Chapter 546 Elder Dang's Tragic Death Was a Blood Feud
Zi Yisheng smiled as he watched the mother and son three nestling and laughing on the hospital bed. Gu Ning, who was already in the ward, looked on with envy. He had never been hugged by his mother.
"Right, Mom, let me introduce you to some friends."
Ye Shenggē beckoned to Gu Ning. The two on the bed looked at Gu Ning with immediate vigilance, as if he were a bad guy come to snatch their mother.
"This child is Gu Ning. His father is hospitalized next door. He's been coming to chat with Mom when she's bored these past few days. He's a very good child."
"Gu Ning, these are Youyou and Mi'er that Auntie mentioned. You have companions at the hospital recently."
Under his mother's gaze, Xiao Youyou extended his hand like a little adult.
"Thank you for accompanying my mother. My name is Zi Younchun."
Xiao Mi'er, however, did not have such a good expression. In her understanding, children had never suddenly appeared beside her mother, and this one was here to snatch her mother.
But under her mother's encouragement, she reluctantly spoke.
"My name is Zi Mi'er, but you can't snatch my mother."
Ye Shenggē and Zi Yisheng both laughed. What was the little girl thinking about every day?
"Gu Ning isn't here to snatch Mommy; he's here to keep Mommy company when you're not around. You should thank him."
Gu Ning felt a little guilty, because in his heart, he had indeed fantasized that the pretty aunt was his mother.
"No need to thank me, I really like the pretty aunt."
Children's attention was easily diverted. As soon as Ye Shenggē asked about life outside, they forgot about the small conflict just now.
Gu Miao also had dinner alone for the first time in a long time. His son refused to come unless it was time to sleep for these past two days. Now with two more children, he had forgotten that he was alone.
That night, the family of four slept on a large bed that had been specially brought in, listening to the children's innocent chatter, their lives were so happy.
The next morning, Feng Zhanhè rushed to the hospital. The case at the pharmaceutical factory had been investigated, and Elder Fan was also arranged to receive treatment at the hospital. After all, this blow had greatly weakened his health.
As soon as Ye Shenggē received the news, she took the children to her master's ward. She had promised to personally escort her master out but had failed to do so.
"Grandmaster, we've come to see you!"
Elder Fan doted on children immensely. Even though he couldn't sit up, he pulled everyone onto the bed.
"Grandmaster, I haven't seen you in a long time."
Ye Shenggē went to the bathroom to wet a towel to wipe her master. He was still wearing the dirty clothes from that day, which was indeed a suffering for the old man.
"Why don't I see Grandmaster Dang? Why hasn't he come to see you?"
Elder Fan closed his eyes, tears sliding down the corners of his eyes.
"Grandmaster Dang is on a business trip out of town. He'll be back once he's done with his work."
Ye Shenggē sat beside him, wiping her master's hands and face, tears streaming down her heart.
"Shenggē, I want to know..."
Elder Fan was extremely anxious but held back when he saw the child beside him.
"I'm not sure either. Feng Zhanhè just met with Zi Yisheng. He should be able to give us an answer soon."
"Okay, tell me immediately. I can't close my eyes. As soon as I close my eyes, I see that scene. He was too miserable."
Ye Shenggē forced back her tears and held her master's withered hand.
"I know. I won't let anyone go unpunished."
The mastermind behind this incident must be Old Man Baili. This was no longer just a power struggle; it was a blood feud.
Feng Zhanhè produced a document, the report to be submitted. Every word on it had been painstakingly verified by evidence.
"We found out that a member of the pharmaceutical factory's laboratory was working overtime that night and left for about twenty minutes during that time.
After being apprehended, she confessed the truth. She was a student supported by Old Man Baili in his early years and did everything to repay his kindness."
"Did she say why she killed Elder Dang?"
"Because Elder Dang not only found the problem with the prescription but also discovered the major issue with this 'medicine rain.' He just hadn't had time to write a report.
She overheard the private conversation between the two masters and took action to destroy all the evidence Elder Dang had left.
She never expected Elder Dang to go to the laboratory late at night and catch her in the act."
Zi Yisheng had instructed the two masters to be temporarily detained at the pharmaceutical factory, but they were allowed to move freely between their dormitories and the laboratory. It was supposed to be time to return to their dormitories late at night.
"I have found Elder Dang's notes and handed them over to the laboratory, hoping they will be of some help."
Zi Yisheng nodded. The two masters had indeed suffered an unwarranted disaster this time.
"Did the other party reveal Old Man Baili's whereabouts?"
"Yes, because she has other family members, she confessed quite readily.
According to her confession, Old Man Baili supported quite a few children in his early years, and this time they were all mobilized.
She is also in contact with some of them, and some are even in important positions. I have already given the entire list to Ye Mu'en."
"Good, one leads to two, and eventually, they will all be caught."
Zi Yisheng sighed inwardly, realizing that despite his progress in the country, upon deeper investigation, it was still riddled with flaws.
"Ouyang, send the report to Elder Fan's ward. Tell him to rest assured and wait; this revenge will definitely be avenged."
"Yes."
After reading the report, Elder Fan fainted. His old companion of over a decade had met such a tragic end.
Ye Shenggē also sat by his side, weeping silently. She had still failed to keep her promise to take care of her master.
"Master, you must be well. I don't want you to have any more trouble."
"Child, I will persevere. I haven't found anyone to take over my skills yet. You are the only one I cannot let go of."
Ye Shenggē could no longer hold back and sobbed in her master's arms. Even now, they were still concerned about her. She hated her own frail body.
The two children were playing in the hospital garden with A Sen, while Gu Ning was accompanied by Gu Miao, keeping watch.
It was obvious that Gu Ning wanted to interact more with Youyou and the others, but he sensed that they were unwilling.
"Children need time to get along."
A Sen's sudden remark made Gu Miao pause, and then he understood the meaning of his words.
"This is something Gu Ning should work towards."
"Are you used to living on the island?"
"There's nothing to get used to. It's just a matter of putting in some effort every day."
"Don't you feel it's a pity? After all, your skills are not something an ordinary soldier should possess."
Gu Miao subconsciously touched his left leg, the regret on his face too obvious.
A Sen also noticed it and felt like slapping himself.
"I was a member of a special unit back then, and we carried out the most dangerous missions every day. Over time, my age and physical strength couldn't keep up.
I was the only survivor of the same mission, and I was fortunate enough to only injure one leg."
A Sen nodded. They had also retired from special forces and understood the camaraderie among teammates.
"You should be living a better life, but fate has been unkind."
