Chapter 489: Chapter 490: Jiang Meng Poisoned?_1

By the time everything was on the right track, Jiang Meng could finally rest.

Xiao Chen, on the other hand, had always been quite idle.

During this period, apart from occasionally giving Jiang Meng some advice, he had only made a few phone calls and shared a few cups of coffee with someone.

Despite taking great care of Jiang Meng throughout this time, excessive fatigue still caused her to fall ill.

She had a high fever of over thirty-nine degrees.

Her whole body was weakened.

Xiao Chen was filled with self-reproach, regretting that he hadn’t taken proper care of Jiang Meng. Despite his presence as a divine doctor, Jiang Meng had still gotten sick.

This really shouldn’t have happened.

"Husband, what are you doing? It’s just a fever. I’ll be fine after some sleep,"

Jiang Meng said with a wry smile, "Your self-blame makes it seem like I’ve committed some terrible mistake.

And aren’t you a divine doctor? Don’t you know that it’s normal for a person to get sick a few times a year? Not getting sick would actually be a problem."

"Just rest easy. This is the best special care ward in Hua Xian Hospital.

With Hua Xian personally taking care of you, you’ll recover quickly.

But your body is weak, I need to find some tonic medicine for you."

Xiao Chen left the ward.

Hua Xian was waiting outside.

"Did you do the tests? Is it as I suspected?"

Once outside, his expression turned cold instantly.

"It’s the same,"

Hua Xian nodded and said, "I couldn’t believe that in this day and age, someone would still use such an ancient poison.

Your sister-in-law has indeed been poisoned, but thanks to the herbal decoction you gave her before, she has developed a certain resistance to the poison.

So the symptoms are just a fever."

"Is there a way to cure the poison?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"To be honest, I’ve only seen this poison in books. A cure is possible, but it requires a special medical herb called ’Golden Silver Ten-Fragrance Herb.’

This herb is extremely rare and cannot be successfully cultivated artificially.

So it’s very hard to find."

Hua Xian sighed, "Your sister-in-law is not in any life-threatening danger for now, as she has a strong constitution.

Luckily, you, boss, are highly skilled."

"Surgery can’t solve it either?"

Xiao Chen inquired.

"No,"

Hua Xian shook her head, "And surgical methods are too damaging. If we can find the Golden Silver Ten-Fragrance Herb, that would definitely be the preferred option."

"Understood, I’ll find a way to get the herb. You take good care of Jiang Meng.

With Ren Jing here providing protection, there should be no issues,"

Having said that, Xiao Chen took out his phone and dialed Hong Yi’s number, "Find out for me, no matter what it takes, who the poisoner is.

I’ll make them regret being born into this world!"

"Yes!"

Heavenly King and Jianghu Teahouse were in charge of finding the poisoner.

Xiao Chen was planning to look for the medical herbs.

With this type of ancient poison, medical herbs were a better way to drive out the toxin, as there had been precedents.

Modern medical techniques simply couldn’t handle it.

"If boss is looking for the Golden Silver Ten-Fragrance Herb, you might try your luck at the Ten-Fragrance Building!"

Hua Xian said, "The Ten-Fragrance Building is located in the most prosperous area of Tianhai City.

It’s said to have a very powerful background.

The reason why it’s called the Ten-Fragrance Building is that almost every three years it uses the Golden Silver Ten-Fragrance Herb as an ingredient to prepare a luxurious Ten-Fragrance Banquet.

At that time, the scent is heavenly.

The whole street can smell the fragrance.

And the price for one Ten-Fragrance Banquet is ten million!

Ordinary people simply can’t afford it.

Even the wealthy can’t eat it often."

"Alright, I’ll go check it out!"

Xiao Chen wouldn’t give up as long as there was hope.

Although it seemed that not curing the poison would not affect Jiang Meng’s normal life, it was ultimately a hidden danger.

"Brother-in-law, I’ll go with you!"

Xia Muxue had naturally come as well, Jiang Meng being sick and hospitalized, she couldn’t just stay away.

Even if she was fond of fun, she understood the gravity of the situation.

"Let’s go!"

Xiao Chen didn’t object and took Xia Muxue and Ghost Blade to the Ten-Fragrance Building.

The dishes here were indeed very expensive.

However, it wasn’t much for him.

Despite lacking appetite, he still randomly ordered some dishes. To inquire about things from others, having a meal was necessary.

He couldn’t just force the information out of them.

Although he had the power, he didn’t like doing things that way.

Just then, a commotion arose from outside the Ten-Fragrance Building.

A trendy-dressed youth entered.

His whole being exuded arrogance.

Many bodyguards followed behind him, all of them flattering the young man.

Seeing the youth, many inside the Ten-Fragrance Building showed a look of fear and even bowed their heads to avoid his gaze.

"Young Master Guo, how was the taste of that university student today? She looked quite pure.

And she was also very stubborn, a wild mare. Isn’t that what you like the most?"

A bodyguard beside him said with a grin.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad."

Young Master Guo laughed, "In the future, find me more female students like that; I have a taste for them.

It’s a pity though, those female students have too much spirit. It’s not like I didn’t pay her, and yet she jumped off a building.

Such a mess, bad luck!"

Someone died!

A person was ruined to death by him!

And he was still laughing, not taking it to heart at all.

Moreover, he was talking about it openly in public, as if he wasn’t afraid of anything.

Many people in the Ten-Fragrance Building were grinding their teeth.

But no one spoke up.

Obviously, they all knew that Young Master Guo was not someone they could afford to provoke.

"Who is this person?"

Xiao Chen’s eyes held a trace of coldness.

He didn’t like to meddle in others’ business, but seeing such a person, he really couldn’t quell his anger.

Such people shouldn’t be alive.

"The young master of the Ten-Fragrance Building, Guo Baokun."

Ghost Blade answered, "Their Guo Family holds a high position in Tianhai as well, being one of the ten major families.

They have multiple businesses in Tianhai, mainly in the catering industry.

In that industry, the Guo Family is definitely at the overlord level.

Even the once four major families are not as good as them.

This Young Master Guo, genuinely more disgusting than even Wu Pengtian.

He likes to harm young girls.

No one knows how many female students he has harmed to death."

"So that’s how it is. The Wu Family controls the entertainment industry, while the Guo Family controls the catering business.

These ten major families practically have a monopoly over the various industries in Tianhai City.

If they were doing good deeds, it would be one thing, but they only know how to abuse their power, and are truly good for nothing.

Completely rotten."

A cold light flickered in Xiao Chen’s eyes, sooner or later, he was going to clean up these families.

Now, the Xinmeng Group’s headquarters had already moved to Tianhai City.

This was also to prepare for Xinmeng Group to expand overseas in the future.

However, although the environment in Tianhai City had changed somewhat, it still couldn’t compare to Linhai or Jiangcheng.

Xiao Chen knew he still had to work hard.

"Young Master Guo, what would you like to eat?"

Seeing Guo Baokun appear, the manager of the Ten-Fragrance Building personally ran out, leading Young Master Guo into a private room while smilingly asking.

"Move!"

Guo Baokun pushed the manager aside and then walked straight towards Xiao Chen’s direction.

In his eyes, there was only Xia Muxue.

He had seen many women, but Xia Muxue was definitely very special.

Lively and cute, full of youthful energy!

Even better than the average female student!

After all, having been around many women, Guo Baokun had developed his own set of appraising skills.

"Slap!"

Guo Baokun reached Xiao Chen’s table, took out a cheque directly, which had one million written on it.
