When Gu Chen arrived, Peter’s eyes lit up even more. This was the person he had been looking for!

He released his hand and made a welcoming gesture. “Apologies, I got too excited seeing Miss Song and was a bit impolite.”

Gu Chen gave Peter a cold look, but Song Fan felt something was wrong and immediately pulled him away.

“What did he say to you just now?” Gu Chen’s arm around Song Fan didn’t loosen.

Song Fan felt a bit uncomfortable, but with so many people watching, she didn’t struggle. “Nothing much, just that he has a kidney problem.”

She briefly recounted the events between Cao Lei and Peter. “I think there’s definitely something off about his visit to the country. Didn’t you say he has a criminal background?”

With such a background, it was unlikely he couldn’t find a good doctor or a kidney donor unless there were special circumstances.

“I’ll investigate the rest. You should avoid contact with him.” Gu Chen’s expression turned serious.

The fact that the Brown family’s three sons had come to the country in succession made him suspect some sort of conspiracy was being plotted.

“Brother Chen!” Xu Wen’s sweet voice rang out. “My grandpa wants to talk to you. He’s waiting in the lounge.”

She cast a disdainful glance at Song Fan. “Unimportant people shouldn’t go. You know how stubborn old people can be.”

Not wanting to disrespect Old Mr. Xu, Gu Chen nodded to Song Fan before following Xu Wen to the lounge.

But upon arriving, he found that Old Mr. Xu was not there; it was just Xu Wen and him.

“You tricked me?” Seeing the situation, Gu Chen understood what was happening and turned to leave.

This time, however, Xu Wen didn’t desperately try to stop him. Instead, she said slowly, “How could I deceive you? You’re poisoned; I’m here to help you.”

Gu Chen’s hand froze on the doorknob. Very few people knew about his condition, even within the Gu Family. How did Xu Wen know?

Seeing his reaction, Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xia Yu had not lied to her.

“You are my fiancé. I won’t just watch you die.” Relaxing, Xu Wen became more arrogant. “You don’t want Gu Corporation to be divided up after your death, do you? You’re still young. It’s a shame to die now, isn’t it?”

She knew no one wasn’t afraid of death. Having experienced it herself, she felt that survival instinct more strongly than others.

She believed Gu Chen felt the same way. What could be more effective than giving hope to someone facing death?

Sure enough, Gu Chen turned back, but his gaze was icy. “What do you want?”

“To save you, of course. I told you, I’ll save you.” Xu Wen stood up and walked to him. “We’ve known each other since childhood. Our mothers are best friends. Besides, you are my fiancé.”

“I’m not.” Gu Chen’s tone was flat. “I will never marry you.”

“Then forget about getting the Snow Red Flower!” Xu Wen said angrily. “If you don’t marry me, you’ll die! Are you willing to accept that?”

She had learned a lot about the Gu Family from Mrs. Xu recently. It hadn’t been easy for Gu Chen to hold on until now. She didn’t believe he would give up his career so easily, especially not when his life was at stake.

She thought having this information would make Gu Chen indulge her, but she was wrong.

“Don’t worry. Even if I die, I won’t marry you.” Gu Chen turned and left, leaving Xu Wen seething with anger.

Meanwhile, Peter approached Song Fan again, proposing a deal.

“I heard the Snow Red Flower is important to you?” His smile never left his face. “I’ll give you the Snow Red Flower, and Gu Chen can survive.”

He licked his dry lips, unable to drink much water or alcohol at such an event, which was quite torturous.

Thinking of Gu Chen, his eyes lit up again. As long as Gu Chen stayed alive, Peter could survive. He was certain he could get the Snow Red Flower from Charlie.

Mentioning the Snow Red Flower made Song Fan stop ignoring him. If it could indeed save Gu Chen, she wouldn’t mind performing the surgery for Peter.

However, she couldn’t agree too quickly. “Do you think the Snow Red Flower is as common as cabbage? Easily found?”

Even in B Country, it wasn’t easy to gather the necessary ingredients to detoxify Gu Chen, let alone for someone like Peter, who knew nothing about pharmacology.

Seeing her waver, Peter’s smile deepened. “Why don’t we make a deal?”
