Chapter 898: I’m Going to Send Medicine to the Young Lady
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Si looked over. “Sis, they’re here to check on you.”
Gu Mang nodded.
Bai Sui glanced at her once. Then he made himself look away.
Gu Mang’s injuries were mainly external and her self-healing mechanism was also shocking. Other than the injury on her right hand, which was more serious, there weren’t any big problems.
The doctors finished their a.s.sessments very quickly.
After making sure that there were no major issues, the hospital director said respectfully, “Young Lady, you can be discharged anytime. We will get the doctors from the hospital to go over to your place whenever you need to change your dressing..”
“There’s no need for that.” Gu Mang looked calm and cold. She picked up a gla.s.s of water and drank from it. “Pa.s.s me the ointment.”
As the director of Top Hospital, he had a strong family background. Of course, he had also heard that Gu Mang was so impressive during the compet.i.tion that even the International Joint Medical a.s.sociation was shocked.
Her medical skills should be pretty good.
Thinking of Gu Mang’s accomplishments, he said, “Alright.”
…
After they were done with the discharging procedures the group left the hospital before noon.
Gu Mang got Bai Qingqing to send Qin Yaozhi back to the hotel with the Capital University team. The rest followed her back to the villa.
After getting in the car, Gu Mang took out her phone and entered the group chat with the five G.o.ds. There was a heated discussion going on.
[Responsive Dragon: I read the information about the killers. It’s not that I am self-deprecating, but they are not much different from us. They are very good at fighting, but they are all sc.u.m and big criminals on the Interpol Wanted List.]
Gu Mang found it odd. They were also a group of people who wandered in the gray area and engaged in guerilla warfare with Interpol. Yet, there was still a distinction between the good and bad even in this gray area.
The killers were simply seeking death.
If they knew that Gu Mang was G.o.d Ji, they would have probably chosen death instead of messing with her.
[Mysterious Crane: No matter how good they are at fighting, that was it. Fifth Sister eliminated the entire team.]
Only Brahma and Responsive Dragon had ever seen G.o.d Ji in person, but n.o.body had ever seen her in action.
This Fifth Broth… no, Fifth Sister of theirs… If the four brothers were less experienced, they would probably not have ranked above her.
They just hadn’t expected Fifth Sister to be from the Gu family of Jijing Island.
The situation on Jijing Island was really chaotic. The four major families were jockeying for power, moving their forces closer to each other and calling on allies for help. It was clear that the highest position on Jijing Island was going to change soon.
In ancient times, it meant the rise of a new dynasty. When a new emperor is crowned, he brings to the court his own favorites and expels those of his predecessor. Wherever the leaders change, a chaotic scene of bloodshed often follows.
Especially so for the Leng family. They had started a feud with G.o.d Ji.
[Flying Serpent: Didn’t you say that Fifth Sister’s injury is rather serious? How is she now? @Responsive Dragon]
[Responsive Dragon: I heard from her brother that her hand is badly injured and that she needed seven st.i.tches for it. Her wrist is also fractured.]
[Flying Serpent: Oh f*ck! Where are the f*cking corpses? Take them here and let me whip them to vent my anger on behalf of Fifth Sister!]
[Mysterious Crane: Bring me along!]
[Brahma: @G.o.d Ji Let us know if you need help.]
Gu Mang didn’t actually have much contact with them, they had similar interests. They would help each other whenever needed. In the past, she had wanted to extend her powers by doing missions and earning money. So, she offended a lot of people and made a lot of enemies.
That was why she was so careful about not revealing her ident.i.ty. Even the four brothers knew very little about her. The previous time, she had gone to help Responsive Dragon because intervention by the other brothers would have created bad blood with Red Flame.
It was hard for her to be stuck in the middle. She looked at how the others were so worried about her.
Gu Mang bit her lip and replied, [Thank you.]
[Responsive Dragon: Fifth Sister, you’re being too polite. How many times have you helped me out? I only lent you some of my men. Your younger brother is really impressive too!]
Half of the Leng family was injured by the hands of a child.
Gu Si was really merciless.
Responsive Dragon felt that the men he provided did not offer much help.
[Flying Serpent: Yeah. Tell us if you need any help.]
Gu Mang did not thank them again. She replied, [@Responsive Dragon, Third Brother, I’ll send you the thing that you told me to help you out with tonight.]
[Responsive Dragon: Oh d.a.m.n!!! Fifth Sister! Are you moved by my love? Do you offer such infinite royal graciousness whenever you are moved?]
[Flying Serpent: ??? What about me? When I told you to help me the previous time, you didn’t. Does love fade?]
[G.o.d Ji: …]
[Responsive Dragon: You know what I call this? You’re too slow to act and you didn’t cozy up to her earlier. Who do you have to blame? @Flying Serpent]
Flying Serpent scolded Responsive Dragon in the group chat like a shrewd person.
[Mysterious Crane: Fifth Sister, are you not partic.i.p.ating in the medical compet.i.tion anymore? @G.o.d Ji]
No one knew what Fifth Sister was thinking. The big boss had actually gone to take part in a compet.i.tion for students. So, he went to read up on the medical compet.i.tion. It was internationally renowned.
Now that the big boss’s hand was injured, she would probably be unable to partic.i.p.ate.
Gu Mang replied, [I am.]
Mysterious Crane looked at her message. He felt that there must be something behind the compet.i.tion that made Gu Mang so determined.
But with big boss’s hand in such bad condition… could she do it?
Gu Mang left the chat room without chatting much with them.
Jiangsu was calling someone while sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat.
He turned his head to look at Gu Mang and Gu Si. “Sister Mang, Little Si, what do you guys wanna have for lunch?”
When they came to Jijing Island, Jiangsui had carefully selected a servant and two chefs to look after their daily household needs.
Gu Si named a few dishes and Gu Mang remained silent, letting Gu Si handle everything.
The dishes that he named were all rather light and they were chosen for Gu Mang as they could aid in her healing.
The servant took down the names that Gu Si had mentioned without needing Jiangsui to repeat them.
Jiangsui asked Bai Sui, who was driving beside him, “What do you wanna eat?”
Bai Sui was a man of few words. He answered in two words. “Anything’s fine.”
Jiangsui nodded.
When they all returned to the villa, the chef had just finished preparing lunch.
It was the first time that Gu Si did not see Huo Zhi at the dining table. His mood was extremely good and he even ate another bowl of rice.
When Gu Mang finished her meal, she went upstairs to do what Responsive Dragon and Flying Serpent wanted.
Bai Sui looked in the direction of the staircase and he withdrew his gaze only when Gu Mang could no longer be seen.
After lunch, Jiangsui and the others had nothing to do so as usual, they began to play games.
Gu Si took out the medicine that his sister had to take from the small medical kit that the hospital had given them. He intended to send it up.
When he took out the painkillers, he hesitated a little. He pondered for a few seconds, then put it back. Even if he brought it up, his sister would not take it.
When he turned around, he saw Bai Sui walking over with a cup of warm water.
“Young Master, I’ll bring the medicine up to Young Lady. Go play with Jiangsui and the others,” he said.
Gu Si looked up slightly and raised his eyebrows. “You’re going to give it to my sister?”
“Yes.” Bai Sui reached out his hand. “Give them to me.”
Gu Si squinted slightly and looked at him closely.
He had checked Bai Sui’s information before. He had a clean history and he was very popular and important in the Bai Family. That was why Bai Sui was specially selected by his grandfather to look after him and his sister.
But Bai Sui gave him an odd feeling. Gu Si didn’t know how to express it. He didn’t think Bai Sui was malicious but it was strange…
Bai Sui’s expression was indifferent and calm. He didn’t seem malicious at all.
They both looked at each other for three seconds then Gu Si pouted. “Alright. Make a cup of honey water for my sister as well. She might be busier in the afternoon.”
There was no point in being so cautious around someone that Grandpa had personally picked.
Bai Sui took the anti-inflammatory pills. “Alright.”
Gu Si watched as Bai Sui entered the kitchen again to grab a thermal flask which Gu Si a.s.sumed had honey water inside it. Then, he went up.
Gu Si looked away.
“Little Si, do you have something against Bai Sui?” Jiangsui asked.
“Nah.” Gu Si shook his head. “I just find him strange.”
Gu Si was always vigilant. Sometimes, it was hard to imagine that someone of such a young age could have such great foresight.
“There’s not gonna be a problem because Elder Bai is the one who selected him,” Jiangsui said firmly. He did not find anything odd about Bai Sui.
If anything, Gu Si was acting strange. He tended to be rather cautious about Sister Mang’s affairs. But that was understandable.
Elder Bai had sent Bai Sui to protect them. If something happened to Gu Mang, Bai Sui would have a hard time reporting it. Of course Gu Si would be nervous.
“I know that there’s no problem with him.” Gu Si lost focus and answered as he logged into his gaming account. Then, he frowned and continued, “Perhaps I just don’t know him well enough yet. It’ll be fine in a few days.”
Jiangsui thought about it and he agreed. After all, Bai Sui was still a stranger to them.
…
In the bedroom.
Gu Mang was sitting in front of the computer, upgrading a system.
Her right hand was in a cast so she typed with only her left hand but that did not slow her down.
She put on a bluetooth earphone and started a voice call with someone.
Someone suddenly knocked on the room door.
Gu Mang’s eyes were still on the computer and she did not stop typing. “Come in.”
