Chapter 594: Ruthlessly Poisoning

Yu Su explained word by word, “The Red Poison Powder is a poison refined by Daoists. If consumed with other pills, it will have the effect of enhancing the mind. If consumed alone, it will become a poison that needs to be dispelled by the kidney.”

“However, the kidney can only dissolve a very small portion. A large portion is still stored in the body, causing other illnesses.”

“If the poison is not completely removed, the body will continue to weaken. It’s very similar to the symptoms of uremia, but it is difficult to diagnose and treat with modern medicine.”

After Yu Su finished speaking, the ward fell silent.

Xiao Han was also a little surprised.

Obviously, this poisoning was not a small matter. He did not know what kind of hatred would cause someone to do this.

Chen Ling’s eyes were red as she gritted her teeth and said, “Why is she so heartless?”

When Chen Bin saw that his daughter was trembling slightly, he couldn’t bear to let her suffer such a cruel side of life. He reached out and patted the back of her hand. “Chen Ling, Dad is fine. Don’t be sad.”

All these years, with his sickly body, he had long lost all hope of survival. How many times had he wanted to end his life?

Every time he saw his daughter’s cheerful smile, he would persevere.

It could be said that his life was given to him by his daughter.

He had long been extremely disappointed in his wife, Tian Yun. If he was not Chen Ling’s biological father, he would have divorced Tian Yun long ago and lived alone with Chen Ling.

Unfortunately, he could not get rid of Tian Yun.

Chen Ling looked at her father and noticed the heartache in his eyes. “Dad! I’ll definitely think of a way to treat your illness. You have to get better. You’re the only family I have left.”

Chen Ling wiped her tears and asked Yu Su firmly, “Yu Su, is there an antidote for the Red Poison Powder?”

Yu Su nodded. “Yes, I have to check how deeply the poison has affected him before I can formulate a prescription for the antidote. He will need to take the antidote continuously to recover the health of his various functions.”

“Alright, we’ll definitely cooperate!” Chen Ling finally became happy with a bright smile on her face.

Yu Su walked to the bedside. “Uncle Chen, extend your wrist. I’ll use my magic power to take your pulse. It’s fine as long as you don’t resist during the process.”

“Sorry to trouble you.” Chen Bin immediately extended his hand.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for Chen Ling, he wouldn’t even want to live. Life and death were up to fate. He didn’t have too deep an obsession with health.

Yu Su probed her magic power into his meridians and analyzed it carefully before saying, “Uncle Chen, you’ve been sick for a long time, right? I think the poison is about to penetrate your bones.”

“That’s right. At first, there were only mild symptoms, but later on, it became more and more serious. It’s been at least ten years since I have been hospitalized,” Chen Bin thought about it and said cautiously.

Since his daughter’s friend wanted to treat him, he could not waste her kindness. Of course, he had to treat her seriously.

Yu Su asked again, “How many times did you go to the hospital before you got married?”

During the school’s recruitment fair, Chen Bin had taken a few doses of the poison. However, the dosage should be relatively light and he could still live and work normally.

Chen Bin thought about it carefully for a while before replying, “I can’t remember the specifics. I think it was four or five times! Ever since I was unconscious and had a high fever at the recruitment fair, I was hospitalized every three to four months, but the hospital never found out the reason. I guess Chen Ling’s mother poisoned the food at that time.”

After he confirmed his relationship with Tian Yun, Tian Yun would bring snacks out every time they went on a date.

There were very few times when Tian Yun said that she was a little tired of eating snacks, but she would eat with him most of the time, so Chen Bin was not suspicious.

Now that he thought about it, Chen Bin finally understood.

Every time Tian Yun did not eat snacks, it was when she had poisoned it.

“I see!” Chen Bin muttered, “No wonder my health has been deteriorating ever since I met Chen Ling’s mother. After I got married, I was hospitalized multiple times to recuperate. I can’t even work normally.”

During that period of time, he felt very guilty towards his wife and even felt that he was useless.

“At that time, you didn’t think of divorcing her?” Xiao Han asked curiously.

If Uncle Chen had proposed a divorce back then, facing such a sickly person, Chen Ling’s mother would have agreed long ago and wouldn’t have delayed it until now.

What was the secret behind this? He acutely felt that this was the key!
