Ye Wanwan felt dizzy. "Um, wait, you said the mother gu is inside the girl while the child gu is inside the man, but am I not the only one poisoned by gu? So where's the child gu?"
The white-haired elderly man replied, "You'd have to ask yourself where the child gu is, President Bai. Who did you cast it to?"
Ye Wanwan was aghast. "Ask myself? How would I know who I cast it to?! I didn't cast it to anyone!"
Wait!
Ye Wanwan's expression abruptly changed.
After coming to the Yuan residence, only two people were poisoned by gu. Aside from herself, the other person was... Patriarch Yuan!
It freaking couldn't be... couldn't be Patriarch Yuan, right... Moreover, Patriarch Yuan was freaking dead already!
Sweat seeped out of Ye Wanwan's forehead. If it really was Patriarch Yuan, she would rather die!
"She was the one who got cast by gu," Emperor Ji explained.
Elder Qi pondered over it for a long while before discovering the cause. "So it's like that... President Bai, your situation is a bit complicated. The gu inside your body probably was mutually-in-love gu at first, which is a mutation of love gu, but due to some unknown accident, the mutually-in-love gu successfully transformed into love gu after entering your body..."
"Transformed into love gu?" Ye Wanwan repeated.
"That's right. You can interpret it as... an evolution... It's a rare situation, but it's not completely unheard of."
Ye Wanwan wore an "FML" expression.?That's a thing?
Could I be any more unlucky?
The elderly man continued, "The moment the mutually-in-love gu successfully evolves into love gu, it breaks into mother and child gu. The mother gu would stay inside your body while the child gu would enter the body of the first man you have intimate contact with. When I examined your pulse just now, President, your body only contains mother gu, so you must've cast the child gu to someone else already."
Ye Wanwan gulped. "The body of... the first man I have intimate contact with...?"
Well, the only good news was that it probably wasn't Patriarch Yuan since she didn't even touch him once!
The elderly man replied, "That's right. So can you please try to remember if there was someone you had intimate contact with during this period of time, President? Then we'll know whose body contains the child gu."
