Chapter 449: Gu Wenfeng's Request
Chapter 449: Gu Wenfeng's Request
Nie Zhan was also delighted to hear that Gu Wenfeng had woken up. He knew that to Lu Jiaxin, Gu Wenfeng was not just a bodyguard but family. If anything had happened to him, she would have blamed herself for life. Now that he was out of danger, even if he was left with a disability, Jiaxin would take care of him for the rest of his life.
Wang Yadan entered to give Nie Zhan a work update and noticed his relaxed expression. She asked, "Boss, is Miss Lu alright now?"
Nie Zhan smiled and replied, "Yes, she's been discharged from the hospital. You can go visit her and keep her company if you have time."
Previously, while Jiaxin was worried about Gu Wenfeng, she had sunk into sadness and self-blame, so he took the initiative to turn away all guests. Now that Gu Wenfeng was no longer in mortal danger, Jiaxin was also in the mood to receive guests.
Wang Yadan breathed a sigh of relief. These past two days, Nie Zhan had returned to the company with a perpetually stern expression, casting a heavy atmosphere over the entire workplace, causing everyone to tiptoe around. Now that Miss Lu was fine, the alert could be called off.
After handling the important matters at hand, Nie Zhan made his way to the Lu residence. Upon arriving, he heard Jiaxin in the garden and quickly made his way over.
Seeing her with a basket full of freshly cut flowers, he asked, "You should let the servants do this. You just got discharged from the hospital, and your body is still weak."
Jiaxin insisted that she was fine and explained that she intended to send these flowers to Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin. Being cooped up in the hospital room all day could get dull, and seeing fresh, beautiful flowers would surely lift their spirits. With improved moods, their recovery would be faster, and they could be discharged sooner.
Nie Zhan pretended to be jealous, "Jiaxin, you've never sent me flowers before!"
Jiaxin couldn't help but laugh, "And here you are, jealous of a patient? Alright, I'll cut a basket of flowers early tomorrow morning and have someone send them to your office."
Today was a special case, as flowers were usually picked early in the morning. Once the sun was out, the flowers would start to look a bit wilted.
"Okay."
Back in the living room, Jiaxin asked, "Su Ge told me today that the two kidnappers have confessed. Someone offered them a million dollars to kidnap me and throw me into the sea to feed the fish. But the leader of the kidnappers knew that my family is worth several hundred million, so he got greedy and planned to ask you for another ransom after kidnapping me."
Nie Zhan knew what she was about to ask, "The one who contacted them was a man called Vulture. We found him, but he was already dead. However, rest assured, I will dig out the mastermind behind this and make him pay with his life."
Who gave Vulture the money? If it was a transfer, they could trace the records. If it was cash, they would investigate everyone he was in contact with until they found the culprit. No matter who it was, Nie Zhan intended to make them pay with their life.
Jiaxin said, "Azhan, I've been in Hong Kong for three years, and the only people I've had grudges with are He Zhuliang and Guo Kaibai. Could this have something to do with them?"
Nie Zhan replied, "He Zhuliang had his legs broken at the end of last year. The He family has gone bankrupt, and He Mingzhu ran away. He doesn't even have the money to treat his legs and is now disabled. Such a person has no ability to take revenge on you. As for Guo Kaibai, I've already sent people to investigate him."
Jiaxin suspected it was Guo Kaibai, "He seduced another man's wife, made him a cuckold, and then schemed to ruin him and send him to jail. Although we made changes to the movie, given his nature, he probably still resents me because of the film and decided to take it out on me."
"Such a person is deep and ruthless, and even if he is behind this, we won't be able to find any evidence. Azhan, going through legal procedures won't be enough to punish him."
"If we find out that he is indeed involved, I won't let him off."
A flash of determination appeared in Jiaxin's eyes as she said, "Azhan, if this has anything to do with him, I want him dead."
He had to be crushed once and for all, or there would be endless trouble in the future.
Nie Zhan hugged her and gently reassured her, "Don't worry, I won't let off anyone involved in this matter.
"Okay."
Two days later, after Lu Jiaxin's body had recovered, she went to the hospital to visit Gu Wenfeng. He was doing well and could already sit up. However, due to his injured hands and feet, he still needed to rest and refrain from exerting himself.
Gu Wenfeng said, "Jiaxin, I asked the doctor this morning, and he said I'm recovering very well. At most, I'll be discharged in a week, and then I'll return to Si Jiucheng."
Lu Jiaxin looked at him helplessly and said, "Before coming to see you, I went to see your attending physician. Your recovery is indeed impressive, but you'll need to rest for at least a month before you can be discharged and continue your convalescence at home."
Given his condition, he wouldn't be able to withstand a bumpy journey back to Si Jiucheng, so he should forget about returning anytime soon. However, Lu Jiaxin intended to make arrangements to bring his sister-in-law and two children over as soon as she returned.
The two children were still in kindergarten, so staying here for a few months wouldn't be a problem. As for Gu Wenfeng's wife, since she wasn't working and was taking care of the children at home, it wouldn't be an issue for her to come over as well.
Gu Wenfeng shook his head and said, "Now that medical resources are scarce, if I occupy a bed for so long, others won't have a place to stay. Jiaxin, I can't be so selfish."
Lu Jiaxin paused for a moment before saying, "Big Brother Gu, this is the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, a private hospital. The citizens of Hong Kong won't come here for treatment. So, your concern about occupying medical resources doesn't apply here."
Gu Wenfeng knew that the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital was a place for the wealthy to seek medical treatment. It was said that even a minor cold could cost several thousand dollars. "In that case, I really can't stay here. With so much money, I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully."
Lu Jiaxin disagreed.
Miao Na interjected, "Brother Feng, just stay in the hospital and focus on recovering. You don't know what happened that day. The boss was so worried that she waited outside the operating room. Even after your successful surgery, she refused to go home and insisted on waiting for you to wake up. Mr. Nie had to force her to leave, but soon after she returned, she fell ill with a high fever. Once her fever broke and the doctor said she could go home, she still refused and wanted to stay here until you woke up."
Gu Wenfeng understood Miao Na's implication. If he insisted on being discharged in a week, Lu Jiaxin would never be at ease. He sighed and said, "I'll do as you say."
Seeing his compromise, Lu Jiaxin was delighted. She then discussed the matter of rewards with him. "This time, all of you risked your lives to save me. Miao Na and Zong Dagou will each receive a reward of one million, Wang Lin will get one million five, and you'll get two million. Big Brother Gu, do you want this money transferred to your account, or do you want He Bin to buy properties for you in Si Jiucheng?"
Gu Wenfeng indicated that protecting her was his responsibility and he didn't want any reward.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Everyone else is getting a reward. How can you be left out? If word gets out that I'm being stingy, who will want to do business with me in the future?"
Knowing that he couldn't refuse any longer, Gu Wenfeng said, "Boss, could you use those two million to purchase medical equipment instead? With my injuries, I probably wouldn't have survived in the mainland. But here, not only did I survive, but my hands and feet are also intact."
Lu Jiaxin fell silent for a moment before saying, "Big Brother Gu, your left leg won't be as strong as before."
Gu Wenfeng knew that, but considering the number of wooden stakes he had been impaled with, it was already fortunate that only his left leg was affected. "I know, it's alright. I still have my right leg to rely on."
When he was facing death, his only thoughts were to take down the kidnappers and protect Lu Jiaxin. Before losing consciousness, he had also regretted not calling his wife more often. Now that he had survived, he no longer had that regret.
My neck hurts so much; I'll only do two chapters today. I need to go for a massage tomorrow.
