Xu Chengyun was quickly transferred to the hospital and placed in a private ward.
The Shen Family previously took over the 319 case for a while, but after the Shen Family encountered trouble, the Tang Family took over.
It was the father of Tang Zihao who took over the case, but the related matters of the case still had to go through Yecheng.
Xiaofeng found an opportunity to contact Yecheng at the hospital and told him about Old Xu’s intention to confess.
Yecheng stated that he would co over imdiately with his people.
...
"Madam, a guest has arrived, saying they want to see you."
Xu Xuezi glanced at the scenery outside the courtyard, speaking nonchalantly: "Who is it?"
"The person claims they can heal the madam’s legs and is in the front yard." The identity wasn’t disclosed, just that they could heal the legs.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xuezi’s eyes brightened, though her expression was filled with doubt. She couldn’t decide who the person might be.
The visitor was a middle-aged man, dressed elegantly, with the deanor of a gentleman from a prestigious family, and possessing great taste.
"Mrs. n, hello. I am He Xiuze, Bai Liniang’s son-in-law." Although Bai Liniang did not wish to acknowledge him as her son-in-law, since he had married Haige, she had to recognize him as the son-in-law because she acknowledged Haige as her goddaughter.
"Do we know each other?" Xuezi was certainly aware of Bai Liniang’s reputation, but she also knew Bai Liniang was a person of high moral integrity and seldom socialized with others.
"We didn’t know each other before, but we do now, don’t we?" He Xiuze gave a polite smile, his gaze sweeping over Xuezi’s legs: "Mrs. n, the dical technology in the country may not be effective, but you must understand that foreign dical technology is now much more advanced."
"You an I need to go abroad for treatnt on my legs."
"Of course." He Xiuze replied seriously: "As long as Miss Xu is willing, we can arrange it at any ti."
"Why should I trust you?" The other party ca to her intent on helping with her legs, without any ties or reason to do so.
"We help Miss Xu with the hope that Miss Xu will reciprocate." He Xiuze straightforwardly stated his intention: "I heard that Old Gu is helping treat Old Xu. Miss Xu should know Old Xu’s current condition."
"Old Gu says my grandfather is not well and needs to be hospitalized for a few days. He was just transferred to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, He Xiuze furrowed his brows in surprise: "To the hospital?"
"Yes, half an hour ago."
Thinking of a possibility, He Xiuze’s expression changed: "Miss Xu, I suddenly rembered sothing. Let’s discuss your matter next ti. I need to leave first."
"Hey." Watching the visitor leave hurriedly, Xu Xuezi called out, but was ignored. She muttered to herself: Who are these people, claiming to heal my legs, only to leave like this.
Or is it that Old Gu transferred my grandfather to the hospital not for treatnt, but for so other purpose.
But considering my grandfather’s condition, what purpose could Old Gu have?
Or perhaps, my grandfather is completely well now.
"Madam, Master has returned and is heading this way," the servant reminded Xu Xuezi.
Xu Xuezi lifted her head, a smile spreading across her face: "Husband, you’re back. Old Gu and Young Madam Gu just visited, saying that grandfather needs to be hospitalized. With Yin Li back, I had her accompany grandfather to the hospital. Husband, with grandfather in the hospital and no one from our Xu Family there, people might gossip. Shouldn’t we head to the hospital now?"
She is grandfather’s granddaughter, and she should go with n Chao to prevent outsiders from gossiping.
n Chao furrowed his brows, sensing so intrigue behind Old Xu’s transfer.
"Let’s go." n Chao turned to leave.
The servant could only push Xu Xuezi to follow.
At the hospital, several parties had arrived, all inquiring about where Old Xu was staying.
n Chao and Xu Xuezi went straight to Old Xu’s ward, but when they arrived, the room contained only a few dical staff and no other people.
"Hello, where is the patient who was in this ward?" The nurse’s station clearly indicated this was the room.
"The patient suddenly woke up and felt stuffy, so he went out for a walk and should be back shortly," the nurse replied gently.
Thinking of sothing, n Chao instructed Xu Xuezi to remain in the ward while he went to find soone.
Yin Li approached from another direction, seeing her master, she hurriedly ran forward: "Master."
n Chao scrutinized Yin Li sharply: "Where is Old Xu?"
"Master, this is a ploy by the Gu Family. Old Xu had woken up earlier and just disappeared when Old Gu took him away."
She was sent away, and upon her return, Old Gu and his group were gone.
n Chao’s eyes were turbulent; with Old Xu missing, it was certainly the work of Gu Yecheng and his n. What were they planning?
"Damn it." Rarely did n Chao swear: "Let’s go to the Gu Family."
The Gu Family had taken the person from the Xu Family and now they were missing from the hospital. He had to go to the Gu Family for an explanation.
The Gu Family would have to provide a satisfactory explanation for this incident.
Upon learning Old Xu was missing, Xu Xuezi’s first thought was that the Gu Family was up to sothing, possibly targeting the Xu Family.
n Chao and Xu Xuezi imdiately headed to the Gu Family.
At this ti, Old Gu and Xiaofeng were drinking wine in Old Gu’s small courtyard. Hearing that the n Chao couple had arrived, Old Gu had them brought to the courtyard.
Upon entering, Xu Xuezi began to shout: "Su Xiaofeng, I trusted you so much, agreed to have my grandfather transferred to the hospital, and what did you do? You used . Su Xiaofeng, tell , where did you take my grandfather, and what do you intend to do to him?"
At this mont, Xu Xuezi was understandably angry.
Su Xiaofeng had directly solicited her opinion on transferring her grandfather to the hospital, and now that he was missing, she certainly had the right to question Su Xiaofeng.
If anything were to happen to her grandfather, no explanations could clear her na.
"Young people, no need to be so hot-headed. Since you’re here, sit down and try so of the rice wine my granddaughter-in-law brews. It’s sweet and smooth, unforgettable after just one sip." Old Gu had soone bring two cups, filling them with wine: "Please, have a seat."
In contrast to Xu Xuezi’s agitation, n Chao remained calm: "Since Old Gu invites us, we would be honored."
He pushed Xu Xuezi forward.
Taking a light sip, he found the wine truly extraordinary.
"Your grandfather’s illness was nearly cured long ago. Staying bedridden was not to prevent you from knowing, but to fend off those with malicious intentions against him. Rest assured, your grandfather is very safe right now and nothing will happen to him."
Since Old Xu intended to turn himself in, his safety was naturally guaranteed.
"It seems I chose the right person by having Old Gu treat grandfather." n Chao gave a slight smile.
"That was the best decision you’ve made."
"This wine is quite good."
"Indeed, I take no credit for it except for my granddaughter-in-law’s skill in winemaking."
n Chao glanced at Su Xiaofeng: "Young Madam Gu is truly multi-talented. It seems there is nothing you can’t do. I heard you’re preparing for the college entrance exam. Your determination is truly admirable."
Xu Xuezi took a sip and found it not particularly tasty, quite the contrary: "Su Xiaofeng, are you really planning to take the entrance exam? Not to be rude, but you’ve been away from school for so long. Can you even understand the questions?"
Just like a native hen trying to beco a phoenix after coming to the Imperial Capital.
While other things can be faked, exams can’t be fooled, and failing could easily beco a laughingstock.
