously captured those research scientists while cleaning up Yamaguchi Island, those scientists wanting to preserve their lives had spilled everything they knew. But due to a number of reasons, Martial Sect did not make any moves towards Ming Sect. It appears that things have now revealed itself, where the Ming Sect could no longer hold back their ambitions.
“You’re talking about the Ming Sect?” Lin Cang Hai asked with a slight surprise.
Lei Yu nodded, “It’s a possibility. I’m not trying to blow my own trumpet but I think the Ming Sect made this desperate move because of my return. The relationship between the Lei family and I is already a foregone conclusion, which isn’t a big secret. And from another perspective, I could still be considered a member of Martial Sect.” ¹
“What you’ve said make sense, so what do you plan on doing?”
Lei Yu pointed to Shangguan Xi Hong lying on the bed. “Let’s first take a look at the extent of the poison.”
Going to the bedside, Lei Yu asked the person that was always by the side of Shangguan Xi Hong: “When did you find out that he was poisoned?”
“Last night.” The old man replied.
“I need the exact time!” Lei Yu frowned, clearly not satisfied with the answer.
The members of the Shangguan family were usually proud and arrogant, but taking into account of Lei Yu’s identity, the old man didn’t reveal his anger. Moreover, in front of Lei Yu, he was not qualified to show his temper.
Another middle-aged man on the side answered: “Last night around midnight was when we realized something was wrong. I was together with brother Shangguan when he suddenly became unconscious.”
Lei Yu nodded, “Time is running out, we have less than twelve hours. We have to quickly find a way to detoxify the poison or else even if the Gods came, they would be powerless.”
The words of Lei Yu were easier said than done. If they could really figure out a way to save Shangguan Xi Hong, then this group of people wouldn’t be standing around with a helpless look on their faces.
“Humph, such useless words. If there was a way, we would have already went and gotten it. There’s simply no cure for this type of poison!” The previous old man said in a sarcastic tone.
“I would like to ask: How do you know there’s no cure for this poison? Do you happen to know the medicinal properties of this poison quite well?” Lei Yu asked with his eyes narrowed.
“You… you… you’re blabbing nonsense!” The face of the old man suddenly became pale. Although Lei Yu’s words were insufficient to hint at something, the old man’s overreaction did make everyone a bit suspicious. Could it really be him?
Lei Yu only grinned and didn’t say anything more. If it really was this old man, one thing for certain is that he had a relationship with Du Chang Hai or someone high up in the Ming Sect.
Lei Yu stared at the old man for a full two minutes without saying a thing. The old man was dripping in sweat that even drenched the clothes he was wearing. He didn’t even dare to look Lei Yu in the eyes. One can imagine there was definitely something fishy going on.
It was not necessary for Lei Yu to say anything more and people will start paying attention to this old man. Since Shangguan Xi Hong had high prestige in the family, he must have a lot of trusted confidants by his side. Once Lei Yu’s words caused doubt within the family, the old man was shortly taken away without hesitation for interrogation.
