Hearing Xu Xiangbei say he would apologize to both him and Gu Xinyan, Lu Yao laughed uproariously, looking at Xu Xiangbei with contempt and curiosity as if observing a monster in a zoo.
"You really know how to tell a joke. apologize to you and Gu Xinyan? You’re dreaming. I don’t know how good your dical skills are, but one thing I’m sure of is that there’s sothing wrong with your brain, thinking too highly of yourself. I really can’t understand why Dean Sun and others think you have high dical skills."
Just as Lu Yao was about to call Huang Qinghai on her phone, a strange pain exploded from her chest, feeling like hundreds of steel knives were stabbing her insides. The pain caused cold sweat to drip from her forehead, and her trembling hands dropped the phone onto the bed.
The pain gradually intensified, spreading through her body. She struggled to press the ergency bell and let out a piercing scream that drowned out the sound of the bell.
When the doctors and nurses arrived, she was trembling uncontrollably in pain, rolling on the bed with a contorted face, and her chest scratched with bloody marks by sharp fingernails, as if trying to dig her heart out.
No matter what thods or nurous drugs the doctors used, they couldn’t alleviate the pain coming from her internal organs.
Upon hearing the news, Director Zhou and Dean Sun rushed over. Seeing Lu Yao on the bed with popping veins, pale face, and looking like a ghost, they were also drenched in cold sweat.
"What on earth happened? Did she take the wrong dicine or get the wrong injection? She was perfectly fine just now."
The doctors, at their wits’ end, had to give her painkillers and sedatives to calm her down.
But as soon as the effects of the painkillers and sedatives slightly wore off, Lu Yao was awakened by the pain again, which was so excruciating she almost wanted to commit suicide.
The doctors were helpless, pacing like ants on a hot pan beside her bed, and her ear-piercing screams could be heard even from the hospital corridor.
While Lu Yao was in life-and-death pain, she heard Director Zhou suggesting bringing Xu Xiangbei in, which made her realize the aning behind Xu Xiangbei’s words when he left the ward.
Weakly, she said to Huang Qinghai, "Find Dr. Xu, tell him I want to apologize to him."
"The person who tied the bell must untie it," President Huang knew that Lu Yao’s unbearable pain was not unrelated to Xu Xiangbei, so he dialed Xu Xiangbei’s number.
"Younger Brother Xu, Lu Yao has already suffered a lot. Please co help treat her. She said she’s willing to apologize to Miss Gu."
Xu Xiangbei hadn’t gone far from the hospital; he was playing gas at a café next to the hospital.
Unforgiving, Xu Xiangbei said, "An apology is not enough. We demand the truth to be restored. She must write a detailed account of the whole event on her blog."
There was a mont of silence over the phone, probably because President Huang conveyed Xu Xiangbei’s demands to Lu Yao, and then a scream from Lu Yao ca through the line, prompting President Huang to hurriedly reply, "She agreed."
"Alright, I’ll be right over."
The Reversing Eight Needles can save lives or take them. Xu Xiangbei had left a trace of Inner Strength in Lu Yao’s ridians using the Reversing Eight Needles.
Western dicine cannot detect it. Unless soone with more advanced Inner Strength than Xu Xiangbei resolves it, even if Lu Yao dies from the pain, no one will know why.
When Xu Xiangbei returned to Lu Yao’s ward, the person she had been an hour ago seed completely transford. Then, she was radiant, with exquisite makeup and proudly beautiful.
But now, with disheveled hair, looking like a ghost, her face haggard, eyes filled with deep fear, if not restrained by a nurse, she would have jumped out of bed to kneel before Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei extended his finger and lightly pressed it against her wrist, which was trembling as if she’d been electrocuted.
Just this light touch, Lu Yao again felt like she’d been bitten by a mosquito, yet she trembled, lips quivering, unable to speak, with tears dried up long ago.
What assured Lu Yao was that the piercing pain that seed to stab at her internal organs dissipated, leaving a hint of a bitter smile on her pale face.
During this hour alone after Xu Xiangbei left, she felt worse than death, as if living in Avici Hell, suffering endless tortures over and over.
She huddled at the innermost part of the bed, trying to stay as far away from Xu Xiangbei as possible, looking at him as if seeing a ghost.
Throwing a laptop to Lu Yao, Xu Xiangbei said, "Now we should finally get to the truth, right?"
Lu Yao wrote on her blog about the incident during the morning celebration, how she deliberately fell to accuse Gu Xinyan falsely and battled for the lead actress role in Immortal Spirit Chronicles. She apologized publicly to Gu Xinyan and cleared her na.
After calling Gu Xinyan, Xu Xiangbei smilingly said, "Immortal Goddess, Lu Yao apologized to you and it’s even posted online, so don’t be mad anymore."
Seeing Lu Yao’s apology on her blog and proving her innocence, even though a bit of grievance lingered in her heart, Gu Xinyan felt much better.
Curiously, she asked, "Brother Xu, she was so an, plotting against to steal the female lead role in Immortal Spirit Chronicles. How did she clarify the truth and publicly apologize? What did you do to her?"
Xu Xiangbei smirked mischievously, "I made her suffer a little. I guarantee it was a hundred tis more painful than what you went through. I returned the suffering you endured to her twofold."
Gu Xinyan sighed lightly, pouting, "Well, even if she were killed, it wouldn’t make up for the harm I suffered. I accept her apology, I’m not angry anymore. You shouldn’t give her a hard ti either."
"Kind Immortal Goddess, what would you like to eat? I’ll buy so from the street for you."
In the background of the phone call, Lu Xiaoi’s voice could be heard, "I want to eat roast duck..."
Laughing, Gu Xinyan repeated Lu Xiaoi’s craving, and Xu Xiangbei sighed in resignation, "So many things, obviously all Lu Xiaoi’s wishes."
Standing beside the bed, Xu Xiangbei looked at the frail Lu Yao, "Gu Xinyan accepted your apology. I hope when you et on set in the future, it won’t be too awkward. If you want revenge, co find , but never provoke her again, or I’ll make you tear your heart out."
Frightened, Lu Yao shrank back, as during the excruciating pain, she indeed felt like clawing her chest open. She looked at her chest, seeing the red marks left by her nails on her fair chest.
She gritted her teeth, saying, "You’re not human. You’re a demon."
Xu Xiangbei responded with a cold laugh, "Indeed, to you, I am a devil who can take your life. But to so, I am an angel who can save theirs. Whether I am an angel or demon depends on your attitude towards . Rest well, Miss Lu Yao, until we et again."
