Highly toxic

Da Yao's face turned pale, and when he wanted to say something more, Geng Yan had already reached out and picked up the cigar cutter on the table.

"If you don't forget Geng Yan." Yan Fuqing smiled suddenly, "It's just a game, besides, you participated in it on a whim, and it would be embarrassing if you go back on the spur of the moment. Besides, this is your place, but no one is here. Dare to force you to do anything."

It sounds magnanimous and dismissive, but in fact every word is sarcasm.

Geng Yan's face was cold, he took a deep breath, "I am willing to admit defeat, I can afford this price."

After finishing speaking, Geng Yan exerted strength in his hands.

"Fuck!" Da Yao yelled, turned around and pushed the subordinates beside him, "Go and drive the car to the door, go!"

Yan Fuqing looked at Geng Yan's pale complexion, sweat was already dripping down his chin, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Jiang Mu looked at Geng Yan's horrible wound, and finally his vision went dark, and he passed out on the ground before he could say a word.

"Send him back to the hotel where I'm staying..." Geng Yan ordered a subordinate in a hoarse voice.

In the end, Geng Yan and the others left the box, leaving behind Yan Fuqing and others.

Except for Yan Fuqing, who seemed to be in a happy mood, the faces of the others all looked a little solemn.

After tonight, the fake brotherhood between Geng Yan and Yan Fuqing, which could barely be maintained in the past, has split openly.

A person like Geng Yan, who is valued by Niwei, but hardly takes power from him, is actually not a threat to Niwei's other adopted sons at all. win over.

It's just that Yan Fuqing's grievance with Geng Yan was too early, and his status is not low, so he never concealed his hatred for Geng Yan.

He will not let go of any opportunity to torture Geng Yan.

"Which three cards are missing in your hand?" Yan Fuqing suddenly asked the woman who dealt the cards just now.

The woman looked down at the six cards in her hand, and replied truthfully, "The one missing is the two-three-nine of spades."

Yan Fuqing rubbed his chin and pondered, "Hei Qi got three, and Geng Yan got two, so that little guy got nine?"

"It's really strange." Hei Qi said in a rough voice, "Since the brat took the nine, who was it for someone to be scared like that? It's impossible for nine to be a loser, let alone my three capitals at that time. opened."

"That guy's can't be nine." Yan Fuqing said, "Geng Yan's is not two of spades, otherwise their reactions would be problematic."

"That……"

"The result is obvious." A meaningful smile appeared in Yan Fuqing's eyes, "It's really interesting."

----

Jiang Mu, who was awakened by the nightmare, suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes widened and he looked ahead in horror, with cold sweat on his forehead.

Is it a dream?

No.

The soft morning light spread on the bed through the floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, but the chill brought out from the dream still lingered around Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu lay back on the bed again, pressing his hands hard forehead...

It was indeed not a dream, but he was frightened and fainted later, when Geng Yan paid the price as the "loser" of that gamble.

Thinking back to that scene, Jiang Mu's bones shuddered, and he had a premonition that he would not be able to get out of this nightmare for at least a month.

Those people last night were all crazy.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Jiang Mu began to replay the scene of last night in his mind, the shocking blood, and the terrifying two of spades.

He remembered clearly that he was the one who got the two of spades.

But why is Geng Yan's card also two of spades?

Were there two at the beginning?

But the first nine cards before the deal were shown to everyone. There were nine cards from two to ten of spades clearly, and none of them was repeated. There were so many pairs of eyes at the scene, and the woman who dealt the cards was still wearing a nude dress. Shoulder skirt, there is no chance to play tricks from it.

Could it be that I was wrong at the time?The card in hand wasn't the two of spades at all?

But if Geng Yan had the smallest two of spades from the beginning, why did he rush over to look at his cards so nervously?

Doesn't the person who gets the two of spades lose without any suspense?It should be that it doesn't matter what number others get, but Geng Yan...

Jiang Mu's heart was in a mess. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't verify it.

To solve the doubts, it is obvious to ask the other party, who is still lying in the hospital right now, Geng Yan.

Regarding the injury last night, Jiang Mu suspected that Geng Yan would stay in the hospital for at least a week.

After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Jiang Mu decided to visit Geng Yan in the hospital.

Whether it's because of his current relationship with Geng Yan, or the cause of the whole incident, in short, he definitely can't completely put himself out of this incident.

After getting up and washing, Jiang Mu casually ate two bags of snacks bought yesterday to fool his breakfast.

After packing up and leaving the hotel, it was only eight o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Mu called Geng Yan directly, wanting to ask which hospital he was staying in right now.

Geng Yan answered the phone quickly, and said, "I was just thinking, if you didn't even call this morning, I'll ask you to look after me when I go back."

Jiang Mu was quite satisfied with Geng Yan's voice, and suddenly he was not so worried.

"I just woke up." Jiang Mu tried to express that he thought of Geng Yan immediately, "Then...I thought of calling Brother Yan, how is Brother Yan?"

"I can't die anyway."

"..."

Geng Yan told Jiang Mu the name and location of the hospital he was staying in, and ordered before hanging up the phone, "Come here and bring breakfast, I'm fucking starving to death."

Jiang Mu bought a breakfast for Geng Yan on the way to the hospital.

Arriving at the hospital, just as he was about to enter the inpatient building, Jiang Mu was stopped by a middle-aged woman who had just walked out.

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Mu looked up and was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that this was Qing Ma, the nanny in Geng Yan's villa.

Although I only saw her once, and I haven't seen her for a few months, Jiang Mu's memory of Qingma's kind and friendly face is still fresh.

Back then when he came out of Geng Yan's villa, Qing Ma kindly gave him an umbrella, she was a very nice woman.

Jiang Mu smiled and called Qing Ma.

"Is Mr. Jiang also here to visit Xiao Geng?" Mother Qing asked with a smile.

"Um... yes." Jiang Mu saw the insulated food box in Qingma's hand, and asked suspiciously, "Are you here to deliver food to Geng Yan?"

"Yeah, I prepared it specially and brought it here, but Xiao Geng didn't eat it, saying that someone had already given it to him." Qing Ma said, looking at Jiang Mu's breakfast bag in his hand with some meaning.

Jiang Mu subconsciously avoided the hand holding the bag behind him. Facing Qingma's see-through smile, Jiang Mu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

He understood now that Geng Yan did it on purpose.

He refuses to eat the ones made by Qingma himself, so he has to make things difficult for himself.

"How about this, Mr. Jiang, I'll give you this, and you take it up and give it to Xiao Geng." Qing's mother said, "The doctor said that his diet must be light during this period, and there are so many things to avoid."

Jiang Mu nodded, and reached out to take the insulated food box from Qingma's hand.

"Mr. Jiang, can you leave a contact information?" Mother Qing said softly again, "If there is anything on my side, I would like to ask you to pass it on to Xiao Geng. I found that he seems to be willing to get close to you."

Qing Ma's last sentence frightened Jiang Mu, he waved his hands in a hurry, "No, Qing Ma, you are really overthinking, I... I and Geng Yan are... just..."

Said it was Geng Yan's Xiaoqing'er, it was definitely impossible to say, Jiang Mu held back until the end, and just said, ordinary friends.

Finally, after exchanging numbers with Qing Ma, Jiang Mu entered the building with the food box.

At the door of Geng Yan's ward, Jiang Mu gently knocked on the door, and it was Geng Yan's brother Da Yao who came to open the door for him.

When Dayao saw Jiang Mu outside the door, his face darkened obviously.

"I... I'll come and see Mr. Geng." Jiang Mu said softly.

"Did Brother Yan ask you to come?" Da Yao said coldly, and when he finished speaking, he saw the food box in Jiang Mu's hand again, and after a pause for two seconds, he turned sideways, and said in a nonchalant manner, "come in."

Seeing Jiang Mu coming in, Geng Yan said to Da Yao, "Go back first, call me if you need anything."

Da Yao glanced at Jiang Mu, and just about to say something, Geng Yan glared at him, then Da Yao let out an "Ah" with his head drooping, turned and left the ward.

Jiang Mu put the food box on the table, and Geng Yan recognized the insulated food box at a glance.

"Meet Qingma?" Geng Yan asked.

"Well, I met you when I was about to enter the building." Jiang Mu answered honestly, and took out the food in the thermal food box layer by layer, "You have to eat something lighter these days, these made by Qing Ma Just right."

Geng Yan said with a sullen face, "Then you didn't buy it for me?"

"I bought it." Jiang Mu was afraid that Geng Yan would feel that he didn't listen to him, so he said quickly, "This bag is it, but the ones bought outside are definitely not as nutritious and hygienic as Qingma's."

As Jiang Mu said, he took a bowl of vegetable porridge from the food box. He set up the small dining table beside the bed, and gently placed the porridge and other snacks on the table.

"Still... still warm." Jiang Mu gently stirred the hot porridge twice with a spoon, then turned to Geng Yan and said.

Geng Yan looked at Jiang Mu expressionlessly, "Are you asking me to eat by myself?"

Jiang Mu stared blankly at Geng Yan, a little confused.

"Do you know where I hurt?"

Jiang Mu felt that something was wrong with Geng Yan's mood, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay...it seems to be the left hand..."

"So do you think I can afford a spoon?" Geng Yan said in a dark tone.

"But...but isn't the right hand fine?" Jiang Mu reminded very carefully and earnestly, but after he finished speaking, he found Geng Yan's face became more gloomy and cold, and he suddenly became nervous, and asked cautiously, " Brother Yan's right...is his right hand also injured?"

"The right hand is not injured." Geng Yan suddenly laughed, "Not only can I hold a spoon, but it doesn't take much effort to whip you."

"..."

Jiang Mu looked at Geng Yan at a loss, his eyes filled with desire for "reminders", looking cautious and pitiful.

Geng Yan finally couldn't bear the anger and said, "Hey me! Are you a fucking fool? Will you feed me?"

Jiang Mu suddenly realized, nodded his head skillfully, and then quickly picked up the bowl of porridge on the small table.

"Idiot." Geng Yan snorted coldly.

Jiang Mu held a spoonful of porridge and gently brought it to Geng Yan's mouth. Geng Yan's expression eased a lot. The moment he opened his mouth and pursed it, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu's handsome face was tense, and he was as cautious as walking on thin ice. His eyes were fixed on Geng Yan's open lips. These focused eyes showed a subtle embarrassment in Geng Yan's heart.

"I estimate that I will stay in this hospital for two or three days." Geng Yan said solemnly while eating, "Don't miss three meals a day, you know?"

"Um"

"Don't pack food from the restaurant to deal with me." Geng Yan said, "Go to the kitchen of my villa to make it, or wait for Qing Ma to prepare it, and then you bring it to me."

"Ah."

"What the hell are you doing besides um?"

"Ok."

"..."

Being stared at by Geng Yan with murderous eyes, Jiang Mu quickly explained, "I mean, I will definitely take good care of you these few days, don't worry."

"That's about the same, otherwise what would you do."

The two of them didn't talk anymore, the air suddenly became quiet, Jiang Mu concentrated on feeding Geng Yan the porridge, Geng Yan cooperated with Jiang Mu's movements and honestly drank the porridge, the atmosphere became inexplicably ambiguous.

From time to time, Geng Yan raised his eyes to observe Jiang Mu, looked at Jiang Mu's thick eyelashes, and under the eyelashes, those eyes that were always shining with light, brown pupils, like glass balls.

Tsk, it looks good.

"I...I want to ask you something..." Jiang Mu said suddenly.

The sudden voice brought Geng Yan back to his senses in an instant, he coughed twice before asking, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Mu stopped feeding the porridge. He looked at Geng Yan and asked with a complicated expression, "In the game last night, why did your card be the two of spades?"

Geng Yan was stunned for two seconds, then said calmly, "Why can't I be the two of spades?"

"Obviously the one in my hand is the one." Jiang Mu looked at Geng Yan with a serious expression, "It is impossible for those nine cards to have two spades? Unless the woman cheated, but if it was the woman who cheated, you will be caught on the spot. You can showdown and ask for a draw, but you didn't, which means it's not the woman's problem, it's you..."

Geng Yan turned his head to look at Jiang Mu, frowning slightly, "When did you stop stuttering?"

Jiang Mu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately retorted, "I've stopped kowtow... I've kowtowed."

Geng Yan closed his eyes, and replied calmly, "Your card is Nine of Spades, it was you who frightened yourself and misread the card for a while."

"Impossible, I remember clearly that it is the two of spades, two and nine are so different, how could I be wrong." Jiang Mu said, "And if your card is two, then you are doomed to lose from the very beginning , why are you still so nervous to come over and look at my cards?"

Geng Yan looked at Jiang Mu strangely, Jiang Mu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Geng Yan, and said nervously, "I... what's wrong with me?"

Geng Yan laughed softly, "It seems that your IQ is not always offline, and it seems that you have been wronged by calling you an idiot all the time."

Jiang Mu gritted his teeth twice, and didn't dare to refute anything, but said with a gloomy face, "What do you mean, what I just said is right?"

"What's right or wrong, the ghost knows what you're talking about."

Jiang Mu took a deep breath, and finally expressed the guess in his heart, "Did you hide the cards beforehand, and then replaced the cards in your hand with the two of spades?"
