Chapter 221 - Number One Doctor
Chapter 221: Number One Doctor
After some static, a youthful face appeared. “Damn, Dugu Yusheng you don’t look that bad! Why do you always fail to show during our meet-ups?”
Dugu Yusheng raised his brows, his eyes cold and harsh. “I asked where are you?”
He repeated his question.
As if he could feel Dugu Yusheng’s agitation, Gideon stopped his chattering and looked around him. “I am at the airport changing flights, on my way to Corsi Island. Do you think I am like Apollo and Bai Yi? With private jets to bring them wherever they want to go…”
“Good, that you are already at the airport. Come to the International Association first.” Dugu Yusheng cut in.
“Why?” Gideon raised his brows.
Dugu Yusheng’s eyes darkened. “Something happened to her.”
There was no need to mention which “her” he was referring to.
Anyone in their group would know.
Gideon was still at the airport, air ticket in hand and queuing up to board his flight.
He was completely stunned the moment Dugu Yusheng said those words.
“Mister?” The lady behind him in the queue piped up in a small voice when she noticed him standing there motionless for a long time. Her face was all red, as this guy standing in front of her was just too handsome.
Gideon turned. His face was really very attractive.
Dressed in a white jacket.
He had an undeniable elegance.
Even when smiling, he still gave off a sense of aloofness.
“I am sorry.” Gideon finally snapped out of his trance. He took a step back and allowed the lady to go first.
Gideon looked down at his air ticket. Without any hesitation, he threw it into a nearby dustbin.
He put on a pair of sunglasses as he exited.
His lips were curled up in a smile, but if anyone who knew him well saw it, they would definitely notice that smile was different from his usual one.
Dugu Yusheng disconnected the call.
Turning to look at the emergency room, he lit a cigarette, completely disregarding the no smoking rule in hospitals. His expression remained impassive, as always.
“What happened?” Dugu Yusheng glanced at Yu Xiangyang and the gang.
He was so well-informed that he knew very well who Yu Xiangyang and the gang were.
Yu Xiangyang clenched his fists, an air of malevolence rising in his eyes. “This is definitely no simple accident.”
Every single person who could enter the potion room was part of the elite. How could an explosion possibly happen? Especially if the person involved was Su Huiqing.
Especially as Su Huiqing didn’t manage to escape.
This was what raised his suspicions the most.
He knew very well how formidable Su Huiqing was.
Even he could have jumped down from the window under such circumstances, not to mention Su Huiqing.
But Su Huiqing didn’t. And she had fallen into an inexplicable coma.
Yu Xiangyang was most suspicious about this part.
Whoever was behind this had better clean up their act. Either way, they were dead meat!
“Okay.” Dugu Yusheng nodded. He also guessed it must have been no accident. “We must investigate this matter thoroughly.”
This concerned Su Huiqing.
Dugu Yusheng would not let things go that easily.
Especially the fact that she was injured. He was very shocked by this. Dugu Yusheng lowered his eyes to conceal the malevolence in them.
He tucked his hands into his pocket and looked at Xie Zhengyuan. Blowing out a puff of smoke, he lowered his voice. “Call Chi Yue. Have him get all surveillance footage on Monster University’s potion building.
“Got it.” Xie Zhengyuan started typing on his cell phone.
His eyes were also harsh and sharp.
There were some things which he knew to do, even without being instructed.
He was not that familiar with Chi Yue, but there was Doctor Luxe.
These people were very efficient in carrying out their tasks.
“These… who are these people?” Su Zhi finally snapped out of his trance and looked at the people nearby.
“I don’t know.” One of the directors shuddered. “But that looks like someone from the Dugu Family. You know the Dugu Family are like kings in the International Association.”
Su Zhi felt a bit dizzy.
Su Ruohua and Su Family were helpless in such a situation.
As naive as they might be, even they knew these people were not ordinary folks.
Especially Dugu Yusheng. The doctors and the investigative officers from the International Police all behaved very cautiously around Dugu Heng. But Dugu Heng himself treated Dugu Yusheng with deference. The difference was obvious.
Su Zhi and the gang followed behind Xie Zhengyuan.
They were somewhat fearful toward the bunch of people in the corridor.
Even Dugu Heng looked somewhat shocked and flustered.
Dugu Yusheng.
There was no way Dugu Heng would fail to recognize him. He narrowed his eyes. “Why are you here?”
According to circumstances, Dugu Yusheng should not be here. He was extremely shocked at the fact that Dugu Yusheng was still in the International Association.
Shock aside, there was a sliver of fear hidden within his eyes.
“The Head of the Dugu Family is allowed to be here but I am not?” Dugu Yusheng raised his brows and smirked at Dugu Heng. His smile didn’t reach his eyes.
The Dugu Family butler arrived at this moment. “Sir, the Ye Family’s potion maker is here.”
“Have him go in immediately!” Dugu Heng regained his composure. He didn’t wish to bother talking to Dugu Yusheng anymore.
He had personally used his own name to invite the Ye Family potion maker over.
He was very anxious about Su Huiqing’s condition, especially the fact that the doctors failed to find out the root cause. He had immediately dispatched his men to invite the Ye Family potion maker over.
The Ye Family’s potion maker was the most famous within the International Association.
The Ye Family potion maker also immediately hurried over after hearing that it was Dugu Heng who was asking for him. He thought he would be treating Dugu Wu and never expected to be saving a commoner. Nevertheless, he didn’t dare to let down his guard.
But the moment he put on his white lab coat, Yu Xiangyang, Qu Yan and gang immediately blocked the doorway.
“What are you guys doing?” Dugu Heng was taken aback.
Gu Li shot Yu Xiangyang a look before glancing at Dugu Heng with chilly eyes. “Sorry, we don’t trust people from the Ye Family.”
They remembered very clearly how Grandpa Yu died.
The Ye Family potion maker had never been treated like this before.
But he didn’t dare to show his displeasure in front of Dugu Heng. He just looked at him. “Master Dugu…”
“Since they object, then we won’t use you.” Dugu Heng conceded in a low voice, as he scanned the faces of Yu Xiangyang and the gang. “You may leave.”
He chose to trust the people by Su Huiqing’s side. He believed they would not disappoint him.
Every single person standing in the corridor was a noteworthy figure. None of them were worth offending, especially Dugu Heng. The hospital director’s legs turned to jelly when he looked over the crowd.
“Master Dugu, all the doctors are here now.” The hospital director was very respectful.
They had all gone to treat Dugu Wu right from the start. On hearing about Dugu Heng’s arrival, they had heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he was here to see Dugu Wu.
But they didn’t expect Dugu Heng to be visiting someone whom they had never heard before.
For a moment there, they had no time to bother about the Dugu Family matriarch anymore, and immediately rushed over.
They feared that they might lose their lives if they were just a second later.
Unfortunately, the director’s words reminded Dugu Heng of his earlier vexation. He kicked him in the chest, rage filling his eyes. “This is a matter of life and death! Is this how you do things in the hospital? Concerned only about treating Dugu Wu while disregarding the other two students?!”
The hospital director didn’t know what else to do except to plead for mercy. “Master Dugu, please give us another chance. We will save this young miss!”
At this moment, a cool and imperious voice sounded out. “Pfft! Can you really save her? You have pronounced her brain dead and still claim to be able to save her?!”
Everyone looked in that direction.
The lift door had just opened.
A figure clad in a pure white outfit stepped out.
He was playing with a pristine steel scalpel in his hands.
Dugu Yusheng immediately recognized him.
Gideon was the Number One Doctor. He was the epitome of a healer.
He had gained fame from the young age of 13. That was over a decade ago, and since then, he had saved countless lives on the International Battlefield.
More importantly, he was Apollo’s personal savior
Apollo was in the firearms business and suffered countless injuries from all sorts of scuffles. It was Gideon who dragged him back from the clutches of death every single time.
It could be said that if not for Gideon, Apollo would have already died many times over.
Nobody knew how the Number One Terrorist in the world got to be such good friends with the Number One Doctor.
But Gideon’s position as the Number One Doctor was indisputable.
Even though they have never met, Dugu Yusheng instantly recognized him at first glance.
