Chapter 124 Returning Home, That Woman Looks A lot Like You
The black man clearly understood Fu Honghai's words, his face showing great pain. He probably regretted accepting the mission! It's unexpected that Fu Honghai, despite his age, still has such a fiery temper!
"Get the hell out of here right now!"
Fu Honghai didn't give the black man a chance to speak. He stepped forward and kicked him in the waist, knocking him to the ground. As the black man tried to get up and leave, Fu Honghai frowned and immediately roared again.
"I told you to get out, not to walk out!"
The black man, who was just about to stand up, was clearly frightened by Fu Honghai's roar. He stumbled and fell to the ground again before he could even get his footing. When he met Fu Honghai's angry eyes, the black man felt his whole body begin to tremble involuntarily.
This old man is too sharp! Despite his advanced age, he not only has a fiery temper, but his marksmanship is also incredibly accurate. He... he's truly had the worst luck imaginable! Not only did he fail to complete his mission, but he also ruined his hand! For an assassin, losing a hand is worse than losing his life; he can almost imagine how miserable his future will be!
Intimidated by Fu Honghai's imposing manner, the black man forgot to resist and obediently rolled out of the ward as he was told, until he was out of Fu Honghai's sight. Only then did he get up in a disheveled state, clutching his bleeding right wrist, and hurriedly run out of the hospital.
What he didn't see was a woman slowly emerging from a corner of the hospital's fire escape that he couldn't see. She was wearing a black dress with a long black cardigan over it, black sunglasses, and a large white hat. Her gaze followed the route the black man had taken. He couldn't see her eyes through the sunglasses, but her exposed face was icy cold. Her tightly pursed lips exuded a chilling aura, and her hands were in the pockets of her cardigan. She radiated a dangerous aura.
Only after the black man stumbled out of the hospital did the mysterious woman turn around and disappear into the fire escape. In the instant she turned, her eyes, visible through her sunglasses, were filled with boundless hatred.
In the ward, Fu Ya loosened his hand from his groin, let out a long sigh of relief, jumped over to Fu Honghai's side, patted him on the shoulder, and showed a relieved smile.
"Third Uncle, I never knew you were such a good shot!"
"Of course, I've practiced for decades, if I still can't get it right, wouldn't all my practice have been for nothing?"
Fu Honghai's words were laced with pride, his eyes brimming with smugness. He had always been confident in his marksmanship. The moment the black man entered, Fu Honghai noticed something was off about him and had already prepared a gun in his pocket. To try and assassinate the Fu family right under his nose? Pah! They were incredibly audacious!
"Third Uncle, why don't we get discharged from the hospital soon? It's too unsafe to stay here!"
Fu Heng frowned, though an elegant smile still lingered on his lips, his words carried an undeniable authority. Gu Mingxia's body certainly hadn't fully recovered yet. If she continued to stay here, she would have to worry about Xiao Yan while also being burdened by her third uncle taking care of her, which must have been quite difficult for her. It would be better for her to be discharged sooner, which would be both safer and would reduce Gu Mingxia's worries.
"Is your arm okay now that you're discharged from the hospital?"
Although both he and Lao Wu had private doctors in their villas, there were times when the equipment couldn't keep up. Fu Heng was the most satisfactory heir to the Fu family, and naturally, he didn't want anything to happen to him. However, staying here until he was discharged from the hospital wasn't safe enough. This was also Fu Honghai's concern.
If anything were to happen to Fu Heng in South Africa, the boss would probably want to skin him and the fifth brother alive. Thinking of the boss's ruthless methods in his youth, even the burly Fu Honghai felt a chill. He naturally agreed with Fu Heng's suggestion to be discharged, but he still needed to be involved. If the early discharge caused any damage to Fu Heng's arm, the boss wouldn't forgive him either!
"It's alright. After all, it's surgery, so it will still hurt, but it's not to the point of being life-threatening."
Fu Heng raised his arm that had been hanging in front of his chest. Gu Mingxia stood in front of Xiao Yan's hospital bed, looking at Fu Heng gratefully. She could more or less guess that he wanted to be discharged. Fu Heng was still thinking of her in every way. Gu Mingxia was secretly moved. If she had the chance, she would definitely repay Fu Heng for this favor.
"Alright, if you can hold on, I'll arrange for the three of you to go directly to the Fu family's heliport and fly back to Xiangcheng overnight. I and Lao Wu will handle things here!"
Fu Honghai frowned. Even with his and Lao Wu's protection in South Africa, there were bound to be times of oversight. Cai Feng's power had indeed begun to take shape. If he was determined to oppose the Fu family, it wouldn't be safe for Fu Heng and the others to remain in South Africa. It would be better to send them directly back to Xiangcheng. The legal system there was much stricter than here, and besides, the Fu family had been rooted in Xiangcheng for generations. After all, it was their own territory, much safer than South Africa!
"That's for the best. Should we tell Uncle Wu?"
"No need! The fewer people who know, the safer it is!" Fu Honghai said, taking out his phone to make a call. He gave a few simple instructions on the phone, and after hanging up, he turned to look at Gu Mingxia. His already ferocious face looked even more frightening because of his seriousness.
“Gu girl, I don’t know who you’ve offended, but the woman next to Cai Feng seems determined to kill you. I also saw a firebird tattoo on her neck, a unique tattoo of an organization. This organization is incredibly mysterious; I’ve been investigating for twenty years and haven’t found a single clue. You’ve offended this mysterious organization; you’re definitely going to be in big trouble!”
Fu Honghai spoke with a straight face, and Gu Mingxia frowned as she listened. Anyone who wanted to set up an organization would need a lot of money, but the woman next to Cai Feng looked very young and didn't seem to have a lot of money.
For some reason, the face she had vaguely seen appeared in Gu Mingxia's mind. Could it be her? But if it really was her, then what was her relationship with her mother?
Gu Mingxia had a question in her mind, but she dared not think about it, afraid that she would collapse after confirming the question. So... she lowered her head and bit her lip. After a long time, she looked up at Fu Honghai and smiled faintly. However, the doubt in her eyes betrayed that her current mood was not as relaxed as her smile.
"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Fu. I will be careful."
Perhaps... that similar face was just a hallucination that appeared in her dazed state? How could two people in this world look so alike? Unless they were twins, but she had never had an aunt, and how could her mother have a twin sister?
"Since you're unwilling to talk about it, I won't force you. But some things can't be solved by running away!"
Fu Honghai's words seemed to have a deeper meaning. Gu Mingxia did not respond, but just smiled faintly and began to pack Xiao Yan's things. In fact, she agreed with Fu Heng's suggestion. Returning to Xiangcheng was indeed much safer than staying in South Africa!
About half an hour later, someone brought up two wheelchairs. Fu Honghai directed the people to help Fu Heng and Xiao Yan into the wheelchairs. Gu Mingxia, because she was worried, personally pushed the wheelchair in which Xiao Yan was sitting, while Fu Ya pushed the wheelchair in which Fu Heng was sitting. Fu Honghai then had the two of them change into Xiao Yan and Fu Heng's hospital gowns and lie down on the bed before leading the group downstairs.
After exiting the elevator, they went straight to the car. Fu Honghai then had the car driven to the Fu family's helipad. Soon, the group boarded the helicopter bound for Xiangcheng.
Only when they were airborne did Fu Ya truly feel relieved. He breathed a long sigh of relief and patted his chest. Daddy really was his father! Of the four brothers, why did he have to come to South Africa with his third brother? Did he think he wasn't as good-looking as the other three? In this age of judging by appearances, does even a father need to have an eye for his own son?
He was conflicted, but when he saw Fu Heng's face change slightly due to the pain, all his worries vanished. His third brother was very important too!
"Third Brother, are you alright? Does your wound hurt a lot?"
"It's okay, it's normal to feel pain after surgery, just bear with it!"
Fu Heng reached out and ruffled Fu Ya's hair, his smile still elegant and proper. Gu Mingxia sat next to Xiao Yan, watching Fu Heng's forced smile, biting her lip, and after a long silence, finally spoke.
"Fu Heng, thank you for saving me. I... I will definitely repay this favor!"
"Don't you have anything else to say to me besides this?" Fu Heng sighed inwardly, but his face showed no sign of it. When he turned to look at Gu Mingxia, a smile still lingered on his lips.
"There's no need for thanks! Even if it had been someone else that day, I would have still saved them! It's something a gentleman should do!"
Indeed, Fu Heng was very well-mannered; he would have saved anyone else in his shoes. However, Gu Mingxia's repeated thanks made him feel that there was a great distance between them.
Noticing the awkwardness between the two, Fu Ya clapped his hands, chuckled, and then spoke in a seemingly relaxed manner.
"Third Brother, can you guess who the woman next to Feng is? I look at her and feel like I've seen her somewhere before, but I just can't remember."
Fu Heng frowned upon hearing Fu Ya's words, recalling A Xin's appearance in his mind. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly turned to look at Gu Mingxia sitting behind him, staring intently at her face for a long, long time, until Gu Mingxia asked in confusion.
"Why are you staring at me? This is the first time I've seen her too, I don't know her before!"
"Third Brother, I've got it! No wonder that face looked so familiar, like..."
"Mingxia, didn't you notice? The woman next to Caifeng looks a lot like you. It's just that her makeup is so heavy that we can't tell at first glance!"
