Chapter 28
There’s a Story Behind Seventh Master’s Migraine
“Hmm?” Dr. Gu obviously wasn’t quite ready for Mu Anan’s question.
Mu Anan asked again, “What’s your impression of Zhong Ting?”
Dr. Gu was stunned for a few seconds before he focused his attention on Zhong Ting and tried to formulate his impression of her.
Zhong Ting was about Mu Anan’s age, but slightly older. However, her looks and temperament were completely different from Mu Anan’s.
Zhong Ting looked more mature. She had a natural charm and was very feminine. Her eyes were like a library filled with countless stories and experiences, shrewd and perceptive.
“Very smart, very perceptive.” Dr. Gu gave a four-word evaluation.
Mu Anan nodded. “Auntie Zhong’s husband died a long time ago, and their only home was seized by her mother-in-law. She took her daughter everywhere since she was little, and they were subjected to all kinds of harsh treatments. She later settled down in Yuyuan Estate but because she had to work, she left the care of her daughter to her relatives. Her daughter has been very street smart since young. Compared to ordinary folks, Zhong Ting is much more aware of her surroundings.”
“Do you mean to say that even if Seventh Master’s men found Zhong Ting, she would be smart enough to deal it?” Dr. Gu asked.
Mu Anan nodded affirmatively.
It was precisely because of Zhong Ting’s characteristics that Mu Anan had specifically told Dr. Gu that her smokescreen could only be Zhong Ting.
Even so, Dr. Gu still looked worried.
Mu Anan smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. It’s be alright.”
Dr. Gu glanced at Mu Anan.
Mu Anan was now expressionless as she tidied her hair and clothes calmly.
This surprised Dr. Gu.
Since their conversation had come to this, there was nothing else to discuss.
Mu Anan looked at the time. “I’d better get ready for work now.”
Mu Anan began to put on the ugly face she used as a medical student and intern.
When Dr. Gu saw this, he opened his mouth wanting to say something but didn’t say anything in the end. He packed his things and started to walk out of Mu Anan’s bedroom.
But when he opened the door, Mu Anan suddenly shouted, “Dr. Gu, I have another question.”
Dr. Gu turned his head. “What is it?”
Mu Anan was silent for a few seconds before she said, “How did Seventh Master’s migraine problem come about?”
Dr. Gu’s expression changed.
“I’ve asked the long-time servants of Yuyuan Estate in private. They told me that Seventh Master’s migraine wasn’t something he was born with. Did something happen?”
Mu Anan asked carefully as she watched Dr. Gu’s expression.
Even though Dr. Gu tried his best to control himself, he could not hide the shock on his face when he heard Mu Anan’s words.
“Seventh Master’s migraine is caused by his ill health,” Dr. Gu said. “I think I’ve told you before that Seventh Master isn’t originally from Jianglan City. He came here to recuperate from his poor physique when he was young.”
“Oh, really?” Mu Anan said.
It was obvious that she did not believe him.
“Miss Anan, I should go now. Take it easy and keep your wounds dry.”
Dr. Gu said quickly before he opened the door and left Mu Anan’s room.
His movements were a clear sign of nervousness.
This made Mu Anan even more convinced that her guess was correct.
There was a story behind Seventh Master’s migraine.
However, Mu Anan did not have time to think about it now because time was running out.
If she didn’t pick up her pace, she would be late.
…
Mu Anan took two deep breaths to calm herself down.
After Mu Anan finished putting on her ugly disguise, she went downstairs.
Zong Zhengyu was walking out of the dining room when he saw Mu Anan. He asked with a frown, “Where are you going?”
“To work.” Mu Anan blurted out subconsciously.
Zong Zhengyu’s expression darkened when he heard this. He ordered immediately, “Go back upstairs.”
Mu Anan was confused.
It wasn’t until she felt a slight pain in her right hand that she realized that Seventh Master meant to say that she shouldn’t go to work because of her injuries.
Mu Anan explained immediately, “Seventh Master, I’m interning at a mental hospital. The director has already told us that we are not allowed to interact with patients for the first few days of our internship. It would just be orientation and training. This won’t hinder me.”
Mu Anan waved her right hand. “Look, I’m fine.”
However, Mu Anan’s explanation didn’t ease the tension. Instead, Seventh Master’s expression became even more stern.
He couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on Mu Anan. He took a step forward and carried Mu Anan upstairs with one hand.
Unexpectedly, just as he took the first step, Mu Anan shouted, “Seventh Master, my wounds! Ouch!”
Zong Zhengyu immediately put Mu Anan down.
Just as he was about to check on Mu Anan, she suddenly jumped and escaped from his arms.
Luo Sen happened to walk by so Mu Anan took the car keys from his pocket and waved them at Zong Zhengyu. “Seventh Master, you said it yourself. I must become an excellent doctor. Excellent doctors don’t take leave during their internship. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. Mwah.”
Mu Anan blew him a kiss and rushed out the door. In less than a minute, the sound of a car engine was heard outside.
Zong Zhengyu was furious, but he had a helpless expression.
Yesterday, this girl’s world crumbled.
Today, she was full of vitality. She even defied him like a little fox.
Zong Zhengyu was helpless.
But this was Mu Anan.
No matter how sad she was, she could put it behind her.
Her self-healing ability was very strong.
Zong Zhengyu had been worried the whole night but he could finally relax.
…
Mu Anan’s hand was injured, but it wasn’t a big deal to her.
When she was driving, she was still very skillful.
She arrived at the mental hospital and parked the car in the parking lot next to the hospital.
Although it was called a parking lot, it was actually an empty land.
The suburbs of Jianglan City hadn’t been fully developed. There was empty land nearby the hospital and the hospital simply claimed it as their parking lot.
However, there weren’t many cars.
Mu Anan sent a message to Luo Sen, asking him to come over later and drive the car away.
After all, she was an orphan.
Even if an orphan had a super-rich friend, it was still suspicious for her to zip around in a luxury car like this.
Mu Anan didn’t want to expose herself before she took revenge on the Jiang family.
Mu Anan’s heart ached at the thought of the Jiang family.
Although the culprit, Chen Ke, had surrendered himself to the police, Mu Anan was still certain that her scumbag father, Jiang Zhen, had something to do with the tragedy.
If she guessed correctly, Chen Ke was ordered by Zong Zhengyu to turn himself in.
Otherwise, why would a murderer who had been at large for eight years suddenly turn himself in?
Did he suddenly develop a conscience?
It was totally incongruent with Chen Ke’s perverse style.
If Jiang Zhen had hired someone to murder her mother and grandfather, Chen Ke would never turn himself in. Because once Chen Ke surrendered, he would most likely give up Jiang Zhen. Her scumbag father would never take such a risk.
However, Mu Anan had made up her mind yesterday to investigate all this in secret.
Because…
