Chapter 680 — Restoring Confidence
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Of course, Young Master Bing thought this way because he did not understand how fearsome the Seven Grasses Death Powder truly was. Only the Medicine King himself knew in his heart how terrifying and formidable it was! He had assumed this poisoning was a sure thing, because even he had no antidote for this poison, let alone the ordinary hospitals!
He had never imagined that Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals could compound an antidote for the Seven Grasses Death Powder! He truly did not believe it, yet the facts left him no choice. After all, the other side really had identified the cause of the students' comas and had named the poison as the Seven Grasses Death Powder -- which meant they had some understanding of this poison, and so the antidote must be real as well. Otherwise, no company would gamble with its own future. Whether the poison was cured or not had nothing to do with Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals; if they couldn't cure it, why would they take on such a task?
It seemed the other side's medical skills were no trifling matter!
Guan Daifu, Guan Xuewen... In the past, the Medicine King had never taken Guan Xuewen seriously. Although this man was honored as a divine physician by the Four Great Families and the Five Minor Families, the hidden families all had their own personal physicians, and the Medicine King was one of the Zhao family's personal physicians!
But now the Medicine King was forced to take Guan Xuewen seriously. It seemed the man really did have some skill?
Guan Xuewen, I'll remember you. I will contend with you and see who is the better!

At the same time the news broadcast went out, Gao Xiaofu also learned of it. He too had been sent home when school let out!
After going home, Gao Xiaofu felt fear in his heart, but also a certain excitement -- the excitement of having done something bad! It was the first time he had ever done something so wicked, poisoning others! When he saw the ambulances shriek out of the school carrying the twenty-eight students, and then learned that the hospital had issued critical condition notices for them, a strange, inexplicable thrill surged in his heart!
But after that came deep worry. After all, those were twenty-eight lives -- if they died just like that, then he would be the murderer!
Earlier, when the hospital could not determine any cause, Gao Xiaofu had breathed a sigh of relief. True, he had poisoned those students, but there was no evidence -- even the hospital couldn't provide an answer. When the time came, the whole thing would probably just be quietly dropped!
But it was not long before a company called Dr. Guan Pharmaceuticals held a press conference. Not only had they identified the cause of the students' fainting, they had also handed the formula for the Seven Grasses Death Powder over to the police. In other words, the police would soon begin their investigation, and when that happened, if they traced things back to the cafeteria food, it would be all too easy for suspicion to fall on him and Zhong Yongliang!
Now Gao Xiaofu was genuinely alarmed. He hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed Zhong Yongliang's number. He had to talk things over with Zhong Yongliang and work out a plan; he could hardly just sit around waiting for the police to come knocking at his door, could he?
Zhong Yongliang had just finished his kidney transplant and was lying in the hospital basking in the sunshine outside the window, feeling thoroughly pleased with himself. Life really was wonderful, he thought. Having a kidney was a fine thing indeed; he felt as though he had regained his confidence as a man!
The phone rang. Zhong Yongliang picked it up and saw that it was Gao Xiaofu calling.
