Chapter 596: Chapter 596 - Poisoning

Translator: Lonelytree

I looked at the bottles in Lu Heng’s hand. “Do you want to drink this? Or do you want Mr. Li to concoct some for you?”

Banxia kneeled on the ground and looked at me in horror. “Miss… Miss… I, I was wrong!”

She began to kowtow.

T ignored her and said to Lu Heng, “Get him out of here. He’s an eyesore! Don’t let him die in vain. Make the best use of your talents.”

“Yes!” Lu Heng picked up the man and left.

Banxia was dumbfounded. “Miss…”

At this moment, she should be truly afraid.

I untied the rope for her. I patted her shoulder and smiled. “Don’t be afraid. What’s there to be afraid of? At worst, it’s just death. We have already faced death on the island. Why would you suddenly fear death now?”

Banxia was at a loss for words. She knelt there and didn’t dare to move.

I sat down on the chair in front of Banxia and sighed. I looked at the door in a daze.

I muttered, “Banxia, what was your original name?”

Banxia was stunned for a moment before she looked at me in fear.

I smiled bitterly. “Like you said, I saved you. Without me, you would have died. I named you Banxia. But now, I realize that it should all be a show. She put on that show to plant you beside me, right? I’m such an idiot.”

Banxia lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

I said indifferently, “Alright, if you don’t want to say it, then forget it.”

“Why isn’t Mr. Li here yet?” I shouted towards the door.

Banxia’s entire body trembled.

“Tm here. I’m here. What’s the rush? I’m already an old man. How fast do you want me to walk?” Mr. Li walked in quickly and complained while holding the two glass bottles in his hands.

“Mr. Li, do you have the results?” I asked him.

“Yes, yes. Who do you plan to feed them too? They can be drunk directly. After the person has been fed, give them to me. I will make good use of their body.” Mr. Li ran over excitedly. “These are very precious things!”

I couldn’t help but stand up and take two steps back. I pointed at him and said, “Please keep a distance from me. I don’t want to see them.”

Mr. Li chuckled and stopped. He raised the bottles in his hand and said, “It’s alright. You’re already immune to this thing. But, thanks to them, I know how to cure the poison in your body now.”

“Oh?” I looked at him in disbelief.

“Impossible! Impossible! This is a poison, not an antidote!” Banxia suddenly said.

Only then did Mr. Li turn his head to look at her.

In the next second, he reached out his hand to pinch Banxia’s chin as fast as lightning and poured a mouthful of medicine into her mouth. He closed her mouth very neatly and waited for her to swallow before he released his hand.

Banxia choked and tried hard to vomit the medicine out. She even put her finger into her mouth to simulate a gap reflex.

‘Mr. Li shook his head. “It’s no use. Don’t waste your energy. You won’t die anyway.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Banxia’s tears streamed down her face. “Miss will have someone to take care of her if she goes dumb. But I won’t!”

Dumb?! looked at her and then at Mr. Li.

Mr. Li wasn’t surprised at all. “You’re still not dumb yet at least.”

“What does she mean by that?” I asked.

“The medicine is meant to trigger amnesia.” Mr. Li replied.

Banxia couldn’t get herself to vomit. She panted and fell to the ground, he glared at me. “Mrs. Ma Ji isn’t here. I don’t have the medicine to maintain your amnesia, and this old man is causing so much trouble for me. After you stop taking the medicine, and after more of your old friends appear, it’s only a

matter of time before you regain your memory. I’ll have to drug you again before your memory comes back.. Now, do you understand?”
