Chapter 293: Chapter 291 Chen Hao

Twenty minutes later, at the main entrance of Modu City Center Hospital, a car slowly approached from a distance and entered the hospital’s underground parking.

Soon after, Xue Man and Lu Tianxing emerged from the underground parking together.

Xue Man’s mother was in a private ward on the fifth floor of Modu Central Hospital. The private ward was one of the better wards in the hospital and could be considered a VIP room, with one-on-one care and dedicated nurses available around the clock.

Taking the elevator, the two directly arrived at the fifth floor ward.

After pushing open the door of the ward and walking in, the sight of her mother on the bed brought a look of deep, undissolvable sorrow to Xue Man’s face, void of any trace of a smile.

Lu Tianxing followed behind Xue Man, and upon entering the ward, his gaze was immediately captured by Xue Man’s mother on the bed.

Even though Lu Tianxing had braced himself, the sight of Xue Man’s mother still made him involuntarily gasp.

The figure lying in the bed could hardly be called a living person, but rather a desiccated ’corpse’.

Xue Man’s mother’s skin lacked any sign of blood or plumpness; her sallow, wrinkled skin wrapped around her bones, her eye sockets deeply sunken, the entire person so gaunt that only bones seemed to remain, and her withered hair stuck to her scalp as if glued on. At first glance, she evoked the image of a mummy dried by wind at an air vent, not a living being.

Seeing Lu Tianxing without words, Xue Man turned her head back with an apologetic face, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you."

"It’s nothing, this scene doesn’t scare me."

Lu Tianxing revealed a comforting smile, though his eyes were tinged with a slight gravity.

The instant he saw Xue Man’s mother, Lu Tianxing became even more certain of his conjecture: Xue Man’s mother’s condition was almost identical to that of the person killed by Mandala using a Gu Worm, with the only difference being that Xue Man’s mother was still alive.

In other words, Xue Man’s mother was not sick, but someone had planted a Gu Worm inside her body, consuming her essence and blood. However, whether this was truly the case would only be known after examination.

"By the way, Minister Xue, are you the only one taking care of her here? I remember you should have a sister. Why isn’t she here?" Lu Tianxing withdrew his gaze and asked with curiosity.

Xue Bing should not be such a heartless person. If her mother was seriously ill and close to death, she had no reason to be absent. Even amidst a busy workload, she should be here.

"My sister went back to rest. She took care of her all night yesterday, so I asked her to go back and rest first."

Xue Man briefly explained, then looking at Lu Tianxing full of anticipation, asked, "So, Lu Tianxing, do you have any results? Can I call your friend now?"

"Let me take a look at auntie first..."

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, the tightly closed door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a young man dressed dapperly in a suit, stepping in leather shoes, carrying a bouquet of fresh flowers, walked in from outside.

Upon seeing Xue Man, the young man immediately showed a warm smile, "Xiao Man, you’re here too. I had some business at the hospital today, so I thought I’d come and visit auntie. I didn’t expect to see you here. How is it, auntie’s illness isn’t serious, is it?"

Hearing the young man’s words, Lu Tianxing silently chuckled a few times and kept his peace. Coming to the hospital with business, just to also visit, such talk was deceptive, and who actually brings flowers along for business? But since it was Xue Man’s private affair, it wasn’t his place to intervene.

Upon seeing the young man, Xue Man instinctively glanced at Lu Tianxing and coldly said, "Chen Hao, I’ve made it very clear to you, there’s no chance between us, and we are not familiar with each other. Just call me Xue Man."

Chen Hao hurriedly replied, "Xiao Man, how can you say we’re not familiar? We’ve known each other for almost a month, don’t you understand my feelings by now?"

"I don’t know about your feelings, nor do I want to know. If you have no other business, please leave. You’re not welcome here. I need to treat my mother now."

Xue Man’s expression was cold as she issued a clear expulsion order.

"Cure the disease?"

Chen Hao’s brows furrowed. Since he had seen Xue Man a month ago, he was stunned by her beauty and began to pursue her aggressively. Naturally, he investigated her background and knew about the incident of Xue Man’s mother being hospitalized a week ago. Even the most advanced medical equipment couldn’t diagnose the illness. Was there now suddenly a cure?

"May I know who this is?"

Chen Hao’s gaze suddenly fell on Lu Tianxing standing beside him, sizing him up with a glance that flickered with disdain.

"Lu Tianxing, the doctor treating Xue Man’s mother,"

Lu Tianxing gave a faint smile, perfectly aware of the scorn in Chen Hao’s eyes.

"You’re the doctor?"

As Chen Hao heard this, the ridicule in his eyes grew denser. Looking at Xue Man, he said, "Xiao Man, you can’t possibly be saying that he’s the doctor you’ve found? Xiao Man, no offense, but how could you be so naive? People like him are obviously charlatans. By hiring him, aren’t you just wasting your aunt’s best opportunity for treatment? He’s nothing but a swindler. Do you understand? By doing this, you might delay your aunt’s treatment."

Chen Hao spoke earnestly, then looked at Lu Tianxing with a sneer, "I don’t know which quack doctor you are or what sweet nothings you’ve whispered to Xiao Man, but I’m telling you, with me here, you won’t succeed. Now, get out on your own, and I’ll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite."

"Is that so? Who do you think you are? It’s you who should get out, or I’ll throw you out myself,"

Lu Tianxing’s lips curled slightly, his gaze sweeping over Chen Hao.

The icy look made Chen Hao subconsciously shrink his neck, feeling as if he was targeted by a predatory beast, sending shivers down his spine.

But Chen Hao quickly regained his composure, looking at Xue Man, he earnestly advised, "Xiao Man, he’s just a con artist. Even the renowned medical professor, Dean Cheng, is at his wits’ end. How could he possibly cure your mother? He clearly has ulterior motives. Xiao Man, you mustn’t be fooled."

"Whether I’m deceived or not is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. Please leave immediately, or I’ll call security to throw you out."

Xue Man’s voice swept coldly over Chen Hao, tone devoid of any emotion.

"Xiao Man..."

A sinister look flickered in Chen Hao’s eyes.

"Get out," Xue Man’s voice now carried anger.

"Alright, Xiao Man, don’t be angry. I’m leaving, I’ll leave right now. But I’m telling you, this guy is definitely a swindler."

Chen Hao gave Lu Tianxing a spiteful glance and walked out the door.

As soon as he left the ward, Chen Hao’s smiling face instantly turned dark and ominous, his complexion turning ashen to the extreme. He furiously threw the bouquet of flowers in his hand to the ground and stomped on them repeatedly, still not satisfied.

"Xue Man, you fucking bitch, who do you think you are? If I hadn’t taken a liking to you, do you think I would bother facing that ghostly woman every day? Fuck."

Chen Hao cursed as he walked towards the hospital exit, his face twisted with viciousness, "And that stinking brat, you dare to humiliate me today; I’ll make sure you pay the price, hmph."
