Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 299: Are You Okay Now?

Gu Beicheng really chased after those assassins for over an hour and no news came back.

In order not to alarm the kids who were out playing, Gu Lingqian arranged another cruise ship to take them out to sea.

As for Xia Yinian, she made an excuse that she was feeling unwell and stayed on the original cruise ship, in her room the whole time.

There were several bodyguards guarding outside the room and two on the balcony; overall, there didn’t seem to be a major safety issue.

Gu Lingqian originally planned to chase after Gu Beicheng in a speedboat, but because there were still too many people to take care of here, he had to stay behind.

After the new cruise ship took everyone away, Gu Lingqian returned to Xia Yinian’s room.

"Your two friends went out to sea with everyone," he said. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"I know, they called me, and I’ve explained it to them."

Xia Yinian nodded, her gaze then firmly fixed on the sea outside the window: "What’s the situation outside right now?"

What she really wanted to ask was, how is Uncle doing now? Why has there been no news until now?

"The identity of the killers is not yet clear, the police are involved, but there’s still no news from Uncle’s side."

Gu Lingqian walked to the window, looking at the calm sea surface: "Why were you with Uncle today?"

He turned and walked towards the French window, intending to push it open.

Xia Yinian, however, seemed frightened and quickly said, "Don’t go out, it’s dangerous."

Gu Lingqian’s fingers paused on the French window, and he looked back at her: "Afraid someone will ambush me too?"

Xia Yinian didn’t speak; in any case, she was somewhat panicked.

At that time, she and Gu Beicheng were outside when they were suddenly attacked.

If Gu Lingqian went out now, would it be possible that he too... She was truly panicked, once bitten, twice shy.

Gu Lingqian eventually withdrew his hand that had reached out and came back to sit by the bed, looking at her.

"There are bodyguards outside, what are you afraid of?"

Xia Yinian still didn’t speak, her eyes somewhat vacant.

Looking at her, Gu Lingqian felt a twinge of pity, "If you’re really so scared, I’ll take you back first."

"No, I won’t go back." Uncle hasn’t returned yet, she didn’t want to leave at this time.

Staying here, if there was any news about Uncle, at least she would know immediately.

"You’re worried about Uncle?" Gu Lingqian asked indifferently.

She shouldn’t admit it, but facing his gaze, she suddenly felt she didn’t have the courage to deny it.

So, she nodded: "Yeah."

"Don’t worry, Uncle is tougher than you think, he’ll be fine."

Actually, if she had denied it, Gu Lingqian would definitely have some thoughts in his mind, but now, he admitted that he felt relieved.

"You still haven’t told me why you were with Uncle." His question wasn’t accusatory, nor did it hold suspicion, just curiosity.

"Was it Uncle who helped Taotao and me get into Kyoto University?" Xia Yinian countered with a question instead of answering.

Gu Lingqian was slightly startled, then smiled: "Yes, Uncle had someone investigate, then he told me to send someone to deal with the aftermath. In fact, it was all Uncle’s people doing the work."

Xia Yinian bit her lip, her fingers tightly clenched.

Although Gu Beicheng could sometimes be a real jerk, really bad, the things he silently did for her in the background were also not few.

Now, where exactly is Uncle? Is he safe?

Who is it that wants to deal with him, why did they attempt to attack him?

Uncle, are you alright now?
