The invisible blood of the mortal world

When Lu Xiang woke up, the pregnant woman had already been pushed out of the emergency room. A nurse was anxiously looking at him.

Seeing that Lu Xiang had woken up, the head nurse heaved a sigh of relief. "You've finally woken up. I saw that you're quite tall and big. How come you're still unconscious?"

Lu Xiang's face was pale as he forced a smile, "About that … What happened to the pregnant woman who was hit? "

"Oh, don't mention it," the nurse shook her head. "The injury was already stabilized, but it suddenly became worse. We did our best."

"What about the baby?" As Lu Xiang stood up, he looked towards the sickbed where the pregnant woman had just been laid — there was a faint pink color on the pillow — and knew that it was the pregnant woman's blood, although no one in the mortal world could see it.

"The patient was just pushed into the operation room," the nurse said as she stopped the bleeding, "the child's father protected the child, not the adult."

Even if he were to protect Master Feng, he probably wouldn't be able to do so. Lu Xiang thought in his heart as he followed the nurse out of the emergency room.

Lu Xiang walked out of the emergency room, along with Yi Lu and Doctor Ming, and they arrived outside the operation room and saw Gu QiuTang waiting anxiously.

Gu Qiuxiang was tall and well-dressed. He was originally a phoenix among men, but now he sat dejectedly on a chair by the corridor with a face full of fatigue. There were still traces of tears at the corners of his eyes …

When Gu QiuTang saw Lu Xiang and the others, and saw Lu Xiang using a cotton ball to stop the bleeding on his right arm, he knew that this young man had given blood to his wife. He quickly walked up and said, "Little brother, thank you so much. Otherwise Lan, Lan …" When he thought of his wife lying in the operating room and how he would never see her cute face again, Gu QiuTang couldn't help but feel choked with sobs, unable to utter another word.

Lu Xiang extended his hand and patted Gu QiuTang's shoulder, giving him support between men.

"Cough cough," Gu QiuTang cleared his throat, "There's no need to thank me for this great favor. Here's my name card." He reached into his portfolio and took out an exquisite gold-plated business card. He handed it over to Lu Xiang with both hands.

The current CEO of the Gu Group, Gu Qiutan.

The Gu Group, the largest private enterprise in Jianghai City, had a background of both black and white. It was the master that not even the government's upper echelons dared to offend.

"Mr. Su, the child is safe!" The door to the operation room was pushed open, and a nurse hastily walked over. "Mrs. Su, you're almost at your wit's end. You'd better quickly go in!"

Without waiting for the nurse to finish speaking, Gu QiuTang had already rushed into the operation room. Not long after, Gu Qiuxiang's cry sounded out from the operation room. At first, it was a suppressed sob, but soon after, it was followed by an uncontrollable loud wail that reverberated throughout the operation room and the corridor, lingering for a long time.

Yi Lu stood in the corridor, listening to Gu Qiuxiang's sorrowful cries. She also felt very sad, and couldn't help but blush. She looked up at Lu Xiang beside her, unable to imagine what she would do without Lu Xiang.

"Lu Xiang, you're not allowed to leave me without my permission!" Yi Lu held onto Lu Xiang's hand and said seriously, "If you had disappeared without my permission, even if it's Underworld, I would still chase after you."

"You little fool," Lu Xiang reached out and pulled Yi Lu into his embrace. He lightly patted her back and coaxed her, "Don't worry, I'll definitely live longer than you. When the time comes, only I'll be able to chase after you to the Underworld."

"Damn it, you're so talkative!" Yi Lu unhappily pounded on Lu Xiang's chest. Although he was disgusted by what he said, his face was full of happiness.

Doctor Ming silently watched the two of them. The corner of his mouth curled up into a pretty smile that was not a smile. He thoughtfully closed his eyes.

Three days later, at the invitation of QiuTang, Yi Lu and Lu Xiang and Dr. Ming came to the hospital to visit the baby who had been transferred from the sterile room to the observation room.

"Little brother is so cute." Yi Lu bought a set of newborn baby clothes, pink clothes printed with a lovely sunflower.

"How did you know it was a boy?" At the side, Lu Xiang hugged Yi Lu's waist, "What if it's a little sister!"

"No wonder," Yi Lu rolled his eyes at Lu Xiang, "Look at how much he loves to move, he must be a boy!"

"It's a son." Gu Qiuxiang walked over with a face full of stubble, looking as if she had aged quite a few years in an instant. "Lan's spirit in heaven will definitely be gratified — our son is so healthy and cute."

"Big Brother Su, don't be sad," Lu Xiang consoled, "You must not fall. Brother has just been born, he still needs your care."

Gu QiuTang forced out a smile and said, "The reason I've invited you here today is to invite you to my wife's funeral — — I thank you for being able to help her when something happens. If it wasn't for you three, I'm afraid our Gu family wouldn't have been able to preserve this small bit of bloodline." "I think that even from the heavens, Alan would like you all to come and attend her funeral and see her off for the last time."

"This …" Lu Xiang was a little hesitant. After all, he had only met Alan by chance, and saving her was a pure coincidence.

"Young man, since you've already invited me, we should all go — and you haven't finished what you need to do? "How can you give up halfway?" Doctor Ming, who hadn't spoken much until now, suddenly spoke up.

Yes, since he had a reaction to this matter, it must be related to the search for an item from the Underworld — which was also related to Yi Lu's life.

"Alright, I'll go!" I will attend your wife's funeral. " He gently glanced at Doctor Ming, who was standing to his left. He had the nagging feeling that this doctor seemed to know something, and felt that this doctor was definitely not as simple as just a doctor.

"That's great! I thank you on behalf of my wife! " Although Gu QiuTang felt that Doctor Ming's words were a bit strange, the days of exhaustion and blows had consumed too much of his energy, and he was no longer in the mood to ponder over the meaning behind Doctor Ming's words.

Just as he was about to say something, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked up to him and whispered into his ear. Then, Gu QiuTang's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Everyone, I'm sorry. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first." After Gu Qiuxiang finished speaking, she hurriedly left.

"Don't you want to go and see what happened?" "Maybe it's something you can help with."

"How can Lu Xiang help?" Yi Lu did not understand why Dr. Ming would say that.

"Lulu, I'll go and take a look!" Lu Xiang suddenly seemed to understand something. He pulled Yi Lu's hand and quickly walked out …

The two walked to the entrance of the hospital and just happened to see Gu Qiuxiang get on a black Bentley and dash off towards the exit of the city.

"Hurry, let's rent a taxi and catch up with that car!" Lu Xiang got into a taxi that stopped in front of the hospital's entrance and said to the taxi driver, "I'll give you double the amount of money, don't lose it."

"Alright," The taxi driver, a young man wearing sunglasses, couldn't help but tease Lu Xiang when he saw how anxious he was, "Bro, if it wasn't for such a beautiful girlfriend sitting next to you, I would have thought you were chasing her!"

"Master, we have urgent matters to attend to, please follow the car in front by all means." Lu Xiang said.

"Lu Xiang, what happened to you?" Yi Lu, who was being pulled into the car by Lu Xiang, didn't know what was going on with Lu Xiang, "Why do we have to follow Big Brother Su's car?"

"I can't explain it to you now," Lu Xiang's eyes were fixed on the Bentley in front of him, "Stay in the car obediently and don't get out."

"But …" Yi Lu wanted to retort, but seeing Lu Xiang's serious expression, she could only obediently shut her mouth. Although he had a million questions he wanted Lu Xiang to answer, Yi Lu knew that no matter what he did, Lu Xiang wouldn't answer them. She also knew that no matter what Lu Xiang wanted him to do, Lu Xiang's starting point would be to protect him.

Along the way, the scenery became more and more desolate. The car had already left the city and arrived at a private cemetery.

Next to the cemetery was an old-fashioned and solemn gravehouse. It looked like an antique building, but it was still in use due to proper maintenance.

The Bentley stopped in front of the old house.
