Chapter 862: A Million Tis for You (224)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fan Shixin found her solution to be rather feasible and said, “Young Sir was rather worried about it too. Firstly, because you’re now in charge of the Gu Corporation, and secondly, because you can’t step foot inside R Nation. However, it does seem like a good solution for now.”
“Yes, I’ll feel much safer taking him there myself. I can’t trust anyone else to bring him there.”
If sothing were to happen to Gu Beicheng along the way, she would hold it against herself for the rest of her life.
“We can’t afford any delay, not even a single day. Go map out the route and make a mask of my face. I’ll head to Wei Ni Estate now.”
“Alright.”
She looked i Yangyang up.
She then explained the entire situation to i Yangyang, who was shocked out of her senses. “Sis, you’re still planning to return to that hellhole, R Nation?” i Yangyang asked in astonishnt.
“I must make a trip there now. That’s why I ca here to trouble you to cover at the Gu Corporation for the ti being. We are of similar build and stature, you should be able to pass off as with a wig on. Shixin will lend you a hand.”
“That’s not an issue. My main concern is you. You must be very careful along the way, and you mustn’t commit any blunders at all. Everything will be fine as long as Pei Yi doesn’t discover you. But it’s so chaotic there...” said i Yangyang.
“Since I’ve decided to go there, I’ll naturally make all the necessary preparations. I really hope I won’t make a wasted trip this ti. Everything will be worth it as long as he cos to.”
i Yangyang held her hand and said, “Sis, I really feel so exhausted for you. There are so many things that you have to tend to. I had a bad impression of Lin Mingxi ever since the boot camp we attended years ago. I only changed my opinion of her after hearing you say that she has changed quite a bit. However, the fact that she’s adding on to your troubles right now really infuriates .”
“She’s just too upset. However, it’s going to be hard on you once I leave for R Nation with Beicheng. You must go to the office and the hospital regularly in my place.”
“It won’t be tough, I don’t have much to do anyway. Besides, Erlan is the only artiste who’s signed to our studio. There’s nothing much to be done. Sis, you’re being too nice to the Gu family. You’ve been toiling and slogging your guts out to handle all the ss that’s happened after their mishap. You’re really going to tire yourself out,” said i Yangyang, hugging her.
“I’m also a part of the Gu family. Once Mingxi recovers, I’ll no longer have to handle the Gu Corporation. Things will be much easier for too. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. By the way, look out for Lin Mingyuan if she shows up at the hospital again. She’s on bad terms with Lin Mingxi and you don’t have to talk to her at all. She recognizes my voice. If there’s a need to speak to her, just get the bodyguards to relay the ssage.”
“Alright. Sis, when do you plan to set off?” i Yangyang asked.
“I can’t wait any longer. We’re leaving tonight.”
An Xiaoning did not bring too many bodyguards with her when she left at night, lest she aroused unnecessary suspicions and attention.
She brought No. 5, No. 8, and Xiao Bai along.
They embarked on the journey in a group of five, including Gu Beicheng.
She was the only one amongst them who was wearing a mask.
They boarded the private jet and touched down on a mountain in R Nation.
They then headed to their destination by car.
It was not a smooth journey at all.
Fortunately, after an arduous journey that lasted three days, they finally arrived at their destination.
She knocked on the door, and a little boy answered the door.
“Who are you looking for?” the little boy asked in his puerile voice.
Upon hearing that they were there to seek treatnt, the boy brought them inside.
It was a house located at the foot of a mountain deep inside the woods.
It boasted of a rustic aura.
Although it was dilapidated and worn out, it was still rather spick and span.
No. 5 was carrying Gu Beicheng on his back while No. 8 and Xiao Bai were supporting his weight from behind. They followed the little boy to the main house.
The little boy knocked on the door politely and said. “Grandpa, soone’s here to seek treatnt.”
“Let them in,” said a voice that seed to co from an old man.
The boy pushed the door open gently and led them in.
A bearded old man was sitting on a high chair in the room.
He seed to be a Taoist priest and appeared to be in his seventies or eighties, with his long, snowy white hair, which he had pulled back into a bun.
No wonder he wasn’t enticed by money at all.
An Xiaoning bowed to him respectfully and said, “Uncle, we just ca here all the way from S Nation, precisely because we had heard about how skilled you are in treating illnesses. Several doctors have said that my brother is going to beco a vegetable if he doesn’t co to soon. Could you please take a look at my brother? I’ll be eternally grateful.”
“I can, but I’ve never made deals for free. I don’t want money or other material possessions. I just need you to promise one thing.”
“That’s only what I should do. I can’t allow you to treat my brother for free. Go ahead and na your terms, I’ll do it as long as it’s within my ans.”
The elderly man said slowly, “I won’t make you risk your life and limb or anything. All I’m asking is for you to talk to using your real face and identity. We’ll then talk about what you need to help with.”
An Xiaoning was appalled to realize that the elderly man could tell that she was wearing a mask, for ordinary people would have never been able to do so.
She imdiately agreed with a nod, “Sure.”
She removed her mask to reveal her true face, after which she explained, “I wasn’t trying to hide my face on purpose. It’s just, I’ve offended soone here and I’m afraid that he’ll take revenge on .”
“I understand.” He waved at his grandson and said, “Yan’er, co here.”
The little boy stepped forward slowly and leaned on his lap.
The elderly man introduced, “This is my grandson. I’ll agree to help you if you promise to help raise him until he reaches adulthood, Miss.”
An Xiaoning did not expect him to make such a request. Raising a child was no issue for her at all.
“No problem. But, Uncle, could you tell why you’d like to place your grandson in my care? Most people would usually feel reluctant to part with their grandsons at all. Why do you trust when you don’t know well at all?”
“This may be the first ti we’re eting each other, but you’ve brought your brother here to see , didn’t you? That’s a form of trust too. I definitely can’t bear to give him up for adoption, but we’re the only ones left in this family. I’m already advanced in my years, and I know the state my health is in. I’m afraid there won’t be anyone to take care of him after I pass on. The world is full of evil souls. Frankly speaking, I would have placed him under the care of soone else even if you weren’t the one who ca here today.”
Weren’t they a family of doctors? Why are the two of them the only ones left? An Xiaoning wondered.
Noticing that she was remaining silent, the elderly man added, “Rest assured, Miss, you only have to raise him into an adult. My grandson won’t want a single cent of your assets. How his life turns out after he reaches adulthood will all depend on him.”
“You’re mistaken, Uncle. That’s not what I’m worried about. Since I’ve agreed to adopt him, I’ll definitely treat him like my own. Don’t worry, Uncle. I, An Xiaoning, am a woman of my word. I’ll need you to treat my brother, Uncle.”
Seeing how sincere she was, the elderly man nodded and said, “Carry him into my room.”
An Xiaoning nodded and instructed No. 5 to bring Gu Beicheng into the room together with the elderly man while she shifted her gaze onto the little boy.
The little boy did not show any signs of reluctance despite having heard his grandfather’s words, and he seed to be rather sensible. She squatted down and asked, “What’s your na?”
