Chapter 108
Shao Ji took a closer look and realized that the person looked strangely familiar. She saw a boy lying on top of the director, biting his neck and refusing to let go, while the director did not react at all and seemed to be asleep.
Twice now, I've seen the director and Gu...
But how could a person not notice someone lying on top of them? Especially someone that big?
But seeing that the director was fast asleep, could it be... that he was drugged?
The boy, who was actually Gu, looked up with some satisfaction. He had been following behind after stopping the doctor, but had never had a chance to meet the main body. Now, he had finally sucked his fill in one go, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
He couldn't help but lie there for a while before slowly climbing down. Sure enough, this kind of influence was still very significant. The offspring gu naturally couldn't leave the mother gu, and this influence also reached the host, making him unable to resist getting as close to the host as possible when he was near the host.
After checking and finding nothing wrong, Gu left reluctantly.
Nangong Qi breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he hadn't actually done anything to the director.
She couldn't help but wonder how the Gu had gotten in, or if the Gu had also participated in this plan.
She could only watch helplessly as Gu emerged openly, her last hope shattered. This proved that Gu knew about and even participated in this plan—a plan targeting the director.
It was all a misplaced trust. Nangong Qi just couldn't understand why. Why, when everyone seemed so affectionate towards the director, could they join forces against him this time? In other words, how could they tolerate sharing the director if they hated him?
Or something happened in the past few days that she doesn't know about.
The translator on the side couldn't hide his shock; he was completely disoriented, lost in thought.
His first reaction was that the yellow ear fungus wasn't the first one he got to eat! Oh no, the translator realized how awful his first thought could be.
Perhaps we should analyze why they would lock up the warden here together.
Just as Nangong Qi and the translator were still gossiping, the doctor brought someone back.
The group of people were clearly the ones who had just been poisoned! Only the assistant seemed confused as to why they had suddenly brought someone else. And who was this child?
However, she didn't ask whether bringing him here now was related to the director or if it was a waste of time.
Nangong Qi was shocked. Was the doctor really that amazing? With so many guards, how could the doctor have brought Rang over without anyone noticing!
The translator, however, was still surprised by the previous incident.
The doctor could tell what Nangong Qi was thinking just by looking at her eyes. He twitched his lips and said, "Don't think too much. I just caught this brat when he was in the guard's blind spot. He was already some distance away from the director."
Gu kicked his legs twice and, finding that he couldn't touch the ground, gave up. He hadn't expected these people to come looking for him so quickly.
He hadn't had a few days of peace yet, so he decided that he would never speak again.
But the doctor clearly had his own plans. "Nangong Qi, tell me what you just saw. Don't hide it from me! I've studied micro-expressions!"
Nangong Qi was initially hesitant, but after considering that the director's reputation wasn't exactly good, she convinced herself and spoke up without any psychological burden.
The assistant was bewildered as she received information she couldn't comprehend. What was going on? Had the world developed to a point where she couldn't understand it anymore?
Is the director really that charming? She was a little confused. The director's reputation wasn't very good, after all, in the eyes of most people, the director had ambiguous relationships with several beauties. But the assistant still believed in the director's character.
The doctor's face began to turn sinister. "I never expected that. You were so honest before, but it turns out you were just pretending. I haven't even settled the score with you yet."
Gu remained silent and did not want to know what they had misunderstood.
The doctor hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss Assistant, can you transform into the form of a Gu?"
In an instant, they understood the doctor's plan. They could become the eyes of the Gu and enter as Gu. Just as the group was about to sneak in, Nangong Qi suddenly changed her expression.
The group was startled and quickly rolled inside, ending up in a heap. However, they dared not cry out in pain for a moment, fearing they would be discovered.
A moment later, Shao Ji appeared, glanced at them lightly but ignored them, and continued forward.
I can't be bothered with it anymore. Gu's disguise is a deadly move, so it's impossible for her to make a move. It's only natural that the doctor caught her. If she makes a move, it will expose the truth. He still needs them to do his job, so he'll just ignore it as long as they don't come in or disturb him.
Seeing that they were intimidated, Shao Ji nodded in satisfaction.
The others didn't dare to breathe, especially the doctor. They were shocked to see the doctor, who had been so arrogant in the face of the Gu poison, now so timid...
Isn't this bullying the weak and fearing the strong? The doctor also noticed the other people's gazes. "Go away, what are you looking at? It's like you didn't hide." He was genuinely traumatized by the fact that he had been defeated by Shao Ji in one move a few years ago.
Nangong Qi, curious about what would happen next, continued to watch with her mental power. She saw Shao Ji enter the director's courtyard and head straight to the director's room.
The director was still unconscious, but Shao Ji frowned. Shao Ji's expression was unusually vivid, a rare sight for everyone. But what was causing Shao Ji to frown?
Nangong Qi quickly found the answer because she immediately bent down, took out a towel, and wiped the director's body repeatedly before suddenly stopping.
He touched the director's neck, wondering what Shao Ji was thinking. Then Shao Ji turned and went into the inner door. She was extremely familiar with the layout of the place, so it was clear that this was not her first time here.
Not long after, Shao Ji came out with a basin of hot water. After wetting a towel, she continued to wipe the director's neck as if there was some dirt that couldn't be removed.
Nangong Qi knew very well that the spot was where the Gu was contained, so this was something that Shao Ji could not tolerate, but she endured it. She just kept wiping it until fine red spots started to appear on the director's neck before she stopped.
Then Nangong Qi saw Shao Ji lying down by the director's bedside with great reluctance, as if she was not going to leave. This restrained and gentle action contrasted sharply with Gu's bold action.
The director was lying some distance away. Nangong Qi watched as the director remained motionless for an unknown amount of time before leaving. She wondered what Shao Ji was thinking at that moment, and whether she was regretting making this decision.
In fact, Shao Ji noticed the conspicuous reflection as soon as she entered. Could it be that she hadn't wiped her drool clean? He was a little puzzled, thinking that he seemed to have checked and wiped it clean just now.
Then, as he got closer, he realized he couldn't see the reflection anymore. He then realized it was because of the distance; it was only visible from a distance, and he hadn't looked back.
So he started wiping, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder suddenly kicked in, so he wiped it again with hot water.
To prevent them from stubbornly coming in, she planned to stay a little longer. What lingering attachment? It's because everyone's perception of others is always influenced by their own subjective perspective.
After an unknown amount of time, Shao Ji finally got up. She didn't do anything from beginning to end; it seemed she was just there to check on the director.
I have to leave due to work reasons! So...
Just as the others were thinking they could finally leave, a figure appeared again! It was Aji and the others who had just poked their heads out, but now they pressed them back down.
The group could only watch helplessly as Aji went inside. They had even less confidence in him.
Nangong Qi could only continue watching. She watched as Aji went inside. Once inside, he did nothing but stand and watch, motionless as if on guard duty. (He was standing guard to prevent the others from entering.)
For the others, it was incredibly frustrating because they couldn't see it! Only the translator could roughly guess what had happened based on Nangong Qi's inner thoughts.
They couldn't help but wonder if all these leaders were so idle.
They could only wait until Nangong Qi finally saw Aji move. He brushed aside the director's hair, which was partially covering his eyebrows, then tucked the director's hand, which was outside the blanket, back under the covers, and then tucked the blanket in for him.
Then they left, but the others were still holding their breath, wondering if they were on a shift system and if someone else would be there next.
But after waiting for a while, even after Aji and the others had disappeared from sight, they still hadn't seen anyone else. Could it be that there was no one left?
They looked at Nangong Qi with burning eyes, hoping she would tell them everything that had just happened inside.
Nangong Qi coughed and began to vividly recount everything that had happened inside.
The shocked group began to analyze the situation. Had they all taken turns coming? Was it really a shift system? But everyone's schedule was different. They hadn't actually met each other, but it was definitely one after another.
"Where's Hongji? Why didn't he show up?" Nangong Qi was puzzled. It didn't make sense that everyone else had come but he hadn't. Was he perhaps too busy?
“Not necessarily…” The assistant spoke first. “You’ve all forgotten that now that he’s in a state of utter stillness, he has no physical limitations, so…” So he might be omnipresent, or he might be in some corner watching them, watching them interact with the director back and forth.
"But they didn't touch the director, so why can this guy? Isn't he afraid of being tortured if he's discovered?" The doctor shook the Gu in his hand.
“Um… I think I know why, it must be because of his special abilities…” For some reason, Nangong Qi suddenly remembered the Gu ability in the novel.
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but hiss and exclaim that this ability was a huge advantage!
In other words, they may have all agreed not to do anything to the director, but Gu took advantage of the side effects of his abilities to openly and legitimately gain the upper hand! The others couldn't say anything!
After all, Gu wasn't just sucking blood; he almost became one with the director!
