Lu Fan's words startled the members of the Yan family.
Yan Menghan's eyes narrowed sharply. If Lu Fan was right, the Yan family was in trouble. The Yan family had always been heavily guarded, with many experts in their courtyard. Yan Yun was not someone anyone could just meet. So, who could have poisoned the family head?
"Cough, cough! Lu Fan, can this poison be cured?" Yan Yun, as the head of the family, quickly regained his composure. He coughed lightly and asked calmly.
"Although this poison is very peculiar, it is not incurable. However..." Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly as he spoke.
"How so?" Yan Yun and the others looked at Lu Fan anxiously.
"It's strange, but the person who administered the poison seemingly doesn't want you dead. Otherwise, if the dosage were even slightly higher, you would have likely met your end already," Lu Fan mused, baffled. If they didn't want him dead, why poison him? To be able to poison him continuously for half a year without any deviation indicated a very cautious person.
"Lu Fan! Please cure my father first!" Yan Menghan suddenly said from the side.
"Alright!" Lu Fan replied, taking out paper and a pen. He wrote a prescription and handed it to Yan Menghan. "Brother Yan! Get the medicine according to this prescription and bring it back to me."
"Okay! I'll go get the medicine myself." Yan Menghan took the prescription and then turned to the butler, Uncle Dai, saying, "Uncle Dai! Take Lu Fan to have breakfast!"
"Yes, young master!" Uncle Dai quickly responded and gestured for Lu Fan to follow.
"Damn... I think I talked too much!" Lu Fan stuck out his tongue, realizing some things should have been discussed privately with Yan Yun and Yan Menghan for easier resolution. But, well, the words were already out.
Lu Fan followed Uncle Dai for breakfast. Not long after breakfast, Yan Menghan and Yan Yun came to find Lu Fan with a bag of medicine.
"Lu Fan! What poison did my father ingest, and can it be completely eradicated?" Yan Menghan suddenly asked.
"This is a rare chronic poison called Seven Leaf Needle! Its shape and smell are very similar to tea leaves. Accidental ingestion occasionally causes symptoms like weakness and drowsiness. Due to its stealthy nature, it's difficult to detect, often mistaken for overwork.
However, prolonged use or larger doses can cause significant harm to the body, leading to various forms of exhaustion! Judging by your current condition, although you are somewhat weak and your complexion is poor, it won't cause fatal damage. Therefore... someone wants you sick, but not dead!
But if the poison accumulates in the body over time, it won't be as you imagine. It might suddenly erupt..." Lu Fan said as he took the medicine bag and opened it to inspect.
"Don't worry, I can cure this poison. But I need to refine some pills. Please don't let anyone disturb me." Lu Fan said, flipping his palm, and a sapphire flame leaped forth.
Yan Yun and Yan Menghan were both astonished. This young man knew alchemy? Recalling how he borrowed Guanyin's Jade Vase last night, they wondered if he was a reincarnation of Tai Bai Jin Xing.
In half an hour, three pills were placed in a bottle and handed to Yan Yun. Yan Yun and Yan Menghan finally came back to their senses.
"One pill a day, two will completely detoxify you! The other one... is for emergencies!" Lu Fan said meaningfully.
If someone could poison him for six consecutive months, who could say it wouldn't happen again? Keeping one pill was a precaution. This was like a hidden minefield.
"Alright! Thank you, Lu Fan! Since you're already in the capital, why not stay for a few days? I'll have Menxi show you around," Yan Yun said immediately after taking the pills.
"Thank you, Uncle Yan! I'm also very busy at home and probably don't have time to play for long! If your illness is stable, I'll be heading back." Lu Fan shook his head. The Bai family's hotel was opening, and he still had to expand his farming and cultivation. He had no time to play around here.
"Alright! Menghan! Take Lu Fan out for a meal!" Yan Yun said, then stood up and left.
Seeing his father leave, Yan Menghan took out a delicate small box from his bag and handed it to Lu Fan. He then took out a pre-filled check. "Lu Fan! This is two liang of Pu'er tea. Please take it. When the new tea is ready, I'll deliver it to you first.
Also, this is a fifty-million check as consultation fee. Since you're busy, I won't keep you. I'll have someone arrange your transport back shortly."
"Brother Yan! I'll take the tea, but I'll have to decline the money. Since we've become brothers, treating Uncle's illness is something I should do!" Lu Fan took the tea and pushed the check back.
Yan Menghan smiled slightly and put the check away. Neither of them was overly sentimental; this friendship was priceless.
It was the same RV, the same driver. However, on the way back, it only carried Lu Fan.
Lying on the large bed in the RV's bedroom, Lu Fan had a feeling that the Yan family might make a significant move because of this incident. But that had nothing to do with him! The Yan family's affairs should be resolved by Yan Menghan and his father.
Lu Fan lay comfortably in the bedroom, unaware that after driving for some time, the RV had veered off the road back home.
Screech... A sharp braking sound. The RV suddenly stopped. Whoosh... Lu Fan rolled off the large bed onto the floor.
"Damn... What's going on? Can't even give a heads-up before stopping!" Lu Fan jumped up and rushed out of the bedroom. He ran to the front of the RV and pulled open the driver's cabin door. The driver was looking ahead with a panicked expression.
Blocking the RV's path were two black sedans. Six burly men stood menacingly beside the sedans, all holding... guns! Their muzzles were pointed directly at the two of them.
Damn... Lu Fan's pupils contracted. Are these real weapons?
"Get out!" one of the burly men roared at the driver, making him tremble and about to exit the vehicle.
Slap... Lu Fan grabbed the driver with his hand.
"Boss! If you get out, will you still be alive?" Lu Fan pushed the driver back into his seat.
"They... they... they have guns!" the driver stammered in fear.
"I'm not blind! Of course, I know they have guns. But if Brother Yan were in this situation, what would you do?" Lu Fan asked, sniffing.
"I'd fight to break through! But you're not Young Master Yan, so they might not attack us," the driver quickly said.
"Hmph! I don't think so!" Lu Fan snorted coldly. He would never leave his fate in the hands of others.
