Chapter 440: Chapter 441: Some Rejoice, Some Despair
He thought of Lingyue, the child who looked so much like his late wife, and immediately called for a helicopter, intending to fly to Jiang City.
At that time, there was no news from Lingyue. The old master was so anxious that he had an asthma attack. Thankfully, he was rushed to the hospital in time and saved.
For a while, the news that Xiang Jiechao was not Senior Xiang’s son was all the rage.
Although Xie Yunlin was not in Beijing, he was, after all, the future heir of the Xie family in Beijing. He got the news at the first instance.
Gu Junzhu nodded, “I suspect that’s very likely the case!”
Xie Yunlin clenched his fists again and said gloomily, “My aunt is pregnant. She’s having an IVF baby. She suffered a lot for this child.”
Xiang Bingzhi was in prison, unable to ever get out.
His aunt, who had gone through all kinds of hardships to conceive this child, did it to inherit the Xiang family fortune.
But now…
He laughed bitterly, sighed, and shook his head.
Now, not to mention inheriting the Xiang family, if Lingyue and Xiao Shu were kidnapped, and if it was indeed Xiang Jiechao who was behind it, the child would have a father who was about to be jailed even before it was born.
Gu Junzhu didn’t feel a bit of sympathy, he calmly said, “You reap what you sow. I’m only speculating now. I’m still searching for evidence. If it was indeed Xiang Jiechao who did this, I don’t care whose son he is, or whose uncle he is. If he dares to kidnap my son and my disciple, well…”
At his light sneer, Xie Yunlin felt his hair stand on end.
This elegant and noble man in front of him was only a bit colder, but Xie Yunlin felt like he was being suffocated by a mountain.
He sighed in silence.
If the person who kidnapped Xiao Shu and Lingyue was indeed Xiang Jiechao, he must either have gotten sick of living or his brain had gone wrong to mess with people around the Fifth Lord of Gu.
Eldest Xiang arrived shortly after.
As soon as he entered, he walked straight to Lingyue’s bed.
Lingyue was still unconscious.
His face was bandaged, but his left cheek, where the tattooed man had slapped him twice, was swollen.
“Beast! Beast!” Senior Master Xiang’s face turned white with anger, his hands trembling as he flipped off the blanket covering Lingyue.
Lingyue was not wearing anything. His body was wrapped in bandages.
Gu Junzhu handed his cellphone to Senior Master Xiang, “Uncle Xiang, you can have a clear look at this.”
On the phone was what Lingyue looked like before his wounds were treated.
His face was ripped open, his body was covered in bloody wounds.
Senior Master Xiang held his chest, gasping for breath.
“Senior Xiang!” His health care doctor rushed to support him and gave him some sprayed medication, shooting Gu Junzhu a glare.
Gu Junzhu put away his phone, curling his lips, “Uncle Xiang is Xiao Yue’s god grandfather, and possibly his real grandfather. He has a right to know what suffering Xiao Yue has been through.”
Senior Master Xiang stumbled.
The bodyguard behind him quickly brought over a chair and helped him sit down next to the sickbed.
Senior Master Xiang gripped Lingyue’s hand and, staring at Lingyue’s face that was nearly half-covered in bandages, he said tremblingly, “Is… is Xiao Yue really my grandson?”
“Most likely!” replied Gu Junzhu, “An hour ago, my subordinate discovered that Xiang Jiechao had secretly met with Xu Yanlai. Xu Yanlai, is the daughter of the woman who was in the same delivery room as Aunt Xiang all those years ago.”
Senior Master Xiang had no doubts left in his heart.
There was no mistake.
Lingyue was his biological grandson!
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.
Lingyue’s eyes were almost identical to his late wife’s.
And Xiang Jiechao looked nothing like them.
