Chapter 155 Seal
Han watched Secretary Xie leave, closed the door, turned around and looked at Gu Ningwei. In an instant, his eyes turned red again.
Gu Ningwei stared at her for a while, raised his chin, and motioned Han Que to come and sit beside his bed. Looking at her red eyes, he comforted her, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Han looked guilty, lowered his head to look at the snow-white bed sheet, and whispered: "I should have taken her with me at that time, so that she wouldn't..."
She sighed.
"If that were the case, the He family wouldn't have revealed their true identities so quickly, and they wouldn't have been caught so easily." Gu Ningwei said coldly.
Han was stunned for a moment and looked up at Gu Ningwei.
Gu Ningwei turned his head and looked out the window for a while, his expression slightly moved. After a while, he said softly: "I know you will feel guilty, so I know Jiang Jin has left, but I still have to go. I will fight to the death to rescue her."
He said, looking at her again, his eyes gentle, and holding her hand tightly with the hand that was not hanging the IV, stroking the back of her hand, and continued: "The He family has always focused on Gu Ningli, not you."
"It was Gu Ningli?" Han frowned. "Are you saying that it wasn't an accident that they took Gu Ningli away?"
"Yeah." Gu Ningwei nodded. "With He Yongqiang's stupid brain, he would definitely do that."
Gu Ningwei looked up at her and said with a half-smile, "I told you not to be angry. In the eyes of the He family, Ali is much more valuable than you. By capturing Ali, they can, on the one hand, force Jiang Jin to show up and get the data, and on the other hand, use her as a hostage to force Gu Zhiguang to submit. Even if you took her away that day, they would still have caught her, and maybe even you as well. They came here just for Gu Ningli."
He paused, looking at Han Que with a serious expression: "If that's the case, I'll be constrained, attacked from both sides, and won't be able to take care of everything."
Han remained silent.
He looked at Han Que: "Do you understand?"
Han listened and thought about it, felt that what he said made sense, and nodded slightly.
"I know you're soft-hearted, but sometimes sacrifices are necessary to accomplish something."
Gu Ningwei paused, then continued, "Ali lost her mother when she was young. Gu Zhiguang only knew how to spoil her to the skies, giving her whatever she wanted. She didn't know her place. When she was dating Jiang Jin, she also bullied him and became arrogant because of her favor. After this incident, she realized the cruelty of some things. I'm actually more worried that she'll become the next He Lian."
He sighed, "She will face a lot of pressure in the future. We can only help her partially. She still has to rely on herself."
Han remained silent, feeling pity in his heart.
After such a thrilling kidnapping case, Chengguang's problem and solution have almost been settled. Everyone can fully predict what will happen next, and some people will inevitably be punished.
Gu Ningli will have to watch Gu Zhiguang being punished, and she wonders what will happen to her.
It's not just her. Chengguang, the He family, and their stocks will all experience a big shock.
When the He family chose to kidnap Gu Ningli, they had already lost everything.
The doctor came in for rounds and wrote out a bunch of checkups for Gu Ningwei, while also telling Han Que the precautions for each checkup.
That thick stack of checklists almost checked every part of Gu Ningwei's body.
After the doctor left, the ward was quiet.
Gu Ningwei talked for a long time and was very tired. He closed his eyes and felt drowsy.
Han was sitting alone next to him on the sofa, holding a tablet, looking at documents, reviewing OAs, and handling various tasks on Zhening's side.
When it was almost evening, Fang Jiayan had time to visit the ward, but Han glanced at Gu Ningwei who was sleeping soundly, got up and left the ward, closing the door.
The two of them sat on the bench in front of the ward door, talking quietly.
"Is Gu Ningwei okay?" Fang Jiayan asked. "I was scared to death when I received your call that day. How could he suddenly be admitted to the ICU..." Han shook his head. He felt that he could not explain the complicated situation clearly in a short time. He could only cut off the beginning and the end and tell the story briefly.
Even though it was said simply, Fang Jiayan listened with her eyes widened in surprise. At the end, she shook her head and sighed, "The world of the rich is so complicated. They're really not as good as us ordinary people. We may be a little poor, but at least we don't have to waste so many brain cells."
Han also sighed, leaned against the wall, hugged his knees with his hands, and said nothing.
Fang Jiayan looked at her and said, "Han Que, don't take it too seriously. It's obvious that Gu Ningwei is always thinking about you and putting your safety first. He is protecting you and your child. A man like that is someone you can rely on."
Han was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, I never thought I'd go this far with him. At first, I just thought we could have a short-term relationship and he could support me financially, but I never thought we'd end up this far, and now..."
"So what? You have a child together and are connected by blood. It's impossible for you to separate whenever you want like before. You have been a whole for a long time." Fang Jiayan comforted.
The light signs in the corridor were flashing, indicating that the patients in the ward were calling.
Han Qu looked up and saw that it was Gu Ningwei's bed number. She panicked and quickly got up.
Fang Jiayan also said, "You should go in quickly. I'm going back to the department first. I have to go on duty. Tell Gu Ningwei that I will come to visit him when he feels better."
Then he patted Han Que's shoulder and said, "You two are very close to each other, so cherish it."
Han nodded, not bothering to talk to her, pushed the door open and entered the ward, rushed to the bedside, looked down at him, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Ningwei shook his head and smiled, "When I woke up and saw you weren't beside me, I got worried and planned to ask the nurse to find you."
Han Que: "..."
She sighed and told him softly, "Jia Yan came to see you and talked to me at the door for a while."
Gu Ningwei nodded.
At this time, the nurse hurried in with a large bag of medicine. After confirming the patient's name, she scanned his wristband and changed the medicine.
Gu Ningwei quietly took Han Que's hand, gently rubbed her palm with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Look, I'm not a useless person. I know how to find someone to call you."
After Gu Ningwei did a lot of tests, he confirmed the date for surgery.
After resting for a few days, his physical strength gradually recovered and he could lie half in bed, holding a tablet computer, reading documents and answering phone calls.
However, Han was afraid that he would get tired, so he only let him work two hours a day.
Director Pan brought the documents that needed to be signed to the hospital every other day, and asked the two of them to review and sign them, while reporting on all the progress of the work.
The night before the operation, Director Pan came over with a thick stack of documents and asked Han Que and Gu Ningwei to sign.
Han was looking at the gambling agreement between the state-owned assets and Zhening Company, as well as the framework agreement on the state-owned assets platform's preparation to inject capital into Chengguang.
Han did not read the contract regarding Chengguang, but instead carefully read the clauses regarding Zhening Company. He felt that although the requirements put forward by the other party were strict, they were not harsh and were the kind of goals that could be reached with a little effort.
With their current cooperation model with Chunyi Company, it is not very difficult to achieve these goals.
Seeing her sigh of relief and a relaxed expression, Gu Ningwei knew she had gained confidence and deliberately teased her softly, "Boss Han, if we can't meet the target, we'll have to sell Zhening. Watch carefully."
Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be afraid. With our current strength, achieving these goals is not difficult."
Gu Ningwei smiled and nodded, then asked Director Pan, "What did Lawyer Wen say?"
Director Pan said: "Director Wen has approved all the contracts, there is no problem. It's just..." She hesitated.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. There are no outsiders here anyway." Gu Ningwei leaned on the pillow and relaxed.
"Regarding Chengguang's matter, Lawyer Wen is negotiating with the two Mr. Gu on your behalf. Your father doesn't agree with making Mr. Gu Zhiguang's affairs public, and he still wants to protect him..."
Gu Ningwei frowned: "At this point, you still want to protect him?"
Director Pan looked at him and nodded.
Gu Ningwei was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and muttered to himself, "How can he guarantee this..." He then smoothed over his expression and calmly said to Director Pan, "Don't worry about this. Arrange matters with Zhening and Chunyi first. I'll take care of Chengguang's matter."
Director Pan nodded, put the documents signed by Gu Ningwei and Han Que back into his bag, stood up and prepared to leave.
Han Que escorted her out of the ward. Director Pan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and hugged Han Que tightly, saying in a choked voice, "Xiao Han, it's a blessing to have you here."
Han was startled and quickly took her hand, saying, "Director Pan, what's wrong with you?"
Director Pan sniffed, wiped away his tears, and calmed down before saying, "Oh, this time it's really dangerous. I've been thinking these days, if anything happens to him, how am I going to explain to Aunt Su Xiu? My heart has been hanging in my throat..."
Han knew that Director Pan was Su Xiu's friend, and was touched by her affection for Gu Ningwei. She hugged Director Pan and said, "It's all right. Awei's health is improving, and everything will be fine. After this is over, everything will be fine."
Han returned to the ward. Gu Ningwei was leaning against the bed with her eyes closed, resting. Hearing the noise, he raised his eyes and saw her stunned expression. He asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Han walked to the head of his bed, sat beside him, and whispered, "Director Pan mentioned your mother just now..."
Gu Ningwei raised his hand and brushed her hair. "Well, she was also a friend of my mother's when she was alive. She was like an older sister to me..."
"I know." After a while, Han whispered. Then he asked him, "Are you worried about the surgery tomorrow morning?"
Gu Ningwei shook his head and smiled. "It's just a minor operation, there's nothing to worry about. I'm sorry to trouble you..." He sighed and gently stroked her forehead. "I see you've been so busy these days that you haven't been able to sleep well. You even have to get up in the middle of the night to see me. You've lost weight from all the work. You're pregnant, so I should be taking care of you..."
"It's okay, baby is very sensible and won't bother me." Han grabbed his hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, rubbing his cheek gently against the palm of his hand.
"Well, our baby is really strong. Look, you've fallen twice, and nothing happened to you at all. What a tenacious vitality you have..." Gu Ningwei sighed, and then tightly grasped Han Que's hand: "So we all have to be fine."
"Well, get well soon." Han leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
The two of them pressed their lips together, rubbing and sucking each other's lips, tenderly and passionately.
The door of the ward was gently pushed open. Gu Ningwei raised his eyes, looked at the door, and let go of Han Que.
Han's heart was beating faster and she was in a state of confusion because of his kiss. Suddenly, she heard a cough behind her. She turned around and her face turned red with shame.
Secretary Xie: “…”
Gu Zhicheng: “…”
Han Que: "..."
Gu Zhicheng stood at the door, waited for a while, coughed a few times, and then said, "Hey, sorry to bother you."
Han quickly got up and frantically found two chairs for Gu Zhicheng and Secretary Xie to sit on.
"Hey, take care of yourself..." Gu Zhicheng quickly said, then paused, feeling that something was wrong, and had to change the subject awkwardly, "...Let Secretary Xie take care of it, you take a rest."
Secretary Xie brought a chair over for Gu Ning Zhicheng to sit down, and he stood aside. Han went to get another chair and asked him to sit down. Secretary Xie waved his hand and nodded at Gu Zhicheng's back.
None of the four spoke, and the room was silent for a moment.
Gu Ningwei waited for a while and introduced the two people: "This is Han Que. This is my dad."
Han stepped forward and called out softly, "Hello, uncle."
Gu Zhicheng nodded at her, looked her over carefully with his sharp eyes without leaving any trace, and nodded secretly.
She is a little too beautiful, but not coquettish. She is the kind of beauty that makes people feel comfortable, not the legendary seductive vixen.
He gradually felt relieved.
"I heard that you have been taking care of Awei these days. Thank you for your hard work." Gu Zhicheng relaxed his expression and spoke in a gentle tone.
Han secretly took a deep breath and said, "...I should do this."
Gu Zhicheng pondered for a moment and then said, "I heard that you are in charge of Zhening Company, and you are doing a good job, and the performance is also good..."
Han smiled, not knowing how to respond, so he looked at Gu Ningwei for help.
Gu Ningwei's face didn't show much expression as he changed the subject: "Dad, what brings you here?"
Gu Zhicheng frowned. He was a little unhappy when he was interrupted by him just when he wanted to show some warmth.
He was silent for a while, then frowned and said stiffly, "I have something to say. It's because I need to put an end to all the trouble you caused, so I came here to discuss it with you."
When Han Que heard this, he immediately stood up and said to Gu Zhicheng: "Uncle, please sit for a while, I will go to the doctor's office."
Having said that, he opened the door and quickly slipped away.
