Just as they were preparing to worship Liu Zixuan, Liu Zixuan frowned, "Who ca in here last night?"
The nurse beside him was stunned for a mont, "Besides the man and woman outside the door, no one else ca in!"
"What's wrong, Zixuan?" Zhou Nian asked, noticing that Liu Zixuan's expression had changed, and he seed a bit angry!
Liu Zixuan lifted ng Dongdong's collar and sleeve, "See for yourselves!"
"This!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
There were three or four tiny scars on ng Dongdong's neck and arm, which had not been there during the physical examination yesterday!
The nurse hurriedly shook her head, "I... it wasn't !"
Liu Zixuan said in a deep voice, "Big-breasted girl, go check the surveillance footage carefully to see if anyone else ca in!"
"Okay!"
"Go get an alcohol lamp." Liu Zixuan said to the nurse.
"Alcohol lamp? What for?" the nurse asked in surprise.
"Never mind, just go get it!"
Liu Zixuan slowly squatted by the bed, activated his X-ray Vision and looked at the tiny wounds.
Initially, he thought it was just simple minor wounds, but under the X-ray Vision, Liu Zixuan discovered sothing else!
Around the two tiny wounds on the arm, there were two rice grain-sized bugs, and under the two tiny wounds on the neck, there was one rice grain-sized bug!
These bugs are invisible to the naked eye. If other doctors looked, they would certainly see nothing wrong.
Liu Zixuan was in a dilemma; he wanted to use the alcohol lamp to take the bugs out and examine them because the alcohol lamp's fla differs from ordinary flas and could test what those larvae are, but now he dared not recklessly remove them.
That's right, Liu Zixuan feared they might be Gu worms!
When the nurse handed over the alcohol lamp after fetching it,
Liu Zixuan shook his head, "Set it aside for now. We'll use it later!"
After saying that, he left the ward.
"How is it?" ng Chen hurried over to ask.
"The bleeding has stopped, but there's a special situation I need to tell you about!"
Seeing Liu Zixuan's serious expression, ng Chen's face turned even grimr because ng Dongdong was already in critical condition, and if there were more danger, it would surely worsen an already dire situation!
"He has four additional tiny wounds on his body."
"Tiny wounds?" ng Yu questioned suspiciously, "What can that an?"
"I found rice grain-sized bugs under the wounds. If I'm not mistaken, they are Gu larvae!" Liu Zixuan took a deep breath and asked, "Did the ng family offend anyone?"
"I…" ng Chen suddenly beca reticent.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. As long as I fulfill my duty, it's fine. Once the blood arrives, I'll perform the surgery on the child, and everything else is none of my concern!"
Liu Zixuan shrugged and smiled.
But upon hearing this, ng Yu beca anxious and tugged at ng Chen's hand, "Morning Sister, what's really going on, hurry up and tell us, Dongdong is the only bloodline left from Uncle's side, are you really going to just watch him suffer?"
ng Chen was silent for a while, then looked up at ng Yu, "I'll tell you, but I hope you won't get angry!"
ng Yu was stunned for a mont, "It's related to ?"
"Yes."
Liu Zixuan thought to himself, as expected, their trip to Ghost Wood City really was connected to ng Yu!
ng Yu shook her head, "It doesn't matter, just tell , if it weren't for Uncle giving my family money back then, our family of three probably would have starved to death on the streets of Celestial Capital, and I wouldn't be where I am today."
ng Chen sighed, "As you all know, Celestial Capital has always been a place watched or gathered by various forces of the Star Sea since ancient tis. Twenty-five years ago, the ng family was one of the top families in Celestial Capital."
"After a major reshuffle more than ten years ago, the ng family beca a second-rate family, abandoning Dongdong and ng Yu's branch just to barely survive in Celestial Capital!"
"The family has always wanted to return to Peak, to rejoin the ranks of top families. Over the years, they've made nurous connections and have paid big costs, collaborating with so families from elsewhere, trying to build their strength!"
ng Chen paused for a mont here, "But they were too hasty and aggressive. Unbeknownst to them, the allied families harbored ulterior motives. In the first four or five years, it seed like the ng family was on the brink of becoming stronger!"
"Yet recently, the hidden troubles finally surfaced. One of the allied families suddenly turned against them, joining the opposition to the ng family. Because of this, the ng family's ambition was exposed, and the opposing forces began to oppress the ng family strongly!"
"So they started targeting the ng family, and now the ng family has turned to the abandoned ng Yu's family?" Liu Zixuan coldly asked.
ng Chen gave Liu Zixuan a peculiar look but eventually nodded.
"One of the two allied families defected, and the remaining one made a demand, threatening to end the collaboration if the ng family didn't et it."
"You're aware that this is a mont of life and death for the ng family; how could they not fulfill their demand!"
"What was the demand?" ng Yu asked.
ng Chen looked at ng Yu, "It's you. They found out sohow that you were once a part of the ng family and know you're now a big celebrity and very beautiful. They demanded you beco their young master's girlfriend; if you agree, they'll fully support the ng family against the opposition!"
"Ha." Liu Zixuan sneered, "The ng family abandoned ng Yu's family because of family reasons back then, and now seeing they're doing well, they want to exploit them? I think the destruction of the ng family would be gratifying!"
A flash of anger crossed ng Chen's face, clearly indicating that Liu Zixuan's words had struck a nerve; however, it was evidently the wrong ti to lose her temper.
She continued, "A while ago, when ng Yu went to Celestial Capital to visit Dongdong, soone in the family saw her, prompting them to have and Xiao Zhi co and persuade her. It just so happened that Dongdong also needed to co over, so we ca to Ghost Wood City, and this unfortunate event occurred midway."
ng Yu had heard enough to grasp the situation and let out a self-deprecating laugh, "The ng family's way of handling things is truly laughable! If they knew this would happen, why did they kick us out in the first place?"
"ng Yu, I'm on your side. I had already decided when I ca that you shouldn't agree to their demands!"
"That may be your thinking, but isn't ng Zhihao thinking differently? According to the family hierarchy, ng Zhihao and the sleeping ng Dongdong are both candidates to be future heirs of the ng family. Surely they want to use ng Yu to achieve their ambitions?"
Liu Zixuan sneered, "I knew it, your intentions were never pure!"
