Chapter 660 — I Will Stay with Sister Yaoyao! The Parents Holding Critical Condition Notices Fell into Chaos, and Gu Pengzhan Stood Dumbstruck! What He Was Thinking of Now Was No Longer What Impact This Affair Would Have on the School, He Feared Only for His Daughter!

In Gu Pengzhan's eyes, his daughter mattered far more than any company. A company could be lost and begun anew. He was no longer young, yet he was far from old and spent, and he still had the strength to strive and fight on. But if his daughter were gone, everything would be finished, and life itself would lose its meaning...

The doctor's words struck like thunderbolts from a clear sky. Gu Pengzhan could never have imagined that such misfortune would fall upon Gu Mengyao. If he could have taken her place, he would willingly have borne the sickness himself rather than let his daughter suffer it!

While the parents were seized with panic and dread, no one was more delighted than Canlang. At last he had found his breakthrough!

"Look, everyone, just how dangerous is First High School? An unknown infectious virus has appeared out of nowhere. Is the place some kind of biochemical base?" Canlang's voice rang out again. "Even Chairman Chu's daughter could not escape it. Just imagine how terrifying this is! The children collapsed, and no cause can be found! Think of your own children. This morning they left for school happy and healthy, and only a few hours later, what is it you hold in your hands? Critical condition notices! I do not mean to speak ill omens, but few patients who receive this slip of paper ever pull through! It is simply too terrifying, above all to die without even knowing how you died!"

Hearing Canlang's words, the parents grew grief-stricken and furious, regretting with bitter complaints that they had ever sent their children to First High School. They had once believed it the finest high school in the city, yet they never imagined that once their children entered its gates, they had set foot upon the road to death!

Canlang was overjoyed at once and hurriedly called his men to record the scene with voice recorders and cameras!

Gu Pengzhan had heard Canlang's inflammatory words as well, but he made no rebuttal, for his mind was no longer on such things. He was consumed with worry for Gu Mengyao's safety and had no time to care whether Canlang was slandering the company and the school!

Yet this gave Canlang his chance. With a round of filming and agitation, he set the grieving parents to denouncing the school's management...

"Sister Yaoyao will be all right! I want to see Sister Yaoyao. Where is Sister Yaoyao? I am going!" Shen Yushu suddenly dashed toward the door of the emergency room. Beyond it lay a long narrow corridor, and at its farthest end were the infectious isolation wards. Several nurses were busy spraying disinfectant nearby, and they froze at the sight of Shen Yushu rushing in!

"You... what are you doing? You cannot come in! This is the critical infectious isolation ward. Get out at once!" A nurse cried out in fright and hurried to stop Shen Yushu from charging forward.

But how would Shen Yushu listen? Only one thought filled her mind now, that nothing must happen to Sister Yaoyao, and even if something did happen to her, she herself would stay beside her! As for infection or not, she did not care at all!

The doctor standing at the doorway was also stunned by Shen Yushu's actions. When he came to himself, he shouted hastily through the emergency room door that had been pushed open, "Come back out! Do not go in! It is dangerous!"

Shen Yushu paid no heed, and from somewhere found a strength that two nurses could not hold her back. She had already run to the far end of the emergency corridor, where she saw a row of isolation rooms, each door fitted with a large pane of glass!

Shen Yushu quickly found the isolation room where Gu Mengyao lay, and ignoring the cries of the doctors and nurses, she pushed the door open and rushed inside.

"Sister Yaoyao, Sister Yaoyao, what is wrong with you? Do not frighten me!" Shen Yushu ran to Gu Mengyao's side, seized her hand, and burst into sobs.

With Shen Yushu leading the way, the other parents, after only a moment's hesitation, followed her in and each found the isolation room of their own child!

At such a turn, the hospital nurses and doctors could only smile bitterly, for there was nothing they could do! In truth they understood these people. Worried for their children's safety, they had cast all thought of infection aside!

"Since you have gone in, you will have to remain inside the hospital until the quarantine is lifted!" The doctor called out helplessly from the emergency corridor, "Your movements are restricted for the time being!"

The parents did not care in the least. They meant to stay beside their children, and even if they were told to leave at that moment, they would not go!

Gu Pengzhan and Uncle Qing followed them in as well. Gu Pengzhan entered Gu Mengyao's isolation room, and Uncle Qing followed without a moment's hesitation! From this could be seen how loyal Uncle Qing was to Gu Pengzhan, that he would brave such peril with his own body!

"Yaoyao!" "Miss Gu!"

Gu Pengzhan and Uncle Qing hurried to Gu Mengyao's bedside. Seeing Shen Yushu clutching Gu Mengyao's hand and weeping her heart out, Gu Pengzhan sighed.

Yaoyao and Xiaoshu had grown up together since childhood, and their bond was beyond measure. Though not sisters by blood, they were closer than true sisters. If anything happened to Yaoyao, Xiaoshu would surely suffer no less than he did himself! She might even be less able to bear it!

Gu Mengyao's face was deathly pale, without a trace of color, and her body was hooked to a tangle of wires. Though Gu Pengzhan could not read the numbers on the monitors, he knew they could not bode well!

"Xiaoshu, you should keep a little distance from Yaoyao too, lest you be infected..." Gu Pengzhan, as an elder, naturally had to warn Shen Yushu. Otherwise, if Shen Yushu were truly infected, he could never answer to her parents.

"No, I will not leave. I will stay with Sister Yaoyao!" Shen Yushu shook her head. "I will wait here until Sister Yaoyao wakes up!"

Seeing Shen Yushu speak with such resolve, Gu Pengzhan did not press her further.

When Canlang and the crowd of reporters saw the parents pour into the emergency room, they stared at one another in dismay! The parents dared to go in, but they did not! An infectious disease was no joking matter. If they caught it through carelessness, would that not be the end of them?

But Canlang was their leader, and he had more or less given these men some benefits, so they could not simply walk away at once! So someone suggested, "Brother Wolf, why don't you go in and do the interview, while we wait for you here?"

"Forget it, let's go!" Canlang was a man who feared death. How could he gamble his life for twenty thousand yuan? Shaking his head, he led his men to pack up and head back. The material they already had was more than enough. Even without further interviews, it would suffice to tear the Gu Group to shreds in print!

With those four words, "unknown terror," alone, no one would dare send students to First High School ever again! Who knew whether such a terrifying thing would happen again? That the hospital had reached no conclusion was better still, leaving Canlang free to spin the story as he pleased!
