Chapter 967 The Frail Heiress 12
After a tense wait, the test results finally arrived.

When Lian Yang saw that several experts had arrived, he had a bad feeling, but he wasn't too panicked. Even if things didn't turn out well, with his mother there, he wouldn't have any problems.

"It's just physical weakness, nothing else serious." The experts discussed, each making their own guesses based on their years of experience.

However, after half a day and further investigation, no major problems were found.

Lian Yang has been asked how he feels recently. How does he feel? He feels very weak, like he has just recovered from a serious illness. He feels very tired even when he sits up, let alone walks.

Having been healthy for nearly twenty years, this was the first time he had ever experienced such a feeling of utter weakness.

"How about we try another hospital?" A-Zhou suggested.

Of course, it's useless to switch hospitals many times.

"If we still can't find anything, I do have an idea." At this moment, one of the experts suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's attention. Seeing that everyone was waiting for his answer, he didn't keep them in suspense, "Have you ever heard of Gu magic?"

Some people present suddenly realized what was happening, while others looked completely bewildered.

Lian Yang almost lost his composure. His mother's talent in Gu magic was unmatched; she was certain he wasn't under Gu spells. The suggestion was good, but it was going to disappoint her.

He couldn't have been poisoned by a curse.

"Uncle Ling, do you mean Lian Yang might be under the influence of Gu?" Meng Xuan was also surprised for a moment. As a member of the Meng family, he naturally knew about Gu techniques, but he had never seen a real one; he only knew that such a thing existed. He also knew that the Ling and Meng families had some connection with that mysterious Holy Gu Clan.

Before this, he only thought it was a race, since he had never truly witnessed the wonders of Gu magic. However, the people from the Holy Gu Clan were quite talented in medicine, and they had many miraculous folk remedies. His cousin's health was well maintained thanks to the Holy Gu Clan.

Now Uncle Ling is asking, could it be that the mysterious Gu technique described in novels really exists in this world?

Meng Xuan was intrigued. What exactly was real Gu magic like? Would he have the chance to witness it this time?
Those who don't know are curious, while those who do know are frowning and pondering the possibility.

Lian Yang had calmed down and looked at Yun Xiuzi.

He was genuinely worried that if the Ling family, the Meng family, and the Holy Gu Clan recognized them at this time, it would definitely be bad for their future plans.

They have a grudge against the Ling family, and the Holy Gu Clan won't tolerate his mother either. Forget about treating her illness; there might be other troubles as well.

Yun Xiuzi patted Lian Yang subtly to comfort him.

Now that she dared to return to Beijing, she could guarantee that those old acquaintances wouldn't recognize her.

Besides, when the incident happened, her family didn't know she already had a child; they wouldn't have imagined it.

It would be nice to meet them this time, taking advantage of my son's illness.

After all these years, she really wanted to know how they were doing.

To avoid any accidents, she hasn't dared to inquire much over the years, for fear of attracting attention.

A-Zhen found the matter quite interesting. She hadn't expected to find members of the Ling family in this hospital. It made sense, though; the Ling family must have considerable influence to be able to arrange such smooth passage for their check-up.

Lian Yang had panicked for a moment, but Yun Xiuzi wasn't afraid at all, seemingly certain that the people from before wouldn't recognize her. "It's just an idea. If we really can't find a problem, we can ask them to take a look," Ling Anmin said. "If it really is related to Gu magic, they won't ignore it."

Times have changed. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. The Holy Gu Clan, a mysterious clan, least wants anyone to abuse Gu techniques within their ranks, as that would bring ruin to the entire clan.

Take, for example, the incident involving the Ling family years ago. Fortunately, it wasn't the Holy Gu Clan's intention, and no one died. Otherwise, if such an abuse of Gu techniques to harm people had occurred, you'd see if the higher-ups would have intervened. If the consequences had been severe, the entire clan could have suffered a serious blow.

"Why don't we check it again? If that doesn't work, we can see if it's... Gu magic." Yun Xiuzi hesitated, her eyes filled with worry and doubt, as if to say, "You're really not lying, expert? Does Gu magic really exist in this world?"

Ling Anmin nodded helplessly. He knew that in this day and age, many people would hear about Gu magic and make fun of it online, but it was actually very difficult to make them truly believe in it.

If A-Zhen hadn't known Yun Xiu-Zhi's true colors, she probably would have believed her performance.

She seemed genuinely skeptical of this so-called witchcraft, but for the sake of her most important son, she had no choice but to give it a try, perfectly portraying a mother's anxiety and worry.

A-Zhuang suddenly became curious: after the client died, what kind of friction occurred between Lian Yang and his mother when they went to Beijing and the Ling family?

Will they get what they want in the end? Or will good triumph over evil?
Judging from Meng Xuan's expression, he clearly did not suspect Lian Yang and his mother.

Yun Xiuzi's presence here indicates that she is certain she won't be recognized, so it's normal that Meng Xuan didn't suspect anything.

Under normal circumstances, who would think of these things?
From this perspective, even if the mother and son don't win in the end, the Ling family will likely still suffer some losses.

Under Meng Xuan's arrangement, Lian Yang went to other hospitals in Beijing.

For several days in a row, I visited several hospitals, all of which are well-known in Beijing and famous for their excellent medical conditions and doctors.

The result was the same as before.

"Could it really be some kind of Gu poison?" Yun Xiuzi asked anxiously. "Dr. Ling, could you please ask someone to check if my Lian Yang has been affected by that Gu poison? Thank you."

As she spoke, Yun Xiuzi's eyes were slightly red, and she knelt down before Ling Anmin.

Ling Anmin was used to this kind of situation, and he helped the person up without hesitation: "Don't worry, now that I've asked, I'll definitely help."

Meng Xuan is responsible for taking care of the person, and this also involves Gu techniques. He is a member of the Ling family, so he insists on having the Holy Gu Clan help him find out if someone is abusing Gu techniques outside. Only after confirming this can the problem be solved.

The Holy Gu Clan member disappeared after jumping into the sea; no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

The Holy Gu Clan is now under very strict management, and those currently in the Holy Gu Clan probably wouldn't dare to abuse Gu techniques. If it really is Gu techniques, the most likely candidate is the one who jumped into the sea back then.

Ling Anmin felt a sense of unease, hoping that nothing bad would happen.

Azhen stood beside Yun Xiuzi and, seeing her staggering, kindly helped her up, comforting her, "Aunt Yun, don't worry, Lian Yang will be alright."

That's weird.

Is Yun Xiuzhi's behavior a sign that she's preparing to meet with an old friend?

I must say, she acted very well. Apart from her, who else in the room could have noticed anything unusual?
