After dealing with the local tyrant's body, Chen Nian made up a plausible excuse and quickly gathered the brothers under the local tyrant's command.

In the past, the local tyrant was very nice to Chen Nian, so when the local tyrant had an accident, no one suspected that it was Chen Nian's fault, and Chen Nian also did very well in the organization.

After completing this step, Chen Nian began to plan for the next step.

Although the Gu family has encountered such a big problem now, it is far from enough for Chen Nian. She wants Jiang Ranran and those three damn children to be buried with her son.

After Chen Fan and Gu Tingchen left, he took Gu Tingchen to his home.

"I know there are some unexpected events in your company right now, but I believe you will be able to solve this problem smoothly." Chen Fan's voice was very gentle.

Chen Fan knew very well that even if Gu Tingchen's company was facing such a crisis, it was not impossible for him to turn things around based on the connections Gu Tingchen had accumulated in the local area over the years and his abilities.

By then, she will be the one who stays by Gu Tingchen's side.

Chen Fan had already begun to imagine the wonderful life he and Gu Tingchen would have in the future, and took off his coat.

Gu Tingchen's face was cold.

Chen Fan leaned on Gu Tingchen's back and said, "After encountering something like this, even if Jiang Ranran wants to divorce you, I will never give up on you. You know, I have liked you for a long time."

Gu Tingchen frowned. Even if he wanted to use Chen Fan, he would not have close contact with her.

Gu Tingchen dodged away immediately and said expressionlessly, "Thank you, but the current crisis of the Gu family has not passed. I will think about this after the Gu family's affairs are dealt with."

After saying this, Gu Tingchen left without looking back regardless of Chen Fan's attempts to persuade him to stay.

After Gu Tingchen left, Chen Fan's eyes became vicious. How could she not see that Gu Tingchen did not reject her because of the crisis of the Gu family, but simply because he still had feelings for Jiang Ranran.

The more this happened, the more she wanted to take Gu Tingchen away. She didn't believe that after Gu Tingchen's business recovered, he would still need Jiang Ranran who would divorce him at the critical moment.

After leaving Chen Fan's house, Gu Tingchen rushed to the hospital. The old man was lying on the hospital bed and was still in a coma, relying entirely on the ventilator beside him.

Gu Tingchen called the doctor over and asked, "How is my grandpa? Why has he been unconscious for so long?"

Ever since he was poisoned that day, the old man has been in a coma. Sometimes, even if he wakes up for a while in the middle of the process, he is still unconscious and will faint again after a while.

The doctor said helplessly: "The old man is old and can't stand such stimulation. In addition, due to the poisoning, his vital signs are very weak now. He must be observed in the hospital."

There is no other way.

Gu Tingchen felt dizzy, but he had to try his best to stay calm. Besides the old man, there were a lot of things waiting for him.

If he falls, the Gu family will fall completely.

Gu Tingchen spoke slowly, "I understand. I must give my grandfather the best medicine and make sure he wakes up."

The old man has made such great contributions to the Gu family and is extremely caring towards the younger generations. He should not be killed so easily.

The doctor nodded and said, "We will do our best, but your family members must be prepared for the worst."

There are many things that cannot be achieved by just hard work. The old man was in poor health and was old. After such a long time, even the best doctor could not guarantee that he would survive.

Gu Tingchen stayed by the old man's bedside day and night, while also having to deal with the mess left by the Gu family.

Since the news broke, Gu's employees have resigned one after another and the company is on the verge of bankruptcy.

At this moment, someone suddenly found Gu Tingchen.

This person is Lu Yuan.

After calling Gu Tingchen out of the hospital, Lu Yuan said directly, "I saw everything about your family on the Internet."

The last time I saw Gu Tingchen, he was still full of energy and vigor, but in just a few days, he had lost a lot of weight.

Gu Tingchen smiled bitterly, "You've seen it, so what? I can't suppress this news now even if I want to."

In the past, there were a lot of false news about the Gu family that were exposed on the Internet. At that time, the Gu family was still powerful, and it only took a few words to clarify the matter.

But now everyone is pushing the issue down. Even though there is only one picture without a beginning or an end, no one still believes the clarification issued by Gu Tingchen and others.

At this moment, Gu Tingchen was too lazy to care about these things.

"Where is Ranran? How is she now?" Lu Yuan asked calmly.

Every time Jiang Ranran was mentioned, Gu Tingchen couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.

"Ranran and I have already divorced. You go and comfort her." Gu Tingchen said helplessly.

If there was no other way, Gu Tingchen would not want to entrust Jiang Ranran to his former rival in love, but if Jiang Ranran continued to follow him, it would only implicate Jiang Ranran.

Lu Yuan said, "Don't tell me these useless things. I won't believe them. You and Ranran used to have such a good relationship, how could you suddenly cheat on me? Are these all excuses you made up?"

There are many things that are only clear to the bystanders, and Lu Yuan is that bystander.

Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran have been through so many hardships, not to mention they have a child. How could they just let go?

It goes without saying that this must be a reason Gu Tingchen came up with to protect Jiang Ranran.

"Does the truth of the matter still matter? The Gu family's situation is unstable now. They will go bankrupt in the next two days. Ranran will not have a good life if she follows me. What will happen to the child then?"

The more times like this happen, the more Gu Tingchen has to think about Jiang Ranran.

Since the Gu family might not be able to turn the situation around, he had to make sure he had no worries.

Lu Yuan was a little excited, "But haven't you ever thought about it? Ranran loves you so much, if something happens to you, won't she be sad?"

Lu Yuan and Jiang Ranran have known each other since childhood and can be considered childhood sweethearts. Lu Yuan also understands Jiang Ranran's thoughts.

Even if Jiang Ranran said something disheartening, she was actually the softest-hearted one.

If anything happened to Gu Tingchen, Jiang Ranran would definitely be heartbroken.

After looking at Gu Tingchen for a long time, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly. "I know your family might have been framed by someone. I can invest in you to help you get through this difficult time. Don't be too discouraged."

Gu Tingchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, the person willing to help him was Lu Yuan.

"Thank you." Gu Tingchen just said this calmly.

But this sentence already contains all of Gu Tingchen's gratitude.
