“Yes.” Mo Zhu nodded.

After a pause, seeing Lu Zheng and Huo Xuan’s puzzled expressions, she raised her eyes and added, “This new type of hybrid poison has actually been developed many years ago. It combines the toxic properties of several top-notch toxins. As the cost is high, it’s usually not easily used.”

“I didn’t expect to find it on Old Master Lu’s body this time. It seems like your Lu family has been targeted by someone with ill intentions since a long time ago. By the way, this poison will spread through the skin and directly affect one’s health. When you instruct the servants to take care of Old Master Lu, remember to take good protective measures.”

Upon hearing MO Zhu’s words, the two of them looked at each other in disbelief. In fact, many years ago, there had been cases of poisoning with a new type of mixed poison in Beijing. However, the person who was poisoned was in extreme pain and within a few days, he could not endure the pain and committed suicide. Therefore, after discovering that there was such a poison in his body, they had only hastily resolved the case. In addition, there had been no second case for so many years, so no one took this matter to heart.

He did not expect that after so many years, this poison had actually been implanted in the old master of the Lu family. With the old master’s status and the people he could usually interact with, if it wasn’t done by one of the Lu family’s own, the mastermind behind this must have a high status.

Fluo Xuan frowned slightly. Thinking of the Heart-Devouring Poison he had been poisoned with in the past, his eyes darkened as he asked, “Xiao Zhu, is this poison related to the Heart-Devouring Poison?”

When MO Zhu heard this, she lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before analyzing lightly, “From the source of the poison, although the new poison in Old Master Lu’s body is mixed with many types of poison, none of these poison belongs to the same sect as the Heart-Devouring Poison. However, with so many poisons appearing at the same time recently, I’m afraid it’s not a good thing.”

First, Zhang Fen and Fluo Xuan were poisoned. Then, Feng Yu was plotted against. Then, it was Gao Qing from the Gao family. Now, there was another old man from the Lu family. Although she didn’t know which family had been secretly developing poison to control everything, MO Zhu was certain that that person’s motive was definitely not as simple as just taking their lives.

After MO Zhu finished speaking, Lu Zheng seemed to have thought of something. He took a step closer to the girl and asked worriedly, “Ms. MO, according to you, are we unable to have physical contact with the old master in the short term?”

MO Zhu nodded and raised her eyebrows as she looked at Lu Zheng. She glanced at the phone screen from the corner of her eye and said calmly, “Not to mention that we won’t be able to have physical contact with him for the time being, if your old master still doesn’t receive treatment, the Lu family won’t have a chance to have contact with him in your lifetime.”

Thinking that five minutes was about to pass, Lu Zheng gritted his teeth and looked up at MO Zhu tightly. He asked in a low voice, “Ms. MO, if I’m willing to take out all the assets of the Lu family as a reward, how confident are you in curing my old master?”

Upon hearing this, MO Zhu touched her chin with interest. “I can’t say for sure. After all, Old Master LUI’s condition is special and tricky. You just have to know that I can cure him.”

When Lu Zheng heard this, he nodded after a moment as if he had made up his mind. “Ms. MO, in that case, I agree to your request. Please do your best to save the old man.”

After saying this, Lu Zheng recalled that there was nothing wrong when he interacted with him previously. He frowned and asked with a puzzled expression, “Ms. MO, I have something else that I don’t understand. You said that interacting with the old master will affect one’s health, but ever since the old master fell ill, I have been serving him closely. Why don’t I feel any discomfort in my body after so long?” When MO Zhu heard this, she turned to the man angrily and looked at Lu Zheng as if he was a fool. “Do you still need me to explain how many types of poison you have on you? No matter how many types of poison there are that are mixed together in his body, they won’t be as effective as the fusion of poison in your body. It won’t affect you much.
