Chapter 378: Pink Skeleton

Ye Bufan said, "Since that's the case, there's only one possibility: someone poisoned Aunt Xia!"

"Damn it, if I find out who poisoned my mom, I'll kick his balls off!"

Gao Daqiang was furious, but just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy, then fell to the ground with a thud.

He was already tall, and this sudden fall made the whole room shake.

Gao Jiajun had just saved his wife, and now his son had fainted. He quickly cried out, "Da Qiang, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Bufan quickly went to check Gao Daqiang's pulse, and soon said with a grim expression, "Da Qiang is also poisoned, exactly like Aunt Xia."

Gao Jiajun said in a panic, "He just came in, he didn't even drink a sip of water, how did he get poisoned?"

"Since he didn't drink water, it must be that the air is toxic."

Ye Bufan looked around and saw a potted plant in the corner, his expression suddenly changing.

It was a plant about half a meter tall, with green leaves and exceptionally vibrant red flowers.

"Uncle Gao, where did this flower come from?"

Gao Jiajun said, "This flower was given by Gao Xiaogong. He knew your aunt liked flowers, so he gave her this one. Why, is there a problem?"

"This flower is called Red Powder Skeleton, and its scent is highly poisonous. We need to leave quickly!"

As Ye Bufan spoke, he started to walk towards the door, but then suddenly, the world spun, and he also fell beside Gao Daqiang, then fainted.

"This… Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, wake up!"

Gao Jiajun shouted, and three of the four people in the room had fainted, leaving only himself.

He didn't understand, if that potted plant was poisonous, why was he fine?

He was about to call for help when the door opened, and Gao Xiaogong walked in from outside, followed by two tall bodyguards.

He walked up to Ye Bufan and said with disdain, "A so-called miracle doctor, yet in the end, he still fell into my hands."

Gao Jiajun said angrily, "Gao Xiaogong, you did all of this?"

"That's right, I did it."

Gao Xiaogong completely ignored Gao Jiajun's anger and said with a sinister smile, "What the guy surnamed Ye said is correct, this potted plant is called Red Powder Skeleton, and its scent carries highly toxic poison. It's an extremely rare species.

To get this potted plant back, I spent a full two hundred thousand usd."

Gao Jiajun said angrily, "You beast, how could you do this? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for me back then, you would have starved to death on the streets?"

"That's right, you saved me back then and even adopted me as your godson." At this point, Gao Xiaogong's expression changed, "But since you had me as your godson, you shouldn't have looked for a biological son.

I've worked so hard for the Gao Family for so many years, why should he inherit the family fortune? Just because he's your biological son? That's completely unfair."

"Bastard, you ungrateful wretch, you white-eyed wolf!"

As Gao Jiajun spoke, he threw a punch at Gao Xiaogong's face, but as soon as he extended his hand, he was kicked to the ground by a bodyguard beside him.

Gao Xiaogong said with disdain, "Old Man Gao, you're at this age, I advise you to be more obedient."

Gao Jiajun shouted, "Help, quick, help!"

He was calling for the bodyguards outside the door, but after shouting for a long time, there was no movement outside.

Gao Xiaogong laughed, "Alright, stop shouting. Before I came in, I already had them all guarding outside. Even if you shout until your throat is hoarse, no one will hear you.

Don't forget I'm your godson, so what I say still counts."

"You… you…"

Gao Jiajun trembled with anger, but he was helpless.

Gao Xiaogong pulled up a chair and sat down: "Old Man Gao, don't think you're the only smart one. Do you think I couldn't see that you brought me to Jiangnan City to be a whetstone for your son?

In fact, your son isn't bad; he's not as foolish as he appears. I spent so much effort, yet I couldn't infiltrate his company.

But what does that matter? This is called being too clever for one's own good. If he had obediently let me control Brothers Investment Company, perhaps he could have lived a few more years. Now, he can only go to meet the King of Hell early."

Gao Jiajun, after all, was someone who had been through many storms and knew that now was not the time to lose control of his emotions. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "No matter what, I adopted you back then.

Can you, for the sake of all these years of affection, release my son?"

"Old Man Gao, why are you so impatient? I haven't even finished speaking and you're already negotiating."

Gao Xiaogong pointed at Ye Bufan on the ground and said, "Actually, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame this kid. He repeatedly ruined my good deeds and disrupted my plans, otherwise, you father and son could have lived for a while longer.

I have to say, this kid really has some skill. Just now, I arranged for people to assassinate them on the road; a dozen gunmen couldn't even deal with them, and they ran back.

But no matter what, in the end, he still fell under my Red Powder Skeleton."

Gao Jiajun asked in confusion, "Since your flower is so powerful, why am I fine?"

"That's because I didn't want anything to happen to you," Gao Xiaogong said. "If even you were poisoned, Gao Daqiang and Ye Bufan would surely become alert, so I put an antidote in your water cup beforehand."

Gao Jiajun sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning. It seems I misjudged you."

"If you had obediently left the family fortune to me and not looked for some biological son, I would have taken care of you in your old age. But you were in a fortunate position and didn't know it, so you can't blame anyone else."

Gao Xiaogong said with a triumphant expression, "Alright, Old Man Gao, now we can talk about terms."

Gao Jiajun said, "Let us go, and I'll give you 10 million."

"10 million?" Gao Xiaogong sneered, "Old Man Gao, at this point, you're still being stingy with the ransom.

Others might not know, but I'm very clear about your assets. You clearly have 20 million but are giving me 10 million. Who are you giving the rest to? Are you still leaving it to this big oaf?"

Gao Jiajun said, "Don't be too greedy. To be honest with you, I had a notarization done in Hong Kong before.

If there is no will from me, all my assets will be donated to charitable organizations in China, and you won't get a single cent."

"I know that, of course," Gao Xiaogong said. "That's why I didn't kill you directly. Now that you're still alive, you can completely change the will."

As he finished speaking, he extended his hand, and the bodyguard beside him immediately handed over paper and pen.

Gao Xiaogong slapped the paper and pen in front of Gao Jiajun, "Now, draw up a new will for me, giving all the inheritance to me."

Gao Jiajun said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Knowing I'm going to die, would I still leave my inheritance to you, this ungrateful wretch?

Let my family of three and Xiao Fan go, and I can give you half of the family fortune. This money is enough for you to live a life of luxury, so don't be too greedy."

"Old Man Gao, do you take me for a fool? If I let you go, could I still have a good life?"

A sinister look flashed across Gao Xiaogong's face, "I know you're unwilling, but you're now meat on my chopping block. I can do whatever I want. Whether you draw it up or not is not up to you."

As he finished speaking, he swiftly pulled out a dagger, stepped forward to Gao Daqiang, and held it to his neck, saying, "Old Man Gao, are you drawing up this will or not? If not, I'll kill him right now!"
