Chapter 1496 The Culprit

1496 The Culprit

Hearing Chu Shijian's question, Wang Xiuying pondered for a minute before responding, "There are several ways to apply Basilisk's Tear. The easiest method is to mix it with liquid and feed it to someone, but since it has a distinct bitter taste, the best approach is to mix it with something sweet. It can also be injected into solid food."

"Something sweet…?" Chu Shijian began trying to recall the last time he had something sweet.

His complexion darkened a moment later when he recalled something, and his body trembled in anger.

"It can't be…" he muttered in a cold voice.

"Who poisoned you, father?" Chu Liuxiang asked with a deep frown on her face.

Chu Shijian didn't respond and turned to look at Sebastian with a serious expression before asking loudly, "What is Chu Wuyang doing at this moment?!"

"Chu Wuyang?! That useless brother?!" Chu Liuxiang cried out loud after hearing his name.

"Chu Wuyang?" Yuan raised an eyebrow as he recalled this familiar name.

'He was the one who blocked me at the front door when I tried to get Lulu back.'

Yuan recalled beating Chu Wuyang so hard that he fell unconscious.

"Young Master Wuyang should be in charge of our business in Cultivation Online. The one located at Third Heaven." Sebastian quickly replied.

"Don't tell me… he was the one who poisoned you…?"

Chu Shijian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in frustration.

"I don't have solid proof or want to suspect him, but he was the only one who fed me something in the last several months. Right before I got sick, he brought me a slice of cake and asked for my opinion on it. The cake was so sweet I can still recall it clearly even now, so I only had a single bite!"

"However, Chu Wuyang also tasted the cake right after I gave my opinion!"

Wang Xiuying then said, "I don't want to make assumptions, but he could've easily prepared the antidote beforehand. This poison isn't deadly as long as you're prepared. The antidote is also not that hard to find."

"Why would he do something so foolish?! Sebastian! Summon Chu Wuyang and his mother for me!" Chu Shijian commanded.

"Right away."

Sebastian immediately rushed out of the room.

Chu Shijian lowered his head in a dejected manner and used his hands to massage between his eyes.

"What should I do now…?" he muttered in a stressful voice.

Nobody in the room responded. This was Chu Shijian's problem to solve as Chu Wuyang's father and victim.

Sebastian returned a few minutes later with the news, "I have notified Young Master Wuyang and his mother, telling them that there's been an emergency. They should arrive in a few hours."

Chu Shijian nodded and said, "In fact, summon everyone! I want everybody there to witness Chu Wuyang's response!"

"As you command." Sebastian left again.

"Father… we should probably leave…" Chu Liuxiang said in a low voice.

"Even if you are no longer part of the family, I would like for you to be there. You too, Yuan. If you don't mind, that is." Chu Shijian stared at them with a serious face.
