Chapter 837: Emotional Outburst!
Soon, the team escorting the Old Madam’s body appeared before everyone.
Lu Zhan stood at the front. Cries broke out among the crowd.
At the front hall of the Lu residence.
Lu Zhan stood in front of the coffin and looked at Lu Chengzhou. Then, he asked, “Have you not found Gu Mang yet?”
Lu Chengzhou looked down. His voice was hoarse and heavy. “Nope.”
If Gu Mang did not want anyone to find her, then no one would find her. But given her personality, she would not just leave without saying anything.
Lu Chengzhou reached up and tugged at his collar. He had searched all the places that he could think of.
Everywhere except the apartment at Capital University.
“I’ll come back at night to watch over Granny Lu,” Lu Chengzhou said before turning to leave.
Lu Zhan turned his head and watched his son walk away. He sighed.
This is so troublesome.
Lu Chengzhou walked past the gates of the Lu residence when his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Gu Si.
…
Meanwhile, on Jijing Island.
“Has Gu Mang contacted us?” Since last night, Huo Zhi had been holding onto a phone with only Gu Mang’s number saved on it.
He hadn’t been contacted at al yet.
“Nope,” the bald man answered respectfully. “The various bigshots in the capital did not manage to find Ms. Gu. The Gu family has not received any news.”
Huo Zhi frowned. “Not even Lu Chengzhou?”
“Yeah,” the bald man answered. “I heard that Red Scorpion is already expanding their operations and searching outside of the city.”
Huo Zhi leaned on the sofa and looked down. He tapped his fingers on the back of his phone and pondered.
Five minutes later he got up and walked out. “Off to the capital.”
…
On the other side.
Gu Si gave Yu Zhongjing and Yu Mufeng information about Gu Mang’s whereabouts.
Yu Zhongjing stopped worrying after learning that Gu Mang was fine.
Old Madam’s body had long since been taken away by the Lu family. Since he had nothing to handle at the hospital, he returned to the Yu family’s residence.
He intended to eat a good meal and take a good rest before heading to the research institute. In the past few days, he had been overworked due to the Old Madam’s condition. He had been working tirelessly such that he wore out his own body.
But when he thought about how Old Madam had been poisoned and how people were putting the blame on his master, he lost his appetite.
The people from Jijing Island had already taken action. If his master continued to go against Jijing Island, the people around her would perish one by one.
This time, it was Old Madam. Who would be next? Gu Si or Meng Jinyang…
Now, they could only hope that the results from the research institute would be released soon.
Yu Zhongjing forced himself to eat a little bit of food before going upstairs to rest. He had just reached the bottom of the stairs when his phone rang. He looked down and took out his phone. It was a video call from the medical research lab.
“What’s the matter?” Yu Zhongjing accepted the call and walked up the stairs.
The faces of the four people in charge of the various research teams appeared on screen.
“Mr. Yu, we have synthesized two substances,” one of them said.
When Yu Zhongjing heard this, he was instantly energized. He stopped midway on the stairs and his throat tensed up. “How is it?”
The other party shook his head and gave him a serious look. “One of the substances is stabilized, but it is a very toxic substance. The other one is very unstable. There is no way we can store it. It cannot coexist with the other three substances that we have tested.”
This meant that the experiment had failed. They had to restart and they still didn’t know when they would get a usable outcome.
Yu Zhongjing’s face looked sullen like never before.
At this moment he understood how capable Jijing Island was. They lived up to their international reputations.
“Ms. Gu…”
Just then, someone in the video turned his head and looked towards the door. When the other three research heads heard, they looked over subconsciously.
They saw Gu Mang standing at the entrance wearing a mask and a baseball cap. Only her exquisite eyes could be seen.
At the moment, her cold eyes were particularly dark, as if an emotional outburst could no longer be held in. Her emotions were breaking through the cage of forbearance and depression that was her counteance.
