Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Cheng Juan took out a cigarette and bit on it with drooping eyes and terrible expression.

The temperature around him felt even colder than minus one-degree celsius.

Lu Zhaoying stood at his original position while waiting before Cheng Juan finally ended the call and walked towards his direction after a long while.

“How’s it?” Lu Zhaoying looked at Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan put out his cigarette and threw it towards a nearby dustbin. “He’s aboard the plane. Let’s go up.”

He took two steps and spoke in a plain tone, “Call Uncle Jiang to dispatch some manpower here.”

Lu Zhaoying nodded his head with an extremely serious expression and followed behind Cheng Juan as he thought of Qin Ran’s soulless state. He felt pretty bad.

Who was it? Who would want to attack an old grandma on purpose?

In the emergency room upstairs.

When Qin Ran entered, Mu Nan was still sitting by the bed.

He then grabbed Chen Shulan’s hand while Mu Ying was crying uncontrollably at the side. Nonetheless, he sat beside Chen Shulan, emotionless.

It was only when Qin Ran entered that he lifted his head in a daze, looked at her, and said, “Cousin.”

“Yes, it’s alright.” Qin Ran patted his head.

Mu Nan’s tears came falling down in no time.

“Ran Ran…” Chen Shulan’s eyes were blurry upon hearing Qin Ran’s voice and she forced herself to cheer up.

Qin Ran fixed her gaze on Chen Shulan and, with both hands tensed up, reached out to grab her hand. “Grandma, I’m here.”

“I…” Chen Shulan was previously full of spirits, but it was tough for her to even say a word or take a breath now. “It’s nice to see you. It brings back…”

Chen Shulan panted hardly as she gazed at Qin Ran for a long time.

Her gaze then crossed behind Qin Ran again, looking towards the door as Cheng Juan entered—she was covered in snow.

“Mr. Cheng Juan, I think I want to have a chat with you alone.” She garnered her last bit of energy to sit upright and looked towards Cheng Juan behind everyone.

Ning Qing naturally remembered Cheng Juan, but Lin Qi and Old Master Lin had never met him before.

Wearing a knee-length trench coat, Cheng Juan looked tall and charismatic with great manners. With one look, one would know that he was no ordinary person.

Both of them froze for a moment.

“Everyone can leave.” Chen Shulan looked at Qin Ran as she spoke softly.

Cheng Juan also lowered his head and looked at her.

Qin Ran closed her eyes and stood up, exiting through the door.

As Lu Zhaoying just got back in touch with Jiang Hui, his heart sank a little at this scene and he walked towards Qin Ran’s side after keeping his phone.

In the emergency room, Cheng Juan sat on the chair which was previously occupied by Mu Nan.

The door was then closed.

“Mr… Mr. Cheng,” Chen Shulan raised her slightly shaky hand and looked at his pair of dark eyes which were filled with warmth. Word by word, she spoke extremely slowly, “Ran Ran’s winter clothes were prepared by you, right?”

Her voice was a little strained.

Cheng Juan’s heart sank even more, as he nodded his head very quietly.

“That’s good.” Chen Shulan closed her eyes and managed to smile with some difficulty. “From the summer break onwards, I haven’t bought anything for her. I can’t survive past… past this winter anymore. And the… the person I can’t bear to leave most is her…” She grabbed Cheng Juan’s hand even tighter. “Now I’m more assured.”

Her cloudy eyes finally showed signs of a smile.

“I have a request.” Chen Shulan took a breath as she spoke halfway, before resuming her words while looking at Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan lowered his head steadily and looked at her. “Please continue.”

Chen Shulan gazed towards the direction of the door. “Can you help me take good care of Ran Ran?”

As early as half a year ago, Chen Shulan was already aware of her own condition and also took notice of Cheng Juan’s presence upon Qin Ran’s hand injury incident.

After so many years, nobody but Qin Ran herself could cure her rebellious nature.

A few months before, Chen Shulan already found out that Qin Ran had set a few alarms on her phone, and when the alarms went off, even though she tended to get frustrated, she would still remember to take her medications.

That was Chen Shulan’s first encounter with Cheng Juan’s existence.

Afterward, she fell sick and officially met him for the first time.

Cheng Juan lowered his eyes and was seemingly guilty as he nodded his head under Chen Shulan’s gaze.

Chen Shulan finally heaved a sigh of relief while seemingly smiling. “It’s… It’s about time for me to go.”

Cheng Juan pursed lips, stood up, and opened the emergency room door.

Upon seeing the door open, Ning Qing and the others outside all rushed into the room.

“Mom! Doctor! Doctor, please hurry!” Ning Qing’s cries echoed from the room.

The doctors rushed inside immediately.

Qin Ran raised her head and looked at Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan lowered his head slightly, reached out for her shoulder, and softly said, “You should go in and see your grandma.”

A large crowd of people rushed into the room.

The doctor arrived and examined, only to shake his head at Ning Qing and Ning Wei who were crying miserably. “Ms. Chen’s body cells are being irradiated to their limits. A medical report was issued this morning. If we’re able to find a regenerating enzyme, there may still be a string of hope.”

“Regenerating enzyme?” In the room, Ning Qing and a few others were crying miserably, and perhaps only Lin Qi and Old Master Lin managed to maintain their cool. Lin Qi looked at the doctor and asked in a low tone, “Where can we get it?”

Ning Qing also turned her head and nervously looked at the doctor as she opened her mouth while choking. “Doctor, I beg you to use whatever method there is…”

The doctor shook his head and sighed. “The regenerating enzyme was just made known this morning, but any other specifications are not made known to us. However, even if the enzyme is found, only Gu Xichi has it. He’s a medical school graduate, but very few people have heard of his name. It will be hard even for Federal Medical Organization to find him.”

Both Lin Qi and Old Master Lin had never even heard of Gu Xichi before, but they had definitely heard of the Medical Organization.

Upon hearing what the doctor said, they also roughly came to understand how much of an impressive figure that graduate must be.

Lin Qi sighed.

As Qin Ran looked over to Chen Shulan who was very much unconscious, her head started ringing loudly, making her unable to think and grasp hold of anything at all.

Until she heard the doctor mention Gu Xichi.

She fiercely raised her head and fished out her handphone with shaking hands. “Yes, Gu Xichi.”

With no numbers saved in her cell phone, she keyed in one number after another to dial Gu Xichi. The call went through after just one beep.
