Chapter 325: 325: Troublesome Zhan Jingshu
Mu Qiuniang placed Zhan Jingshu at the end not because of the injuries on his body, but because of the "Innate Spiritual Energy" within him.
As soon as she reached the hospital entrance, she felt that Zhan Jingshu’s Innate Spiritual Energy had gone awry. If the issue wasn’t resolved quickly, Zhan Jingshu might not live to see tomorrow’s sun.
The only solution was to help Zhan Jingshu absorb the Innate Spiritual Energy. This absorption process would take a considerable amount of time, far from being resolved in a day or two.
Thus, if she prioritized solving Zhan Jingshu’s "Innate Spiritual Energy" issue first, what would happen to Mu Bai, whose injuries, though not as severe, still posed a life-threatening risk?
Before she could finish dealing with Zhan Jingshu’s matter, Mu Bai might not hold on and could end up meeting the King Yan directly.
Hence, Mu Qiuniang estimated that treating Mu Bai would take no more than half an hour, while an earlier or later start on Zhan Jingshu’s treatment wouldn’t cause significant problems.
It was for this reason that she entered Mu Bai’s operating room without hesitation.
The hospital was sufficiently large, with multiple operating rooms allowing several simultaneous surgeries without issue. After coming out of Mu Bai’s operating room, Mu Qiuniang called Mu Mingyu aside and told him that she needed a room where she might stay with Zhan Jingshu for three to seven days, and that during that period no one was allowed to disturb her.
"Alright, Auntie Grandmaster. Do you need an operating room or simply a private room?"
"A private room!" The tools in the operating room were essentially useless to her, and she didn’t know how to use most of them anyway.
Whether rescuing Mu Cheng or Mu Bai before, it appeared as if she was using surgical tools, but in truth, she was saving lives with her silver needles and Spiritual Power. The needles stopped the bleeding, the Spiritual Power cleaned wounds, healed injuries, and extended lives.
Mu Qiuniang went straight into Zhan Jingshu’s ward. Without saying a word, she incapacitated all the doctors and nurses with pressure points, pierced several silver needles into the unconscious Zhan Jingshu, fed him a Life Extending Pill, and carried him away.
Mu Mingyu had just wrapped up his phone call and arranged for a VIP room when he saw Auntie Grandmaster carrying the Zhan family’s young master in her arms like a princess and walking out. He was momentarily stunned.
Auntie Grandmaster, could you maybe be a little less unrestrained? When the Zhan young master wakes up, he *will* wake up!
Honestly, he felt the urge to take out a camera and secretly snap a picture for posterity.
Zhan Jingshu was more gifted than he was in cultivation; Mu Mingyu might never catch up to him in the future. He thought it would be amusing to keep such photos so that he could tease the "future genius" when he was an old man.
Of course, this remained just a thought. At a time like this, he wouldn’t seriously pull such a prank!
Before they made it to the advanced VIP room, a hospital administrator appeared, explaining that the director was in a meeting and couldn’t step away, so he had been sent to handle matters instead. He asked Mu Mingyu to please not take offense.
"Our director said he’d come personally to apologize after his meeting," the administrator explained.
"No need. A director’s meeting is important, and I won’t mind. I merely need an advanced VIP room for a week. During this time, I don’t want anyone interfering with this room," Mu Mingyu replied.
"Yes, yes, yes. Don’t worry; the arrangements have already been made. This way, please." The administrator personally led the way.
The doctors and nurses following the administrator couldn’t help but sneak glances at Mu Mingyu and Mu Qiuniang, who was carrying Zhan Jingshu.
One of the nurses was a fan of Mu Qiuniang, and at first glance, she immediately recognized her, barely restraining herself from screaming out loud.
Oh my god?! The goddess Mu Qiuniang is truly here?!
Wait, where’s the male idol?
Oh, right! The goddess is holding someone in her arms! This person looks bloodied and seriously injured. Could it be Jiang Nuo?
The nurse peeked several times, confirming that the injured boy was much younger than Jiang Nuo. It was definitely not him.
If it wasn’t Jiang Nuo, then who was the person Mu Qiuniang was carrying?
Could it be that Mu Qiuniang had been hired to treat this boy? Was he a relative of "Mr. Mu"?
Wait a minute, "Mr. Mu" also shares the surname Mu...
The nurse felt as though she had discovered a whole new continent. Although Mu Qiuniang didn’t seem to physically resemble Mr. Mu, the two shared the same surname. Could they actually be related?
Then who was this boy?
Mu Qiuniang’s nephew?
While her thoughts ran wild, they finally arrived at their destination.
After Mu Mingyu saw Mu Qiuniang and Zhan Jingshu into the room, he stood outside the door, preventing anyone else from entering. "Alright! This area is now under our care. Please stay back," Mu Mingyu instructed.
"Mr. Mu, that person seems seriously injured. Are you sure you don’t need to arrange for a doctor to examine him?" the administrator asked with some concern.
Given the severity of the injuries, the administrator worried that the boy might not make it. He wasn’t concerned about much else; rather, he feared the consequences of someone dying in their hospital—how could they ever explain it away?
Even if it was a prominent family, the hospital wouldn’t be able to withstand the public backlash.
"No need; that person is the doctor," Mu Mingyu replied.
"That person?" The administrator was skeptical. Dressed in an ancient-style gown with delicate fingers, she looked every bit the sheltered young lady from a noble family. Could such a person know medical skills?
Forgive him; he was an older middle-aged man who didn’t frequent the internet and thus hadn’t recognized Mu Qiuniang.
"We accept full responsibility for all outcomes," Mu Mingyu stated firmly and even recorded his words. "Does this put your mind at ease?"
The administrator felt slightly embarrassed, replying, "That’s not what I meant. It’s just that the patient’s condition appears critical, and I thought immediate medical attention might be necessary. That’s why—"
Mu Mingyu interrupted him, saying, "I understand your concerns, and I’m not blaming you for them. I recorded my words just to reassure you. Oh, one more thing: the patient was taken straight from the operating room by our Auntie Grandmaster. Your doctors and nurses may still be unconscious in the operating room, so you might need to check on them. I apologize on behalf of our Auntie Grandmaster for her recklessness, but human lives are at stake and urgency dictated our actions. I hope you won’t take it to heart."
"..." The administrator froze in shock.
What?!
Taken straight from the operating room?!
Their doctors and nurses are unconscious?!
Quickly, he called for people to check the operating room and assess the situation. The worst-case scenario wasn’t the patient not being treated—it would be the hospital’s own staff being incapacitated!
The nurse who had recognized Mu Qiuniang quietly mused: Mu Qiuniang is truly formidable, isn’t she? She dared to snatch a patient directly from the operating room! Just how confident must she be to believe she could save someone that even the operating room couldn’t?
Wait—should she tell the administrator who Mu Qiuniang really was?
Whether or not the nurse chose to enlighten the administrator remained unknown, but inside the advanced VIP room, Mu Qiuniang placed Zhan Jingshu on the bed and immediately stripped off all his clothes.
Not even his underwear was spared.
Fortunately, Jiang Nuo wasn’t present. Otherwise, that jealous fellow would surely cause a huge commotion.
Equally fortunate was Zhan Jingshu’s unconscious state. Were he to learn that his master had stripped him, who knows how embarrassed he’d become.
Oh my god! He’s still a virgin!
