Fu Jingshen also didn’t expect to coincidentally encounter Lu Miao when he ca to see Elder Sun.
His lips curled up as he approached and extended his hand to Gu Shiyan, “Mr. Gu, what a coincidence, we et again.”
Gu Shiyan shook his hand in return, “Mr. Fu, your business ventures are indeed wide-ranging. Your presence can be found everywhere.”
“Not as impressive as Mr. Gu. I still have much to learn from you,” Fu Jingshen replied with a smile.
Seeing the inexplicable and competitive interaction between the two, Lu Miao was speechless. She turned her head to Fu Jingshen and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I ca to ask Elder Sun about the progress of the research on Alzheir’s disease in traditional Chinese dicine, if there have been any developnts,” Fu Jingshen answered directly.
“Kid, even with so many top experts worldwide researching for many years, there’s still no solution. Do you think I’m a deity?” Elder Sun said impatiently.
Currently, there is no cure for Alzheir’s disease globally, and dical interventions can only delay its progression.
Fu Jingshen sighed, “My grandfather is anxious, what can I do?”
When he last visited Luo City, one reason was for Lu Miao, and the other was to discuss this matter with Elder Sun and others.
“Your grandfather?” Lu Miao’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Fu Jingshen hesitated for a mont before speaking honestly, “No, it’s Uncle
Yan.”
“Chen Yan?” Lu Miao imdiately guessed the identity of the prominent figure frequently seen on the news.
Fu Jingshen nodded, “The news has been suppressed. My grandfather wishes to delay the revelation for a few more years.”
Chen Yan is a close friend and right-hand man of Fu Jingshen’s grandfather. His position is crucial, and if news of his illness were to break, it would undoubtedly lead to controversy.
Elder Sun snorted and turned to the nearby laboratory bench to grab a prescription, tossing it to Fu Jingshen.
“Trv this first and I’ll discuss other imorovent thods with Elder Wen.” he
said.
Lu Miao glanced at the prescription in his hand but remained silent. After exchanging greetings with the others, Fu Jingshen prepared to leave.
“I’ll accompany you,” Lu Miao said directly.
Fu Jingshen provocatively raised an eyebrow at Gu Shiyan and walked out with Lu Miao.
“Oh, have you finally realized that you want to leave Gu Shiyan and develop with ?” he teased.
Lu Miao couldn’t be bothered to entertain his childish banter and simply asked,
“Has the bracelet been made?”
“Yes, we have it, but the spatial array inside it is not carved well, so the effect isn’t as good as yours,” Fu Jingshen honestly replied.
They had made nurous attempts over the past few days, but the bracelet they created could only hold about one-tenth of what Lu Miao’s bracelet could. This was the best result they had achieved so far, despite many failures.
“I’ll have soone send one to . I’ll send you the address later,” Lu Miao said coldly.
Without saying another word, Lu Miao turned around and walked away, leaving Fu Jingshen behind.
He chuckled and shook his head. This girl is really cold.
On the way back, Lu Miao sat in the back seat, gazing thoughtfully out the window.
Through the rearview mirror, Gu Shiyan glanced at her and pursed his lips before speaking.
“Do you really like Fu Jingshen?”
Lu Miao snapped out of her thoughts, pondered for a mont, and nodded.
“He’s alright. Decisive and efficient when it cos to handling things, competent, and with a decent character.”
In the tech company, she rely provided so small items, and he imdiately gave her a 50% stake without any hassle or complications. It was hard to find such a generous and hassle-free business partner.
Gu Shiyan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened to the point of almost breaking as he heard Lu Miao add, “He’s reliable when it cos to getting things done.”
Finding him to get things done?
The tension in the car instantly dissipated as Gu Shiyan tapped his finger on the steering wheel. “In the future, if you need anything, you can co directly to .”
“Oh,” Lu Miao nodded.
Gu Shiyan was in a good mood. He took Lu Miao to a restaurant for lunch and just returned to the villa when he received a call and hurriedly left again.
Fu Jingshen acted swiftly and had the bracelet quickly delivered.
Lu Miao inspected it, made so changes to the spatial formation inside, and added a protective charm and a calming mantra.
Just as she finished, she received a tearful call from Su Mo.
“Boss, please co back and see for yourself. Shen Muhuan’s condition worsened after the surgery, and he’s been in a coma for several days. The doctors say he may beco a vegetative state.”
“Understood. I’ll co back right away.”
Lu Miao’s voice turned grave as she hung up the phone and swiftly packed her things.
After leaving a note on the table for Gu Ziheng and Gu Shiyan, she left the house, hailed a taxi, and went to the airport.
She booked the earliest flight back to Luo City during the journey.
She rushed back tirelessly, getting off the plane and taking a taxi directly to the hospital with her luggage.
Outside, the sky had already turned dark. In the cold hospital room, Shen Muhuan lay motionless on the bed, connected to various machines, his eyes tightly shut.
Shen Muhan’s mother sat by the bedside, silently shedding tears, while Shen’s father held her shoulders, consoling her in silence.
Upon seeing Lu Miao enter the room, Shen’s mother opened her mouth as if she wanted to say sothing, but tears kept streaming down her face. Her guilt and sorrow rendered her speechless.
She deeply regretted not waiting for Lu Miao before proceeding with Shen Muhuan’s surgery. It was her lack of trust in Lu Miao and her disregard for Shen Muhuan’s wishes that forced her son into the operating room.
If they hadn’t gone through with the surgery, her son would still be conscious.
Lu Miao sighed inwardly and approached. “Auntie, may I check on Shen Muhuan’s condition?”
Shen’s mother nodded.
Lu Miao stepped forward and held Shen Muhuan’s wrist, carefully feeling his pulse with her fingertips. She then gently lifted his head to examine the back of his neck.
Turning to Mrs Shen, she asked, “Did you use the ointnts I gave you according to the instructions?”
Upon hearing this, a glimr of hope ignited in Mrs Shen’s heart. She hurriedly approached and grabbed Lu Miao’s arm.
“I did, I did! Every day, I followed your instructions and applied the ointnts to him, massaging as you advised. Is there still hope in traditional Chinese dicine?”
Although she initially didn’t believe in the effectiveness of Lu Miao’s thods, she still followed the instructions out of gratitude for Lu Miao’s goodwill and consulted traditional Chinese dicine experts regarding the ointnts. Upon learning that they were indeed beneficial to Shen Muhuan’s recovery and contained many valuable dicinal ingredients, she faithfully applied them to him every day as instructed by Lu Miao.
Lu Miao shook her head. “I can try acupuncture, but given his current condition, I can only guarantee that it won’t worsen, not that he will fully recover.”
“Alright, please give it a try, ” Mrs Shen imdiately agreed without hesitation.
At this point, they had nothing to lose and everything to gain from trying.
“I need to remove all these devices from his body first,” Lu Miao stated firmly.
Mrs Shen hesitated for a mont but clenched her teeth and nodded. “Okay.” Lu Miao approached and carefully removed the ventilator and other devices.
Then, with the help of Shen Muhan’s father, she turned Shen Muhuan over onto his stomach on the bed.
As she prepared to start the acupuncture, the door of the hospital room suddenly swung open..
