Chapter 223 - The Mystery Behind Her Identity
Dugu Heng was somewhat shocked by this news.
The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes bulged. She stared at the captain anxiously. “What are the police doing then? Why are you not arresting those men?!”
The captain gave a bitter laugh. “Madam, it’s not that we don’t want to arrest them, but the opponent is Apollo. It is impossible for us to capture him.”
“Apollo? Who’s that? Is there anyone Bai Yi can’t catch?!” The Dugu Family matriarch thought the captain was just humoring her.
“Anyone else is possible, but not the great Apollo. Just ask Master Dugu.” The captain sighed as he turned toward Dugu Heng.
Dugu Heng’s eyes darkened. “If it’s Apollo, even I would be helpless against him, not to mention Bai Yi.”
Apollo.
Everyone knew about that guy.
A dead person coming back to life. It was a case which shook the entire International Association.
That person was someone from the Dugu Family.
It was also from then on that the Dugu Family’s miraculous bloodline gained fame.
“I suspect that King is part of the Dugu Family.” Gideon was more or less certain.
“What did you say?” Dugu Yusheng looked up suddenly.
His face was full of shock.
Gideon’s news had been like a bomb.
Gideon remained very calm. He looked at Dugu Yusheng and repeated in a placid voice. “It is exactly as I said. Moreover, she is a direct descendant.”
“I must look into this.” Dugu Yusheng’s face was grave and his voice was also subdued. “Don’t tell anyone about her bloodline. The Dugu Family… I have to speak with Dugu Heng.”
“Go then.” Gideon turned his attention back toward Su Huiqing. “I will continue my check-up on her.”
“How is she now, anyway?” Dugu Yusheng looked at Su Huiqing with an unreadable expression.
“I still have no idea what is wrong with her.” Gideon once again probed into Su Huiqing’s brain with his equipment. “I am not even sure if she will ever wake up.”
Dugu Yusheng clenched his fists before taking a deep breath and walking out the door.
The Dugu Family matriarch was no longer there when he emerged. She must have gone over to Dugu Wu’s ward.
Dugu Yusheng’s eyes dimmed. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and pressed for the lift.
“How is Qingqing?” Dugu Heng caught up with him.
“I don’t know.” Dugu Yusheng was feeling very vexed and lit another cigarette.
The nurse saw that he was smoking but didn’t dare to stop him.
Dugu Heng’s face turned extremely grim.
“What did he say?” Su Ruohua looked at Dugu Heng.
“Nothing. Gideon is still inside. You must place your trust in him.” Dugu Heng calmly assured her. He then turned toward his butler. “Let’s go find the Old Madam.”
They must settle this score properly.
Dugu Yusheng was also going to look for Dugu Wu. There was no news from Chi Yue yet, and he didn’t believe this matter had nothing to do with Dugu Wu. Even the Dugu Family matriarch might know something.
Dugu Wu was still unconscious.
But many people were waiting outside the ward. Teachers from Monster University, people from the various families, nearly anyone of any status in the International Association were gathered here.
The Dugu Wu of the past would never have garnered so much attention.
However, things were different now.
News of the marriage contract between the Dugu Family and the Yu Family had spread across the entire International Association.
Yu Shijin was someone who could match up against Song San. It was understandable that so many people now looked favorably upon Dugu Wu.
The Dugu Family matriarch sat by the bed with a mournful face.
Dugu Yusheng stood not far to the side, watching the entire scene. His hands were clenched tightly around his cell phone.
He thought of Su Huiqing’s possible status, and of Dugu Wu’s actions.
Dugu Yusheng felt a raging fire ignite in his heart, as a mocking sneer appeared on his lips.
He pushed open the door to the ward and looked at the Dugu Family matriarch. He said in his usual tranquil voice, “Old Madam, showing so much concern over a granddaughter who does not bear your bloodline, while trying to kill the real Ms. Dugu. That isn’t very good of you, is it?”
