Chapter 429: Uncle be gentle 06_1

Looking at the data displayed on the screen, Nangong Xu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Seeing his serious expression, Baili Xia became immediately anxious.

Could it be, there’s nothing even Nangong Xu can do?

Has Dongfang Jin’s body already been afflicted by an incurable poison?

“There is no poison.” Seeing through her worry, Nangong Xu suddenly said.

“What…

do you mean?” No poison?

Then, why does he look so grave?

“No poison is even worse, understand?”

Nangong Xu turned to look at her.

He didn’t really want to break the bad news to her and scare her, but the situation seemed quite dire.

Baili Xia met his gaze, lost in thought for quite some time.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, and her breathing became erratic.

“You mean, it’s not that there’s no poison, but…

your machine simply can’t detect it?”

Nangong Xu fell silent, and finally, he nodded.

“If you’re sure that Lu Xuening really drugged him, then, that drug is definitely no small matter.”

Machines are rigid, they can’t detect poison, but it doesn’t mean the blood sample is not poisonous.

He believed what Baili Xia had said, but if it were true, then the situation was far more complicated than they’d imagined.

Just who was this Lu Xuening, and how did she get her hands on such a powerful drug?

“I don’t think she lied to me.

The key is, Dongfang Jin truly has forgotten what happened today.”

And what happened a year ago too—he forgets so thoroughly.

Can simple hypnotism really achieve this?

“There is another method we can use to further detect the poison.”

Nangong Xu stood up, walked to the side, and took out his needle pouch.

“I specialize in Chinese medicine.

I also practice Western medicine but I wouldn’t say I’m particularly skilled.”

“So, you’re going to use a hands-on approach from Chinese medicine to detect it?”

Baili Xia also stood up and walked behind him: “Can I help with anything?”

“Not necessary for now.” Placing a set of tools on the table, Nangong Xu started working.

“However, even if I can detect it, I don’t necessarily know what kind of poison it is.”

“I’ve told you, my knowledge on poisons is limited.”

Baili Xia nodded, didn’t say a word, didn’t disturb him, only stood there quietly watching.

Chinese medicine is indeed a profound field of knowledge.

Besides testing poison with a silver needle, Nangong Xu even used his own blood…

She didn’t understand, but saw Nangong Xu prick his arm with a silver needle.

He dabbed a tiny amount of blood on it, then poured medicine from a couple of vials.

He stirred the bloodied needle in the medicine for a few moments, then dipped it into the small blood sample sent by Dongfang Ji.

A dozen seconds later, Nangong Xu pulled the needle out.

This time, not only had Nangong Xu’s forehead furrowed, even Baili Xia’s face changed.

The tip of the silver needle had indeed turned black!

There was definitely poison in Dongfang Jin’s blood sample!

“No wonder the Dongfang Family’s private doctor couldn’t detect anything wrong with Dongfang Jin throughout the entire year.”

Baili Xia clenched her fists, biting her lip hard.

Who taught Lu Xuening such advanced poisoning techniques?

A poison that even a machine couldn’t detect, how extraordinarily powerful must it be!

How could she hurt Dongfang Jin in such a way when she claims to love him so much?

Who could bear such a love that hurts the one you love in order to win them over?

“Who was this sister of yours in contact with before?”

Looking at the darkened tip of the needle, a shadowy gleam flickered in the depths of Nangong Xu’s eyes.

There are many poison users in the world.

But those skilled both in poison and hypnotism are scarce.

Who exactly is Lu Xuening?

What is her background?
