Chapter 232: 232 Uncle Guang’s Conundrum!_1

By the time they arrived at the hospital, it was already half-past nine, and Ji Guangsheng had just gotten up.

It wasn’t that he got up late, but rather his age was showing.

With old age come three treasures, greed, fear of death, and little sleep.

Ji Guangsheng wasn’t afraid of death, but he always suffered from insomnia at midnight, often waking up at two o’clock and falling asleep again after seven, only to awake at half-past nine every day.

He was sitting up in bed chatting with Uncle Guang, looking quite a bit more spirited than before.

However, his expression was very serious.

But they were too far away for Gu Chen to hear what the two were talking about.

Xiao Tangtang saw her grandfather, toddled over to the bedside, and revealed a brilliant smile to Ji Guangsheng.

"Grandpa, Tangtang is here!"

The little fellow’s voice was tender and cute.

At the sound of her voice, Ji Guangsheng’s heart immediately softened a great deal.

He smiled affectionately at Tangtang, "Good girl, have you missed Grandpa?"

The little one replied in a sweet, milky voice, "Miss Grandpa, and miss little uncle too!"

Ji Guangsheng stroked her head with his hand, "Grandpa missed you too."

"Dad." Ji Pianran approached the hospital bed with a smile on her face.

Ji Guangsheng looked up and revealed a smile to Ji Pianran and Gu Chen, who stood behind her.

"Mom took Ji Chu shopping, they’ll be back in a bit."

Wu Shuhui knew that Ji Pianran was coming today as well, so she took Ji Chu to the streets early in the morning to buy some fresh fruit.

"Even though someone was sent to buy them, she wasn’t willing to let that happen and insisted on picking them herself." Ji Guangsheng’s tone was helpless, but it was clear he was actually pleased.

Ji Pianran set up the small eating tray on the bed and placed the porridge and cold dishes she had brought on it, before turning to Ji Guangsheng with a smile and speaking warmly, "Dad, eat while it’s hot, this is specially made for you by Gu Chen."

Ji Guangsheng had heard from Gu Chen about cooking for him the day before, but he thought it was just polite talk and did not take it seriously.

He did not expect that Gu Chen would actually bring food to him today.

It seemed that this young man was quite reliable; Ji Guangsheng nodded in satisfaction and said to Gu Chen, "Thanks for the trouble," as he took the spoon Ji Pianran offered.

Gu Chen smiled, "It’s no trouble at all."

The porridge was truly delicious and, paired with a bite of spinach, it whetted the appetite.

After eating a bit, Ji Guangsheng turned his attention back to Uncle Guang.

His tone was measured, but carried an indescribable authority.

"Go check, investigate everyone."

Uncle Guang nodded solemnly.

"Of course, Mr. Ji, rest assured, I will find this person!"

"You have half a day."

After saying this, Ji Guangsheng took another sip of porridge.

Smooth and refreshing, it was indeed nice.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Guang’s expression immediately turned grim, "Mr. Ji, this..."

Mr. Ji had tasked him with tracking down the person who passed on the message.

But there were so many people working for the Ji Family.

With only half a day to find out who the mole was, the deadline was tight.

In half a day, he wouldn’t even have met everyone, how could he possibly find the culprit?

Ji Guangsheng glanced at him and, without responding, simply said, "Alright, go now."

Clearly, he did not want to discuss it further; Uncle Guang only had half a day to find the person!

Seeing Ji Guangsheng’s expression grow colder, Uncle Guang instinctively shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.

He nodded respectfully, "I’ll do my best!"

After saying this, he bowed his head and walked towards the door of the hospital room.

Seeing Uncle Guang was about to leave, Gu Chen quickly called out to him.

"Uncle Guang, wait a moment, I have ginseng in the car, I’ll need to trouble you to take care of it."

As the old saying goes, "Take people’s money, solve their problems."

Even blood brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

Let alone a father-in-law, the last thing I want is for others to gossip.

Today, I brought over all the remaining ginseng. Uncle Guang is the butler of the Ji Family, and all I need to do is hand the ginseng over to Uncle Guang to consider the matter settled.

As for what the Ji Family wants to do with the ginseng, that’s none of my business.

Upon hearing about the ginseng, Uncle Guang nodded, "Good."

After that, the two men walked out toward the entrance of the sickroom.

Right now, Uncle Guang’s head was filled with the matter of finding the traitor.

Mr. Ji has given him far too little time.

It’s simply impossible for him to find the person in such a short amount of time.

He really was at his wit’s end.

You have to understand that when Ji Guangsheng gets angry, it’s not something the average person can handle.

Even if he doesn’t get angry, just a cold stare from him is enough to scare me for a whole day.

Seeing him downcast, Gu Chen was somewhat curious. "Did Dad give you a tough problem to solve?"

Uncle Guang nodded, his face showing deep resentment.

"Isn’t that the truth? A traitor has emerged in the household, and the master expects me to root out the person in half a day. Tell me, with so many people in the Ji Family, I haven’t even met all of them in half a day, how am I supposed to find the traitor?"

Gu Chen nodded, "Oh."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered the chef’s demeanor when he opened the door last night.

And how he wore his clothes with the buttons done up wrong, looking flustered as he regarded Uncle Guang.

"I feel like the chef from yesterday seemed off, you could start with him," Gu Chen suggested with his head down, uncertainly.

At this, Uncle Guang became curious.

"Do you have evidence?"

Gu Chen, who had no idea what had happened, was suddenly pointing out that there was something wrong with the chef, which really surprised Uncle Guang.

But neither of them stopped moving forward.

They continued heading for the hospital entrance.

Glancing up ahead, Gu Chen spoke casually.

"I saw him yesterday when I was depositing money. However, it seemed like he was troubled by something. He turned around halfway and went back. Moreover, when we were there, he looked really nervous, as if he was scared of being discovered."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Guang paused, his footsteps halting as he squinted his eyes in thought.

Come to think of it, it did seem like what Gu Chen was saying was true.

I was so focused on eating yesterday that I completely overlooked Guang Zhuo, and now that I think about it, the more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems!

He looked at Gu Chen with admiration in his eyes.

Smart kid!

Not only is he good at business, but his observation skills are also so strong.

Something I hadn’t even noticed had been picked up by him!

He really is a force to be reckoned with!

"Are you sure it’s him?" Uncle Guang asked.

Gu Chen shook his head, "I’m not certain, but it feels like it. After all, I don’t know what exactly happened."

Seeing that Uncle Guang was still standing there in a daze, he reached out and tugged on his arm.

Urging him, "Come on, let’s go. After we pick up the ginseng, I still have deliveries to make!"

He really did have a lot on his plate today.

Now, Uncle Guang felt nothing but admiration for Gu Chen, this impressive youngster.

The two arrived at Gu Chen’s van, and he handed over the bag containing the ginseng to Uncle Guang.

"Alright, I’ll head off to make deliveries now."

Uncle Guang nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I’ll make a trip to the kitchen. If it really is him, you’ve solved a big problem for me!"
