Chapter 889: I Won’t Kill You For The Time Being
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the hospital, Black Hawk underwent blood transfusions and operations to remove the bullets and restore his arm…
One hour felt as long as a century.
Gu Jingze sat outside the operating room emitting a cold aura from head to toe. None of the people around him dared to go up to him.
Lin Che was the only one still standing beside him. She held his arm with one hand and looked at him quietly, waiting for him to regain his composure.
Gu Jingze only drew in a breath after a long time and patted Lin Che’s hand. “I’m fine.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. “I would be very surprised if I were you.”
He was just about to kill Black Hawk but did not expect Black Hawk to actually be his father’s illegitimate son…
He found something like this to be a little inconceivable. He had never heard his father or his mother mention this before. Gu Xiande had never talked about this either.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “I’m just a little surprised. But I will definitely find out whether or not this is true and what exactly is going on.”
Lin Che said, “If Black Hawk was speaking the truth, then there will be a reason for why he has been targeting the Gu family and why he has persistently been at odds with the Gu family. It’s probably because he feels aggrieved at being abandoned.”
Gu Jingze proceeded to think about it too. “That’s right. He didn’t do anything to me. He stood on my side when he knew that I was going to go up against Grandfather and wanted to help me overthrow him. Perhaps he really, really hates Grandfather.”
Lin Che said, “I don’t know if I’m being too softhearted. When I look at it from this perspective, if there are extenuating circ.u.mstances for everything, he doesn’t seem that evil anymore.”
Gu Jingze looked inside. Chen Yucheng walked out of the room and looked at the two of them before taking off his gloves which were still stained with blood.
“His condition has already stabilized. He’s awake now.”
Gu Jingze nodded. “I have something to ask him.”
“No problem. He’s in a very lucid state right now.”
Gu Jingze walked into the ward.
Black Hawk lay there. After the blood transfusion, there was more color in his face and he looked as if he had recovered significantly.
These men… all of them really recovered very quickly. Lin Che thought of Gu Jingze; she felt that he had recovered very quickly after getting injured.
Black Hawk was lying there when he saw the two of them come in. “Didn’t Gu Qigang come here earlier? Given your personality, it’s very surprising that you didn’t immediately check with him.”
Gu Jingze looked at him. “Who else knows about this?”
Black Hawk said, “The Yun family.”
Gu Jingze looked at him. “Are you trying to get revenge on my grandfather or on me?”
Black Hawk breathed in and looked at Gu Jingze solemnly. “Initially, I wanted to get back at the Gu family. But later on, I felt that I must take revenge on the right person. I just want Gu Xiande to receive the punishment he deserves. He was so cruel towards me when I was still an infant. He should not be living as if he deserves it.”
Gu Jingze said, “Mo Jinyan, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Before that, you should stay here and recuperate.”
Mo Jinyan looked at Gu Jingze. “You’re not going to kill me?”
Gu Jingze huffed. “I will decide what to do with you again after I find out the truth.”
Lin Che watched from the side and said to Mo Jinyan, “As for Mu Feiran, you yourself know what you did to her. I hope you can think about what you should do about Feiran and what you should do about Yunyun. Since you didn’t know about this before, there’s no reason to blame you. Now that you know, I think that you should think about how to deal with this.”
Mo Jinyan looked at Lin Che. “I’ve thought about it but I don’t want to talk to her about this now. It was my mere moment of impulse back then that resulted in an irreversible outcome. I didn’t know who exactly she was. I didn’t know that she was pregnant with my child either. I’m planning to take it seriously now so I don’t want her to find out so soon. It would scare her and put her at arm’s length as well.”
When Lin Che heard him say this, she momentarily felt that he was actually not as bad as she had thought.
She nodded. “In that case, I look forward to your performance.”
Lin Che left this place with Gu Jingze. They instructed Chen Yucheng to stay here to watch over him and told the people outside to enforce very tight security. When they went out, Chen Yucheng was still complaining, “You left him here with me… whose fault will it be if he escapes? Even if he doesn’t escape… if his henchmen come after me, creates trouble, and burns down my office, what am I going to do. Ha…”
Gu Jingze said, “This is your office but I’m the one who gave you the money to build it too. I will pay for it if they burn it down.”
Chen Yucheng was merely complaining. Of course, Gu Jingze would not actually let that happen.
However, having such a troublesome figure at his office did indeed make his stress multiply.
But Gu Jingze only left Black Hawk here because he was a special case.
Gu Jingze had placed him in Chen Yucheng’s care only because he was planning to treat him differently.
Although it had only been a few days, news about this incident had already spread amongst the wealthy and influential families.
Recently, the Gu family had really been going through troubled times.
Everyone did not know what exactly had happened this time either. Who exactly among the Yun family, the Gu family, and Mo Jinyan had gotten into a fight?
In any case, they were not afraid of the matter blowing up since they were just watching the fun. Everyone still wanted to see how exactly they had resolved the matter.
It was a pity, however, that the Gu family had done nothing ever since. The Yun family remained behind closed doors because of this incident too. Everyone had no source of gossip right now.
At the Gu residence.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, tugged at him and asked, “Are you planning to ask Father about this?”
Gu Jingze asked, “How will I do that? Am I going to ask him, ‘Black Hawk says that he’s your son. Is this true?’”
Lin Che leaned towards him, looked at him, and said, “I know it’s very difficult for you to accept it right now. But I will stand on your side no matter what decision you make.”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. However, he turned only to see that everyone was keeping a distance from him. It seemed that no one had come close to him today.
Lin Che saw him staring at his surroundings and said to him, “No need to look. After seeing your foul expression, the servants all ran far away and don’t want to bother with you.”
Only then did Gu Jingze realize that everyone had disappeared.
He looked at Lin Che. He was lucky that she was not afraid of him.
He pinched her face. “Then, why didn’t you run far away?”
Lin Che said, “I wanted to run too but you look really pitiful all alone here with a foul expression on your face.”
As a result, Gu Jingze’s expression turned even fouler.
“Just see how I deal with you later.”
“No… I know the secrets of high society now. If you mistreat me, I’ll reveal all of these huge secrets!”
Gu Jingze chased after her. “Sure. Then, how should I block your mouth?”
“By giving me money. How much do you think such a huge secret is worth?”
“I’m talking about that mouth of yours down there…”
“…”
Gu Jingze!
Gu Jingze hugged Lin Che. He needed consolation right now but no one could comfort his tumultuous heart right now, except her…
He felt that his heart could only feel at ease when he was buried in her body.
Thus, he lifted Lin Che in one swift motion and headed straight for the bedroom.
Lin Che giggled while pus.h.i.+ng him, but he did not waver at all.
As Lin Che was yielding to him after making a show of resistance, she could only follow him into the bedroom…
Outside.
The servants only heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Gu Jingze and Lin Che’s giggling.
Earlier, they had truly been frightened out of their wits when Gu Jingze had returned.
Now that he was finally smiling, all of them felt much more at ease as well.
It seemed that no one else but their Madam could make Gu Jingze smile again.
They revered Lin Che even more; they felt that they definitely could not go wrong if they stood on Lin Che’s side in the future.
