Chapter 413: Chapter 413 The Drug Lord’s Lair (3)_1

So, the gunfight had been going on for such a long time. Situ Xin and his people had been injured, but there were no deaths. On the drug lord’s side, however, a significant number of his men had already fallen.

Seeing this, the drug lord could not sit still any longer, and he finally made his move.

The drug lord, holding his gun, fired a burst of shots towards Situ Xin and his group. The drug lord’s marksmanship was much more accurate than that of his subordinates. But with Situ Xin there, even his accurate shots went awry. The drug lord had thought that his gunfire would take down a large number of his opponents.

But the situation turned out to be the exact opposite. His burst of gunfire didn’t harm anyone on the other side. Instead, more of his men fell.

The drug lord was not stupid, and at this point, he realized something was amiss. He glanced at Situ Xin, who was sitting on Baibai. He guessed internally that this must be related to Situ Xin.

A chilling light flashed in the drug lord’s eyes as he looked at Situ Xin. He discarded the gun in his hand and threw a smoke grenade towards Situ Che and his group instead.

In an instant, the area was enveloped in smoke, shrouding everyone in thick fog. Everyone’s vision was blocked at once.

The drug lord took advantage of the smoke to move swiftly towards Situ Che and his group. In his hand, he held a syringe. The drug lord moved quickly. By the time Situ Xin noticed something was wrong and rushed over, it was already too late. The needle from the syringe in the drug lord’s hand had already pierced into Loo Jie’s arm.

Situ Xin flew over with a kick, not holding back and using all his strength. The drug lord was sent flying by Situ Xin’s kick, landing heavily on the ground. Situ Xin’s kick had hit the drug lord’s chest, and at that moment, the drug lord felt an excruciating pain in his chest, before coughing up blood.

Situ Xin didn’t look at the drug lord, but instead ran urgently to Loo Jie’s side, pulling out the syringe from his arm. "Brother Jie, how are you?"

"I’m fine," Loo Jie said, claiming to be fine, but his voice was unstable.

"Cough, cough. He’s been poisoned with my specially concocted toxin. Without my antidote, he will die in agony," announced the drug lord. Hearing Situ Xin’s reference to Loo Jie, a sense of relief flashed through the drug lord’s mind. He also schemed internally about how to use Loo Jie to control Situ Xin.

As the drug lord spoke, the poison began to take effect in Loo Jie’s body. Loo Jie clenched his teeth, enduring the pain coursing through him and preventing himself from moaning in pain. The sweat that had emerged on his back due to enduring the pain soaked through his clothes.

Situ Che, who was beside Loo Jie, noticed something was wrong and came over with a worried expression, supporting the staggering Loo Jie and asking anxiously, "Ah Jie, how are you?"

"I, I’m fine." Loo Jie wanted to give Situ Che a smile, to show he was all right. But his pale face, coupled with a smile that was hardly better than crying, made Situ Che and the others feel a pang of sadness.

"Drug lord, hand over the antidote to me," Gao Chengzhou demanded, pointing a gun at the drug lord’s head with a vicious tone.

"Heh heh, unfortunately, I don’t have the antidote for this poison. What I have here is just a temporary solution to neutralize the poison in his body. This poison is going to be with him for life. He’ll have to rely on the antidote in my hands to survive. Little girl, how about it? As long as you obediently do as I say and work for me, I guarantee to deliver the antidote to your brother on time every month," the drug lord said with a sinister smile, clutching his aching chest and coughing before speaking to Situ Xin.

Hearing the drug lord’s words, Loo Jie struggled to tell Situ Xin not to agree to the drug lord’s demands. He would rather die in pain than let Situ Xin work for the drug lord. But the pain in his body was intensifying, and he could no longer speak.

"Baibai, go, keep an eye on that drug lord," Situ Xin instructed without responding to the drug lord, asking Baibai to watch the drug lord so he couldn’t escape. At the same time, she took out the antidote she had concocted the previous evening from her space and stuffed it into Loo Jie’s mouth.

Situ Xin felt incredibly relieved at that moment, thankful that she had idly taken some people’s blood the night before to see if there was any connection between the poison in their bodies and the medicine she had concocted. The drug lord’s poison actually had many similarities with Situ Xin’s medicine powder. Except for a few herbs in Situ Xin’s powder that were not available elsewhere, the rest of the ingredients were almost identical to those in the drug lord’s poison.

Following the antidote formula from the Jade Token in her mind and adding her own insights through continuous experimentation, Situ Xin had indeed created an antidote for the drug lord’s poison—not just a temporary relief from the pain, but a complete cure for the poison in the victim’s body.

"Cough cough, I’m telling you, it’s useless; there is no complete cure for this poison," the drug lord said with a schadenfreude tone as he saw Situ Xin administer the antidote to Loo Jie.

"Damn, if I didn’t have to bring you back, I really would want to shoot you right now," Gao Chengzhou said fiercely, jabbing the gun against the drug lord’s head.

Meanwhile, Baibai, who had been sitting next to the drug lord keeping an eye on him, now seated itself unceremoniously on the drug lord’s chest. This caused the drug lord, who had already been kicked in the chest by Situ Xin, to cough repeatedly. Worried that it might accidentally kill the drug lord by sitting on him, Baibai reluctantly moved away after the drug lord had coughed violently a few times.

"Baby, is there really no way to completely cure the poison in Brother Jie’s body?" Situ Che showed a rare expression of urgency. At this point, after taking the antidote, the pain in Loo Jie’s body had started to subside, and his complexion looked a bit better.

"Baby, I’m fine; you must never listen to this drug lord or work for him. Even if I die, I would never agree to it," Loo Jie said earnestly, looking at Situ Xin, desperate to speak as soon as he was able.

"Brother Jie, Brother Che, both of you don’t panic; you have to give me a chance to speak," Situ Xin said impatiently, having been interrupted by them just as she was about to talk.
