The Strongest Mad Son-in-law
Chapter 48: Mother Child Gu
Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and looked deeply at Su Chen, "Secretary Su, don't be so agitated! This poisonous gu still has great use!"
Xu Hao's arm rested on a glass cup as his gaze indifferently swept across the people around him.
The Life Devouring Gu has a characteristic, to control this type of gu insect, generally, Mother Gu and Child Gu cannot exceed 10 meters, or a backlash will occur.
The poisonous gu in Elder Jiang's body was clearly a Child Gu, meaning the person controlling the Mother Gu must be nearby, right in this hall.
Save a life till the end, send Buddha all the way to the west! Elder Jiang had protected and served the country, showing tremendous merit. Since Xu Hao had taken action, he planned to fish out the person controlling the Mother Gu.
The two other doctors beside were helping the elder bandage the wounds on his hand, and lying on the stretcher, Elder Jiang's body had completely returned to normal this time. Opening his eyes, he scanned the people around him, "Xue Zhu, how did you get here?"
Jiang Xuezhun went over and held Elder Jiang's arm, "Grandfather, you scared me to death. Thankfully, Xu Hao was here to help, otherwise if something had happened to you today, what would I have done?"
While speaking, Jiang Xuezhun looked at Xu Hao somewhat shyly. After all, just now in front of so many people, she had promised that if Xu Hao healed her grandfather, she would be Xu Hao's woman.
Now that Xu Hao really had done it, Jiang Xuezhun also needed to keep her promise!
Xu Hao had just caused a disturbance in the auction hall, and Elder Jiang naturally noticed Xu. However, Elder Jiang didn't expect that not only was Xu Hao skilled, but he also took action to save him, "Little Brother Xu, thank you."
Xu Hao nodded slightly to the elder, "No need to be polite, being able to help is my honor." Xu Hao inherently admired and respected these elders who had protected and served the country.
If not for them, we would not have the peaceful lives we have now. Now that someone intended to harm these meritorious elders, Xu Hao couldn't ignore it.
Xu Hao stepped forward and whispered to Elder Jiang, "Elder, the poisonous gu in your body seems to have been intentionally placed there. The Mother Gu is still within his body; do you mind if I investigate this matter?"
Elder Jiang sighed deeply, his gaze flickering uncertainly on Su Cheng's face for a moment, "Then I'll trouble Little Brother Xu."
Xu Hao nodded, turned to the security guards and said, "Brothers, could you please gather everyone within a 5-meter radius, and form a circle."
The guards, not knowing what Xu Hao intended to do, looked at Elder Jiang doubtfully. Elder Jiang gestured with his hand, "Follow Little Brother Xu's instructions." Find this chapter's source on *.
As the highest authority on the site, the other elders and elder ladies, seeing the elder speak, also obediently followed Elder Jiang's orders.
Soon, including Su Chen, everyone gathered in the open space and formed a circle. With the glass cup in his hand, Xu Hao smiled at the people and said, "Now, we are going to play a little game about a little bug finding its mother! This Life Devouring Gu in my hand is actually just a Child Gu. Once the Child Gu leaves the host, it will immediately seek out the Mother Gu. Are you, perhaps, scared?"
As soon as Xu Hao spoke, a look of astonishment crossed everyone's faces! They glanced at each other, all suspicion in their eyes – was someone intentionally poisoning the elder?
Among them were the elder's personal doctors, his personal secretary, and his bodyguards... including a few old friends who often played chess with the elder, they all were suspects!
All these expressions fell into Xu Hao's gaze, his discerning eyes instantly could distinguish their varied expressions. Undoubtedly, the most suspicious were among them.
As Xu Hao prepared to move the glass cup away, Su Chen's facial muscles twitched, his head slightly turning to one side as his lips seemed to be muttering a command. His fingers tapped a few times on a specific spot on his body; as soon as Xu Hao opened the cup, the poisonous gu inside turned belly-up, not moving at all, dead on the spot.
Lei Qianjue spoke up next to him, "Young Master Xu, what's going on?"
With a twitch of his lips, Xu Hao replied, "It's dead. This Life Devouring Gu killed itself. It was being controlled!"
Jiang Xuezhun's expression changed beside him, "Ah, what do we do then? Without this poisonous gu's guidance, won't we be unable to find the traitor? Nor can we clear the innocence of others."
However, Xu Hao was not at all flustered, his gaze sweeping over to Elder Jiang. The elder's face wore a trace of dulled expression, a hint of loss in his demeanor, most likely he already had a suspect in mind.
Xu Hao bowed slightly towards the elder, "Elder, this matter might make you a bit sad, but it seems you have had suspicions all along? Perhaps it would be better for you to address this yourself!"
Jiang Longchi sighed deeply, his gaze disappointingly glancing at Su Chen, "Alright, Su Chen, admit it yourself! Do I need to spell it out?"
Jiang Xuezhun and all the guests turned their surprised faces towards Su Chen, this Su Chen, only 40 years old, capable in many aspects, how could it be possible for him to betray the elder after so many years by his side?
"Grandfather, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could it be... Uncle Su?" As a child, Su Chen even held Jiang Xuezhun!
