Chapter 70:1 Will Be the Chief Surgeon

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The rural prison in A City was known for housing felons sentenced to death. In Gu Ci’s previous life, she had received a five-year sentence for attempted murder and had been incarcerated in this very prison. Returning to this familiar place, her eyes held a sense of desolation.

She scanned the QR code and paid the fee to the driver. “Wait for me for half an hour, 1 still need to go back to the city.” The driver remained silent. Gu Ci continued, ^rTll give you five hundred yuan.”

“How long will I need to wait?¹‘

Gu Ci registered her name at the prison entrance. Without an appointment, she had already called Chen Liangdong on the way, asking him to arrange everything. The prison guard was puzzled. “This person has been imprisoned for over a year. You’re the only visitor.¹’

“No,” Gu Ci replied after registering. “Tell her that Little Cherry is here to see her.”

Gu Ci waited outside the window for fifteen minutes until a female prisoner was brought in and seated across from her. Her hair was simply tied up, and her red lips still held a touch of charm.

“Oh, such a young and tender girl. How do you know about Little Cherry?”

“Not only do I know about Little Cherry, but I also know that you’re the renowned cardiology expert, Dr. North.” Dr. North’s expression changed dramatically.

Gu Ci continued, “Two years ago, the seventeen-year-old Little Cherry went missing on her way to school. The police later found a part of Little Cherry’s skeleton and apprehended the murderer, who had raped and killed her. He was imprisoned here and sentenced to sixteen years. You were devastated and sought justice for Little Cherry.”

“No one knows that Little Cherry is my daughter. How did you find out?” Dr. North questioned sternly.

“Dr. North, you went missing when you were three years old and lived in the Liyun Welfare Institute. Later, you were adopted by Zhang Yang and his wife. When they had their own daughter at eight years old, their attention shifted entirely to the newborn. They sent you back to the orphanage. At twelve, you were sponsored by Chen Geng and continued your education until you graduated from medical school. Chen Geng suffered from congenital heart disease, and you dedicated your efforts to treating him. After successfully curing him, your reputation soared. However, Chen Geng controlled you, exploiting you for financial gain…”

“Enough, who are you? Why do you know so much about my life?” North eyed her warily.

“No one knows these details after Chen Geng’s death. Who are you? Do you know Chen Rushi?”

“Help me save someone, and I^rll tell you where Little Cherry is,” Gu Ci calmly stated.

“What did you say?” North became excited.

“The murderer never revealed the location of Little Cherry’s remains. From beginning to end, you only possessed a fragment of her skeleton.” Gu Ci’s lips curled into a cold smile.

“Is that so? Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t leave this place.”

“That’s my concern. My grandmother has only two days left to live. I’ll give you ten minutes to consider.” Gu Ci glanced at her watch. “The timer starts now. I won’t answer any more of your questions.”

Dr. North looked at her silently, his hands trembling.

“If you deceive me, I won’t let you off as long as I’m alive!”

“Very well!”

“1 promise!” Gu Ci nodded. “Just wait and sec.’¹

She left the rural prison, hailed a taxi, and headed back to the Global Center. Chen Liangdong was already waiting for her. Gu Ci provided him with a detailed account, omitting any mention of Dr. North’s personal life.

“Alright, I’ll handle it for you!” Chen Liangdong took charge of the matter. It was already past five in the morning. As dawn approached, Gu Ci stood with Chen Liangdong on the runway downstairs. Chen Liangdong asked, “Dr. North is a world-renowned authority in cardiology. Why is there no commotion despite her being locked up in prison?”

“North is her alias. Back then, Chen Geng exploited her for financial gain. She took the blame upon herself and was sent to the rural prison,” Gu Ci softly explained.

“She sought vengeance for her daughter.”

Dr. North had changed her name multiple times, never revealing her true identity.

“She’s also a pitiful person. Is her daughter really alive?”

“She’s alive!” Gu Ci chuckled. “She’s nineteen now and was admitted to University A s Department of National Defense this year. After her accident, she underwent a period of recovery. By the time she woke up, the murderer was already apprehended. Little Cherry wished for his death, so she changed her name and severed all connections. She didn’t know her biological mother had taken revenge by going to prison. Dr. North never wanted her daughter to find out either.”

Gu Ci had concealed the information that Little Cherry herself had severed her own finger as a symbolic death certificate for the murderer. Even though she desired his demise, Gu Ci had kept this information hidden.

“How do you know all of this?” Chen Liangdong asked, his hands clasped behind his back. His gaze was filled with both love and curiosity.

“Dr. North and 1.,. are old acquaintances!” Gu Ci’s tone was indifferent. She subconsciously rubbed her right hand as if it ached. Her hand had been crippled by Dr. North, who had taught Gu Ci everything she knew and had even guided her in holding a scalpel before personally crippling Gu Ci’s right hand.

“This is an act of injustice. It involves not only Dr. North but also Little Cherry and the murderer…” Chen Liangdong spoke passionately.

“Gu Ci, now that I know, I won’t sit idly by.”

“Then send someone to thoroughly investigate the matter, including the murder involving Dr. North and the financial crimes. Those arc all committed by others and have nothing to do with her,” Gu Ci mockingly laughed. “All her life, she has saved people. The only crime she committed was crippling her disciple’s hand.”

However, this crime had yet to occur.

Her phone rang, and it was Jiang Junlin calling. “Cici, Grandma’s condition is critical. Hurry to the hospital.”

Gu Ci’s body stiffened. After ending the call, she turned to Chen Liangdong. “How quickly can Dr.. North reach the hospital?”
