Are you playing us for fools?” Su Tiantian’s eyes widened in shock as she turned to Lv Zhong, unable to hold back an arrogant scream, “Kid, I’m warning you. Don’t mistake our kindness for weakness. If you cross us, your fate won’t be good.” With a belly full of fire, Su Tiantian couldn’t bear her anger anymore. Her finger was almost poking Lv Zhong’s nose. “Shut up!” Du Wenlong glared fiercely at Su Tiantian. Despite his usual elegant demeanor, his gaze turned icy cold on Lv Zhong. He couldn’t understand why the miracle doctor who had agreed just now was suddenly reneging on his word. Like Su Tiantian said, he too felt that Lv Zhong was playing them. Meanwhile, Du Wenlong’s two bodyguards walked into the ward with unfriendly faces filled with rage. They had followed Du Wenlong for a long time and had received great kindness and help from him. They loved Du Wenlong, a truly good person, and felt infuriated by Lv Zhong’s sudden refusal to treat him to the point of almost lashing out at Lv Zhong. Suppressing his dissatisfaction towards Lv Zhong, Du Wenlong cast him a deep glance and said with a bitter smile, “Senior, even if you don’t want to treat me, you should at least tell me why.” “Yes, why exactly? If President Du doesn’t have cancer as you said, it should be even easier to treat him, shouldn’t it? Why would you reject him?” Doctor Zhang Xiande hurriedly chimed in to support Du Wenlong. Upon hearing this, Cheng Yingnuo, Cheng Lin, and Cheng Feng gathered curiously around Lv Zhong, their gazes full of bewilderment. Ignoring Du Wenlong, Lv Zhong scanned Doctor Zhang Xiande and the others before speaking after a while: “He doesn’t have bladder cancer, but he has been cursed with the ‘Heart and Mind Gu’—a love curse from Miaojiang—” “A Gu?” Cheng Feng exclaimed in disbelief, “How is this possible? Such things exist in the modern society as they do in martial arts novels?” The nearby Doctor Zhang Xiande and Cheng Yingnuo had also heard of the word “Gu”. However, as practitioners of Western Medicine, they didn’t know much about Chinese folklore and had no idea what the ‘Heart and Mind Gu’ represented. “Puff!” Meanwhile, Du Wenlong couldn’t help reeling back in surprise at the mention of the word “Gu”, spurting out a mouthful of blood. He staggered and almost fell, but his quick-reacting bodyguards held him upright. “Ah! Honey, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me…” Su Tiantian screamed, rushing over to Du Wenlong. Her plump body surprisingly agile, she reached Du Wenlong’s side instantly with tears in her eyes. “I won’t die just yet!” Du Wenlong took a deep breath and said calmly. With a mocking smile, Lv Zhong glanced at Du Wenlong. “Indeed, you won’t die just yet. But the Miao girl who cursed you can only hold out for about a month. Once she dies, you’ll die too. Hehe, the Heart and Mind Gu… it requires unity of heart and dictates unity of fate. You should thank that Miao girl for giving you thirty additional years… ” “Dang, dang, dang…” Out of control, Du Wenlong took several steps back with a deathly pallor on his face, a strong wave of guilt rising in his heart. He spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. The deathly aura around Du Wenlong thickened ominously. “Bastard, if anything happens to my husband, I’m going to make your family pay with their lives…” Su Tiantian, supporting Du Wenlong wailed hysterically, her face contorted with rage and madness. Not bothering with Su Tiantian’s threat, Lv Zhong shook his finger at her: “Making my whole family die for your husband? I doubt you’re capable of that. Frankly, without your husband, you are nothing. And here you are, parading around like some turkey.” Seeing Su Tiantian about to argue with Lv Zhong again, Doctor Zhang Xiande was thoroughly displeased with her. At this point, they should expend all efforts requesting medical aid from the doctor before them instead of arguing. This was not the time for a quarrel! Shaking his head secretly, Doctor Zhang Xiande asked quickly, “Senior, what exactly is this ‘Heart and Mind Gu’?” In his heart, he was naturally puzzled as to why Lv Zhong had chosen not to treat Du Wenlong upon confirmation of the Gu parasite’s presence in his body. Turning, Lv Zhong noticed that everyone present, except for Du Wenlong, was looking at him, clearly expecting his answer. He sighed and said, “People from Miaojiang excel at using ‘Gu’. However, they won’t use the Gu they raise on someone unless provoked. The ‘Heart and Mind Gu’ consists of a mother Gu and a child Gu, which are initially raised on the virgin blood of the Miao girls. If a man beds the Miao girl, the child Gu will naturally enter the man’s body. If the man genuinely cares for the Miao girl, the ‘Heart and Mind Gu’ will not strike and will instead benefit both parties, ensuring their health. However, if the man wrongs the woman, causing her emotional distress, it instantly triggers the ‘Heart and Mind Gu’. When the ‘Heart and Mind Gu’ is activated, it means death for both parties. Not only will the man who wronged her die, but the woman herself will also die on the spot…” Upon hearing these words, the men in the room couldn’t help but shiver—the Miao girls indeed seemed to be terrifying! Yet, Cheng Lin’s eyes sparkled like stars: If such a thing existed, she could also have a love relationship that embodies the concept “Hold your hand, and grow old with you”, and ‘sharing the same quilt when alive, and the same coffin when dead’! Lv Zhong was unaware of everyone’s thoughts. He continued, “This Heart and Mind Gu was cast onto Du Wenlong thirty years ago. In theory, Du Wenlong should have died when he left that Miao girl. However, not only did President Du marry this older sister here afterward, but he survived an extra thirty years without dying, do you know why?” seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Doctor Zhang Xiande, Cheng Yingnuo, and others didn’t understand the Gu or the Heart and Mind Gu specifically, and they shook their heads in confusion. “It’s obvious, that Miao girl is still deeply in love with Du Wenlong, and forcibly used her own vitality and blood to nourish the Heart and Mind Gu’s mother parasite which is inside her, preventing it from causing harm to her lover’s life. However, this approach would inevitably trigger the repulsion of the mother parasite. Her mental and physical energy would be doubly consumed and exhausted. When her essence and energy run low to a certain extent, the mother parasite’s repulsion will only grow stronger…” After deeply glancing at Du Wenlong, who was becoming increasingly guilty, Lv Zhong continued, “Du Wenlong’s recent discomfort is caused by the Miao girl’s increasing struggle to suppress the mother parasite inside her. Tsk tsk, President Du, you are lucky indeed to have a Miao girl love you so deeply that even after you betrayed her, she willingly used her life to protect you for thirty years—” At this point, Lv Zhong’s gaze became as sharp as a sword, piercing one’s heart. His gaze even made the fluorescent lights in the Special Care Ward seem dull in comparison. “I certainly can save you, Du Wenlong, I could even completely eradicate the parasite within you. However, once the parasite is exterminated, the Miao girl’s mother parasite will sense it and kill her straight away. Tell me, should I save you, or not?” Towards the end, Lv Zhong paused after every word. “Boom!” Upon understanding the entire situation, Du Wenlong felt as though he had been struck by lightning, overwhelmed by guilt and regret. “Wuwu, don’t save me, don’t save me. Senior, you don’t need to save me. Please go save Zhu’er. Even if it means losing all my fortune, I’m willing…” Du Wenlong suddenly fell to his knees in front of Lv Zhong, crying bitterly as he pleaded. At this moment, memories from long ago suddenly surged in his mind. Past promises of unbreakable bonds appeared vividly in his mind. Only then did he realize that he had always been deeply in love with the sentimental Miao girl. Thus, a strong man who had been working hard in the business world for many years knelt without care for his dignity in front of Lv Zhong. “A man’s tears should not flow easily, only when he is extremely grieved should he let them fall.” Now, Du Wenlong, being able to kneel for the woman who deeply loves him, also slightly moved Cheng Yingnuo and the others. However, at the same time, Cheng Yingnuo, Cheng Feng, and even Doctor Zhang Xiande were somewhat moved by the Miao girl. A woman, even when betrayed by her lover, used her own life to protect the heartless man who was oblivious of it all for thirty years. What a deeply emotional woman she must be! How could anyone possibly let down a woman with feelings as deep as the Yangtze River? Likewise, everyone approved of Du Wenlong’s decision to kneel. Even if he had to become bankrupt to save such a loving woman, what does it matter! Viewing it from a standpoint detached from that of Du Wenlong, Doctor Zhang Xiande, Cheng Yingnuo, Cheng Lin, and Cheng Feng all looked at Lv Zhong with eagerness, waiting for his consent. “If the Miao girl is saved, will you marry her?” Lv Zhong glanced at Su Tiantian standing to the side, then asked Du Wenlong in a rather tranquil tone. “This…” A moment of hesitation flashed across Du Wenlong’s face as he turned his head to look at Su Tiantian, his expression complicated. “No!” Du Wenlong firmly shook his head, then sincerely and solemnly said, “Even though Zhu’er is the one whom I love the most, I have missed my chance with her. We can only be considered as having the right fate but not the right destiny. Besides, since I have already married Tiantian, there is absolutely no way I will divorce her and marry Zhu’er. Doing so would be letting Tiantian down. However, no matter how much longer I live, I will make it up to Zhu’er a hundred or even a thousand times over…” Ever since Su Tiantian had heard about the Miao girl, her face had turned ashen with despair. She had always known that there was another woman in her husband’s heart, but she never knew that this woman loved Du Wenlong so deeply. For a moment, she was stunned. She also understood that she did not have the looks nor the background, she was basically just a village girl. The reason she was able to marry Du Wenlong was because her father had saved Du Wenlong’s life multiple times, and that Du Wenlong was in self-disregard due to reasons unknown in his love life, which allowed her to step in. Now that Du Wenlong knew that the woman in his heart loved him so deeply, he would surely want to rekindle their past relationship… (to be continued.
