CHAPTER 725: CHAPTER 725: SU XIAOGE, ARE YOU SURE?

Su Ge remained silent, her young face gloomily terrifying.

Chu Qinghong could not help but stand up and walked toward her, whispering in her ear, "What do you think Chu Garden is, a place where you can just summon those people from the family whenever you wish?"

Su Ge gave him a cold glance.

After a few seconds of eye contact, Su Ge took out her phone and called Chu Yihan.

"Chu Qinghong, does it have anything to do with you?"

After a brief conversation with Chu Yihan, Su Ge hung up the phone, her sharp gaze fixing on Chu Qinghong.

"Me?" Chu Qinghong pointed at himself and then gave a light chuckle, "What does it have to do with me? Su Xiaoge, you need to speak more clearly."

"Why have you been visiting Grandfather so frequently lately?"

The last time she came to Chu Garden, Chu Qinghong was here drinking tea with Grandfather.

Normally, since the Old Master disliked his irresponsible and idle attitude, he mostly steered clear of the Old Master.

Was his recent behavior way too abnormal?

"Hey, Su Xiaoge, what kind of question is that? The Old Master is getting on in years; he can’t help but feel lonely. As his grandson, do I need a reason to keep him company? You think I’m like you guys, not visiting the Old Master even once in a year or half; you all are unfilial, yet you won’t allow me to perform my filial duties?"

Chu Qinghong sat back down as he spoke.

However, Su Ge’s cold eyes were aggressively fixed on him.

Chu Qinghong had a thick skin, pretending not to see, and casually poured himself a cup of tea.

"Grandfather has been poisoned."

Su Ge suddenly spoke up.

Chu Qinghong had just picked up his teacup when his hand abruptly stopped.

Glancing at the bright color of the tea in the cup, he hurriedly placed it down.

"Su Xiaoge, are you sure?" He looked at Su Ge skeptically, "Aren’t you just an amateur? The best doctors in Rong City didn’t notice that Grandfather was poisoned, so how did you?"

Su Ge kept a cold silence.

"Wait, no, you suspect that I’m the one who poisoned Grandfather?" Chu Qinghong realized this and felt both incredulous and innocent, "Su Xiaoge, you’re really jumping to conclusions here. Do you see me as such a malicious person? Why would I poison my Grandfather for no reason? Your accusation is simply unreliable."

"The poison affecting Grandfather is difficult to detect because it’s different from common poisons. This poison acts slowly; even with small doses, a person wouldn’t show any obvious signs of poisoning. If there were minor symptoms, the patient themselves wouldn’t notice because the poison has a long incubation period. It gradually adapts to the patient’s body, so during regular check-ups, it’s hardly detectable."

After explaining, Su Ge gave Chu Qinghong a challenging stare, "Only you come here every day. Aren’t you the one with the best opportunity to administer the poison?"

"Su Xiaoge, can you please have a conscience when you speak?" Chu Qinghong felt like he was being wrongfully accused, "If I really poisoned the Old Master, why would I still be here? Shouldn’t I be avoiding this place to make it look like it has nothing to do with me? You’re saying my presence here makes you suspect me; isn’t that foolish?"

"There’s a saying, ’the most dangerous place is the safest.’ Maybe you intentionally did the opposite, just to clear your suspicions?"

"I..." Chu Qinghong realized that she was quite eloquent and after a moment thought, "Su Xiaoge, you talk as if everything is set in stone, but is Grandfather truly poisoned? You admitted yourself that you’re just an ungraduated medical student. How can I believe you?"
