Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

When Qin Ran and Cheng Juan left, Gu Xichi’s regenerative enzyme had not come out yet.

Gu Xichi picked up the call after only one ring. “Xiao Ran, what’s the situation there?”

“My grandma…” Qin Ran clutched her phone tightly and stared intently at Chen Shulan.

Her throat was tight and she couldn’t finish her sentence.

“I know, brother already told me. I will reach the hospital in twenty minutes.” Gu Xichi passed the medicine box in his hand to Jiang Dongye. “Don’t worry.”

After he hung up, he turned towards Jiang Dongye and asked in a deep voice, “Is the car ready?”

Jiang Dongye looked around and nodded towards a black Volkswagen. “Over there, let’s go.”

Gu Xichi thought the car would be at the exit and didn’t expect to see the car parked pompously inside the airport.

Usually, he would have asked who had parked it so arrogantly, but it wasn’t the right time now.

He got into the car while thinking about Qin Ran’s voice and took out a cigarette, distressed. He didn’t speak, but his good-looking face was tense.

“Brother Gu, do you still not believe in your ability?” Jiang Dongye didn’t know Qin Ran’s grandma.

Thus, he was probably the most rational one amongst them.

According to the fact that all the big bosses in the world wanted to make friends with Gu Xichi, Jiang Dongye felt like as long as Gu Xichi was there, Qin Ran’s grandma would be fine.

“I have seen her with one foot in the grave before.” Gu Xichi looked at the snow outside the car window and his pale brows knitted together. “Even when… even when she was on the brink of death, her condition wasn’t as severe.”

Qin Ran had been trembling in fear.

Gu Xichi lowered his eyebrows and spit out a smoke ring, daring not to associate the word “fear” with Qin Ran.

Jiang Dongye glanced at him from the side and his mouth moved. He wanted to ask Gu Xichi what had been the situation between him and Qin Ran at that time, and what he meant by being on the brink of death?

In Shanghai, Jiang Dongye and Lu Zhaoying had also asked Qin Ran about her affairs with Gu Xichi.

Qin Ran only said briefly, “Near the end.”

Jiang Dongye couldn’t help but fish out another cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and wondered, What kind of situation does near the end mean? 

He was just thinking about this when his phone rang. It was a call from Cheng Juan.

Jiang Dongye put aside his cigarette and picked up directly.

**

Qin Ran hung up the phone in the hospital.

She stared tightly at the time on the phone.

She also clutched Chen Shulan’s hand, her eyebrows drooping and her lips pursed tightly.

Mu Nan crouched beside her. Chen Shulan was already completely unconscious.

Nobody cared about Qin Ran’s situation, and Ning Qing directly grabbed the doctor’s hand to ask, “Can Mr. Gu save my mother? How can we contact him? It doesn’t matter how much he asks for!”

The doctor sighed and appeased the patient’s condition. “It’s not a problem of money. Mr. Gu…”

He shook his head.

Lin Qi pulled Ning Qing away and comforted her in a low voice. “Calm down. The doctor is right, it’s not a question of money.”

It was already so difficult to find Gu Xichi in the United Nations. If they could hire him with money, why would the doctor’s attitude be like this?

A few steps behind, Cheng Juan had just finished talking to Jiang Dongye. He asked Jiang Hui’s men to open a pathway for Gu Xichi.

To ensure that there was no obstruction along the way.

Lu Zhaoying came in from outside with a mobile phone and said solemnly, “Master Juan, Uncle Jiang and Qian Dui’s men are here.”

Chen Shulan’s operation was still on the 22nd floor, and at this point, there were not many people in the hospital.

Cheng Juan glanced at Qin Ran and saw that she was standing upright with an almost expressionless face.

His usually lazy and inexplicably prideful eyes fell into silence as well.

He closed his eyes and turned around.

Eyes covered with frost, he took Lu Zhaoying’s phone and walked outside. He said in a concise way, “The hospital side channel is open, they will arrive in 15 minutes.”

“Uncle Jiang’s men have come up already.” Lu Zhaoying followed him out and nodded.

Both of them went down to pick up Gu Xichi. Cheng Juan didn’t know who was targeting Chen Shulan, but he wanted to make sure that nothing would go wrong.

Lin Qi and Old Master Lin had not yet reacted to why Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying were here.

They only vaguely saw figures in the corridor outside the door.

Old Master Lin glanced outside and within a minute, a team of bodyguards wearing black suits and private clothes came up to keep the entire passage tightly guarded.

No matter which direction he looked in, he felt ineffably apprehensive. They didn’t seem like ordinary bodyguards but like trained soldiers.

Everyone directly avoided them.

Some people saw this and turned directly to another corridor, not daring to approach this side.

With weapons pinned at their waist and a violent aura exuding from their body, nobody dared to approach them.

Even Lin Qi and Old Master Lin had never seen such a scene before.

“Who are these people?” Old Master Lin came out of the emergency room and was stunned for a moment before looking at Lin Qi in doubt.

Lin Qi also narrowed his eyes and finally shook his head. “I don’t know… It was probably due to the gentleman just now.”

He was talking about Cheng Juan.

As soon as he and Lu Zhaoying appeared, Lin Qi and Old Master Lin could feel that they were not ordinary. Especially Cheng Juan.

But they had searched in their minds for a long time and couldn’t think of any news similar to the two of them in Yun Cheng.

*

Ten minutes later, the dean and several directors came out of the elevator. Several black-suited men in the corridor blocked them directly and only let them in after asking Cheng Juan and confirming their identities.

“Miss Qin.” The dean was very familiar with Qin Ran and had seen Ning Wei before. He greeted the two before instructing the doctors to install the equipment.

Mu Ying and Ning Qing felt a little stunned at seeing the dean come in suddenly.

“Mom, this…” Mu Ying sobbed softly and looked at Ning Wei.

Ning Wei was staring at Chen Shulan in a trance and didn’t reply.

Mu Nan didn’t look at Mu Ying, either. He just reached out his bony hand and pressed Qin Ran’s shoulder. By Chen Shulan’s bed was her ECG going slower and slower.

**

After another five minutes, Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying returned and came out of the elevator.

Two young men were behind them.

One of them wore a white shirt and a casual down jacket while holding a medicine box in his hand.

It was Gu Xichi and Jiang Dongye.

The two rows of bodyguards standing in the corridor all gave way.

“Young Master Cheng.”

Cheng Juan’s usually relaxed face had a rare indifference. He nodded slightly before passing by them and walked directly into the emergency room.

Jiang Dongye, Lu Zhaoying, and Cheng Mu didn’t enter.

Soon, all unrelated personnel was cleared out of the emergency room.

Only a group of doctors and Gu Xichi stayed inside.

As soon as Mu Ying and the others came out, they realized how quiet the corridor was and saw the two rows of bodyguards standing in front.

The emergency door closed.

Qin Ran leaned against the wall on one side, her eyebrows drooping and a hand on her side. Her nails deeply embedded in her palms and her joints were pale, but she didn’t even utter a single word.

She could be seen to be trembling slightly upon closer inspection.

Her figure had a sense of coldness that couldn’t be melted away.

“Ran Ran, those people just now…” Old Master Lin looked at Qin Ran curiously.

Ning Qing wasn’t clear-headed and only knew that the attending doctor had said Chen Shulan had no hope. But now that a group of doctors went in, she looked up at Qin Ran and asked, “Did the doctors go in to save your grandma? Who are they? Are they reliable?”

Qin Ran still hung her head and didn’t speak. Lu Zhaoying also ignored them.

Jiang Dongye didn’t know Qin Ran’s family, but he could tell that Ning Qing looked similar to Qin Ran, so he nodded and replied politely, “That’s Cheng… Erm, there is Gu Xichi inside. If he’s unreliable, then you will not be able to find a more reliable person in the medical organization.”

Ning Qing and Mu Ying didn’t know what the medical organization was.

But according to the attending doctor’s description, it was probably not accessible to ordinary people. Especially the name “Gu Xichi”, it seemed like, besides Mu Ying and Ning Qing, even Lin Qi and the others also knew him.

This was the man who couldn’t be hired with money.

Ning Qing and Mu Ying were the most shocked when they heard Jiang Dongye say that Gu Xichi was inside. “Gu Xichi?”

How did Qin Ran know Gu Xichi?

However, Qin Ran didn’t reply. Lu Zhaoying and Jiang Dongye kept quiet and just stood on either side of her.

A man in black heading the corridor came over with a mobile phone and handed it to Jiang Dongye. “Young Master Jiang, Director Jiang’s call.”

Lin Qi and Old Master Lin didn’t know Jiang Dongye, but they were familiar with “Director Jiang”.

He was a politician who was on par with Yun Cheng’s Feng Loucheng. In particular, this politician was from Beijing, so, to a certain extent, Feng Loucheng couldn’t even compare to him.

Old Master Lin’s expression changed.

“Yes.” Jiang Dongye took the phone and went to one side to pick it up. “Little uncle…”

Director Jiang had not rested yet and stood in front of the study window. “What’s the situation, do I need to go over?”

In one night, many high-level executives in Yun Cheng had been alarmed, and he had already received several calls.

He had begun to wonder if Yun Cheng was facing another major incident such as the case with the Poison Wolf or the bombing incident three years ago.

“It’s about Miss Qin’s grandma, so you don’t have to come,” Jiang Dongye lowered his voice and replied. “The situation…” He narrowed his eyes and thought of how Gu Xichi’s expression had not been good when he rushed out, so he couldn’t help but shake his head. “I will tell you later.”

He hung up.

Director Jiang didn’t think much about it.

He had an impression of Qin Ran’s grandma and had also seen her at Master Wei’s apprenticeship banquet the last time. She was a simple old woman, and Director Jiang already knew that her condition had been a little wrong back then.

While he was deep in thought, his phone rang again with a call from Feng Loucheng.

Feng Loucheng asked him about what happened in Yun Cheng.

Director Jiang had just asked Jiang Dongye, and since Feng Loucheng had a good relationship with Qin Ran, he didn’t conceal it and told him honestly.

He originally thought Feng Loucheng would have the same attitude as him.

Unexpectedly, Feng Loucheng’s voice sounded extremely shocked over the phone. “What?! Her grandma?!”

He heard the sound of Feng Loucheng moving about putting on his clothes in an anxious manner.

He was probably wearing his coat and preparing to go out.

Unsurprisingly, he was probably going to the hospital to find Chen Shulan and Qin Ran.

Feng Loucheng hung up the phone hurriedly and Director Jiang frowned slightly.

He tapped his finger on the phone—

It wasn’t difficult to understand Cheng Juan’s big movements regarding Chen Shulan. After all, he was clearly interested in the little girl… but why was Feng Loucheng so nervous?

**

Feng Loucheng went out overnight.

Madam Feng had just finished taking a shower and watched as Feng Loucheng put on his coat and took his car key. “Where are you going?”

“To the hospital.” Feng Loucheng had no time to explain and just rushed out to his car.

Madam Feng frowned at this rare sight.

Feng Loucheng sat in the driver’s seat and reached out for his phone to call Cheng Mu.

He asked about Qin Ran’s current address and situation.

Cheng Mu concisely told him the floor number where Chen Shulan was located.

The Feng family’s house wasn’t far from the hospital.

He arrived at the hospital in less than twenty minutes.

Anxious, he rushed to the emergency room.

As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw a group of people gathered outside the emergency room.

The emergency room was still closed.

A bodyguard was about to stop Feng Loucheng, but Lu Zhaoying saw him and said directly, “I know him, there’s no need to check.”

Lu Zhaoying and Feng Loucheng had cooperated several times before and were rather familiar with each other.

The bodyguard immediately backed away and let Feng Loucheng in.

Lu Zhaoying’s voice caught the attention of the others and Lin Qi also looked up.

He was holding a cigarette in his hand and thought the person who had just come in was a nurse or a doctor. After all, many nurses and doctors had come and gone.

He didn’t expect to see Feng Loucheng and was stunned and surprised. “Mayor Feng?”

Old Master Lin and Ning Qing also glanced over.

Feng Loucheng didn’t reply. His gaze directly skipped over the Lin family and the Ning family to Qin Ran. He walked over and asked solemnly, “Miss Qin, is Aunt Chen okay?”
