Chapter 58 Shifting All Blame Onto Gu Mang

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open.

Seeing Lu Xixiwei accompanied by Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang, Lu Xixiwei clutched the documents in her hand tightly, frowning as she asked, "What are you here for?"

Gu Mang ignored her completely, her cold and piercing gaze falling upon the elderly woman.

The old lady's body was covered in plastic tubes, her aged face bruised and sickly pale.

A dark, frozen look flashed in the depths of Gu Mang's eyes.

She said coldly, "No certainty."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire room plummeted by several degrees.

Lu Chengzhou fixed his pitch-black gaze on Lu Xixiwei.

An invisible, crushing pressure pierced Lu Xixiwei's throat like a sharp, icy scalpel.

She felt as though she were trapped in a tightly woven, inescapable giant net. A suffocating sensation consumed her entire body, making her bones tremble as if she had fallen into an icy cellar.

The man's voice was frigid with fury, "Get out, all of you."

Enduring her discomfort and putting on a bold front, Lu Xixiwei argued, "Third Brother, this woman claimed she could treat Grandmother last time, and look what she's turned Grandmother into! Why did you bring her back here again?! Are you trying to kill Grandmother?!"

The moment she caught sight of Gu Mang, she had resolved to pin every bit of the blame on her.

Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes, a chilling, terrifying gleam flashing in their depths.

Knowing they had stirred up serious trouble, the military doctors urged Lu Xixiwei, "Miss Lu, let's step outside first."

Glad to have a way to shake off this hot potato, Lu Xixiwei turned to issue a warning to Gu Mang, "If anything happens to my grandmother, I will never let you go!"

With a cold snort, she strode out.

The moment she stepped into the courtyard, Lu Yi immediately led a man to surround her, his expression severe and unyielding. "Take Miss Xixiwei away and keep a close eye on her!"

"Yes!"

Panic instantly flooded Lu Xixiwei's eyes.

...

Gu Mang tossed her bag onto the floor and began taking the old lady's pulse.

The longer she checked, the more solemn and heavy the girl's expression grew.

After what felt like an eternity, Gu Mang tucked the old lady's hand back under the blanket, stood up, and spoke in a low, suppressed voice, "It's complicated."

Lu Chengzhou glanced at the old woman on the bed. "What do you mean?"

"Surgery is required," Gu Mang stated. "Do you know Yu Zhongjing, the top neurosurgeon?"

Lu Chengzhou nodded. "The master of neurosurgery, a veteran figure in the medical association, and the top-ranked brain specialist. Do you want to find him?"

"Yes, I need his help. Lu Xixiwei isn't qualified enough for this." With both hands shoved into her pockets, Gu Mang spoke in a slow, unhurried tone. She crouched down, retrieved a roll of silver needles from her bag, and applied them to several vital acupuncture points. "I can buy some time, but you need to find Yu Zhongjing as soon as possible."

Without wasting a single second, Lu Chengzhou pulled out his phone and made a call. "Bring Yu Zhongjing to the Lu residence. Immediately."

...

Yu Zhongjing was a disheveled, bearded old man in his fifties.

Dragged out from who knows what kind of secret laboratory, he shouted and protested loudly as the bodyguards carried him into the Lu residence.

"Are you people from the Lu family bandits? How can you just kidnap people like this?! My student Xixiwei is right there, why did you have to drag me here?! My experiment was at its most crucial stage!"

Upon seeing Yu Zhongjing, the members of the Lu family stared in wide-eyed shock.

Lu Chengzhou must have completely lost his mind to treat someone from the Yu family like this!

And this was a heavyweight figure of the current generation in the Yu family, no less!

The three military doctors stood dumbfounded. The elusive, legendary divine doctor Yu?!

Yu Zhongjing was hauled straight into the old lady's room, still sputtering indignantly, "Good warriors, I can walk on my own two feet, could you please put me down—ouch, my old bones..."

Suddenly, his voice cut off completely. His eyes widened fractionally with every passing second as he stared at Gu Mang in utter disbelief. "Mas—"

With a single sweeping glance from Gu Mang, he hurriedly swallowed the remaining syllable back down his throat.
