Chapter 557: Severing Ties of Affection and Duty
ect Old Master Fu, for which he can give up anything!...including one's own life!Fu Lingxiao's thin lips were tightly pursed, his face cold and aloof. He effortlessly subdued the soldiers who attacked..."You're getting a little too into character, aren't you, Mr. Assistant"
Li Huìyī's disdainful snort, she looked at the man standing in the night, "Prince Charming is not only my master but also the man I have admired since childhood. Everything I do is willingly. I don't leave with you because I don't want to leave him."
The night sky was filled with dark, swirling clouds that obscured half the moon.
Yuntuo's body was bisected by the moonlight. Half his face was hidden in darkness, while the other half was bathed in the desolate moonlight.
The silvery moonlight tore through the darkness, seeming to rip apart his heart as well. A crack appeared in his deep, dark eyes, revealing the vulnerability inflicted by the woman's words.
“If you are being threatened, I will even risk my life to get you out of here, but if you don't want to leave, what can I do...”
Yun Tuo's lips slowly curled into a bitter arc, pulling out a bottle of antidote from his pocket.
Actually, the moment he knew Li Huiyi had been poisoned, he had a premonition in his heart, so he asked his subordinates in Di Capital to send another bottle of antidote.
"This is the last I can do for you. From now on, our ties are severed. If one day we meet as enemies, I will show no mercy."
The servile look on Yun Tuo's face vanished, replaced by a cold and gloomy expression. Or perhaps, this was his true nature all along; he only concealed it when in the presence of the woman he loved.
After finishing his words, he placed the antidote on the ground and decisively turned to leave.
Watching the man's tall figure quickly disappear into the night, Li Huiyi walked heavily to where he had just been standing. On the ground lay a bottle of antidote.
She slowly crouched down and picked up the antidote. Tears welled up in her eyes and silently fell, shattering amidst the shimmering night...
"It's so sad, why didn't he go with them"
A cold voice suddenly came from behind.
Li Huiyi hurriedly tucked the antidote Yun Tuo had left into her pocket, turned around and knelt down, bowing her head and saying, "My subordinate dares not!"
"Well, I wouldn't dare."
Charles stood before Li Yi, looking down at him with an air of superiority. His tall and thin shadow completely enveloped her, "You better not."
The threat of killing spread from the top of her head down, Li Huìyi hurriedly said: "My subordinate swears allegiance to Your Highness!"
She raised both hands, offering the antidote, "Your Highness, I have obtained the antidote."
Charles Blue's eyes narrowed slightly, took the antidote from Li Huiyi's hand, and turned to walk into the castle.
Li Huiyi quietly wiped away the tears on her face and got up to follow.
Upon arriving at the lab, Charles handed the antidote to the researcher. "Test it," he said, "and see if it really works."
"Yes."
The researcher received the antidote and carefully extracted a minuscule amount for experimentation.
Charles watched intently, his life depended on it, allowing no room for error.
An hour later, the test finally yielded results. The researcher excitedly reported to the prince, "Your Highness, this truly does work as an antidote!"
At these words, a look of surprised delight spread across Charles's pale, gaunt face.
From the moment he brought back Li Hu衣, he had everything planned out.
Inject Li Huiyi with toxins, making her fight continuously. Activate the toxins and wait for Yuntuo to take her away.
If Fu Lingxiao had a cure, that idiot Yun Tuo would definitely give it to Li Huiyi.
Unexpectedly, the test in this desperate situation was actually successful. Fu Lingxiao really has the antidote!
"Could we develop more antidotes based on this sample antidote"
Charles was already calculating in his mind, as soon as the antidote was developed, that toxin could become a secret weapon for him to control others!
The researcher frowned. "Developing an antidote isn't difficult, it just requires adjusting the dosage according to the ingredients. The problem is, this antidote contains an unknown component that I've never seen before. I just tried extracting it for research, but it's impossible."
There was only one antidote, and Charles naturally couldn't allow the researchers to conduct experiments. After all, the consequences of failure would be his life. For now, he had to shelve the research on the antidote.
Charles took the antidote and walked out of the lab.
Li Huiyi, who was guarding the door, saw him come out and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I have brought back the antidote. Please let go of my younger brother."
Charles's face was as cold as ice. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Li Huiyi. I wouldn't be foolish enough to let someone who has betrayed me mentally live to see another day. But, seeing as you helped me get the antidote back, I can promise you this: when the day you die arrives, I will release Li Yueche."
Before, Prince Charles recruited a group of people to test the antidote.
Her younger brother, Li Yuchen, was one of them. A few years ago, Li Yuchen was still allowed to move around occasionally. Two years ago, he was suddenly taken away secretly. The only information she received every month was a video recording of her brother.
In the video, her younger brother's condition is getting worse and worse, he can't hold on for much longer. Luckily, Yun Tuo gave her another dose of medicine, she has to hurry and give it to her brother.
Prince Charles refused to release her, so Li Huiyi could only settle for a compromise. "I beg Your Highness to allow me and my younger brother to see each other,"
"Yes, I'll let you see the last side of me."
Charles sneered and ordered his men, "Take her down and lock her up!"
……
Yun Tuo returned to the Azure Dragon's base and went straight to the landing pad.
Shi Ye had been waiting for a long time, seeing him return with a dejected face, he sighed softly and said: "I thought you would be able to bring her back."
Yun Tuo wryly pulled at the corner of his lips, “No need.”
Shi Ye comforted her with care, "No matter what the girl's purpose is in approaching you, I can see that she truly likes you. Perhaps she has her own unspoken troubles."
"I know."
From the very beginning, he knew that Li Huiyi was approaching him with a purpose.
But he still fell willingly.
He could fall, but he couldn't risk Charles. Li Huiyi truly liked him, and that didn't prevent her from doing things for Charles. He couldn't bring this huge liability to Charles' side.
Yun Tuo stepped into the helicopter, "Come on, let's go back to F continent."
……
Europe, Hospital.
Mu Xing has been in a coma for half a month.
Fu Lingxiao remained by the bedside, never leaving. Shen Yue, Qian Fei, and Jiang Yan stood silently outside the ward.
In the conference room, a medical team of nearly a hundred experts is still analyzing and discussing Mu Xing's condition, each under immense pressure.
As the supervisor, Situ Xun spent his days in the conference room, listening to the experts discuss. His head ached from all the information overload, so he finally stepped out for some fresh air.
He walked out of the meeting room and from afar, he saw Yun Tuo and Shi Ye striding towards him.
Good to be back!
When the two arrived in front of him, Situ Xun immediately said to Yun Tuo: "You were a foreman in M country before, you have experience, I'll give this job to you."
Saying that, he directly pushed Yun Tuo into the meeting room.
I also tossed in Shi Ye.
Closing the meeting room door, Inspector Si Tu let out a long sigh of relief. Finally free!one on the coffee table rang with a busy signal.Yunze leaned against the sofa, smiling at Yun Xiaoyan, “You're still somewhat useful!”"Second brother, I've already made the phone call for you. Can I l...
