Chapter 38 -38: Saving Someone in the Middle of the Road
Lu Sheng stepped out of the room, and Chen An was outside furrowing his eyebrows and talking with the old butler, probably asking about the pillow matter.
Hearing the noise, Chen An turned around.
Seeing Lu Sheng, he paused in surprise, seemingly shocked by how quickly she came out, and called out, “Miss.”
Lu Sheng nodded and told Chen An, “I gave him acupuncture, and he’s already asleep.”
“Ah?” Chen An opened his mouth, “…You mean President Li is asleep? Now?”
This was something that would be impossible under normal circumstances.
Therefore, Chen An was very surprised, and clearly, the old butler was too.
Lu Sheng explained, “I made him fall asleep. He has long been suffering from insomnia, and this sleep will be very deep, possibly lasting until tomorrow morning.”
“When he wakes up, he’ll be very hungry, but don’t let him eat anything else, just some light millet porridge. Remember to give him Red ginseng soup in the morning.”
“Today was the second time I gave him acupuncture. By tomorrow, he should be able to not only stand up but walk with the support of something.”
“But keep an eye on him, don’t let him walk too much.”
“I just wrote a prescription, this formula is specifically for improving sleep and regulating the spleen and stomach. Have someone fetch the medicine accordingly, and have it prepared daily for him to drink.”
“I’ve written the dosage and how to take it on the paper. As long as he takes the medicine on time, his sleep and digestive system should quickly return to normal.”
“After a few more sessions of acupuncture on his legs, he should be able to walk normally too. If he feels uncomfortable, call me in time.”
Lu Sheng finished all this in one breath.
Although she’s still an underage girl and dressed very casually, her aura was quite impressive, and her demeanor and tone were calm and natural.
All these instructions, listened to by Chen An who was usually decisive and imposing, made him continuously agree: “Yes, Miss, I’ve remembered that, I’ll tell President Li once he wakes up.”
Even the old butler was dumbfounded.
Chen An also found it miraculous.
After Lu Sheng gave Li Muchen the first acupuncture, he personally witnessed Li Muchen standing up afterward.
Before this, even the world-renowned top neurologists couldn’t bring about such substantial recovery for President Li.
And today, right after the girl arrived at the Li Family, she identified the poisoning in President Li’s pillow and made President Li fall asleep in just half an hour, and even detailed the care for afterwards.
Looking down at the prescription written by the girl, the scribbles were rushed and messy.
Though Chen An couldn’t recognize the name of a single herb, he couldn’t help but look up in admiration.
This was definitely the kind of handwriting only a top-notch expert could produce.
Such flair.
This isn’t some illegitimate daughter who can’t be seen in public.
This is clearly a Divine Doctor! A prodigious young lady!
In just a few minutes, Chen An’s look towards Lu Sheng was already filled with admiration.
The Lu Family really are blind, treating Qianrou as a treasure, not knowing the real treasure is right in front of them.
President Li really stumbled upon a gem.
Chen An asked, “Miss, what are you planning to do next…?”
“It’s getting late, I’ll head back to the Lu Family first,” Lu Sheng said.

Chen An immediately replied, “Then I will send you back now.”
“No need, you can have someone else send me.”
Lu Sheng casually glanced at the old butler in front of her and said to Chen An, “You better hurry up and find out the source of that pillow. After all, constant vigilance is hard to maintain against an internal thief.”
Seeing Lu Sheng looking towards the old butler and slightly frowning, he discreetly withdrew his gaze: “Miss is right, I will have the driver take you back to the Lu Family now.”
—
When she left the Li Family, it was exactly three o’clock in the afternoon.
Upon reaching an intersection, the car was waiting for a red light.
Lu Sheng glanced outside casually, but her eyes suddenly lit up and she instinctively sat up straight.
There was a small cotton candy stall by the roadside.
A middle-aged man stood beside a small cart, which had five or six sticks of pink and green big cotton candies, some shaped like animals, which looked very cute from a distance.
Nowadays, these kinds of cotton candy stalls are rarely seen. The last time she had one was several years ago.
So, Lu Sheng asked the driver to stop the car by the roadside.
“Just drop me off here; I’ll walk the rest of the way. You can go back.”
“Sure, Miss.” The driver, sitting in the driver’s seat, responded respectfully and immediately got out of the car to open the door for Lu Sheng.
After getting out of the car, Lu Sheng walked towards the cotton candy stall.
She scanned a $10 note in front of the stall and asked the owner to make a strawberry-flavored cotton candy.
“Alright, miss, just wait a few minutes, it’ll be ready shortly!”
The owner spoke while skillfully turning on the burner and pouring pink sugar into the ring in the center of the stove.
Lu Sheng nodded.
Bored while waiting, her eyes accidentally glanced to the side, but then her pupils suddenly constricted.
Just ten meters away from her, a little boy around five or six years old was running towards the center of the road, seemingly to pick up something that had rolled to the middle of the street.
His mother was on the phone by the roadside, seemingly arguing with someone, completely unaware that her son had run off.
But now the light was red.
The little boy hadn’t even reached the middle of the road when Lu Sheng looked up and saw a white truck already speeding toward him from not far away.
It was too late to save him now!
The truck driver noticed the little boy only as it approached, he inhaled sharply, leaned back, stamped on the brakes while continuously honking the horn—
The shrill horn ripped through the air, tires screeched against the ground, and these harsh sounds together made one’s scalp tingle.
The little boy, who was picking something up in the middle of the road, was startled, and instinctively turned around, staring blankly at the truck rushing towards him.
The truck was about to hit him!
At a close distance!
And only then did his mother, who was on the phone, notice her son was missing, looked up, and her heart almost stopped.
With all her might, she screamed, “Xiao Yan—!!!”
Everything happened in just a second or two.
The mother was more than ten meters away from the little boy, it was impossible for her to save him, but still, she rushed forward recklessly.
At the same time, she felt total despair as if the next second she would hear a loud bang and see her son knocked flying by the truck.
However, to her astonishment, a figure moved much faster than her.
In that instant, she saw the truck suddenly freeze, or rather not just the truck, it seemed as if even the air around it had halted.
She herself couldn’t move either.
She watched the figure pounce towards her son, and in the moment they crashed to the ground, the unstoppable truck drove straight past their previous position.
It then continued for another five or six meters before finally stopping completely.
Lu Sheng rolled several times on the ground, holding the little boy. When they finally stopped rolling, she tasted a sweetness in her throat. The next second, a mouthful of fresh blood surged up.
At the same time, in a vast room with all-black walls, an instrument on a desk that looked as intricate as a compass, suddenly lit up in one spot.
In the next moment, a man with black hair and wearing a white robe narrowed his eyes and walked straight to the desk, immediately picking up the instrument.
The flash indicated the approximate location—China, Jiang City.
The man took a deep breath, and his handsome eyes showed a hint of coldness.
He finally knew where she was.
