Chapter 200 Who can be a good city lord
At this point, Xinghan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he continued:
"I noticed that the kitchen in the mansion always has citric acid. Although bronze containers are not common, they are not uncommon. Considering Mr. Gu's condition, he is not obsessed with herbs and pills, and there is no record of him eating uncooked lentils, which makes the assumption of heavy metal poisoning more reasonable. Therefore, I guess someone did it deliberately and used this feature of the bronze container to quietly implement the poisoning plan."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chengjin's face instantly turned ashen, his fists clenched, his knuckles turned white, and he was obviously extremely angry.
“This is outrageous! How could someone be so cruel and cruel as to do this to my father!” He growled with gritted teeth, then turned to Xinghan with a determined light in his eyes, “Mr. Xinghan, please help me to find the mastermind behind this and give my father justice!”
Xinghan nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Master Gu. Since I promised to find out the truth, I will do my best. Next, we need to investigate more carefully, especially to find out the source and destination of those bronze containers, and who in the mansion may have come into contact with strong acids such as citric acid. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the movements and words and deeds of the people in the mansion, perhaps we can find clues from them."
So, the two decided to join forces temporarily and fight side by side, vowing to uncover the mysteries hidden in the Gu family's deep mansion and let the truth come to light.
Xinghan knew that time was running out and detoxification could not be delayed.
He looked around and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Gu, the top priority now is to ensure the safety of Mr. Gu. Please allow me to rescue him alone. The disturbances in the outside world may affect the treatment process." Upon hearing this, although Gu Chengjin was very worried, he also knew that he should trust Xinghan at this time, so he nodded and ordered the servants to retreat to the door and wait on standby.
As the door slowly closed, Xinghan took a deep breath, and a faint starlight gradually emanated from his body.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, gently raising his hands. It seemed as if countless stars were spinning and converging between his palms, and finally transformed into a warm and powerful force. This was his unique star power.
He slowly approached Master Gu and gently injected the spiritual power into his body.
The spiritual power of the stars was like a trickle of water, seeping into every inch of Master Gu's blood, engaging in a silent battle with those long-lurking heavy metal molecules.
As time went by, Mr. Gu's frown gradually relaxed, his face regained some color, and he began to regain consciousness.
Half an hour later, when Xinghan slowly withdrew his spiritual power, Master Gu's eyes slightly opened, and the light of life flickered in his eyes.
"Thank you... for saving my life."
His voice was weak, but it was enough for everyone present to feel his heartfelt gratitude.
Xinghan did not dare to slack off at all. He was well aware of the seriousness of heavy metal poisoning and he had to send Mr. Gu to a professional medical institution for follow-up treatment as soon as possible.
Therefore, he once again mobilized the star power and set up a star barrier in the house to protect Mr. Gu from external interference.
Then, he waved his sleeves lightly, a bright light flashed, and the space inside the barrier twisted, and it was directly connected to a high-tech hospital.
Inside the hospital, the robot doctor who had received the notification in advance quickly took his position and conducted a comprehensive examination on Mr. Gu.
The results showed that the heavy metal content in Mr. Gu’s blood was far beyond the normal range and his condition was critical.
However, after the initial treatment with Xinghan's spiritual power, the robot doctors gained more confidence.
They quickly started the ultrasonic gastric lavage equipment and thoroughly cleaned Mr. Gu's stomach, removing all the heavy metal particles remaining on the stomach wall.
Afterwards, using advanced spiritual power full-penetration blood cleaning technology, Xinghan’s star spiritual power was combined with modern medical technology to comprehensively purify Mr. Gu’s blood.
After intensive and orderly treatment, the heavy metal content in Mr. Gu's blood finally returned to normal and his vital signs also stabilized.
Xinghan stood aside, watching Master Gu's face gradually recover, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that they had won this battle.
He could finally report to Gu Chengjin.
With the successful completion of the treatment, Mr. Gu's health gradually recovered. Although his steps were still unsteady, his eyes were shining again.
Mr. Gu's heart was filled with endless gratitude for this sudden rebirth.
He held Xinghan's hand tightly, speaking with excitement:
"This kind of medical skill is simply divine! This place is like a fairyland, and you are the immortal who came down to earth to save my life from danger."
Xinghan heard this and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips. He shook his head slightly, with wisdom flashing in his eyes, and said to Master Gu:
"Master Gu, you are too kind. Everything in the world has its own way, and medicine is no exception. What I have learned is nothing more than following nature, borrowing the power of heaven and earth, and harmonizing the balance of the human body. Medicine is profound and is the crystallization of the wisdom and efforts of countless sages. Although I am in it, I am just a speck of dust in the vast galaxy. How dare I claim to be great? You can just regard it as a coincidence that you have encountered a corner of profound art, and treat it as a paradise. It is both real and illusory, and the flowers are not flowers."
He changed the subject, his tone becoming a little mysterious:
"As for the title of 'immortal', I don't even dare to accept it. I feel unworthy of it. In my opinion, the real immortals are those who transcend the world, are compassionate, and use invisible hands to do great love. And I am just a doctor walking in the world and doing my best. If there is anything special about me, maybe it is that I have more respect and persistence for life than others."
Having said that, Xinghan deliberately paused, looking into the distance with deep eyes, as if he was thinking about some profound question.
After a moment, he smiled softly and continued:
"Master Gu, in fact, everyone has a fairyland in their heart, where they yearn for and pursue a better life. As long as they have good intentions and are down-to-earth, everyone can become the 'fairy' in their own life and create their own miracles."
Seeing Xinghan repeatedly refusing, Master Gu could no longer insist and could only secretly admire Xinghan's noble character.
With Xinghan's support, the two slowly walked out of the hospital and started their journey home.
On the way, Xinghan took the initiative to mention Gu Chengjin: "Master Gu, you know, if it weren't for Master Gu's filial piety and his insistence on inviting me here, I might not have the chance to meet you. He knelt in front of my door for a long time, and his persistence and sincerity were really touching."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu paused and his eyes turned slightly red.
He recalled Gu Chengjin's efforts and contributions over the past few days, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He looked up at Xinghan and said with emotion:
"Yes, my illness has made me see the hearts of children clearly. Cheng Jin has been silently bearing a lot all this time, and I never noticed it before. His performance this time made me feel deeply gratified, and I also felt that I paid too little attention to him in the past."
At this point, Master Gu seemed to remember something and asked:
"Mr. Xinghan, which of my two sons do you think is more likely to succeed and become a good city lord in the future?"
Xinghan smiled slightly and shook his head:
"Master Gu, the world is unpredictable, and people's hearts are even more complicated and changeable. Who can become a good city lord depends not only on talent and ability, but also on character and responsibility. Although I am a little knowledgeable about physiognomy, I dare not predict the future. However, there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, having a good son like Gu Chengjin is your greatest luck, Master Gu."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu felt even warmer in his heart. He held Xinghan's hand tightly, his gratitude overflowing with words.
He knew that in his life, having a son like this was nothing more to ask for.
And Xinghan's words were more like a shot in the arm, allowing him to make a timely decision.
