A bottle contained a colorless liquid and what appeared to be medicinal herb fragments.
There were two small doses of antidotes in the other bottle.
“This is the antidote for Su Su, but it is only half of it. You have the option of giving her the antidote right now. However, even if she wakes up, her memories will fail her and she will go insane in the future unless…” Lu Wen stated.
Lu Wen shook the bottle in his other hand. The poison in the bottle emitted an alluring light.
“Put this thing from Neverland Island into Lu Zhao’s food.”
Lu Wen’s eyes were like poisoned daggers, flashing with a dangerous light.
“You should know what this is.”
Neverland Island had no owner, and he had only been there once or twice.
This poison should act as a catalyst for the poison in Lu Zhao’s body.
If Lu Zhao was given this catalyst, he could go insane and turn into a monster that relied on blood and poison to survive.
“Isn’t Lu Zhao just a friend of yours? Friends are always replaceable. You can become my friend if you kill Lu Zhao.” Lu Wen placed a hand on Sirius’ shoulder. “You can look for me if you want to rely on the Lu family’s connections. You lose nothing.”
Lu Wen then turned to face Su Su, who was resting in Sirius’ arms.
Su Su’s eyes were tightly closed. Her lips and face were pale, and her hands hang limply as if she was about to pass out.
Sirius inhaled deeply. “This poison will not get you what you want.’
Lu Wen was not sure what Sirius meant. He frowned and turned to face Sirius.
“The poison that you previously planted in Lu Zhao’s body has already been cured.” Sirius inhaled deeply and looked at Lu Wen.
Lu Wen showed no signs of panic. He slid the bottle into Sirius’ grip.
“That changes nothing. The other half of this poison may not drive Lu Zhao insane, but he’ll be haunted by hallucinations every day. I’ll accept a mentally crippled Lu Zhao as a win, all the same.”
Sirius shot a cold glare at Lu Wen and said, “Crazy.”
“I don’t think I am crazy.” Lu Wen yawned and approached Chi Yu. “You love Su Su. If you lose her, would you ever meet another Su Su?”
Lu Wen’s smile was flawless, but the words he spoke sent shivers down one’s spine.
“I know you can’t bear the thought of losing her. You can always surround yourself with numerous friends. But is it possible to fall in love with a second Su Su in this lifetime?”
These words seemed absurd at first, but his heart still skipped a beat.
Yes, he had waited for Su Su for so long because no one could ever fill this woman’s place in his heart.
Lu Zhao was a friend. Sirius tried to gather his thoughts, but nothing came except for a chill running down his spine.
Lu Wen was an expert manipulator.
In his panic, he had long fallen under his influence.
“I have a moral compass. Furthermore, Lu Zhao is an amazing man. He would see this coming,” Sirius said.
“I’m sure he would. If that fails, you could always look for Luo Ying…”
Lu Wen lowered his voice and approached Sirius. “Stop blinding yourself. You know that Luo Ying dislikes Lu Zhao. She has already stated that she will betray Lu Zhao. Lin Su has been a long-time favorite of hers. All she has to do is pretend to like Lu Zhao a little.”
The spark finally set off a fire in Sirius’ heart. Luo Ying was exactly what he had imagined.
There had to be a reason why Luo Ying had so easily reconciled with Lu Zhao.
Luo Ying was the one who told him about Su Su’s whereabouts, and she also brought up the past.
It would not be difficult to explain what happened before if Luo Ying and Lu Wen were in cahoots.
“That woman…” Sirius said with clenched teeth.
Lu Wen turned to leave, ignoring Sirius.
Sirius returned Su Su to his room and gave her two pills.
Su Su blinked open her eyes. Her tears fell like broken beads when she saw Sirius.
Sirius always fell apart whenever he saw Su Su. He reached for a tissue to wipe the tears away from Su Su’s face.
“It has been difficult for you. I will definitely find a way to get you the antidote.”
Su Su rose to her feet and hugged Sirius..
