Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 1134 - 1137: The Man Who Controls Everything Stands Firm Through Wind and Rain 6

Chenxing immediately called Tian Buyu and told him about Shaocheng’s current condition.

Over the phone, Tian Buyu’s voice sounded grim: "I’m on my way to the villa, I’ll be there soon. Mr. Gu’s condition is like this—for the lower body, there’s localized partial paralysis, but it’s not that both legs are completely incapacitated. If the treatment plan they’re researching proves effective, there’s a chance the neurons in his legs could return to normal. But if it fails and the condition worsens, it could lead to complete paralysis, and that would be the worst-case scenario."

Chenxing felt as though cold water had been poured over her. She had originally hoped that, like before, Shaocheng would recover after enough rest—but now, her brief joy had been for nothing.

Gu Shaocheng gave an indifferent smile: "It’s not entirely in vain. At least it’s better than last night, isn’t it?"

Yan Fengchi remained hopeful: "Yeah, maybe with more rest, things will get even better."

Chenxing could only comfort herself with this thought—that perhaps, as time went on, he might recover better and eventually be able to walk again.

But the truth was, this was merely her fantasy.

In the blink of an eye, three full months had passed.

During this time, they had been staying at the small villa, along with three adjacent villas nearby that were fully occupied. The servants attending them, as well as the butler who accompanied them, had all been rigorously screened. Everyone who could enter Jiangxin Island was a trusted confidant.

From the initial adjustments to now fully stabilizing the Gu Family’s situation, Nan Baihao and Bai Wuqing had contributed significantly.

Despite the persistent external rumors: "Gu Shaocheng is sick, and seriously so," Gu Shaocheng remained firmly in control of everything to this day.

The reason was simple: The weekly routine meetings proceeded without interruption. Every document sent to him was promptly reviewed and approved.

He had maintained the habit of hosting video meetings for four to five years. In the videos, he appeared energetic, showing no signs of abnormality—so even when rumors spread that he was gravely ill and on the brink of death, the Gu Family members scattered worldwide, along with professional managers, merely brushed them off with a laugh.

As a result, conversations like these frequently occurred within Gu Family enterprises:

............

"I heard Mr. Gu is gravely ill, and the Sect Leader of the Gu Family might change hands soon."

The professional CEO of one Gu Family business smiled: "You believe those outside rumors? I had a video meeting with Mr. Gu just the day before yesterday, and he looked perfectly fine—full of vitality and joking around. I saw no sign of serious illness whatsoever."

"Huh? So this round of rumors is fake again?"

"Probably fake. Some people just can’t stay quiet and focus on proper work—they love spreading baseless gossip every day. How many times have we heard rumors about Mr. Gu being critically ill or dying? Wasn’t it the same time last year? Back then, Mr. Gu had suffered a minor injury, and the Gu Family was immediately abuzz with talk of his death—then, wasn’t it later proven he was perfectly alive and well?"

"True! Maybe Mr. Gu suffered another minor injury, and rumors spread like wildfire. Let’s just stick to being proper employees!"

............

"Did you hear? The Gu Family is now wildly circulating rumors that the Sect Leader, Gu Shaocheng, is seriously ill and paralyzed."

"Don’t be ridiculous—paralyzed hands and feet? These are the documents I delivered yesterday. Look at the handwriting on the responses—it’s bold and vigorous, powerful and robust. A paralyzed man could still sign like that?"

"Huh, it’s indeed Mr. Gu’s handwriting. So, could it be just another rumor?"
