Chapter 209 Going Mad

Just as Su Xiangwan had thought.

When the family arrived at the hospital entrance.

The troops have arrived.

When Gu Yanxiao saw Su Xiangwan holding the child, he quickly stepped forward and took Niannian from her arms.

The little one seemed to sense the somber atmosphere around him, and nestled obediently in Gu Yanxiao's arms, quiet and adorable.

I saw Huo Chang'an and Feng Yuanzheng.

Mr. Gu led his mother forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Uncle Huo, Uncle Feng."

This isn't the military base. Huo Chang'an and his group are here as long-time friends of the Gu family, so it's most appropriate for Gu's father to address them this way.

Most importantly, this is a hospital, a place with many people and a lot of gossip.

If people find out the identities of Huo Chang'an and his superiors, it could easily lead to trouble.

"Jianguo, please accept my condolences."

Huo Chang'an looked into Gu's father's reddened eyes.

He sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said...

"..." Gu's father wanted to say something, but felt as if something was blocking his throat, so he could only force himself to nod.

"Let's go in first!" Feng Yuanzheng's feelings were also complicated.

Although Grandpa Gu has done a lot of foolish things over the years.

But after all, they were comrades who had fought side by side on the battlefield, who had entrusted their backs to each other to kill the enemy, and who had shared life and death.

Now that he's gone, one less comrade-in-arms who went down the battlefield with him.

Ultimately, it's still about being heartbroken and sad.

As soon as I entered the hospital corridor, I heard Gu Jianjun's irritable voice making a scene.

Gu Jianjun simply couldn't believe that his father had only gone to the hospital in a moment of agitation and then died.

He was arguing with the doctors and nurses at the hospital.

This is why the people in the hospital, having exhausted all other options, hurriedly called the military.

When Gu Jianjun heard him insulting the doctor, his father's face darkened, and he quickened his pace. As he turned the corner, he saw Gu Jianjun grabbing the doctor's collar and hurling insults at him.

Seeing this, Gu's father's face darkened, and he scolded, "Gu Jianjun, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing his father's voice, Gu Jianjun, who had just pushed the doctor to the ground, froze. He turned around, saw his father, and rushed over, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Gu Jianguo, how dare you come here! It's all your fault! You're the one who killed Dad! How dare you show your face like this!"

As he spoke, Gu Jianjun raised his fist, about to smash it into his father's face.

Father Gu snorted coldly, grabbed his fist, and pushed him away without even using much force.

"Gu Jianjun, what's wrong with you? What do you mean I killed the old man?"

Gu's father looked at Gu Jianjun, who seemed like a madman, with disgust in his eyes.

She turned to help the doctor who had been pushed down by Gu Jianjun up, and said coldly to Gu Jianjun, "Also, what did the doctor do wrong? Why did you hit him?"

Gu's father knew his younger brother all too well; he had always been arrogant and domineering, relying on his status as a member of the Gu family.

Even after growing up, he didn't do anything productive. He managed to get a leisurely job through his grandfather's connections, but he was always idle and spent his days drinking and playing cards with his cronies.

That's why the two brothers never had a good relationship.

Now, seeing Gu Jianjun acting so recklessly even in the hospital...

Gu Jianguo was truly furious.

If it weren't for the fact that it was around the time of Old Master Gu's passing, they would need to make proper arrangements for his funeral.

He really wanted to give Gu Jianjun another good beating.

"If it weren't for you, there would still be you..."

Gu Jianjun pointed at his father with eyes wide with rage, then at Gu Yanxiao, his voice venomous: "If you hadn't refused to save my Yanfeng, how could the old man have fallen ill from anger? It's all your fault..."

"And you quacks! The old man was clearly getting better, how could he suddenly die! You must have done something..."

Gu Jianjun attacked everyone he could see with a frenzy.

His support was gone, his reliance for the rest of his life was gone, and the fear in his heart made him want to vent his frustration wildly.

"Enough!"

Gu's father coldly retorted, "What do you mean we refuse to save Gu Yanfeng? Gu Yanfeng committed a crime, and the law will deal with him. How can we save him? On what grounds should we save him?"

"And doctors, medicine can't cure all diseases, and doctors aren't gods. If a doctor really made a mistake, then produce evidence, instead of acting like a madman and making baseless accusations!"

Seeing that a reasonable family member had finally arrived, the doctor rubbed his aching tailbone and stepped forward, saying, "Mr. Gu's health had indeed recovered considerably, but this family member rushed in without regard for the consequences and told him about Gu Yanfeng's execution, which caused him to be unable to accept it, resulting in a spike in blood pressure and a cerebral hemorrhage. That's why we couldn't save him..."

"That's right!"

A nurse standing nearby, her eyes red, stepped forward and said, "I tried everything I could to stop him. I told him that the patient couldn't handle any more stress, but he wouldn't listen and even hit me..."

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense, it's clearly you who didn't do your best to save people..."

Hearing the doctor and nurses' accusations and seeing his father's increasingly grim expression, Gu Jianjun panicked and roared in a show of bravado, trying to interrupt them.

“Nurse Li is right. She was trying to stop this man, telling him that the patient was still in critical condition and that visitors were not allowed, but he wouldn't listen and even pushed Nurse Li to the ground…”

"Exactly! He was the one yelling and shouting in the ward, which upset the patient, but now he's blaming others. He's shameless..."

Surrounded by onlookers, patients and their families also spoke up to testify for the doctors and nurses.

After all, they had all witnessed Gu Jianjun's commotion in the corridor earlier that day, and they couldn't stand by and watch him try to blame someone else for Old Master Gu's death.

"I didn't! It wasn't me! It was clearly..."

Gu Jianjun hadn't expected that so many people would speak up for Nurse Li.

He roared, his fierce gaze sweeping over the crowd, trying to shut them up.

Just then, a dignified voice suddenly rang out: "Shut up!"

The voice did not belong to Gu's father, but to Huo Chang'an.

He and Feng Yuanzheng were at the corner and heard everything clearly.

Huo Chang'an and Feng Yuanzheng, who already knew Gu Jianjun's character well and disliked him quite a bit, now despised him even more...
