Chapter 830: Gu Mang Must Be Found No Matter What!

The entire medical team panicked and turned to look at Yu Zhongjing for help. “Director...”

None of them could afford to offend the Lu family and they would surely not be let off if the blame fell on them.

Yu Zhongjing glared at the accusers. “Don’t talk nonsense here! How can our hospital even get our hands on Jijing Island’s latest poison?”

Second Master Lu retorted, “Are you saying that it was one of our family members’ doing then?”

Yu Zhongjing’s face darkened at that.

Lu Shangjin naturally did not believe this matter was in any way related to Yu Zhongjing and his medical team. His gaze shifted back to Leng Xuan. “Ms. Leng, since this is Jijing Island’s newest form of poison, shouldn’t you be giving us an explanation?”

Leng Xuan turned toward Leng Yun. “Wasn’t the posion stored at the medical association? We haven’t even announced it to the public. How did it appear here?”

“I’m not sure either.” Leng Yun shook her head and respectfully answered, “I’ll go check with the research team now.”

After saying that, she handed her medical kit to someone and left to make a phone call.

While walking past Lu Chengzhou, however, she frowned. Why isn’t Gu Mang here?

Upon noticing that Lu Chengzhou had returned, Lu Shangjin approached him. “Did you hear that?”

Lu Chengzhou nodded.

Leng Xuan looked at Lu Chengzhou and asked, “Young Master Lu, where is Eldest Missy?”

The others had no idea who Leng Xuan was referring to, so Second Master Lu asked, “May I know who you’re talking about, Ms. Leng?”

“Gu Mang. She’s the Gu family’s eldest daughter.”

From the way everyone else stared at Leng Xuan, it was obvious they were shocked to hear this news. Gu Mang... is the Gu family’s eldest daughter?

Second Master Lu frowned. “So are you implying that Gu Mang was able to get her hands on that poison?”

“What are you insinuating?” demanded Yu Zhongjing fiercely.

“Am I wrong?” Second Master Lu tilted his body. “My mother had been taking Gu Mang’s medicine all this while. She was also present just now. It would be easier for her than anyone else to poison my mother.”

Fourth Master Lu turned toward Lu Chengzhou. “Where’s Gu Mang?”

Everyone looked at Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Yī’s phone rang just then. He looked around first before answering the call. However, his expression turned into one of shock the next second and his voice became strained. “I got it.”

After ending the call, he pursed his lips and said, “Young Master Lu, Lu Qi said that Ms. Gu has left.”

“Left?” Lu Chengzhou’s neutral expression instantly darkened.

Lu Yī lowered his head. “Not long after leaving the hospital compound, Ms. Gu told Lu Qi to stop driving. She then got in a cab and forbade Lu Qi from following her.”

Hearing that, Second Master Lu sneered. “Looks like she’s the one who poisoned your grandmother. Look, she’s running away now.”

Fourth Master Lu looked at Lu Chengzhou. “How are you going to settle this matter? If you refuse to do anything we’ll just have to take this matter into our own hands.”

“Do you have any evidence that Gu Mang did it?” demanded Leng Xuan icily.

“We’ll have the evidence once she’s caught,” replied Fourth Master Lu.

Lu Chengzhou was not paying attention to their conversation. All he was thinking was how unusual Gu Mang looked earlier. She had been in a terrible mood ever since she stepped out of the emergency room. When a sudden thought arose in his mind, he looked at Yu Zhongjing. “Did Grandma regain her consciousness and say anything to Gu Mang earlier?”

Yu Zhongjing knew the relationship between Gu Mang and the Gu family better than anyone. Thus, he knew that what happened today was a setup. Otherwise, there was no way Leng Xuan would respectfully address Gu Mang as ‘Eldest Missy.’ Should the Lu family decide to take action against her, she would have no choice but to return to Jijing Island.

Lu Chengzhou’s question pulled Yu Zhongjing out of his daze and he reflected on the earlier situation for a bit. “Old Madam Lu did regain consciousness for a very brief moment. She held Ms. Gu’s hand and said something to her, but we failed to catch it, so we don’t know what she was trying to say.”

With pursed lips, Lu Chengzhou turned around and strode toward the exit with Lu Yī hurriedly following behind him. His voice was bone-chillingly cold when he instructed Lu Yī, “Pass down my order. I want all the entrances and exits to be strictly monitored. Gu Mang must be found no matter what.”

“Yes.”

...

Meanwhile, at the Blood Institute’s entrance.

The Blood Institute was located in a sparsely populated suburb so there were hardly any people out at night.

When Song Xian came out of the institute building, he found Gu Mang sitting alone on the curb. A black motorcycle was parked on the side of the road.

She had one leg stretched out and the other leg bent close to her body. She was holding a cigarette between her fingers as she rested her arm on the knee of her bent leg. Her head was hanging low and her shoulders were slouched.

Song Xian had never seen her in this state before. Not even when Gu Mang had first found out about her parents’ tragic deaths and knelt on the ground to sew their bodies back together piece by piece. Thus, the sight of her in this state made him freeze on the spot for several seconds before slowly making his way over to her. “Gu Mang.”

She slowly turned her head around when she heard his voice. Her eyes were red, but not from crying. It was more like her emotions had reached a breaking point and she was on the verge of crumbling. In a hoarse voice, she greeted him. “Master.”
