Chapter 285: The Poison Came from the Ring

scolded badly like Ke Xin if just one of these two men loved me!" Zheng Jie shook her head with a mixture of amusement and disbelief and continued working. 。Gu Yichen came to the bathroom door and w...Upon hearing Xu Zui Ning suddenly mention a man's name, Ou Yang Chu's brow furrowed tightly.

Cheng Jibei.

The name sounded familiar. He quickly searched his mind, and with his astonishing memory, he soon remembered who it was.

"Are you talking about Cheng Jibin, Cheng An's son"

As the Ou-yang family, Ouyang Chu wouldn't have had any dealings with them at all, and naturally wouldn't know anything about Cheng An's son.

But Ouyang Chu was born with a prodigious memory. Even if he only met someone once or heard their name once, he would retain some memories of them in his mind.

Although the Cheng family wasn't particularly wealthy, Cheng An's son was a renowned figure in the medical world of the Xuanqing Continent. A medical genius, he had graduated with a doctorate from the best medical schools abroad at a young age and made his own mark in the medical field.

Puyun Gu Xia often mentioned him in his ear.

That's why Ouyang Chu only had those kinds of impressions of him in his mind.

"Yes, it's him."

Xu Zui Ning said anxiously.

"Have you ever seen him Do you know what he's like"

Ou Yang Chu watched Xu Zui Ning's anxious expression towards Cheng Ji Bei, his face inevitably turning cold.

"Xu Zui Ning."

He reached out and grasped Xu Zui Ning's hand tightly, his cool fingers intertwining with hers, squeezing gently. He asked coldly.

"Are you inquiring about other men in front of me"

Xu Zui Ning felt the force of Ou Yang Chu's hand, raising her head to look at Ou Yang Chu's face. She saw that his eyes were filled with undisguised displeasure, and she suddenly realized something...

Ou Yang Chu, could it be that he's feeling jealous

Xu Zui Ning felt speechless for a moment.

Although Ou Yang Chu had confessed his feelings for her a long time ago, she could tell from his daily interactions that he liked her. It's just that this man always kept his emotions well hidden.

And he was always aloof and rarely showed any emotion, so Xu Zui Ning often forgot that the man in front of her liked her.

"That's not what I wanted to find out about him."

After she finished speaking, Xu Zui Ning suddenly felt very awkward. She and Ou Yang Chu weren't actually a couple, but now facing him, she inexplicably felt a little guilty.

"I'm just a little suspicious…"

Xu Zui Ning hesitated for a moment, but still told Ou Yang Chu her suspicions.

He could very well be my twin brother.

When Xu Zui'ning learned that she had a younger brother, the first thing she suspected was Cheng An's nominal son, Cheng Jibei, who was most likely her biological brother born alongside her.

This guess Xu Zui Ning felt was extremely likely.

As Cheng An had said before, the woman called Yevette, despite her cruel heart and her inhumane experiments on living people, cherished those hard-to-find subjects.

At first, she repeatedly experimented on Xu Zui Ning's mother, but she didn't harm her or the two children in her womb.

Because Xu Zui Ning's mother and the two children in her womb are both extremely rare Rh-negative blood types.

Finally, Xu Zui Ning's mother was killed, and Xu Zui Ning was transported through time. Later, by a series of coincidences, she returned to the Xu family again. Then her brother became the more precious experimental subject in her hands.

More importantly, Xu Zui'ning's younger brother shares the same bloodline as her. Since Xu Zui'ning successfully traveled to another continent, it is very possible that he can also activate the passage between the two continents.

Such a rare experimental subject, Xu Zui Ning believed that Eveleth would not let it go so easily.

This made Xu Zui Ning very suspicious, maybe the child was still with Cheng An or Eve.

So the first person she thought of was Cheng An's adopted son, Cheng Jibei.

Because she had heard from Liang Zitui a long time ago that Cheng Jibing was nominally Cheng An's son, but in reality they were not related by blood.

Liang Zitu often sighed that Cheng An must have adopted such a remarkably intelligent child from somewhere.

Looking at this, this child is most likely the younger brother of Xu Zui Ning who survived back then.

Upon closer inspection, their ages were indeed quite similar.

Xu Zui'ning quickly told Ou Yangchu that her mother had been carrying twins, but her brother disappeared later. Ou Yangchu immediately understood Xu Zui'ning's meaning and spoke.

"I'll have someone investigate Cheng Jibai's whereabouts right away, but..."

Ouyang Chu paused, looking at Xu Zui Ning, and continued in a light tone.

But, if that Cheng Jiben is really your younger brother, then Cheng An and the others would definitely hide him in a place that's very hard to find. Finding him would probably be very difficult.

Xu Zui Ning also understood what Ouyang Chu meant, and she nodded heavily with a solemn expression.

The biggest drawback this time that allowed Cheng An to narrowly escape wasn't the inability to follow his lead and find the mastermind, Eveleth. It was that Xu Zui Ning's identity had been completely exposed to the other party.

Then, if Cheng Jibin really was her biological brother, Yi Yevite and Cheng An would absolutely never allow her to easily find him.

"I understand."

Xǔ Zhuìníng's mood was low.

"So now, I've caused you a lot of trouble!"

"No trouble."

Ouyang Chu replied calmly, then his gaze fell on the hands tightly clasped together by him and Xu Zui Ning.

Xǔ Zuìníng's fingers were slender and fair, but at this moment her fingers were bare, with nothing on them.

Ouyang Chu's brows involuntarily furrowed again, this woman always had the ability to make his emotions shift suddenly.

"Why don't you wear the Sigh of the Archangels"

Xu Zui Ning heard his sudden change of topic, stunned for a moment before she reacted to what he was saying.

In the past, she wore the ring that Ou Yang Chu had given her—The Sigh of the Angel—at the Chi Shi meeting just to anger Zhu Yun Xin.

But that time she only wore it to spite Zhuo Yinxing, and after that, she never wore it again.

At this moment, seeing that Ouyang Chu suddenly brought up the ring, Xu Zhuoning recalled a very important matter about the ring. She hadn't had time to tell Ouyang Chu yet.

"Ou Yang Chu."

Xu Zui'ning spoke softly.

"About the sigh of archangels, I have something to tell you."

Ouyang Chu raised an eyebrow, asking with interest.

"What's up"

Xu Zui Ning hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth and told the truth.

"I suspect the frostbite venom within you originates from that ancestral amulet of your family, the Angel's Sigh."

Xu Zui Ning stared intently at Ou Yang Chu, originally thinking that after hearing her words, Ou Yang Chu would be surprised and shocked.

But she didn't expect that Ou Yang Chu's expression remained completely unchanged, with not a single ripple in his eyes.

He just glanced at Xu Zui Ning and asked back nonchalantly.

"How did you know"

Xu Zuiying told him about her previous guesses.

"Actually, I'm not entirely sure. I just happened to notice once that the sighs of the archangel had a very strong frostbone poison, identical to what you have. This poison is quite rare."

"I've always been curious why you contracted this poison. Later, I discovered that the sigh of the Archangel also carried it, so I suspected that the poison on your body actually came from that ring."

Xu Zui Ning was actually quite worried at this moment that Ou Yang Chu would ask her how she had discovered the poison on the ring. After all, a ring was just an inanimate object, unlike a human body which was easier to test for poison.only a wall separating us. They weren't speaking in hushed tones on purpose, so I could hear their conversation and learn what they were saying."Puyun Gu Xia, however, didn't have the look of sudden r...
