Chapter 222: She Will Be Buried Alongside Her
“Gideon, go in and take a look at her.” Dugu Yusheng pointed at the emergency room, his expression very grave.
Seeing his manner and thinking about the person inside.
Gideon stood motionless outside for a moment.
As if confirming that this was really happening.
Dugu Yusheng didn’t urge him, but just continued leaning against the wall, smoking.
A moment later, Gideon finally pushed open the door and entered. He didn’t say anything and didn’t even change into clean scrubs.
“Is that guy inside dependable?” Dugu Heng patted Su Ruohua on the shoulder as he looked at Dugu Yusheng.
Su Ruohua also turned to look nervously at Dugu Yusheng.
The hospital director, Yu Xiangyang and the rest too had their eyes fixed upon him.
Dugu Yusheng was not bothered at all, even with so many people staring at him. He lit another cigarette in an indifferent manner.
His gaze never left the emergency room, but his voice was serene. “That’s Gideon inside. Is that good enough for you?”
“Gideon?” Most of the people had no idea who that was.
But Dugu Heng and the hospital director knew very well.
“The great Gideon?” The hospital director looked very shocked.
Dugu Heng was also stunned. He gave Dugu Yusheng a meaningful glance before looking away.
These two knew, but Su Ruohua had no idea. She tightened her grip on Dugu Heng’s sleeve. “Who is Gideon? Does this mean Qingqing will be saved?”
“Don’t worry, with Gideon here, Qingqing will be fine.” Dugu Heng’s voice was very calm.
He had never met Gideon in person, but had heard the legends surrounding him.
Especially the stories of how he dragged Apollo back from the throes of death.
More importantly, Gideon had a strong backing.

Previously an influential big shot was seriously ill and even potion makers could not help him. He had no choice but to seek out Gideon.
But Gideon was a strange character and was picky about who he treated.
That big shot sent a bunch of men to capture Gideon.
But to everyone’s astonishment, within three minutes of Gideon’s capture, a team of secret agents arrived to retrieve Gideon and destroy the big shot’s entire island.
The whole incident created a major furore.
From then on, no one dared to force Gideon.
In recent years, Gideon had kept a low profile and there was no news about him at all. He had more or less disappeared for nearly a year.
Even Dugu Heng never expected to meet Gideon face to face.
He turned toward Dugu Yusheng. “Both you and Gideon know Qingqing?”
These were two formidable figures. Dugu Yusheng controlled all the information flow worldwide, while Gideon possessed miraculous medical skills and a powerful backing.
How did this step-daughter of his get to know such fearsome people?
Dugu Yusheng remained impassive. “Of course. We got to know each other after Ms. Dugu had me go bomb Ms. Su’s car. That time, if not for Ms. Su, I would have been in grave danger.”
Dugu Heng totally disregarded the part about Dugu Yusheng being in grave danger.
He just narrowed his eyes and asked, “Did you say that Dugu Wu wanted to bomb Qingqing’s car? What the hell happened?”
“You should ask Old Madam Dugu on why Master Yu wanted to lock the two of them up then.” Dugu Yusheng tucked his hands into his pockets, clearly not interested in explaining.
Dugu Heng’s face froze at the mention of the Dugu Family matriarch.
And she arrived just then.
“You are indeed here. Why did you summon Little Wu’s doctor away for this little wrench?!” The Dugu Family matriarch’s voice was cold as she stared at Dugu Heng incredulously.

Especially when she noticed Su Ruohua by his side.
The Dugu Family matriarch would usually never dare to speak to Dugu Heng in such a manner. But Dugu Wu’s life was in danger.
All the Dugu Family matriarch could think about was Dugu Wu. “Will you only be satisfied after my granddaughter dies?!”
From the moment the Dugu Family matriarch summoned all the doctors over to Dugu Wu, Dugu Heng had lost his last bit of patience with the old lady. “Be quiet. This is the emergency room.”
He already suspected whether this person before him was still the religious old lady he used to know.
“Emergency room? Little Wu is critically wounded, yet you refuse to visit her. Instead, you are here watching over this woman?” The Dugu Family matriarch’s voice was shrill with unspeakable rage.
Dugu Heng didn’t wish to argue anymore. He glanced sideways. “Take the Old Madam away from here!”
He didn’t really want to do this to the Dugu Family matriarch, but he had no choice at this moment.
Especially with what Dugu Yusheng said earlier.
The Dugu Family matriarch and Dugu Wu had wanted to bomb Su Huiqing’s car.
“Alright, you no longer need your own mother now that you have this slut?! I know it now. Only Little Wu and Su Huiqing were in that potion room at the time of the explosion. I will have the police investigate this matter thoroughly. It must be that slut’s daughter who tried to kill my Little Wu. I will never let Su Huiqing off if anything happens to my Little Wu!” The Dugu Family matriarch was vehement.
At this moment, the police captain hurried over and stuttered. “Master Dugu, a team of armed men are targeting Ms. Dugu’s ward right now. They said…”
“What did they say?” Dugu Heng’s heart gave a heavy thud.
The captain answered, “They said if Ms. Su doesn’t wake up, they would make sure Ms. Dugu is buried alongside her.”
