Ye Shaoting's hatred was directed solely at Di Mingjue; their grievances had nothing to do with Ye Ziyu.
After receiving Ye Qianzhi's call, he immediately arranged for people to practice related reports online.
At the same time, he called Gu Xiuyu to understand the situation.
The moment the call was made, Gu Xiuyu answered.
"Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
"Don't spread things about you and Ziyu online anymore. The old man saw it and was very angry. I've already sent people to remove your entries."
Although the photos online were not posted by Gu Xiuyu, Ye Shaoting's involvement was undeniable. It was fine to remove them now; after all, those who had seen them had already seen them, and there was no need to displease his future father-in-law over a minor matter.
"Is that all?" Gu Xiuyu inquired.
"Where are you now?" Ye Shaoting asked.
Gu Xiuyu looked around, his gaze falling on the wine glass in front of him. He picked it up, swirled it, and took a leisurely sip. "I'm at home waiting for Ziyu to come find me."
"She's looking for you?" Ye Shaoting expressed confusion. "Have you told her that you were the one who poisoned him?"
"Yes. If Ziyu wants to save Di Mingjue now, she needs to get the antidote from me. Otherwise, Di Mingjue will surely die."
Ye Shaoting wouldn't have played this card.
As long as the antidote couldn't be obtained, Di Mingjue was as good as dead. However, now that Ye Ziyu knew he held the antidote as leverage, it would only make Ye Ziyu detest him even more.
But his target was Di Mingjue. As long as he died, he didn't care about anyone else.
"Handle it carefully, don't mess this up," Ye Shaoting warned.
The game was too large, and there were always oversights. Whether Di Mingjue could be permanently eliminated as a threat depended on this opportunity.
Gu Xiuyu responded with full confidence, "Don't worry. The poison I made, even with the antidote, must be taken within a specific time frame. Otherwise, once the optimal time passes, the antidote will turn into another poison that harms the body."
It was precisely because of this that he wasn't anxious for Ye Ziyu to reply.
"Do as you see fit. We shouldn't meet or call each other for the time being."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Gu Xiuyu took his wine glass to the balcony.
The sky had already darkened outside, and the moonlight shone on the wine glass, making the body sparkle brilliantly.
If he didn't come tonight, tomorrow would be his death day!
Gu Xiuyu tilted his head back and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp. He turned and entered the room.
...
After leaving the hospital, Ye Ziyu contacted friends abroad. After sending them the relevant data about the poison, she thought she could get a solution. However, she was told that the components of the poison were very harmful to the body and that even the antidote had to be administered within a certain time.
This wasn't a threat at all; he simply wanted to watch Di Mingjue die.
Seeing that she had no other options, Ye Ziyu had no choice but to try.
She took out her phone and called Gu Xiuyu.
At the Gu residence, as Gu Xiuyu entered the bathroom to take a bath in the fish tank, the phone in the room released a deafening sound in the quiet environment.
After the first call was forced to hang up, Ye Ziyu called a second time.
The call rang for a long time again, but just as it was about to be hung up, it was answered.
"Hello, Ziyu, have you made up your mind?" Gu Xiuyu's joyful voice came through the phone.
Did he really think calling him meant accepting his terms?
Ye Ziyu said to the phone in a flat tone, "Do you really have the antidote?"
"Of course, I won't lie to you about this," Gu Xiuyu replied truthfully.
Keeping the antidote was also to threaten Ye Ziyu.
"Okay," Ye Ziyu said faintly.
