Chapter 1096 Finding the Gu King
Shen Yuan immediately picked it up and looked at it under the light.
Under the light, Shen Yuan could see something inside, but she couldn't make it out clearly.
Hearing the commotion from the study, Mo Chaomu immediately came over: "Mommy, what's wrong?"
Seeing the things scattered on the ground, Mo Chaomu walked in: "Mommy, are you alright?"
"It's okay, baby, go get Mommy a small saw."
"A saw? Okay!" Mo Chaomu was very obedient and immediately went to find a small electric saw.
Shen Yuan held the chainsaw, looking at the goddess statue with a very solemn expression.
This was the last thing her mother left her, telling her to keep it safe. Shen Yuan knew that this thing was extremely valuable and heavy. Occasionally, when she held this beautiful goddess statue, she would always think of her mother.
She assumed the goddess statue was solid because it was so heavy, but she never expected that it actually contained a hidden secret.
If it weren't for that heavy fall, Shen Yuan might never have imagined that there was something inside.
Shen Yuan suddenly had a premonition that what was inside might be what Xia Zhengyi had been searching for.
He had been searching so persistently for years, using every means at his disposal, turning over and over his old place again and again. Shen Yuan herself had also searched many times, but hadn't found anything. She had no idea what Xia Zhengyi was looking for. Now that she saw this thing, Shen Yuan seemed to understand.
It turns out the secret had been hidden here all along; she had been holding it and looking at it all along, but she had never noticed it.
Mo Chaomu, who was also watching intently from the side, said, "Mommy, isn't this something Grandma gave you? Are you going to cut it up? It seems a bit of a waste."
Such a perfect, golden statue of a god, now destroyed like this, who knows if it can ever be repaired.
Shen Yuan didn't care about anything else right now. She carefully cut it, without damaging it all, just wanting to get out what was inside.
When Shen Yuan cut the piece open, she saw that what was hidden inside was a black worm.
"Mommy! This Buddha statue has a worm in it! It's a huge worm! Has it been sitting there for too long and gone bad?" Mo Chaomu exclaimed.
This bug looks terrifying, and it's completely different from ordinary bugs. It's the kind of bug he's never seen before.
Could this be... the King of Gu?
Shen Yuan was only guessing. She knew that the Gu worms in Bo Qing, Ston, and the others' bodies were all mother Gu worms, which gave birth to offspring Gu worms every three months.
Only the Gu King can restrain the Mother Gu and draw it out of the body.
If this is the Gu King, then everyone can be saved!
But the insect didn't move at all, and Shen Yuan didn't know whether it was alive or dead.
Her heart almost stopped beating. She didn't know how to express the excitement she felt. But the goddess statue was completely sealed off. There was no air inside, and no food or drink. Could the Gu worm really survive inside?
Shen Yuan wasn't sure if the Gu worms were still alive, but at least she saw hope.
Perhaps Bo Qing won't need surgery, and everyone will be saved!
"Baby, stay home and be a good girl. Mommy is going to the hospital again!"
Shen Yuan wanted to tell Bo Qing about this immediately. Although the Gu worm was not moving now, it might still be alive!
Shen Yuan immediately drove to the hospital, wanting to tell Bo Qing the good news, but Bo Qing did not answer his phone.
Shen Yuan stepped on the gas and sped off as fast as she could.
Although she didn't know what the Gu worm looked like, Shen Yuan had a strong intuition that this must be the Gu King, and it was what Xia Zhengyi had been looking for all along!
At first, she thought that Xia Zhengyi was looking for wealth, gold and silver jewelry, after all, her mother had left her a lot of wealth, just like Bo Canghai, who wanted these things.
Later, Shen Yuan realized that Xia Zhengyi was not short of money at all, and that these were definitely not what he wanted. Xia Zhengyi never explicitly said what he wanted, so Shen Yuan never knew.
In the end, after Shen Yuan learned about the Gu worms, she wondered if what Xia Zhengyi was looking for was something that could restrain the Gu worms. After all, he wanted to control everyone in the world for his own purposes. If he could control the Gu worms, coupled with his body-swapping technique, it was possible for him to achieve this.
The fact that he was so wary of what his mother had in her hands was most likely because it was something that could restrain his naive thoughts.
Now that she saw what was inside the goddess statue, Shen Yuan was 100% certain.
Shen Yuan drove directly to the hospital. After getting out of the car, she went upstairs and ran to the ward.
"Bo Qing! I've found him..."
Shen Yuan pushed open the door, only to find the ward empty.
Bo Qing is gone, and so is Stone.
There was no one in the restroom, and Shen Yuan called Bo Qing, but Bo Qing didn't answer.
Shen Yuan had no idea what was going on, where Bo Qing had gone, or why he wasn't answering his phone.
There were still nurses at the nurses' station outside. Shen Yuan asked, "Hello, has the patient in the ward left?"
The nurse said, "The person inside, weren't they going for surgery?"
"Surgery? Isn't the surgery tomorrow?" Shen Yuan was shocked.
The nurse shook her head: "No, it's tonight."
Shen Yuan froze for a moment; Bo Qing had lied to her!
He lied to her that the surgery was tomorrow, but secretly performed the surgery himself in the middle of the night. Shen Yuan knew perfectly well that Bo Qing didn't want her to worry, so he planned to do it secretly. But now that she had found this, perhaps Bo Qing wouldn't need to have open-chest surgery!
"When did you go there? How long has the surgery been going on?"
The nurse said, "About half an hour."
"Where is the operating room?" Shen Yuan asked.
The nurse told her the location and floor, and Shen Yuan immediately ran over. She didn't dare waste a second, afraid that if she was late, Bo Qing would suffer more pain.
Why couldn't we just wait for her? Please don't have the surgery. Just wait two more minutes!
The elevator over there was always occupied, so Shen Yuan ran upstairs in one breath.
She was almost out of breath, but finally saw Stanton at the operating room door.
“Stone!” Shen Yuan called out.
When Stan saw Shen Yuan, he was so scared he almost lost his soul. His boss didn't want him to tell his sister-in-law about this, so he deliberately lied to her, saying that the surgery was tomorrow. But now his sister-in-law somehow found out about it. How... how should he explain this?
“Sister-in-law,” Stone called out.
"How long has Bo Qing been inside?" Shen Yuan asked.
Stanton said, "It's probably been ten or twenty minutes. What's wrong, sister-in-law? Actually, the eldest brother didn't tell you because he was afraid you would worry. Don't blame him."
"See if there's any way to stop this surgery right now. I've found something that might be the Gu King's possession; perhaps Bo Qing won't need the surgery!"
