Chapter 138 - 138: Sorry, but Mr Gu…
Shen Qinghe shook her head. “They only said they informed the master about the situation.’
“Call them again and see if you can get the master to come. As long as he’s willing to come, no matter what demands he makes, we can agree to them,” Grandma Gu said directly.
Although she had initially doubted the feng Shui master from the Lin family, whom they had found online, Grandma Gu had to admit that ever since the master intervened, Gu Shiyan’s condition had been improving. Even his appetite during meals seemed much better.
“Alright.”
Shen Qinghe anxiously took out her phone and called Lin Bufan again.
In the meantime, Lu Miao discreetly surveyed the house.
Before entering, she had already observed that everything previously arranged in the courtyard remained intact, showing no signs of disturbance. The formation in the night sky also appeared as she had seen it before, still incomplete.
Logically speaking,
there shouldn’t have been any problems with Gu Shiyan’s health until the three-month deadline arrived, unless external factors such as a car accident or assassination were involved.
Unless…
A thought flashed through Lu Miao’s mind, and she immediately turned to go to her original room in the main mansion.
Seeing her movement, Gu Xingyu, who had been keeping a close eye on her, rushed over and blocked her. “What do you want to do by going out when we’re all here? Are you planning to steal something while we’re not paying attention?”
Before Lu Miao could speak, Gu Xingyu preempted her. “Don’t deny it, I saw it.
You even stole my brother’s clothes, Lu Miao, do you have any shame?”
Lu Miao swiftly turned her head to look at Gu Xingyu. “You touched those clothes?”
“That’s my brother’s clothes. I can do whatever I want with them. What’s it to
you?” Gu Xingyu glared at her.
“Where are the clothes?” Lu Miao asked directly.
“I burned them. Who knows what you were doing with my brother’s clothes every day. It’s disgusting.” Gu Xingyu expressed her strong disgust.
Lu Miao took a deep breath. This was the first time in both her past and present lives that she had disliked someone so much.
Previously, no matter how Gu Xingyu behaved, she didn’t care because it all seemed like childish tricks to her.
But that piece of clothing was the substitute she had painstakingly made for Gu Shiyan, his lifeline. It was a matter of life and death for him.
Now, Gu Xingyu had burned the clothes, which was equivalent to burning the substitute that protected Gu Shiyan from the harm of the array. She had directly exposed him to the Seven-Killing Formation.
He had been able to live peacefully until now because she had forcefully prolonged his life.
Without the substitute, with his current condition, the remnants of the formation in the night sky were enough to take his life.
She didn’t even need to open the door to the clinic room; she already had a sense of what was happening inside.
Even if Father of Medicine were alive, let alone those doctors, they would be of no use.
“Gu Xingyu, you’ve gone too far!” Gu Ziheng stepped forward with large strides.
“She’s the one who stole my brother’s clothes. That’s going too far,” Gu Xingyu said disgustingly.
Gu Xingyu looked at Lu Miao in disgust.” Lu Miao, you pervert…”
There was only half of the three-month deadline left, and now all her previous efforts had been wasted because of her.
Lu Miao looked at her with unprecedented frustration and anger.
“Shut up.”
Gu Xingyu was so frightened by her cold and fierce gaze that she took two steps back. Her eyes widened as she looked at her, not even daring to breathe loudly.
The door to the treatment room opened from the inside.
Grandma Gu stood up from the sofa and walked over quickly.
“Doctor, how is Ah Yan?”
Shen Qinghe, Gu Ziheng, and Gu Jinxi all surrounded the doctor and looked anxiously at the doctor at the door.
The leading doctor’s face was even paler than theirs. He shook his head and spoke nervously and fearfully.
“Old Madam Gu, Madam Gu, I’m sorry. We really did our best. Mr Gu…He…” He didn’t dare to say anything else.
Grandma Guts vision went black, and she staggered a few steps before falling backward.
“Grandma.”
Gu Ziheng quickly reached out to support her.
Gu Jinxi rushed forward and grabbed the doctor’s collar. He said angrily,” What did you say? My second brother was still with us yesterday. How could he die?”
The doctor was so scared that he almost knelt down. He felt wronged. He had come today to do a routine checkup for Mr Gu.
The moment Gu Shiyan was in trouble, they had given him emergency treatment.
However, the moment they touched Mr Gu, they realized that Mr Gu’s heartbeat had stopped.
In other words, before they could save him, Mr Gu had already…
Shen Qinghe seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. She stood in place and looked at the chaos in front of her.
A Taoist, dressed in Taoist robes and exuding an ethereal aura, was led inside by the servants.
“Madam, Master Qin has arrived.”
Grandma Gu finally regained her composure and immediately said, “Quick, bring the master in to have a look.”
The group hurriedly followed behind and entered the treatment room together.
On the hospital bed, Gu Shiyan still wore the white shirt he had on when he returned home, but the previously neat shirt was now wrinkled due to the previous rescue efforts.
His handsome face was deathly pale, and his eyes were tightly shut.
Master Qin approached, took out a gourd, opened it, dipped his finger into the water inside, and gently touched it to Gu Shiyan’s forehead. Then, he raised his hand, formed hand seals, and recited incantations while making gestures above Gu Shiyan’s body.
After tormenting him for a long time and seeing that Gu Shiyan did not have any reaction, she took out a few copper coins and placed them around him to chant a spell.
After a long while without any response from Gu Shiyan, the master Qin shook his head helplessly.
One by one, so-called masters were brought in.
Grandma Gu directly stated, “I don’t care what methods you use, whether orthodox or unorthodox, as long as you can save my grandson. I will agree to any conditions.”
The group of people approached one by one, each demonstrating their unique abilities—chanting spells, performing rituals, and even waving peach-wood swords around.
Lu Miao felt a headache coming on.
Even if Gu Shiyan wasn’t in trouble before, he would be in trouble now because of these people.
“How is it?” Grandma Gu asked, looking at them.
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Grandma Gu’s back, which had just straightened up, immediately slumped down.
“Mother.” Shen Qinghe choked, speaking up.
“It’s fine. I have sent someone to Jiuhua Mountain. The Great Master from Jiuhua will arrive later. When Shiyan was born, purple qi filled the sky, and the clouds in the sky resembled a giant dragon. The master said his destiny is noble, and in times of danger, he will have someone of high status to help him. Shiyan will definitely be fine.” Grandma Gu forced herself to speak calmly.
Shen Qinghe nodded, but her tears were like pearls that had been cut off from a string, flowing down non-stop.
Gu Ziheng’s eyes were red as he stood beside her, silently accompanying her.
Gu Jinxi was still young. His eyes were as red as a rabbit’s. He stubbornly raised his head and refused to let his tears fall.
Lu Miao looked at Gu Shiyan, who was lying there quietly. The image of him driving to Lingyue Manor in the middle of the night last night and sending her to the research lab appeared in her mind. He smiled and said that he did not know if he could live past tomorrow.
She let out a long sigh in her heart..
