Lu Jin Yue: "Dad, nothing you say now matters. The priority is to save Mom."
Lu Cheng Si: "I know, but the doctors haven't detected any poisoning. It might be difficult to save your mother unless your sister can help. She's skilled in detoxification."
Lu Jin Yue: "Dad, I'll send the medicine for analysis first."
"Okay, okay, I'll go find the doctor."
After hanging up, Lu Jin Yue turned to Yu Han. "Han Han, I'm going to the hospital. You stay home and rest. Don't wait for me. If anything happens at home, call He Ming Run. We're all family, so don't hesitate to ask for help. Take care of yourself, and I'll be back after I'm done."
"Okay! Be careful," Yu Han reminded him.
"Mm!" Lu Jin Yue hurried to the garage to get his car. As he reached the entrance and was about to turn, he suddenly saw a man pulling a suitcase walking out of the main gate. He was startled and slammed on the emergency brake.
However, it was a moment too late. The man had already fallen to the ground.
Lu Jin Yue: "..."
He felt a sense of overwhelming misfortune, like a roof leaking during a storm.
He quickly got out of the car and looked at the man sitting on the ground. Under the light, the man was tall and slender, fair-skinned, and wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses.
Seeing Lu Jin Cheng, the man said unhurriedly, "Sir, no matter how urgent, you must pay attention to safety."
He wasn't angry, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his handsome face.
Lu Jin Cheng looked at him and asked, "Sir, are you alright? Did you injure yourself anywhere? I'm going to the hospital anyway, I can give you a ride."
Song Bao Li: "..."
"No need, is this the Lu family residence?" Song Bao Li wasn't hit, but he was startled.
Lu Jin Yue looked at him suspiciously. "Yes, it is. Who are you looking for?"
Song Bao Li became angry upon hearing this. "I'm looking for Jiang Nuan. I'm her partner. Didn't she say she'd pick me up at the airport? I waited at the airport for an hour, and her phone was unreachable. I had to find my way here myself."
Lu Jin Yue seized on the word "partner." He asked in surprise, "Are you a doctor?"
"Mm! A doctor." Song Bao Li had a leisurely disposition.
"That's great! I'm Nuan Nuan's elder brother, Lu Jin Yue. I apologize for not picking you up at the airport. I'll explain what happened to Nuan Nuan on the way."
Lu Jin Yue picked up Song Bao Li's suitcase and placed it in the back seat, urging Song Bao Li to get in the car quickly.
Song Bao Li: "..." It felt like being forced into something.
On the way, Lu Jin Yue told Song Bao Li about Jiang Nuan's situation.
Song Bao Li took a moment to process the information before saying, "Are you saying Jiang Nuan was arrested for murder?"
Lu Jin Yue exclaimed angrily, "My sister wouldn't kill anyone!"
Song Bao Li mused, "She wouldn't. I've known her for five years. She's excellent, beautiful, but she just doesn't know how to love men."
Lu Jin Yue: "..."
"If someone dies poisoned after surgery for a day and a night, with a green complexion and dark purple lips, it's poisoning. And it's a poison that cannot be bought on the market."
"Right! Do you have any good ideas, sir?" Lu Jin Yue asked.
Song Bao Li: "... I don't have as many ideas as Jiang Nuan does."
Lu Jin Yue: "..." I'm disappointed!
Song Bao Li: "By the way, my name is Song Bao Li. You can call me Bao Li."
"Never mind, I'll still call you Doctor Song."
Lu Jin Yue took out the white powder confiscated from Aunt Wang and said, "Doctor Song, can you help detoxify my mother with this poison?"
Song Bao Li took a sniff of the powder and said, "It's difficult to determine the ingredients. I can't do it."
Lu Jin Yue: "..." I thought you could.
"However..."
"However, what?" Lu Jin Yue thought he was slow, but this person was even slower.
"I can't, but your sister can. She has a universal medicine kit. If you find her medicine kit, you can detoxify."
Lu Jin Yue: "..."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Song Bao Li said apologetically, "I thought you were her brother, you know."
Lu Jin Yue no longer wanted to argue.
He immediately stopped the car, turned it around, and headed back to the Lu family residence.
He parked the car rapidly downstairs.
Song Bao Li: "..."
He couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Lu, slowing down is the safest way."
Lu Jin Yue: "..." Don't tell me I'm fast. I'm not fast at all.
"Doctor Song, I'll take you upstairs to get Nuan Nuan's medicine kit."
"Oh, oh! Slow down, slow down. The busier you are, the more chaotic things become." Song Bao Li knew he was anxious, but he had seen that the medicine was a slow-acting poison, and it wouldn't kill someone instantly.
But Lu Jin Yue didn't dare to be slow; it was his mother, after all.
He dragged Song Bao Li to his sister's small building, pushed open the door, and began to look for the medicine kit.
Song Bao Li stood at the doorway, hesitant to enter.
Lu Jin Yue said anxiously, "Come in! I don't recognize the medicine kit."
Song Bao Li shook his head. "Jiang Nuan's room is very dangerous. One wrong move and you'll be in trouble."
Lu Jin Yue: "..."
This guy...!
"Come in, don't be afraid." Lu Jin Yue was about to go crazy. How could this person remain so calm?
Only then did Song Bao Li enter. He stopped Lu Jin Yue, who was rummaging everywhere, and pointed to a delicate leather case on the table. "Brother Lu, you don't need to search. It's right here."
Lu Jin Yue stopped moving and looked at the small leather case on the table. "..."
Waiting for him, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Song Bao Li rubbed his nose. "Sorry, I did."
He walked over, opened the medicine kit, took out a detection strip, and said to Lu Jin Yue, "I need water."
"Just a moment." Lu Jin Yue found a cup and poured a glass of water.
Song Bao Li dripped water onto the test strip and then placed the medicine Lu Jin Yue had given him on it.
"Mm! It's colorless and odorless," Song Bao Li muttered to himself.
Lu Jin Yue looked at him nervously. "So?"
Song Bao Li pointed to two bottles of medicine in the kit. "If the color of the test strip is red, the antidote is in the green bottle. If the test strip is pink or green, then the antidote in the blue porcelain bottle can be used."
Lu Jin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Then which bottle should be used for the colorless and odorless one?"
Song Bao Li shook his head. "I don't know. I've only peeked a few times. Remember, I don't know which bottle to use for the colorless and odorless one?"
Lu Jin Yue put the items back into the medicine kit and said, "I'll take the medicine kit to see my sister."
Song Bao Li mused, "The medicine in the black bottle should be the antidote."
Lu Jin Yue took out the black bottle and poured out a milky white pill.
"I'll take the medicine first, and then the antidote."
Song Bao Li instantly understood his intention and said admiringly, "Brother Lu, you're truly great for risking your own life to test the medicine for your mother. However, this medicine is very expensive; it requires hundreds of thousands of medicinal herbs for one pill, so it's very precious. I guess there isn't much of this medicine, perhaps only one or two pills."
Lu Jin Yue didn't believe it. He shook his hand, and there were none left.
He held the only pill.
"What do we do now?" Lu Jin Yue was desperately anxious.
Song Bao Li carefully smelled the fragrant scent of the pill and finally gave a slow answer.
"This pill can detoxify."
Lu Jin Yue: "..." You're such a tease, you're going to drive me mad.
Lu Jin Yue pulled him along again. "Let's go. We'll go to the hospital together."
