Chapter 1302: Gu King Lends a Hand
"Put me on her wound." The Gu King said, its eyes fixed on the wound from which Jiang Xue’s black blood was flowing as it swallowed hungrily.
The poison in Jiang Xue’s body was extremely toxic, just what it loved the most. After being starved for days, it could finally feast to its fill.
"Alright, I’ll trust you this once. If you can’t neutralize the poison in her body, I’ll make you wish for death." The Little Fox warned the Gu King before placing it on Jiang Xue’s wound.
The Gu King didn’t bother to argue with the Little Fox. As soon as it got near Jiang Xue’s wound, it started devouring her poisonous blood voraciously.
The Gu King, originally the size of a little bead, gradually grew to the size of a little finger, a middle finger, and then a thumb as it absorbed more and more of the poisonous blood.
Seeing the increasingly large Gu King, the Little Fox couldn’t help but worry, fearing it might accidentally eat itself to death. However, what the Little Fox didn’t know was that the Gu King was thoroughly satisfied at this moment, and its stomach was filling up with the increasing intake of the poison.
But the poison in Jiang Xue was too deep; it had to completely suck out all the poison from her body. So, even when it was full, it dared not stop, continuing to suck tirelessly.
As time went on, the Gu King grew a bit more, reaching a point where it could hardly suck anymore. Fortunately, the blood flowing from Jiang Xue’s wound gradually returned to its redness.
Seeing the fresh red blood on Jiang Xue’s wound, the Little Fox finally relaxed and quickly turned to fetch the medicine.
By the time it returned with the medicine, the Gu King was lying on the ground motionless. The Little Fox didn’t pay attention to it for the time being and attended to Jiang Xue by applying the medicine, stopping the bleeding, and bandaging her wound before it had time to care for the Gu King.
It checked and saw that the Gu King was just overstuffed and nothing more, so it felt reassured before tossing it back into the box.
Having settled the Gu King, the Little Fox saw that leaving Jiang Xue lying on the ground was not right, so it transformed into a human form and carried her back to her room.
Nobody in the company knew what had happened to Jiang Xue. It wasn’t until the afternoon when they saw the blood trail stretching from the staircase to Jiang Xue’s office that everyone was shocked.
They rushed to Jiang Xue’s office, knocked on the door, and asked, "President Jiang, are you in there?"
However, at that moment, Jiang Xue was still unconscious in another realm, unaware of what was happening outside. The Little Fox knew, but with Jiang Xue in a coma and unable to get out, there was no way to respond.
The people outside knocked for a while without hearing a response from Jiang Xue, exchanged glances, and decided to kick the door open.
As the door swung open, they saw nothing but the bloodstains on the floor. After searching around, they couldn’t find anyone, and their unease grew again.
Thus, Jiang Xue’s secretary immediately called Shangguan Wenbin and Wang Jun, informing them that something might have happened to Jiang Xue.
Upon receiving the call, Shangguan Wenbin remembered Mu Qiancheng’s midday call and urgently broke off his business negotiation with the customer and drove hurriedly back to the company.
Once back at the company, he rushed upstairs and burst into Jiang Xue’s office. Upon seeing the blood on the floor, he was so startled that he could hardly stand and almost collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, Wang Jun caught him in time, preventing a fall.
After regaining his balance, Shangguan Wenbin quickly said, "Wang Jun, my sister’s in trouble. Investigate, investigate thoroughly, and find out what happened."
