Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Bam!

After Gu Changfeng hung up the phone, he called Qin Ming over and instructed him:

"Bring me that special medicine I’ve been reluctant to use."

Seeing Gu Changfeng in a great mood, Qin Ming speculated, "Mr. Jing, are you going to meet the Seventh Young Lady?"

Gu Changfeng responded with a slight hum:

"Her arm is injured. The regular medicine at the hospital is too slow. I’m going to deliver the medicine to her."

Qin Ming chuckled and asked:

"Mr. Jing, you’re paying so much attention to the Seventh Young Lady. Aren’t you afraid she might overthink it?"

Gu Changfeng didn’t plan to reveal his identity to An Ge just yet.

The revenge against the Qin family for the massacre could be carried out by him alone.

He didn’t want his Qiqi to descend into that same pain, much less stain her hands with blood.

Therefore, Qin Ming’s words served as a reminder to Gu Changfeng.

He replied, "I will be mindful of the boundaries."

...

Gu Changfeng arrived at the hospital half an hour later.

By then, it was already 8 PM.

Since he had called An Ge in advance, when he appeared at the door of the hospital room, the bodyguards naturally let him in.

Just as he stepped inside, Huo Shaoyan’s subordinate, who had been hiding in the shadows watching over An Ge, hurriedly made a call to Huo Shaoyan.

"President Huo, a man has come to visit your wife."

At that moment, Huo Shaoyan was drinking with Xiao Chaofeng.

He had sought out Xiao Chaofeng to investigate whether An Muxin had any involvement in harming Huo Huaisang.

After all, An Ge didn’t strike him as a woman who would fabricate baseless claims. If she suspected that An Muxin was behind Huo Huaisang’s illness, it must not be unfounded.

Thus, Huo Shaoyan wanted Xiao Chaofeng’s Falcon Organization to look into the matter.

But this call from his subordinate made him frown immediately.

His voice turned icily cold, "What do you mean by ’a man’?"

The subordinate replied, "That... that man has concealed himself quite well. I couldn’t see him clearly."

Pausing slightly,

"Judging by his height, build, and attire—he seems to be an attractive and sophisticated adult man..."

Sophisticated?

Attractive?

Huo Shaoyan clenched his back teeth, his voice sharp and cold: "Keep a close watch. I’m heading over immediately."

After hanging up the call, Huo Shaoyan stood up abruptly.

Xiao Chaofeng, meanwhile, had already polished off an entire bottle of white liquor.

He had been agitated lately.

Not only was Nan Xiao suing him for divorce, but she also threatened to ruin him completely and drive him into bankruptcy if he refused to sign the divorce papers.

All in all, Xiao Chaofeng’s mood had been utterly terrible recently.

Initially, when Huo Shaoyan invited him to drink, he was more than happy to oblige.

But when Huo Shaoyan arrived, he only drank tea instead of liquor, claiming it was to protect his liver in preparation for being a healthy donor for his precious daughter.

Fine, tea-drinking it was.

But halfway through the tea, Xiao Chaofeng erupted in fury.

He bent his long leg and kicked the coffee table in front of him,

"What the hell is this? You call me here for drinks, and then you make me drink tea instead! Tea is one thing, but now you’re ditching me halfway through? Where the hell are you going?"

Huo Shaoyan gazed at Xiao Chaofeng for a few seconds.

His eyes rested on Xiao Chaofeng’s drunken and reddened pupils.

After a long pause, he calmly spoke to Xiao Chaofeng:

"If you handle my request properly, I’ll help you reconcile with Nan Xiao."

That statement caused Xiao Chaofeng’s pupils to quake for a moment.

His emotions were out of control, his eyes reddened and faintly moist as if overwhelmed by a sudden wave of powerful feelings.

His voice grew urgent: "What did you say?"

Huo Shaoyan raised his brow and said coolly: "You heard me."

Leaving those words, Huo Shaoyan turned to leave. But Xiao Chaofeng grabbed his wrist.

"Wait! You bastard, explain yourself! How are you going to help me?"

Nan Xiao had vanished completely in her quest to divorce him; he was on the brink of digging up every inch of ground to find her.

Maybe because Xiao Chaofeng’s plight mirrored his own current situation in some way, out of a small sense of shared misery, Huo Shaoyan said to him:

"Have you ever considered that the son you have with Nan Yun, Xiao Jingchen—he’s not actually Nan Yun’s, but rather... Nan Xiao’s?"

Xiao Chaofeng was struck speechless by the shock.

Huo Shaoyan continued:

"Xiao Jingchen is Nan Xiao’s child."

After some hesitation, he added with deliberate implication,

"Nan Xiao’s avoiding you because she doesn’t want to see you. But if you reveal Xiao Jingchen’s true parentage publicly, you won’t have to look for her—she’ll come to you."

Xiao Chaofeng trembled with emotion, his voice wavering, "How... How do you know that?"

Unperturbed, Huo Shaoyan replied:

"Nan Yun has a mother who’s addicted to gambling. Once she owed enormous debts to loan sharks and chased after Nan Yun for money. During their confrontation, in her agitation, she let this slip—and I happened to overhear."

After a brief pause, he added, "That was about a week ago."

Xiao Chaofeng exploded in anger: "Why the hell didn’t you tell me sooner?"

Huo Shaoyan raised an eyebrow: "I’ve got my hands full coaxing my own woman. Where would I find time for your mess? Besides, telling you now isn’t too late either."

Leaving those words, Huo Shaoyan walked away.

Outside, he got into his car and instructed Qin Lang, "To Jingcheng Hospital."

After giving the order, he pulled out his phone and dialed An Ge.

At that moment, An Ge was talking with Gu Changfeng. Given her existing frustrations with Huo Shaoyan, she couldn’t possibly answer his call.

Thus, not only did she decline the call, but she also turned off her phone entirely.

After doing so, she directed her gaze back to Gu Changfeng and said:

"Mr. Gu, about the blue marks on your face—once I’ve recovered and been discharged, I’ll introduce you to some specialized experts. Cosmetic surgery has advanced significantly these days, and your situation shouldn’t be particularly difficult to treat."

Gu Changfeng’s face was one he’d altered through disguise.

As such, he didn’t care about the unsightly marks on it.

He was here simply to check on An Ge’s condition and to deliver her medicine.

Handing over the special ointment, his voice was warm and gentle:

"I brought this special ointment from abroad. Apply it three times a day. In three days, not only will the wound heal, but no scar will remain."

An Ge accepted the ointment. "That miraculous?"

Gu Changfeng didn’t plan to linger in An Ge’s hospital room, as staying longer wouldn’t be ideal.

Thus, after her words, he said to her, "I’ve still got things to do, so let’s leave it at this for today."

With that, he turned to leave.

But An Ge grabbed his arm, saying, "Wait..."

An Ge’s curiosity about Gu Changfeng’s identity was too strong. She had to uncover whether Gu Changfeng’s true self had any ties to the Qin family.

To do so, she needed to confirm whether the crescent-shaped birthmark was on his lower back.

Gu Changfeng wasn’t aware of her thoughts, but her action made him turn around.

His deep, enigmatic black eyes settled on An Ge’s pale, tearful face.

Her face was stark white, and her eyes brimmed with poignant layers of moisture, like she was suppressing unspoken grievances. The sight made his chest ache inexplicably.

Gu Changfeng frowned tightly, resisting the impulse to pull her into his embrace and comfort her.

He looked at her, his throat moving several times before he softly asked, "What’s wrong?"

An Ge glanced at the fresh grape juice Nanny Lin had placed on the coffee table earlier and said:

"Uh... My throat feels a bit uncomfortable. Could you help me get that glass of juice?"

Gu Changfeng murmured in agreement and then turned to walk toward the coffee table.

Half a minute later, An Ge took the glass of grape juice from Gu Changfeng’s hand.

Her pink lips touched the rim of the glass as she took a couple of sips. Yet her gaze remained fixed on Gu Changfeng the entire time.

Realizing she was watching him, Gu Changfeng raised a thick eyebrow slightly and asked in a low, gentle tone, "What’s the matter?"

Embarrassed after being caught staring, An Ge’s face instantly flushed with color.

She quickly looked away, her tone flustered:

"Nothing... It’s just... It’s just that I suddenly realized you’re quite approachable, not as intimidating as you seem."

Gu Changfeng lowered his gaze to her and said, "Don’t be afraid of me."

That’s what he said.

An Ge stared blankly for a moment.

She didn’t quite understand the deeper meaning behind his words.

Her expression didn’t shift much, and she laughed lightly, saying, "Why?"

Gu Changfeng was momentarily silent, caught off guard by her question.

After a long pause, he spoke: "Because, no matter the circumstance, I will never hurt you."
