And watching that retreating figure, Gu Qingfeng’s tears finally fell uncontrollably.
Fifty years had slipped by, and the once beautiful, cardamom-aged young girl had now become silver-haired.
If time could start over, he would use his life to protect her and their son for a lifetime of peace.
The master of Gu Garden.
The Old Patriarch Gu of Yubao Square.
Standing steadfast with a cane in the cold wind.
A somewhat desolate figure, seemingly filled with heavy guilt and unease.
Letting the cold wind blow through, letting the clear snow fall from the sky.
It seemed that at any moment, he could be buried by the wind and snow.
The next morning arrived.
Gu Cheng, who had fallen into a coma, woke up.
Upon waking, his first gaze was one of confusion.
He didn’t know why he had passed out or perhaps fallen asleep...
But when he saw the empty hospital bed, he was struck as if by lightning.
He stared with wide eyes,
Disbelievingly looking at the empty hospital bed.
Before he could even sort out his thoughts, doctors and nurses came in for the rounds.
"Where is the patient?"
The nurse exclaimed in shock, asking the equally bewildered Gu Cheng.
It was then that Gu Cheng came to his senses. The moment he suddenly stood up, he felt as though his entire body was electrocuted.
A bout of trembling and convulsions.
Afterward, it was as if all his blood had been blocked in one place.
Gu Cheng’s vision darkened, and with a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
The doctors and nurses were no longer concerned about the whereabouts of the patient as they hurried to resuscitate Gu Cheng.
Ning Wanru’s home was in chaos.
Ning Wanru, who had not yet cleared her suspicion, had disappeared.
And Gu Cheng had suffered a stroke.
At this moment, the only one who could take charge, Gu Jianhua, was unreachable abroad.
And now, the one who could Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
Where did Ning Wanru go?
Did she run away or was she kidnapped?
Li Fen didn’t care about that at all.
At this moment, she wished nothing more than for that old hag to die sooner rather than later.
As for Ning Wanru, that old woman with twisted thoughts, an extremely dark and perverted heart,
Li Fen felt nothing but hatred.
And now, Gu Cheng, due to cerebral hemorrhage, was also hospitalized.
Their younger daughter, Gu Yalan, was also in the hospital.
By Li Fen’s side, there were only her two sons, Gu Jiansheng and Gu Jiangang.
At this moment, Gu Jiansheng seemed to have shed overnight the innocence that never really belonged in the Gu family.
He knew that the family truly was falling apart.
Gu Jiansheng had not anticipated that the retribution would come so swiftly.
Nor could he have ever imagined that his grandmother was colluding with a human trafficking ring.
Although there was no evidence, he knew his grandmother was complicated.
This wasn’t baseless rumor.
Because it was Lin Qinghuan’s accusation.
The woman who could smile as she stabbed you, deceptive through and through.
And a family, seemingly strong, could collapse in an instant.
Now, not only did they have two family members in the hospital, but their grandmother was missing as well. Although they had reported her disappearance to the police, they currently had no leads; nobody knew where she had gone.
Some even said she had fled out of guilt.
Gu Jiansheng knew that his grandmother might not have left.
It seemed as though she had something to rely on,
Knowing that she would be fine.
Otherwise, when he went to see his grandmother, she would not have appeared so calm and composed.
So where did his grandmother go?
At this moment, he actually had an answer in his heart.
Perhaps, she had been taken away by Gu Qingfeng.
But why hadn’t he acted before?
There had been many opportunities before.
And now, his grandmother still had unshaken suspicions hanging over her.
