Chapter 605: Chapter 608: Fifth Lord Gu Answers Questions and Solves Problems
Gu Junzhu seemed to understand what she was thinking, reaching out to lightly stroke her back.
A casual touch smoothed out the sudden sorrow in Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei raised her eyes and smiled at him, which prompted Gu Junzhu to pat her head affectionately.
Chi Zhan barely held back, but eventually broke the peaceful moment, “I also think that the person Qingqing hates most should be Shi Muqiao…”
Regret and embarrassment covered his face, “but I’ve lost Shi Muqiao.”
“We could use Shi Qianying as a substitute for now,” Gu Junzhu suggested, “We will continue the search for Muqiao. I will ask my subordinates to assist in the search. You should also look for the medicine. Once you have all the medicine, we can use Shi Qianying for a trial. If it remains ineffective, we can only try our best to find Shi Muqiao.”
Chi Zhan’s eyes reddened, and he punched harshly at the air, “It’s all my fault. I’m too useless!”
Chi Yu patted his shoulder, “We were caught off guard. It’s a blessing that we didn’t lose you in the process. As long as Shi Muqiao is alive, we will be able to find her. Don’t worry.”
“What if Shi Muqiao gets silenced?” Chi Zhan looked at Yue Yaer, with reddened eyes, “If that happens, will my sister never wake up?”
Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but glance at Chi Qing.
Even though she was out of her mind, the Chi brothers had cleaned her up, making her look neat and pretty.
Her cheeks were chubby, childishly cute, with large eyes and curly eyelashes. She looked absolutely adorable, like a Barbie doll everyone would love.
She sat quietly on the sofa, neither crying nor making a fuss, being unusually well-behaved.
But her eyes were blank, staring into unknown spaces. No one knew where her mind was lost or what she was thinking at the moment.
If this girl couldn’t be cured and spent the rest of her life not recognizing people like an idiot, that would be such a shame.
Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but ask Yue Yaer, “If Shi Qianying doesn’t work, are there any other ways? Do we have to find Shi Muqiao?”
Yue Yaer pondered for a moment, then shook her head, “Not necessarily. I can also think of other ways.”
Seeing Chi Qing in such a state, Yaer, who was a girl of the same age, felt deeply sympathetic.
She would try her best to help Chi Qing.
Gu Junzhu suddenly said: “If a living person isn’t effective, a dead one could also work. If Shi Muqiao has been killed, finding her body can also stimulate Chi Qing.”
“If we can’t find Shi Muqiao’s body, we can find someone to disguise as Shi Muqiao. Given today’s advances in makeup technology, it’s very easy to find someone similar to Shi Muqiao and make them up to look like her. Given Chi Qing’s current state, she probably can’t tell the difference.”
“If that doesn’t work, we can look for videos of Shi Muqiao while she was alive, edit some parts that might stimulate Chi Qing, and show them to her. My men should have shot a lot while monitoring Shi Qianying, so it’ll be easy to edit something together.”
Fifth Lord of Gu suggested three solutions in one go, leaving the room in silence.
After a while, Chi Yu finally said, “Fifth Brother, your quick-thinking is admirable. I, A Yu, am impressed.”
Gu Junzhu showed a teasing smile, “It’s nothing, you’re just too involved to see clearly.”
They didn’t have any medicine on hand to treat Chi Qing today.
Yue Yaer wrote down the prescription, and the Chi brothers, along with their sister and the prescription, took their leave.
Gu Junzhu accompanied Ye Xingbei back to their bedroom. Seeing her look somewhat distressed, he playfully flicked her forehead, “What’s the matter? Why the long face?”
