Chapter 465 - 468 Unconscious Trouble at the Door 2_1

With an urgency that left no room for delays, Gu Shaocheng was brought back home from the hospital. Tian Buyu and Gu Qianqian became his primary physicians, refusing to let other unrelated doctors handle Gu Shaocheng’s injuries.

Since Gu Shaocheng’s return to the inner courtyard, all news regarding him had been completely cut off, leaving everyone in the dark about his condition.

Was he still in a coma? Or had he already regained consciousness?

Despite the mystery, the branches of the Gu family began to feel restless, questions and rumors started circulating quietly within the family. These rumors took a few different forms.

Version one: Gu Shaocheng had succumbed to his serious injuries and passed away, but the death was not announced.

Version two: Gu Shaocheng had fallen deep into a coma and had still not awakened, and he might remain in a vegetative state for a long time.

Version three: Gu Shaocheng had already woken up and was seen frolicking and joking around with the girl he liked in the courtyard by the Gu family’s servants.

As the rumors grew more outrageous, the Gu family’s influential elders, whether they were in City A, other provinces, or even out of the country, hurried back to the Gu family home and demanded to see Gu Shaocheng.

A phone call came into the inner courtyard.

"Butler, Sir Gu Fei is heading towards the inner courtyard," said the sentinel outside, noticeably disturbed. "He’s brought a lot of the senior members of the Gu family with him. We couldn’t possibly stop them."

The butler hung up and turned to Bai Wuqing, "The senior members of the Gu family are back. The master is still unconscious after sleeping for more than twenty days without any signs of waking up. If the elders find out about this, they might not be able to control the situation."

The Gu family was a successful line with numerous branches and many senior members. Although Gu Shaocheng had once taken over the family power as a young man, Gu Shocaheng’s uncles and great-uncles did not hold the real power but were authoritative in the complicated Gu family politico-economic structure.

If an important decision made by Gu Shaocheng was vetoed by most of the elders, he would inevitably have to consider the chain reaction that may occur. Even though he had been in charge for so many years, he still hadn’t completely escaped from the restraint of the old men. It was like Gu Shaocheng was a new emperor, under the constriction of his uncles and the old ministers from the previous emperor’s era. He couldn’t just clean up all these kinship and interest relations at once.

The century-old family, just like an age-old tree, once shaken, it would be hard to stabilize. Moreover, if the Master Gu did not wake up forever, it would give a just cause for them to rise if they wanted to. According to the family rules of Gu family, the head of the Gu Family is the clan leader, the property of the Gu family could only be managed by someone with the Gu family name. It should never fall into the hands of an outsider. However, at the moment, all the top-level decisions of the Gu family were controlled by Bai Wuqing.

"What if the master never wakes up? What should we do then?"

Bai Wuqing sat silent, unmoving. Nan Baihao knocked his own head as if he was trying to knock some solutions out. Gu Qianqian came out from the bedroom and said boldly, "Not a single one of my uncles is an easy one. Their roots in the family are deep and they are elder; if they learn the truth, they would definitely not let go so easily. They might even have already begun to stir internally for the power struggle."

Bai Wuqing suddenly stood up: "Let Chenxing impersonate my brother’s voice and deceive them."
