Chapter 157: Chapter 0157: Family Crisis
Ouyang Die did not keep Chu Ge waiting too long; roughly five minutes later, a red Audi came to a sudden stop in front of the villa.
"No way!"
As the car door was just opening, Chu Ge suddenly smelled a unique scent in the air, a scent so faint and subtle that ordinary people wouldn’t even be able to detect it.
It carried a hint of putrid stench, similar to... the odor that emanated from Mr. Ouyang’s body when the poison was forced out of his system, almost identical, but much weaker.
Ouyang Die climbed out of the car, still dressed in her simple casual apparel, with her long hair tied into a ponytail behind her head, displaying a valiant and spirited bearing. However, her pretty face was as pale as paper, with a strong sickliness to it, and her eyes were also bloodshot, which under the lights outside the villa, made her appear even more wan and haggard.
"What happened to you?"
Seeing Ouyang Die staggering as she walked, Chu Ge quickly approached her and supported her arm.
The moment he touched Ouyang Die’s skin, Chu Ge immediately sent a stream of True Yuan into her body through her pores, and his eyebrows furrowed deeply in an instant.
Indeed, the toxin inside Ouyang Die’s body was identical to the one that was in Mr. Ouyang’s body initially! It’s just that she was poisoned more recently, so the toxin hadn’t completely evaporated yet, allowing her to barely move.
"Mr. Chu, don’t worry about me!" Seeing that Chu Ge seemed ready to help her into the villa, Ouyang Die shook her head, her voice weak yet resolute, "Mr. Chu, please accompany me to the Ouyang family. Many people there are in the same situation! Doctors from all the major hospitals in Shanghai have been called, but none can do anything. Now, you are our last hope!"
"What?" Chu Ge was shocked.
This toxin was not naturally occurring, but man-made! This meant that someone audacious enough had dared to poison the entire Ouyang family!
And as far as he knew, this toxin came from a hidden Ancient Martial Sect.
"Ghost Poison Sect? Is this the first declaration of war you’ve sent me?" Chu Ge muttered under his breath, a glint of chilling sharpness flashing across his eyes.
"Mr. Chu, as long as you can save the Ouyang family this time, from now on, our family will unconditionally become your forever backers!" Seeing Chu Ge muttering with his head down, Ouyang Die mistook his reaction for reluctance, quickly saying in an urgent tone, with an unconscious hint of pleading in her voice.
"Don’t worry, I have a way."
Chu Ge’s words revitalized Ouyang Die’s spirits, but before she could say anything more, Chu Ge suddenly grabbed her arm, "But you’re on the verge of collapse, I’ll help you expel the toxin first."
Chu Ge’s strength was now only a hair’s breadth away from the Innate Realm. If it wasn’t for his deliberate suppression of his own cultivation level, in pursuit of a perfect Innate breakthrough, he would have made the breakthrough long ago. The robustness of the True Yuan in his body was now no less formidable than that of the Innate realm!
Therefore, with his increase in strength, expelling this toxin naturally didn’t require as grand a show as it did initially.
Ouyang Die had hardly had time to react when she just felt two warm currents flowing into her body through her arms. If one could see through her at that moment, they would notice two roaring white streams, like the Yangtze River, rushing up through her arms, and wherever the streams touched the black substance, it melted away instantly like snow under the blazing sun.
Ouyang Die, though unable to see the situation inside her body, could feel it. She sensed the piercingly cold air that nearly froze her solid rapidly disappearing, and the energy that had felt sucked out of her returned to her body!
In just a matter of tens of seconds, a puff of black mist suddenly rose from the top of Ouyang Die’s head, carrying a strong stench of blood, and was dispersed by the night breeze.
"This..."
Ouyang Die swung her arms subconsciously and found that her body had indeed returned to its original state!
"What are you standing around for?" Chu Ge was already sitting in the back seat of the car by this time, looking at Ouyang Die who was still outside, and said, "Hurry up and take me to the Ouyang Family."
"Oh, okay!" Ouyang Die quickly recovered from her shock and hurried into the car.
The red Audi emitted a low roar, then disappeared into the night with a trail of exhaust.
Meanwhile, in the villa on the second floor, Mu Bingtong stood in front of the window until the taillights of the Audi were completely obscured by darkness, then she slightly furrowed her brows and drew the curtains.
...
Although it was already night, the Ouyang family’s estate was many times livelier than during the day. Numerous cars with flashing red and blue lights surrounded the entire estate. Countless people in white lab coats were bustling inside and out of the estate, and a few were even seen wearing a set of biohazard suits.
The Audi stopped at the entrance of the estate, and Ouyang Die got out of the car first: "Uncle Zhang!"
A group of people were gathered up ahead, and in the center was Dean Zhang Chenggong. He clearly paused when he saw Ouyang Die: "Ah, Miss Ouyang, looking at your complexion, it seems..."
"Yes, I’ve recovered!" Ouyang Die gave an answer that Zhang Chenggong had not dared to say. Upon hearing this, his body visibly shook, and the people gathered around him also looked utterly horrified: "What happened?"
Not long before, the entire Ouyang family had suddenly been struck by a crisis resembling a severe contagious disease, with everyone in the family falling ill. The worst cases showed people’s skin turning black, and some had even begun vomiting black blood.
Every doctor and expert in Shanghai had been summoned, yet none could identify the cause of the illness. In the Ancient Martial World, some who knew the reason chose to stay hidden, not daring to show their faces. The matter involved was too terrifying for them to handle – they dared not provoke it!
"I’ve brought Mr. Chu over!"
Before Ouyang Die could finish speaking, Chu Ge had already descended from the car: "Dean Zhang, does everyone inside have the same symptoms?"
Seeing Chu Ge, Zhang Chenggong visibly relaxed. Logically, such a significant issue shouldn’t hinge all hope on just a young man, but in this moment, there was no better option left.
"Miss Ouyang Die, was it you who cured her?" Zhang Chenggong didn’t answer Chu Ge’s question but looked at Ouyang Die and asked.
"That’s correct." There was nothing to hide, so Chu Ge nodded. Ouyang Die added from the side: "It only took a few seconds!"
"A few seconds..." Zhang Chenggong took a sharp breath in. A major problem that had all hospitals in Shanghai at a loss, solved by Chu Ge in just a matter of seconds?
