Chapter 449: Chapter 450: It Would Be Good If Lingyue Died Here!
The two of them talked for over an hour before Senior Master Xiang was finally willing to let Gu Junzhu go.
Leaving the partitioned room and returning to the ward, the food that Xiao Shumiao and Gu Junzhu bought had already been put away. Lingyue had his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep again.
Xiao Shumiao was lying on her side next to him, her small hand gripping Lingyue’s hand, she was soundly asleep.
Senior Master Gu and Gu Junzhu tread lightly, careful not to wake them up.
Gu Junzhu went to Ye Xingbei’s side and whispered, “I’ll stay awake, so you go and get some sleep.”
Ye Xingbei had been vigilant since the moment the two children were saved, without a wink of sleep, her eyes had turned red from exhaustion.
Ye Xingbei was indeed too exhausted to continue.
Besides, since both children were safe now, she let her guard down, and drowsiness overcame her. She felt she could fall asleep at any moment.
Feeling reassured with Gu Junzhu watching over them, she nodded and said, “I’ll go and rest in the partitioned room for a while, wake me up if anything happens.”
After she went to rest, Gu Junzhu told Senior Master Xiang, “Uncle Xiang, you should also rest and eat something. You need to take care of yourself in order to have the energy to look after Xiao Yue.”
Senior Master Xiang nodded, “Alright, I’ll go sleep too. Let me know when Xiao Yue wakes up.”
Currently, he cherished his health more than anything.
He wanted to live a few more years, at least until his grandson was old enough to fend for himself.
Just as he was about to leave the ward to eat something and rest, his trusted subordinate knocked on the door and walked in, whispering, “Eldest Xiang, we’ve brought Ling Fangzhou and Xie Wennan here.”
During this visit to Jiang City, Senior Master Xiang was trying to maintain a low profile to avoid revealing his identity, so his subordinate addressed him by his name instead of his title.
Senior Master Xiang nodded, “Take them to the room next door.”
In order to ensure the safety of his son and Lingyue, the high-handed Fifth Lord of Gu had reserved the entire half of the corridor on the day they were admitted.
The subordinate saluted before turning around and leaving.
Without Senior Master Xiang saying anything, Gu Junzhu knew why he had asked for Ling Fangzhou and Xie Wennan to be brought over.
Gu Junzhu asked Senior Master Xiang, “Do you need me to accompany you?”
“No need,” Senior Master Xiang glanced at Lingyue, “Stay here with them, I’ll go over alone.”
He strode off to the room next door.
In the room next door, Ling Fangzhou’s brow was furrowed while Xie Wennan looked panicked.
Senior Master Xiang’s subordinates had brought Ling Fangzhou and Xie Wennan over in a rather rough and blunt manner, almost akin to an abduction.
The only difference was that these two were informed that Lingyue was gravely injured and was hospitalized here, and they were asked to visit him in the hospital.
Both of them were completely in the dark about whether it was real or not, and they had their freedom restricted, being forcibly brought here.
Besides being perplexed, Ling Fangzhou was more concerned about his son.
Meanwhile, Xie Wennan was just simply scared.
The people who had brought them over were menacing, and she had even sneaked a glimpse of a gun on them.
In this country, only two types of people carry guns.
One type are the police, and the other are criminals.
Xie Wennan did not think that Lingyue could have any connections with the police, and so… they must have been kidnapped by criminals.
All the way, Xie Wennan was trembling with fear, feeling as if her courage was about to shatter.
However, what surprised her was that these people had indeed brought her and Ling Fangzhou to the hospital.
Looking at the red cross sign on the hospital, a strong hope suddenly rose in her heart: If only Lingyue could die here! That would be great!
