Old Gao was indeed appeased by Chu Luo’s words. He said, “Then check it again. Anyway, I don’t believe that there’s anything in my brain.”
Chu Luo nodded and said to the doctor, “Take my teacher for another checkup.”
The doctor gave the two of them a complicated look and nodded. “Alright.”
After saying that, he quickly opened his records and said to a nurse beside him, “Little Zhu, go inform the CT departnt.”
The nurse took the sheet and left quickly.
Another doctor and nurse ca over to push Old Gao’s bed.
Old Gao couldn’t stand seeing Mrs. Gao wiping her tears and said to her, “You just like to worry. Chu Xiao Luo must have been called over by you. There’s nothing wrong with at all. Aren’t you wasting her ti?”
“I…” Mrs. Gao looked at Chu Luo. She wanted to ask how she had arrived so quickly, but she felt that it wouldn’t be good to ask this in front of so many people, so she shut up.
Chu Luo said, “Teacher Gao, speak less if you’re dizzy.”
Old Gao was displeased with Chu Luo’s words. “Do you think I’m talking too much?”
Chu Luo nodded straightforwardly. “Yes!”
“You…” Old Gao choked and glared at her fiercely.
The doctors and nurses standing at the side were amused by their interaction.
Old Gao was pushed to the CT room downstairs, where the professional CT technicians were already prepared.
While doing a CT scan for Old Gao, Chu Luo’s gaze was on the monitor.
The doctor pointed at the thumb-sized dot. “Look here. It’s obviously a tumor.”
Chu Luo leaned over to look at it carefully for a while, before saying with certainty, “There’s a two-milliter difference between this thing and the spot on that previous CT scan.”
“Is that so?” The doctor craned his neck in surprise to take a closer look. When he saw that it was indeed so, he was shocked. “What’s going on? Can tumors walk?”
Chu Luo thought for a while and suddenly had an idea.
She stood up and said to the doctor, “You’d better wait until tonight or tomorrow to do a checkup.”
The doctor thought so too and nodded.
After the CT scan, Old Gao was pushed back into the ward.
Old Gao wasn’t willing to stay in the hospital at all. He argued, “I feel like I’m fine now. I have a few classes this afternoon. The students are still waiting for to go back to class.”
When Mrs. Gao heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to slap him. “Do you want to die? You still want to go back to class at this ti?”
“I’m already fine.”
Old Gao’s stubborn temper flared up and he insisted that he was fine.
It was obvious that he couldn’t feel anything.
The doctor also advised him.
Old Gao looked at Chu Luo expectantly. “Chu Xiao Luo, tell if I can go back to class. I really don’t feel unwell at all.”
After saying that, he got off the bed and walked around to prove it to them.
The doctors and Mrs. Gao quickly pressed him down and didn’t let him get up.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said to Mrs. Gao and the doctor, “Mrs. Gao, doctors, go out for a while. I’ll talk to Teacher Gao.”
Mrs. Gao glanced at Chu Luo and felt that Chu Luo would have better luck persuading him. She nodded and went out with the doctor.
When the ward door closed, Old Gao spoke first. “Chu Xiao Luo, don’t think about persuading . I know best how my body is. There’s really nothing wrong with .”
“I believe you.”
Old Gao finally felt a little more at ease. “Then go and persuade my wife and the doctors. I don’t want to stay here. I agreed to help Teacher Zhu, who went to a neighboring school for a eting today. Also, I myself have a class. This is really…”
“This won’t do.”
While Old Gao was fuming, Chu Luo said, “Even if you’re not sick, you have to rest today.”
“I…”
“I can go to class on your behalf.”
“Hey…”
Chu Luo said, “As long as you promise that you’ll lie in bed today. It’s best if you take an afternoon nap first. I’ll go to class on your behalf.”
After staring at Chu Luo for a few seconds, Old Gao pulled the blanket and closed his eyes. He said, “Then why are you still standing here? Go quickly. The teaching materials are on the desk in my living room. Today you should be teaching…”
Chu Luo looked at Old Gao in amusent. A red light entered Old Gao’s glabella.
In the next second, Old Gao fell asleep.
Chu Luo looked at Old Gao and said, “Teacher Gao, I wanted to see if that thing in your brain is what I guessed. You definitely won’t be able to stand it later. Sorry.”
After saying that, she took out the copper bell from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch.
The first ti the bell shook, the entire room was enveloped by a barrier.
Then, the bell shook a second ti and a third ti.
When she shook it a fifth ti, Old Gao’s face suddenly contorted in pain.
Chu Luo stared at the top of Old Gao’s head. Indeed, a bump appeared in a certain place.
As if sothing was struggling inside.
Old Gao’s twisted face beca even more twisted. Soon, blood flowed from his mouth and nose.
Chu Luo suddenly stopped what she was doing and quickly took out a silver needle to insert into an acupuncture point on his head.
Chu Luo’s expression was also extrely ugly, and her body quickly exuded strong anger. “To think you used a Gu worm made from a coil sucking worm. What a sinister thod!”
She shook the bell a few more tis before the bump on Old Gao’s head disappeared. Only then did his expression improve.
Chu Luo stood there and thought for a while. There were only two ways to get the Gu worm made from the coil sucking worm out of Old Gao’s brain.
The first thod was to freeze that Gu worm. Otherwise, if the countless feelers on the Gu worm moved, many nerves would be destroyed. When that happened, even an immortal wouldn’t be able to save Old Gao.
In order to freeze that Gu worm, one had to confirm what the Gu worm was fed and where it was fed.
The second thod was to find the person who cast the Gu poison and get him to cure it.
At the thought of this, Chu Luo’s expression turned even uglier.
She removed the barrier.
At this mont, her phone suddenly rang.
Chu Luo quickly took out her phone. It was a call without a number.
Chu Luo had turned on settings on her phone to block out calls from unknown numbers. The fact that this call could co in proved that an expert had hacked into her phone.
At the thought of this, Chu Luo narrowed her eyes.
She swiped the answer button and a cold chanical voice sounded. “Don’t waste your energy. The Gu poison in Gao Jiuyun was fed from the ancient tomb. If you want to save him, you can only go to the ancient tomb to find a way to remove the Gu poison.”
Chu Luo hung up the phone and quickly tracked down the caller. However, she realized that the call was from the telecom headquarters.
At this point, Chu Luo quickly called Li Yan.
Li Yan picked up the call imdiately.
“Luoluo, what happened?”
Chu Luo told him about this.
When Li Yan heard this, he didn’t speak imdiately. Instead, she heard the sound of fingers typing on the keyboard.
After more than ten seconds, he said, “Soone controlled one of the devices in the telecom headquarters to call you.”
Chu Luo’s expression froze. “Who has such ability?”
Li Yan: “It’s either soone who can control the telecoms headquarters or soone who has the ability to dodge the people and equipnt there and control one of the devices.”
Chu Luo frowned.
Li Yan asked her, “Can you remove the worm in your teacher’s brain?”
Chu Luo said, “Not for now. The Gu worm was fed in an ancient tomb. There must be corpse poison in the Gu worm’s body. Once the Gu worm dies, the corpse poison will spread to Teacher Gao’s brain. Now, we can only go to the ancient tomb and find a kind of grass that can freeze the Gu worm.”
Li Yan was silent for a few seconds before asking, “How long can you keep the Gu worm from acting up?”
Chu Luo replied, “A month at most.”
Li Yan: “I’ll get soone to prepare a helicopter to pick you up. Where are you now?”
Chu Luo thought for a while. “I promised Teacher Gao to help him with his class.”
Li Yan: “Okay.”
After hanging up, Chu Luo sat at the side and thought for a while. She thought of sothing and sneered. “Looks like soone wants you to go to that ancient tomb.”
At the thought of this, she had already guessed sothing.
She dipped a tissue into the water and wiped off the blood from Old Gao’s mouth and nose. Then, she pulled out the silver needles from his head and walked over to open the door.
Mrs. Gao, who was standing outside the door, asked anxiously, “Chu Luo, have you persuaded Old Gao?”
Chu Luo nodded. “Teacher Gao is already asleep.”
She then said, “You don’t have to do a checkup on Teacher Gao for the ti being this afternoon. Yan will co and bring Teacher Gao to the capital later. We’ll get him treated there.”
When Mrs. Gao heard this, she didn’t know if she should be happy or sad. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and said, “Then I’ll go back and pack for Old Gao.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Mrs. Gao, I’ll leave with you. I promised to teach on Teacher Gao’s behalf… Also, I’ll help Teacher Gao apply for two months of leave later.”
“Okay.”
Before Chu Luo left with Mrs. Gao, she left a small paper effigy to protect him in the ward.
As they walked to the hospital parking lot, Mrs.. Gao asked Chu Luo worriedly, “Little Chu, tell . Can Old Gao be cured?”
