Gu Mang maneuvered the needles carefully while keeping time.
Then, one after the other, Gu Mang used twelve needles to let blood travel through the twelve primary Qi channels.
Upon seeing that Gu Mang was letting blood, Lu Xiwei’s face darkened and she rushed forward hastily. “What are you doing?!”
Lu Chengzhou turned his face and threw her a cold, sharp look.
Lu Xiwei stood rooted in her position immediately.
Pursing her lips, she protested indignantly, “Third Brother! Granny had a stroke! What use is bloodletting?!”
“When did you get the idea that I’m a patient person?” Lu Chengzhou drawled softly, his lips curling into a fierce snarl.
The atmosphere in the room cooled considerably.
Lu Chengzhou met Lu Chengzhou’s pitch black eyes. Rage rose in her and she was unable to catch her breath.
Lu Xiwei’z face was red as she summoned her courage and said, “Third Brother! You’re gambling with Granny’s life! I cannot allow this quack to behave so atrociously in our house!”
She took great strides forward and reached out, intending to shove Gu Mang away.
However, before she could touch Gu Mang, her wrist was gripped by a cold, pale, thin hand as it hovered in the air.
The young woman raised her cool, clear eyes. The corner of her eyes were slightly bloodshot and her cocked eyebrows looked wild and unruly as she squeezed the wrist slowly.
Lu Xiwei knitted her brows as she felt the slight pain. “Let go of me!”
“I didn’t throw you out so that you could observe me cure your grandmother, not so you could disrupt me. Understood?” Gu Mang said in a mincing and unhurried manner.
Lu Xiwei glared at her. “Your treatment has no scientific basis. Can you afford to pay the damages if you cause my grandma’s condition to worsen?”
“Like I’ve said, I will heal her pletely.” Gu Mang swept a glance over at Lu Xiwei, her patience eroding. Her voice sounded dangerous as she said softly, “Don’t disturb me again.”
With that, she flung Lu Xiwei’s hands away.
Her extremely attractive eyes were ice-cold as they glared daggers that could make one’s hair stand on end.
“You!” Lu Xiwei could not believe that she had just been scared of such a woman, and her words caught in her throat.
The butler pulled her aside hurriedly. “Ms. Xiwei, we should observe how the young lady goes about her treatment first.”
Gu Mang continued.
The blood-letting ended.
She moved the needles to hegu [1. dorsum of the hand] and taichong [2. dorsum of the foot].
Lu Xiwei looked furious. She swept a glance towards everyone watching, sneered icily, and turned to dash out of the room.
She could not touch this woman because Third Brother was in the room.
If Granny did not wake up after an hour, this woman better not think of leaving the capital alive!
Upon Lu Xiwei’s exit, her relatives all crowded around her.
Ten or so mouths inquired about grandmother’s illness.
She told them of the situation inside.
“That’s absurd!” snarled the fourth son of the Lu Family. His brows were knitted tightly as he turned to go inside the house. “I’ll go and check up on it.”
“Fourth Uncle.” Lu Xiwei tugged at him and pursed her lips helplessly. “Third Brother insists on letting that woman treat Granny, so there’s no use for us to go inside now.”
Lu Ruoshui sneered coldly. “Sure, since the treatment is going on inside, let’s just wait out here. If anything happens to Mom, I want to see how the main family justifies it to the entire family.”
Upon hearing this, everyone present started to harbor sinister motives.
If Lu Chengzhou failed, the main family wouldn’t be able to pass the blame.
…
Half an hour later.
The butler brought Gu Mang and Lu Shangjin out of grandmother’s room.
Upon her exit, Gu Mang saw a police officer standing outside and narrowed her eyes.
So they wanted to arrest her?
