Chapter 1039: Only Deserves to Be Her Assistant

When Gu Mang returned to the study after sending out the document, she found Fei Luo standing in front of the coffee table with a stack of loose manuscripts in his hands.

The sound of the door opening jolted Fei Luo back to his senses as he turned his head to look at Gu Mang with a shocked and blank expression. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Gu Mang's gaze landed on the manuscripts in his hands, where the snake logo appeared especially glaring at the bottom right corner of the papers. She cocked an eyebrow as she walked over and took a seat from across Fei Luo while looking as indifferent and lazy as before.

Fei Luo's eyes remained fixed on Gu Mang.

"Take a seat," she said to him before picking up her cup of water and taking a sip.

Fei Luo stared unblinkingly at Gu Mang with pursed lips before gathering his courage to ask, "Gu Mang… These are?"

He lifted the manuscripts in his hands.

"Don't you recognize them?" she asked lightly.

Fei Luo tensed up. "Yes, these are the Miracle Doctor's manuscripts."

Gu Mang nodded.

"But that's not what I'm asking." With bated breath, he asked, "How come you have the Miracle Doctor's manuscripts?"

The Miracle Doctor's manuscripts were especially precious. A small portion of them was kept in the medical organization's private library, and only the apprentices of the medical organization's bigwigs had the right to borrow them. Most of the manuscripts, however, were sent to the Joint Medical Association by Fei Luo for compiling into medical books. Copies of the medical books would then be sent to various medical associations and museums all around the world.

Fei Luo had never seen someone own so many of the Miracle Doctor's manuscripts. How is Gu Mang related to the Miracle Doctor? I remember her looking calm when I offered to contact the Miracle Doctor for her. In hindsight, she and the Miracle Doctor probably knew each other from way back. That explains why she looked the way she did at the time.

Fei Luo carefully studied Gu Mang's face in an attempt to find a clue from her expression. The Miracle Doctor is so mysterious that I can't find any way to contact him, and this has gotten worse since he became even more low-profile in the last two years. If Gu Mang knows the Miracle Doctor… Given her incredible medical skills, she must be very close to the Miracle Doctor—No, that's not right… Leng Xuan has been removed from Jijing Island's medical association, and the medical association belongs to Gu Mang now. For her to be able to pull Leng Xuan down from her position, there's no way that Gu Mang is in any way inferior to her… In that case, the Miracle Doctor…

In that instant, an answer formed inside Fei Luo's mind. Gu Mang… is the Miracle Doctor…

Gu Mang looked at how tightly Fei Luo was holding onto the manuscripts. "What's wrong with the Miracle Doctor's manuscripts?"

Fei Luo's fingers trembled even harder as he asked, "G-Gu Mang, are you the Miracle Doctor?"

In response, Gu Mang looked up and stared at him with her black eyes.

The Miracle Doctor's identity was rather special, and there was even an international bounty on her head. Thus, Fei Luo regretted it as soon as he posed that question. He couldn't help wishing that he could bite his tongue off as he felt that there was no way Gu Mang would admit to it.

The girl sitting on the sofa had a leg put across her knee, making her look all the more arrogant and unbridled. When their gazes met, Fei Luo felt that his nerves were getting taut.

The next second, he saw her pulling her lips back into an arrogant smile. "Yes."

He hadn't expected her to admit it as the matter of the Miracle Doctor's safety was a huge issue, and the fact that she did it so readily and calmly made him draw a sharp intake of breath. The Miracle Doctor! So Gu Mang is that mysterious Miracle Doctor! No wonder the brain surgery genius Yu Zhongjing only deserves to be her assistant in Capital University's upcoming project!
