Chapter 831: The Truth Is Out!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As Song Xian was getting on in years, he had much difficulty bending down to sit next to Gu Mang due to his bad waist. He looked at her with rare gentleness on his usually aloof face. “What’s wrong? What’s with that pitiful look?”

During her time with the Criminal Division it was hard for her to blend in with her other colleagues due to her young age and aloof personality. Plus, she was always wearing a mask when interacting with them.

Once, she single-handedly lifted a two-hundred-pound man and threw him to the ground when he tried causing trouble in the autopsy room. It was from then on that everyone in the Criminal Division dared not get close to her.

Only Song Xian, her master, could hold a conversation or two with her.

Having gotten used to seeing Gu Mang’s indifferent and arrogant appearance, Song Xian felt terrible seeing her in such a pitiful state.

“Why are you still smoking? Didn’t I tell you that it’s bad for your health?” He snatched the cigarette from her hand, threw it to the ground, and snuffed it out with his foot before taking a sweet out from his pocket and giving it to her. “Here. Eat this.”

Gu Mang stared blankly at the candy in his hand for several seconds before taking it from him. She unwrapped its wrapper and shoved it into her mouth.

It was a hard fruit candy.

She impatiently bit it into pieces, swallowed it all, and then returned to her despondent state. However, something was a little different this time around.

Slowly, her mood turned violent, irritable, and destructive. The cold and murderous look on her face almost made Song Xian think that she could kill someone right there and then.

Not to mention other things, what happened to Meng Jinyang and her parents alone could almost drive someone crazy. Did something serious happen? In a half-joking manner, he tried alleviating her mood. “What’s wrong? Did Lu Chengzhou bully you? If he did, tell me and I’ll help you skin him alive!”

Desolation was written all over Gu Mang’s face. It took about a minute before she finally asked, “Master, did Lu Chengzhou tell you about my physical condition?”

Song Xian froze at that. He was not expecting Gu Mang to ask him this question, nor he did he know how to answer her.

Lu Chengzhou had told him at least five times not to tell her about the Blood Institute, which showed the seriousness of this matter. He only came to know what it was about when he entered the Blood Institute.

The top hematologists from the ten biggest provinces, the hematology team from Red Scorpion’s medical department, as well as a few other foreign experts whom he had never heard of joined the Blood Institute on the same day he did. This was not even including the two academicians who had just returned from the medical organization and specialized in blood diseases.

Currently, the Blood Institute was full of world-class experts who specialized in blood and genetic diseases.

Gu Mang knew what the answer was already just by Song Xian’s silence.

It was rare for the Criminal Division to work with the Blood Institute, but Song Xian was practically living at the Blood Institute now. It meant that Lu Chengzhou had long found out about her condition.

That reminds me… It was only after I asked him to help me pass the medicine to Gu Si that he offered Shadow League a sky-high price to locate the Miracle Doctor. I didn’t suspect anything because he had been looking for the Miracle Doctor the entire time. So he knew from then that I needed the medicine… It’s for my sake that he’s been looking for the Miracle Doctor… The candy wrapper crinkled sharply as she clenched her fist.

How did he recognize Jijing Island’s medicine though? The Blood Institute requires my blood in order to carry out this research, but he’s never taken me there to have my blood drawn. Her thoughts were a mess, but upon recalling something, she took her phone out of her pocket and made a call to Gu Si.

It was past 5 AM on Mingyu Island.

Gu Si had just gotten up and was about to pack his belongings for team training when his bulky cell phone vibrated. He put down his camouflage backpack and walked over to the bed. When he saw that it was his sister calling, he excitedly picked up the call. “Sis! You—”

“Did Lu Chengzhou ever draw your blood?” Before he could even finish his piece, he heard Gu Mang’s deep and husky voice.

“Huh?” Despite his momentary confusion, he answered his sister’s question. “No. Why would he do that? As you know, our blood is rather special…”

Gu Si was still excitedly rambling on, but Gu Mang was not in the mood to listen to what he had to say. When he was just about to ask her why she suddenly asked him that, the call suddenly disconnected.

“Hello? Hello?” Gu Si knitted his eyebrows together in confusion. He wanted to call his sister back but was afraid that she might be busy at the moment.

Since it’s currently morning on Jijing Island, she’s probably at the competition now. After giving it some thought, he decided to call Lu Chengzhou instead.
