Lu Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, but the thought of Leng Xuan soon made him purse his lips. “Gu Si maimed Leng Xuan’s hands though. Is he……”

  Ye Junci fell silent for a couple of seconds. “Leng Xuan is still alive, at least. Let’s wait and see what the Elders’ Association intends to do.”


  Ye Junci’s heart started racing at the thought of what was to come.

  “Alright. If you hear any news from the Elders’ Association inform me right away.”
……

  The next day.

  Gu Mang opened her eyes, only to be greeted by warm sunlight that shone through the curtain. The weather seemed good. Although the ward was not brightly lit, she could still see everything clearly.

  She then tilted her head and saw Gu Si sleeping on the sofa at the side of the ward. Retracting her gaze, she rested her left wrist on her forehead and blankly looked down as she fell deep in thought.

  She heard the sofa creak just then.

  Gu Si slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. It was only that moment that he looked like a little kid. He turned to check on Gu Mang’s condition and when he noticed that her eyes were open, he said excitedly, “You’re awake, sis!”


  He immediately hopped off the sofa and walked over to her, feeling relaxed upon noticing her healthier complexion. He picked up an empty glass. “I’ll get you some water.”


  Gu Mang closed her eyes and then slowly sat up in bed to take the glass of water from Gu Si. She drank half of it before regarding him. “How did you handle it?”


  The rest of the gang had already left the hospital by the time she stepped out of her ward to ask the doctor for more sleeping pills. The person guarding her ward told her that they had left to interrogate the driver. Knowing Gu Si, there was no way he could wait around if he had found out who the mastermind was.

  Gu Si’s lips curled into a wicked smirk as he looked at Gu Mang’s injury. “I maimed Leng Xuan’s hands and set the Leng residence on fire.”


  Unsurprised, Gu Mang put the glass of water aside and put a hand on his head as she lifted her chin towards the bedside. “Sit.”


  Gu Si sat down at the edge of the bed. “Why did you chase after that van last night?”


  Upon recalling the face she saw in the van’s passenger seat, Gu Mang pursed her lips. Her dark eyes stared into Gu Si’s eyes as she said seriously, “I saw Dad.”


  Gu Si’s eyes bulged in shock. “Impossible! We buried Dad and Mom with our own two hands.”


  “He looks exactly like Dad.”


  “How is that possible?” he asked in disbelief as he furrowed his eyebrows.

  Gu Mang could not figure it out either, but one thing was for sure: that person was working with Leng Xuan.

  Gu Si looked down as he fell deep in thought. A few seconds later, he looked up again and said, “I’ll get Brother Jiangsui to investigate the Gu family again.”


  Gu Mang had to wait for her injury to recover first, so she nodded.

  Gu Si was suddenly reminded of the anonymous email he received last night. “Sis, I……”


  His voice trailed off quickly.

  The email had been so timely that it was easy to guess where it came from. It was just that he did not know if it was Qin Fang and He Yidu who was helping him or if it was Lu Chengzhou, who might not have actually forgotten about Gu Mang. Either way, the news would affect Gu Mang’s emotions.
