Chapter 1199: Should We Inform Yun Liuli?
Who knew that the instant he turned around, a knife stabbed into his abdomen.
Jacob Bellucci widened his eyes. He pushed that person aside and stumbled a few steps, still holding onto his camera with a death-like grip, afraid he would drop it.
Seeing the situation, the people sent by Fu Huai’an to protect Jacob Bellucci rushed up to him. As Cen Mo’s guy was about to strike again, Fu Huai’an’s men got entangled with him.
Jacob Bellucci, who was stumbling, lowered his head and saw the wound on his abdomen. His fingers that were pressed over the wound were covered in blood!
Although it was at night, as it was rather scenic, many foreign tourists were there to watch the night scenery!
When the people gathered around saw that Jacob Bellucci’s hands were full of blood… and that the blood was trickling down to his feet, they screamed and retreated backward. Some people used their cameras to film this, whereas some watched the fun from a short distance away!
Someone called the police, and there was also someone who helped to call an ambulance!
The guy who stabbed Jacob Bellucci managed to get away after a scuffle with the big and burly security guys.
Later, Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng received Bai Jinyu’s call and were informed that Jacob Bellucci was stabbed and brought to the hospital. All of them rushed down to the affiliated hospital of Haicheng Medical University.
Regarding Cen Mo’s fake attempt to a.s.sa.s.sinate Jacob Bellucci, Fu Huai’an kept it under tight wraps this time… not even revealing it to Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng.
When they got there, they waited outside the operating room for more than an hour before Jacob Bellucci was pushed out. The anesthetic had yet to wear off, so he was still unconscious.
Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng had been with Fu Huai’an for so many years, so they more or less had some chemistry. Seeing Fu Huai’an’s calm manner, they knew there was an inside story to this. Although they were anxious and mad, they tried their best to restrain their emotions.
They were in a hospital, so even if Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng had their speculations, they couldn’t very well ask there.
“Should we inform Yun Liuli?” Lu Jinnan asked Fu Huai’an.
Lu Jinnan and gang had seen the Weibo post that Yun Liuli uploaded. Yun Liuli had made it very clear that she was chasing after Jacob Bellucci. Lu Jinnan wasn’t scared that Yun Liuli’s showing up there would be exposed on the web, for this was something Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and Fu Huai’an would be happy to see!
Fu Huai’an shook his head. “Keep it from her for the time being!”
Tang Zheng’s brows furrowed. “Didn’t we send some men to protect him? How did he still get injured?”
“It seems like… the enemy doesn’t want to let Old Gu’s younger brother off!” Lu Jinnan said with a frown before looking towards Fu Huai’an.
“After Jacob Bellucci wakes up, we’ve got to tell him… to stay in Haicheng for the time being. Should he return to Venice, he’ll be too far away for us to protect him if someone tries to kill him there!” Tang Zheng said.
After saying that, Tang Zheng seemed to understand something, causing him to turn towards Fu Huai’an. But Fu Huai’an didn’t say a word.
Tang Zheng wondered if it was an act Fu Huai’an put up with Gu Qingcheng in order to make the latter stay in Haicheng.
Lu Jinnan also had the same suspicions. However, they weren’t in a private setting. Since they were in public, there were some things they shouldn’t be talking about, lest someone overheard them, and brought Gu Qingcheng unnecessary trouble.
Since this was a big act to begin with… they should just properly hold their own scripts and put on a good show.
“On the way here, I only heard that he was stabbed with a knife. Could it be that someone seeking revenge got the wrong person… or could it be a lunatic? After all, Old Gu’s enemies aren’t simple. If Old Gu’s enemies want someone dead, he should have looked for an a.s.sa.s.sin to blow the target’s brains out with one shot instead of getting him to stab the target with a knife! What’s more, it was in broad daylight, in the eye of the public…” Tang Zheng very quickly got into the role and started a.n.a.lyzing.
“Or perhaps someone wants to confuse us, wanting to disguise this as an accident to lead us into thinking the a.s.sa.s.sin was seeking revenge and got the wrong person. Or maybe he wants us to regard the a.s.sa.s.sin as a lunatic!” Lu Jinnan remained standing with both hands in his pockets, his brows furrowed deeply. “I heard… that the people a.s.signed by Old Fu to protect Jacob Bellucci didn’t even manage to capture that one person with their combined efforts. It’s obvious… that the a.s.sa.s.sin has extraordinary skills!”
Tang Zheng frowned and hesitated a moment before nodding. “Yeah! To be able to escape from so many people, his skills should be pretty good!”
“Old Fu, what do you think?” Lu Jinnan asked Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an frowned, looking as if something occurred to him.
He looked into the ward through the window and glanced at Jacob Bellucci before saying, “Old Gu’s death has to do with Cen Mo. The most likely person to persist in killing even Jacob Bellucci after Old Gu dies is Cen Mo, who is known to seek revenge at every instance! But Sheng Kang brought news saying that all the men under Old Gu have been taken over by Saihand. In the midst of helping Cen Mo handle everything, if he was struck with the thought of replacing Cen Mo, then he ought to be thanking Old Gu instead of trying to kill Jacob Bellucci…”
“Unless… Cen Mo has woken!” Lu Jinnan finished the sentence.
Tang Zheng gazed at Lu Jinnan in surprise.
Lu Jinnan’s throat vibrated. “Old Fu is right. Only Cen Mo, who hates Old Gu to the core, only someone like Cen Mo would kill Old Gu’s younger brother to vent his anger because he can no longer take revenge on Old Gu.”
Without Gu Qingcheng, as proper businessmen, Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng naturally wouldn’t be able to obtain any news of Cen Mo. It was perfectly logical for them to get together and speculate about this.
Tang Zheng was quiet for a long while before asking, “Could it be because Jacob Bellucci looks identical to Old Gu, that’s why the enemies treated Jacob Bellucci as Old Gu?”
“Well… we can’t eliminate this possibility.” Lu Jinnan nodded.
“None of us understand Old Gu’s complex world, as we’ve only been guarding our little territory in Haicheng all along. If those people truly regard Jacob Bellucci as Old Gu…” Fu Huai’an halted in his words. Gazing at Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan, he continued after a while, “In Haicheng, we might have the ability to protect Jacob Bellucci. But if he’s overseas, none of us can take care of him!”
“Yeah, ordinary bodyguards… probably won’t be able to s.h.i.+eld Jacob Bellucci. The men Old Gu left to protect us have received an order they must obey to their deaths… Wherever we are is where they go. Last time, in the US, I asked them to go protect Xiaonian, but they said… they had received orders to protect me. Anyone other than me doesn’t concern them!” Lu Jinnan said with a frown.
Fu Huai’an nodded. “After Jacob Bellucci wakes up, try and persuade him to stay in Haicheng. At least… until after this period of time. Several years from now, when everyone forgets about Old Gu, it’ll be safer for him to go elsewhere.”
Lu Jinnan nodded.
“Let me do the persuading!” Bai Jinyu heard the conversation when he exited the ward.
Tang Zheng also felt that it was better for Bai Jinyu to do the job. He nodded. “Old Bai is a physician, so Jacob Bellucci might be more willing to listen to Old Bai’s words!”
Fu Huai’an also nodded.
