Lu Yunzhou's lips twitched, and he swallowed his words.

Su Qingwan stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"However... since you said you can treat illnesses."

She offered her wrist, her voice slow and deliberate, "If you heal me, I'll give you 500,000."

Lu Yunzhou's eyes lit up.

"If it can't be cured..."

Su Qingwan's gaze slid down an inch, landing below his belt, and her smile deepened.

"I'll have someone turn you into a eunuch."

Lu Yunzhou felt a cold sweat break out between his legs.

But with that 500,000 yuan right in front of him, all he could think about was the 200,000 yuan for Ye Churan's grave and the days to come.

"Alright! Let's take your pulse first."

He bit his cheek and replied in a deep voice.

"Um."

Su Qingwan raised her eyelids slightly and slowly extended her wrist.

Lu Yunzhou composed himself, placed three fingers on her pulse, and quickly recalled the pulse diagnosis knowledge from the "Shennong Chapter" in his mind, comparing the pulse symptoms one by one.

As time passed, the pulse under his fingers remained steady and strong, and he couldn't find the slightest flaw.

He frowned, secretly pounding his nose.

Could it be that I'm not skilled enough?

Su Qingwan's face darkened, and she pulled her hand back.

"Let me try again!"

Lu Yunzhou quickly pressed it down.

This time, he no longer relied solely on his sense of touch. He quietly circulated his internal energy, slowly probing into the depths of her meridians with his three fingers, examining her inch by inch.

Su Qingwan froze for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her phoenix eyes.

A subtle warmth seeped into the area of ​​contact, spreading along the skin. It was an indescribable sensation, but it made one restless.

After a moment, Lu Yunzhou withdrew his hand, his tone becoming more serious: "President Su, do you often feel tightness in your chest, night sweats, restless sleep, and frequent nightmares?"

"Yes."

Su Qingwan's surprise deepened, and she nodded slightly.

"You are poisoned."

Lu Yunzhou lowered his voice even further.

Su Qingwan frowned, her gaze changing: "What poison?"

"A kind of slow-acting poison that is very well hidden. It has no warning signs in the early stages, but once the poison is fully activated, the person will die on the spot."

"Moreover, the equipment in a regular hospital cannot detect it at all."

Lu Yunzhou patiently finished speaking.

Su Qingwan looked into his eyes, a hint of skepticism in her eyes: "Since no testing methods can detect anything, why should I trust someone who's just a driver?"

Lu Yunzhou's expression remained unchanged as he countered with a question: "Who usually takes care of your meals?"

"I eat out most of the time."

"Then it shouldn't be a problem with the food that went in."

He frowned and thought for two seconds, then his gaze fell on the crystal ashtray beside the coffee table. He asked, "Where did you get the cigarettes you smoke?"

"Could someone really tamper with the cigarettes containing a limited-edition item that was purchased through a proxy buyer from Southeast Asia?"

"Given your wealth and status, you deserve someone to put in this much effort."

Su Qingwan's expression finally turned completely serious.

She opened a drawer in the low cabinet beside her, took out an unopened pack of cigarettes, and handed it over.

Lu Yunzhou took it, tore open the foil packaging, sniffed it, and then simply tore off a piece of tobacco and put it in his mouth, grinding it finely.

"Pooh!"

He exhaled the tobacco, his brows furrowed. "The tobacco leaves contained a trace amount of Southeast Asian poison. This stuff is yin in nature, and long-term inhalation will gradually corrode the internal organs."

He looked up at Su Qingwan, his tone solemn: "President Su, from today onwards, you must not touch this kind of cigarette again. Give me three days to cooperate with the treatment, and I guarantee all those symptoms will disappear completely."

Su Qingwan looked him over for a while, then suddenly smiled.

There was an indescribable flavor in his smile, and his eyes flickered: "Alright, three days. Don't make me wait in vain."

"Absolutely not."

Lu Yunzhou patted his chest confidently.

Su Qingwan got up and walked to the dining table. She picked up the glass of hot milk, took a sip, paused, and frowned slightly.

Lu Yunzhou's heart skipped a beat.

You tasted it?

"Lu Yunzhou".

Su Qingwan put down the cup, her voice tinged with anger, "Hot milk has a strange taste. Don't heat it up next time, remember that!"

"I've got it, I've got it."

Lu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qingwan sat down and slowly finished her breakfast, drinking every last drop of the hot milk.

Lu Yunzhou glanced at the empty cup, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.

"President Su, there's something I've been wanting to ask you."

He paused for a moment, then spoke.

Su Qingwan looked up at her, a half-smile on her face: "Want to ask about Feng Qianyi?"

"right."

Lu Yunzhou nodded. "Xinghe Group and Huixin Group are rivals. How could someone like Feng Qianyi agree to register her marriage with an unknown nobody like me?"

Su Qingwan tapped her fingers lightly on the table twice: "You don't need to know why, just do as I say."

Lu Yunzhou had a lot to say but couldn't.

He knew better than anyone what Feng Qianyi's reputation was in Sheng'an City. Asking him to be the husband of that kind of woman would give him a headache.

But he was short of money and couldn't leave Su Qingwan's side, so he suppressed his awkwardness and asked in a different way: "So what do you want from me marrying her?"

"You'll be a husband in name only, nothing else matters. Once this game is over, I'll give you five million."

Su Qingwan's tone made it clear that she didn't want to talk any more.

"When do we leave?"

I'll let you know first thing tomorrow morning.

Su Qingwan stood up, wrapped in the silk robe, and walked towards the stairs, her figure swaying, her steps neither hurried nor slow.

She stopped abruptly at the third step, turned back to look at him, her eyes crinkling at the corners, and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Are you coming up or not?"

"Why go up there?"

"Come take a bath with me."

Lu Yunzhou's face flushed instantly, and he waved his hand, "No, President Su, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Su Qingwan was amused by his embarrassed appearance and giggled. The collar of her silk robe slipped open a little as her shoulders shook, but she didn't care. After laughing enough, she turned around and gracefully went upstairs.

More than an hour later, Su Qingwan came downstairs.

She changed into a well-tailored black dress, her hair was styled in an updo, and her earrings dangled near her collarbone.

With light makeup highlighting the sharpness and allure in her eyes and brows, and a thin layer of red on her lips, she emerged from her previous languid state and became once again the woman who held billions in her hands.

Lu Yunzhou looked at it for two seconds, then looked away.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go."

Su Qingwan picked up her bag.

"To the company?"

"Don't go to the office, come shopping with me and buy me some clothes."

She walked towards the door first.

As the car drove out of the gate, Su Qingwan turned her head to look at the bodyguards sitting in the passenger seat, her voice indifferent: "You don't need to come with me today."

The bodyguard's face stiffened, and his tone became troubled: "Madam, things over there haven't settled down yet. If something happens to you, we won't be able to explain it to the boss..."

"If you can't explain, then don't explain. Get off the bus."

Su Qingwan's eyes held an unyielding coldness.

The bodyguard swallowed hard, then pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Lu Yunzhou's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

In the end, he didn't say anything, stepped on the gas, and drove the car towards the downtown area.
