Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 410: Retribution

In the hospital in City A, Gu Zheng just finished making a call to his subordinate, then turned around and entered the ward.

Gu Wanwan lay there, her gaze scattered, completely different from the smart and clever daughter she once was.

Looking at her in this state, Gu Zheng sighed deeply.

Li Jing’s suggestion had initially made him hesitant, but seeing Wanwan like this, his peace of mind leaned heavily towards Li Jing.

After sitting by the bed for a while, Li Yulan walked in from outside carrying food, "Hubby, have something to eat! You’ve been sitting here all morning."

Gu Zheng glanced at Li Yulan, she hadn’t changed much from before. Since that argument, Li Yulan seemed to have become again the woman who obeyed him completely.

In the middle, perhaps Xiang Bei deserves some credit!

"You have some too!" Gu Zheng offered Li Yulan a seat, speaking nonchalantly, "The company just called, saying there’s a problem with the financial report. I’ll head back to the office after eating. You stay here with Wanwan. If she wakes up and starts causing a fuss, call Director Li over!"

In the morning, Gu Wanwan was awake for a while, but aside from recognizing people, she merely sat there laughing foolishly, her clothes getting wet with saliva without realizing it.

Just recalling it coldly makes Gu Zheng feel somewhat uncomfortable.

How did a good family end up like this?

Li Yulan nodded slightly, "You go ahead! I’ll stay here and watch over Wanwan!"

While eating, Gu Zheng shared Li Jing’s proposal with Li Yulan, "What do you think about this?"

Li Yulan frowned slightly, "A mental institution? That’s basically letting everyone know another member of the Gu Family has gone crazy! Hubby, we can’t send Wanwan there. That’s no place for people. It’s normal for many inside to die. Wanwan can’t go!"

Gu Zheng was a bit surprised; didn’t expect Li Yulan to refuse the proposal at this moment?

He thought that sending Wanwan there first, Li Yulan would agree readily.

After all, now Wanwan brings no benefits to Yulan.

"Then let’s wait a bit longer!" Gu Zheng drank some milk brought by Li Yulan, "Have you been to the Ye Family?"

Li Yulan froze for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

The Ye Family announced they wanted to divorce Wanwan, how could she, as a mother, stand by and do nothing?

No matter what happens, Wanwan shouldn’t suffer at this time.

"What did the Ye Family say?" Gu Zheng had been busy handling the mess at the company lately, having no energy to deal with conflicts with the Ye Family.

But this matter weighed on his mind.

Originally, he thought the Ye Family didn’t value Wanwan too highly as a daughter-in-law; no matter what, they would treat her better for the sake of the Gu Family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this happened, the Ye Family pushed all the blame onto Wanwan, even proposed divorce straight away.

It seems, he overestimated the Ye Family.

In the eyes of small-minded people, there is no moral obligation.

"The Ye Family refused to return the previous fifty million dowry given to Wanwan, and even said many unpleasant things." Just thinking about those words makes Li Yulan angry, "Hubby, we can’t let the Ye Family off easily."

Gu Zheng nodded, "I’m not planning to let the Ye Family off the hook."

But at times like this, who would support the Gu Family?

Gu Wanwan has become a street rat, with everyone shouting to hit her; whoever helps the Gu Family now will not have any good outcome.

This, Li Yulan also knows well, "Hubby, the Xiang Family just came to City A, they aren’t close with anyone yet. Why not ask them for help?"

Gu Zheng paused his eating, a glint flashing in his eyes, "The Xiang Family?"

Li Yulan shivered under Gu Zheng’s gaze, the suspicion inside made her heartbeat quicken by two counts, "A friend of mine had some ties with Xiang Bei when he was young. If she goes, perhaps Xiang Bei would help the Gu Family stand up."

Gu Zheng was amused, a friend? Li Yulan really had the nerve to say it, "What friend? How come I didn’t know you had such a friend?"

Li Yulan tried to make her answer sound sincere, "Jiang Yuqing, who I often played cards with. Didn’t you meet her? She knew Xiang Bei before."

Gu Zheng said blandly, "Her? She couldn’t even keep an eye on her own husband, would she say anything to Xiang Bei? I heard Xiang Bei’s wife manages him very strictly. If misunderstood, wouldn’t the Gu Family become the instigator? Forget it!"

Seeing Gu Zheng refuse, Li Yulan realized her original plan was about to fall though, and continued to persuade him hastily, "What’s wrong? I’ve met Xiang Bei’s wife several times before. I can invite her out for tea, it’s no big deal."

Seeing Li Yulan so adamant, Gu Zheng roughly understood her intentions.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zheng said to Li Yulan, "You handle this matter. When things are almost ready, I’ll arrange to meet Xiang Bei and discuss this matter in detail."

Li Yulan was pleased by this, but dared not show it too clearly, only nodded gently, "Well, hubby, don’t overwork yourself when you go to the company in the afternoon. Health is the foundation of revolution, don’t tire yourself too much."

Gu Zheng replied, "It’s okay, I’m aware."

After eating, Gu Zheng stayed in the ward for a while longer, then got up and left.

Sitting in the car, Gu Zheng took out his phone to make a call, "Any news on Gu Ningyue? Any movement from Ling Tianyou’s side?"

"Chairman Gu, after the young miss went to country U, she vanished completely. Now even President Ling is looking for her, he specifically found U country’s hacker Kai Qi, but still no news." There was hesitation on the other end, "Chairman, could it be she’s not coming back?"

Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou hadn’t registered their marriage. If Gu Ningyue went abroad at this time and married someone else, had children, took the ten billion inheritance, what could be done?

Gu Zheng rubbed his brows, "Keep looking! Inform me immediately when there’s news. Arrange more personnel at the airport, as soon as Gu Ningyue appears, follow her to see where she goes and where she stays."

"Yes, Chairman."

After hanging up, Gu Zheng looked at the phone screen, his heart inexplicably felt heavy.

He worked hard all his life, never expected to end up like this.

Eldest daughter missing, indifferent towards his affection.

Younger daughter, among crimes and madness, now is unaware.

His only son has been disappointing since childhood, causing trouble for the family, and now is in prison.

This, perhaps, is his karma!
