Chapter 545 Her Past Life Was Replaced

Chapter 549 Gu Miao's Different Treatment

Elder Gu took off his mask, looking exhausted. Elder Fan was also being supported as he was led out.

"He's saved. The toll this time was too great; he'll need considerable rest to recover."

"Wuuwuuwuu, my dad is okay now."

Zi Yisheng gently patted Gu Ning's head, feeling sorry for the Gu family father and son.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Gu and Master. I will arrange for people to take good care of Gu Miao from now on."

The two elders were truly drained and were quickly escorted away.

"Gu Ning, don't be sad. My grand-master is the best doctor; he will definitely help your father recover his health."

"Yes, my father will get better."

Zi Yisheng glanced at his watch; it was already past one in the morning.

"Take them back to sleep. Gu Ning, you can stay with Youyou tonight."

Little Youyou, unusually proactive, reached out and took Gu Ning's hand, eager to leave as he was extremely tired.

Ye Shenge had also stayed awake. She didn't want another innocent person to die because of her, even though she had already caused the death of an innocent person who had donated blood for her.

As soon as the hospital room door opened, Ye Shenge reached out to grab her husband's hand, dreading any bad news.

"How is he?"

"He's been saved. He might need a period of recovery."

Ye Shenge let out a sigh of relief. She suddenly felt like a jinx, a terrible burden.

"It's good that he's saved. When I was unconscious, I saw a stone door. It seemed related to the Baili family. Do you recognize this symbol?"

Ye Shenge handed over the drawing she had painstakingly created.

"This symbol looks so familiar. You saw it while you were unconscious?"

It was difficult for Ye Shenge to explain that her soul had drifted through two timelines, for an unknown duration, during which she had truly seen many places.

"Yes, I can't explain it, but I really saw it."

"Alright, you get some rest. I'll have someone investigate."

Ouyang had just lain down when he was summoned again. Upon seeing the drawing on the paper, some images immediately flashed through his mind.

"Young Master Zi, I think I have some impression of this. Wait here, I'll go to the office and check now."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble. If it's related to the Baili family, hand it over to Ye Mu'en immediately."

Ye Mu'en was also still awake. He stood outside a basement door, which had been surrounded by his men. Unfortunately, he still hadn't caught the old man Baili.

"He escaped from here. There are also marks from wheelchair wheels."

"Have they been pursued?"

"We've dispatched people to pursue them. Their speed shouldn't be faster than ours."

Ye Mu'en gave a wry smile and, hands on his hips, surveyed the basement. Upon seeing the mark on the stone door, he reached out and touched it.

"Make a rubbing of this. From now on, no matter where the investigation leads, don't overlook this symbol."

Ouyang arrived at the office and quickly took a thick stack of file bags from a cabinet. The cover of the file bags bore the words "Baili Family Secrets."

He flipped through the pages rapidly. When he saw the description of the jade pendant worn by the elder patriarch of the Baili family when they first arrived in Mingcheng, Ouyang was certain it was the same symbol.

Flipping further, he found a photograph taken when the elder patriarch of the Baili family reappeared in Mingcheng after disappearing for over ten years. Although the jade pendant at his waist was blurry, its general outline could still be seen.

Ouyang returned to the hospital with the documents. Checking the time, it was already past three in the morning. He wanted to call Young Master Zi but was afraid of disturbing his wife's rest. So, he took the documents and returned to his own hospital room.

He was now living wherever Young Master Zi stayed. Ever since the incident, he hadn't slept in a proper bed. Lying on the bed, he thought of his plump wife and their two little chubby ones, who must be sleeping soundly at this moment.

Ye Shenge was awakened the next day by a nurse administering an injection.

"Madam, you're awake."

"What time is it?"

"It's past ten. Young Master Zi said that once you woke up, you should eat first, then drink the medicine prepared by Elder Fan."

Ye Shenge frowned, looking at the blood backing up in the needle. The nurse's technique was quite good.

"Where are the children?"

"They're sleeping in the next room. They stayed up too late last night."

"How is Gu Miao?"

"He woke up this morning. Elder Fan also personally made him a nourishing soup to replenish blood."

"That's good to hear. Please take good care of them. I'll go see him once I feel a bit better. Help me sit up; I want to sit for a while."

A Sen carefully helped her to sit up, propping her back with pillows.

"Gu Miao is receiving special treatment now. The brothers visited him early this morning, which greatly surprised him."

Ye Shenge smiled, imagining the honest and simple man's overwhelmed reaction.

"Madam, I'll go get your food. I'll ask a nurse to help you to the restroom."

"No need. You all can go out; I can manage by myself."

Seeing Ye Shenge's firm stance, and having become accustomed to suddenly guarding the door, A Sen agreed.

"Alright, Madam, be careful."

Ye Shenge's legs felt weak as she got out of bed. Holding the IV drip with one hand, she slipped into the space.

She first drank two cups of well water, then poured some well water into the bathtub. She adjusted the water temperature to lukewarm and lay down. She needed to recover faster and couldn't let everyone worry about her anymore.

Watching the liquid drip down the IV bag, Ye Shenge thought of the people from her previous life's family. They were identical, but she was certain those individuals were not her and her family.

Could it be that four foreign souls had taken over her and her family? Had the other relatives not noticed? She wondered if they were getting along well, or if they were doing anything detrimental to the family.

Ye Shenge then chided herself for overthinking. She, her parents, and her elder brother had all integrated well. For survival, no one would go too far.

Regardless, thinking more wouldn't stop anything. She could only hope that the relatives of the Bai and Ye families were well.

Feeling that she could absorb energy, Ye Shenge got out of the bathtub. Looking in the mirror, she felt a bit pleased with her slender waist.

Even with extensive care, a woman who had given birth could not regain the slimness of her youth. Now, it seemed she had truly returned to her youthful figure.

Her chest hadn't shrunk either. Her skin seemed to have undergone a metabolic renewal due to the blood transfusion, feeling smoother, though still a bit pale.

A Sen was waiting impatiently outside, leaning against the door and listening for any sounds, afraid she might fall and injure herself again.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

A nurse pushing a small cart stood behind A Sen. Since Madam's hospitalization, she had been exclusively responsible for all matters in this room. She found this person, whom she saw every day, acting like a pervert rather incomprehensible.

A Sen turned around, his expression returning to its usual impassivity.
