Chapter 84: Su Mengxue was completely stunned!
She couldn't stop her trembling fingers from covering the white cloth. The moment the cloth slipped off, she saw Gu Yunting lying quietly on the hospital bed. His resolute and handsome face was as pale as paper, and there were dried blood scabs at the corners of his lips. The man who was once full of energy was now lifeless.
Then her ears were filled with the wails of Sun Suqin and Gu Weiguo, and then the low voice of Lu Yuanzhou. She didn't have time to hear clearly what he said. Her eyes went black and she lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was already lying on the hospital bed, with an IV drip hanging on her hand, and her whole body was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
She thought of the scene just now, struggled to sit up, and shouted Gu Yunting's name in despair. Just as she was about to pull out the needle from her hand, she was held down by Lu Yuanzhou.
Lu Yuanzhou grasped her trembling shoulders and said painfully, "Mengxue, I know you're feeling very bad right now, but Brother Yunting is gone. You have to accept the reality."
Su Mengxue shook off his hand, her eyes widened, and she scolded him harshly: "Lu Yuanzhou, what nonsense are you talking about? Who said Gu Yunting is dead? He is not."
She then thought of the pale, bloodless face and murmured softly, "He didn't, he didn't..." Tears rolled down her face as she spoke, and her voice became softer and softer, and less and less confident.
Lu Yuanzhou held her hand, suppressing the sadness in his heart, and gently persuaded her: "Mengxue, if Brother Yun Ting saw you like this, he would definitely be sad. Since he risked his life to save you, he just wanted you to live well."
He paused after he finished speaking, his eyes falling on her lower abdomen, and he said truthfully, "The doctor just told me that your abdomen was hit. If you keep getting so emotional, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the baby in your belly."
A child? Su Mengxue lowered her eyes to gaze at her flat belly, a complex mix of emotions welling up in her eyes. She had been desperate to abort the child, but now, because of the fact that Gu Yunting had died saving her, her feelings suddenly became heavy and tangled.
Seeing her silence, Lu Yuanzhou considered for a moment, then looked at her carefully and said, "Mengxue, I understand your guilt towards Brother Yunting. If you want to give birth to the child, I am willing to raise him with you."
Su Mengxue caressed her lower abdomen, her eyes determined. "Whether this child stays or not, I'll take care of it myself. I won't burden anyone else." She looked up at Lu Yuanzhou and said in a deep voice, "Lu Yuanzhou, Sun Suqin is right. Anyone who gets involved with me will be in trouble. Don't waste your time on me."
Seeing her downcast expression, Lu Yuanzhou felt bad too. He frowned and explained anxiously, "Mengxue, I know that Brother Yunting's incident has hit you hard, so you're emotionally unstable right now and have all sorts of wild thoughts. But I want to tell you that you're not the jinx she said you were, and I'm not someone else either. I did this willingly."
Su Mengxue was upset. She didn't want to discuss this with another man while Gu Yunting's body was still warm. She whispered to him to leave: "Lu Yuanzhou, please leave first. I want to be alone for a while."
Lu Yuanzhou knew that she needed time to accept this cruel reality. When he stood up, his eyes were filled with worry: "Mengxue, I'll be guarding the door. Call me anytime if you need anything."
After Lu Yuanzhou closed the door and left, Su Mengxue suppressed her grief and stared at the empty surroundings in a daze. Her mind was full of thoughts about Wang Jun and Jiang Shiyi. No matter whether her guess was right or not, she had to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes so that she could give Gu Yunting an explanation.
Her eyes darkened. Now that Wang Jun was dead, all the clues were gone from him, and there was no evidence. How could she find that person?
She then thought about the middle-aged man's instructions to her. He forbade her to reveal the news of Wang Jun's death. What was his intention?
After careful consideration, she suddenly woke up and announced to others that Wang Jun was not dead but in a coma in order to force the mastermind behind the scenes to show up.
If that person was really Jiang Shiyi, she would come to the hospital soon. She realized that there was still a tough battle to fight, and it was far from time to be sad.
Just as she made up her mind, Lu Yuanzhou pushed the door open and came in. He walked a few steps to her and said worriedly, "Mengxue, the public security comrades are here. They want to ask you about what happened today. Can you do it yourself?"
Su Mengxue straightened her back upon hearing this and replied without hesitation: "Lu Yuanzhou, let them in, I'm fine."
Seeing that she looked more energetic and the worry in her eyes had faded a little, Lu Yuanzhou nodded in agreement and went outside to call the police.
Su Mengxue talked with the two public security comrades for a long time, explaining to them the whole story and her own speculations. The public security comrades took notes and left.
Then she saw Lu Yuanzhou coming in hurriedly, holding a thermos in his hand. He walked a few steps to the cabinet, put the thermos on it, and after giving her a few instructions, he said he had something to do and had to leave.
Seeing his panicked look, Su Mengxue immediately had a bad feeling. She looked at him and asked hurriedly, "Lu Yuanzhou, what happened?"
Lu Yuanzhou didn't dare look Su Mengxue in the eye. He looked away awkwardly and stammered, "Nothing... nothing, it's just about the hospital. Mengxue, eat well. I'll be back soon."
The moment he turned to leave, Su Mengxue grabbed his arm and asked sternly, "Lu Yuanzhou, you won't lie, right, Grandpa Gu?"
Lu Yuanzhou knew he couldn't hide anything from her. He lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know who leaked the news, but Uncle Gu is being rescued now."
Su Mengxue's heart sank. Gu Yunting left because of her, and she couldn't let anything happen to the old man again. She pulled the needle out of her hand and staggered off the bed.
Seeing that her hand was still dripping with blood, Lu Yuanzhou frowned and said, "Mengxue, you haven't recovered yet, so don't go over there. Besides, you can't get into the emergency room even if you go. If there is any situation with Uncle Gu, I will tell you the first time."
"Lu Yuanzhou, where is Grandpa Gu being rescued? Take me there quickly!"
Seeing that Lu Yuanzhou was silent, Su Mengxue said sternly, "Lu Yuanzhou, even if you don't tell me, I can still ask the doctor."
As she spoke, she walked out with weak feet. Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhou had no choice but to compromise. He grabbed her hand and sighed, "Mengxue, I'll take you there right away."
When the two of them arrived at the emergency room door, Sun Suqin, who had been sitting in a chair crying, suddenly jumped up from her chair. She pointed at Su Mengxue with a trembling finger and angrily scolded, "Why are you here again, you jinx? Is it not enough that you killed Yun Ting? You want to kill the old man too?"
Su Mengxue ignored her. She saw that the middle-aged man was there too. Just as she was about to walk towards him, the door of the emergency room slammed open. Two doctors came out with frowns on their brows and said the same thing as before, asking the family to sign a critical illness notice.
After Gu Weiguo signed the critical illness notice, Su Mengxue had no time to grieve. Seeing the middle-aged man also about to go into the emergency room, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Please take me in. I have something to say to Grandpa Gu. Maybe we can save him."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Mengxue with a heavy expression. Before she could say anything, Sun Suqin rushed over and pulled her away. "You jinx, you want to follow me in? Are you afraid that the old man won't die quickly enough?"
Su Mengxue turned to look at Sun Suqin, her eyes full of anger: "If I knew that you were the one who leaked the news to Grandpa Gu, I would never let you go."
Sun Suqin's eyes trembled, and she was stunned for a moment. She raised her voice to hide her panic: "How can such a thing be hidden? What does it have to do with me?"
Su Mengxue didn't have time to deal with her right now. She turned to look at the middle-aged man with a burning gaze: "Just take me in. Maybe my words can really save Grandpa Gu."
Lin Wenbin looked into Su Mengxue's red but determined eyes and finally nodded slightly. Just as Sun Suqin was about to stop him, he took Su Mengxue and quickly stepped into the emergency room.
Su Mengxue staggered to the bedside, clutched the withered hands, and cried, "Grandpa Gu, you must not be in any harm. Although Gu Yunting is gone, I..."
She didn't care too much and choked up and said, "Grandpa Gu, I'm pregnant with Gu Yunting's child. How could you bear to leave without even seeing the child?"
Just as she was crying and almost collapsed on the bed, a strong voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Mengxue...you...what did you say just now?"
Su Mengxue suddenly raised her head and saw Gu Changhe sitting up, looking at her in surprise and joy.
She looked him up and down, and no matter how she looked at him, the old man didn't look like he was critically ill.
She looked at the old man's questioning, and blurted out in a daze: "Grandpa Gu, are you okay?"
