Chapter 56(1/2)
The sky gradually darkened, and the corridor of the private hospital was quiet. Gu Yuan stood in front of the window at the end of the corridor, looking at the sky gradually twilight in the distance, and his cold face reflected on the glass window.
The confidant came up from the stairs and walked behind him gently: "Big Young Master, his subordinates have brought Mrs. Chi and the Second Young Master back, look..."
Gu Yuan didn't say anything.
A fine and dense cold sweat oozed out from the cronies' creditor's credit. Although he knew that the second young master had nothing to do with him, he was not the one who followed him when Vice President Fang was kidnapped, so there was nothing to be afraid of; but the young master Gu was angry and not venting this incident itself, which gave him a very terrifying and suffocating feeling.
"... Keep it closed first," the corridor was silent for a long time before Gu Yuan said lightly: "See Fang Jin's situation before dealing with it."
The confidant knew that this was the injury of Deputy General Fang, so he had to do it on the culprit as it was, so he nodded and replied yes.
At this moment, the door of the examination room opened, and the dean in a white robe walked quickly. Gu Yuan immediately turned around and came forward. He saw that the other party was not solemn. First of all, he felt a little relieved. Sure enough, the dean said: "Fortunately, there is no water in his lungs, no fractures or internal organs were injured. But he still needs another examination..."
Gu Yuan and him were old acquaintances, and immediately interrupted when he heard this: "But what happened to me when I saw a lot of blood just now?"
"It may not be the patient's blood!" The dean was obviously familiar with this kind of thing and smiled and said, "——So I need to have another examination. I have asked someone to have a blood routine, and the patient is in good spirits. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Gu Yuan's inner anxiety had long been unable to suppress his feelings. He hurriedly thanked him, signaling his subordinates to wait outside, and then plunged into the examination room.
Fang Jin was half lying on the hospital bed, with water hanging on his arm, staring at the air. Seeing Gu Yuan coming in, he turned his head, his eyes were a little dissipated, and there was no joy at all.
The blood on his face had stopped and a thick layer of medicine was applied. He had not had a haircut for too long. Perhaps because the wound was too close to the side of his face, the doctor pinned one side of his temple to the tip of his ears, and the complete lines of his face were particularly cold and silent in the light and shadow.
Gu Yuan's originally impatient mood seemed to have been suddenly taken away, and subconsciously stopped and looked at him quietly.
After a while, he walked slowly, reached out to rub Fang Jin's slightly messy hair, and kissed him on his forehead, which was slightly sweaty.
"It's okay, don't be afraid..."
Fang Jin began to struggle, but Gu Yuan held him in his arms and fixed it. The force was very gentle and unstoppable: "It's okay, you are still very beautiful, what are you afraid of?"
"...No," Fang Jin tried hard to stop the injured face from being looked at, and said in a vague way: "Don't look, they will bandage them later, don't look at it..."
"I asked the doctor and said that your injury is very slippery and will not leave any traces if it is well maintained. What are you worried about now that scar removal technology is so developed?"
In fact, Gu Yuan had never asked the doctor at all. Fang Jin was obviously beaten. He was more concerned about bones and internal organs. He had no intention of asking about the wounds of the skin with a knife on his face. Fang Jin's dodging movement was obviously paused. After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned his face away and whispered: "Don't look anyway."
Gu Yuan was furious by his repeated resistance. He pointed to his face and said coldly: "If you hide, I will just take a slash here and make it even? Is it OK?"
Fang Jin froze instantly.
After a while, he finally relaxed the strength of his struggle little by little. Gu Yuan took the opportunity to move his head into his arms, let him lie on his thighs, and constantly comforting his hair and neck.
"I have already detained Gu Yang and Chi Wanru, stay at the Gu family and wait for the treatment. You don't have to worry about anything, and you can recover from the injury." Gu Yuan suddenly remembered something and said, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the consortium... If you really worry, call your people to the hospital and wait for instructions at any time. Don't worry, I won't interfere."
With Fang Jin's current state, it is not too difficult for Gu Yuan to turn the tables. He said so, "I'm sincerely drawing a clear line."
However, Fang Jin did not nod and then asked softly for a while: "...Gu Yuan."
"Um?"
"How did you find me?"
Gu Yuan paused for a moment, and only the medical instruments were beating in the ward, except for this, there were only slight breaths one after another.
After a while, Gu Yuan staggered his gaze: "It's a long story for a while."
"Gu Yuan..."
"The most important thing you are to recover from your injuries now. Let's talk about other things when the injuries are healed."
"Gu Yuan!"
Fang Jin's voice could be called a decisive one. Gu Yuan lowered his head and saw him staring at him without blinking, and there was even a kind of awesome concentration in his eyes.
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment and finally said, "Ke Rong showed me Gu Mingzong's will."
Fang Jin's expression changed slightly.
"Ke Rong pretended to cooperate with Chi Wanru, but in fact he used her as a knife to kill you, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. He made the request to draw from the Gu family consortium route and was willing to support me for the new leader of the Gu family after you die..."
Gu Yuan told Ke Rong and himself about the conversation, without any concealment, and said a cup of tea intermittently, and finally said: "... He also told me not to doubt the authenticity of the will just because I didn't get a single part of my property, because... I am not Gu Mingzong's biological son."
Fang Jin looked up at Gu Yuan.
His expression did not change at all, but his face turned slightly white.
"—Fang Jin," Gu Yuan lowered his head and looked at him, asking calmly: "At the funeral this morning, you insisted on asking me to take a last look at the body. It was because the one in the coffin was my real biological father, right?"
The air seemed to condense inch by inch, like heavy ice cubes pressing into the lungs, making the blood in the body slowly turn cold.
"..." After a long time, Fang Jin spitted out two words: "Yes."
The answer didn't seem to be beyond Gu Yuan's expectations. He closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh after a long time: "When did you discover it? Did you know it all the time when you were on the sea?"
Fang Jin was like a child who had done something wrong and said for a while: "It was not long before on the sea."
"Then are you taking me to Hong Kong to cooperate with Gu Mingzong to embezzle the assets of the consortium, or do it intentionally for other... purposes?"
What Gu Yuan originally wanted to say was to protect me. But for some reason, he paused before the words, as if some excessive expectation had turned into hesitation, and the words became "other purposes".
Fang Jin lowered his eyes, "...I want power and status, but you don't know."
"Then why did you specifically rescue Gu Yang and Chi Wanru, show them half-torn wills, and tempt them to go to Hong Kong with me? If it is for the inheritance rights of the consortium, Gu Mingzong's direct killing of Chi Wanru is the safest for you."
This was just a question, and Fang Jin was instantly in silence.
"In the past two years, when I was in Southeast Asia, I often couldn't sleep at night, lying in bed all night, with my eyes open, and recalling what happened one by one. I wondered when there was a deviation between us, how could it become like this today? Later, probably because I was thinking too much, I gradually felt that something was wrong. It seemed that after this logical and clear betrayal, there were many doubts that I couldn't catch at that time."
Gu Yuan paused and said, "Why did Gu Mingzong kill me, why did you rescue Chi Wanru, why did Mr. Ke suddenly come to G City from Hong Kong? Why did you betray me cleanly and neatly for the so-called wealth and power, things that I can give you?"
"In the end, I felt very tired," said Gu Yuan. "I have not been easy in the past few years, and sometimes I even say that licking blood from the knife is not an exaggeration. I really don't want to search for the truth that is always blinded, so I decided not to care about anything and focus on developing and strengthening myself. There is no room for recovery for those things that have happened. As long as I return to you strong enough, I will naturally become the master of everything in the future."
When Fang Jin heard "You clearly love me", his heart suddenly jumped for half a beat and even forgot to breathe.
From his perspective, you can see Gu Yuan's strong neck, a bit of stubborn and straight chin. He looked at it for a long time and said, "Will you still go and investigate the truth?"
"It should be."
"Then," Fang Jin seemed a little sad and asked, "What would you do if I didn't do it on purpose but did a lot of wrong things?"
Gu Yuan smiled, and his smile was actually full of helplessness.
"I don't know," he said, "but I will keep everything you do deeply in my heart for the rest of my life."
Fang Jin stopped talking and quietly buried his face in the soft and expensive fabric of Gu Yuanyi's hem.
In fact, at that moment, a look similar to making up his mind flashed through his eyes, but it was too fast and disappeared under his low eyelashes in a flash.
Gu Yuan no longer spoke, but just patted and stroked his hair gently, as soft and patient as coaxing a child to sleep. After a moment, his cautious breathing gradually became even. His body curled up in Gu Yuan's arms slowly rose and fell, stable and long, as if he could finally resist his tiredness and fell into a sweet dream.
Gu Yuan did not move, maintaining the hugging position, his fingers slid past the edge of the wound where he applied medicine.
A whimful thought suddenly came to my mind - if I had distorted my appearance earlier, wouldn't anyone come to fight for it, and I will be my whole life?
If he wasn't that good-looking...
If he was just indifferent to everyone and could not see any special things...
Even Gu Yuan himself was surprised by the absurdity and cruelty in his subconscious. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and his strong self-condemnation filled his mind.
At this moment, the door of the examination room was knocked twice and then pushed open. The dean stretched out his head and looked: "Mr. Gu——"
His eyes touched Fang Jin who was asleep in Gu Yuan's arms, and immediately fell silent and said softly: "Mr. Gu, our blood routine test results have come out. Some situations may require you to come and see it."
Gu Yuan's heart sank, but without saying much, he picked up Fang Jin and put it back on the hospital bed. He turned around and was about to leave, but then he turned around and tucked the blanket carefully, then turned around and walked out of the examination room and closed the door almost silently.
"What's going on?"
The dean's face was solemn and seemed a little difficult to speak, so he made a gesture to the doctor's station: "—Let's go over there and talk."
Check indoors.
As the door clicked and closed, Fang Jin opened his eyes.
He sat up in a daze, and after a moment he picked up the blanket and buried his face on it. He breathed the warm air in the blanket vigorously, as if he wanted to write down Gu Yuan's last breath, and forever engraved it in the depths of memory. Even if he walked to the ends of the earth, he could not be pulled away from his bones and blood.
The door was knocked lightly three times, two short and one long, Fang Jin said hoarsely: "Come in."
Someone carefully pushed the door and flashed in - it turned out to be Akan who had not seen him for many days!
Aken was wearing casual clothes, holding a folder under his armpit, as if he was a little tanned, but his virtuous momentum did not change. Seeing Fang Jin, he immediately bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, boss, I arranged things at the dock as planned, but I really didn't expect something happened to you halfway..."
"No one would have thought Chi Wan took action," Fang Jin said sternly, "I don't blame you."
Aken's eyes quickly surround his boss, and his heart sank: "I... Later, when I received your message, I ran to the hospital, but it was too late by then. Later, when I took my brothers to the villa in Kerong in the suburbs, I watched Master Gu take you out. I didn't dare to go up and forcefully grab people, so I followed him to this hospital, and I only found the opportunity now..."
"It's okay," Fang Jin repeated.
He didn't even change his tone at all, and he was not happy or angry at all, and could not hear any emotions.
That's how Akan was so confused that he hesitated for a while and asked carefully: "Boss, are you still leaving?"
Still leaving?
The temperature seemed to be still lingering around him, and he had to let go in an instant. All the beautiful and warm things in his life came when they should not come, and then they slipped away from their fingers when they were most painful.
——I will keep everything you do deeply in my heart and remember it for the rest of my life...
I hope I will remember it for the rest of my life. Fang Jin smiled bitterly, lifted the blanket and got off the hospital bed, and staggered when he landed on the ground.
Akan quickly stepped forward and held it, pulled out the folder from the creaking nest and handed it to Fang Jin. Fang Jin took it and stood for a while before gritting his teeth and putting it on the hospital bed.
"Let's go," he said hoarsely, "I have been setting up for so long... I can't stop leaving."
To be continued...
