Chapter 459: Chapter 447 Gu Wenfeng’s Request Chapter 459: Chapter 447 Gu Wenfeng’s Request Nie Zhan was very pleased to hear that Gu Wenfeng had woken up. He knew that to Lu Jiaxin, Gu Wenfeng was not just a bodyguard but family, and had Gu Wenfeng indeed passed away, she would have been ridden with guilt for her entire life. Now that he was safe and sound, even if he were left with disabilities, it did not matter; Jiaxin could Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
Wang Yadan came in to report work to Nie Zhan and noticed that his expression had softened a lot. She asked, “Boss, is Miss Lu alright now?”
Nie Zhan replied with a smile, “She’s fine, she’s been discharged. If you have time, you can go see her and keep her company.”
Previously, as Jiaxin was preoccupied with Gu Wenfeng, she sank into sadness and guilt, so he took it upon himself to reject all visitors. Now that Gu Wenfeng’s life was no longer in danger, Jiaxin was also in the mood to receive guests.
Wang Yadan relaxed. In the past few days, every time Nie Zhan returned to the company, he had a stern face, creating a very somber atmosphere. Everyone even walked gently. But now, Miss Lu was safe and the alarm could be lifted.
After dealing with the important matters at hand, Nie Zhan headed to the Lu Residence. Upon arrival, he heard that Lu Jiaxin was in the garden and hurried over.
Seeing her with a basket full of flowers, Nie Zhan said, “Let the servants do these things. You’ve just been discharged and your body is still weak!”
Lu Jiaxin assured him that she was fine, explaining that the flowers were for Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin. Being cooped up in a hospital room must be suffocating, she reasoned. Fresh and beautiful flowers would make them feel better, and a good mood would help their bodies recover faster, so they could be discharged sooner.
Nie Zhan pretended to be jealous, “Jiaxin, you haven’t even given me flowers yet!”
Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but laugh, “How can you be jealous of a sick person? Alright, tomorrow morning I’ll cut a basket of flowers and have someone send them to your office.”
Today was an exception; usually, flowers are picked in the early morning. When the sun comes up, the flowers tend to wilt after being exposed to the heat and look listless.
Back in the living room, Lu Jiaxin said, “Big Brother Su told me today that the two kidnappers have confessed. Someone gave them one million to abduct me and throw me into the sea to feed the fish. It’s just that the leader of the kidnappers got greedy knowing that I’m worth hundreds of millions and wanted to kidnap me before demanding a ransom from you.”
Nie Zhan knew what she wanted to ask, “The person who contacted them was someone called Vulture. By the time we found Vulture, he was already dead. But don’t worry, I will uncover the mastermind behind this and kill him.”
Whose money was it that financed Vulture? Transfers leave a trail, and paying with cash means combing through those he dealt with to dig up the truth. No matter who it was, Nie Zhan wanted them dead.
Lu Jiaxin suggested, “Ah Zhan, I’ve been in Hong Kong for three years, and only He Zhuliang and Guo Kaibai have had a grudge against me. Could this have something to do with them?”
Nie Zhan replied, “He Zhuliang’s legs were broken by someone at the end of last year. The He Family has gone bankrupt, He Mingzhu has run away, and he doesn’t even have the money to treat his legs properly, leaving him disabled. Such a person doesn’t have the capacity to seek revenge against you. As for Guo Kaibai, I’ve already had someone investigate him.”
Lu Jiaxin was suspicious of Guo Kaibai, “He seduces other men’s wives, tricks them into becoming cuckold fathers, and then plots their downfall into disgrace and imprisonment. Even though my film was altered, given that man’s nature, he probably holds a grudge against me because of it and has targeted me.”
“Such a person is deeply scheming and brutally ruthless in his actions; even if he was the instigator, we may not find any evidence. Ah Zhan, the legal process won’t punish him.”
“If it turns out that he is indeed connected to this matter, I won’t let him off.”
A fierce light passed through Lu Jiaxin’s eyes, as she stated, “Ah Zhan, if this really has something to do with him, I want him dead.”
“We must take him down in one go, or there will be endless trouble.”
Nie Zhan held her in his arms and said softly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone involved in this get away.”
Two days later, Lu Jiaxin had recuperated and went to the hospital to visit Gu Wenfeng. He was recovering well and could already sit up. However, since both his hands and feet were injured, he wasn’t yet able to exert force and needed proper rest.
Gu Wenfeng said, “Jiaxin, I asked the doctor this morning, and he said I’m recovering very well. I should be able to leave the hospital in a week at most, and once I’m discharged, I’ll return to the Forty-nine City.”
Lu Jiaxin looked at him helplessly and said, “Before coming to see you, I went to see your primary doctor. You are indeed recovering well, but you need at least a month before you can be discharged, and even then, you’ll need to rest in bed at home.”
Given his situation, he wouldn’t be able to endure the journey even after a month, so returning to the Forty-nine City was out of the question. However, Lu Jiaxin planned to arrange for someone to pick up his sister-in-law and the two children as soon as she got back.
The two children were just in kindergarten, so staying here for three to five months wouldn’t be a problem. As for Gu Wenfeng’s wife, she wasn’t working either, just taking care of the children at home, so coming over wouldn’t cause any inconvenience.
Gu Wenfeng shook his head and said, “Medical resources are scarce now; if I stay this long, others won’t have beds. Jiaxin, I can’t be that selfish.”
Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment, then said, “Brother Gu, this is Recuperate Hospital, a private hospital. Hong Kong citizens don’t come here for medical treatment. So the issue of occupying medical resources you’re concerned about doesn’t exist.”
Gu Wenfeng knew that Recuperate Hospital was where the wealthy went for medical care, and even a minor cold could cost thousands of dollars: “Then, I have even more reason not to stay. With so much money, I wouldn’t sleep soundly.”
Miao Na interjected, “Brother Feng, just stay in the hospital and focus on healing. You don’t know that on the day you got injured, the boss was unwell but still waited outside the operating room, and she refused to go home after your surgery was successful, saying she wanted to wait until you woke up. It was Mr. Nie who forcibly took her away, but soon after getting home, she collapsed with a high fever. Once the fever went down and the doctor said she could go back, she didn’t want to and insisted on staying here until you woke up.”
Gu Wenfeng understood what Miao Na meant; if he insisted on being discharged after a week, Lu Jiaxin would never be at peace for the rest of her life. He sighed and said, “I’ll follow whatever arrangements you make.”
Seeing him relent, Lu Jiaxin was still happy, and she brought up the matter of rewards: “This time you risked your lives to save me. Miao Na and Big Brother Zong will get one million, Wang Lin one and a half million, and you two million. Brother Gu, would you like the money transferred to your account, or should I have He Bin buy you a house in the Forty-nine City?”
Gu Wenfeng said he had a duty to protect her and didn’t need a reward.
Lu Jiaxin said, “Everyone has, how can you be left out? If word gets out, people might think I’m miserly, who then would want to do business with me?”
Knowing he couldn’t refuse, Gu Wenfeng said, “Boss, could you convert this two million into medical equipment? With injuries like mine, I probably wouldn’t have been saved back on the Mainland. But here, not only did I survive, my arms and legs are still functional.”
Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment, then said, “Brother Gu, your left leg won’t be able to bear weight in the future.”
Gu Wenfeng knew that, but considering how many rounds from a Wooden Granary he took, just having a left leg that couldn’t bear weight was already fortunate: “I know, it’s alright, I can still use my right foot.”
At that moment, he had not expected to live; his only thought was to take down the kidnappers and protect Lu Jiaxin. Before losing consciousness, he regretted not calling his wife more often. Now everything was fine, he had survived, and he no longer had that regret.
