Ai ShuQiao's actions were hard to understand.
So what if I put an engagement ring on the class leader? It's not like it's a magic ring, can't I break the engagement?
Also, what does John's family ring have to do with me? It's fine if it's for Ai Mi, but isn't it insulting me when it's related to me?
It wouldn't matter even if the ring was put on, but the class leader was still frightened and instinctively tried to dodge and resist. Right when they couldn't hold back — — "Pata."
Short and sharp poisonous fangs extended out of the silver ring. The class leader's index finger was instantly cut and a few drops of blood flowed out.
"Ah, I'm really sorry, I accidentally triggered a trap." Ai ShuQiao put away the ring and explained to the class leader, "John's family is an ancient family from England. The poisonous needle on the engagement ring is to protect the bride's chastity."
The class leader tried her best to pull herself together, but the poison quickly entered her bloodstream. Her resolute eyes became blurry and her body began to sway uncontrollably to the side. I quickly supported her from the side.
"You clearly did it on purpose." I roared at Ai ShuQiao, "What poison did you use? Where's the antidote? "
Uncle Fireball, who was observing us from the bar counter, also noticed something was wrong. He was worried about his niece's safety and walked over, but he was stopped by one of Ai ShuQiao's bodyguards.
"Move! What's wrong with my niece? If you keep blocking my way … "
After two years of recuperation and rehabilitation, Uncle Fireball's right arm had recovered sixty to seventy percent of its original strength. As a former forest ranger, he was not to be trifled with. However, before he could even grab the bodyguard's shirt, he was subdued by the other party with a speed that was too fast to see.
It seemed to have the shadow of Israeli military martial arts, but the class leader's health was more important, so I didn't have the time to think about the bodyguard's martial arts style.
"Give me the antidote." I hugged the semi-conscious class leader and shouted at Ai ShuQiao, "Otherwise, I'll let you have a taste of this poison."
I planned to snatch Ai ShuQiao's ring and stab her with my fangs, but the other bodyguard in the coffee shop walked over and quietly stood in a position where he could block my path of attack at any time.
If Peng TouSi's Battle Power is 10, then the average Battle Power of these four bodyguards is at least 6. I don't have any chance of winning in a frontal battle.
Ai ShuQiao calmly held out a hand to stop me, "Ye Lin, don't be so agitated, I only accidentally hurt Shu Sha. The venom in the ring comes from a relatively mild type of snake venom. It will only paralyze the body for two hours. Shu Sha's life won't be in danger. "
"Snake venom? Then hurry up and hand over the antidote! "
"Aiyaya, I must have left the antidote in the Imperial Building." Ai ShuQiao said with a fake apology, "Every second counts. Let's take Ai Mi's helicopter to avoid traffic."
Because Ai Mi had a fear of heights, she didn't use the helicopter much after she bought it. Now it was parked on the top floor of the principal's building. Peng TouSi would perform maintenance every month to ensure it was always in a usable state.
A black car stopped in front of the cafe. Even though I knew it was all planned by Ai ShuQiao, I still had no choice but to help the class leader into the car and we headed towards the principal's building.
"What will happen to the class leader in two hours if we don't get the antidote?" I asked Ai ShuQiao who was sitting in the copilot seat.
"In two hours?" Ai ShuQiao propped up her forehead and thought for a bit, "It seems there will be serious allergic side effects, and there's also a precedent of blindness … But Shu Sha is blessed, Peng TouSi just repaired the helicopter yesterday. We should be able to land at the Imperial Building in half an hour at most."
It's not blessed, but you specifically told Peng TouSi to maintain the helicopter for today. What's your goal? Why did you deliberately plan to bring the class leader to the Imperial Building?
Although I knew there was a trap waiting for me, I couldn't take the risk of blinding the class leader. I could only take it one step at a time. I'll first take the helicopter to the Imperial Building and give the class leader the antidote.
"I want to bring Dr. Yu as well." I requested before the helicopter took off, "I have to make sure the antidote you inject into the class leader doesn't contain any harmful ingredients."
"Sure." Ai ShuQiao waved her hand and signaled one of her bodyguards to give up his spot on the helicopter, "Dr. Yu can come along, and I can also let him keep a portion of the antidote so he can conduct a detailed analysis afterwards. Also, if there's another accident, there's no need to travel so far. "
There wasn't enough space on the helicopter. Other than the pilot Peng TouSi, me, the class leader, Dr. Yu, Ai ShuQiao, and Ai ShuQiao's two bodyguards, there was no room for anyone else. Even Ai Mi could only watch as the helicopter took off.
As we ascended, I could see the entire layout of Qing Zi High. But I didn't have the mood to admire it, I could only hope the helicopter would reach its destination quickly.
The class leader collapsed beside me with a pale face. She closed her eyes and whispered in a small voice: "No, no …"
What are you rejecting? Is your consciousness already in a mess?
I looked at the class leader's injured index finger and noticed the blood around the wound had already coagulated. The blood vessels on the back of her hand and wrist also didn't show any obvious changes. It seems like it really wasn't venom.
Dr. Yu looked back at the class leader and seemed to have noticed something. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back down.
"Don't say anything unnecessary." Ai ShuQiao reminded, "Maybe you don't think the snake venom in Shu Sha's body is that dangerous, but you can't let a patient take a risk. A conservative estimate is that we'll be able to get the antidote in ten minutes. "
I didn't look out of the helicopter since I was afraid of heights like Ai Mi. Instead, I silently held the class leader's hand so she wouldn't feel lonely and helpless while unconscious.
As soon as the helicopter landed on the roof of the Imperial Building, a medical staff in a white coat ran over with a first-aid kit containing the serum. He raced against time to hand the serum to Dr. Yu.
It was not too late to neutralize the snake venom. Without wasting any time, Professor Yu took out various medical supplies from the first-aid kit and swiftly assembled them together.
"Show me Shu Sha's arm." Dr. Yu said to me after injecting the serum into a syringe.
"Is there no problem with the serum?" I looked at Ai ShuQiao with a doubtful gaze.
"There are ten sets of serum in the first aid kit." Ai ShuQiao pointed out, "Dr. Yu has enough samples to take back for testing. If I wanted to murder Shu Sha, I would have plenty of ways to do so. Why would I go through all this trouble and even leave behind so much evidence? "
I knew I couldn't wait any longer when I saw the class leader's drowsy appearance. I could only roll up the class leader's sleeves and let Dr. Yu inject the serum.
As expected of a specialized antidote, the class leader's eyes regained a trace of clarity in less than five minutes.
"Where, where am I? What's wrong? My throat is so dry … "
"Let's go sit in the Monarch building and rehydrate." Ai ShuQiao invited, "It's very windy here, you'll catch a cold if you stay too long."
I haven't entered the Monarch building ever since the Scientific Happiness Sect rebelled. I don't think the class leader and I would be stuck in there with Dr. Yu and Peng TouSi accompanying us.
It was necessary to let the class leader rest a bit. Also, with this opportunity to enter the enemy's lair, I can use my eyes to see what changes happened inside the Monarch building.
The Monarch building's corridors maintained its original appearance, but there were no forced rabbits patrolling and Su Qiao was no longer the front desk manager, so it seemed a bit unfamiliar.
When I supported the class leader past the luxurious private room on the east side of the Monarch building, Ai ShuQiao suggested we go there to rest, but the class leader bluntly refused.
"Something bad happened in this room two years ago. Even if I don't care, would Ye Lin not care?"
The class leader was right, the reason I was unconscious for eighteen months was related to Zheng Weizun's kidnapping of the class leader, Xiao Qin, and Ai Mi. That incident happened in this luxurious private room.
The class leader's hostility towards Ai ShuQiao deepened after she was stabbed by a poisonous needle.
"I'll just rest in the small room next door. I don't want anything other than water, we'll be leaving soon."
Ai ShuQiao shrugged and satisfied us. After I entered the room, I realized it was where Fang Xin used to live. After it was cleaned, all the waste paper on the floor was gone. Other than a bed and a lamp, there was no other furniture.
The class leader drank half a glass of water, then laid on the bed to rest. She also told me to call the school for her.
"… Yes, it was just a small accident. Principal He, don't worry and don't tell Shu Sha's parents, we'll be back soon …"
When I was making the call in the washroom, I was surprised to find a secret door that wasn't closed properly. After I opened the door, it was pitch black inside and I didn't know where the spiral staircase led to.
Could it be that Fang Xin and Huo Jiangdong escaped from here? Would I discover a secret if I went down?
I took a step down out of curiosity, then I retracted my leg.
No, even with Peng TouSi guarding the door, I can't leave the class leader alone in the room. What if the secret room below is another one of Ai ShuQiao's traps?
"I still don't feel good … I need to wash my face with cold water."
At this time, the class leader walked into the washroom while rubbing her temples. She saw me hesitating in front of the dark tunnel.
"What's that?" The class leader was surprised, "Is it an underground prison?"
After the class leader mentioned it, I remembered I did enter an underground prison through a secret passage in the pantry. The person locked inside was Zhuang Ni.
Maybe this secret passage also led to the prison where Zhuang Ni was locked, but it could also lead to other places.
"Do you want to go down and take a look?" I turned on the flashlight on my smartwatch and used the weak light to disperse the darkness in front of me.
For an OCD patient, it's impossible to lie down and rest if there's an unexplored secret passage in the room, so the class leader nodded seriously.
"There's air flow." The class leader sniffed the secret passage, "It should be ventilated, but the smell …"
The class leader furrowed her brows as she inherited the hunter's soul.
"It smells like blood … what's down there?"
