Gu Xu's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, his face was filled with anxiety. He took a step forward and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Sister Xi, Brother Lin, my dad and uncle have a deep brotherly love. It's already this late, why are you still stopping us? Let my dad take a closer look at uncle's condition, maybe he can come up with a way to save him!"

Gu Xi snorted coldly, raised his chin slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Gu Xu, don't talk big here. The family has been in a state of constant change recently. Dad fell ill in a strange way. There are some things that we have to be on guard against."

Although Gu Lin didn't know much, Gu Xi told him about the current situation of the Gu family and some of the relationships within it. With a tear mark on his face, his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "That's right, Second Uncle suddenly wanted to come and check closely. How do we know if he has other intentions? Don't say anything more. No one can get close to father today."

As he spoke, Gu Lin's eyes flashed with the indifference and coldness that he usually showed when he was alone outside.

Gu Xu was humiliated in public, his face flushed red, he clenched his fists, veins popping out on his forehead: "Don't be so rude! My dad is worried about my uncle, but you guys are making wild assumptions. If anything happens to my uncle, can you bear the responsibility?"

Gu Tianqian sighed heavily at the right time, shook his head and whispered: "Forget it, the children are cautious, and it is my fault for not thinking it through and making them suspicious. Xuer, don't argue." But when he lowered his eyes, a sinister flashed in his eyes.

……

At this moment, the housekeeper that Gu Tiankun had found some time ago came to the ward and said, "Miss, Master, Second Master, Commissioner Chen is here and said he wants to visit the head of the family."

The new butler is relatively young, but that doesn't mean he is incapable. On the contrary, he is outstanding. In the past few months, he was the one who finished Gu Tiankun's major reorganization.

Gu Xi still trusted the other party and was very satisfied with the order of the titles.

Gu Xi calmed himself down a bit and said, "Please invite him in quickly."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tiangan and his son both had a hint of doubt in their eyes. After all, they and Commissioner Chen had always kept their distance from each other and had not had much interaction. After all, they were in different units, the commissioner was in the alliance, and their Gu family was in the government. Although the two were closely related, they belonged to two different systems.

After a while, General Chen came in, followed by an old man in a white robe with ancient style.

When they saw General Chen, Gu Xi and Gu Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if General Chen was someone they could completely trust.

"Hello, Grandpa Chen."

"Hello, Grandpa Chen."

The siblings greeted each other.

"Well, it's like this. I heard that Gu Tiankun was sick, and his illness was not serious, so I came here on behalf of the alliance and the government to take a look."

"That's great, please."

As they spoke, the two men made way for General Chen.

This made Gu Tiangan and Gu Xu, father and son, very angry. In the eyes of the other party, their two relatives were not as good as an outsider. It was simply like saying that they were the culprits.

Although their guess was indeed correct, it was too obvious a slap in the face.

But the two of them didn't know what to say, they just looked at the person who came from the side with cold eyes.

It's not that General Chen didn't pay attention to the two of them, but before coming, he had already grasped some basic information, so naturally he wouldn't give them much good looks or favor.

General Chen came to the bedside and squatted down. He looked at the frail Gu Tiankun and frowned. Then he immediately stood up, stepped aside, and said to the old man beside him, "Mr. Mu, thank you for your help."

"Yeah." The white-haired old man stroked his beard with his hand, walked steadily to the bedside, raised his right hand and took the patient's pulse.

At the same time, the old doctor hired by the Gu family suddenly became a little flustered, including Gu Tianqian and his son who were standing on the side.

While taking Gu Tiankun's pulse, the old man looked at his complexion, and then his brows gradually frowned.

Everyone's heart was in suspense.

Gu Xi couldn't help but whispered, "How is it?"

But the old man did not respond immediately, but slowly closed his eyes.

General Chen whispered, "Don't disturb Elder Mu's diagnosis."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi quickly shut his mouth and nodded cautiously.

After about a minute, Mr. Mu slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the chair beside the bed.

He glanced at Gu Tiankun and then looked away from his face.

He glanced at everyone in the room.

General Chen asked quietly, "Mr. Mu, how is it?"

"He was poisoned."

"Poisoned?!" Gu Xi exclaimed.

Gu Lin on the side also frowned and turned his gaze to the doctor standing aside and starting to diagnose Gu Tiankun.

Gu Tianqian, who was standing aside, showed a hint of shock in his eyes, as if he found the result incredible, or perhaps he didn't expect that the other party was actually right.

At this time, the Gu family's special doctor knew that he had to say something immediately, so he quickly jumped out and said, "Poisoning, how is this possible? My diagnosis is clearly internal organ failure!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the old doctor, and their looks gradually became unfriendly.

Gu Xi did not rush to question the other party, but turned his gaze to Mu Lao.

At this time, Mu Lao said: "Yes, from the surface, he does have internal organs and organ failure, but that is only a surface phenomenon. The essence is poisoning, and this poisoning, I think it should be a chronic poison. As long as it does not break out, it is basically impossible to detect it. But once it breaks out, it will be a complete outbreak, and the person will die soon."

"But this is difficult to detect. I don't think you are hiding it on purpose. After all, even I was almost fooled just now."

The doctor didn't argue any more, as long as he could prove himself.

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the hostility of everyone, especially the Gu siblings, towards the doctor quickly dissipated.

At this time, Gu Xu, who was originally invisible, suddenly said, "Then, what kind of poison did the uncle get?"

Gu Tianqian on the side couldn't help but glare at the other person, as if calling him an idiot, but since he had already said it, he couldn't say anything more.

Gu Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Xu and said, "Cousin, why are you in such a hurry?"

Along with that came the gazes of the crowd, which made Gu Xu instantly realize how rash his question just now was. He then secretly glanced at his father. Sure enough, at this moment, Gu Tiangan had a stern face, with a hint of anger in his eyes. Although the other party suppressed it very well, he was his own son after all, and he could still see it at a glance.

"Well, I am concerned about my uncle. After all, it is the common wish of all of us present here that my uncle can be cured as soon as possible."

Gu Xu's words were very sly and there was nothing wrong with them, except that his tone was a little abnormal.

But the crowd did not pursue the matter too much, and instead turned their attention to Mu Lao again.

"Alas, I can't cure this poison in a short time. This poison seems to be a mixed poison. It's hard to say. Besides, Patriarch Gu doesn't have much time left. This..."
