Chapter 1132: Old Illness (3)
EndlessFantasy Translation
The strong coppery smell of blood assailed her nostrils!
Before Gu Lingsha could react, Gu Qiwu could feel a piercing pain in his belly then came a dark whirlpool as his vision blacked out before he fell limp and fell flat forward!
“Father! Father! Are you okay, Father!?”
When she heard him fall hard to the ground, Gu Lingsha then panicked and shouted, s. She ran over frantically and helped Gu Qiwu up. Then, she realized that Gu Qiwu had one hand over his mouth while the other held his belly. There were already dark red seeping through his fingers from the hand over his mouth.
When Gu Lingsha saw that, her expression changed and she quickly cried out, “Father, Father, are you okay? What’s wrong? Someone, come quickly!”
At the sound of Gu Lingsha’s panicked voice, Ah Yong, who stood guard at the door, immediately rushed in. When he saw the situation, he was shocked and hurried over to his boss!
“Boss! Boss! Are you okay?”
Gu Qiwu could still stay semi-conscious, but his stern face was as pale as a sheet. He tried to get up as he gritted his teeth and pushed Gu Lingsha away. He did his best but could not muster the strength. As he could barely stand the piercing pain from his stomach, he fell limp again and lost consciousness!
Then, Ah Yong carried him up in a panic before rushing out!
Gu Lingsha followed behind him helter-skelter.
…
Gu Qiwu was sent straight to Hospital T while this news immediately reached Mu Yuchen.
In the corridor by the stairs at the South River Bridge, Mu Yuchen was inspecting the progress of the project with VP Zhang Lan. He had just come up from the work site when Li Si walked over quickly and whispered into his ear, “Master, big news! Gu Qiwu just vomited blood and was sent to the emergency ward. He’s still not out yet!”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen stopped what he was doing and frowned at Li Si before he said, “What happened?”
Li Si shook his head as he responded softly, “We don’t know what happened for now, but I heard that Gu Qiwu’s always been a little sick. He has bad gastric problems. It’s probably an old illness flaring up. When the hospital has more news, I’ll inform you right away, Master!”
Mu Yuchen nodded gently. “Don’t let this get out first. Let’s observe the situation first.”
Before Mu Yuchen continued to open the blueprint in his hand and study the worksite before him, he turned to Zhang Lan. “Make a copy of this blueprint and send it to CEO Xi of Fuhua.” Then, he handed the blueprint over.
“Got it, Chairman Mu!”
Zhang Lan reached out to take it and bowed slightly. “Chairman Mu, the musical fountain is already halfway done and will probably take form at the end of next year or the year after that. The work progress is smooth. Thankfully, we have Master Qi’s prompt supervision. He often comes over to inspect it personally.”
“See if he needs any more help and do your best to provide it. Also, next week, the people from the government might be coming over for inspection, so you all have to be prepared to receive them.”
“Yes, Chairman Mu, understood!” Zhang Lan responded humbly, then looked up at the sky. She realized that it was noon now. While she was hesitating about whether to have lunch with Mu Yuchen, he had already walked ahead.
“It’s noon, VP Zhang. Let’s have lunch together,” he invited smoothly.
Zhang Lan then smiled and nodded. “Alright, it’s great to have the honor to have lunch with you, Chairman Mu.”
“You’ve been back to the headquarters for a while now, but I haven’t had a meal with you, VP Zhang.”
“Chairman Mu, you’re busy with many affairs every day, so we haven’t had the chance. Coincidentally, we can chat about the South River Project too.”
…
After lunch, Mu Yuchen went straight to the provincial hall building.
Indeed, he was going to look for Mu Tangchuan. When he was at lunch, he received a call from Mu Tangchuan to go over.
By the time he reached Mu Tangchuan’s office, Mu Tangchuan was returning from lunch as well, but what surprised him was that Zhuang Shurong was there too. She was by Mu Tangchuan’s side, and the husband and wife walked back to the office side by side.
“Father, Mother.” Mu Yuchen’s handsome face revealed tenderness as he called out to the two of them.
“Chen Er!” Zhuang Shurong looked at Mu Yuchen lovingly too.
“You’re here. Come in!” Mu Tangchuan smiled and took out his key to the office door. It was not time to get back to work yet, so it was quiet all around.
Mu Yuchen nodded, then followed them in.
Zhuang Shurong took out the tea leaves from Mu Tangchuan’s tea cupboard habitually and steeped some tea for the father and son.
“Mother, why are you here too?” Mu Yuchen sat down on the sofa and asked, puzzled.
“I happened to be nearby. Your father sent me a message, so we had lunch together. Things are more relaxed these few days, so I came over to visit, and I still need to get some things from his colleague later. I’ve been running about here quite a few times, so I always come to visit your father,” Zhuang Shurong said as she steeped the tea.
Mu Tangchuan took off his tie and sat across Mu Yuchen. “Play a game of chess with me. We’ll talk as we play,” he said while he began to set up the game. It was the game of Go.
“Father, I’m surprised that you’re in such a mood.” Mu Yuchen did not reject him and picked up a black piece to position it. “Father, you called me over about Aunt’s matter, didn’t you?” He did not have to guess.

“That’s right. Your wife, Xiaye’s been running to both houses these past two days. Your grandfather’s much better now, but about your aunt and Gu Qiwu…I’m still worried. I don’t want to ask too much about what you’re planning on doing, but I hope you won’t make things too difficult for Lingshi. I know that you’re trying to investigate the accident from six years ago again.”
“The accident from six years ago? Haven’t we checked a few times and determined that it was an accident?” Zhuang Shurong piped up. Because it involved Mu Yuchen and Mu Lingtian, Zhuang Shurong had paid a lot of attention to this case too, so she knew about the case details very well. They had checked it over many times and the results were always the same. It had indeed been an accident!
“Mother, my instincts tell me that things aren’t that simple, so I’d like to investigate it once more. Of course, I don’t want the police to be involved. I’ll let some trusted people take over. I’m just hoping that when the time comes, both of you can be accommodating.”
“For your mother and I, as long as it’s not an issue with principles, we’ll do our best to help,” Mu Tangchuan quickly answered softly while he placed the white chess piece in his hand on the board.
