Chapter 182 – Neurotoxin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Yu was in a daze. And she felt as if she was floating in a clear, viscous liquid. There was nothing around her that she could grab onto. She felt terrified and desperate.

“Xiao Yu… Xiao Yu…” a low voice called out beside her ear, but it seemed to be very far away. Qin Yu thought the voice sounded familiar. It made her feel a trace of warmth and hope. She wanted to grab onto this voice.., she wanted to give a response, but she couldn’t move her body.

“How is Xiao Yu?” Xu Da stood beside the bed anxiously. Seeing Qin Yu’s pale face and pale lips, he was extremely nervous and worried. Even his tone was trembling.

Ning Chen looked at Qin Yu with a fixated gaze. His eyes seemed to have lost focus. His mind wandered around, and half of his handsome and flawless side face had an ice sculpture-like coldness.

It was not until Xu Da asked again that Ning Chen returned to his senses. He answered, speaking in an empty tone, “It’s a neurotoxin.”

Xu Da and Chu Nan were both stunned. After a long while, Chu Nan asked, “What do you mean?”

Chang An, the assistant standing next to Ning Chen, explained, “Neurotoxin mainly acts on the toxins in the nerve channels. When it reaches the junction of the motor nerves and muscles, it will cause the striated muscles to not contract, which will quickly lead to respiratory paralysis and suffocation…”

“Someone will die?” Xu Da interrupted, before Chang An could finish his sentence.

Chang An took a step back in fear. He whispered, “I didn’t say Ms. Qin would die…”

“She won’t die, she’s just unconscious,” Ning Chen explained.

“What’s wrong with you? She was lively when I handed her over to you, how did she become like this? She almost lost her life previously, and this time…” Chu Nan’s tone contained a strong murderous intent, he looked at Ning Chen gloomily with an extremely ugly expression.

“I’m sorry.” Ning Chen didn’t know what to say and could only think of apologizing.

“What’s the use of your apology? Can she wake up? How could you send her to such a dangerous place!” Xu Da walked forward, raised his hand and pointed at Ning Chen’s face and yelled.

Ning Chen’s gaze fell on Qin Yu, who was lying unconscious on the bed. After a long while, he said again, “I’m sorry.”

Although it was Qin Yu who insisted on putting herself in danger, Ning Chen did not want to find an excuse for himself now.

It was his fault for not protecting Qin Yu well.

He should not have allowed her to step into danger step by step. It was his fault for being incompetent.

“You…” seeing that Ning Chen had no intention of defending himself, Xu Da felt as if his anger had hit a ball of cotton. He didn’t know where to place his anger now.

“Mr. Xu, Mr. Chu, please calm down. We found the needle at the scene and found that there were still two-thirds of the toxins in it. This means that Ms. Qin’s body only contains one-third of the neurotoxins. Her condition is not that bad, and the symptoms of her neurological dysfunction are not that serious. Logically speaking, when the neurotoxins take effect, the toxins spreads very quickly. However, the toxins in Miss Qin’s body didn’t manage to do it just yet. After we arrived, we immediately gave her antitoxins. She is stable now.”

Chang An poked his head out from behind Ning Chen and defended Ning Chen.

Qin Yu’s current situation was not too bad, but it wasn’t good either. Chang An picked only the good things to say so Ning Chen wouldn’t suffer the old men’s wrath.

Ning Chen waved his hand and told Chang An to stop talking.

He would rather Xu Da and Chu Nan beat him up. Perhaps he’d feel better.

“Forget it. I don’t think Xiao Yu would want us to scold you like this. All she thinks of is you.” Xu Da let out a long sigh and sat on the chair weakly. He looked tired and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

“Why would she go to such a place alone?”

Chu Nan rushed over immediately after the incident. When he saw the man-made base deep in the mountains, he was also stunned.

Ning Chen frowned slightly and told them how Qin Yu had used Shi Xiao’s hands to trick the people behind the scenes.

“Nonsense! Nonsense! Why didn’t you tell us? Do you know how dangerous this is?”

“I know,” Ning Chen replied rigidly.

“What do you know? She wants to do it and you allow her? Of course we have to investigate the truth, but the living is more important than the dead. If Xiao Yu’s parents in heaven find out that this is how we’re looking after their daughter, I’m afraid they’ll curse us to death!” Chu Nan said angrily..
