Itâs such hot news. How could it be buried away already?
Qin Zhiâai continued checking the news on Sina but was still confused when she finally exited. When she did, her message reminder popped up, so she tapped it.
There were numerous text messages all from the 10086 service number, and there was one missed call.
In a glance, Qin Zhiâai recognized Gu Yushengâs number.
Why is he suddenly calling me?
Qin Zhiâai was always rational when it came to recognizing situations that were out of her control to worry about; however, if a situation involved Gu Yusheng, all rationale vanished.
She stared at her cell phone for more than half an hour deciding whether or not she should return the call. It was late, nearly midnight, and it was likely heâd be asleep by now, so she compromised and decided to text him.
âWhat did you call me about this afternoon?â
Qin Zhiâai put her phone on the nightstand and laid down to sleep. Immediately, the phone rang.
She grabbed it instantly and saw âGu Yushengâ lighting up the screen. Without hesitation, she answered, âHello?â
The other end of the call was noisy, and many people seemed to be talking at once. Qin Zhiâai finally identified Nanny Zhangâs voice in the background.
âHeâs been in surgery for a long time. Why isnât he out yet?... Nurse, nurse, what is going on in surgery? Whatâs taking so long?...â
Nurse? Whoâs sick?
Qin Zhiâai frowned. Not hearing anything from Gu Yusheng for a long time, she became nervous, saying again, âHello?â
After no response from Gu Yusheng, Qin Zhiâai called his name, âGu Yusheng?â
Nanny Zhangâs voice was becoming more distant from Gu Yushengâs phone, and the last thing Qin Zhiâai could clearly hear her say was, worriedly, âWhat do you mean it doesnât look optimistic?â
Qin Zhiâaiâs heart jumped. âGu Yusheng, are you there?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This time, Qin Zhiâai finally heard a short response from Gu Yusheng. âHere.â
âWhat...â Qin Zhiâai started, but upon hearing Nanny Zhangâs voice again, she paused. Nanny Zhang asked Gu Yusheng, âYoung Master, do you think anything will happen to your grandpa?â
Qin Zhiâai forced herself to remain silent.
Grandpa Gu?
Is something wrong with grandpa Gu?
Nanny Zhang is so worried... What could be happening with grandpa Gu?
Grandpa Gu is Gu Yushengâs only family member left.
Five years ago, he was so crushed when his parents passed away. And if grandpa Gu were to pass away now...
Qin Zhiâai felt a knife twisting in her heart. It was so real that she could not breathe. She asked without any hesitation, âGu Yusheng, which hospital are you at now?â
Gu Yusheng hesitated for a moment before telling her.
After ending the call, Qin Zhiâai immediately turned on the light. She flipped the blanket off, put on some clothes, and grabbed her wallet and cell phone before hurrying downstairs.
She hailed a taxi within a minute of standing at her apartment complexâs gate and told the driver the hospital name. Upon arriving, she paid the driver and rushed into the emergency room building.
Qin Zhiâai took the elevator to the surgery floor. When she walked out of the elevator, she saw Gu Yusheng standing against the wall next to the surgery room at the end of the hallway.
