BXBX NOVEL Chapter 282 - Death Curse
Chapter 282: Death Curse
The curtains were drawn open a small gap. Through the gap, one could see the traces of rain on the window glass.
She continued to lie lazily for a few minutes before sitting up.
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Li Yan looked at her, who was unaware that the blanket had slid down to her collarbone. He walked to the wardrobe and got her a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of pants. “It’s chilly today.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo waited for Li Yan to hand her the clothes before taking them to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, Li Yan had already pulled open all the curtains.
Chu Luo walked over to look out of the window and happened to see the rose petals in the courtyard falling to the ground.
When the two of them went downstairs, Chu Luo said to the butler, “Butler, after the rain stops, get someone to pick all the roses in the courtyard.”
She planned to use them for beauty products.
“Okay, Miss Chu.”
The butler got someone to deliver breakfast to them.
Halfway through breakfast, a servant strode in and said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, Professor Tang said that he has something important to discuss with you.”
Chu Luo quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up.
Li Yan grabbed her wrist and said to the servant, “Invite Professor Tang in.”
The servant immediately left.
Li Yan said to Chu Luo, “Eat more.”
Chu Luo nodded and scooped a few spoonfuls of porridge to eat.
Professor Tang was brought in by the butler. At this moment, he looked anxious. “Little Chu, something bad has happened.”
Chu Luo quickly stood up and asked, “Professor Tang, what happened?”
Professor Tang then realized that there was a man sitting beside Chu Luo. He thought about Old Master Sun’s identity and hesitated.
Chu Luo could tell what he was thinking and said, “Yan is not an outsider. Just speak.”
Professor Tang nodded. “Just now, the Sun family called and said that he had an allergic reaction to the medicine he took. Old Master Sun is already in a coma.”
Hearing this, Chu Luo frowned. “We’ve checked his medicine before. Why are there allergic symptoms?”
Professor Tang was also curious about this. “I’m not sure, but the Sun family has already sent a helicopter over. Get ready, the helicopter should be here soon.”
Just as Professor Tang finished speaking, his phone rang.
He quickly picked up the call. She didn’t know what the other party said, but he quickly replied, “Okay, we’ll be right there.”
After hanging up the phone, he said to Chu Luo, “The helicopter is already parked in the open space in front.”
Chu Luo’s things were all in the Heaven-and-Earth pouch. She didn’t need to bring anything and was prepared to leave with him.
Li Yan stopped her. “Luoluo.”
After saying that, he stood up and said to the butler standing by the door, “Prepare an umbrella.”
After saying that, he said to her, “Go get a coat.”
Chu Luo opened her mouth to say that she wasn’t cold, but Li Yan walked upstairs. His steps were wide as he said, “Eat something more. I’ll get it for you.”
When Professor Tang heard this, he said, “Then, Little Chu, eat more. You’ll be busy over there for a long time.”
Chu Luo nodded and sat down to eat the porridge.
Before long, Li Yan came down with a coat.
Chu Luo took the coat and turned around to walk towards the door with Professor Tang.
She took the umbrella from the butler and walked into the rain.
The moment the two of them left, Li Yan said to the butler, “Prepare the car.”
“Yes.”
…
When Chu Luo and Professor Tang walked to the helicopter, they saw Sun Tianhao standing there with a tense face.
As soon as he saw the two of them approaching, he looked like he had something to say.
Chu Luo said, “Get into the helicopter first.”
Sun Tianhao nodded.
After the three of them boarded the helicopter, Sun Tianhao couldn’t help but growl in a trembling voice, “What exactly is going on? Why did your medicine make my grandfather allergic?”
After saying that, he bowed and covered his face with his hands. After a few seconds, he said, “Sorry, I’m not throwing a tantrum at you.”
Professor Tang patted his shoulder. “It’s okay. We know how you feel.”
Chu Luo looked at him and knew that Old Master Sun’s current situation must be very dangerous. She asked, “Tell us about this morning’s situation. Tell us the details.”
Sun Tianhao thought for a while before saying, “Grandfather was fine when he woke up this morning. We followed your instructions and fed him some spinach porridge while he was taking his medicine. After drinking the porridge, we asked the nurse to feed him the medicine.
“After Grandfather took the medicine, he suddenly had many red blisters on his body that looked like rashes. Then, he fainted because he couldn’t breathe properly.”
“Did you give him any oxygen after he fainted?”
“Yes.”
“What color was Old Master Sun’s face when you came out?”
“It’s a little purple.” At this point, Sun Tianhao’s lips trembled a few times. He clenched his fists to control his emotions.
Chu Luo and Professor Tang looked at each other.
Professor Tang said, “There’s no problem with the medicine and the porridge.”
Chu Luo nodded. “It must be something else that triggered Old Master Sun.”
“What is it?” Sun Tianhao stared at her with red eyes. “My grandfather’s room was set up according to your request. Nothing extra was placed inside.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and looked back at him. “Do you think our prescription was wrong?”
“I didn’t mean that.” Sun Tianhao raised his hand to touch his face. “I was just too anxious, so my tone was a little bad. I’m not suspecting you. If you really did something to the medicine, you wouldn’t have saved my grandfather when he underwent surgery.”
Chu Luo was satisfied with his words and said, “Don’t be anxious. As long as Old Master Sun is still alive when we get there, I can definitely save him.”
Sun Tianhao: “…” Why did this sound so awkward?
The helicopter quickly arrived at the Sun residence.
As soon as Chu Luo and Professor Tang alighted from the helicopter, they were surrounded by a few youngsters from the Sun family.
The Sun family had six juniors—four men and two women. Sun Tianhao was the youngest, and the others had already established their families.
At this moment, their eyes were red. When they saw the two of them, their faces were filled with suppressed anger.
One of the men shouted at them with a cold face, “Why are you here only now? If anything happens to my grandfather, I will definitely not let you off.”
The others didn’t have good expressions either.
Chu Luo glanced at the man and was about to speak when Sun Tianhao blocked Chu Luo by his side and said, “Fourth Brother, calm down. Let them see Grandpa first.”
The man then moved aside.
Under Sun Tianhao’s lead, Chu Luo and Professor Tang strode towards the house behind.
At this moment, the rain had become even heavier than before. None of the juniors from the Sun family had an umbrella. Everyone was drenched.
Chu Luo opened the umbrella as soon as she alighted from the helicopter. Seeing that Professor Tang didn’t open an umbrella, she approached him and raised hers.
This made all the juniors of the Sun family look at her.
Everyone walked to Old Master Sun’s house. Chu Luo put away her umbrella and strode in. When she walked into the living room, she said to them, “Don’t follow me in. Old Master Sun can’t catch a cold in his current condition. The cold aura on your bodies is too strong.”
They stopped.
Chu Luo and Professor Tang strode to Old Master Sun’s room.
Professor Tang knocked on the door and it was quickly opened.
The two of them walked in and didn’t say anything. They walked straight to Old Master Sun’s bed. Professor Tang quickly examined him. Chu Luo said to everyone, “Leave one person here. Everyone else, get out.”
Eldest Master Sun stayed behind.
After the examination, Professor Tang said to Chu Luo, “Old Master Sun’s surface symptoms are indeed an allergic reaction, but his tongue is dark and there are signs of poisoning.”
“How is that possible!” Eldest Master Sun didn’t believe it at all. “Who would dare to poison my father in our family?”
After saying that, he thought of the two nurses and his face turned ashen.
Eldest Master Sun walked to the door and said to the person outside in a low voice, “Restrain the two nurses.”
The person outside the door quickly restrained the two nurses.
Chu Luo quickly took out a set of silver needles and placed them on the table beside her. She took out a silver needle and stabbed it into Old Master Sun’s arm.
After more than ten seconds, she pulled out the silver needle and looked at it. She said with certainty, “It’s not poison.”
Eldest Master Sun quickly walked over. “What’s that?”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and looked around the entire room. She pointed at the clean bedpan in the corner. “Bring it here.”
Although Eldest Master Sun didn’t know what Chu Luo wanted to do, he still walked over to take the bedpan.
Chu Luo gestured at him. “Take off the label.”
Eldest Master Sun did as he was told. When he saw that there was an additional talisman under the label, his expression changed drastically.
“This is…”
“This is a Death Curse. It’s obvious that someone wants Old Master Sun to die.”
Eldest Master Sun was so angry that he wanted to tear the charm on it.
Chu Luo said, “It’s useless even if you tear it. This thing must have been stuck on it last night. The curse has long entered Old Master Sun’s body. That talisman is already useless.”
Eldest Master Sun’s face turned ashen.
After saying that, Chu Luo walked to the bed and looked at Old Master Sun. She said to Eldest Master Sun, “Go prepare something for me… Mm, a black dog.”
After Eldest Master Sun heard what she wanted, he looked at her suspiciously. “Why do you want a black dog?”
“I want its blood.”
“You know how to cure curses?” At this point, a sharp glint flashed across Eldest Master Sun’s eyes. “Not everyone can do such a thing. Chu Luo, you have to think carefully.”
Professor Tang also looked at Chu Luo worriedly. He thought that Little Chu was being too bold. What if something really happened to Old Master Sun?
Chu Luo’s face darkened slightly and she said, “You can choose not to believe me, but with Old Master Sun’s current situation, even if you sent someone to invite such experts over, it would be too late.”
