Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Feeling Depressed_1 Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Feeling Depressed_1 Huo Linong glanced at his injured right shoulder, “How’s the wound? It seems to be bleeding.”
“It’s fine, it’s dried up.”
“Let’s talk about it after dinner!”
On the time of their conversation, the chef started serving food. Huo Beijiang used the top-level meal card from the hospital, so there was always food available, whenever they came.
Provincial city, Gongxi Family’s home
At dinner, Gongxi Heng and Chen Cuihua were eating face-to-face when the butler’s surprised voice was heard outside the door.
“Young Master, why are you back at this time?”
“Eh? Has Yunqi returned?” Chen Cuihua put down her chopsticks, craned her neck to look outside the living room, but Yunqi had already hurried in without giving her a chance to see clearly.
Gongxi Heng raised an eyebrow, “Is something wrong?” The look on his son’s face clearly indicated that something was wrong.
Gongxi Yunqi slumped into the chair with a bang, grabbed the drink in front of Chen Cuihua, gulped it down before finally managing to calm down.
The couple was so scared that they stopped eating and gathered around him.
“What happened, son?” Chen Cuihua asked worriedly.
“Dad! Tell me, who exactly is our school’s Principal Huo?”
Gongxi Heng’s brow furrowed and then relaxed, again furrowed and again relaxed before he said, “He’s a famous professor at Imperial City University, a close disciple of Fan Yuanshan, a fellow of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and also a junior fellow of Jin Lifu.”
“All of that aside,” Gongxi Yunqi was obviously not so easy to appease.
The couple exchanged a glance, Chen Cuihua gave a slight shake of her head.
Finally, Gongxi Heng then continued, “Have you heard of the Huo Family in the Imperial City?”
“Huo Family?” Gongxi Yunqi repeated the two words and his face suddenly turned pale. He fell back into the chair, unable to say anything for a long time.
His biggest capital and a source of pride, turned out to be so insignificant.
How was he supposed to compete or fight with Huo Beijiang?
The moment the principal arranged a helicopter, he should have known! It’s not possible to call in a helicopter that swiftly just by being rich.
“No wonder all of you tycoons sent us to a tiny town’s school.”
“Son, do you know the Huo Family?” Chen Cuihua asked.
“I didn’t initially but now I do!” He was raised to be the heir of the Gongxi Family, he was quite familiar with all the top families.
How could he possibly not know of the Imperial City’s Huo Family! Who wouldn’t know about Huo’s heavy machinery and aircraft manufacturing? For Huo’s family, an aircraft would be an insignificant matter.
“What exactly happened? Why did you come back at this time?”
Finally, Gongxi Yunqi spoke, “Nan Fei was pushed off the second floor at school today.”
Chen Cuihua, shocked, suddenly stood up and knocked over the cup in front of her, making the tablecloth wet.
“How is she doing? What did she injure?”
“The principal arranged for a helicopter to take her to the hospital urgently! I came to ask dad to check which hospital Nan Fei is in and how she’s doing. I need to see her myself to make sure she’s alright.”
Now, the only image he had in his mind was of Nan Fei lying on the ground, unconscious.
“I’ll try to find out, but I can’t guarantee anything,” Gongxi Heng said seriously and got up to make a call.
Chen Cuihua paced back and forth in the dining room, mumbling words that were hard to understand.
Gongxi Yunqi was getting dizzy from her pacing. “Mom, can you stop pacing?”
“Oh!” Chen Cuihua obediently sat down, and then angrily said, “Who the hell did this?”
