Chapter 1240: Chapter 1244: Obviously, He Has Something Going On

He felt as if venomous insects were scuttling and biting through his veins, the discomfort was extreme.

Yet he endured it without making a sound.

He didn’t reply, but Gu Chi could tell from his sweat-drenched clothes that he was definitely in a bad way.

Gu Chi grew anxious, “Young Master, I’ve already sent someone to buy perilla. It should be back soon.”

Gu Junzhu got up, “Let’s go home first.”

He didn’t know how Ye Xiaobei was doing.

Although the doctor had said there was nothing wrong now, he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, so he was still worried.

“Alright, then I’ll have them bring the perilla straight home,” Gu Chi followed behind him, “Young Master, what about that woman?”

“Bring her back,” Gu Junzhu said coldly, “I have questions to ask.”

“Yes, at the very least, we need to know who sent her!” Gu Chi said angrily, “Once I find out who’s behind all this, I’ll make sure they get a taste of the ten most brutal tortures before dismemberment!”

Seeing Gu Junzhu in distress, Gu Chi felt an urgent rage, wishing he could take his place and hating the instigator behind it all.

“Young Master…” he was about to say something more when his phone rang.

He answered the call, had a quick chat with the other party, and after hanging up, he hurriedly caught up with Gu Junzhu, “Young Master, we’ve found out how the Young Madam was poisoned! It was in the two bottles of Cordyceps Donkey-hide Gelatine Soup that Master Fei brought! While you were working in the study, Master Fei prepared a cup of the soup for the Young Madam to drink.”

Gu Junzhu snorted coldly, “That idiot!”

Gu Chi said, “It couldn’t have been Master Fei who harmed the Young Madam, right? The Cordyceps must have been tampered with; Master Fei probably didn’t know.”

Gu Junzhu hummed, “Although Xie Jinfei is rather foolish, he wouldn’t harm Beibei.”

Gu Chi said, “Let’s go back and ask Master Fei where the Cordyceps soup came from, who handled it, maybe we could find some clues.”

“Don’t be too optimistic,” Gu Junzhu said indifferently, “I have a premonition that this time we’re up against the most powerful opponent in history.”

“Really?” Gu Chi was skeptical, “I think that woman seemed quite easy to deceive.”

“But that woman came with a resolve to die,” Gu Junzhu said flatly, “A person who can make another willing to die for them should never be underestimated, no matter the time or place.”

“You think that woman was resolved to die?” Gu Chi frowned, “If that’s true, then if we bring her back, wouldn’t she just remain silent under torture, not giving us the confession we seek?”

“No matter,” Gu Junzhu sneered, “If we can’t get a confession, just make her death more difficult, let her suffer a slow demise.”

Gu Chi nodded, “Understood, Young Master!”

How dare anyone attack their Young Master, he would make sure she suffered the greatest torments before her death!

The car sped along and entered the Gu family estate.

As the car slowed down, Gu Cheng spoke, “Young Master, the Young Madam has come.”

The car stopped, and Gu Junzhu got out. Ye Xingbei ran up to him and flung herself into his arms, examining him nervously, “Are you alright?”

In the courtyard light, seeing Gu Junzhu’s face pale as snow and his hair soaked with cold sweat, she realized she shouldn’t have asked that question.

Clearly, something was wrong.

Ye Xingbei’s tears flowed instantly, tightening her embrace around his neck, “How could this happen? How do you feel? Why do you look so pale?”

Gu Junzhu patted her reassuringly, “Let’s talk inside.”

Xie Jinfei and Qiao Zui stood behind Ye Xingbei, and as Gu Junzhu led Ye Xingbei into the living room, the two approached to greet Gu Junzhu.
