Chapter 1952: Chapter 1947: All Mute Now?
"Are all of you dead? I brought you here just to play dumb?"
Seeing everyone fall silent, Yan Chengwei screamed madly.
They exchanged a glance and spoke reluctantly.
"We truly don’t know what’s going on!"
"Exactly, Brother Yan! We’re really at a loss."
"Don’t know? Useless, useless, you’re all completely useless!"
After cursing like this, Yan Chengwei looked at his poisoned hand and realized half his arm had already turned black.
And this wasn’t the scariest part; the scariest part was he began to lose control of that arm...
"This is disastrous, disastrous, disastrous!"
...
Seeing Yan Chengwei’s expression change, Hu Xiaobei smiled faintly and said, "What’s wrong? Haven’t found anything yet this time either? Could it be your instruments are truly useless? I thought the stuff you Western medicine people developed was decent, but now it seems they’re pure garbage."
"You... shut up!"
"Alright! If you don’t want to hear the truth, I’ll stop talking."
Hu Xiaobei shrugged lightly.
After that, Hu Xiaobei grabbed a handful of seeds and started eating again.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s calm demeanor, Yan Chengwei scrutinized Hu Xiaobei for a while.
Afterwards, he called over his subordinates and hoarsely said, "Earlier, Hu Xiaobei drank all the poison we provided, right?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes! They can all attest to it."
"That’s right, I saw it!"
"And me!"
Receiving such a definite response, he screamed in frustration, "Then why doesn’t he show any signs of poisoning? Didn’t we test on mice before? The poison acts in three minutes."
After thinking for a moment, the person explained softly, "Brother Yan, humans and mice aren’t the same! The poison might act a bit slower, but it will definitely act."
"Right, it will definitely act."
"Exactly, he can hold out for a bit longer, but soon he’ll be begging us on his knees."
Nodding slightly, Yan Chengwei looked venomously at Hu Xiaobei, "Let’s hope so! Alright, let’s not talk about that now, let’s prepare some antibiotics or something to treat it. I refuse to believe we can’t detoxify it."
"Yes!"
They agreed and started getting busy again...
...
Seeing them prepare again, Yan Chengwei looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "I don’t know why the poison you used couldn’t be detected, but that doesn’t matter, since detection is just one method of treatment. We Western medicine have countless ways to detoxify!"
"Is that so? That’s really impressive!"
Hu Xiaobei squinted and spoke calmly and casually.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s indifferent attitude, Yan Chengwei trembled all over.
"Keep feeling smug, soon I’ll have you beg at my feet!"
As he screamed venomously in his heart, he looked at his subordinates.
Seeing them ready with antibiotics, he hurried over.
Hu Xiaobei sat there calmly watching his treatment; Hu Xiaobei actually wanted to advise them because they were completely wasting their time.
His Nine Wood True Qi could only be resolved by himself.
Besides that, there was no other method whatsoever.
...
"Impossible, impossible!"
Half an hour later, Yan Chengwei shouted almost in collapse.
He was truly close to collapsing at this moment...
The reason for this was that during this half hour, he tried infusing antibiotics and penicillin, among other things, but to no effect whatsoever.
Hearing this angry shout, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "Why get so angry, it’s bad for your health. How about some seeds? They come in many flavors."
"You..."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s advice, he nearly spat out old blood.
Madly staring at Hu Xiaobei, Yan Chengwei yelled, "What poison did you use on me? Why can’t it be detected at all?"
Seeing him almost despairingly collapse, Hu Xiaobei smirked lightly, "So now you admit your Western medicine is useless? I warned you earlier, your Western medicine skills are inferior, but you didn’t believe me. Do you believe me now?"
Glaring at Hu Xiaobei fiercely, he shouted nearly hysterically, "Shut up! You must be cheating! You must be cheating."
"Since you say so, keep trying various methods. But soon, it might not be just amputation."
Hearing these words, he glanced at his poisoned arm, noticing it was now completely black...
"Damn it!"
Screaming inwardly, he looked at his subordinates and shouted loudly, "Are you all dead? Hurry up and think of something!"
"What can we do!"
Being shouted at like this, they subtly complained in their hearts.
Of course, they dared not voice this because they knew if they said it, they’d be scolded even worse.
So it’s best to keep silent now!’
"Useless, useless, all useless!"
Seeing them all silent, Yan Chengwei turned to Hu Xiaobei...
Very quickly, he hoarsely said, "I admit your Chinese Medicine does have extraordinary skills, how about calling this a draw? I’ll detoxify you and you detoxify me."
"A draw? I’m not interested in draws!"
"What do you mean? Are you saying I should concede?"
"You don’t have to concede! You can keep trying! There’s plenty of time!"
"You..."
His corner of the eye twitched as he looked at Hu Xiaobei and said coldly, "Does being human mean you must act this way? Being overly aggressive isn’t good either."
"Indeed, being aggressive is not good, but are you really human?"
On hearing Hu Xiaobei’s first half of the sentence, Yan Chengwei breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, his expression turned extremely ugly...
Very annoyed, he took a few deep breaths to suppress the impulse to explode and spoke again, "Hu Xiaobei, are you insisting on fighting me to the end? I don’t know why you haven’t shown any poison symptoms yet, but soon you will, and then it’ll be too late to regret. So before it happens, let’s negotiate!"
"Negotiate? Let’s wait until the poison takes effect! But I’m curious, can you hold out until then?"
"You... you... you..."
Yan Chengwei was so angry he couldn’t speak...
At this moment, he genuinely didn’t know what the situation was.
Earlier, Hu Xiaobei had clearly taken the poison provided by him, yet seemed perfectly fine.
Whereas he himself looked like he was about to die...
"Could it be he detoxified without even perceiving it? That’s incredible!"
Thinking of this possibility, Yan Chengwei couldn’t help but take a deep look at Hu Xiaobei...
