Chapter 224 - Waking Up
Dugu Heng just happened to enter the ward at this moment. He was completely stunned.
His pitch-black pupils dilated sharply. “What do you mean?”
If not for the fact that he was somewhat fearful of Dugu Yusheng, he would have already grabbed him by the collar.
He truly wanted to know what he meant by that phrase “the true Ms. Dugu”.
Dugu Yusheng just shoved his hands into his pockets and smirked. “I mean exactly what I said.”
“Get him out of here!” The Dugu Family matriarch pointed at Dugu Yusheng in rage. At this moment, she had already forgotten how scary Dugu Yusheng was. “How dare you come here to disturb Little Wu. Have you truly no respect at all for the Dugu Family?!”
Dugu Heng’s face muscles tightened. He glared at the Dugu Family matriarch coldly. “Shut up!”
“Why should I shut up? Did I do anything wrong? Little Wu and Master Yu were supposed to get married but that Su Huiqing stuck herself in between them. She even tried to kill my Little Wu. Not only are you not seeking revenge for Little Wu, you are helping an outsider bully us!”
The Dugu Family matriarch thought that Dugu Yusheng must have been bluffing her. But noticing Dugu Heng’s reaction, she snatched the results from his hands and read it. She was completely stunned.
She never expected such an outcome.
So all along, she had been trying to kill… her very own granddaughter?
It had actually been a guess on Dugu Yusheng’s part. So he was also shocked at the results.
The three of them stood there in solemn silence in the hallway.
Until Dugu Wu’s shrieks could be heard from the ward.
The Dugu Family matriarch jumped in fright and rushed in.
Dugu Yusheng raised his brows and followed her in. His eyes were cold. It was good that she had finally woken.
“What are you trying to do?” The Dugu Family matriarch stared at the golden-haired man in fear. He had come in by breaking through the window.
Dugu Heng just narrowed his eyes. He recognized the person standing before him. “Apollo?”
Apollo couldn’t be bothered talking to these people. “Master Dugu, you better not try and stop me. I must bring Dugu Wu away.”
At his word, the people standing behind him all aimed their weapons at Dugu Heng.
“Where is Bai Yi?” The Dugu Family matriarch was still faithfully protecting Dugu Wu. “Why do you want to bring Little Wu away?”
“Why? We want to know why she secretly brought a bag of explosives into the potion room! Old Madam Dugu, I warn you not to seek out Bai Yi. If you do, he will definitely lock Ms. Dugu up in the International Prison.” Apollo brushed back his golden hair as he smiled viciously.
“Explosives?” The Dugu Family matriarch’s hands trembled.
How was it she didn’t know anything about that?
“This has nothing to do with Little Wu. You cannot take her away.” The Dugu Family matriarch shielded the panicky Dugu Wu.
Dugu Yusheng heard Apollo’s words loud and clear.
He glanced at the Dugu Family matriarch with his usual lazy expression. With a mocking sneer, he said, “Old Madam, are you sure you want to protect Dugu Wu and ignore your true granddaughter?”
“No…” The Dugu Family matriarch didn’t know what to do.
She had always wanted Dugu Heng to marry and give her grandchildren, but he refused.
As a result, she adopted Dugu Wu and raised her as her own granddaughter. After so many years, it was natural for her to develop true feelings for Dugu Wu.
But she never expected that the Su Huiqing whom she hated so much was actually the real granddaughter whom she had always hankered for.
She had even contracted that bunch of people to assassinate Su Huiqing.
“Dugu Wu wasn’t the one who did this. You cannot take her away!” The Dugu Family matriarch was breaking apart.
Looking at these two, Dugu Heng’s heart went cold.
They had truly disappointed him.
He looked at Apollo, completely disregarding the Dugu Family matriarch. His voice was harsh. “Hand Dugu Wu over to Bai Yi. Do what you have to do.”

Meanwhile.
The emergency room.
Gideon was still in a dilemma over the problem with Su Huiqing’s brain.
At this moment.
The medical equipment in the emergency room all started to beep and chime. All the nurses were in a fluster.
Only Gideon turned toward the bed.
The person on the bed fluttered her lashes. Those dark, bright eyes slowly opened.
A faint, devilish aura came over that lovely face.
“King, is that you?” Gideon’s hand shook.
Su Huiqing propped herself up. She turned to look at Gideon, the corners of her lips curling upward.
Under the fluorescent lights, her face was clear and lovely as always. But that smile was devious to the extreme.
She easily leaped off the bed and brushed back her mussed-up hair. Eyes lowered, no one could see their profound depths.
Gideon heard her low voice. “Yes. I am finally back.”
