Chapter 824: A Call From Lu Zhan. We’re Losing Old Madam

Lu Chengzhou did not intend to hide the matter regarding the Blood Institute. It was only a matter of time before Lu Zhan and Ye Junci found out about it. When Gu Mang had delivered medicine to Gu Si back then, Qin Fang had already started to become curious about Gu Mang’s actions. So, he looked into the matter behind their backs.

Later, he saw that tube of light blue medicine. It looked exactly the same as the ones that Lu Zhan took from Ye Junci every year. Also, Huo Zhi came to the capital and then he went to Mingyu Island to look for Gu Si.

The identities of Gu Mang and Gu Si were already very obvious to them.

Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes.

So all the projects at the Blood Institute had to resume and the Elders’ Association also had to be prepared.

At this moment, there was a faint smile on his face and he looked magnanimous yet obnoxious. “And so what?”

Without Gu Mang, his relationship with Jijing Island would only be limited to the medicine that he received from Ye Junci every year. He would be living every day as if it were his last.

But not Gu Mang. She could not lead such a life.

Ye Junci looked at his righteous expressions wordlessly. Her lips moved as if she wanted to speak, but she realized that no matter what she said, her words would be meaningless to Lu Chengzhou.

She looked away with a cold expression. The atmosphere was a bit tense.

Lu Chengzhou refilled Ye Junci’s teacup. “Mom, help me out.”

When Ye Junci heard this, her head was abuzz. She looked up suddenly and the anger on her face turned into astonishment. She stared at Lu Chengzhou in shock. She could tell that Lu Chengzhou did not want to see her.

Previously, he had only met her because he wanted to trade with her. Afterwards, he had only taken a meal with her at the same table because of Gu Mang too. Since she had come over, he had been taking the initiative to refill her teacup.

Now, he had even called her ‘Mom.’

Lu Chengzhou was someone who would plot against anyone. Given his personality…

This act of filial piety could happen between anyone but never between this pair of mother and son.

It could only be…

Ye Junci was subconsciously on guard. Her eyes were cold and solemn. “I don’t care about your plans and I will never agree.”

Lu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow slightly, and he sounded calm and firm. “You can’t disagree.”

Ye Junci was speechless.

She could see it now. Both of them were crazy!

One of them exclaimed that the Gu family was rubbish in her eyes before everyone. The other one dared to carry a gun on Jijing Island’s territory and now…

…

Meanwhile, at the Gu manor.

Huo Zhi rubbed an ink stick on an ink slab while standing. The butler took away a piece of writing that Old Master Gu had just written and pressed a paperweight on it.

At this moment, Old Master Gu was just like any ordinary old man who was practicing calligraphy with the younger generations and his subordinates. “Have you met Gu Mang?”

Huo Zhi stopped rubbing the ink stick before quickly resuming. “I have.”

“I didn’t expect her to be willing to see you.” He had sent someone to invite Gu Mang back. This granddaughter of hers was really capable. She took action against them without saving him any face.

When Huo Zhi heard this, he laughed. “I went to the entrance of the hotel to pick her up. She beat up my men and refused to see me as well.

The bald man had been quite traumatized by Gu Mang. When Gu Mang threw him a look, he dared not move.

Old Master Gu turned and looked at him for a while. “I heard that she has been staying at Lu Chengzhou’s place lately. Are you just going to watch it happen?”

Huo Zhi circled the ink stick around the ink slab.

Old Master Gu laughed and looked away. He wrote the word ‘Marriage’ in thick black characters.

Then, he put down his brush. “I’m not writing anymore.”

Huo Zhi looked at the calligraphy paper firmly.

Old Master Gu put his hands behind his back and walked towards the sofa. “Her identity is no longer a secret on Jijing Island. There is no way that she can break free from her status as a young lady of the Gu family. So, sometimes, you can’t just sit back and watch as things unfold.”

Huo Zhi put down the ink stick and followed him. “What if Gu Mang returns to the capital right after the competition ends?”

“That is only if she manages to return,” Old Master Gu answered calmly but there was more to what he said.

Huo Zhi looked up. “Are our men able to stop her?”

“If we aren’t, there are always alternatives.” Old Master Gu sat down and took the teacup served by the butler.

Huo Zhi looked at him and his black pupils narrowed a little.

Old Master Gu smiled and said in an unhurried tone, “Since she has already come to Jijing Island, it won’t be easy for her to leave.”

…

At 6pm.

Lu Chengzhou, He Yidu, and Qin Fang returned to the hotel. Gu Mang was gaming with Qin Yaozhi.

The debate competition was to officially begin on the next day. Qin Yaozhi turned and waved at the three of them.

Lu Chengzhou stuck one hand in his pocket and walked over to Gu Mang. He sat beside her and asked gently, “Have you eaten?”

As Gu Mang looked up, she killed someone in the game. “Nope. What about all of you?”

“Not yet.” With that, he lifted his chin at Lu Yī.

Lu Yī turned around and called the hotel staff to bring them dinner.

Turning back around, Lu Chengzhou was just about to tell Gu Mang something when his phone rang.

He looked down and glanced at his phone screen. It was a call from Lu Zhan.

He picked up the phone and walked slightly away from Gu Mang before accepting the call.

When he put the phone up to his ear, he heard Lu Zhan’s voice immediately. “Come back to the capital with Grandma ASAP. Your granny just got admitted to the emergency room… She might…”

Lu Chengzhou tightened his grip around his phone.

“Yu Zhongjing has tried all he can.” Lu Zhan’s tone was solemn. “Come quick.”
