Chapter 1284: Gu Poison Attack

Jiang Xue sat in the car, slightly closing her eyes, appearing as if she was resting. Mr. Lan saw her like this and felt quite satisfied. However, Ah Huan was somewhat displeased. Previously, at school, because there were outsiders, some things were not easy to discuss.

Additionally, with the old man’s critical illness, there wasn’t any mind to talk about other matters. But now, in this car filled with familiar people, Jiang Xue still acted as if she was ignoring him. It would be strange for him to feel comfortable.

So, when he saw Jiang Xue resting her eyes, he reached out and tugged on her sleeve, saying, "Jiang Xue, come on, are you sleepy this early in the morning?"

"What is it?" Jiang Xue opened her eyes and glanced at Ah Huan, somewhat displeased. Naturally, she wasn’t sleepy but rather she didn’t want to know the route the car was taking or where they were headed.

After all, some things are better left unknown. After all, the identity of that old man doesn’t seem simple.

For such a person, Jiang Xue didn’t want to know too much.

"Can’t I just talk to you if there’s nothing else?" Ah Huan looked at Jiang Xue with some irritation and then said, "We’re kind of friends, haven’t seen each other for so long, shouldn’t we catch up?"

"What do you want to say? I’m listening." Jiang Xue replied calmly, although she didn’t close her eyes again, her expression clearly showed little interest in Ah Huan.

Seeing Jiang Xue like this, Ah Huan was a bit annoyed, just about to jab Jiang Xue with a few more words, but Mr. Lan spoke up, saying, "Ah Huan, say a few less words, let Jiang Xue rest well."

With Mr. Lan speaking up, Ah Huan had no choice but to shut his mouth, then glared at Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue slightly curled her lips and once again closed her eyes.

Indeed, her idea was correct, Mr. Lan didn’t want her to memorize the route or anything.

The car drove for about an hour before stopping. As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Xue opened her eyes.

She glanced outside the car, and her expression slightly changed. This place she hadn’t been to, but had heard of.

This place is called Zijin Mountain Villa, rumored to be a place for important figures to recuperate.

"Jiang Xue, please come in!" Mr. Lan got out of the car, made a gesture of invitation, and then led her into the villa.

Along the way, Jiang Xue saw many guards. Each of them stood upright, without sparing an extra glance at Jiang Xue and her group.

Jiang Xue casually glanced at these people, then withdrew her gaze, and followed Mr. Lan and Ah Huan, walking straight ahead.

Soon, they entered the villa’s hall and then headed towards one of the rooms. Just as they approached the door, Jiang Xue noticed a familiar face. It was someone who had stopped her at the train station before.

Upon seeing Jiang Xue, that person’s eyes flickered slightly, then he greeted Mr. Lan, "Mr. Lan, you’re back."

"How is the old man now?"

"The situation is not good, just like when on the train before, no matter what he won’t wake up."

"Okay, I understand. Guard carefully outside, I’ll bring people in." Mr. Lan said and then reached out to push open the door.

As the door opened, several soldiers guarding inside suddenly turned their gaze on Jiang Xue and her companions, looking very alert. When they saw it was Mr. Lan with Jiang Xue, they retracted their gaze and stepped aside.

At this point, Jiang Xue had already seen the large bed ahead, and the old man lying on it.
