Chapter 662 — An Incomparable Poison of the Ages
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Poison... an incomparable poison of the ages... Did such a poison truly exist? If it did, how had these children been poisoned? Who was the hand behind it? Was it deliberate, or accidental? Guan Xuewen could not fathom it. At this moment he was racking his memory, trying to summon up that ancient text he had once read, searching for some method of detoxification...
Yet to no avail. Despite racking his very brain cells, Guan Xuewen could not recall any comparable remedy... Must he truly give up? These were twenty-eight children. Guan Xuewen could not bear to watch them die like this.
Suddenly, a figure surfaced in Guan Xuewen's mind! Guan Xuewen took out his phone and dialed a number. At this moment, this was the only person he could turn to for help; there was no other way!
……………………
Wei Zhao gathered his clothes and phone, then left An Liwen's kidney harvesting syndicate headquarters.
An Liwen's headquarters was located out in the suburbs, where vehicles rarely passed. If Wei Zhao wanted to get back to school, his only option was to walk to the junction near the outskirts and catch a bus or a taxi from there.
While waiting for a taxi, Wei Zhao took out his phone to check the time, only to discover several missed calls on the screen!
Wei Zhao suddenly recalled that before pretending to be unconscious, he had been afraid his phone might ring and give him away, and that An Liwen might pick it up and answer, so he had switched it to vibrate mode. After leaving the kidney harvesting syndicate headquarters, he had forgotten to switch it back.
Checking the call log, he saw that every single call had come from Shen Yushu. He had no idea what she could want, and she had actually called more than a dozen times! Could it be that the young miss was looking for him? Thinking of the sharp confrontation between Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi at noon, Wei Zhao's heart lurched. Had the young miss and Tang Zhi fallen out again?
At this thought, Wei Zhao hurriedly called her back.
The sudden ringtone startled Shen Yushu, and it startled Gu Pengzhan and Uncle Qing as well, who had been sitting in silence all this while.
Gu Mengyao took out her phone, glanced at the caller ID, saw that it was Wei Zhao calling, and hastily answered. "Brother Arrow, where did you run off to? Why won't you answer your phone? Sister Yaoyao is about to die... Wu wu wu wu, you wouldn't even answer when we called. I've decided I don't want to be your friend anymore!"
Gu Mengyao was dying? Wei Zhao's heart nearly stopped. She had been perfectly fine when he left, and he had only been gone a few hours. How could she be dying? What on earth had happened in the meantime?
"Xiaoshu, don't panic. What happened to Yaoyao? Where are you?" Wei Zhao asked.
"We're in the emergency room at the Second People's Hospital. Come quickly, Brother Arrow! If Sister Yaoyao dies, I won't want to live either!" Shen Yushu was frantic beyond measure, but now that she had reached Wei Zhao, a glimmer of hope rose within her. In Shen Yushu's mind, Brother Arrow seemed capable of anything.
"All right, I'll be there right away!" Wei Zhao hurriedly flagged down a taxi, gave the driver the address, then said to Shen Yushu: "Xiaoshu, I'm on my way to the hospital now. Can you tell me what happened to Yaoyao?"
