No one spoke at the table.
They all subconsciously looked at Gu Mang's hand.
Bai Qingqing couldn't figure out why Gu Mang had to sign a life-and-death agreement with the Presbyterian Council that she had almost no chance of winning.
Gu Mang raised his eyes, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, and said casually, "I'll give them a hand."
The tone was extremely arrogant.
These words were telling Huo Zhi that it was useless whatever he said and he could shut up.
Huo Zhi looked at her for a few seconds and finally lowered his eyes, seemingly giving in.
Everyone ate quietly.
Gu Mang picked up a piece of fish.
As soon as I put it to my mouth, my stomach suddenly started to churn, as if something was rushing up from the bottom towards my throat.
Huo Zhi noticed her sudden stop, "What's wrong?"
Several people who knew Gu Mang's situation had their hearts in their throats at this moment.
Yu Mufeng glanced at the sweet and sour fish, his throat tightened.
Jiang Sui was even more frightened.
The cooks they brought over were not very professional in cooking. They only cooked home-cooked dishes. They didn't taste bad, but they weren't very good either.
But Gu Mang's current physical condition is special.
It is impossible to completely remove the fishy smell from fish cooked by a half-baked cook.
Lin Shuang was the calmest and looked at Gu Mang, "Isn't the fish delicious?"
She said, taking a taste.
"It's a little fishy, so it probably wasn't cooked well." Lin Shuang said, "Just make do with it and eat less."
Gu Mang hummed, overcame the excitement, and swallowed the fish with an expressionless expression.
Gu Si and Yu Mufeng also tasted it and both said that maybe the cook didn't cook it well.
The reaction of a group of people was very normal, nothing inappropriate or abnormal at all.
Huo Zhi's sharp eyes fell on Gu Mang and he didn't move away for a long time.
Gradually, his eyes became darker.
Gu Mang's expression remained unchanged, but he stopped eating sweet and sour fish and ate boiled meat slices and spareribs.
Huo Zhi withdrew his gaze.
…
After eating, Gu Mang went upstairs without saying hello to Huo Zhi.
Everyone else is busy with their own affairs.
Bai Sui stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and was on the phone with Mr. Bai.
When Huo Zhi was about to leave, he stopped and looked towards the stairs.
After standing there for a few seconds, he turned and walked upstairs.
Baldhead was about to follow.
Then I heard Huo Zhi say, "Wait here."
The bald man paused and looked at Huo Zhi walking up in confusion.
…
Huo Zhi walked straight to the door of Gu Mang's room and stared at the door handle, but did not move for a long time.
The man's eyes were as dark as ink, and his lips were straight.
He rubbed his fingers slightly, then suddenly raised his hand and pushed open the door.
When she met Gu Mang's dark eyes, the girl turned her face slightly to the side, a frightening chill bursting out of her eyes.
Gu Mang stood in front of the table, holding a water glass in one hand and medicine in the other.
Lin Shuang was leaning on the bed playing with her mobile phone, now staring at the door.
Huo Zhi looked at the medicine in Gu Mang's hand, his eyes twinkling slightly.
Gu Mang didn't say anything, and the cruelty between his eyebrows and eyes was almost bone-breaking, making people's hair stand on end.
"Huo Zhi, do you really think I won't take action against you?" Gu Mang's voice was low and deep, as cold as a knife.
"Sorry, I forgot to knock on the door." Huo Zhi lowered his posture and apologized, "There is something I just wanted to tell you."
Gu Mang put the medicine into his mouth, took a sip of water, and made a swallowing motion with his throat, "After that, get out."
When Huo Zhi saw this scene, the doubts in his eyes dissipated a little, "I will be there for the assessment tomorrow. You can stop at any time."
"Get lost." Gu Mang said one word expressionlessly.
Huo Zhi smiled and said good-naturedly: "Go to bed early tonight."
After saying that, he closed the door.
When going down the stairs, I met Bai Sui, who was feeling depressed and frighteningly cold.
As he passed by, Bai Sui did not salute him like a subordinate, but walked up without looking away.
Huo Zhi looked back at him, his pupils shrinking.
The bald man also saw this scene. He walked up to Huo Zhi in a few steps and glanced at Bai Sui. "Sir, would you like to send someone to talk to him?"
Looking at the entire Jijing Continent, who dares to have such an attitude towards Huo Zhi.
Last time, I had my head bald in front of Huo Zhi. "No need." Huo Zhi withdrew his gaze and went downstairs, "He is Gu Mang's man now, and he wants to follow her into Base 102."
"Yes." The bald head was still unwilling to give in, but Huo Zhi ordered him so, so he could only obey his orders.
…
Bai Sui went up because he saw the bald man down there alone and thought that Huo Zhi was looking for Gu Mang.
Now that Huo Zhi came down, he just checked the situation upstairs.
Didn't bother Gu Mang.
inside the room.
Gu Mang sat on the chair, his hands casually placed on his abdomen.
Lin Shuang walked over and said with lingering fear, "He is worthy of being the number one person in Jijing Continent. He is quite sharp."
A piece of fish makes one suspicious.
Gu Mang's delicate eyebrows were lowered and he said nothing.
"What are you going to do? What if during the assessment..." Lin Shuang frowned and hesitated.
Gu Mang's expression was dull, and he pressed his palm down on his abdomen, "Don't be as useless as Lu Chengzhou. Give me some face, and let me vomit again. If someone else finds out, you will be responsible for the consequences."
Although the current situation was not suitable for laughing, Lin Shuang couldn't help it, "Gu Xiaomei, can you tell it that it can understand?"
"Isn't that right? Is there no other way?" Gu Mang's tone was also relaxed.
Lin Shuang nodded, "Okay, then why are you talking about Lu Chengzhou? Why is he so useless?"
Only Gu Mang dared to say that to the big boss.
The corner of the girl's mouth curled up slightly, "You'll know when the time comes."
Lin Shuang was a little confused by this riddle and raised his eyebrows.
…
On the way back to the Council House, it was already dark.
Huo Zhi was sitting in the back seat, his silhouette hidden in the shadows, his fingers touching the seat.
In his mind was the scene of Gu Mang eating just now.
Tonight she drank one glass more water than usual with her meal.
I only had one bite of the fish, and although I touched the meat, there was very little. There were too many vegetables, and I drank porridge.
Pursing his lips, he turned around and ordered, "Let the director of the First Hospital come to the governor's office."
The bald man next to him was stunned for a second, then quickly responded, "Yes."
…
Council House.
The bald man opened the study door and said, "Dean Yan, please come in."
"Okay, thank you." Dean Yan, who had lived to this age, was interviewed privately by Huo Zhi for the first time. He was extremely nervous and walked in tremblingly.
The door behind him was closed, and his heart beat like thunder.
At this time, the office chair with its back to the table turned around. Huo Zhi looked at Dean Yan, raised his chin and said, "Sit down."
"Yes." A layer of cold sweat broke out on Dean Yan's back, and he sat down tremblingly.
Huo Zhi looked indifferent, "What tests did Gu Mang have when he went to the hospital last time?"
Dean Yan didn't know why he asked this, so he answered honestly, "I took a X-ray of my wrist and some surgical examinations."
Huo Zhi said: "Is there nothing else?"
Dean Yan shook his head, "Miss Gu just suffered a traumatic injury and should be almost recovered by now."
Huo Zhi was silent for a few seconds before speaking out, "During the examination, did you find any signs of pregnancy?"
Only then did Dean Yan know what Huo Zhi wanted to ask when he called him over.
Thinking of the relationship between Huo Zhi and Gu Mang, I thought it wasn't that difficult to understand, so I didn't think much about it.
He said: "Whether you are pregnant or not can only be known through a professional examination. It cannot be seen through a surgical examination."
Suddenly thinking of the medicine Gu Mang took, Dean Yan's expression changed.
"Director Huo, if Miss Gu is really pregnant, the development of the fetus must be closely monitored and it is best to abort it if necessary, because Miss Gu has been taking a lot of medicine recently, including sleeping pills." Dean Yan's voice was tight.
Huo Zhi frowned, "Sleeping pills?"
"Yes." Dean Yan said, "Miss Gu took three sleeping pills before she fell asleep the night she was hospitalized. She also took one from me when she was discharged."
Huo Zhi rubbed his fingers slightly on the armrest of the office chair.
Although Gu Mang's medical skills are not as good as Leng Xuan's, if she is really pregnant, she will definitely be aware of it and will not use medicine indiscriminately.
He just saw Gu Mang taking medicine with his own eyes. Some of the medicines looked familiar, like the special medicines used to treat trauma in Jijizhou.
This medicine has serious side effects.
Maybe he was overthinking it. Maybe the cook didn't cook that plate of fish well, and the dinner should really be lighter.
Huo Zhi's nerves were tense all night, and he finally relaxed, "I understand, you can go back."
When the dean heard this, his back relaxed and he stood up, "Yes."
