Gu Yusheng specifically told Xiaowang and Lu Bancheng not to let Old Master Gu know that he had been injured. Few people knew, and he wanted it that way to avoid having visitors.
Qin Zhiâai had left the hospital after his infusion last night. When she returned in the morning, he was still asleep.
She tucked him in, sat quietly for a while, and then went to buy breakfast outside the hospital. After coming back, she continued watching over him. Gu Yusheng finally woke up at around 10:00 a.m.
The breakfast had already gotten cold but, fortunately, Xiaowang had brought some porridge for him.
Gu Yushengâs appetite wasnât good. After just a few bites, he leaned back, closed his eyes, and asked Xiaowang for a work status.
While Xiaowang was giving his report, a nurse came in to begin another intravenous drip.
Xiaowangâs report was mostly about the Gu Company. Qin Zhiâai sat on the sofa quietly without disturbing them.
After the report, Xiaowang then turned to ask Qin Zhiâai, âSecretary Qin, do you feel any better now?â
âIâm much better now.â Qin Zhiâai put down her phone and smiled politely. âThank you.â
âTheyâre bastards! What they did was abominable!â Xiaowang muttered angrily in a low voice. Then he asked Qin Zhiâai curiously, âSecretary Qin, why would they kidnap you? Do you have a beef with anyone?â
Upon hearing Xiaowangâs question, Gu Yusheng opened his eyes and looked at Qin Zhiâai.
Qin Zhiâai shook her head. âNo, I donât.â
âDid they say anything when they kidnapped you?â Gu Yusheng suddenly asked. âMaybe they wanted money or something?â
Qin Zhiâai gave it serious thought and then shook her head again. âNo.â
âItâs so strange. They didnât want money or ask you for anything else. Whatâs wrong with them?â Xiaowang was disgusted.
Hearing Xiaowang trying to figure it out, Gu Yushengâs eyes quickly flickered and then he turned to look at Qin Zhiâai. âSecretary Qin.â
âYes?â Qin Zhiâai also turned to look at Gu Yusheng.
âAcross from the hospital, thereâs a store selling sweet roasted chestnuts. Go buy some for me. Thank you.â
Before Gu Yusheng could finish, Xiaowang quickly stood up from the sofa. âMaster Gu, let me do this for you. Secretary Qin needs to rest...â
Gu Yusheng winked at Xiaowang, who finished speaking for a moment, and then patted his head and turned to ask Qin Zhiâai, âSecretary Qin, could you please go get those chestnuts for Master Gu? I just thought of one more piece of business to share with Master Gu.â
......
After Qin Zhiâai had left the room, Xiaowang walked to the window to check on where she was and then turned around to face Gu Yusheng. âMaster Gu.â
âMm...â Gu Yusheng answered lightly before asking, âHave the police finished their investigation yet?â
âYes. Several suspects admitted they had kidnapped Secretary Qin just because they thought sheâs pretty.â
âOh.â Gu Yusheng nodded slightly and then added, âGo investigate these men and find out exactly who theyâre hooked up with.â
