Chapter 556 I won't save Fu Yunchuan, nor can I (Page 12)
From the moment Gu Yihe saw Nanxing, he noticed that Nanxing's complexion was very bad, and she seemed even more indifferent than before.
And those slightly swollen lips... He remembered that Fu Yunchuan had also returned to the Fu family, so something must have happened between the two of them.
Or did Nanxing notice anything amiss with Fu Yunchuan's body?
After taking the pulses of all the patients, Nanxing's thoughts gradually returned to normal.
When she turned around, she saw Gu Yihe's puzzled and worried eyes, and he seemed to want to say something but couldn't.
"Mr. Gu, is there anything else?" Nanxing asked directly.
Gu Yihe's gaze was too strange, so she had no choice but to ask. Especially since Gu Yihe's complexion didn't seem good either, as if he hadn't slept well for several days, with obvious dark circles under his eyes and a very tired look in his eyes.
Seeing Gu Yihe like this, Nanxing suddenly thought of Fu Yunchuan.
Fu Yunchuan's expression at that time, and the yellowish tinge in the whites of his eyes.
Something immediately popped into her head.
"Mr. Gu, who is that friend you mentioned on the phone who was in serious condition? Is he here now?"
She looked at Gu Yihe and asked, her heart tightening involuntarily.
Gu Yihe was still thinking about how to tell Nanxing when he suddenly heard her ask him about it, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
"Why did you suddenly ask that?" he asked Nanxing with a smile.
"I'm just suddenly very curious about how that person's body could change like this in just two days. Although I can't save him, I can still take a look. Maybe it will help with the research on this disease."
Nanxing's tone was very easygoing and calm, as if he were just asking casually.
In fact, she was just asking casually. She thought it was impossible for it to be such a coincidence that it really was Fu Yunchuan. She was probably overthinking it.
"Really?" Gu Yihe's tone seemed somewhat regretful. "Then wait a little longer. I'll bring him to you in a couple of days so you can study him properly."
Now we just need to wait for Lu Mingzhu to take the bait. There's only a little time left, and we can't let it all go to waste, otherwise all the suffering Fu Yunchuan has endured these past two days will have been for nothing.
Nanxing completely dispelled her suspicions when she saw that Gu Yihe didn't mention Fu Yunchuan at all. If the friend Gu Yihe was talking about really was Fu Yunchuan, how could Gu Yihe be so calm now?
"Start giving this medicine to the patients tonight. Remember to be extremely careful with the data this time, because this is related to the final antidote."
Nanxing handed a prescription to Gu Yihe with a serious expression.
Gu Yihe took the prescription subconsciously, but only when he held it in his hand did he suddenly realize what Nanxing had just said.
"You're saying this is about the final cure? What do you mean by that? Have you already developed a cure for this disease?"
His tone was somewhat incredulous, yet also tinged with anticipation and excitement.
If a suitable antidote were found, then there would be no need to worry about Fu Yunchuan, and even less about those people in the Bai family operating in secret.
"That's it."
"Consider it? What does 'consider it' mean? And what does 'consider it' mean?" Gu Yihe asked eagerly.
"Because my prescription can treat patients like these, but if it's someone like Lu Mingzhu or someone more seriously ill, then there's nothing I can do."
Gu Yihe's expression changed from anxious to frowning, then to irritable and worried.
Nanxing saw his changing expressions clearly, but she didn't ask any more questions. If needed, Gu Yihe would naturally ask her.
As for Fu Yunchuan, she felt that she was just out of her mind, and that she actually thought there was something wrong with Fu Yunchuan.
If something happened to Fu Yunchuan, how could Gu Yihe be so calm?
"In short, you need to write down this data for me today. As long as you write down this data, I can give you a prescription in two days. If there are patients like this again, you can treat them according to the prescription."
"Don't even think about Lu Mingzhu. I can't save her and I never will. This prescription is completely useless to her."
Gu Yihe calmed down a bit. "We won't get involved with Lu Mingzhu. I won't go back on my word."
"Furthermore, Lu Mingzhu's identity is not simple. Yun Chuan was also deceived by her. Right now, he still needs to use Lu Mingzhu to find out some things, so he is not touching Lu Mingzhu."
“Apart from this, Yun Chuan will not treat Lu Mingzhu differently or with any special consideration. Nan Xing, you are so smart, you should be able to see clearly Yun Chuan’s attitude towards Lu Mingzhu during this period, otherwise how could Lu Mingzhu have ended up like this?”
Nan Xing's expression turned slightly cold. Gu Yihe glanced at her but chose to continue speaking.
“If Yun Chuan wants to protect Lu Mingzhu, there are plenty of ways. Your Yun family could never have gone this far with Lu Mingzhu. I know what I’m saying will upset you, but it’s the truth.”
"Really? Then I'm actually quite looking forward to it. I really want to see what I'll be like if Fu Yunchuan tries to protect Lu Mingzhu."
Nanxing remained calm, unaffected by Gu Yihe's words.
Gu Yihe originally intended to speak up for Fu Yunchuan, since Fu Yunchuan's body was in such a state, and if Nanxing continued to treat Fu Yunchuan with the same indifference and did not save him, only death awaited Fu Yunchuan.
However, he did not expect Nanxing to give such an answer. He was a little surprised, but not angry, and did not even feel that anything was wrong.
Gu Yihe escorted Nanxing downstairs, and in the elevator, he asked Nanxing a question.
"How long can Lu Mingzhu live in her current condition?"
Nanxing had actually been thinking about what Gu Yihe had just said. She answered Gu Yihe calmly and composedly, but in reality, she was also pondering the meaning of those words. Now that she suddenly heard Gu Yihe mention Lu Mingzhu again, she simply asked him directly.
"At most two months, but she went out today. I haven't been able to see her in person yet, so I can't be sure. Based on my expectations, she should be receiving treatment in the hospital at this time."
Gu Yihe nodded thoughtfully. Two months is enough.
"So, what do you mean by using Lu Mingzhu? As far as I know, Lu Mingzhu went directly to Lu's Group. Why didn't she go to Fu Yunchuan? And now, why is Fu Yunchuan ignoring her? Is he really ignoring her or is he just pretending?"
Nanxing looked at Gu Yihe and asked a question that surprised Gu Yihe.
"So, you believe what I said?"
"No, I'm just curious. You can choose not to tell me, but I'll find out when the time comes."
Even if she were very curious, she would never admit it.
Gu Yihe knew that Nanxing was being stubborn, but he also knew that he had to answer Nanxing honestly. Right now, they were begging Nanxing to listen to them.
"Because Fu Yunchuan discovered that Lu Mingzhu had been deceiving him for many years and also discovered Lu Mingzhu's true colors, he stopped caring about Lu Mingzhu. But that's not why he likes you. He only realized his feelings for you when you had that accident six years ago."
“In these six years, I admit that he was too indulgent towards Lu Mingzhu, but that was not liking, much less love. The only person he cared about, liked, and loved from beginning to end was you.”
"Lu Mingzhu is probably going to Lu's Group because her company can't hold on any longer. She will also go to see Fu Yunchuan, probably in the next day or even today. She can't wait any longer."
"Nanxing, that's all I can say, and I guarantee it's all the truth. I'll leave the rest to Yunchuan to explain to you."
Nanxing didn't answer Gu Yihe's question immediately. Listening to what Gu Yihe had just said, she thought of what Fu Yunchuan had said earlier.
The two of them seemed to have similar stories, but that didn't mean she would believe them.
Gu Yihe didn't know if Nan Xingxiang believed what he said, but he said everything he could to explain.
He figured Nanxing wasn't stupid, and she must have been able to glean something from the fact that Fu Yunchuan hadn't interfered much with Lu Mingzhu's affairs these past few days; otherwise, she wouldn't have listened to him so quietly.
In the past, Nanxing would have interrupted him with a cold face as soon as he mentioned Fu Yunchuan's name, but now at least he can be allowed to finish speaking.
As they walked into the underground parking garage, Nanxing and Gu Yihe's phones rang at the same time.
Nanxing took out her phone and saw that it was Mubao, so she assumed that the children wanted to go home.
She didn't answer her phone immediately, but looked at Gu Yihe, who was also taking out his phone to answer, and said...
"Mr. Gu, I don't do business at a loss. I won't charge you for seeing these patients, but the prescriptions will be charged. You'll have to pay me then."
Gu Yihe was taken aback by her candor before nodding with a light laugh.
"Of course, I'll definitely pay you then. How could I let you do a losing business? I already felt bad enough for you when you almost got into danger on the mountain while searching for that herb, how could I not pay you?"
"However, the herb you are looking for is indeed very hard to find. It is not found in ordinary places, and many people think it is a weed."
When Nanxing heard Gu Yihe mention the incident on the mountain, he also thought of the look in Fu Yunchuan's eyes when he found him that day.
It was as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from their shoulders, a look of relief and joy at having regained what they had lost.
She was slightly dazed, but the ringing of her phone in her hand pulled her back to reality.
She clenched her fists and nodded to Gu Yihe.
"Then I'll go first."
She answered the phone as she walked.
Gu Yihe watched her leave as she walked away, and at the same time, he prepared to answer the phone; it was Jiang Bai calling.
He didn't think much of it when he answered the phone, assuming it was just Jiang Bai who had something to say, until Jiang Bai's urgent voice rang out.
Nanxing stopped in her tracks, her face showing more anxiety and worry.
"You're in the hospital? What are you doing in the hospital? Aren't you at home with your great-grandmother and grandmother?"
"How did you end up in the hospital? I'm coming right now."
The two voices rang out almost simultaneously. Nanxing turned around and met Gu Yihe's gaze.
"Jiang Bai said Yun Chuan is unconscious and has been taken to the hospital." Gu Yihe hung up the phone and walked towards Nanxing.
“My child called me and said they were also at the hospital.” Nanxing frowned, her voice somewhat hoarse.
"Let's go together."
"Row."
Nanxing got into the car with Gu Yihe. She sat in the passenger seat while Gu Yihe drove.
From the moment he got into the car—no, it should be said from the moment Gu Yihe received Jiang Bai's call—his expression remained tense, and now his hands gripping the steering wheel were even more taut from excessive force.
Nanxing thought of what Mu Bao had said on the phone earlier.
"Mommy, Fu Yunchuan has been admitted to the hospital in a deep coma. We're currently at the hospital with Great-Grandma and Grandma."
She gripped the phone tightly in her hand, her palm becoming damp with sweat.
This happened so suddenly that she was completely bewildered.
"Gu Yihe, is that friend you mentioned whose health deteriorated to the same level as Gu Yihe's within two days, Fu Yunchuan?"
Gu Yihe's palms tightened, and after a few seconds he managed to force out a single "hmm" from his throat.
At this point, there was no longer any need to hide it from Nanxing.
They originally thought Fu Yunchuan's health wasn't that bad, and that he could still get everything he needed to do these next few days, but now a phone call has almost completely disrupted all their plans.
If something really happens to Fu Yunchuan, the cost of this plan's success will be too high.
Nanxing's heart trembled. She gripped her phone tightly, feeling that she should be relieved or happy, since Fu Yunchuan had finally gotten his comeuppance.
