The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 72 Is this Gu?

“I rose from humble beginnings, and along the way I have witnessed people vying for power and deceiving each other, not for fame but for profit. Over time, it has become my instinct to lure people with fame and drive them with profit.”

Liu Zhenhao straightened up, his face sincere: "I have never met a person like Mr. Lin who regards fame and fortune as dirt before, so I have offended you. I am willing to apologize."

Liu Zhenhao truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran who rose from humble beginnings!
These words not only praised himself and apologized, but also provided the best explanation for his mistake.

It's not that my method is wrong, but that people in this world are obsessed with fame and fortune, so I use money to drive and enslave them.

You are a master; you are different from them!
I treated you like an ordinary person, so I was wrong, and I am willing to apologize!
Since Liu Zhenhao had already bowed and apologized, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't hold a grudge. He was done with venting his anger. The child was afflicted with the Blood Burning Gu, and it couldn't be delayed for too long, otherwise, problems might arise.

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

Secretary Zhang Lin quickly opened a notebook and handed it over along with a pen.

Lin Chen took it, quickly wrote down a list of medicinal herbs and their quantities, and handed it to Liu Zhenhao: "These are the medicinal herbs we will need. Also, prepare a large pot for decocting the medicine, a large bath tub with a lid, a large bucket of ice, and a high-precision thermometer. I will come over first thing tomorrow morning."

Liu Zhenhao took it with both hands and asked cautiously, "Mr. Lin, can my grandson's illness be cured?"

Lin Chen nodded: "It can be cured in one treatment, but the process may be a little uncomfortable."

Liu Zhenhao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay to feel unwell. As long as I can get better, I'm not afraid of suffering."

Lin Chen waved his hand: "Alright, let's go back."

Liu Zhenhao turned his head and reached out his hand. Zhang Lin handed him a box, which Liu Zhenhao presented to Lin Chen with both hands: "Mr. Lin, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Lin Chen turned and left without even reaching out: "We'll talk about it after you're healed."

Liu Zhenhao straightened up and stared at Lin Chen until he entered the residential area before turning his head and saying in a deep voice, "Go and prepare immediately. Make sure everything is ready tonight."

Zhang Lin respectfully replied, "Yes, I'll go right away!"

Nothing happened all night.

After having breakfast, Lin Chen drove directly to the hotel.

Liu Zhenhao's family had been waiting for a long time, and all the medicinal materials and equipment that Lin Chen needed had been prepared.

Lin Chen immediately began preparations, directing everyone to process the medicinal herbs, and then began to boil them, finally producing a pot of boiling medicinal liquid.

Pour the medicine into a large bathtub, put in a thermometer, and wait for the medicine to cool to a temperature that will not scald the child before putting the child into the bathtub.

The child immediately cried from the heat, but this was an inevitable process, and everyone could only suppress their heartache.

The medicine continued to boil, and Lin Chen would add more medicine to the tub every ten minutes, maintaining a constant temperature. The medicine spread upwards from the child's calves and waist, and when it reached the chest, Lin Chen placed one of the child's hands in the liquid while keeping the other hand on the edge of the tub. He then wrapped crushed ice cubes in a towel and wrapped it around the child's other arm.

The medicine was added more and more, and the arm wrapped in the towel was gradually submerged in the medicine until only the palm remained untouched by the liquid and was wrapped in an ice-covered towel.

Seeing this, everyone vaguely understood that Lin Chen seemed to be using high-temperature medicine to stimulate the child's blood vessels throughout his body, forcing the Gu worms in the blood vessels to his arm little by little.

"Bring me a glass to catch the dripping blood."

Lin Chen made several small incisions at the ends of the veins in his hand, and as he squeezed along the veins, fresh blood dripped out.

After repeatedly squeezing, Lin Chen then submerged the child's entire arm in the boiling medicine, leaving only the bleeding point exposed. Ten minutes later, Lin Chen pressed on the bleeding point again and then straightened up.

"All right!"

Lin Chen bandaged the bleeding wound and handed the child, who was covered in red burns, to the child's mother: "The Gu worms in his body should be gone. Even if a few remain, they will no longer affect his body. The Blood Burning Gu will not reproduce and will die naturally after a period of time."

"The medicine has the effect of neutralizing the Blood Burning Gu poison. After soaking for so long, the toxins in his blood should be almost neutralized. He was tormented by the Blood Burning Gu before, and I just put him through this. He is very tired and will probably sleep for most of the day. After he wakes up, he should be fine."

Lin Chen turned his head and asked, "Do you have a magnifying glass?"

Zhang Lin immediately went to find a magnifying glass, but Lin Chen didn't take it. Instead, he gestured for Lin Chen to hand it to Liu Zhenhao.

"You can see for yourself."

Liu Zhenhao took the magnifying glass, tilted the glass, and looked closely. His eyes widened suddenly, his scalp tingled, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Under a magnifying glass, tiny insects crawled around at the bottom of a glass of pale red blood. These insects resembled ladybugs, but had a pair of sharp, knife-like pincers.

Even with Liu Zhenhao's ruthless nature, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

At this point, Liu Zhenhao completely believed Lin Chen's words; his grandson had indeed been bewitched!
He Chenggang had been observing silently the whole time, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Liu, may I take a look?"

Liu Zhenhao turned his head, glanced at He Chenggang, and handed him the cup and magnifying glass.

Upon seeing this, He Cheng's expression changed drastically, and he muttered, "This is Gu?"

Lin Chen explained, "What you said the other day was not wrong. Gu is a poisonous insect, but the Blood Burning Gu is particularly small, making it difficult to guard against."

Liu Zhenhao's face turned ashen, and he respectfully inquired, "Mr. Lin, what conditions are required to administer this Blood Burning Gu to a person?"
