Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 710: It Really Is Him

Gu Cheng pulled up his pant leg, and although Lu Jing just intended to glance briefly, when he saw the condition of the leg, he couldn’t help but gulp.

"This... how did this happen?"

It was shockingly gruesome.

How could the injuries be so severe?

Gu Cheng, however, seemed quite calm about it:

"This one, I cut myself with a knife when I was about seven.

The next one was probably when I was thirteen, I got it while crashing a motorcycle.

And this one, also when I was thirteen, I deliberately jumped from a building.

The most recent one, I was about seventeen, I shot myself with a bullet."

Hiss!

The speaker looked unaffected, but the listener was horrified.

These were all acts of self-harm!

Gu Cheng was the rightful heir of the Gu Family from birth, adored by many people.

To think he started self-harming from the age of seven?

This guy is just about twenty now, right?

And yet, he recounts these past incidents with such calmness?

One can’t help but wonder if there’s something wrong with Gu Cheng.

Lu Jing’s skepticism was barely concealed, clearly evident on his face.

Gu Cheng became slightly uncomfortable:

"Doctor Lu, curiosity killed the cat, ever heard that?"

A threat?

Lu Jing snapped back to reality and then twitched the corner of his mouth:

"The stitched wounds on the outside hurt, or is it the bones inside?"

"Inside."

"Let’s go get an x-ray then."

How could the human eye see clearly what’s happening with the bones inside?

For Gu Cheng, Lu Jing wasn’t intending to do the examination hands-on immediately; sticking to the hospital protocols was fine.

Once the x-ray results were out, everything would be clear.

Gu Cheng seemed to want to say something, his lips moved several times, but in the end, nothing came out.

Lu Jing had already written up the examination form and was signing it.

After signing, he handed it to Gu Cheng: 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Go pay first, then wait outside the CT room until they call your name."

Tsk tsk.

The heir of the grand Gu Family, when did he fall to the point of lining up on his own?

However, Gu Cheng obediently took the form:

"Okay, Doctor Lu."

Hiss!

Lu Jing looked up meaningfully:

"Go ahead."

After the person left, Lu Jing finally took a deep breath.

He thought about making a call but feared the other person might still be busy.

After all, he had left early in the morning without even having breakfast.

And currently, Gu Cheng seemed just like any normal patient coming in for a check-up.

He decided to wait and see.

If anything was fishy, it would eventually show its tail.

Having thought it through, he shouted towards the door:

"Number eighteen, are you there?"

"I am, I am," a young girl ran in, appearing to be a college student.

Lu Jing’s face had already returned to normal:

"Sit down, what’s bothering you?"

"Um, um, um, my back hurts."

The back?

Lu Jing glanced at the door, which had been shut by an intern.

"Lift up your clothes, let me see."

"Okay."

He then began a thorough hands-on examination, pressing various spots on her back:

"Does it hurt here?"

"A little bit more to the side."

"Here?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that’s it, it’s so sore, indescribably uncomfortable; doctor, do I have a slipped disc?"

Lu Jing pulled his hand back, habitually pressed the disinfectant, and wiped his hands:

"Don’t worry, it’s not a slipped disc; it’s just a bit of strain in the back muscles. You should pay attention to your posture while sitting, standing, walking, and so on."

"Ah? I thought I had a slipped disc," the girl said, visibly relieved.

Lu Jing smiled and said:

"Little sister, you should still be cautious with muscle strain in the back. If it gets severe, it’s no small matter."

Hmm.
