Although Gu Chen knew Song Fan worried about him, he still felt happy. However, he hated being used to threaten Song Fan, even if it was by Charlie.

Charlie raised an eyebrow, casually glancing at the prominent veins on Gu Chen’s arm, confirming what his Big Brother had said—Gu Chen was indeed deeply poisoned.

He smiled and said, “President Gu, if I’m not mistaken, your heart must hurt for a few minutes every night now, right? Sometimes you might even vomit?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the other two people in the office turned grim.

Song Fan looked at Gu Chen questioningly, but Gu Chen just smiled and shook his head, indicating he was fine. However, Song Fan knew Charlie was probably right.

“Song Fan likely used a Snow Red Flower to suppress it, but Song Fan, you forgot, if the poison is suppressed for too long, it will explode eventually. Boom!” Charlie made a gesture of an explosion, “A ticking time bomb will explode sooner or later. This human bomb that is President Gu might explode anytime, right?”

“There’s no need for your concern.” Gu Chen walked straight to Song Fan, not wanting her to have any further contact with Charlie.

Seeing Gu Chen’s demeanor, Charlie knew Peter was right; Gu Chen’s condition was indeed not good.

“No worries, Song Fan. You can cooperate anytime you want.” Charlie stood up, preparing to leave.

But before he left, he said, “I almost forgot to tell you, with global warming, Snow Red Flowers on the glaciers are becoming scarcer. Fortunately, the Brown Group recently found three. Goodbye.”

Charlie didn’t worry at all that Song Fan wouldn’t cooperate with him. In his view, as long as he had the Snow Red Flowers, Song Fan was in his pocket.

Unfortunately, Song Fan didn’t know that the Brown Family would never let Gu Chen die, at least not yet.

Song Fan squinted. If she had those three Snow Red Flowers, she was confident she could detoxify Gu Chen.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. I’m really fine.” Gu Chen turned to explain, but Song Fan immediately grabbed his arm.

She deftly unbuttoned his sleeve and quickly checked his pulse.

They were very close, and Gu Chen could clearly feel his heartbeat accelerating.

“Boss, about the video you mentioned last time… Sorry to interrupt!” Lan Yue had just opened the door when she saw this ambiguous scene, and quickly closed it again, her face flushed.

Gu Chen pretended to cough, but Song Fan immediately stopped him, “Don’t cough randomly, and don’t move.”

She frowned, her eyelashes trembling. Although she looked a bit upset, Gu Chen still found her incredibly cute.

He couldn’t help but lower his head, and Song Fan looked up, asking coldly, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Gu Chen’s lowered head awkwardly froze, and he licked his lips guiltily, “I really am fine.”

“Oh, really?” Song Fan’s face remained expressionless as she extended her hand and placed it on his heart.

Gu Chen could feel his breath almost stop, and his heartbeat quickened.

But Song Fan seemed unaware of his change, appearing even angrier, “Right now, it might just cause angina daily. Later, it could cause a blood clot, leading to more than just pain—it could cause sudden respiratory arrest. At that time…”

Gu Chen understood why she was angry and quickly grabbed Song Fan’s hand, “There won’t be such a time. I have you; you’ll save me.”

“I can’t save you!” Song Fan fiercely shook off his hand, “President Gu has nine lives like a cat. Why would you need me to save you?”

“I absolutely need you!” Gu Chen hurriedly tried to appease her, “You’ve saved me so many times. If I die, all your efforts would be in vain.”

Thinking about how he endured pain daily but still had the energy to joke, Song Fan closed her eyes, suppressing her irritation.

This wasn’t the time to discuss right or wrong. Some things couldn’t be avoided.

“Where is Gu Medical Company’s laboratory?” Song Fan asked.

“In the capital. Are you interested? I can take you there.” Gu Chen eagerly offered, “Anything you need, just tell me. You can also review all of Gu Medical Company’s formulas.”

Song Fan took a deep breath, “I don’t need anything else. I want to see the formula for the anti-tumor drugs.”

She didn’t want to cooperate with Charlie. Lan Yue had already secretly investigated and found that the Brown Group’s drugs were indeed effective, but the prices were exorbitantly high, and very few people could afford long-term use.

If the Gu Corporation could match the Brown Group, she would have leverage to demand Snow Red Flowers from Charlie.
