BXBX NOVEL Chapter 553: Xize
Chapter 553: Xize
“Miss Song, is it time for acupuncture?” He checked the time; it was almost midnight. Song Fan rarely came this late.
Song Fan walked to Gu Chen’s bedside, took his pulse to ensure his condition was stable, and then took out the antidote.
Su Ming watched her with excitement. “Is this the antidote?”
“Like last time, it can temporarily suppress the poison, at least enough to wake him up.” Song Fan quickly injected the antidote into Gu Chen and, while Su Ming wasn’t paying attention, pocketed the blood-stained cotton ball.
Su Ming didn’t notice her unusual action. “That’s great. As long as we have some antidote, we can suppress the poison.”
He had great faith in Song Fan, believing that as long as she was by Gu Chen’s side, he would surely survive.
Song Fan sighed. She knew that if such a situation occurred again, even she might not be able to save him.
But at that moment, she was thinking about something else. “Su Ming, have Sun Zhi or Sun Gao take over for you. Go get some rest. He won’t wake up for another five or six hours.”
Seeing that she was about to leave, Su Ming was puzzled. “Miss Song, are you leaving now? Aren’t you going to wait for Mr. Gu to wake up?”
Although Song Fan didn’t say it, Su Ming and the others around her could see that she cared a lot about Gu Chen and would usually stay until he woke up.
But Song Fan had already put on her coat. She had collected the tissue Peter had coughed into earlier, planning to compare the DNA of Gu Chen and Peter. They were definitely not father and son, but there was a high probability they were related.
Song Fan wound her way through the hospital to the outpatient building, where a man was already waiting for her in a doctor’s office.
“Well, Asina, you’re rarely late!” The man, who had been sleeping on the desk, yawned deeply. “I didn’t expect you to have such connections. I saw the Lingdong launch event—a big deal! But this time, if you want my help, it’ll cost you!”
Song Fan pulled out two sealed bags from her pocket. “Xize, you’re doing well now, huh? Or should I call you Director Wang? I hear you need to book an appointment with you half a month in advance?”
Xize had also been part of the mercenary group, always appearing as a doctor. Unlike others, Xize loved both money and thrills. Being a doctor also fed his love for the adrenaline rush of surgery.
His appointment as the director at the Capital First Hospital was a fluke. His exceptional skills and passion for working long hours quickly elevated him from a resident to a director.
If Song Fan hadn’t researched on the dark web to find out which old acquaintances were still in the capital, she wouldn’t have known Xize had become a renowned doctor.
“What’s this?” He reluctantly picked up the items from the table. “You want me to do a DNA test? I’m the esteemed Director Wang!”
“Director Wang? Wang Chao? As far as I know, no one in your family is named Wang, right?” Song Fan raised an eyebrow. “Giving yourself such a common name doesn’t suit you.”
Xize rolled his eyes hard. “‘Wang’ means king, the highest leader. ‘Chao’ means surpassing. I want to surpass everyone!”
Then he gave Song Fan a look that said, “You don’t get it,” and added, “From now on, call me Wang Chao, Director Wang.”
Song Fan rolled her eyes back at him. “Fine, Director Wang. I’ll be back for the paternity test report before dawn. Good luck, Director Wang!”
After leaving the hospital, Song Fan didn’t go home but returned to the lab to continue researching Wu Yong’s experiments, hoping to find some clues.
Before dawn, she received a call.
“Dear Asina, the two samples you gave me aren’t a parent-child match. Sorry to disappoint you. But they are definitely related.” Xize’s voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.
Song Fan replied irritably, “As long as it’s confirmed they’re related, that’s good enough. Send me the report; I won’t be coming back.”
“Do you know that staying up late every night is like chronic suicide? I’ve waited and done tests for you, staying up for hours.” Xize’s voice turned plaintive. “I think I’ve lost a few hairs, and my hairline is receding…”
“I’ll send you a pair of Lingdong diamond cufflinks.” Song Fan quickly cut him off.
The next second, her phone received the paternity test report, and Xize’s voice turned cheerful, “Great, love you!”
