Chapter 557: Biased

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Wu Yong continued, “Moreover, the antidote and the poison are complementary. If the antidote dosage isn’t sufficient, given Mr. Gu’s condition, those antidotes might turn into fatal poison.”

Hearing his words, Peter and Charlie exchanged glances, both feeling a bit nervous. They had gathered information on Gu Chen’s condition from various sources, and it was indeed as Song Fan had described. Now, with Wu Yong saying the same thing, it seemed Song Fan was telling the truth.

Compared to Peter’s nervousness, Charlie was more pleased. Now that he was the only one with the snow lotus, Peter needed him. Although he also wanted to cooperate with Song Fan, obtaining benefits from Peter first was more advantageous.

Charlie said regretfully, “Gu Chen’s fate really isn’t good. However, fortunately, I had someone find two more snow lotuses earlier. At least we can save his life. Saving his life is like saving big brother’s, right?”

Peter’s situation was known to Song Fan, and naturally, Charlie could find out too. He felt confident in his victory.

“Petty gains.” Peter looked at him coldly. “Hand over the snow lotus, and I’ll give you 1% of the shares.”

Charlie burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke. He leaned closer to Peter, “Big brother’s and father’s lives are worth only 1% of the shares? I want your bases in B Country and A Country, with all the proceeds going to me. Then, I’ll give you the snow lotus.”

“Don’t even think about it!” Peter gritted his teeth in anger. Those two bases were his most profitable drug trading points. If he gave them to Charlie, what would he have left?

Wu Yong’s research on new products was not yet complete, and he couldn’t afford to give up his money tree.

Charlie, however, was in no hurry. “No problem, big brother. Take your time. Think about it for a month if you need to. I just don’t know if Gu Chen can last that long.”

Laughing heartily, he picked up the snow lotus on the table and left the lab. Peter watched him leave with a gloomy expression.

Peter couldn’t afford to wait, and neither could Old Brown risk Gu Chen having an accident. That day, Charlie received a call from Old Brown, directly offering him a business line in exchange.

“Father, you are too biased.” Charlie felt it wasn’t enough.

He had already started meddling in this business line, even taking over part of Old Brown’s business. Now saying that the whole line was his, he felt he was at a disadvantage.

“My jewelry brand has been doing quite well, and now this business line is not just yours.” His tone seemed respectful, but there was an underlying threat. “Gu Chen doesn’t have much time left. It’s too late for you to find the snow lotus now, right?”

Unexpectedly, Old Brown was just as ruthless. “Yes, he doesn’t have much time. Your mother doesn’t either.”

From the other end of the phone came a woman’s wretched screams. Charlie tightly gripped his phone but didn’t make a sound. He knew that if he backed down now, it would be even harder to get benefits in the future. However, if he stayed silent, the woman’s screams grew more agonizing.

“Enough!” Charlie finally spoke up. “Half of the snow lotus will go to Peter. That will keep Gu Chen alive!”

He didn’t say more and hung up the phone. Immediately, he received a photo of a woman beaten to a pulp. He quickly deleted the photo and closed his eyes.

After two minutes, he called Peter. “Big brother, send someone to get the snow lotus.”

Looking at the three snow lotuses in front of her, Song Fan frowned.

Peter explained earnestly, “You know how rare the snow lotus is. I paid a high price to get these from Charlie.”

Although he smiled at Song Fan, he had cursed Charlie thousands of times in his heart. Charlie had taken the benefits but held back, not wanting Gu Chen to fully recover.

Song Fan lowered her head, seemingly examining the lotuses, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief. She was just a little short of having enough antidote.

Suddenly, she noticed something odd on one of the snow lotus leaves, like a symbol.

“Miss Song, is there something wrong with the snow lotus?” Seeing her expression change, Peter was more anxious than she was.

The doctor had said his remaining kidney was failing fast. He needed a transplant soon, which meant Gu Chen had to recover quickly.

Song Fan calmed her emotions and shook her head. “The potency is much less than before. These might only be enough to wake him up.”
