âThat sounds like a pretty good idea! Also, I need to ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them all honestly. After that, Iâll think about whether I should use this Ruthless Poison on you!â Chen Hao smirked.
âA-ask quickly, as long as I know the answer, Iâll tell you everything. Just donât kill me!â
Now, Gu Feng just wanted to stay alive. To be honest, he was thoroughly terrified by Chen Haoâs threat of poison. Originally, he had wanted to use his grandmotherâs reputation to scare Chen Hao, but he wasnât afraid at all.
This manâs techniques were extremely ruthless and wicked.
This *sshole!
Gu Feng wished he could slice Chen Hao up into pieces.
He couldnât do anything but tell Chen Hao the secret to understanding the Spirit Flower and how to use the Ghost Flower. He also answered all of Chen Haoâs questions.
âIâve already answered all your questions, and Iâve told you everything you didn't even ask for, too. Now you can let me go, right?â Gu Feng lifted his head and asked Chen Hao.
âLet you go? Sure, weâre even now, but you still broke off Xin Xinâs arms! I havenât settled that score with you yet. Thatâs why Iâm still going to give you this Ruthless Poison!â Chen Hao said, laughing.
âMotherf*cker! Chen Hao, how dare you mess with me?â The veins on Gu Fengâs forehead popped as he roared at Chen Hao in anger.
âThatâs right, Iâm messing with you! Did you really think I would let you go? Idiot!â
Chen Hao smiled coldly and jerked his wrist, administering the Ruthless Poison onto Gu Fengâs body.
â*sshole! Iâm going to kill you and cut you to pieces! Get rid of the poison!â Gu Feng struggled as if his life depended on it.
With the amount of rage and terror he was feeling mixed together, Gu Feng had already gone mad.
âGet rid of it? Do you know why itâs called âRuthless Poisonâ?â Chen Hao asked.
âWhy?â
âEven if it isnât the most poisonous among the Secret Poison Arts, itâs the strongest. Why is that? Well, thatâs because thereâs no way of getting rid of it. The Secret Poison Arts only recorded the way to make it, and not its antidote. Thatâs why thereâs no way to cure it! Also, donât channel your Inner Energy. I havenât triggered this poison yet. The moment it senses Inner Energy, it will come into effect on its own.
When that happens, donât blame me! Even if you manage to find a professional to help you get rid of it, you canât use vital Qi to force it out!â Chen Hao laughed.
âHuh? It canât be cured? You... you!â
Gu Feng was so angry that he was shaking. However, he didnât have the guts to say anything else.
He clawed at the soil on the ground. Begging was useless at this point. The poison was already embedded in his body and just one word from Chen Hao would cause it to take effect. Then, he would really die an ugly death.
âYoung Master Chen, Iâve settled everything! Hey, this fellow isnât dead yet?â
Li Ba had returned, and he had already shrunk back to his original form.
He walked over and kicked Gu Feng a couple of times.
âWhy didnât you kill this punk? What are you keeping him around for?â Li Ba asked.
âHeâs still useful no matter what. Iâll seal off his Inner Energy and throw him into the dungeon later. Li Ba, stay in the shanty town and protect Li Mumu and the villagers. Even though Iâve already asked Gu Feng to send a message to divert the attention of the underlings of the Gu family, itâs better to be safe than sorry. Stay here,â Chen Hao said.
âOkay, Young Master Chen. Where will you be going then?â
âI need to go find Su Ruoxi. Iâll go alone!â
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he turned and went to look for Li Shuisheng and Li Shuixia first.
âLittle punk. Letâs go, Iâll throw you into the dungeon!â
Li Ba picked up Gu Feng with ease.
Gu Feng was like a little chick, too scared to make a peep.
Back to Chen Hao.
In the afternoon, Li Shuixia contacted Su Ruoxi.
She told Su Ruoxi that someone wanted to meet her.
Su Ruoxi was extremely trusting of Li Shuixia, so she immediately agreed.
Chen Hao, Li Shuisheng and Li Shuixia rushed to Su Ruoxiâs company in Thai City.
Just like Chen Hao had guessed, there was a strong aura all over Su Ruoxi which confirmed that she was the perfect vessel for the lady in white.
âMister Chen? Li Shuixia said that you needed me for something. Whatever could that be?â
Su Ruoxi looked to be around twenty-seven or so. Her skin was as smooth as jade and her features were regal. At a first glance, she gave off the vibe of a successful female director.
âI need you to follow me to a place, and I promise that I will only borrow your time for three days. Of course, this is an exchange. Li Shuixia told me that your company is in financial distress. In regards to those financial matters, I can pay you back ten, twenty times more!â Chen Hao did not beat around the bush.
Su Ruoxi knitted her eyebrows and forced out a smile. âIâm sorry, Mister Chen Hao. I donât understand what youâre trying to say. Borrow me? Iâm afraid that wonât be possible!â
Su Ruoxi immediately turned him down.
She was extremely confused. Who exactly was this dignified-looking young man? Was it even possible to âborrowâ a person? Besides, she needed an investment of 100 million. Who was he to say that he would pay her ten, twenty times that amount? It wasnât as if he could give her over a billion, right?
Right then and there, she had labelled Chen Hao as unreliable.
Su Ruoxi was just about to stand up and end this strange conversation.
âYoung Master Chen, you canât go in! Our CEO is meeting guests right now!â
Suddenly, the sounds of arguing could be heard from outside.
âSheâs probably meeting some pretty boy, right? Hmph! Screw off, I want to meet Su Ruoxi!â
The man named Young Master Chen swung open the door violently.
Behind him, a bodyguard followed closely. There was also a man who looked to be sixty or so. He had a goatee and was wearing Ancient Chinese robes and a felt cap. To an outsider, it would have looked as if a filming crew had showed up.
âSu Ruoxi, your subordinates are way too unreasonable. How dare they block my way? Donât they know Iâve already arranged a marriage with their General Manager Su?â Young Master Chen said carelessly, his hands stuck in his pockets.
âChen Tielin, who has agreed to marry you? Youâre crazy! Does my office look like the kind of place you can come and go as and when you like?â Su Ruoxi said angrily.
Chen Hao stood by one side. When he saw Su Ruoxiâs expression of disgust, Chen Hao knew immediately that Su Ruoxi was not interested at all in Chen Tielin.
âSu Ruoxi, why donât you listen to my reason for coming to find you so urgently first? I went off to look for great doctors to heal your motherâs serious illness. This is Doctor Zhen, Zhen Yaoming. Your mom has been in a vegettive state for several years, right? Doctor Zhen has treated and cured many vegetative patients!â Chen Tielin introduced.
When Su Ruoxi heard this, emotion flashed across her face.
At first, she had wanted to angrily chase Chen Tielin out. However, when she heard what he had to say, she swallowed back her words.
âHim?â Su Ruoxi looked at Doctor Zhen.
âMiss Su, Young Master Chen tried really hard and begged me for a long time before I agreed to leave the mountain!â Doctor Zhen placed one hand behind his back as he stroked his goatee with the other, acting as though he was a mythical hero.
âSu Ruoxi, now you know what I feel for you, right? Also, who is this pretty boy?â After Chen Tielin finished speaking, he turned and looked at Chen Hao with eyes full of hostility.
