Antidote

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chen Xiang did not know much about the Zou family’s secret guards, but the Church knew a lot of stories about them. They were all content that made people shudder. Even the most devout believers would tell what they knew after entering.

It could be seen how terrifying the Zou family’s secret guards were. Chen Xiang felt a chill run up from the bottom of her feet. She made a prompt decision to bang her head against the wall.

Rather than being tortured, she might as well die now. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to endure what would happen next.

Zou Bai sent her flying with a kick, and Chen Xiang fell to the ground in pain.

“You can’t do this to me. My father used his life to save you. I’m his only daughter. Aren’t you afraid that my father will turn into a malicious ghost and seek revenge on you?” Chen Xiang was really at her wit’s end. She could only use her father to remind Zou Bai.

Unfortunately, it was no longer useful to him. He said to the door, “Take her away and lock her up at the secret guard headquarters. As long as she’s not dead, you can torture her.”

“No!” Chen Xiang wailed loudly.

The secret guard immediately covered her mouth, knocked her out, and took her away. His actions were clean and efficient.

Tang Ye walked in and said, “Master, my medicine can last for at most ten more minutes. I still have to rely on you to detoxify the effects.”

Zou Bai nodded, “I understand.”

He walked into the bedroom and gently stroked Jiang An’s hair. “An’an, I really have no choice now. Can you forgive me this time?”

Jiang An was very weak. “You’re not the one who drugged me. There’s no need to apologize. I don’t want to stay in the Zhao family. Let’s go back, okay?”

Zou Bai naturally agreed and carried her out.

Zhao Lan hid behind a pillar and watched everything. Although she did not know what had happened, she could guess from the actions of the Zou family’s secret guards.

She was as infatuated as Chen Xiang, but the person she liked would never respond to her.

There were only a few ways to get a lover, but Zou Bai was not Mo Shen. It seemed that Chen Xiang would never appear again.

“My brother Mo Shen is still the gentlest. He must have me in his heart,” Zhao Lan muttered to herself with a blissful smile on her face.

Zou Bai was worried that he wouldn’t be able to return in time due to the effects of the drug, so he stayed in a hotel in the city center. This was the Zou Family’s property, so it was absolutely safe.

Jiang An started to feel hot again, and she became delirious. She kept burrowing into Zou Bai’s arms, as if this could relieve her.

Zou Bai didn’t want to hurt her, so he carried her into the bathtub. The bathtub was filled with warm water, which could relieve Jiang An’s discomfort.

He lowered his head and kissed his lover. “An’an, I swear that this would never happen again. I love you.”

Jiang An only knew that there was a fire burning in her body. She eagerly responded to his kiss, as if only her instincts were left. However, when she heard Zou Bai say that he loved her, she still looked up at him. “I love you too.”

That night, Jiang An was in a daze. Zou Bai’s actions were unprecedentedly gentle, but he was very agitated and kept telling her about his love.

It was as if this would make Jiang An feel better, but the medicinal properties of the potion were too domineering. By the time it was completely removed, the sky was already bright.

Jiang An fell asleep until the next night. Zou Bai grabbed Tang Ye and confirmed again and again, “Is she really alright?”

Tang Ye did not expect to experience the feeling of a medical dispute in his lifetime. He explained, “She’s really fine. Miss Jiang is just too tired. She’ll wake up after resting enough.”

However, such words were useless against a man in love. He stayed by the bed anxiously, afraid that something would go wrong.

At night, Jiang An opened her eyes and found Zou Bai sitting at the side with a haggard expression. She could touch his stubble with her hand. “What’s wrong with you? Did I sleep for three days and three nights?”

Zou Bai excitedly pulled her into his arms. “You’re finally awake. You scared me.”

After knowing that she had only slept for a day, Jiang An rebuked him, “I was just tired and slept a little longer. Why did you have to make such a big fuss and torture Dr. Tang like this?”

She only saw Tang Ye when she was eating at the dining table. His expression was even scarier than Zou Bai’s. He almost knelt down to Jiang An to thank her for waking up.

Under Jiang An’s questioning, Zou Bai explained in detail how he “oppressed” Tang Ye. It was simply torturous. Even he himself started to suspect that his diagnosis was wrong.

Zou Bai held her hand. “I only did this because I’m too worried about you. I’ll get someone to give Tang Ye a large sum of money to thank him for working so hard, okay?”

Jiang An nodded and agreed. Tang Ye’s face immediately lit up when he heard that. He suddenly felt relaxed and could run another ten kilometers outside.
