Even though Yiyi said so, Gu Tingyu still looked at her medical report. Seeing that she indeed only had a fractured rib, he was slightly relieved and began to inquire about the details of what happened.
Yiyi recounted the events once more, and finally said, "My master and the others have already started investigating, and I believe there will be results soon."
"I will also look into this matter thoroughly to find out exactly who is targeting Aunt Ding repeatedly."
The first two times Ding Yuejun was in danger, they didn’t think much of it and truly believed that she was simply implicated. But now it seems that things are definitely not that simple, and Gu Tingyu has a faint suspicion about who might be involved, but he still needs to wait for the investigation results before drawing a conclusion.
Seeing Gu Tingyu’s insistence, Yiyi didn’t say much more.
Her mother will also be Gu Tingyu’s mother in the future, so it’s only right that he helps out.
Gu Tingyu had many things he wanted to say, but he didn’t want Yiyi to get tired. After saying a couple of sentences, he urged Yiyi to rest.
Yet Yiyi started talking about his matters.
"You’re not supposed to be back for a few more days; how did you return so quickly? Did you take leave? Really, I’m fine here, you don’t need to worry."
Seeing Yiyi concerned for him, Gu Tingyu spoke with gentle eyes, "Don’t worry, I didn’t take leave to come back; I completed the task ahead of time, so I could return. Originally, I thought I could prepare more for the engagement, but as soon as I came back, I heard you were hospitalized."
Towards the end, Gu Tingyu touched Yiyi’s hair and said, "Don’t worry about the engagement. We’ll choose another date later. What matters most now is for you to take good care of your health." Though postponing the engagement was slightly disappointing, Yiyi is the most important.
Seeing that Gu Tingyu had considered everything, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but smile and said, "Tingyu, make sure to discuss it well with your family when the time comes. As for choosing another date, let’s pick the last date that Grandma brought up last time. By that time, Yiyi’s injuries will definitely be healed."
"Okay, Aunt Ding, then we’ll reschedule for that time."
He remembers those dates very well. The last date is a day before the Dragon Boat Festival. Considering the weather will be warmer then, it’s actually more suitable for an engagement, and it will be easier for everyone to travel.
Seeing Gu Tingyu being so considerate of Yiyi, Ding Yuejun felt exceedingly happy. Having such a son-in-law is truly comforting.
"Tingyu, it’s getting late. You should go back now. You just returned today; go and rest well."
Gu Tingyu shook his head and said, "Aunt Ding, you should go back and rest. I’ll stay tonight to take care of Yiyi."
Ding Yuejun hurriedly said, "Tingyu, let me take care of Yiyi. Isn’t it true you haven’t been home yet? Please, go back soon, your parents must also miss you."
Gu Tingyu was somewhat persistent, as he genuinely worried about Yiyi.
Seeing Gu Tingyu like this, Yiyi couldn’t help but look at her mother and said, "Mom, let Gu Tingyu stay tonight. With him here, you can relax a bit." She wasn’t comfortable with her mother leaving, so she preferred her mother to have a good sleep here. If anything happens, she can call Gu Tingyu.
Seeing Gu Tingyu insist, Ding Yuejun didn’t say anything more.
With Gu Tingyu’s care, Ding Yuejun could afford to spend more time looking after Pei Wu. Thus, early the next morning, she went to Pei Wu’s ward. Surprisingly, Pei Wu woke up not long after she arrived.
"Xiao Wu, you finally woke up. How do you feel now?"
While speaking, she quickly pressed the bell.
Seeing Ding Yuejun in good shape in front of him, Pei Wu couldn’t help but take a breath of relief. However, at the moment, he felt weak all over and even struggled to lift his arms.
Ding Yuejun, noticing Pei Wu’s condition, quickly said, "Xiao Wu, you’ve been seriously injured; don’t move unnecessarily."
Upon hearing this, Pei Wu quietly lay still before speaking with difficulty, "Aunt Ding, are you hurt?"
"Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine without a scratch. You should focus on recovering and not worry about anything else."
Hearing this, Pei Wu finally felt reassured.
At that moment, the doctor came in and upon seeing Pei Wu awake, immediately stepped forward to examine him. Finally, he said to Ding Yuejun, "Ms. Ding, don’t worry. Although the patient is seriously injured, now that he’s awake, he can recover with proper care. However, he should only have liquid food for a while, so family members need to be mindful."
"Okay, thank you, doctor. We will pay attention."
After the doctor left, Ding Yuejun immediately smiled and looked at Pei Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, the doctor said you’re fine, so focus on recovery."
"Hmm..."
Pei Wu slightly nodded with a smile on his face, finally relieved that he hadn’t let down the Sect Leader and Young Master. As long as Aunt Ding is fine.
When Yiyi heard about Pei Wu waking up, she was also very relieved, and said to Gu Tingyu with a relaxed smile, "Luckily, Xiao Wu is okay, or else my mom might live with guilt forever."
Gu Tingyu felt somewhat upset.
"Yiyi, when you and Aunt Ding were in trouble, I wasn’t by your side, I..."
Before Gu Tingyu could finish, Yiyi stopped him.
"Tingyu, who could have predicted something like this? Besides, you have work; you can’t revolve around us all the time. In this matter, I also have my faults; I was too careless and never considered my mother’s safety. This time, if not for Xiao Wu supporting her there, my mom could have really..."
Towards the end, Yiyi still felt a bit of fear.
Meanwhile, Elder Qi hurriedly led Lao Liu to a familiar small clinic.
"Boss, check his injuries."
The boss was already familiar with Old Qi, and upon hearing him, directly felt Lao Liu’s pulse. Finally, he frowned and said, "This...what happened to him? He’s seriously injured. Thankfully his life is not in danger, but...as for his sensitivity in the future, it’s hard to say."
The boss was a grizzled old man familiar with Old Qi, so his words were straightforward, but his hands never stopped moving. He quickly administered some acupuncture to Lao Liu and finally said, "Some injuries I can treat, but for others, I advise you to go to the hospital for surgery; it’s much faster."
Upon hearing this, Lao Liu’s expression changed dramatically.
"Are you saying, once my injuries heal, my skills won’t return to what they were?"
The old man glanced at Lao Liu and said, "Isn’t that obvious? Unless...you can find some miraculous medicine." After putting away the needles, he looked at Old Qi and said, "I’ll prepare some medicine for him; take it and leave quickly."
Old Qi also looked troubled, but he still spoke to the boss, "Pick some good medicine. I still need to take him back, let’s avoid any accidents on the road."
"Alright."
After leaving once again with Lao Liu, they quietly returned to a secluded house in the countryside.
