Chapter 386 - 386: He Was Admitted To Hospital
Uncle Yang found himself at a loss, his mind spinning in confusion. He had been about to persuade Gong Zhan, but Gu Zi’s relentless words had thrown him off balance. Now, he wanted to counsel Gu Zi, but he had no idea where to start. After all, he thought Gu Zi had made some valid points, and he even found her rather endearing.
Gong Zhan, on the other hand, was taken aback by the harsh words. A twitch tugged at the corner of his mouth. Both the Gong and Gu families were far from ordinary, with the Gong family even being exceptionally distinguished. Yet, Gu Zi had belittled them as if they were worthless, an affront he found utterly outrageous!
When had Gu Zi’s tongue become so venomous? He began to think that the countryside was indeed not a good place, as it seemed to turn everyone into shrewish women.
Gong Zhan deeply regretted his decision to come here. It was truly a misfortune. From the start, he shouldn’t have meddled in women’s affairs. The issues were trivial, but dealing with them was a massive headache! These women were too petty!
Seeing Gong Zhan fall silent, Gu Zi lost her patience to continue the confrontation. She bid Uncle Yang goodbye and turned to enter the house. However, Gong Zhan’s anger only grew. He had never been so harshly berated by a woman before, and he thought Gu Zi was utterly ungrateful!
Gong Zhan reached out and grabbed Gu Zits wrist, his voice cold as he warned, “The Gu family has already decided to repay the money. There’s no need to make such a fuss! Gu Zi, I think we should talk this over. I don’t want my visit to be pointless!”
Uncle Yang, seeing this, was about to dissuade Gong Zhan from resorting to physical force when a boy with a dark gaze rushed out.
Behind him followed a slightly shorter boy, who was carrying a little girl. The girl was holding some wild berries, her mouth stained purple from eating them. Purple juice dripped from the corner of her mouth, making her look as if she had been poisoned, which startled Uncle Yang.
“You can’t bully my mom! Let her go!” Su Bing stepped forward, trying to push away the man who was holding his mother. How dare he take advantage of his mother’s solitude to bully her! It was despicable! They should never have gone to pick wild berries, which had given this villain an opportunity.
Su Li put his sister down next to a large yellow dog and also rushed forward, grabbing the man’s leg and trying to pull him away. “Let go of my mom, or when my dad comes back, he’ll beat you into a pulp!”
Su Le was not to be outdone. Seeing her mother being bullied, she followed her brother as soon as he put her down. She brandished the branch with the purple berries as a weapon, ready to take on the bad man.
Uncle Yang was on the verge of a breakdown, torn between who to intervene with first – the young master or the children? In the ensuing chaos, no one noticed the emergence of another towering figure, only a chilling sensation creeping up their spines.
Following a loud cry from the little girl, Su Le, everyone turned to see Gong Zhan, who had been sternly pulling Gu Zi aside to clarify matters, now hurtling out of the Su family’s courtyard. He tumbled several times in the muddy ground ahead.
Then, another figure blurred into motion, lunging at him. The two men grappled in the mud, both towering and powerful, their movements professional and forceful. The scene was nothing short of heart-stopping.
Back in town, the Gu couple, who had been waiting for good news from Gong Zhan, instead received word that he had been admitted to the hospital. They hurried to the city hospital with bewildered expressions, accompanied by the Gong family.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Captain He and his team were already handling the situation. It was then that the Gu and Gong families learned that Gong Zhan had been bullying Gu Zi and his children at the entrance of the Su family’s residence. Su Shen, who had been returning home with meat, had witnessed the scene, leading to the fight between the two men that ended up in the hospital, even alerting the police station.
Captain He was also troubled. To be honest, both men were not ordinary. One was the son of Chief Gong, a major in the military, and a bona fide member of the elite.
The other was the darling of the military region, the apple of many military bigwigs’ eyes. Although he had retired, his status was not to be underestimated. The police station dared not rashly take them in for questioning, and could only call their parents, asking them to handle the matter themselves.
However, in Captain He’s view, Gong Zhan was undoubtedly at fault. What was he thinking, going to someone else’s doorstep to bully their wife and children, pulling and tugging at them? It was utterly disgraceful.
Not to mention Su Shen, even he, if faced with such a situation, would have given Gong Zhan a beating.. It was completely unacceptable and could potentially leave a psychological scar on the woman!
