Upon hearing the news, Gu Xiuyuan's tense mood instantly relaxed.
When K fell into the sea and disappeared, he was unconscious when they looked for him, so they "protected" him.
Since Gu Xiuwen and Huo Zhengfeng have no dealings with each other, that K himself is also Huo Zhengfeng's man.
Yuchi Lei's investigation revealed that the forces used to hunt down K were hired at a very high cost. To spend so much money, they must have mastered a lot of secrets.
Now that he is awake, the current problem can be solved quickly.
On the surface, Huo Shaoqian had no news at all, so the evidence from K was handed over to him to handle secretly.
Gu Xiuyuan and the other person are still handling the company's affairs.
…
Huo Zhengting was beaten while in detention, which made people wonder if there was another hidden story behind the case. With the company's public relations and public opinion guidance, the public opinion began to reverse.
Hospital
Huo Zhengting is still under observation in the ICU. The medical staff and guards here are all his own people, so the news has not leaked.
Ji Shuyu visits her father in the ward every few days. Because the visiting time is short and she has to keep it secret, most of the time she can only hold her father's hand. She said, "Dear, listen."
Huo Zhengting felt very sad and felt sorry for his daughter who was under such great pressure.
Actually, they had been keeping an eye on Huo Zhengfeng's movements since he returned to China, but apart from living a life of debauchery and doing some ridiculous things, he hadn't made any major moves. They hadn't expected that he had already started planning before he came, and it was their negligence.
Ji Shuyu held his father's hand tightly and told him: It's almost over.
Coming out of the ward, Ji Shuyu looked at his grandmother.
After Gu Bin's death, she has been busy with company affairs.
Since the hospital's surveillance system had not been repaired, the accusation of "murder" could not be proven, but the charge could not be shaken off.
The old man has lost a lot of weight.
Ji Shuyu fed her grandmother, but after two bites, the old woman shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to eat anymore.
"Grandma, my dad wouldn't do that!" she explained.
"Grandma knows." Old Mrs. Gu smiled weakly.
She also felt a little ashamed to face what her son had done.
"How's your dad?"
Ji Shuyu shook her head, "No improvement."
The old man listened and sighed, "It will get better soon." The old lady took out a file bag from the cabinet and said, "Originally, I wanted to give it to you after grandma passed away."
These are all the assets under her name. The Huo family is in trouble now and has constant financial problems. Although these cannot solve any problems, it is at least a token of her appreciation.
"Grandma!" Ji Shuyu called her disapprovingly.
"It will be yours sooner or later, so why not solve this little problem now?"
Ji Shuyu hugged the old woman and said, "I don't want it. I only want grandma's."
Even knowing this, it won't change anything.
"Silly child, it's not like something has happened right now." The old woman touched her head distressedly, "Grandma just wants to help you."
Ji Shuyu's eyes were red, and the old man sighed silently in his heart, hoping that all this could be resolved as soon as possible.
…
Gu Xiuyuan also came to the hospital to see his grandmother, and it was already evening when the two of them left the hospital.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Xiuyuan did not go home as usual.
"Where do you want to go?" Ji Shuyu turned to look at him.
"Take you out to relax." He smiled gently.
"But..." Ji Shuyu was a little worried about her family. She had four children at home, and three of them were "crying for food."
"Just a moment."
Seeing that she was worried, Gu Xiuyuan held her hand.
The car stopped by the river.
He opened the backpack and took out a cup of milk tea and a small cake from the thermal box.
"This is……"
"Don't think about anything now." Gu Xiuyuan kissed her forehead, "Just pretend nothing happened, just pretend we've just escaped from this alien world!"
She had been so exhausted during this time, and he wanted her to relax, even if only for a moment.
Ji Shuyu laughed as she listened, but her eyes felt a little sore.
Gu Xiuyuan put the milk tea with a straw in her hand, and then held her hand in his palm.
Ji Shuyu felt a little sour in her nose. She lowered her head and took a sip. It was warm and sweet in her heart.
"Xiuyuan..."
She had so many touching feelings and so many words of gratitude in her heart, but she didn't know where to start.
"Didn't you call me husband?" Gu Xiuyuan lowered his eyes.
"Husband." She was obedient.
Gu Xiuyuan was amused and then said, "Wife."
He knew what she was thinking, "We are husband and wife, why should we pretend to be grateful?"
"Whatever I do for you is what I should do, and I am willing to do it."
Ji Shuyu smiled, but there was no such thing as "should". This trouble was far beyond her imagination. If it weren't for him...
"Silly boy, didn't we say that no matter what happens, we will face it together?"
Ji Shuyu listened and leaned on his shoulder.
The wind was a little cold, so Gu Xiuyuan opened his coat and wrapped her in his arms, gently stroking her back to soothe her tired and nervous emotions.
"Lean on me when you're tired. No matter what happens, your husband will help you." He said and kissed her forehead.
Ji Shuyu was moved and hugged him tighter. "Hubby, I love you."
"I know." Gu Xiuyuan smiled.
Ji Shuyu looked up and pouted in dissatisfaction: "Shouldn't this be the time to say 'I love you too'?"
Phew…
"Need I say this?" He pressed his forehead against hers. "In my heart, you are more important than anyone or anything else." He looked deeply into her eyes.
Ji Shuyu listened and tiptoed to kiss his lips...
…
It was already late when the two returned home.
The two went upstairs and saw Haohao sitting on the stairs leading to the third floor. As soon as he saw them coming, he quickly wiped away his tears.
"Haohao, what's wrong?" Ji Shuyu stepped forward.
Haohao's eyes were red. He missed his father, but it had been so long and there was no news from him...
"Aunt, Dad will come, right?" Haohao said, tears falling, "Huo Wenjun said Dad... said Dad won't come, wuwu..."
Huo Wenjun?
It’s Huo Zhengfeng’s annoying grandson again.
"No, Dad will come." Ji Shuyu comforted.
He is the most pitiful among the babies. He is at the age where he understands everything, but he cannot tell them the interests involved.
I have to think about my parents, and at the same time, I have to coax my younger brothers and sisters like a little adult.
"Baby, everything will be fine." Ji Shuyu hugged him, soothed his emotions, and then took him to talk to his mother.
The other end of the video.
He Wanyan looked thin and haggard. Looking at her son's pitiful appearance, she couldn't control her tears.
She had been out for more than ten days. As for Huo Shaoqian's condition, she only knew that he was injured but not in danger of life.
Because she was unaware of the situation around her, she hadn't seen him for a whole day and didn't know how serious his injury was.
Every day when she opens her eyes, she looks everywhere for her "missing" husband.
Even though she knew it was an illusion, she was still immersed in the initial feeling of uncertainty about her husband's life or death.
