Chapter 620: Can So Many Parasites Survive In a Person’s Body?
After Zi Yi and Lu Jingye came out of the yard, they took the left side of the path.
On the way, Lu Jingye said, “Father had sealed the entire place when he was here. However, the news still spread out. My people can only control the internet and stop this matter from spreading out via that channel, but I think that those who ought to know should have known already.
Everyone did not expect the culprit to be the housekeeper. Father said that when Grandfather lost consciousness, the housekeeper left with the other helpers. He should have leaked the information out then.”
Zi Yi looked at his cold expression and pulled his hand and asked, “What are you worried about?”
Lu Jingye noticed that her hand was slightly chilly and so, he held her hand tightly. “There will be many people coming over early in the morning to check up on my Grandfather’s condition. Father and Eldest Uncle have to make preparations tonight. Before we remove the parasite from Grandfather, we can only conceal this matter.”
Zi Yi responded with a nod and asked, “Will Third Uncle be coming back?”
“He should be arriving at around 4 a.m in the morning.”
Zi Yi nodded her head once again.
The two of them hastened their footsteps and arrived at where the housekeeper was caught.
It was in the woods near the backyard.
There were many Lu Family’s guards stationed there. Eldest Master Lu and Second Master Lu were currently standing two meters away from the housekeeper’s corpse. They were currently in a discussion and their expression looked serious.
When Zi Yi and Lu Jingye made their way over, the two of them stopped talking.
“Eldest Uncle, Father.”
Eldest Master Lu only sent Lu Zhiheng into the car and he had a.s.signed a bodyguard to send the other three to the hospital.
He turned to look at Zi Yi and asked, “Do you have a way to find any clues from his body?”
Zi Yi took out her hand from Lu Jingye’s grip and walked a meter away from the housekeeper’s corpse. She looked at his complexion and asked, “Did he say anything or do anything when you captured him?”
Lu Jianlin answered, “His expression seemed strange, and he did not say anything. When we found him, he had directly consumed the poison and committed suicide.”
“Did you see him consume the poison? Or check the back of his mouth?”
“Yes. His mouth is full of blood…”
Zi Yi furrowed her eyebrows and continued asking, “Who was the one who checked?”
Lu Jianlin said, “I got one of your robots to check.”
Zi Yi breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to the air. “Who checked the corpse?”
Shadow II appeared out of thin air.
“Master, it’s me.”
“What did you manage to find?”
“There are worms in the back of his mouth. One of them tried to climb over to my body while I was checking his corpse but I crushed it.”
What Shadow II said sounded funny and it should have made them laugh. However, everyone’s expression changed at this moment.
Eldest Master Lu felt lingering fear. “Fortunately we did not approach him.”
Zi Yi thought about it and said to Shadow II, “There should be other worms in his mouth. Dig them out and store them.”
“Yes.”
Shadow II made its way over and took out a special bottle from its body. It then squatted down and opened the housekeeper’s mouth with one hand as his other hand placed the bottle near his mouth. Sure enough, a few worms climbed out.
When the robot used its hand to sc.r.a.pe the housekeeper’s mouth, all the worms entered the bottle.
“There are so many worms in the housekeeper’s mouth!”
Lu Jingye asked Zi Yi, “Can so many parasites survive in a person’s body?”
Wasn’t it said that parasites were unable to be put together?
Zi Yi was also surprised. “For the housekeeper to have so many parasites in his body, by right something should have already happened to him. However, he was living well and so there must be a reason behind this.”
As soon as Zi Yi said that, she was about to step forward to check the situation.
Lu Jingye grabbed her hand and stopped her. “His corpse is dangerous. Don’t go too close.”
Zi Yi thought about it and said, “I wish to take this corpse back to research.”
Before Lu Jingye spoke up, Lu Jianlin said, “Can you guarantee that the corpse would not hurt you?”
“Yes, I have special protective clothing.”
“Alright then.”
Lu Jianlin agreed to it. Eldest Master Lu wanted to say something, but gave up in the end.
Zi Yi got Shadow II to bring the corpse back.
Only then did Eldest Master Lu ask, “What’s going on exactly? There must be something you’re hiding from me, isn’t it?”
The three of them turned to look at him. Zi Yi and Lu Jingye did not speak.
Lu Jianlin said after careful consideration, “Let’s return to Father’s room first. Third Brother is rus.h.i.+ng back right now. We’ll discuss what to do for tomorrow morning first.”
The group returned to Patriarch Lu’s room.
When the Third Madam and Doctor He saw their return, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The Third Madam asked, “Big Brother, Second Brother, what should we do now?”
Lu Jianlin said, “You should return to your room to take a rest first. Third Brother and Little Ming will be back in the morning.”
The Third Madam unconsciously relaxed. When she heard that her husband and son were about to return, she instantly felt more confident.
She nodded her head and took her leave.
Eldest Master Lu looked at Doctor He.
He tactfully said, “Then I’ll return and take a rest too. You can call me if you need my help.”
Doctor He left after he said that.
After the door was closed, Eldest Master Lu asked with a stern expression, “What exactly is going on?”
Lu Jianlin told him about the matter concisely.
After Eldest Master Lu heard the story, his expression was extremely dark.
“Someone is trying to bring down our Lu Family?”
Having said that, he paced back and forth anxiously. Seemingly having thought of something, he stopped to say something. “The housekeeper feels indebted to Father and even if he was inflicted with the parasite, he would not harm Father. There must be some other reason behind this.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Zi Yi. “Little Zi, are you really able to cure Yunxiao?”
Even though Zi Yi disliked him, on Lu Jingye’s account, she answered him. “Yes.”
Eldest Master Lu paced around again before he stopped. “This matter is not so simple. I’ll call and rush Third Brother and get him to come back as soon as possible. We have to discuss this.”
After he said that, he asked Zi Yi, “Are you able to get your robot to imitate Father?”
Zi Yi looked at him for a few seconds and said in all seriousness, “As long as you can tell me his characteristics, my robot will be able to imitate him.”
Eldest Master Lu looked at Zi Yi’s indifferent expression and knew that she was not helping willingly. He felt complicated deep down. In fact, he was also unable to accept the fact that they suddenly needed her help for everything.
However, this was not the time to be emotional. He started to list down Patriarch Lu’s characteristics. Lu Jianlin would also add in some from the side.
The two of them talked for about half an hour. After Zi Yi listened to their description, she summed it up. “On the whole, he’s basically a tyrant. A tyrant that has the old society ruling ideology and is extremely conceited.”
Eldest Master Lu and Lu Jianlin were silent.
Even though they felt that Zi Yi’s words were too straightforward, it was more or less accurate.
