Chapter 58: Pushing the Blame to Gu Mang
Suddenly, the door to the room opened.
When Lu Xiwei saw Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang, she squeezed the papers in her hand and frowned. “What are you doing here?”
As though she didn’t see Lu Xiwei, Gu Mang’s cold gaze fell upon the old grandmother.
The old lady was stuck full of plastic tubes and her aged face was a sickly purple.
Suddenly Gu Mang’s eyes narrowed.
She said coldly, “I can’t guarantee anything.”
In an instant, the room’s atmosphere cooled a few degrees. Lu Chengzhou stared at Lu Xiwei.
It was an invisible pressure in the room. It was like a sharp, icy scalpel, pricking at Lu Xiwei’s throat.
She felt as though she were caught by a giant airtight net. Her entire body felt the suffocation. Even her bones were trembling.
Lu Chengzhou’s voice was cold. “Get out, all of you.”
Enduring the unpleasant position, Lu Xiwei bluffed, “Third Brother, this woman said that she was going to treat Grandma, but she ended up worsening Grandma’s situation. Why did you bring her here?! Do you want to kill Grandma?”
The moment she saw Gu Mang, she decided to push all the blame onto her.
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes narrowed. The sudden, cold gleam of light in his eyes was frightening.
The military doctor knew that they had caused trouble this time and he urged Lu Xiwei, “Ms. Lu, let’s step out.”
Worried that she would have to take the blame, she warned Gu Mang, “If something happens to my Grandma, I won’t let you off!”
She snorted and strode away.
Just as she walked out into the courtyard, Lu Yī and a group of onlookers surrounded Lu Xiwei. He said with a stern face, “Take Ms. Xiwei away. Keep a good watch on her!”
“Aye!”
Lu Xiwei’s eyes were instantly filled with panic.
…
Gu Mang threw her bag on the ground and took the old grandmother’s pulse.
The longer she spent at work, the more serious she looked.
After some time, Gu Mang put the old lady’s hand under the blanket. She stood up and said in a low voice, “It’s bad.”
Lu Chengzhou looked at the old lady on the bed. “What do you mean?”
“We have to perform a surgery,” Gu Mang said. “Do you know Yu Zhongjing, the leading brain expert?”
Lu Chengzhou nodded. “The sage doctor of brain surgery, elder of the medical association, ranked first out of all the brain experts. We’re looking for that guy?”
“Yeah, I need his help. Lu Xiwei isn’t good enough.” Gu Mang stuffed her hands in her pockets. She squatted down and took out a roll of silver needles from her bag. Then she placed the needles on several key acupuncture points. “I can buy some time. Go and get Yu Zhongjing as soon as possible.”
Lu Chengzhou didn’t waste a second as he took out his cell phone and made a call. “Bring Yu Zhongjing to the Lu residence as soon as possible.”
…
Yu Zhongjing was an old man in his fifties with a messy beard. He was someone who didn’t care much for his appearance.
He was screaming wildly as he was taken from some secret lab to the Lu residence by the bodyguards.
“Is the Lu Family made up of kidnappers? How could you take me like this! Isn’t my student Xiwei here? Why did you bring me here?! I was at a critical time in my experiment!”
When the Lu Family saw Yu Zhongjing their eyes widened in shock.
Lu Chengzhou was really crazy. How could he do this to someone of the Yu Family! Yu Zhongjing was a very influential member of the Yu Family! The three military doctors were dumbfounded. This was the mysterious sage doctor?!
Yu Zhongjing was carried into the old grandmother’s room as he continued to gripe, “Gentlemen, I can walk. Can you put me down? Ouch, my bones…”
Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly. His eyes slowly widened as he stared at Gu Mang in disbelief. “Maste…”
Gu Mang shot him a look and he immediately stopped himself.
