the next day
on Monday
Fu's Noble Hospital
Top floor
"Click——" the door was suddenly pushed open
Old Master Gong and Uncle Feng walked in angrily. "How could Dui Xiu be shot? What happened? Why did he go to City C?"
Bedside
The little girl lying on the corner of the bed was suddenly awakened and looked over with a little sleepy eyes.
"Miss Tan?" Uncle Feng exclaimed in surprise, "You've been guarding all night?"
The little girl woke up instantly, all her sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and she stood up with the help of the edge of the bed, "Mr. Gong, Mr. Gong, Uncle Feng——"
The old man's face was gloomy. "Let me ask you, how did he get injured?"
"He...he did it because—"
"Grandpa Gong, why are you here?" Mingchen walked in slowly, carrying a lunch box in his hand.
Behind
Fu Bangxi, dressed in a white coat, also walked in with a checklist.
"Grandpa Gong, Uncle Feng——"
Uncle Feng nodded, "Master Ming, Master Fu San——"
"Don't worry, Grandpa Gong, my second brother is fine now. He'll be fine once he wakes up!"
"Just wake up and it'll be fine?" The old man looked over angrily. "He was shot three times, and you tell me he'll wake up and it'll be fine?!"
Fu Bangxi restrained his expression, lowered his brows, and did not respond.
"How did he get injured? As a grandfather, don't I even have the right to know?!"
"What could have caused him to be injured by three bullets? Do you think I, an old man, have just lived a life of idleness and waiting to die?"
Several people's expressions changed slightly, and they didn't dare to respond rashly.
For a moment
The ward suddenly became cold.
The old man's deep and angry gaze shifted to the little girl in an instant, and he said in a strong and oppressive tone, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Several people suddenly looked over.
The little girl shuddered, her already numb body now seeming to have lost all feeling. She lowered her eyes and whispered softly, "It's...it's because of me. If it weren't for me..."
Mingchen took a big step forward, dropped the bag in his hand, and stepped forward to block the attack. He said, "Grandpa Gong, it's just some personal grudges in the business world. You don't want the Gong family to be deeply involved in this, right?"
"Personal vendetta? What kind of personal vendetta could be so disregarding of the Gong family's reputation?!" The old man's face was old but full of composure. His voice was subtly mocking, "Let her finish what she said. I want to hear what kind of personal vendetta it is!"
The little girl froze again, her clenched fists tightening and loosening, and she said in a hoarse voice, "It's because of me that Mr. Gong was seriously injured!"
"Girl?!" He turned around with dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not because of you!"
"What did you say? Because of you?!" The old man's eyes seemed to be like sharp blades, sweeping over fiercely.
Her eyebrows trembled slightly, her eyes red, and she nodded slowly, "Yes, it's because of me! If it weren't for my selfish desire to go to City C to attend the yacht party, Mr. Gong wouldn't be injured, and he wouldn't be lying here!"
"Girl?!"
"Miss Tan?!"
"Miss Tan?!"
In the ward
The other three people all focused their attention on him.
She lowered her noble forehead while crying, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Because of me, Mr. Gong was seriously injured and unconscious!"
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Mingchen frowned and interrupted her.
Fu Bangxi also walked over and said, "It has nothing to do with Miss Tan. It's just because the Han Gang in City C has changed its owner!"
Uncle Feng also comforted her, "I believe this has nothing to do with Miss Tan. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. The young master will be fine!"
"How can it have nothing to do with her?" The old man roared angrily with a sullen face, "If it wasn't because she went to City C? Dui Xiu, no matter how big the reason or personal grudge, would never let himself lie here!"
"I'm...I'm sorry..." She covered her lips and sobbed with extreme sadness.
His entire body was numb from squatting for so long and then standing up suddenly.
It was like a strong glue that nailed her there, and she couldn't move her feet no matter what.
"Grandpa Gong, this matter has nothing to do with her. The people from the Han Gang have been plotting against Dui Xiu from the beginning. The girl is the one who was implicated. Please don't put all the blame on her!"
"Don't you think she has any responsibility?" The old man roared. "You've only been with her for a few days, and how many years have you been with Dui Xiu? Now, you're always speaking for her, putting pressure on an old man like me. What's your purpose in beating her? Huh?"
"Grandpa Gong, I don't mean to suppress your words. I just hope you can evaluate this matter objectively!"
"Am I not objective enough? My grandson is lying here because she was shot three times. Am I not objective enough?"
"Grandpa Gong!" Mingchen's face was cold, his brows furrowed tightly as he said, "It's impossible to explain exactly what happened in a few words. You should ask someone to investigate it thoroughly!"
"Mingchen!?" the old man roared angrily, "Is this how you're talking to me now? Do you even consider me, your elder, a real person?"
"Grandpa Gong! I have never—"
"Stop arguing!" the little girl suddenly yelled, her eyes red as she trembled, "It's my fault! It's all my fault! It has nothing to do with anyone else. If Mr. Gong wants to punish me, I, Tan Ruoqing, will do it!"
