Chapter 187: Making a Comeback, Starting with Chi Yu

The already upset Chi Yu felt even worse after hearing this sentence.

He buried his face in the pillow.

Tu Kuan laughed heartlessly a few times, then said to the doctor, "I’m aware of his physical condition, there’s no need to keep breaking him down. He’s already feeling terrible; after all, the warmth of a wife and kids may never be in his cards in this lifetime."

The doctor mumbled, "It’s not that serious. He just needs a bit of nutritional improvement, and once he’s got that, his physical condition will improve. Don’t worry, having a wife and kids is still possible for him."

After giving instructions, the doctor and nurse left.

Once they were gone, Chi Yu finally lifted his face from the pillow.

Tu Kuan approached and said, "Now that you’re back and have had enough of this cold reception, why don’t we go home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room door suddenly swung open.

Yi Shu rushed in, followed by Xiong Yao. Both of them came to the hospital. To avoid the paparazzi, they had run around several floors of the hospital before daring to come to Chi Yu’s room.

"Chi Yu!"

"Brother Yu."

Yi Shu and Xiong Yao called out simultaneously.

Chi Yu looked at the two of them, sweating profusely, and said, "Take a seat."

Xiong Yao found himself a place to sit, while Yi Shu walked to the bedside.

As soon as Yi Shu came in, the pressure that had been weighing on his chest for days eased upon seeing the living Chi Yu: "I thought you weren’t coming back. I’ve been worried sick about this mess. Luckily, President Gu stepped in; otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do."

Chi Yu didn’t respond.

Yi Shu noticed his downcast eyes, his expression cold and indifferent, very silent, and he was puzzled inside.

What’s going on...

Noticing the person standing by the bed, Yi Shu asked, "Who is this?"

Tu Kuan introduced himself, "Ah, I’m Quan Jin’s..."

His words abruptly stopped.

Chi Yu shot Tu Kuan a warning look.

Tu Kuan realized he spoke incorrectly, as he was too used to saying "Quan Jin" without changing it.

Yi Shu asked, "What Quan Jin?"

"I mean I’m an expert at getting all-in in basketball," Tu Kuan lied.

Yi Shu’s mouth twitched, and Xiong Yao, sitting there, was even more speechless.

Tu Kuan went on, "Just kidding, I’m Chi Yu’s friend. This time, Chi Yu came back, and I happen to be accompanying him to Sui City for some business. Who knew accidents always come before tomorrow? Last night, bad luck led to some troubles, causing Chi Yu a minor injury, but you two don’t need to worry, Chi Yu’s mostly fine."

It wasn’t just a minor problem.

What loomed was a big problem, which was that he didn’t have long to live.

Yi Shu listened and only then understood, even thanking Tu Kuan, "Thank you, sorry for taking up your time."

"You’re welcome," Tu Kuan replied with great poise.

...

After leaving the hospital, Gu Yuan no longer paid attention to Chi Yu’s affairs.

That day, leaving the hospital, she was indeed upset, quite angry, though she showed no sign of it. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

In the office at this moment.

Gu Yuan had blue-light blocking glasses perched on her nose, focusing on reviewing reports, with the densely packed tables leaving her no room for distraction. Only after she finished reviewing did she take off her glasses and close her eyes to rest.

Dao An knocked and entered.

Gu Yuan opened her eyes, carefully listening to Dao An’s report on her upcoming itinerary—

"President Lu is hosting a construction and wine event at the Peninsula Hotel, and for this visit, President Gu, you need to personally go to Hong Kong to deliver the gift. The day after arriving in Hong Kong, you’ll have lunch with President Lu. After the evening event ends, President Gu, you have a trip planned to Haojiang that night..."

Gu Yuan listened quietly.

After Dao An finished reporting, Gu Yuan asked, "Are the tickets booked?"

Dao An replied, "Yes, President Gu, they’re booked."

"Got it, you can go about your business." Gu Yuan closed her eyes to rest again.

Just as Dao An was about to leave, Gu Yuan opened her eyes and called out, "Wait a moment, Dao An."

Dao An stopped, came back, and stood by the desk, "Does President Gu have any other instructions?"

Gu Yuan looked up and asked, "When is Wen Bo returning to Zhongshan?"

Gu Yuan had instructed long ago to keep a close eye on Wen Bo’s every move whenever he was in Sui City; she couldn’t let his ambitions go unnoticed. He thought he could seize the entire Gu Group with just his paltry skills?

Dao An said, "Wen Bo has been fairly well-behaved in Sui City lately, and he hasn’t planned to return to Zhongshan immediately. There’s been a lot of activity in Haojiang recently, so Wen Bo will likely go to Haojiang for a few days."

Haojiang is the country’s renowned gambling city.

Wen Bo, being who he is, wouldn’t just go there for travel; he’s sure to go to gamble in Haojiang.

Once, Wen Bo lost over ten million overnight in a Haojiang casino. It was his first time playing that big and nearly got him stuck there, but in the end, Gu Yuan personally brought him back.

Yet Wen Bo never appreciated Gu Yuan’s kindness.

In his eyes, there’s only money, living his life entirely focused on it.

"Find out precisely when Wen Bo is heading to Haojiang, but don’t alert him. If his departure is later than mine, make sure to inform me immediately." Gu Yuan carefully instructed.

Dao An, being sharp, understood the implication behind Gu Yuan’s instructions.

"Understood, President Gu, I’ll handle it now."

Wen Bo, being vengeful, had failed in his previous attempt to kidnap Chi Yu. If he knew Gu Yuan was leaving Sui City, there’s a good chance he’d strike again.

Later that night, after confirming Wen Bo’s trip to Haojiang, Dao An promptly called Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan answered, her expression visibly displeased, "My trip to Hong Kong for the wine event isn’t exactly a secret, and he probably knows my itinerary ahead of time!"

"Wen Bo must have a plan; he’ll probably wait for you to leave Sui City for Hong Kong, then carry it out," Dao An speculated.

"You’re right," Gu Yuan acknowledged Dao An’s guess.

"Wen Bo’s just going to Haojiang for fun, not for anything significant; postponing the trip has no real impact on him. If he has a plan set, he’ll certainly seize an opportunity to retaliate against Chi Yu once I’ve left, especially to prevent a repeat of the unexpected interception the other night," Gu Yuan explained based on her understanding of Wen Bo.

But there was one thing Dao An didn’t understand.

He asked his question, "President Gu, since you already warned Wen Bo, and he’s wary of you, losing face this time doesn’t really impact him much; why does he seem eager to target Chi Yu?"

In fact, the answer was simple!

Gu Yuan told Dao An, "It’s not that confusing. Wen Bo already knows about my breakup with Chi Yu; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to act against Chi Yu so easily that night."
