Chapter 235 A Powerful Will Awakens Him
Luo Zhiwei squatted on the ground, the image of Gu Hancheng blocking her way kept flashing through her mind, and she couldn't shake it off.
Lu Jingxiao didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only stay with her silently and gently reassure her, "Baby, everything will be alright. With Si Ming here, your uncle will be fine."
When Zhao Yulan fired the gun, he wanted to stand in front of Luo Zhiwei, but he didn't expect Gu Hancheng to rush out and push him down.
Before she could even stand up straight, he rushed out... He didn't protect the baby. She was terrified that the bullet would hit Weiwei.
Unexpectedly... Uncle rushed out at that moment, shielding Weiwei in front of him, and... incidentally saved his life.
Gu Yulin's feelings were also complicated. Being calm in the face of danger was just a label; when faced with family, even people like them would inevitably panic.
“Weiwei, your uncle is a lucky man, and you haven’t even acknowledged him yet. Just for that reason, he won’t die.” Gu Yulin himself wasn’t very confident: “Get up first. We can only wait now.”
Self-blame and guilt came later.
Only when a person is alive can they have the opportunity to blame themselves and feel regret; once a person is gone, there is no place to feel regret.
Lu Jingxiao helped her up. Luo Zhiwei seemed to have figured something out. She looked up at the man in front of her with a firm gaze and her voice was cold and terrifying: "Ah Xiao, I will make Zhao Yulan wish she were dead. She dared to fire a gun, so she should be prepared to die!"
She had been caught in the rain and didn't want Zhao Yulan to feel the injustice as well.
This time, she only exposed the previous secrets; she didn't intend to get involved in how to deal with her. But unexpectedly... this person didn't appreciate it at all.
Did she shoot and hurt the person she cared about?
Then don't blame her for being impolite.
"Okay, I'll handle this."
Lu Jingxiao called Wei Mingfeng almost immediately and asked him to handle the matter.
Soon, the Gu family also caught up with them.
Seeing the faltering steps of Madam Gu and Grandpa Gu, Luo Zhiwei felt a pang of guilt. She knelt down abruptly, her voice choked with sobs: "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had been more decisive, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
Madam Gu immediately helped him up with a pained expression, her tone gentle: "Silly child, he took the bullet for you willingly. As a father, protecting his child is his duty. How could I blame you?"
She looked at Gu Yulin with concern: "Your uncle..."
"They're still trying to save him. Si Ming is inside, he'll be fine."
Gu Yulin answered immediately.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had all witnessed Si Ming's medical skills, so they were naturally at ease.
"That's good, that's good. It's good that Si Ming is here."
Grandpa Gu said very seriously, "Don't blame yourself. I've already handed Zhao Yulan over to my subordinates to handle. You don't need to worry about it!"
His sharp eyes and incisive attitude made them tremble involuntarily for a moment. The old man coldly snorted: "You've been living in peace for too long. People are riding on your heads and you're still hesitant to do this."
Apologize?
What's there to apologize for?
If you make a mistake, just accept the punishment.
Aside from the deserved punishment and refusing any form of apology, they went further and brought the person to the old house.
I wanted to see how they would handle it, but to my surprise, everyone from top to bottom was so indecisive.
He was also shot.
Wait until Gu Hancheng wakes up, then we'll see how he teaches him a lesson.
Gu Yulin: "......"
He bowed very respectfully, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very proactive: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I didn't handle it well and I didn't do a good job as the successor."
Grandpa Gu reprimanded him sternly: "It was indeed your fault. I will clean up this mess. When your uncle wakes up, you and he will be put in solitary confinement together."
Gu Yulin couldn't help but feel a lingering fear; his grandfather was still so fierce.
He didn't care about being put in solitary confinement; he figured he'd just get a good beating inside anyway. His uncle...
"What?"
Luo Zhiwei didn't understand what it meant. What was this solitary confinement?
What did Gu Yulin and he do wrong that they were put in solitary confinement for?
"grandfather..."
Grandpa Gu then adopted a gentle attitude, looking tenderly at Luo Zhiwei, his tone completely different from before: "Weiwei, this has nothing to do with you, you don't need to worry about it. As the heir, your elder brother did not do well, and it is normal for him to be punished."
"Also, don't worry about your father, he'll be fine."
If something really happens, then he can only blame himself for being indecisive and ruining his own life.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She suddenly didn't know whether she should plead for them or continue to worry.
**
Three hours later, Si Ming finally emerged from the operating room.
The moment he took off his mask, everyone gathered around. Seeing the relaxed expression on his face, they didn't need to ask any more questions.
That's enough to explain the problem.
"Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, Uncle is alright. The bullet didn't hit any vital organs. We've already taken timely measures. Uncle will stay in the ICU for two days. Once his vital signs are stable, he can be transferred to a regular ward."
Grandpa Gu also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"You've worked so hard today."
Si Ming nodded slightly, then turned to look at Gu Yulin and Lu Jingxiao, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Wasn't Uncle at the old house? How could he have been shot?"
Who's so bold...?
"This matter..." Gu Yulin said briefly.
Si Ming: "......"
I should have known better than to ask.
That's really bad.
"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, I have some things to attend to, so I won't be able to talk to you any longer." Before leaving, he reminded everyone, "We can't see him in the ICU, so you don't all need to stay here. Just leave one or two people to watch over him. I will let you know as soon as Uncle wakes up."
His main concern was for the two elderly people; it must be so hard for them to sit there waiting at their age.
Moreover... they've just lost their child to their parents; if they stay here and watch over them, what if they can't handle it and collapse first?
Gu Hanlin nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mom and Dad, you go back first. There's me, Yu Lin, Bei Xiao, Weiwei Jingxiao, and I here. That's enough people."
He then looked at his wife and continued, "Let Ayu accompany you back so you can get some rest."
Grandpa Gu didn't refuse; his wife's health couldn't withstand the strain, so they should go back.
——
The following day, perhaps due to his strong will to survive, Gu Hancheng woke up directly in the ICU.
Si Ming stood in front of Gu Hancheng: "..."
My uncle's steely will is a bit frightening.
"Si Ming, how's Weiwei? Is Weiwei alright?"
When Gu Hancheng woke up, he wasn't concerned about his own injuries, but rather about Luo Zhiwei.
I wonder how Weiwei is doing after she fainted yesterday. I wonder if she's worried sick about her.
Thinking of his slightly nervous expression, he felt very gratified; at least he had the child's concern.
Before I had children, I didn't envy them or miss them. Now that I have my own children, I naturally hope that they will remember me.
But he didn't want Weiwei to worry too much.
“They were guarding outside, and my sister-in-law never left.”
Gu Hancheng narrowed his eyes... his sister-in-law?
"What did you call Weiwei?"
Si Ming: "!!!!"
Help me, I said the wrong thing.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. It was Weiwei who was waiting outside." Si Ming quickly corrected himself: "Uncle, let me give you another full check-up. If everything is fine, you can be moved to a regular ward."
Meanwhile, Luo Zhiwei, who had been waiting outside, also received the news.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that nothing happened. It's good that nothing happened.
Very good!
