Chapter 2780: Hatching A Plan
“Ketchup?”
When Baby Chu heard this, he immediately stopped crying and did not feel scared anymore. After all, he was a gullible child who could be coaxed just by a few words of consolation.
He believed Gu Jinglian’s words blindly without any doubt.
He was originally afraid of the stench of blood. However, because of Gu Jinglian’s assurances, his courage gradually increased.
“Are you guys playing a game?”
Baby Chu jabbed a finger at the bloodstains on his body. “Is this ketchup too?”
“Yes.”
Baby Chu heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest lightly. However, he still panted slightly due to a lingering fear.
“I even thought you are a heinous villain who murders people and commits arson. A villain like that is really scary!”
Baby Chu’s casual remark made Gu Jinglian panic for a moment.
“I hate such villains!” Baby Chu emphasized again. Suddenly, he changed the topic and muttered softly, “But you look like a very elegant gentleman. You’re definitely not a bad guy.”
Gu Jinglian was stunned for a while. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and fell into a deep thought.
Ma Men stepped forward respectfully and leaned close to the window.
Massaging his forehead, Gu Jinglian coldly asked without even raising his head, “Is the leader of the Qing Long Gang dead yet?”
Ma Men replied, “No. There’s still a pulse, but his breathing is weak.”
Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows impatiently and smirked. “He’s not dead yet, huh? He’s a tough guy. Well, there’s no harm in keeping him alive. I still have questions to ask him.”
“Understood.”
“There’s more.”
Mammon was confused. “Huh? Please tell me your instructions, Chief!”
Gu Jinglian instructed Ma Men in an icy tone, “Don’t waste any time. Deal with it cleanly.”
“Yes!”
“Also, kill everyone except for Long Si. Don’t leave anyone alive.”
“Understood.”
Frowning, Gu Jinglian spat gloomily, “It’s unlucky to witness bloodshed so late at night.”
The car window rolled up and the car sped away.
…
On an afternoon two days later, Chu He was wheeled into the operating theater for a minimally invasive surgery.
Meng Qingxue waited outside the operating theater. Overwhelmed by worry, she seemed very distracted.
The doctor said that the surgery was very risky.
However, he refused to specify how great the risk was. He only told them the worst case scenario—that Chu He might fall into a prolonged coma.
Meng Qingxue had thought of giving up on the surgery.
However, the doctor assured her that the probability of Chu He falling into a coma was very small. It was just a common practice for the chief surgeon to report the worst possible scenario in advance, so that the family members could be mentally prepared.
After further diagnosis, examination, and another brain CT scan, the doctor said with relief that the blood clot in Chu He’s brain was not located in the ventricles or skull..
This meant that the surgery would not necessitate a craniotomy.
However, in order to prevent any future complications, the doctor still suggested that Chu He should undergo surgery immediately to remove the clot in her brain.
The cost of surgery was very high.
Chu He naturally could not afford such high expenses.
As for Meng Qingxue, she could not fork out that much money from her savings as well. After discussing this matter with Mu Yancheng, he paid for all the medical fees without a single hesitation.
Meng Qingxue was very grateful.
She hoped that the surgery would be successful. It would be best if Chu He could regain her memory.
After all, having amnesia was an agonizing experience.
She also did not expect Mu Yancheng to agree so readily and unhesitatingly!
Mu Yancheng, on the other hand, already had a plan. He knew clearly what he was doing.
