The rain was heavy at night, but fortunately the weather wasn't cold. Lu Qing, wrapped in a Taoist robe, curled up and slept soundly.
The next morning, Lu Qing was awakened by the sound of a car speeding by.
She had just opened her eyes when she saw a man as handsome as a movie star walking towards her.
"You're the woman who ate my grandma's pancakes yesterday?"
Lu Qing woke up groggily, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the man:
Who are you?
The man looked anxious, gripping Lu Qing's Taoist robe with both hands and repeating sharply:
"Answer me, are you the woman who ate my grandma's pancake yesterday?"
Waking up early in the morning and being yelled at for no reason, Lu Qing finally lost her temper:
"Who are you? I only ate a few pancakes. Grandma treated me to them, I didn't steal them, why are you yelling at me?"
"That's it! You're the one!"
After saying that, the man ignored Lu Qing's reaction, picked her up and threw her into the car, then sped away.
Due to the car's inertia, Lu Qing's head hit the back of the seat, causing him a sharp pain.
She gritted her teeth and glared at the man driving: "Who are you? Where are you taking me?"
"My grandma is in trouble. Before she lost consciousness, she said that only you can save her!" the man said sternly.
Lu Qingwei was stunned for a moment, then realized that something must have happened to the old lady.
This person is probably a family member of the old lady.
"How is Grandma?" Lu Qing asked.
The man took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down as much as possible:
“Last night she had a high fever. After taking medicine, the fever did not go down. Instead, she went crazy, biting people and trying to jump downstairs. She was completely deranged.”
“We finally managed to subdue her. She was only conscious for a few seconds during that time and then asked me to come find you.”
Lu Qing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper; her worst fears had come true.
If the old lady had accepted her talisman yesterday, things wouldn't have turned out this way today. It's all fate!
The car drove straight to the Gu family's private hospital, where the old lady was still strapped to the hospital bed.
Her expression was pained, her eyes were bloodshot, and her whole body twisted and struggled as if there were knives on the bed. She also let out hoarse screams.
Seeing this, Lu Qing rushed forward and was about to help when a girl stopped him:
"Wait! Who are you? What do you want to do to Grandma?"
The girl was young, about the same age as Lu Qing, and was dressed in designer brands from head to toe, with exquisite makeup on her face.
Because the old lady's illness came on suddenly, everyone was busy taking her to the hospital, and almost everyone was without makeup, some even wearing slippers.
This girl was the only one who was dressed up carefully, standing out from the others present.
Lu Qing didn't want to get entangled with her:
"Grandma is possessed by an evil spirit, which is already eroding her soul. If it is not driven away soon, I'm afraid her life will be in danger."
Before anyone could react to these words, Gu Rongrong angrily retorted:
"You wretch, what nonsense are you spouting! What evil spirit? I think you're just a liar!"
Lu Qing glanced at Gu Rongrong, taking in the panic in her eyes.
The old lady being haunted by a ghost was probably related to this person, but it was a family matter, so Lu Qing didn't say anything more.
"I'm telling the truth, believe it or not!" Lu Qing said calmly.
Gu Xicheng's father, Gu Yan, frowned and looked Lu Qing up and down.
The little girl was quite young, her clothes were dirty, and she was wearing a purple Taoist robe, but her face was fair and clean, and she was very cute.
Especially her big eyes, like purple grapes, black and bright, clear as a spring.
My first impression was good, but he didn't look like a highly skilled person who could save lives.
"Xiaocheng, are you sure this girl is the person your grandmother said she was looking for before she fell into a coma?" Gu Yan asked in a low voice.
Gu Xicheng nodded: "She was the one who ate Grandma's pancakes yesterday."
"Mom said this girl can save her, is that just nonsense?" Gu Xicheng's mother, Nan Qian, asked her husband in a low voice.
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and remained silent, clearly also harboring suspicion.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing said directly:
"If you're willing to trust me, I'll treat you; if you're not, I'll leave. The decision is yours!"
"Also, let me remind you that Grandma can only hold on for another hour at most. If she goes past that time, even a miracle worker couldn't save her."
Upon hearing this, Gu Rongrong, like a mad dog, seized upon Lu Qing and began to attack.
"Grandma is just sick. Even the doctor hasn't made a diagnosis yet. You liar, how dare you curse Grandma! Get out of here!"
After scolding Lu Qing, Gu Rongrong pulled Gu Yan and Nan Qian aside and said:
"Mom and Dad, you can't believe her!"
"What evil spirit possession! This woman is clearly a fraud; Grandma's illness might be related to her!"
Her words made Gu Yan and Nan Qian even more hesitant.
Seeing that none of the family believed her, Lu Qing turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xicheng stopped her:
"etc!"
Gu Xicheng frowned and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Dad, Mom, let her try. Grandma doesn't look like she's sick in a normal way!"
"Xiaocheng, even you believe that Mom is possessed by a ghost?"
Nan Qian looked at Gu Xicheng with some nervousness.
Gu Xicheng stared intently and said in a deep voice:
"Mom, didn't we already find the answer to whether ghosts exist in this world eighteen years ago?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Qian's expression changed drastically, as if she had thought of something terrifying, and her face turned several shades pale.
Gu Yan took Nan Qian's hand and patted it reassuringly:
"It's alright! Let's listen to Xiaocheng and let this girl give it a try!"
Gu Yan looked at Lu Qing and said seriously:
“Girl, my mother toiled for half her life, supporting the whole family on her own. Without her, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
"If you save her, I, Gu Yan, will repay you with the full power of the Gu family. But if you are truly a liar, don't blame me for being impolite!"
A balance of strictness and leniency serves as both a request and a warning.
Lu Qing nodded slightly:
"As long as you believe in me, I will definitely give you a healthy grandmother!"
Seeing Lu Qing step forward, Gu Rongrong once again blocked the way in front of the bed:
"Mom and Dad, how could you entrust Grandma's life to a liar?"
“Let’s wait a little longer. The best doctor from abroad will be here soon. He will definitely be able to cure Grandma.”
Lu Qing looked displeased as he was repeatedly interrupted.
But before she could speak, Gu Xicheng scolded her:
"Gu Rongrong, get out of my way!"
Gu Rongrong has always been unruly and has not shown much respect for her grandmother.
Gu Xicheng preferred to believe Lu Qing rather than her.
Gu Rongrong shrank back in fright at Gu Xicheng's harsh words, then reluctantly pulled Nan Qian aside to complain:
"Mom, my brother is yelling at me again!"
Nan Qian frowned and patted Gu Rongrong's shoulder:
"Rongrong, stop fooling around. Grandma's illness is the priority. Let this girl try first!"
"But……"
Gu Rongrong wanted to say something, but Gu Xicheng pulled her away.
"Shut up, or don't blame me for throwing you out!"
Gu Xicheng has never had much patience for his spoiled younger sister.
After pulling her away, Gu Xicheng pushed Lu Qing forward.
The old woman was acting crazy; she would open her mouth and bite anyone who came near.
As Lu Qing's hand drew closer, everyone couldn't help but tense up.
Strangely, the previously manic old woman quieted down upon seeing Lu Qing, and a look of fear appeared on her face.
Lu Qing's cold gaze passed through the old woman and landed on the evil spirit.
The evil spirit was also an elderly woman nearing seventy, emaciated with sunken eyes, clearly having died of illness.
She possessed the old woman's body in order to devour her soul, take over her body, and return to the mortal realm.
The old woman's soul has now been half swallowed up. The only way to save her is to make the evil spirit spit out her soul.
