Chapter 829: The Cruel Truth
Su Wan had never felt so scared before.
If it had been some time ago, when she knew that she had been infected with this virus, Su Wan would not have felt so bad.
Because during that time, she had been depressed and even had the thought of committing suicide.
But ever since she got back together with Jiang Xuecheng, she realized that she was actually very fond of the time she spent with Jiang Xuecheng.
She did not want to die.
Not at all.
Su Wan’s eyes moved slightly. She did not want to show her vulnerability in front of Ming Ye, so she could only pretend to be very curious.
However, Su Wan’s hands were slightly clenched together, and her fingertips turned white.
She wanted to know an answer.
If CHK Virus No.2 could kill people, then CHK Virus No.3 would probably be even more powerful, right?!
Ming Ye looked at Su Wan with an unfathomable expression, as if he was trying to guess who the person who was poisoned was.
No matter who it was, as long as it was not Su Wan.
But Ming Ye was not sure if Su Wan was lying to him.
Ming Ye’s deep eyes flashed with a cold light. Su Wan did not tell him, but it did not mean that he could not use his own ability to investigate.
The only person who had been developing the CHK virus was the high priest.
And it was not unexpected that the high priest would give Su Wan the virus.
Regardless of whether the person who was poisoned was Su Wan or not, Ming Ye thought about it. In order not to agitate Su Wan’s emotions, he considered his words.
“It was still quite early when I left the God’s Palace. I’m actually not too clear about the CHK Virus No.2. However… Su Wan, do you still remember the poison pill I gave you when we first met?”
Su Wan was stunned. She did not quite understand why Ming Ye would bring up the matter of their first meeting at this time.
At that time, Ming Ye was seriously injured. In order to avoid the people sent by the high priest, he even held a knife to her neck and threatened her. After that, he fed her a poison pill…
In short, it was not a pleasant experience.
“Why are you saying this?”
Su Wan frowned. Her mind was racing and she suddenly thought of some possibilities.
Could it be that the poison pill that Ming Ye fed her had something to do with CHK Virus No.3?
Ming Ye saw Su Wan’s sudden realization and knew that she should have guessed it.
Ming Ye smiled and calmly solved the doubts in Su Wan’s heart.
“You guessed right. The poison pill I fed you was taken from the High Priest’s lab during the chaos. That poison pill was the CHK Virus No.1.”
Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Since it was named CHK, could that first-generation virus have something to do with the third-generation virus?!
Wait a minute…
How did she detoxify the poison pill after Ming Ye fed it to her?
Uh, it seemed that Ming Ye had said that using his blood was a bit special. It was also something called Dragon’s Blood, like in Jiang Xuecheng. Could drinking that thing detoxify the poison?
However, at that time, she did not drink Ming Ye’s blood because Ming Ye had said that her body should have the components of Dragon’s Blood. Regardless of whether it was weak or not, the CHK Virus No.1 was ineffective against people who had Dragon’s Blood.
Su Wan looked at Ming Ye anxiously, and a sense of urgency appeared on her beautiful face.
“Ming Ye, if you say so, will the CHK Virus No.3 be the same as the No.1, and can be solved by drinking blood?!”
Ming Ye saw the unconcealable anxiety on Su Wan’s face, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood that the person who was poisoned was most likely Su Wan.
She was indeed lying to him.
Ming Ye’s expression immediately turned cold.
Perhaps in Su Wan’s heart, they were not even friends.
When he realized this, Ming Ye’s throat could not help but ache.
He restrained his expression, hoping that Su Wan would not notice anything strange.
“Su Wan, I don’t know the cure for CHK Virus No.3. Perhaps it has something to do with the cure for CHK Virus No.1, or maybe it has nothing to do with it. These are all uncertain things. If you want to know, other than asking the one who produced it, you can only rely on continuous experimental research.”
Hearing Ming Ye’s calm analysis, Su Wan’s heart unconsciously calmed down.
She was too impatient.
Suddenly, Su Wan felt the sound of someone passing by the door.
Su Wan suddenly realized that she had been out for too long.
She didn’t know if Jiang Xuecheng had finished talking with the high priest. If Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t find her when they went back, he might be anxious.
Su Wan nodded at Ming Ye and smiled gratefully at him.
“Ming Ye, thank you in advance no matter what. I don’t know what grudges you have with the High Priest, but it is not easy to live. I hope you will not harm yourself before you are confident.”
After Su Wan said that, she walked towards the door.
Ming Ye saw that Su Wan was about to turn around and leave, and his heart trembled. Before he could think clearly, he blurted out.
“Wait a minute!”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. She turned her head around in a daze.
“Is there anything else?”
Ming Ye looked at Su Wan’s clean and beautiful face. Finally, he could not help but ask Su Wan for confirmation.
“Su Wan, the person who was infected with CHK Virus No.3, is it you… is it someone very important to you?”
Originally, Ming Ye wanted to directly ask if it was Su Wan, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he changed them.
Su Wan did not expect Ming Ye to ask this. She hesitated for a second, but still nodded.
In fact, to Ming Ye, this answer was already indirectly admitting that the person who was poisoned was Su Wan.
Because Su Wan had once said that the most important person in this world was only Jiang Xuecheng.
Even if the high priest wanted to completely control Jiang Xuecheng, she would not use this method.
Ming Ye’s long and narrow eyes flashed as he spoke seriously to Su Wan.
“In that case… if I have any news about the antidote in the future, I will definitely inform you.”
“Okay, then I’ll thank you in advance.”
Su Wan only thought that Ming Ye was being polite to her. She smiled gratefully at Ming Ye and then reached out to open the door.
In the narrow studio, there was no longer that slender figure. It was as if time had suddenly become much emptier.
Ming Ye looked at the door that was gently closed. He lowered his head in disappointment and sighed softly. Then, he walked to the window indifferently.
The window was opened, and the breeze was slightly cool.
Ming Ye reached out to hold the windowsill. He secretly made up his mind.
No matter what, he would help Su Wan find a way to cure the CHK Virus No.3.
He would not watch Su Wan die.
…
Su Wan thought that Jiang Xuecheng might be looking for her, so she wanted to go back to the banquet hall.
But after thinking about it, Su Wan decided to go to the bathroom to wash her face first.
She would say that she was not feeling well and stayed in the bathroom for a while.
Su Wan walked slowly. She stared at herself in the bathroom, and her face was as pale as a ghost.
Su Wan let out a sigh.
She reached out to turn on the tap and began to splash some water on her face, trying to clear her mind.
All of a sudden, Su Wan heard a voice that sounded both angry and happy.
“Why are you here?! Didn’t I tell you to wait for me?”
