Chapter 460: 459 acting
Zhang Ergou was somewhat moved.
But thinking of something, that sliver of moving feelings, disappeared quickly.
Bai Xiaoxiao watched him intensely, seeing a hint of hesitation flash in his eyes, which quickly returned to coldness, she squinted and cautiously asked, “Do you have any other requests, you can tell me.”
“Your words are useless, we regularly take a medicine, a chronic poison, if we don’t have Boss Wu’s antidote, we…”
Shock surged in Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, but she maintained her composure on the surface. freewebnøvel.coɱ
If she hadn’t heard it herself, she would have thought this was all fake.
This kind of situation, she had only seen on TV shows before, those psychopaths, inventing poisons, making people take them in order to control them, usually in historical dramas.
Of course, there are also such plots in some movies.
Besides that, there was Wen Ran’s experience when she was a child. She had also heard from Luo Haofeng that during the six years Wen Ran was under Fu Jingyi’s control, she had been ‘raised’ on drugs, and her body still contained the poison ‘planted’ by Fu Jingyi.
Wu Tianyi owns a pharmaceutical factory, and she heard that he has always been in contact with Fu Jingyi, who hurt Ranran, so it’s usual for him to have all sorts of drugs.
With a cold smile, she dismissed it nonchalantly, “Wu Tianyi’s words can only intimidate you. You’ve been in G City for so long, you should know about the Gu Family, a century-old medical family, right? Director Gu and Gu Kai are so good at their craft, even if you have some mild poison in your body, they can easily eliminate it.”
Perhaps her words were too light-hearted, a hint of hope flashed in Zhang Ergou’s eyes.
Wu Tianyi initially told them that apart from his antidote, no other medicine would work.
But Director Gu and Gu Kai’s medical skills are so good, they can perform surgeries that other hospitals can’t. If they can cure incurable diseases, surely they can deal with a little bit of poison.
While he was still hesitating, his mobile phone suddenly started vibrating.
He glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, lowered his head to take out his mobile phone, and saw the caller display, his expression changing before he pressed the answer button, “Hello!”
“Ergou, where are you now?”
“It’s the middle of the night, what’s up?”
Zhang Ergou frowned, his tone unpleasant.
“Our son has a high fever, I just brought him to the hospital, the doctor says he has acute pneumonia and needs immediate surgery, come over quickly.”
The voice that came through the phone was frantic and carried a hint of crying. Zhang Ergou’s face changed, and he stood up from his seat, “How could he suddenly have a fever?”
“I don’t know, our son’s health has always been poor…”
“How much money do they need? I can’t make it now.”
“Where are you messing around? Don’t you even care about your own son?”
“I am not messing around, I am in a far-off place right now…”
Before he finished speaking, Bai Xiaoxiao interjected, “It’s a serious matter if a child is sick, and if acute pneumonia is not treated immediately, it could lead to a child’s death. Even if you can’t be there yourself, you need to hurry up with the payment.”
“I…I have no money.”
Zhang Ergou was also anxious. As a gangster who knew nothing, hearing Bai Xiaoxiao saying that delayed treatment could lead to death immediately panicked him.
“Ask your wife where your son is, I can pay for you first.”
Bai Xiaoxiao saw the look of urgency on Zhang Ergou’s face, she knew, this was the best opportunity, and the only chance. He was already somewhat moved just now.
On the other end of the line, Zhang Ergou’s wife hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice, interrogated, “Zhang Ergou, you still say you’re not messing around, who was the one speaking just now? I don’t care where you are, if you don’t come here, I won’t sign for the operation for your son.”
When women are ruthless, they can say anything.
Besides, Zhang Ergou’s wife wasn’t exactly a gentle and virtuous lady in everyday life. Zhang Ergou wasn’t surprised to hear such words from her.
Her voice was loud, Bai Xiaoxiao next to him could hear her words clearly. Seeing Zhang Ergou’s anger, she calmly persuaded, “The child is the priority. While there’s no one else around, release me, and we’ll go back together. Surely, you can’t truly ignore your son.”
“Which hospital are you at, I’ll head back there right away.”
“Of course, I sent my son to the best hospital, Kangning Hospital.”
Over there, Gu Kai and the others had already determined the location of Zhang Ergou and Bai Xiaoxiao.
They made a hand gesture to Lu Zhixing, and the two of them left first, hurrying to the destination, to rescue Bai Xiaoxiao.
“If you trust me, quickly untie the rope. I’ll make a phone call to arrange for the surgery at the hospital, we’ll go to pay later.”
“No tricks.”
Zhang Ergou wasn’t fully at ease. Bai Xiaoxiao had just escaped once, what if she took the chance to call for help again.
“I don’t even know where I am, let alone, you’re right here. If I say anything else, you can easily snatch away the phone. If you still don’t trust me, forget it.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s tone suddenly became indifferent. At first, she also thought that Zhang Ergou’s son was truly sick.
But, when his wife mentioned ‘Kangning Hospital’, she suddenly felt that it should be part of Gu Kai and Luo Haofeng’s plan.
Just now she had used Zhang Ergou’s phone to make a call, they could have potentially traced the location using the phone number. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Zhang Ergou’s son got acute pneumonia, and was at Kangning Hospital.
Zhang Ergou was a flustered mess. Although he was not too fond of his wife, he cared deeply about his son.
Even if he rushed back now, it would take time, his son’s illness can’t wait. His wife was threatening him with her suspicion, he gritted his teeth and said into the phone, “I’ll call the hospital.” And passed the phone to Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Make the call. As long as you can save my son, I’ll let you go.”
Bai Xiaoxiao took the phone, dialed Gu Kai’s number while saying, “Don’t waste time. Untie me. Your son is sick, and he needs you most at this time. Don’t worry, my previous words still stand. After getting back, I’ll give you a sum of money, and you can take your wife and child and leave far away.”
As she finished, the sound of Gu Kai’s voice on the phone rang out, still carrying a hint of sleepiness, “Hello!”
“Gu Kai, listen to me, a friend’s child is sick, currently in your hospital, and needs money for surgery. He can’t get there right now, can you allow the child’s treatment to start first, we’ll get to the hospital soon…”

Playing a role, naturally she had to do it properly.
Whether it was true or not, Bai Xiaoxiao had to play her part.
“Xiaoxiao, we’re all looking for you, where are you now?”
Hearing her voice, the sleepiness instantly disappeared from Gu Kai’s voice, his voice was full of shock and concern.
