Gu Xiao gritted her teeth. This was a matter of life and death. If no one knew how to do it, she could only force herself to step out.

“Lin Xue Xue, dial 120… Gu Xiao, go to her room to see if there’s any medicine¹. People who have heart disease usually carry medicine with them,” Chu An said as he unbuttoned Aunty Wang’s clothes. He conducted a routine examination first, and after the examination, he immediately carried out cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

“Chu Yinan, the ambulance will be here soon!” Lin Xue said to Chu An after finishing her call.

“Chu An! I didn’t find the medicine!” Gu Xiao came out of the room, and searched Aunty Wang’s pockets again. “It’s nowhere to be found!”

At this time, Chu An was already slightly out of breath. He frowned deeply, “Then find a thin piece of cloth. I want to give her artificial respiration.”

“Here.” Gu Xiao immediately handed Chu An a handkerchief.

The irony was that there were so many adults here, yet the life and death of a single person was completely handed over to a group of children.

Meanwhile, Chu An had already repeated several sets of CPR and artificial respiration. The sound of ambulance sirens rang out from outside, and the medical staff raced upstairs, delivering Aunty Wang into the ambulance. Only then did everyone feel at ease.

“Gu Xiao…” Chen Li was still in a state of shock, and she was still sobbing softly on the sidelines.

“It’s fine, Chen Li. If Aunty Wang has seen everything, she will tell us the truth.” Gu Xiao comforted Chen Li, “Aunty Wang will definitely be fine. Don’t worry, she will clear your name.”

Nothing like this had happened in her last life, so it was clear that the production group was getting anxious.

At the same time, she surveyed the people around her, and her gaze lingered on Meng Fei for a while longer. It was impossible for someone with a heart condition not to have medicine with them at all times.

There was only one possibility—someone had hidden it. This person could only be Meng Fei, or the production team.

But no matter who it was, using a human life to create hype was a little too much. To use this kind of thing to increase the show’s highlights and viewership ratings, they had no bottom line at all.

Gu Xiao clenched her fists tightly.

The director watched the live bullet screen of his show, half of which was scolding Chen Li, and half of which was saying how handsome Chu An was. He was so happy that the corners of his lips curled up.

Gu Xiao suddenly felt very frightened, but this was human nature. There were indeed so many demons in this world.

And as for her? She looked at her own hands, and suddenly felt that she was really very weak. So what if she had once been an empress? So what if she had relived three lifetimes? She was still dominated by these despicable people who had power and capital.

Her body involuntarily trembled. Then, she felt a warm touch at the tips of her fingers.

Gu Xiao instinctively raised her head, and met Chu An’s bright eyes. His lips opened and closed.

He was saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Gu Xiao’s heart suddenly calmed down, and she began to consider her next move.

They had only been in the nursing home for a little over half a day, and so many things had already happened. It was hard not to suspect that there was a script.

Then what Gu Xiao Xiao should do now was to think of some way to make the audience suspect what had happened.

Thankfully, she was not alone now.

The ambulance sirens gradually faded into the distance, and when it could no longer be heard, Ji Yao’s figure suddenly appeared in the crowd. With a flustered expression, she asked, “I just saw an ambulance arrive. What happened?”

“Aunty Wang suddenly had a heart attack just now, and the ambulance was called over. Didn’t you hear such a loud commotion?” Lin Xue said in irritation. At the same time, she thought, ‘What are you acting for? Who knows what evil deed you were doing just now.’

“Ah! How could this be!” Ji Yao covered her mouth tightly, and asked in disbelief, “What happened?”

Meng Fei spread out her hands and said, “A particular someone should know very well.”

“Don’t be noisy. It has already happened, and now we can only pray that Aunty Wang is safe. By then, the truth would naturally come out.” After Lin Xue finished speaking, she pulled An Yang with her and returned to the room of the elder that she had to take care of.

“Lin Xue is right. Then, let’s go back too, Ji Yao.” Gu Xiao beckoned Ji Yao over, indicating for her to follow. Chu An walked a little faster, so that he could walk side by side with Gu Xiao.

Ji Yao frowned, but very quickly, she regained her peaceful expression.

In the room, Grandma Jin was resting with her eyes closed. When she heard their footsteps, she asked calmly, “What happened? I thought I heard the sound of an ambulance.”
