Chapter 845: Haven’t You Been Looking For the Miracle Doctor?
Gu Mang walked to the sofa.
“I can’t stop you. You can’t stop me either,” Lu Chengzhou said. “If you can return to Jijing Island, I can go to Jijing Island too. I have my sights set on that darnn island.”
Even if that meant that he had to sacrifice some resources, it was imperative that he get to Jijing Island.
She should have just continued charging ahead and done as her heart pleased. Instead, she chose to expose a weakness for his sake…
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and sat on the coffee table with her legs crossed. She looked rather untamed.
She faced Lu Chengzhou.
Propping her arms on her knees, she twirled the marker which she used to tattoo Lu Chengzhou with between her fingers.
Lu Chengzhou glanced at her hand and narrowed his eyes.
She was still in the mood to twirl the marker?
After staring at him for a while, Gu Mang finally asked very seriously, “Lu Chengzhou, are you so angry at me that you can’t think straight?”
Lu Chengzhou said nothing. Frowning, he looked up only to see her smiling. This caused him to tense up subconsciously. He wondered what she was up to again.
He had always thought that Gu Si had a lot of tricks up his sleeves, that is, until he got a taste of the person in front of him…
“Do you think I will be honest and tell you everything?” Gu Mang chuckled as she spoke.
Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes and did not say anything.
“Haven’t you been looking for the Miracle Doctor?” Gu Mang was twirling the marker even more smoothly now.
Lu Chengzhou could not help but stare at the marker in her hand.
When he heard what she had said, his gaze shifted to her face suddenly. He pursed his lips, instantly understanding what she meant by that.
Her words triggered some of his past memories. When he had gone to Changning County, he did not find the Miracle Doctor. Instead, he met Gu Mang.
At Tian Que, he did not find the Miracle Doctor. Instead, he bumped into Gu Mang. When he had gone to Country K looking for the Miracle Doctor, Gu Mang also happened to be there as well…
Gu Mang was the Miracle Doctor.
The figure with a buzz cut was not a guy, but a girl…
Lu Chengzhou had thought that he had received enough shocks tonight. To his surprise, Gu Mang gave him another surprise.
Staring at her, he said in a deep voice, “You have been watching me look for you all this while?”
Gu Mang cleared her throat and nodded. She asked calmly, “Isn’t it fun?”
Lu Chengzhou was silent.
Gu Mang knew that if Lu Chengzhou could move, he would surely have started a fight with her.
She laughed and lowered her voice, speaking in an extremely casual and light-hearted tone, one that would make him let his guard down. “I’ve done some research on neurology since last time. I am quite skilled at hypnotism.”
Just as she finished speaking, she stopped spinning the marker.
Lu Chengzhou could not help but look at the marker. Something flashed in front of his eyes and a sudden dizziness overwhelmed him.
“You can forget about me for the time being.” Gu Mang’s voice was muffled to his ears.
Only then did Lu Chengzhou realize why Gu Mang was being so candid. She was planning on wiping his memory using her hypnotism.
Struggling to hold onto his last moments of consciousness, he forced out the words, “Just try and make me forget you…”
His vision went dark and his thoughts disintegrated, the fragments entering the void.
…
Gu Mang watched as Lu Chengzhou slumped against the couch and completely lost consciousness.
This was probably the first time Lu Chengzhou had hated someone so passionately.
Gu Mang sat there and stared at his face for a long time. She only snapped out of her daze when her phone buzzed.
She instinctively knew who had sent her the message. Without glancing at the phone, she slipped it into her pocket. She slowly walked to the door but suddenly turned around.
She took out a post-it note from her pocket. With her head lowered, she wrote something down on it before placing it underneath the antidote she left for Lu Chengzhou.
Then, she left the apartment without looking back.
