Shang Wu was known in circles for having a great life.
When she was down and out, the Cheng Zhou Crown Prince pulled her out of the abyss, doting on and protecting her, unwilling to let her s...
Zhou Yanci saw it clearly and immediately put down her phone, scolding, "What are you doing!"
Lu Rang gave him a cold look: "By the time you call an ambulance, she'll be dead."
He helped Shang Wu out of the house and settled her into his car.
As soon as Lu Rang sat down, he saw Zhou Yanci rushing over with Shang Wu's coat in hand.
He had a cold expression and stepped on the gas when Zhou Yanci reached the car door.
With a roar, his car shot forward.
Zhou Yanci was almost hit by the wind and took two steps back to avoid it.
"Hey, what are you doing! I haven't even gotten on the bus yet!"
He yelled at the spot, but the car didn't stop at all.
Zhou Yanci was furious. He turned around, got into his car, and followed closely behind.
Despite the car being well-heated, Shang Wu still felt chilly.
She kept rubbing and scratching the itchy spots on her arm. The more it bled, the more painful it became. The pain was mixed with itchiness, and she found it increasingly difficult to breathe.
Lu Rang glanced at her in the rearview mirror, then silently stepped on the gas and sped up.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Shang Wu was in so much pain that she felt like she was about to bang her head against the wall and faint.
She was trembling slightly, struggling to endure the pain.
Lu opened the car door and helped her up.
Shang Wu's legs went weak, and she bumped into him.
Behind them, Zhou Yanci's car had just caught up and stopped.
Lu Rang pursed his lips, bent down, wrapped his long arms around Shang Wu's legs, and lifted her up by the waist.
Shang Wu was taken aback and quickly nudged his shoulder.
"Don't do that, he's behind us..."
"You still have the leisure to care about him?" Zhou Yanci's gaze fell on Shang Wu, with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Shang Wu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously withdrew the hand that was being pushed towards him.
Lu Rang gently lifted her into his arms and quickly walked towards the hospital's emergency room.
Zhou Yanci parked the car and, upon seeing this scene, her face instantly darkened.
He quickly followed, trying to snatch it from Lu Rang.
But before he could catch up, two nurses and a doctor came out, took Shang Wu, and sent her into the emergency room.
Zhou Yanci stood at the door, but was told by the nurse that her companion was not allowed to go in.
He stood still, clenched his fists, and stared coldly at Lu Rang.
"Attorney Lu."
His eyes were full of suspicion: "My fiancée had an accident, and you're so worried, driving her around and hugging her. Am I mistaken? Aren't you the one who's engaged to her?"
His tone was filled with a hint of displeasure, as if he wanted to settle accounts.
Lu Rang turned away, ignoring Zhou Yanci, and sat on the bench, calmly straightening his sleeves.
He said nonchalantly, "Spreading rumors will take you to court. Don't challenge my expertise. Instead of doubting this, you should worry about your fiancée's allergic reaction. I wonder what she ate that she shouldn't have."
Lu Rang's words were loaded with meaning, carrying a subtle hint of intimidation and warning.
Zhou Yanci was suddenly stunned. Thinking of the medicine he had put in the water glass, he felt guilty and his eyes flickered.
He snorted and ignored Lu Rang.
The two stood back to back, and it took more than half an hour before the emergency room door was opened.
Zhou Yanci immediately strode forward to meet him.
Lu Rang looked up at the doctor who came out.
"Doctor, how is she? Is my fiancée alright?" Zhou Yanci asked anxiously.
The doctor took off his mask and sighed softly.
"She is allergic to a substance called elm extract. She must have accidentally ingested food containing this substance to have such a strong reaction. If the dosage of this substance is too high, it can cause cardiac arrest and death. You will have to take extra care of her in the future to prevent this from happening again."
Zhou Yanci was taken aback. He blurted out, "It's that serious?"
"Yes," the doctor said, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "Isn't this your fiancée? Don't you know what she's allergic to?"
Zhou Yanci was speechless and felt somewhat embarrassed.
He coughed twice: "I... I've never heard her mention it before."
Lu Rang pressed further, "Does he need to be hospitalized for observation?"
"The medication has worn off. We should have her stomach pumped, but there's no way to clear the allergens from her body right now, so we can only treat her slowly with IV fluids."
After the nurse finished explaining, she emphasized, "You can't leave the hospital tonight; you need to continue to be observed. Otherwise, we won't be able to detect any subsequent problems."
Zhou Yanci was absent-minded, constantly thinking about the things in the living room trash can.
If Shang Wu found out that he had put something in the water, his image would be completely ruined.
He couldn't sit still any longer and glanced coldly at Lu Rang.
"You stay here and help out for a bit. I'm going home to get something and I'll be right back. I'm warning you, don't you dare lay a hand on Shang Wu while I'm gone!"
Lu Rang glanced at him indifferently, his gaze filled with contempt and a hint of coldness.
He ignored Zhou Yanci and stepped into the ward.
Inside the room, Shang Wu lay quietly with her eyes closed.
Lu Rang closed the ward door.
"No need to pretend anymore, he's not here."
