Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 167 Gu King

"Actually, I don't know why Nangong Shuo came back to help me. I also feel baffled. Maybe I was just being used by someone. The mastermind of this incident is the fake Wu Xiwen who died. She has been urging this plan to proceed. In the final analysis, I don't know who is above her or who is helping her. The last time Mingzhu was kidnapped, it really had nothing to do with me. I even learned about the relationship between the girl surnamed Meng and Mingzhu when I saw her living in the Ming family a few days ago."

Wu Jinling organized his words and finally answered Qiao Surong's questions one by one.

"So, you are also being used as a cannon fodder, and you have no access to any useful information or intelligence?" Qiao Surong raised his eyebrows, and stared at the cunning Wu Jinling with his eagle eyes.

Wu Jinling nodded quickly, his sincere attitude and eyes made it seem as if what he said was true.

"Wu Jinling, Wu Jinling, you have made your life by your cunning and knowledge of the times, and you will also fail because of this. You know how much truth there is in what you said, and I know it too. Now, you just need to tell me whether this matter is inextricably linked to the American supernatural world." This time, Qiao Surong was not asking a question, but a direct order. The implication was that he must tell the truth. If he lied or kept silent, then the consequences waiting for him would definitely be much more serious than the previous threat.

Wu Jinling thought for a few seconds and finally nodded solemnly.

"Okay, your granddaughter, I won't send you to the army, but during this period, as long as you cooperate well, I can guarantee your safety. If you don't cooperate well, you can see that my brothers are all unrestrained violent maniacs. I'm afraid that Miss Wu will suffer some unexpected disasters, so there is no need for that." Qiao Surong nodded with satisfaction, stood up, looked down at him, and said with a smile.

After saying that, he turned around and left the base, with Butler Qiao following behind him.

By the time they were brought to the Ming family, the sky was already slightly bright. All night, except for a few other people in the Ming family who didn't care or didn't care at all, no one else could sleep.

Especially Meng Zhiling and Ming Shunde, and the anxious Ming Yi. Meng Zhiling blamed him for not protecting Mingzhu well and now forbids him to visit her. Of course, there is also Dr. Shen Bin, who stayed up all night to study Mingzhu's "condition".

"You didn't sleep all night last night, did you?" Qiao Surong said with concern as he looked at Meng Zhiling who looked a little haggard.

"It's okay. How can I sleep with my mother in this condition?" Meng Zhiling kept frowning. Doctor Shen Bin still hadn't come out of his temporary laboratory. It seemed that the situation was really difficult.

"I know what's going on, aunt, but there are some things I need to ask you in private." Qiao Surong took Meng Zhiling's hand and looked at the other people in the room.

Everyone, including Ming Shunde, immediately cooperated and left the room.

"Mengmeng, do you know Nangong Shuo?" Qiao Surong asked after everyone left.

"Nangong Shuo? Are you talking about the Gu poison master from Southern Xinjiang?"

"Yes, that's him."

"I kind of know him. We've met once or twice before, but we're not very familiar with each other. He's quite familiar with an old acquaintance of mine, so why are you suddenly talking about him?" Meng Zhiling was curious why he suddenly asked about the Gu King Nangong Shuo. Could this matter be related to him? Could her mother's illness really be as she had initially suspected?

Was he poisoned?

"My aunt was bewitched by him, that's why she is like this." Qiao Surong nodded, confirming Meng Zhiling's guess.

"really……"

Meng Zhiling narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing that this matter was closely related to Meng Fan. The Wu family alone, with just the grandfather and grandson, did not have such good planning and control abilities, let alone such strong abilities, to trap both her and Qiao Surong.

"Wu Jinling is in my hands now. He said there's no antidote for this poison. There's only a small chance of success if we can find Nangong Shuo himself. I'm desperately looking for him now, so don't worry."

Qiao Surong held Meng Zhiling's hand tightly, feeling that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

"Su Rong, what if there is really no antidote? You know, Gu poison is the most difficult poison to cure. People who raise Gu are not joking at all. Their purpose is to kill people. Generally, they will not research the corresponding antidote. Even if we find Nangong Shuo, there may not be a way to save my mother." Meng Zhiling, who has always been very strong and calm in front of others, frowned at this time. At the end of her speech, her voice was choked with sobs and a strong nasal sound. She couldn't hold back her tears and slid down her smooth face without stopping.

Helplessly hugging Qiao Surong's strong back, he finally found a place to lean on, a place where he could confide in and tell all his worries.

Qiao Surong also patted her back gently and said comfortingly: "No, Auntie will definitely get better, definitely, believe me."

I felt distressed that she was leaning on me, but at the same time I was also glad that this time, when she encountered difficulties, I could be by her side, so that she could have a shoulder to lean on when she was tired, helpless, and crying.

"I know, I know..." Suddenly, an excited man's voice came from outside the door, getting closer and closer. That kind of excitement would make people mistakenly think that he had found a way to save Mingzhu.

"What do you know?" Meng Zhiling opened the door and saw Shen Bin holding several test tubes in his hands, his eyes shining, and he looked extremely excited and thrilled.

"Meng girl, I finally found the cause of your mother's illness. She was poisoned." When Shen Bin said the second half of the sentence, he was obviously very nervous and helpless. It seemed that his excitement was only limited to the fact that he had figured out the "cause of the illness". As for the treatment method, he seemed to be willing but unable to do so.

"So? How can you detoxify it?" Meng Zhiling looked at him sharply and asked lightly.

Shen Bin shook his head regretfully, not feeling embarrassed at all. "We haven't found an effective antidote yet. We can only suppress it and prolong the time between each attack."

"Can we find a cure?" Meng Zhiling asked again.

After all, since a miracle doctor like Shen Bin can find a way to suppress the poison, he should be able to find a way to eradicate it.

However, Shen Bin's expression had already given Meng Zhiling the most disappointing answer. "Meng girl, I'll try my best. After all, this kind of poison is very rare. Judging from the method used to administer the poison and the way it took effect, it's very likely the work of the Gu King."

"Yes, it's him. We are trying our best to find him." Qiao Surong, who had been standing silently beside Meng Zhiling, nodded, indicating that he would cooperate with Shen Bin.

After all, he also saw that Shen Bin was quite capable.

Mingzhu should be some hope.

"Why is it so noisy? Zhiling, Su Rong, why are you all here? Who is this old gentleman?" The three were talking, and no one noticed when Mingzhu woke up, and no one knew how much of their conversation Mingzhu had heard.

"Mom, you finally woke up. You were kidnapped and have been in a coma, remember? This is the doctor Ming Shunde invited. He is asking why you haven't woken up yet. How are you? How do you feel now?" Meng Zhiling pretended to be fine. No matter what Mingzhu had just heard, she could only pretend to be relaxed.

"Much better, I don't feel anything anymore." Mingzhu smiled slightly, but her eyes were still a little red and her face was a little pale. Otherwise, she looked no different from an ordinary person.

"That's good. This time, you really suffered." Meng Zhiling stepped forward and took Mingzhu's hand, and gave Qiao Surong a wink. Qiao Surong immediately asked Shen Bin to leave the room, and the two went to the laboratory to discuss this matter.

"Mom is fine, it's you who suffered. Although I fell asleep, I can still feel you guarding my bedside all night long." Mingzhu also held Meng Zhiling's hand. She always felt that after this "illness", her strength increased, and her whole body felt sore.

"Where's Ming Yi?"

"Mom, why are you asking about him suddenly? I don't know, maybe he went to the company to work." Meng Zhiling pouted. Although she sometimes had a strong aura and terrifying abilities, she still couldn't learn to lie in front of her mother. When she said this, she could even feel the bitterness and awkwardness in her words.

"Zhiling, I know you must be angry that he didn't protect me well, but he is a grown man and he has to have his own things to do. He can't be by my side 24 hours a day. But the other party took advantage of the two hours when he was away and these accidents happened. You can only blame your mother for being useless, not him." Mingzhu sighed. Although she had never raised Meng Zhiling, she still understood her daughter after spending these days together.

So I tried to persuade him earnestly.

Ming Yi is the person who can help them the most. At this time, it is not a wise choice for Zhi Ling to become enemies with Ming Yi.

"Mom, you are still speaking for him. Do you know that before I left, he promised me with his own mouth that he would protect you and that when I come back, not a single hair of yours would be missing." Meng Zhiling pouted and still did not forgive Ming Yi. This matter was so strange and so coincidental. The people in the Ming family must have played a role in fueling the flames, otherwise Wu Jinling would not have been able to take people away from the Ming family mansion so easily.

"Okay, don't be angry, my dear daughter. Look, I haven't lost a single hair. Apart from taking a long nap, I'm not injured at all." Mingzhu hugged Meng Zhiling and persuaded her in a gentle voice. She, Zhiling and her mother were all miserable people. They had few relatives. It was rare for Mingyi to treat them sincerely. They couldn't lose these few family ties.

She had more or less heard some of the conversation between them and the doctor just now, so once she was gone, Meng Zhiling's only relative would be Ming Yi. She didn't want to see the people she cared about killing each other.
