Chapter 455 - 458 Did you hear that, You are my 4_1
The fourth phone call, "Strengthen the security measures in the hospital to prevent any further harm from those with ill-intentions..."
"Yes, sir!"
The fifth phone call...
The sixth phone call...
Through it all, Bai Wuqing kept his cool, working to keep the situation under control. Now was not the time to lose composure - the Gu family couldn’t descend into chaos, the news of Shaocheng’s grave injuries needed to be kept under wraps. If something were to happen to Young Master Gu, the family would have to reshuffle, and there were plenty waiting to seize his position...
In the past, the Gu family was lacking potential successors, but that was over a decade ago. Now, plenty among the younger generation of the Gu family showed great potential. The fact that his uncles didn’t inherit the family fortune doesn’t mean their now-grown sons aren’t scheming. Whether today’s incident was orchestrated by outsiders or insiders remained unknown, but he couldn’t afford to let anyone find a loophole in this critical moment.
Just as he was lost in thought, a man approached quickly.
"What happened to our brother? Was there an attack? Our brother is usually so careful, how did he encounter an attack today?"
Bai Wuqing tightened his gaze on the rapidly approaching Yan Fengchi, and after a pause, he said, "Things have been unsettling recently."
Yan Fengchi’s face darkened. After hearing Bai Wuqing’s words, he thought for a long time before saying, "It’s not him, is it?" He rarely interfered with the Gu family’s internal affairs, but he’d heard Baihao complain, and it had even resulted in a fight between them. He had released a wolf, and was now drenched in the aftermath.
"We can’t say for sure yet whether this incident is connected to the man you’re talking about."
Hua Hua was baffled,""Who are you talking about?"
Yan Fengchi looked unhappy: "I knew I shouldn’t have let him go."
Hua Hua raised his voice, "Who exactly? What’s been happening recently? Don’t mess with my brother."
"The Great Lai!" Yan Fengchi spat out a name.
Ever since The Great Lai was injured, someone has been causing trouble for the Gu family, which led them to naturally suspect him. Bai Wuqing frowned, "Do we know his background?"
"I don’t know. I was just ordered to protect him from above. His background is too deep for me to fathom."
The mention of The Great Lai set Hua Hua off, "Are you saying my brother was harmed by The Great Lai? Is it true? Did my brother get wrapped up in this because of me?"
"That bastard! I’ll kill him!"
Enraged, Hua Hua was about to go storm off to confront The Great Lai, but Yan Fengchi grabbed his wrist, "Where do you think you’re going?"
"I’m going to take The Great Lai down with me!"
Bai Wuqing voiced a stern, "Enough of this nonsense!"
"Did my brother ..." His voice wavered, "get involved because of me?"
"These are all assumptions with no concrete evidence. Sit over there, don’t act impulsively. You don’t even know who he really is, who are you going to fight?"
Hua Hua was stubborn, "No one messes with my brother! I’m going to ask him if he did it! If he did, I will kill him with a single stab!"
"Big talk, who can you really stab? You’re getting ahead of yourself. Go sit with Luo Xi over there." Yan Fengchi dragged him to a bench and sat him down next to Luo Xi, who was sitting quietly all this while, gazing at the operation room light without uttering a word.
Yan Fengchi shot a glance at Luo Xi, "Luo Xi."
Luo Xi gave a slight nod, ignoring him thereafter. She continued to stare at the operation room light. Her biggest worry was her cousin, and she was feeling terrible. She had a strong suspicion that her cousin was dragged into trouble by Gu Shaocheng.
Time ticked away, each passing second unbearable.
