Charlie, however, avoided the topic and brought up something more interesting to Song Fan, “I heard Snow Red Flower can detoxify various poisons. Though it’s rarely found, I’m not well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine. Is it true?”

Song Fan had only discussed Snow Red Flower with Gu Chen, and she wasn’t sure if someone had leaked information while Gu Chen was investigating. She discreetly clenched her fist, then casually replied, “I’ve heard of it, but I haven’t studied it. I can’t confirm its effectiveness.’

“Even you’re not sure?” Charlie frowned. The reason the base valued Song Fan so much was her abilities. He didn’t know about her various influential identities until he investigated. Knowing medicinal properties was just one of her skills.

He squinted at Song Fan and then asked, “You can’t cure Gu Chen’s poison?”

Instead of answering, Song Fan counter-questioned, “Why do you think I can?”

She found Charlie increasingly suspicious. Even if the Brown family had power, did that mean they could know everything about her? It seemed Charlie’s investigation into her was deeper than she thought.

“Intuition.” Charlie finished the wine in his glass in one gulp. “Gu Chen is alive and well, which proves it. Otherwise, he should have been in a coma or hospitalized by now. His second uncle also poisoned him, right?”

Hearing this, Song Fan affirmed that Charlie wasn’t the one poisoning Gu Chen. It even seemed the person from the Brown family who was monitoring them wasn’t planning to kill Gu Chen. Did this suggest a connection between the Brown family and the Gu family?

She didn’t continue questioning and circled back to the previous topic, “So, Snow Red Flower can detoxify Gu Chen?”

Since Charlie brought it up, she had no reason to let it go. If he had an agenda, she had a chance to obtain Snow Red Flower.

Charlie furrowed his brows and said regretfully, “Someone in the Brown family researched it before, but that person… Snow Red Flower might be able to detoxify his poison, but I’m not sure. I thought you knew; turns out, you don’t.”

Song Fan nodded seriously, “I can’t be certain about herbs I’ve never encountered. So, you’re saying you have Snow Red Flower?”

She tried to keep her tone calm, but she couldn’t completely hide her excitement. The probability of finding Snow Red Flower was higher in Country B, and she might be able to help Gu Chen detoxify soon.

Charlie also sensed her interest in the matter. He smirked and answered frankly, “I don’t have it. Do you think it grows everywhere, like roadside weeds?”

Seeing a flicker of disappointment in Song Fan’s eyes, he continued enthusiastically, “But my second brother has it. Jason loves these peculiar things, and he’s also somewhat of a medical expert.”

He stared at Song Fan intently, as if hoping to see a different expression on her face.

However, Song Fan couldn’t recall anyone named Jason, and it seemed she hadn’t heard of this person in the medical field either. Puzzled, she asked, “Your second brother is a medical expert? Does your family have a hospital or a pharmaceutical company? I’m sorry; I’m not very familiar with the Brown family’s industries.”

Seeing her genuine expression, Charlie felt some regret. It seemed she genuinely had amnesia and couldn’t even remember Jason. He briefly replied, “The Brown family also has a pharmaceutical company and a few nursing homes, all managed by my second brother.”

“Your relationship…” Song Fan hesitated before asking, “Will he give you Snow Red Flower?”

“Of course not.” Charlie looked at her as if she were foolish, “That’s why I need your cooperation with President Gu.”

Song Fan had considered that Charlie must have some requirements. Still, she didn’t expect him to plan to poison Jason.

“A jewelry brand means little to the Brown Group, but it can elevate my position in the company. So, no matter how the brand performs, my second brother will definitely come to this site for the launch event.” Charlie had already planned the whole scenario, “As long as he comes, I’ll have the opportunity to poison him.”

“You can poison him yourself; this trivial matter should be within your capabilities.” Song Fan wasn’t interested in getting involved in the competition among these major families. Even if she had Snow Red Flower, she didn’t want Gu Chen to take unnecessary risks.

Jason understood medicine, and Gu Chen was poisoned. There might be a connection between the two. She even preferred Jason not to come to City A.

Song Fan stood up, “Today, I just wanted to discuss the people tailing us. Since it’s your family matter, please handle it. I’ll pretend you didn’t say what you just did..”
