Chapter 184: Chapter 184: How to Repay Him? Chapter 184: Chapter 184: How to Repay Him? Two hours later, Gu Wei was finally wheeled out.
The bullet had gone deep but fortunately, it didn’t hit any vital organs. However, it was difficult to extract, and they needed to monitor him in the OR until the anesthesia wore off before they could move him.
By then, Gu Wei had already woken up. The doctor specifically observed his consciousness and determined that his brain was fine; it was just his abdominal injury that would need more ti to heal.
When Gu Wei was wheeled out, he saw Su ixi waiting at the door; he reached out and tightly grasped her hand.
“Gu Wei…” Su ixi couldn’t speak; she just cried upon seeing him.
It was Gu Wei who comforted her, his voice hoarse, he forced out, “From now on, you’ll have to take care of .”
“I will, I will definitely take good care of you,” she continued crying.
Gu Wei was wheeled into the VIP ward, and Su ixi and Zhou Yuan followed to take care of him.
Gu Cheng then went to see Qiu Yurou.
When Qiu Yurou heard that Gu Wei’s situation had stabilized, she finally felt less discomfort.
She just cried, “What is this, getting hurt every other day; how am I supposed to live with this?”
Gu Cheng said, “Mom, being a soldier is Gu Wei’s dream, he wants to be a ‘Soldier King’. If you really want him to have a better life, then support him, especially about his marriage. Stop forcing him to develop feelings for Manman, it’s useless, Ah Xi is his life.”
Wiping away tears, Qiu Yurou asked, “Has Manman still not been found?”
“We’re searching; a lot of police have been deployed and even so local gangs. There’s a big reward for finding Manman.”
“We must find Manman, otherwise, I can’t face her parents… I will go see Gu Wei now, ah, it’s so hard to live long these days. You kids will be the death of .”
Qiu Yurou leaned on her frail body and dizzy head.
Gu Cheng quickly went to support her.
…
It got dark.
Bai Anzhi and a group were searching for Wan Manyu in the jungle.
After a long search, the area had gradually narrowed down, yet Wan Manyu was still nowhere to be found.
Bai Anzhi snapped, “Could she have been eaten by wild animals in there?”
He left the group, heading to a deserted area alone, where the grass was waist-high and appeared empty at first glance.
He didn’t know why he was searching there; how could a living person hide here?
He took a stick and began flipping over here and there.
When he pulled apart a patch of grass, he suddenly discovered a person lying inside.
He was so scared that he sat down hard, thinking there was a dead body hidden here.
But the “corpse” looked fresh.
Just dead?
Upon closer inspection, it was a woman.
He recognized her clothes, a checkered shirt from a luxury brand, costing over eight thousand.
Only soone like Wan Manyu could afford such expensive clothing.
He couldn’t help but go over and pat her face; it was warm, her forehead burning. She was running a fever!
It was indeed Wan Manyu!
There was a slope above the patch of grass; she must have rolled down it, which is why she ended up here.
“Hey, wake up, wake up!” Bai Anzhi tapped her face.
Wan Manyu opened her eyes and saw Bai Anzhi. She weakly asked, “Gu Wei?”
“He’s not dead.”
Hearing this, she closed her eyes again, looking truly exhausted.
Bai Anzhi quickly picked her up and took her to a nearby hospital.
…
Gu Wei had slept again.
He had a dream, and in it, he was still in an intensely tense combat situation.
Thus, his sleep was fitful.
It wasn’t until he felt a pair of hands holding his own that he opened his eyes.
Waking up, he saw Qiu Yurou and Su ixi.
Zhou Yuan, seeing him awake, comnted with a smile, “Were you fighting in your dream? You kept gritting your teeth; we didn’t dare co close, afraid that you’d suddenly throw a punch.”
Really?
He turned his head to look at Su ixi.
Zhou Yuan continued, “It’s only Sister Su who dares to get close to you. As soon as she grabbed your hand, you imdiately relaxed.”
Su ixi also smiled at Gu Wei, “Don’t worry, everything is fine now.”
Everyone relaxed, except Qiu Yurou who was crying by herself.
Gu Wei wanted to comfort her but simply had no strength.
At that mont, he thought of Wan Manyu and asked, “Where is Manman?”
Su ixi replied, “We’ve found her. She’s at another hospital getting a dical checkup, and Bai Anzhi is with her. She’ll be fine.”
Gu Wei nodded.
Then, he waved Gu Cheng over.
Gu Cheng hurried to his side, “What’s up?”
Gu Wei’s voice was hoarse, and his words unclear.
Gu Cheng bent down to his ear and after a while finally understood, “Do you want to go back to the country now? Wouldn’t it be better to wait until you’re a bit better?”
Gu Wei shook his head like a fragile child.
What could Gu Cheng do? He had no choice but to listen.
“Alright, I’ll arrange it.”
Although Su ixi disapproved of him returning ho at this ti, she guessed that he really didn’t like being abroad, and since Gu Cheng promised to arrange a dical team to accompany him, as well as a private plane.
She agreed.
Though the environnt in the UK was good, she’d just experienced a terrifying kidnapping and felt uneasy about the place, even afraid to step out the door.
Qiu Yurou had no choice but to agree as well.
In their holand, Gu Wei could apply for military family protection through the army, which would an no easy mishaps.
She was simply too tired.
Gu Wei could be with whover he wanted; she didn’t want to interfere anymore.
When Gu Wei returned ho, Qiu Yurou did not go with him but stayed at another hospital to accompany Wan Manyu.
During the kidnapping, Wan Manyu had been nearly raped, resisting and therefore was beaten and injured with a broken rib. Added to the ti spent walking in the jungle, she was severely weakened.
When she woke up, she only inquired about Gu Wei’s condition and then sat alone, silently.
Bai Anzhi didn’t leave either.
He didn’t know why he hadn’t left; he had co to the UK for business and to see Su ixi.
That morning Su ixi had called him, thanking him and notifying him that she and Gu Wei were returning ho.
He simply acknowledged it.
Su ixi said, “When we return, I’ll treat you to dinner for saving us.”
“Let’s talk about it when we return.”
Bai Anzhi felt it was pointless.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to eat.
Su ixi, sensing his lack of interest, then asked, “Do you want sothing else? A project Gu Group is competing for? Gu Cheng said, if there’s a project you’re interested in next ti, just say so, and Gu Group won’t compete with you.”
“Then I hope Gu Cheng follows through,” Bai Anzhi said.
Su ixi breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid of owing favors and worried that Bai Anzhi would use his favor to exact repaynt, and his demands were sothing she couldn’t afford.
It was best if he wanted a project.
…
That day, Bai Anzhi watched Wan Manyu.
Ever since rescuing her, she had been staring at the gardenia outside the window, sotis even smiling foolishly.
He couldn’t help asking, “Are you daydreaming? It’s nice, sotis trapping oneself in dreams where dreams have everything. But such dreams are just dreams, being trapped for too long will turn one into a real fool.”
Wan Manyu finally looked up at Bai Anzhi.
“What are you looking at? If you keep this up, your parents are going to send you to a ntal hospital, but you’re not really foolish, do you really want to end up in such a place?”
Wan Manyu returned her gaze to the gardenia.
With resignation, Bai Anzhi said, “It seems you really do want to go to a ntal hospital.”
He was about to turn away when he suddenly heard Wan Manyu say, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
