This situation was even more serious than Su Qian had imagined.
However, if Lao Chen had really become a cripple because of his serious injuries, then logically speaking, his wounds would not have been unable to heal for a long time and wouldn’t have festered.
From this, it could be seen that there must be some special reason behind this.
Su Qian was deep in thought. Her pensive demeanor caught the attention of Mu Shui and found her at a loss for words.
Mu Shui laughed even more triumphantly. He crossed his arms and looked at Su Qian arrogantly. He sneered and asked, “How is it Eldest Miss? Lao Chen’s leg was hopeless! You see, 1 told you so, but you didn’t believe me and insisted on challenging me! Let me be frank with you. Lao Chen’s leg was seriously injured back then. His muscles were damaged and can’t be healed.”
Lao Chen heard Mu Shui’s words, but it seemed as though he didn’t hear them at all. Instead, he stared straight at Su Qian.
Su Qian raised her head and looked at Mu Shui coldly, “I am a doctor, and I have my own judgment.”
Mu Shui was not frightened by Su Qian’s anger at all. He only shrugged his shoulders. “Hmph, 1 was just reminding you out of kindness, but you didn’t appreciate it. Fine, if you don’t know how to recognize good intentions. I won’t argue with you.”
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes coldly. He was not angry when Ximen Ran pointed at his nose and berated him just now. But now, facing Mu Shui’s aggressiveness, his deep eyes immediately flashed with a bloodthirsty glint. He pushed his wheelchair forward but was stopped by Su Qian.
Su Qian was full of confidence as she gave Xiao Yan a signal with her eyes. Her phoenix-like eyes blinked gently, revealing a myriad of emotions. Clearly, she was confident.
Xiao Yan knew that Su Qian didn’t want him to interfere, so he had no choice but to restrain himself and stare deeply at Su Qian’s figure.
Su Qian immediately took Lao Chen’s pulse. Under Mu Shui’s increasingly disdainful gaze, she chuckled and said, “Mr. Chen, you’re not injured, you’re poisoned.”
Lao Chen and Mu Shui were stunned.
Especially Mu Shui. His reaction seemed to be even more exaggerated than Lao Chen’s. Panic flashed in his eyes as if he was afraid of being noticed by others. He quickly lowered his head to hide the unnatural look on his face.
However, Mu Shui avoided the notice of others, but he couldn’t escape Xiao Yan’s eyes. Every move he made was captured by Xiao Yan’s eyes.
However, Xiao Yan pretended not to see it and continued to look at Su Qian with tender eyes.
“Poisoned? Why was 1 poisoned?” Lao Chen asked with a puzzled frown.
Su Qian shook her head, “I don’t know how Mr. Chen was poisoned, but I can confirm that you have indeed been poisoned. Moreover, I have a way to help you detoxify and heal. Do you want to…”
“I do, 1 definitely want to be treated!” Lao Chen’s eyes, which had been lifeless like stagnant water, sparked with hope once again. “Miss, you’re the only one who said that 1 can still be saved in all these years! As long as you can cure me, I am willing to work for you in the future to repay your kindness!”
“I’m very grateful that Mr. Chen can sell me the Dragon-repelling Fruit.” Su Qian narrowed her eyes and smiled.
She could tell that Lao Chen’s ident.i.ty was not simple. Apart from other reasons, the poison he was inflicted with was something that, other than the person who had poisoned him, there were not many people on the entire continent who could cure him.
Moreover, the person who poisoned Lao Chen was vicious. This kind of poison could make Lao Chen’s wound ache day and night, enough to torture him to death. However, he could still persist until now, which showed his tenacity.
“Then 1 wonder when Miss can start the treatment?” Lao Chen asked excitedly..
