Chapter 1232: Chapter 1236: Actually Guessed Right on the First Try
Two doctors arrived quickly.
Although one of them specialized in pediatrics, she could also treat adults; it was just that pediatrics was her forte.
Moreover, the general practitioner was a male doctor, and the pediatrician was a female doctor.
For treating Ye Xingbei, there was no doubt a female doctor would be more convenient.
After examining Ye Xingbei, the general practitioner reported to Gu Junzhu, “Young Master, the Young Madam has been poisoned.”
“Poisoned?” Gu Junzhu’s brows furrowed sharply. “What poison?”
“We can’t tell,” the doctor said with sha. “It must be so kind of rare poison… Young Master, look at this.”
The doctor picked up Ye Xingbei’s hand, showing her fingernails to Gu Junzhu: “The Young Madam’s vitals are all normal, except for the roots of her fingernails, which exhibit an unusual purple color. It was based on this that I suspected the Young Madam had been poisoned; otherwise, I would be completely clueless.”
Gu Junzhu took Ye Xingbei’s hand and looked at it closely.
Indeed, all ten of Ye Xingbei’s fingers had an enchanting purplish-red color at the roots of her nails.
Normally, they should be pale.
He held Ye Xingbei’s hand, staring at the base of her nails with a deep and stern gaze, and pulled out his phone to call Gu Chi: “Get Yue Yaer back here imdiately!”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and asked the two doctors, “Is there a risk to her life?”
“Not at the mont,” replied the general practitioner. “The Young Madam’s vital signs are completely normal right now, so there should be no imdiate risk to her life. However, because we have no understanding of the poison affecting the Young Madam and we don’t know how it will progress, we can’t predict how it might develop later. Therefore, it’s best to detoxify her as soon as possible.”
Gu Junzhu asked, “Can you determine how Beibei was poisoned?”
The doctor hesitated, “If there are no wounds on the parts of the Young Madam’s body covered by clothing, then she probably ingested sothing poisonous. The possibility of inhaling toxic gas is not significant, as that would also have poisoned those around her. But currently, only the Young Madam has shown symptoms. Young Master, perhaps you can…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Junzhu’s phone rang.
Gu Junzhu picked up the phone and glanced at it.
An unfamiliar number.
A realization struck him, and with a cold quirk of his lips, he answered the call.
“Fifth Lord of Gu?”
The voice coming through the receiver was lodious and seductive, soft and sweet, enough to sway and weaken the knees of soone with little willpower with just a few words.
Gu Junzhu’s gaze deepened as he asked indifferently, “Is the poison in Beibei’s system your doing?”
The woman laughed, “Fifth Master is really smart, guessing it right away.”
Gu Junzhu asked, “What do you want?”
The woman laughed enticingly, her voice coquettishly piercing, “Fifth Master… what’s the point of talking so coldly over the phone? Why don’t you co to see ?”
Her voice was sweet and alluring, filled with a bone-softening charm: “Fifth Master, I’m so lonely all alone in my room, please co and see … Zhou City Grand Hotel, Room 1618. Don’t stand up!”
The woman laughed a few more tis, and then the call was disconnected.
Gu Junzhu put away his phone and said to the two doctors, “Keep an eye on Beibei. Call imdiately if there’s any change.”
The two doctors bowed in acknowledgnt.
Gu Junzhu changed his clothes and hurried downstairs.
Gu Chi was already waiting outside the living room.
Seeing Gu Junzhu co out of the living room, Gu Chi approached, “Young Master.”
