Just as they were preparing to worship Liu Zixuan, Liu Zixuan frowned, "Who came in here last night?"

The nurse beside him was stunned for a moment, "Besides the man and woman outside the door, no one else came in!"

"What's wrong, Zixuan?" Zhou Nian asked, noticing that Liu Zixuan's expression had changed, and he seemed a bit angry!

Liu Zixuan lifted Meng Dongdong's collar and sleeve, "See for yourselves!"

"This!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

There were three or four tiny scars on Meng Dongdong's neck and arm, which had not been there during the physical examination yesterday!

The nurse hurriedly shook her head, "I... it wasn't me!"

Liu Zixuan said in a deep voice, "Big-breasted girl, go check the surveillance footage carefully to see if anyone else came in!"

"Okay!"

"Go get me an alcohol lamp." Liu Zixuan said to the nurse.

"Alcohol lamp? What for?" the nurse asked in surprise.

"Never mind, just go get it!"

Liu Zixuan slowly squatted by the bed, activated his X-ray Vision and looked at the tiny wounds.

Initially, he thought it was just simple minor wounds, but under the X-ray Vision, Liu Zixuan discovered something else!

Around the two tiny wounds on the arm, there were two rice grain-sized bugs, and under the two tiny wounds on the neck, there was one rice grain-sized bug!

These bugs are invisible to the naked eye. If other doctors looked, they would certainly see nothing wrong.

Liu Zixuan was in a dilemma; he wanted to use the alcohol lamp to take the bugs out and examine them because the alcohol lamp's flame differs from ordinary flames and could test what those larvae are, but now he dared not recklessly remove them.

That's right, Liu Zixuan feared they might be Gu worms!

When the nurse handed over the alcohol lamp after fetching it,

Liu Zixuan shook his head, "Set it aside for now. We'll use it later!"

After saying that, he left the ward.

"How is it?" Meng Chen hurried over to ask.

"The bleeding has stopped, but there's a special situation I need to tell you about!"

Seeing Liu Zixuan's serious expression, Meng Chen's face turned even grimmer because Meng Dongdong was already in critical condition, and if there were more danger, it would surely worsen an already dire situation!

"He has four additional tiny wounds on his body."

"Tiny wounds?" Meng Yu questioned suspiciously, "What can that mean?"

"I found rice grain-sized bugs under the wounds. If I'm not mistaken, they are Gu larvae!" Liu Zixuan took a deep breath and asked, "Did the Meng family offend anyone?"

"I…" Meng Chen suddenly became reticent.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. As long as I fulfill my duty, it's fine. Once the blood arrives, I'll perform the surgery on the child, and everything else is none of my concern!"

Liu Zixuan shrugged and smiled.

But upon hearing this, Meng Yu became anxious and tugged at Meng Chen's hand, "Morning Sister, what's really going on, hurry up and tell us, Dongdong is the only bloodline left from Uncle's side, are you really going to just watch him suffer?"

Meng Chen was silent for a while, then looked up at Meng Yu, "I'll tell you, but I hope you won't get angry!"

Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, "It's related to me?"

"Yes."

Liu Zixuan thought to himself, as expected, their trip to Ghost Wood City really was connected to Meng Yu!

Meng Yu shook her head, "It doesn't matter, just tell me, if it weren't for Uncle giving my family money back then, our family of three probably would have starved to death on the streets of Celestial Capital, and I wouldn't be where I am today."

Meng Chen sighed, "As you all know, Celestial Capital has always been a place watched or gathered by various forces of the Star Sea since ancient times. Twenty-five years ago, the Meng family was one of the top families in Celestial Capital."

"After a major reshuffle more than ten years ago, the Meng family became a second-rate family, abandoning Dongdong and Meng Yu's branch just to barely survive in Celestial Capital!"

"The family has always wanted to return to Peak, to rejoin the ranks of top families. Over the years, they've made numerous connections and have paid big costs, collaborating with some families from elsewhere, trying to build their strength!"

Meng Chen paused for a moment here, "But they were too hasty and aggressive. Unbeknownst to them, the allied families harbored ulterior motives. In the first four or five years, it seemed like the Meng family was on the brink of becoming stronger!"

"Yet recently, the hidden troubles finally surfaced. One of the allied families suddenly turned against them, joining the opposition to the Meng family. Because of this, the Meng family's ambition was exposed, and the opposing forces began to oppress the Meng family strongly!"

"So they started targeting the Meng family, and now the Meng family has turned to the abandoned Meng Yu's family?" Liu Zixuan coldly asked.

Meng Chen gave Liu Zixuan a peculiar look but eventually nodded.

"One of the two allied families defected, and the remaining one made a demand, threatening to end the collaboration if the Meng family didn't meet it."

"You're aware that this is a moment of life and death for the Meng family; how could they not fulfill their demand!"

"What was the demand?" Meng Yu asked.

Meng Chen looked at Meng Yu, "It's you. They found out somehow that you were once a part of the Meng family and know you're now a big celebrity and very beautiful. They demanded you become their young master's girlfriend; if you agree, they'll fully support the Meng family against the opposition!"

"Ha." Liu Zixuan sneered, "The Meng family abandoned Meng Yu's family because of family reasons back then, and now seeing they're doing well, they want to exploit them? I think the destruction of the Meng family would be gratifying!"

A flash of anger crossed Meng Chen's face, clearly indicating that Liu Zixuan's words had struck a nerve; however, it was evidently the wrong time to lose her temper.

She continued, "A while ago, when Meng Yu went to Celestial Capital to visit Dongdong, someone in the family saw her, prompting them to have me and Xiao Zhi come and persuade her. It just so happened that Dongdong also needed to come over, so we came to Ghost Wood City, and this unfortunate event occurred midway."

Meng Yu had heard enough to grasp the situation and let out a self-deprecating laugh, "The Meng family's way of handling things is truly laughable! If they knew this would happen, why did they kick us out in the first place?"

"Meng Yu, I'm on your side. I had already decided when I came that you shouldn't agree to their demands!"

"That may be your thinking, but isn't Meng Zhihao thinking differently? According to the family hierarchy, Meng Zhihao and the sleeping Meng Dongdong are both candidates to be future heirs of the Meng family. Surely they want to use Meng Yu to achieve their ambitions?"

Liu Zixuan sneered, "I knew it, your intentions were never pure!"
