  Bai residence, study.

  Lu Chengzhou sat across from Old Master Bai.

  “Gu Mang is the Miracle Doctor?” Old Master Bai was taken aback by the news. Never in the world did he expect his granddaughter to be the revered Miracle Doctor.

  Lu Chengzhou nodded.

  “Then why did she step in to save Leng Xuan? Was it an order from Shadow League?” Old Master Leng frowned in perplexity.?

  Jijing Island had always been closed-off to outsiders. Before, the only external organization on Jijing Island was Killer Alliance, but the black market now belonged to Red Flame. It only made sense that Shadow League would not give up this golden opportunity.

  When talking on the phone with Lu Si, Lu Chengzhou could not get over the fact that Gu Mang had ruined his plans when he found out that she had stepped in to save Leng Xuan. However, upon further thinking, many images surfaced in his mind.

  ?His heart started thumping hard when he recalled the time she had displayed her hacking skills at Red Flame.?

  “I wonder if Shadow League’s expansion into Jijing Island is a good thing. I heard that the Bi family has already started to extend their goodwill to Shadow League. On top of that, we don’t know how much say Gu Mang has in Shadow League,” said Old Master Bai worriedly.?

  Lu Chengzhou merely smirked in response. “She’s got quite a lot of secrets.”


  “Pardon?” asked Old Master Bai in confusion.

  “Don’t worry, Grandpa. Everything will be fine.” Lu Chengzhou then stood up and politely said goodbye to the elderly man. “I’ll get going now.”


  “Wait.”


  Lu Chengzhou looked back.

  Old Master Bai rose to his feet as well. “The assessment will take place in three days. How is Gu Mang’s hand recovering?”


  “She’ll be removing her cast today.” Lu Chengzhou broke into laughter when he recalled Gu Mang’s attitude toward him. “I’m not sure how much her hand has healed. She only trusts Jiangsui and Yu Mufeng and rarely takes Bai Qingqing and me out with her.”


  After Lu Chengzhou forced Gu Mang to take her meds earlier, he lost the chance to get close to her. Even Bai Qingqing had been cast aside since Lin Shuang came.

  Old Master Bai, having already anticipated this, chuckled. “Her hand should be more or less healed since she’s been taking that special medicine.”


  Lu Chengzhou nodded. “Her own medicine is probably better than ours.”


  “True.” Old Master Bai could finally put his mind at ease. “You may go back now.”


  As Old Master Bai watched the door close, the smile on his face slowly slipped away.?

  …


  The small villa.

  Yu Mufeng took an X-ray of Gu Mang’s hand to make sure that her bone had indeed healed before removing the cast.

  “How is my sister’s hand?” asked Gu Si nervously as he looked at Gu Mang’s wrist. He had been quite worried about her injury, but ever since he found out that she was pregnant, he became even more worried such that he could not even sleep well at night.

  “Although it’s not completely healed yet, she is recovering quickly despite skipping her meds. She just can’t move her hand too much.”


  “She can’t move her hand too much?” Gu Si frowned. “But her assessment is coming up in three days.”


  Yu Mufeng said, “I’ll do more hot water baths and rehabilitation sessions for her hand during this period. We’ll see how it goes after that.”


  Gu Mang moved her right hand a little while looking expressionless.

  “Go boil some hot water,” Yu Mufeng ordered Gu Si.

  “Okay.” Gu Si immediately did as ordered.

  After bathing Gu Mang’s hand in hot water and making her do some light hand exercises for 30 minutes, her hand movements became much smoother.

  Just then they heard a knock on the door.

  “Young Lady, dinner is ready,” said Bai Sui from outside.
