Chapter 103 Never Become Anyone's Pawn
Ji Ying drove to the 547 Hospital.
Halfway there, I received a call from Chen Yuan.
“Madam, you forgot to sign one part of yesterday’s agreement.”
"I'll contact you when I'm done with my work," Ji Ying said.
Chen Yuan said, "There's no need for you to make the trip. Just give me an address and I'll come over to make it up to you."
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Ji Ying found a commercial plaza on the navigation app and gave him the address.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Yuan arrived in his car on time.
Ji Ying neatly added her signature.
Chen Yuan carefully checked the documents before saying, "President Gu is worried that if something happens to him, he won't be able to protect you. These documents need to be sent to Singapore immediately to take effect. I apologize for disturbing you, Madam."
"What happened to the Gu family?" Ji Ying asked.
Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment between speaking and remaining silent, then sighed.
"Wen Li's death has provoked Master Gong. He has already helped Young Master Yi acquire 8% of the group's shares and enter the board of directors. Now he is lobbying the board to continue to put pressure on President Gu, and even wants to frame President Gu and send him to prison. The old lady has fallen ill as a result. The situation is dangerous, and President Gu is besieged on all sides."
Ji Ying lowered her eyes. "He's Gu Yanchen. He can handle it."
Chen Yuan lowered his voice, "Madam, you may not know this, but Young Master Yi is ruthless. He didn't hesitate to shoot the old man back then. Now he is working with Master Gong to drive President Gu to the brink of despair. President Gu was afraid that if something happened to him, he wouldn't be able to protect you, so he reluctantly agreed to the divorce. Yesterday, after you signed the divorce agreement, President Gu sat alone in the study all night."
Ji Ying couldn't help but picture him sitting alone under the lamp.
Actually, he has leverage.
The next second, she ruthlessly shattered the slight wavering that had arisen.
"Then I wish him a speedy recovery from this difficult time."
Before she could finish speaking, she had already turned around deftly, and the car door slammed shut.
...
When Ji Ying arrived at the 547 Hospital, Yang Sao was no longer in the ward.
She hid in a shady spot on the lawn, seemingly afraid of being tracked down.
Seeing Ji Ying was like seeing a lifeline.
"Madam, please take me away. I can't stay in the hospital any longer."
"Are you sure they're investigating you?" Ji Ying asked.
Mrs. Yang nodded. "They forced the doctor to access the records of pregnant women from the past six months, and when they refused, they threatened the doctor on the spot. Although the security guards chased them away, given their methods, it's only a matter of time before they get the list."
"If Gu Gong knew it was you who was pregnant..."
Before Ji Ying could finish speaking, Yang Sao suddenly knelt down.
"Madam!" she trembled, "I will never keep this child. If my body hadn't failed the surgery, I would have..."
She clung tightly to Ji Ying's clothes, hating the child Gu Gong was carrying in her womb.
"If you don't help me, I'd rather die with this child!"
Ji Ying quickly helped her up.
"You helped me, I won't abandon you. If you trust me, listen to me and don't do anything foolish."
Because of long-term anemia, Mrs. Yang's body needs to be adjusted to a certain level before she can have surgery.
Considering that she couldn't withstand a long journey, Ji Ying temporarily arranged for her to stay at the Honeyland Hotel.
Although this place is noisy, it is secluded. The room was booked using Xiao Xia's ID card, so even if someone traces it back to her, they won't find anything.
Once Yang's health improved slightly, they took her to Lan City next door for surgery.
Ji Ying replaced all the hotel furniture with new ones and also bought pots and pans so that Yang Sao could cook for herself when she was alone.
"Gu Gong will be looking for you everywhere in three days at most. But the good thing is that you need to stay in bed and don't need to go out."
As Ji Ying spoke, she handed a new cell phone to Aunt Yang.
"Don't contact your relatives and friends for now. I will send you the medicine and other things. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
Mrs. Yang was so moved that she didn't know what to say, she just kept thanking her.
Ji Ying felt indebted to Yang Sao.
If it weren't to infuriate Wen Li, she wouldn't have used Yang Sao's pregnancy to provoke her and let Gu Gong find out.
Doing these things now is actually to make amends.
After settling her in, Ji Ying returned to the hospital and packed her clothes and daily medications.
She had just stuffed her things into the back seat when Chen Yuan's voice suddenly came from behind her, "Is Madam feeling unwell?"
I really had a "fate" with Chen Yuan today, bumping into him twice in one day.
"No, I've come to ask about something."
She slammed the car door shut, unsure if he had caught a glimpse of the travel bag in the back seat.
"Is Assistant Chen here for a medical checkup?" she asked in return, her tone as usual.
Chen Yuan smiled. "Here to pick up medicine. Mr. Gu's headache has flared up, and this hospital is the only place that has the special medicine."
Ji Ying suddenly remembered that Gu Yanchen suffered from neurogenic headaches.
But over the past four years, thanks to her tireless treatment, his headaches have almost never recurred.
It seems he's really having a tough time lately.
"Then you go ahead with your work." Ji Ying turned and walked to the driver's seat.
"Madam," Chen Yuan called out to her, "Did you know that Aunt Yang has taken a long leave of absence?"
Ji Ying paused slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips. "I don't know. He and I are getting a divorce soon, so you don't need to tell me about Platinum Bay anymore."
After saying that, she got into the car, lightly stepped on the gas, and drove away.
In the rearview mirror, Chen Yuan stood in place, lost in thought.
Ji Ying gripped the steering wheel tightly, then slowly released it.
I was almost moved by Chen Yuan's words.
Sister Yang must never become anyone's bargaining chip!
...
Just one day later, inside the antique shop.
Gu Gong glared coldly at his assistant who had returned to report: "What do you mean, 'We just found the person and then couldn't find them anymore'?"
The assistant bowed and explained, "Ms. Yang sneaked out of the hospital. The doctor said she was at risk of miscarriage and needed to rest in bed. She probably heard rumors and went into hiding. We've confirmed she didn't return to Platinum Bay, and Gu Yanchen probably doesn't know yet."
"Unaware?" Gu Gong smashed the teapot beside him. "With your efficiency, are you waiting for him to use Yang Liu and her son to blackmail me?"
"Don't worry, Master Gong, we will expand the search area immediately."
“What’s the point of searching? We should focus on monitoring hospitals and clinics. As soon as she seeks medical treatment or gets medication, we’ll know immediately.”
"Yes, Master Gong."
"Even Gu Yi can't do this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Lingxue pushed open the door and entered, and Gu Gong immediately fell silent.
"Uncle, I didn't bother you, did I?" Wen Lingxue asked.
Gu Gong looked at his assistant and said, "Go and do it."
The assistant nodded and left.
"I'll go to your mother's mourning hall to keep watch in a little while," Gu Gong said in a gentler tone.
Wen Lingxue, dressed in white, said in a cool voice, "If you don't have time, you don't have to go. The person is already gone. Those who are alive should think about themselves. When does Uncle Gu plan to remarry?"
Gu Gong quickly said, "No, that's not true. Lingxue, I promised your mother I would take care of you, I..."
"The funeral is at six tomorrow morning." Wen Lingxue interrupted him, her gaze sweeping over his messy desk. "Once Mother is laid to rest, my brother should send me abroad."
Gu Gong immediately raised his voice, "I will never let Gu Yanchen send you away, as your mother entrusted to me on her deathbed."
Wen Lingxue didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
If she said another word to him, she would feel like vomiting.
...
Ji Ying originally thought that Yang Sao would be fine since she was resting in bed.
Then, that night, I suddenly received a call from Mrs. Yang.
She started bleeding.
Even though it's only one or two drops, it can be very dangerous for someone with low platelet count.
After thinking it over, Ji Ying called Liang Yanchuan again.
After she explained the situation, Liang Yanchuan got out of bed, put on his clothes, and went out.
As soon as we entered the courtyard, the Hongqi L5 slowly drove through the gate.
The car stopped in front of him.
The rear window opened, revealing the man's composed and handsome face.
"Where are you rushing off to?" Liang Yizhi asked.
