Chapter 139 The poison in Pei Zhijin's body breaks out.
Wang Ziyan anxiously picked up Lin Yiyi and said to Atong, "Take people to chase him immediately."
"Yes." Atong said and left quickly.
Throughout the entire night, the backyard of Celebrity Square was brightly lit, and people were walking along the narrow paths in the backyard.
It was not until dawn and the sun rose that the noise in Celebrity Square died down.
In the lobby, Gu Yu sat dejectedly on a stool. Pei Zhijin stared at Gu Yu with cold eyes. After a long while, he said, "Didn't you say it was foolproof and there would be no mistakes?"
Gu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Pei Zhijin, and said aggrievedly: "I underestimated the people on Baishan Mountain. I didn't think that the people on Baishan Mountain also wanted to get the beads."
Pei Zhijin snorted coldly and stopped looking at Gu Yu, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Ye Tong walked in quickly from outside, "Sir, Miss Jiang was taken to Baishan, and the Wuji Pearl is also in their hands."
Gu Yu immediately stood up and said anxiously: "So that's how it is...The man on Baishan is very ambitious. I guess the hairpin is also on Baishan now, right?"
Pei Zhijin nodded, his brows full of sharpness.
Gu Yu asked, "But what do they want to do by taking Jiang Xue back to Baishan?"
Pei Zhijin clenched his hands suddenly, then looked at Ye Tong and said, "Find out the way to Baishan Mountain immediately."
"Yes." Ye Tong nodded and left quickly.
When Lin Yiyi woke up, Wang Ziyan was waiting by her side. Only after seeing Lin Yiyi wake up did Wang Ziyan feel relieved.
Lin Yiyi was helped up by Wang Ziyan, and she anxiously grabbed Wang Ziyan's hand and asked, "How is it, did you save Xue'er?"
Wang Ziyan's expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "No, the people on Baishan moved very quickly, and our people didn't catch up with them."
"I'll go myself." Lin Yiyi was about to get off the bed, but Wang Ziyan stopped her and said, "Yiyi, don't worry. Lord Pei and Gu Yu are also trying to find a solution. It's not that easy to climb up Baishan Mountain."
Lin Yiyi stopped moving, looked at Wang Ziyan and asked, "Where are they now?"
"In the lobby."
Lin Yiyi nodded, put on her shoes and said, "Take me to the lobby. We can't delay Xue'er for a moment."
Wang Ziyan knew that she was worried about Jiang Xue, but seeing that she didn't take care of her body, he couldn't help but say, "Yiyi, you should take care of yourself first before you go to save her."
"The people on Baishan have a conspiracy. How can I not be anxious?" Lin Yiyi glanced at Wang Ziyan anxiously, then quickly opened the door and walked out.
Prince Yan followed closely behind.
In the hall, the maid walked in respectfully and said, "Sir, everything outside has been cleaned up. All the dead people are on the list, but the owner of Fengyun Tower did not show up last night."
Gu Yu waved his hand a little irritably, and the maid respectfully stepped aside.
When Pei Zhijin stood up and prepared to go out, Gu Yu suddenly said, "Brother, where are you going?"
"White Mountain."
Gu Yu immediately walked quickly to Pei Zhijin and said, "I'll go too. This incident was caused by me. If anything happens to Jiang Xue, I will compensate her with her life."
Pei Zhijin's eyes suddenly turned cold, he grabbed Gu Yu by the collar and said coldly: "She will be fine."
Gu Yu looked at Pei Zhijin's nervous expression and squinted his eyes and said, "Are you really in love with Jiang Xue?"
Pei Zhijin let go of Gu Yu and said, "It's none of your business."
Gu Yu's expression became serious, and he reminded her, "Don't forget, you are still poisoned. Once you become emotional, the poison in your body will take effect and you will die."
Pei Zhijin's eyes sank and his hands clenched. The reason why he deliberately kept a distance from Jiang Xue was to prevent the poison in his body from acting up. However, he found that the more he avoided her, the more he couldn't help but think about Jiang Xue like crazy. The poison in his body had already acted up several times.
But compared to the poison in his body taking effect, he was more afraid that Jiang Xue would ignore him. He could endure the physical pain, but the torment in his heart was unbearable. He didn't want to hide from Jiang Xue anymore.
Gu Yu looked at Pei Zhijin in a daze and reminded him again: "The poison in your body has no antidote. You can only prevent the poison from taking effect if you control your emotions. Pei Zhijin, you must not fall in love with Jiang Xue. I will not allow you to lose your life because of a woman."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zhijin frowned, the veins on his hands bulged, and his expression became painful.
Gu Yu's expression changed. He supported Pei Zhijin and looked at his painful expression. It was obvious that the poison in his body was acting up. He asked in surprise, "Have you already fallen in love with her?"
Pei Zhijin endured the pain and said in a hoarse voice: "It's none of your business." Then he staggered out.
"Hey!" Gu Yu shouted anxiously from behind: "Pei Zhijin, are you really going to die?"
Pei Zhijin ignored Gu Yu and walked out of the lobby without stopping. He stopped as soon as he took one step forward.
Lin Yiyi and Wang Ziyan looked at Pei Zhijin in surprise, his eyes already red.
Lin Yiyi didn't expect that Pei Zhijin stayed away from Xue'er because of the poison in his body. Looking at Pei Zhijin's upright figure leaning against the door frame, her lips slightly opened, with guilt in her eyes.
"you……"
Pei Zhijin frowned, as if he had not expected that the two of them were actually standing outside. He wanted to speak, but was stopped by the sudden piercing pain, and then he groaned.
Gu Yu quickly followed from behind, poured out a pill from his arms and fed it to Pei Zhijin, and said worriedly: "Has your poison acted up before?"
Pei Zhijin's face turned pale and he said nothing.
Lin Yiyi immediately remembered Pei Zhijin whom she saw when she came out of Xueer’s room a few mornings ago. He seemed to be in the same state at that time. It turned out... Pei Zhijin didn’t dislike Xueer, but he couldn’t like Xueer.
Gu Yu supported Pei Zhijin, looked at Lin Yiyi's pale lips, frowned again and asked: "Are you injured?"
"I'm fine." Lin Yiyi came back to her senses.
Gu Yu looked at Wang Ziyan beside him unhappily and asked: "How did you protect her?"
Prince Yan also said with an unhappy look on his face: "What kind of scheme did you set up? The Wuji Pearl was stolen, and now even the person has been kidnapped?"
"I..." Gu Yu closed his mouth and admitted that it was indeed his mistake this time.
He casually handed the medicine in his hand to Lin Yiyi and said, "This is some medicine to replenish your vitality. Your body will recover a little after taking it."
Lin Yiyi looked at the medicine that Pei Zhijin had just taken, and it seemed that the pain was relieved a lot, so she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, you give it to him."
Gu Yu glanced at Pei Zhijin, then sighed and said, "This medicine has no effect on him. It just temporarily numbs the pain in his body."
Lin Yiyi frowned, "When was he poisoned?"
"When I was a child." Gu Yu said calmly.
Lin Yiyi was shocked, "When you were a child?"
