The car drove under the cover of night, stopping at the entrance of Cinema City, where Lu Wanwan got out.
The driver asked in a low voice, "Young Master, are we heading to the airport now?"
"Yes." Gu Annan’s expression turned cold and stern again, "To the airport, and make it quick."
They sped all the way to the airport, where Zhao Chen had already arranged for a plane to be ready as quickly as possible.
The man who got out of the car strode with long steps, his face as gloomy as if it were about to rain.
"Mr. Gu, rest assured, the old madam’s health isn’t particularly bad at the moment, just a bit agitated emotionally. The doctors have said that there’s no danger to her life, though due to her age, her physical condition isn’t that great," Zhao Chen said as they walked.
Gu Annan, with a grave face, asked, "How could this suddenly happen? Who said that?"
Zhao Chen fell silent for a moment.
This matter still had him nervous.
He had just received the news that the old madam had suddenly fainted and been hospitalized; when she woke up, she insisted on seeing Mr. Gu in Manchester.
But given the old madam’s health, this was simply impossible.
The old madam was stubborn, and no one could persuade her, so the people there had said that they would contact Mr. Gu to come back immediately, which had calmed her somewhat.
Rumor had it that it was because the old madam had learned about those two children of Mr. Gu.
But as to how she knew about it, Zhao Chen did not know even now.
Mr. Gu had already instructed earlier that this matter should be kept hidden from the Gu Family until he gave the word.
Zhao Chen also knew Mr. Gu’s intention; if the Gu Family learned about it before the right moment, it would certainly not be peaceful.
And what Ms. Lu had always been worried about? Naturally, it was about the Gu Family forcefully taking the children away.
"I don’t know yet, you might need to ask the old madam in person. But Mr. Gu, I’ve absolutely kept it under wraps, I haven’t mentioned it to anyone."
Gu Annan moved quickly, his voice grave, "Even if I asked her, she would not tell me. Have the people over there keep an eye out, find out exactly who spoke about it."
Zhao Chen, sensing his mood, feared that if he was even slightly agitated, things could get worse.
"I will have someone look into this. However, Mr. Gu, even if I don’t share it with the Gu Family, I can’t guarantee that no one else knows about the children; it might have been found out unintentionally. You’ve only told me about it, but others might not necessarily know. So..."
Gu Annan said indifferently, "If it was indeed an unintended disclosure, I am surely aware that it will not cause harm. Zhao Chen, don’t worry about such a problem."
Only then did Zhao Chen feel relieved, knowing that Mr. Gu was calm and clear-headed.
What he feared was that once it involved Miss Lu, he would not be able to stay calm.
These were not thoughts he had come up with on his own, but had just been reminded by his wife.
As soon as there was turmoil with the old madam, his boss and lady had also been informed at once.
The most urgent thing now was to settle this matter quietly.
"Have father and mother gone back yet?"
Zhao Chen, not surprised by his deduction, honestly replied, "The old madam’s sudden illness is no small matter, everyone was informed. The lady called, and they are already preparing to return home. Mr. Gu... the lady already knows, so I couldn’t keep it hidden; I only said what I could."
Gu Annan had already walked up to the plane, stopping in his tracks, "You stay in Manchester, in case any trouble arises here. Notify me immediately if anything happens. During my absence, I don’t want anything happening here that I wouldn’t want to see."
He did not want Lu Wanwan to know about the Gu Family’s opposition to her just yet, hoping these issues could be resolved by the time she found out.
