Chapter 58 Dragon Guards and Medical Accidents
When Guan Mi received the message from Liu Chongyu, she was standing dejectedly in front of Bai Lin.
After the others left, Bai Lin remained silent.
This made her increasingly uneasy.
Bai Long had never treated her with such indifference before.
After a long while, Bai Lin sighed and said, "If something like this happens again in the future, you should tell me!"
"Don't beg others!"
His tone was tinged with anger at their lack of ambition.
This is a junior he cherishes, how could he not trust him?
If Guan Mi hadn't been so distracted, he wouldn't have known what had happened.
With his divine sense, he could easily cover the entire Duck Head Mountain, but he didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, so he rarely did so.
Because of his sense of morality, he failed to learn about the matter immediately.
This is actually a very small thing.
Whether you laugh it off or retaliate fiercely when someone insults you behind your back, it doesn't matter.
Even if someone is killed, it's a trivial matter.
But why didn't she come to me immediately when she encountered this situation? Instead, she foolishly stayed there, fearing and trembling.
He had told her countless times that he could solve all the problems in the world!
"I don't want to cause Mr. Bai any trouble," Guan Mi said softly.
"Trouble?" Bai Lin almost laughed in anger. "Because of such an ant?"
“His family is very powerful.” Guan Mi felt that Bai Lin didn’t understand the rules of the mortal world.
Bai Lin sighed, realizing that Guan Mi still didn't understand his own power.
"Power is the foundation of a cultivator; it is absolute authority!"
These are the words his master once told him.
At that time, he had only recently transmigrated, and he was always somewhat timid and hesitant when facing some members of his sect with impressive backgrounds.
Because of this, his master gave him a severe scolding.
For the first time in hundreds of years, the old man stepped into the human dynasty.
He simply wanted to show his closed-door disciple how insignificant those earthly emperors who wielded supreme power were in the face of absolute strength.
Bai Lin's gaze was somewhat unfocused.
He suddenly had an urge to emulate the old man.
"Mr. Bai, I was wrong. Next time something like this happens, I'll tell you right away, okay?" Guan Mi carefully hugged the dragon claw and said pitifully.
Bai Lin knew she was trying to play the victim and shook his head helplessly.
"You should tell the Dragon Guards about this," Bai Lin said slowly.
Guan Mi stared at him in astonishment.
"Didn't you want me to be liked by more people?" A smile appeared on Bai Lin's dragon face.
Guan Mi, however, always felt that the smile was somewhat cold.
She wasn't sure whether those people would like it or be afraid of it once they found out.
……
"Dragon Guard?"
Upon hearing the news, Director Zhao and his colleagues were neither happy nor afraid; instead, they were shocked.
Especially Director Zhao.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Guan Mi and see if he could get some information out of her.
His style of doing things was inherently cautious, which is why he was entrusted with full responsibility for Bailong's affairs.
But he never expected Guan Mi to drop such a bombshell on him.
“Yes,” Guan Mi said, “Mr. Bai can share his power with others through the special dragon scales on his body. Those who accept his power are called Dragon Guards.”
"Is it that kind of magical spell?" Zhang Yu's eyes lit up.
He had wanted to ask this for a long time, but he was afraid of breaking a taboo and didn't dare to ask in detail.
Since Bai Lin had specifically instructed him today, Guan Mi decided to explain in detail.
Anyway, she's already had a hard time keeping this secret.
"The power that the Dragon Guards can obtain from Mr. Bai varies depending on the specific body part they are targeting..."
"The dragon's head emphasizes magic, the dragon's tail emphasizes strength, the dragon's claws emphasize killing, and the dragon's armor is slightly weaker, making its abilities more balanced..."
"Besides power, they also inherit the long lifespan of the dragon race, remaining immortal for hundreds or even thousands of years..."
Seeing that even Director Zhao's breathing had become rapid, Guan Mi decisively poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
"However, after fusing with the dragon scales and becoming a dragon guard, your soul will be controlled by Mr. Bai, and your body will be tainted by the dragon's energy!" she said solemnly.
"What do you mean?"
As expected, everyone's breathing paused slightly.
“Life and death are all in Mr. Bai’s hands,” Guan Mi said, looking at the group. “If he wants, he can erase the soul at any time and turn the Dragon Guard’s body into a puppet completely under his control.”
"So evil?"
Liu Chongyu, who had initially been eager to curry favor with Bai Lin even at the cost of his official position, suddenly had second thoughts.
He's only in his thirties and doesn't want to lose himself for the sake of lifespan and power.
Director Zhao's brows furrowed as well.
Zhang Yu, however, looked relaxed: "That's more like it. There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
He looked at Guan Mi and asked, "Are you a Dragon Guard now?"
Guan Mi nodded, unconsciously raising his chin, his face filled with undisguised pride.
The three men looked at her.
Even knowing the risks of becoming a Dragon Guard, they couldn't help but feel envious.
Moreover, they could see Bai Lin's favoritism towards Guan Mi and her dependence on Bai Long, which they considered reasonable.
By the time they left, it was nearly midnight.
"This matter must not be revealed to outsiders in the slightest!" As soon as they parted, Director Zhao gave Liu Chongyu and Zhang Yu separate instructions.
Knowing that the Dragon Guard's affairs were of great importance, the two readily agreed.
They became even more attentive to Bai Lin.
To Bai Lin's surprise, yet also to his surprise, he had Guan Mi inform several people of the news, but no one else visited Yatou Mountain for nearly a month.
This matter seemed to have caused no ripples whatsoever.
However, a shocking medical accident occurred at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing.
This happened a few days ago.
Yuan Run, who was transferred to the special needs ward of Xiehe Hospital, has recovered a lot, but she is still very weak and cannot stand up.
To show that the hospital valued him, they specially arranged for a female doctor to accompany him.
The female doctor graduated from a prestigious overseas university and then completed a 4+4 program to obtain a doctoral degree; her resume was outstanding.
She was beautiful, caring, and attentive, which greatly eased the gloom in Yuan Run's heart.
However, there was a major problem with the medicine she prescribed.
Yuan Run's mother was present at the time, comforting her son, when she suddenly saw that her son, who was receiving an IV drip, had turned pale and then began to convulse.
By the time the doctor arrived, her son had already lost all vital signs.
It was later revealed that the female doctor who caused the medical accident had falsified her academic credentials and lacked genuine skills.
There are also rumors that the previous medications were prescribed by a lover of the female doctor at the hospital. The lover disapproved of her showing concern for Yuan Run and deliberately gave her a strong dose of the drug.
The Celestial Dragons encountered someone with connections.
The public online is unaware of the inside story and is now overwhelmingly condemning the hospital.
Mr. Yuan, however, looked out the window with a gloomy expression.
"How could it be such a coincidence!"
……
Chapter 59 Rescue Mission
"It's just such a coincidence," Liu Chongyu said.
"This guy is really pitiful," Zhang Yu said.
He overheard a conversation between some researchers in the lab and guessed that the person might be Yuan Run, so he went to Director Liu to verify it.
He felt quite conflicted after receiving Director Liu's affirmative answer.
Bai Long told him to lie down, but unexpectedly, he ended up lying flat on the floor.
He guessed that the current ending was probably not what Bai Long truly wanted, but this coincidence...
“There are many people worse off than him,” Liu Chongyu said quietly. “He played a good hand badly, and he has only himself to blame.”
"This guy dares to insult even Mr. Bai! Even the heavens can't stand it!" Zhang Yu said emphatically. "Mr. Bai is the divine dragon of our Great Xia. His appearance must be a blessing from heaven for Great Xia!"
That must be it!
……
"Whether it's true or not, just ignore it!" Mr. Yuan said irritably.
His wife has been crying all day long, and today she even told his son that he had been calling out the names of several people at night during those days.
Bai Lin, Guan Mi, Lei Yao, Liu Chongyu, Zhang Yu...
He didn't want to know those names.
He was in charge of military intelligence at the General Staff Department, and his information network was better than that of most people.
He had heard of most of these names.
In fact, when his son decided to go to the Yatoushan base, he specifically asked around.
He knew the others, but who was Bai Lin, who was ranked first?
Could it be the mysterious person from that base?
He had heard rumors that the base was built based on a mysterious figure.
The panacea that can cure all diseases, and the supposedly powerful boxing style that is now being secretly promoted in special forces, both originated from there.
He had guessed that the person might be a rare genius, a descendant of a family of traditional martial arts or a renowned family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
The higher-ups clearly valued that person highly; otherwise, the son's accident wouldn't have happened.
But he neither wanted to nor could he explore that further.
His wife was still crying, which made him even more irritable.
How could he possibly not care?
Yuan Run is his only son.
At least on the surface.
His son's personality was very similar to his own, and he placed great hopes on him, using all of the family's political resources.
