Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Chapter 28
Gu Ting and Li Ruoling, father and daughter, waved goodbye and took away only a package of secret braised pork. Seeing that she enjoyed the meal, Li Jingyao asked the restaurant owner to cook another portion for her to take home and eat tomorrow.
In the extreme struggle between the tantalizing 15 million and a property, Gu Ting barely won.
He single-handedly saved the daughter of a billionaire, refused 15 million plus a house, and only asked for a secret braised pork.
Coming out of the restaurant, Gu Ting felt a bit dazed. Was this still him? When did he become so virtuous and treat money like dirt?
Gu Ting became more sober as the cool night breeze blew. It seemed that the live broadcast room would not be unblocked for a long time, and there was no news about endorsements and programs. Since there was still nothing to do tomorrow, she might as well go to the hospital on the way.
The hospital was much quieter at night than during the day. Gu Ting walked to the floor where Yan Xiu was located, and as the elevator door opened, waves of anxious or terrified screams filled the air. Immediately following, a group of patients and nurses fled in panic, shouting:
"There's a madman pouring gasoline on someone and trying to set them on fire. Run!"
"Call 119!"
"Where's the security? Come quickly!"
There was a period of chaos and disorder.
When Gu Ting saw that they were pointing in the direction of Yan Xiu's ward, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart and hurriedly ran over. On the way, a nurse grabbed her but she broke free without hesitation. At this moment, her only thought was to confirm whether Yan Xiu was safe.
He ran to the door of the ward in two steps. The first person he saw was not Yan Xiu, but a group of strong men surrounding the room. They were all tall and strong, with muscular bodies and bright eyes, as if they could kick a wolf to death, but at this time they could only stand there.
Gu Ting swayed left and right, up and down among a group of men about 1.9 meters tall, and finally found a gap and glimpsed a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg in the room. When she saw clearly, she was shocked - Qian Miao's son Qian Lin held a dagger against Yan Xiu's neck. Blood was oozing out from the place where it was touched, and splashed down Yan Xiu's cold white neck, like dots of blooming red plums.
What frightened Gu Ting even more was that Yan Xiu and Qian Lin's clothes were all wet, the smell of gasoline filled the entire room, and Qian Lin was holding a lighter in his other hand, as if he was ready to perish together with Yan Xiu.
Gu Ting was both worried and angry. With ten strong bodyguards, Qian Lin was still able to sneak in. What a bunch of useless trash!
"Tell your bodyguard to leave the room, or I will set it on fire!" The teenager had a very bad temper.
Compared to the dozen or so bodyguards with solemn expressions, Yan Xiu, who had a knife pressed against his vein, remained calm and composed. He waved his hand casually and said, "All of you retreat outside."
The dozen or so strong men had to step back. As a result, Gu Ting immediately showed up outside the door. Yan Xiu made eye contact with her, was stunned for a moment, and then looked away, as if she was just an unrelated stranger.
But Gu Ting still understood the deep meaning from his passing glance: leave quickly.
Gu Ting pretended not to understand and simply stood behind Du Kaifeng, using him as a shield, as if he was waiting to see what would happen and ready to run away if things went wrong.
Du Kaifeng didn't know what Yan Xiu was thinking. Du Kaifeng was really speechless. How could this Miss Gu be so bold and a little timid, and at the same time have a hint of vulgarity?
However, the situation did not allow others to have any wild thoughts, as the situation in the ward was already very critical.
After everyone else left, Yan Xiu didn't speak again. Qian Lin, however, became even more furious, cursing fiercely, "Yan Xiu, don't you have anything to say?! You killed my dad, don't you even feel a trace of guilt?"
Yan Xiu, who had been looking down slightly, raised his eyes and said in a clear voice, "If I wanted him dead, the evidence in my hands could have killed him several times. There's no need to go through all the trouble of sending him to prison and then letting him die. It's a superfluous act."
Qian Lin choked: "What do you mean? Didn't you send my dad to prison and that's why he got into trouble? You're still trying to make excuses!"
Yan Xiu shrugged nonchalantly. "If you insist on dying with me, I can't help it. But before I die, I have only one thing to remind you: it's such a pity to risk your own life without being able to find the real murderer behind the scenes."
Qian Lin fell into a brief confusion, shook his head and said firmly again: "No, you are the murderer, my father was killed by you, I will not be fooled by you!" As he said, he pressed the blade, and blood gushed out of Gu Ting's snow-white neck, and the blue and white hospital gown was instantly stained red.
Yan Xiu didn't even blink, as if he couldn't feel the pain, and remained calm and composed: "I'm the murderer? Then where did the huge amount of money in your father's other woman's account come from? And how did she get away now? Uncle Qian and I have a harmonious relationship since we were young, as close as uncle and nephew. Why did he suddenly want to deal with me? I can obviously use legal weapons to deal with your father, so why did I have to dirty my hands? Your mother should have told you not to mess with the Yan family again, so why are you here again? I have more than ten bodyguards, but you can climb up through the window with gasoline and approach me as if there is no one around. What's wrong? Do you really think you are Spider-Man?"
Qian Lin was speechless and confused: "W-what do you mean?"
Yan Xiu suddenly smiled, and that smile was extremely cold. "What do you mean? It means that you are just pawns in the hands of others, used specifically to deal with a disobedient young general like me. You and I killing each other is exactly what others are most looking forward to seeing."
Seeing Qian Lin's attitude soften slightly, Yan Xiu slowed down his tone, "Linlin, your sister and I were classmates. You should know that I'm not a heartless and ruthless person. Uncle Qian... I'm very sorry about his death, but it really has nothing to do with me."
Qian Lin had his head lowered at first, but as if touched by something, he suddenly became excited. "You're not heartless, if you're not heartless, why did you reject my sister back then, causing her to almost slit her wrists and become a ghost now? Yan, no matter how much you say, it's useless. Today is your death! Right now, I command you to kneel down immediately and kowtow to my father's spirit in heaven to apologize! Otherwise, I will let everyone here be buried with him!"
Yan Xiu frowned and was about to speak when Gu Ting's hysterical voice suddenly came from behind the crowd: "No! You can't kill Yan Xiu!"
More than a dozen pairs of eyes suddenly focused on Gu Ting. Among the dozen or so big men, there was a young woman with a beautiful face. Her hair was a little messy, and her slightly red eyes were dotted with tears, as if cherry blossoms were soaked in water. Her petal-like lips had red marks from biting, and her whole person exuded a sense of powerlessness and brokenness.
No matter how violent and ferocious Qian Lin was, he couldn't help but be distracted when he saw Gu Ting.
"You can't kill Yan Xiu." Gu Ting touched her slightly bulging belly with one hand. Two perfectly shaped tears fell like pearls one after another. She sniffed and said, "My baby hasn't had the chance to see his father yet. Please don't be so cruel, please..."
Yanxiu: "OO!"
Du Kaifeng understood everything: No wonder, no wonder the kidnappers kidnapped Miss Gu for no reason, and Miss Gu took the trouble to deliver meals to her every day. It turned out that the two of them had an affair... and had been in contact for a long time.
As if the effect wasn't sensational enough, Gu Ting continued to say to Yan Xiu with tears in her eyes, "Didn't you say that once we escaped, we would immediately confess our feelings to our family? Didn't you say you would give me 1 million so I could rest assured and take care of the baby? Didn't you say you would definitely marry me?"
Yan Xiu's expression changed from being handsome and expressionless to slightly cracked, and finally his expression was filled with a hint of pain: "If I am not dead, I will definitely fulfill my promise. But..." He smiled miserably.
Qian Lin was stunned by this, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "It's a pity that he will never see his father again. With me..."
It happened so quickly that in the blink of an eye, Qian Lin's eyes suddenly blurred. Before he could see what it was, his right wrist holding the knife suddenly felt a sharp pain. In an instant, he could not even hold the knife and it slipped from his hand.
Gu Ting: Don't ask. If you ask, I've been a killer. I'm very good at wielding hidden weapons. I can even kill people with a silver hairpin. Believe it or not, it's up to you.
Yan Xiu reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively bending his elbow and striking back, causing Qian Lin's body to bend and he was about to fall backwards. However, he subconsciously grabbed around and grabbed Yan Xiu's hospital gown, barely able to steady himself.
Qian Lin, who had lost his weapon, was no longer a threat to Yan Xiu. He was about to struggle free, but when he saw that he was about to escape, the bodyguards outside rushed in. At this moment, Qian Lin's brows darkened, and he suddenly jumped out like a dormant poisonous snake, indescribably cold and vicious - his other hand pressed the lighter without hesitation.
Gu Ting and the ten bodyguards subconsciously hugged their heads and closed their eyes, but one second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed... the expected burning sensation still did not occur.
Gu Ting quietly opened his eyes a little, and saw Yan Xiu's chest heaving. Behind Yan Xiu, Qian Lin's veins were bulging as he frantically pressed the lighter. However, no matter how many times he pressed it, the lighter would not light up, as if it was dead.
Everyone: "..." What kind of bad luck is this? God is punishing you!
There was no need for Yan Xiu to say anything. All the bodyguards rushed forward and subdued Qian Lin with just three punches and two kicks. Qian Lin's face was dejected, and as he was dragged out, he almost screamed to the sky: "Why is it not burning! Why is it not burning! I should have brought two lighters, Aaaaaaaah!!!"
Gu Ting rubbed the back of his head and watched Qian Lin being taken away. He wondered if the failure of the lighter had anything to do with his own God of Wealth buff. After all, she had just said that Yan Xiu would give her 1 million.
Qian Lin was subdued, and medical staff soon arrived to stop the bleeding and bandage Yan Xiu. Gu Ting hadn't expected Yan Xiu, who was about to be discharged, to sustain new injuries the night before. While the battle-worn makeup and the beautiful, strong, and tragic character were captivating, she couldn't help but gasp when she saw the blood on Yan Xiu's chest.
The injured Yan Xiu didn't seem to care. He pursed his lips slightly, and stared at her with his distinct black and white eyes, as if he wanted to see into her heart: "Why did you come anyway?"
Gu Ting shrugged: "After dinner tonight, I stopped by to take a look. Who knew I would come across this?"
Yan Xiu said word by word: "It was really dangerous just now. Next time..."
Gu Ting rolled her eyes at him. "What about next time? How many lives do you have? I see that you, a son of a wealthy family, are not doing well. There are people trying to harm you every day. You are worse off than an ordinary person like me. Didn't you say... forget it that time?"
At this time, Du Kaifeng walked in and faced Gu Ting with admiration: "Miss Gu, your dart skills are amazing!"
Turning to face Yan Xiu, he said solemnly, "Mr. Yan, we will thoroughly investigate Qian Lin's matter. If anyone betrays us, we will show no mercy!"
Gu Ting: You know how to work. You change your expression faster than turning the pages of a book.
Du Kaifeng said seriously, "I just don't know whether I should tell the chairman about Miss Gu's pregnancy?"
Gu Ting: "Cough cough cough..."
