In the end, Yan Xi went to the Gu family’s old residence. On the way, it rained and the temperature plummeted.
Yan Xi gritted her teeth and stood in the rain for a while. After squeezing out a few tears, she entered the main hall of the old residence.
She waited for a while before seeing Old Master Gu walk out of the study.
He glared at the servant beside him and reprimanded, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get Young Madam a blanket. Get the kitchen to boil some ginger tea.”
Then, he looked at Yan Xi. “Why did you come out on such a cold day?”
“Grandpa!” Yan Xi shed a few more tears. She choked and said, “I don’t want to trouble you, but Gu Shen and I really can’t live anymore. Gu Shen is seriously injured. Someone wants to kill him. Grandpa, I’m so scared. Please save us!”
“What do you mean?” Gu Hai frowned and said seriously, “How could Gu Shen be injured? Don’t cry. Tell me what’s going on.”
Yan Xi wiped her tears and told Old Master Gu about the incident. In the end, she did not forget to add, “Grandpa, Gu Shen was worried that this matter would affect the Gu Corporation, so he kept it to himself. He didn’t dare to go to the hospital even though he was so seriously injured. He could only hire a private doctor to treat him at home.”
Yan Xi glanced at Old Master Gu’s expression and continued to cry. “He didn’t say anything, but I was really afraid. That’s why I came to see you at this time. Grandpa, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb you.”
“It’s okay.” Gu Hai sighed. “How is Gu Shen now?”
“The wound has been treated by the doctor, and the gunshot wound on his shoulder is not a big deal. Gu Shen was lucky. If he had been a little unlucky, that shot would have hit his heart.”
Gu Hai’s frown deepened. He patted his chest. “Who did this? Have you found out?”
Yan Xi sobbed. She looked at Gu Hai with fear in her eyes. “Grandpa, I don’t dare to say it.”
“What are you afraid of? Tell me everything you know.”
Yan Xi avoided his gaze and cried silently.
Gu Hai’s expression darkened and he urged, “This concerns Gu Shen’s life. Why are you still hesitating here?” He was an impatient person, especially when he was angry.
Yan Xi was still waiting. She secretly pinched herself and tears flowed out. The moment she looked up again, the door was smashed.
Gu Sheng’s voice came from outside the door.
“Open the door. Open the door now. Let me in!”
This idiot really came. Yan Xi smiled. It was not in vain that she deliberately leaked the news before coming.
Gu Hai said irritably, “Hurry up and stop him from knocking. Let him in.”
“Yes.”
As soon as the servant opened the door, Gu Sheng rushed in fiercely. When he saw Yan Xi, he immediately strode towards her.
Yan Xi screamed and immediately hid behind Old Master Gu. “Grandpa, save me. He wants to kill me.”
“Gu Sheng!” Old Master Gu warned. “What do you want?”
“Dad.” Gu Sheng wiped the rain off his face and glared at Yan Xi. Then, he said to Old Master Gu, “Dad, you have to believe me. I didn’t hurt Gu Shen! They’re slandering me!”
This idiot. Yan Xi smiled sarcastically. She stuck her head out from behind Old Master Gu and said timidly, “Uncle, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t say that you were the one who injured Gu Shen. It’s just that…”
She bit her lip and asked, “How did Uncle know about Gu Shen’s injury since he hasn’t told anyone yet?”
Gu Sheng choked. He glanced at Old Master Gu and hastened to explain, “Of course someone told me. Why did you come to the old residence? Are you trying to slander me?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Dad, I…”
Gu Hai interrupted Gu Sheng. He looked at his disappointing son and smacked his hand on the coffee table. “Tell me the truth. Were you the one who injured Gu Shen?”
