Chapter 169 Bloodletting Throat
Chapter 169 Bloodletting Throat
Upon hearing this news, Xu Yao secretly rejoiced, thinking that this was truly a stroke of luck.
Because the Chen family was focused on helping with the patriarch's illness, they naturally became much more lax in other areas.
Xu Yao took advantage of this opportunity to quietly infiltrate the Chen family.
After some twists and turns, Xu Yao finally met Chen Yue, the young master of the Chen family.
Xu Yao himself did not know that this guy was Chen Yue, the young master of the Chen family.
However, Chen Yue's skills were truly remarkable. After learning that Xu Yao had come to kill her, Chen Yue directly exchanged several blows with Xu Yao.
Although Chen Yue and Xu Yao were evenly matched in their exchange, to be honest...
Su Chen could still sense Chen Yue's strength, so Xu Yao said to Chen Yue, "With your strength, why would anyone dare to kill you?"
Chen Yue smiled and said, "I naturally have enemies in this matter, but I don't know if you know them, brother."
"Who wants you to kill me, brother?" Chen Yue asked.
Seeing that Chen Yue was also somewhat interesting, Xu Yao smiled and said, "I must say, you're quite an interesting person."
"I'm here to kill you, not to talk to you about anything else. Why are you joking with me now?"
"Because I know you're not a bad person," Chen Yue said cheerfully.
Xu Yao now felt somewhat favorably disposed towards what Chen Yue had said.
Xu Yao said, "There's a woman here who says she wants me to kill you, take your Killing Sword, and then give me two billion."
"I'm here now because of your Killing Sword," Xu Yao said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "I see. So, brother, this is how things are now. What do you intend to do?"
Xu Yao then smiled and said, "Since you're such a good person, I naturally won't do anything to you."
"Besides, it's clear from this incident that if it were anyone else, they would probably be my mortal enemy."
“But your father is currently ill. You know I came to assassinate you, and you didn’t do anything to me. You are a trustworthy person.”
"Although I'm not very clear about your father's illness, I can take a look. If you don't mind, how about I examine your father?"
"Great!" Chen Yue said excitedly.
However, just as Chen Yue finished speaking, her father, who was lying on the hospital bed, also started coughing violently.
It seems that Chen Yue's father's condition has also worsened.
Just as Su Chen was about to go up to check, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Seeing this, Su Chen turned to look at Chen Yue, who shook her head.
Then, the door opened, and a woman walked in with a group of people.
Upon seeing Chen Yue, the woman immediately bowed and said, "Husband, Father has started coughing violently again."
"I brought the alchemists here to see if they can stop my father's cough or something."
At this moment, Chen Yue said directly, "You don't need to worry about this. The people you brought don't need to see a doctor now."
"And what are you doing here, waiting outside? Why did you bring so many people with you?"
"If anything happens, will you take responsibility?"
The woman's warning had no effect whatsoever; the concubine insisted on sending someone to treat Chen Yue's father.
“Husband, regarding our father’s illness, although I am a concubine in the household, I am still his daughter. Can’t I, as his daughter, even examine him?”
When Xu Yao saw that the people sent by this woman were forcibly trying to treat Chen Yue's father, he directly stopped everyone and said, "What are you doing?"
"What is this thing in your hand?"
Xu Yao snatched the medicine from one of the alchemists' hands, then carefully smelled it and examined it.
This was the surprising discovery: the medicines brought by these alchemists were all poisons, medicines that could kill people instantly.
Honestly, if Xu Yao hadn't discovered this, these alchemists might have killed Chen Yue's father.
At this moment, Xu Yao said to the alchemists, "I don't know why you brought these poisons with you."
"But I'm warning you now, if you don't leave, then I won't be so polite."
Xu Yao's words surprised the alchemists present, but it was clear that Xu Yao was quite powerful.
The concubine, still indignant, led the alchemists away from there.
At this moment, Xu Yao said to Chen Yue, "I find this matter a bit strange, but Brother Chen, what I really want to do is check on your father's injuries."
"I have a feeling that your father's injuries are probably not that simple."
Chen Yue also seemed to have doubts about the matter, which is why he said to Xu Yao, "Brother Xu, I also have doubts about the concubines in this household."
"But there has been no evidence yet. If Brother Xu can find some problems now, that would be the best outcome."
"I would be grateful if Brother Xu could also lend a hand. If you can cure my father, then this Killing Sword will be yours," Chen Yue said.
Xu Yao nodded and walked directly to Chen Yue's father. He then noticed some strange marks on Chen Yue's father's face.
However, none of that matters. The main problem is that Chen Yue's father's face is also covered in bruises.
On top of that, Chen Yue's father also emitted a foul stench from his body.
The stench was so bad that even Xu Yao couldn't stand it.
After Xu Yao's diagnosis, he discovered that Chen Yue's father had been poisoned.
And it's the kind of deadly poison that has no antidote and kills instantly upon contact with blood.
If a person is poisoned by this kind of deadly poison, they will first fall into a coma, then lose their speech, and their face will turn blue and purple.
As for other symptoms, one is that the body emits a foul odor.
This is a typical case of a deadly poison that can kill instantly, even for someone as skilled as Xu Yao.
It's extremely rare to see someone use such a poison; the fact that someone could use such a poison is truly remarkable.
That means that anyone who could use this poison on Chen Yue's father must have a deep-seated hatred to do so.
Otherwise, no matter how good an ordinary person is, they shouldn't be so desperate as to use such a poison.
Seeing Xu Yao frowning, Chen Yue asked curiously, "Brother Xu, is there something you're having trouble saying?"
Why does Brother Xu look so worried?
