  Gu Mang’s health was not in serious danger so after the Bai family, Yang Tianming, and the others had visited her, they all left. Qin Yaozhi was the only one who stayed aside from Gu Si.

  The overbed table that Gu Mang had her meal on was cleaned by the hospital staff.

  Gu Si was just about to hand his sister her medicine and pour her some water when he noticed that Bai Sui had placed a cup of water and the cap of the medicine bottle in front of Gu Mang.

  Gu Si was silent.

  “Young Lady, have some medicine,” Bai Sui said.

  Gu Mang looked down at the pile of pills and capsules in the lid. She picked out the painkillers and put them to the side. She swallowed the remaining pills, which were anti-inflammatory capsules, and she picked up the cup of water……

  Bai Sui’s gaze landed on the painkillers and she paused for a few seconds.

  Qin Yaozhi asked in confusion, “Sister Mang, why aren’t you taking those pills?”


  “It stops pain. I don’t need that,” Gu Mang answered simply.

  “Huh?” Qin Yaozhi looked at her hand which had seven stitches. It seemed like it would hurt a lot. How could painkillers be unnecessary?

  Gu Si did not say anything. His sister really despised neurological agents. She probably had requested that she be stitched up without anesthesia the previous night.

  Jiangsui and Bai Qingqing did not say anything.

  Gu Mang took the pills and pushed the quilt to the side. “I’m going to the washroom.”


  They all watched as she walked in and shut the door behind her.

  Gu Mang walked straight to the toilet. Then, she spat out all the softened anti-inflammatory capsules that she had hidden in her mouth……

  Outside.

  Gu Si sat by the bed and he turned to Bai Sui. “Where did you go with my Grandpa this morning?”


  Bai Sui kept looking at the washroom. When he heard what Gu Si said, he turned his head towards the boy.

  Gu Si smiled harmlessly. His feelings were concealed. “The two of you went out together last night, didn’t you?”


  Bai Sui remained silent.

  In the morning, Gu Si had seen Bai Sui and Old Master Bai return and he found it strange. So, he asked Jiangsui and Bai Qingqing if they had seen Bai Sui last night. They said that they hadn’t seen him at all, not even when they woke up in the morning.

  Surely, Grandpa would not do anything that could harm the siblings but Gu Si still had to ask just to be sure. After all, this was Jijing Island. They had to stay vigilant.

  “Where did you go?” Gu Si asked slowly. He rested his arms on the overbed table and he propped up his chin on his hands. He raised his eyebrows, looking really sly.

  His young eyes were faintly sharp.

  Bai Sui lowered his head a little and replied respectfully, “Elder Bai told me to get rid of the bodies from last night.”


  “Oh,” Gu Si responded. “How did you get rid of them?”


  Bai Sui answered, “We sent them all to the Leng family.”


  “Pretty good.” Gu Si nodded, as if he were very satisfied. He smiled slightly. “Brother Sui, let’s have a discussion. You’re now here to protect me and my sister. So before you do anything in the future, let me know. I get worried when I cannot find you.”


  When he said that, he even pouted.

  The corners of Bai Sui’s eyes twitched slightly.

  Jiangsui and Bai Qingqing’s expressions were rather complicated as well.

  There were two sudden knocks on the door of the ward. The CEO of the hospital came in with the director and the deputy director of the surgical department, as well as a group of attending doctors and nurses. They crowded into the ward.

  The CEO was clearly very nervous. When he met Gu Si’s eyes, he clenched his fists in fear.

  He bowed at Gu Si and saluted. “Young Master Gu.”


  Gu Si responded lazily, “Are you going to check on my sister?”


  “Yes.” Beads of cold sweat formed on the CEO’s forehead as if Gu Si were a scourge that caused great suffering.

  Gu Si answered, “My sister’s in the washroom. Give her a moment.”


  “Understood.”


  Just as he said that, Gu Mang stepped out of the washroom.
