Chapter 847: Lu Chengzhou’s First Words After Waking Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Huo Zhi heard how Qin Fang addressed Gu Mang, his gaze dimmed.
He Yidu followed Qin Fang into the lounge. Upon seeing the black backpack on the sofa, he pondered.
This private jet was flying back to Jijing Island. He believed that Gu Mang was not someone who could be forced into doing something. Based on her temper, anyone who provoked her into doing something she did not want to would be seeking death.
But here she was, on the private jet that was heading to Jijing Island…
And Gu Si…
Lu Jiu said that it was Brother Cheng who had asked him to send Gu Si to the capital airport. However, the moment Gu Si arrived at the capital, he ditched his minders and met up with Gu Mang.
Judging by the current situation, he was unsure whether the information Lu Jiu had received was the same as Brother Cheng’s instructions.
Most importantly…
He Yidu glanced at Gu Mang. Did she want to bring Gu Si back to Jijing Island?
What about Brother Cheng?
Qin Fang took two steps towards Gu Mang. “Sister-in-law, did you ask Brother Cheng to wait for you at the apartment near Capital University?”
Gu Mang sat still without looking up. “He is there.”
Looking at Gu Mang, He Yidu hesitated before asking, “Sister Mang, are you going back to Jijing Island?”
“Mm,” Gu Mang responded.
Hearing this, Qin Fang was slightly caught off guard,
He looked at Gu Mang, then Gu Si, who was standing beside her. The situation was rather confusing. “Did Brother Cheng agree to this?”
“You will know when you go to the apartment and ask him.” It seemed like Gu Mang did not want to continue talking about this. She looked down. “Help me look after him. Thank you.”
Qin Fang frowned in confusion.
Although the Lu family had issued an arrest warrant, what could they do to her even if Brother Cheng was not protecting her?
Did she really have to go into hiding on Jijing Island? She even asked them to look after Brother Cheng?
He Yidu glanced at Gu Mang. Without saying much, he nodded. “Okay, we’ll be going ahead, then.”
Qin Fang cursed and looked at He Yidu. “He, you…”
If Gu Mang returned to Jijing Island, Brother Cheng would surely go berserk!
“Let’s go.” He Yidu lifted his chin in the direction of the door, turned around, and left the lounge.
Lu Jiu did not say much. He bowed to Gu Si and Gu Mang respectfully before following He Yidu.
“Hey!” Watching He Yidu walk away, Qin Fang stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do. In the end, he glanced at Gu Mang and followed He Yidu out.
Huo Zhi was still sitting in the front cabin, holding a cup of coffee. As Qin Fang passed, Huo Zhi said casually, “I won’t be seeing you out.”
Seeing how annoying he was, Qin Fang wanted to pick a fight at that moment but suppressed his urge.
…
After deboarding the plane, Qin Fang took big strides towards He Yidu. “What’s with you? How are we going to explain ourselves to Brother Cheng when he finds out that Gu Mang has gone to Jijing Island?”
“Let’s go to the apartment first. I don’t think Brother Cheng is in a good state,” He Yidu said with careful deliberation.
Gu Mang leaving so easily could only mean Brother Cheng was…
Even if Gu Mang were not in the medical field, she could easily neutralize Brother Cheng. After all, he let his guard down in front of Gu Mang.
Qin Fang had also understood what was going on. He opened his mouth in disbelief. “Impossible…”
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Jiu’s phone rang.
It was a call from Lu Yī.
…
The group arrived at the apartment.
Lu Yī, Lu Qi, and two doctors were standing to the side.
Lu Chengzhou was lying on the sofa, unconscious.
He Yidu looked at Lu Yī. “What happened?”
Lu Yī lowered his head slightly. “The doctor just checked. Young Master Lu was given a numbing neurotoxin.”
It was obvious who had done it.
Qin Fang slapped the back of his head. After a while, he shook his head and muttered, “Impressive! These two big bosses are really trying to destroy each other!”
He Yidu glanced at Qin Fang. Then, he turned towards the doctor. “How long will it take for him to wake up?”
The doctor answered respectfully, “We have already injected the antidote into his body. It seems whoever poisoned him left the antidote for us to use. He should wake up soon.”
As the doctor spoke, he glanced at Lu Chengzhou.
The toxin only numbed the body. It did not affect one’s consciousness. If he did not wake up soon, they wouldn’t know what to do.
Just then, Lu Qi noticed Lu Chengzhou’s fingers moving. He quickly said, “Young Master Lu is awake!”
Everyone’s attention shifted to him.
Lu Chengzhou slowly opened his eyes.
The apartment was filled with people who were all staring at him.
Frowning, Lu Chengzhou shot them a sharp and annoyed gaze. “Do you guys not have enough work to do? Why are all of you staring at me?”
He sat up. When he saw that he was still wearing a bathrobe, his eyes narrowed.
Qin Fang, He Yidu, Lu Yī, and the rest were prepared to hear Lu Chengzhou ask about Gu Mang’s whereabouts the moment he was awake.
They had not expected him to react this way.
Qin Fang asked nervously, “Brother Cheng, are you okay?”
“How could I possibly not be okay?” Lu Chengzhou looked up, his gaze merciless and cold.
His gaze was rather terrifying. Qin Fang laughed awkwardly. “As long as you are okay, as long as you are okay…”
Seeing this, He Yidu remained silent as he thought about what was going on.
The others also did not dare to speak as they pleased.
Lu Chengzhou rubbed his temples. “How are the preparations for Granny Lu’s funeral going?”
Lu Yī replied, “We’ve informed the families in the capital and the country leaders who had good relationships with Old Madam. The funeral will take place in five days.”
“Activate more manpower on the day of the funeral,” Lu Chengzhou instructed.
Lu Yī answered, “Yes.”
They were going to announce the will on that day, so they had to prevent people from causing a ruckus.
After pressing his temples for a while, Lu Chengzhou got up and looked at Qin Fang and He Yidu. “What are you guys doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? There is only one room in this apartment.”
The corner of Qin Fang’s lips twitched. In the past, the three of them used to go everywhere together. Ever since Gu Mang had entered his life, Brother Cheng spent most of his time with her and only hung out with them to settle official business.
Seeing him return to his old self after such a long time felt strange.
Qin Fang did not know what to say, so he just went along with what Brother Cheng said. “We’ll leave and go back to our homes to sleep now.”
Ignoring them, Lu Chengzhou walked straight to the bedroom. “I’m going to change. I’ll be heading back to the Lu residence later.”
Lu Yī answered, “Yes.”
Everyone watched as Lu Chengzhou picked up the clothes lying on the sofa and entered the bedroom.
Once the bedroom door closed…
Qin Fang could not hold it any longer. He said in an extremely soft voice, “What the actual f*ck! Do you guys know what is going on?”
He Yidu shook his head. This was his first time being so shocked.
Qin Fang looked at the doctor. “Other than the neurotoxin, there was nothing else?”
The doctor said, “We will only know once we do a detailed check-up..”
Qin Fang was speechless.
Who would dare to ask him to do a detailed check-up?
Suddenly, Qin Fang had an epiphany. His eyes widened. Then, he felt that this thought of his was too ridiculous. He stared at the bedroom in a daze.
“Old He, is it possible that Brother Cheng has forgotten about Gu Mang?” He sounded uncertain.
He Yidu was speechless.
Qin Fang had just blurted out a new theory, so everyone turned their heads stiffly and looked at him.
…
In the bedroom.
Lu Chengzhou tossed his clothes on the bed and walked towards the bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, he tugged at the collar of the bathrobe and looked at the tooth mark tattoo on his collarbone. He lifted his hand and touched it.
His skin was still slightly red. He could feel some subtle pain when his fingertips brushed across it. The tattoo looked very real. Those who did not know any better would think that it was a real bite mark.
