Chapter 828: Gu Mang Is the Biggest Suspect

Lu Chengzhou fell deep in thought for several seconds before giving Lu Wu and Lu Qi a subtle glance, a signal for them to investigate the existence of any abnormalities in his grandmother’s ward.

Upon receiving the signal, the two turned around and left.

“When will Ms. Leng arrive?” Second Master Lu turned to Lu Chengzhou. When the latter returned his look wordlessly, he frowned. “Don’t tell me that you went to Jijing Island to accompany that woman to attend some stupid compet.i.tion instead of asking Leng Xuan to come and check on your grandmother?”

“Who said anything about finding Leng Xuan?” Lu Chengzhou slipped a hand into his pocket, his eyes sharp and cold.

“So you really accompanied Gu Mang to attend the compet.i.tion?!” Second Master Lu’s face turned purple at that.

Fourth Master Lu, who never liked his nephew, sneered. “To think your grandmother even called your name when she woke up briefly yesterday. Imagine how disappointed she’d be if she knew how unconcerned you are toward her.”

“What’s the point of bringing Gu Mang here?” Lu Xiwei pursed her lips. “Didn’t she say that Grandma would be fine for the next three to five years? It’s only been a year so far.”

Lu Ruoshui crossed her arms in front of chest. “It’s clear from Leng Xuan’s last visit to the capital that she’s interested in you. You wasted time on Jijing Island instead of taking the chance to bring her here?”

“Go invite her yourself, then.” Lu Chengzhou lifted his chin. “Do you need me to send you guys to Jijing Island?”

It was not so easy for the other members of the Lu family to obtain clearance to cross Jijing Island’s border. Getting visas alone would take a whole month. Thus, when they heard what Lu Chengzhou said, their faces darkened.

Second Master Lu glared at Lu Chengzhou. “Are you hoping for something to happen to your grandmother so that you can inherit the Lu family’s riches?”

“You think I would resort to illegal means to inherit the family’s money?” retorted Lu Chengzhou frigidly.

“You!” Second Master Lu gritted his teeth in anger before turning to Lu Zhan. “Are you just going to stand aside and watch your son do things his way? Even a fool knows who to choose between Leng Xuan and Gu Mang when it comes to life saving medical procedures!”

“Since Gu Mang has already entered the ER, let’s just wait and see,” said Lu Zhan as he looked at the emergency room’s lit sign. From what Junci told me earlier, Leng Xuan should be on her way here already.

“Fine! Let’s see what the outcome will be in the end!” After spitting out those words, Second Master Lu turned around and left.

When he was in the corridor of the hospital’s emergency exit, Second Master Lu took out his phone and carefully checked his surroundings before making a call. It rang for quite some time before someone answered it. He hurriedly asked, “Elder Gu, is Elder Leng not coming anymore?”

…

On his way back to the emergency room, Second Master Lu ran into Lu Chengzhou, Lu Yī, and Lu Qi.

“We found nothing unusual in the ward,” reported Lu Yī. “The nurses responsible for taking care of Old Madam are from Red Scorpion’s medical department so they’re trustworthy.”

While Lu Chengzhou said nothing to that, Second Master Lu stopped in front of them and scoffed. “Your grandmother has been taking Gu Mang’s medicine all this while. Seeing how close Yu Zhongjing seems to be with Gu Mang, I say she is the biggest suspect.”

Lu Ruoshui and Lu Xiwei, who were going to the bathroom, overheard their conversation. Lu Xiwei said, “Cousin, shouldn’t you check Gu Mang too?”

Lu Chengzhou’s expression darkened. “This hospital specializes in neuroscience, so it’s very convenient for you to register for a check-up. Just go to the first floor.”

He was overtly implying that the trio needed to check their brains and get treatment.

Anger overwhelmed Second Master Lu right away, but Lu Chengzhou had already turned around and headed toward the emergency room, paying no attention to them.

…

Leng Xuan, who had left Jijing Island right after Lu Chengzhou and the gang, arrived at the capital twenty minutes after them. She came straight to the hospital where the Lu family was at. Upon arriving at the emergency room’s floor, she noticed that the corridor was full of people.
