But it was not as though he could do anything about it.

The Gu family had made many enemies in the underworld over the years. Their enemies came from all walks, and Baby Chu was the Old Master's only son. He might even be the future successor of the Gu family, so he had to be more tolerant.

Otherwise, if something were to happen to Young Master, Gu Jinglian would be heartbroken. The boy did not come easy to him!

Superficially, Gu Jinglian did not seem to care about Baby Chu, but it was only because he was arrogant and a little perverse in nature, but in fact…

He treasured and doted on the boy.

Baby Chu had been staying in the Gu family residence for so many days, it was obvious that he was given anything he wanted!

Butler Fu was even worried about his master spoiling the child!

However, Baby Chu did have respect for Gu Jinglian.

This little fellow was a little mischievous and was not afraid of anything except Gu Jinglian.

Perhaps it was because Gu Jinglian had never been nice to him outwardly. He always wore a cold expression on his face. In Baby Chu's words, he was "like a ghost".

Butler Fu was tickled and laughed aloud when he heard this. Then, when he told Gu Jinglian what Baby Chu had said, the man's expression immediately darkened!

"He said that I'm like a ghost?!"

Gu Jinglian clenched his fists tightly, his expression terrifying.

Secretly, Butler Fu Found it funny, but he shrugged his shoulders and said, "This little fellow is really smart! He actually dares to make up such stories about Master."

"Don't you spoil the child!" Gu Jinglian said.

Butler Fu agreed superficially, but in his heart, he thought to himself, when it comes to pampering the boy, Old Master, you're the real culprit!

Gu Jinglian continued, "Is that woman awake?"

Uncle Fu naturally knew who Gu Jinglian was referring to and replied, "She hasn't woken up yet! The doctor said that her vital energy has been greatly damaged and her body has suffered too much. She needs a long time to recuperate."

"She has been unconscious for more than two months. Could it be that she will never wake up again?"

Butler Fu was silent for a long time. Then he said abruptly, "The doctor said that she had been shot four times, and had three stab wounds made by a knife, and her lungs were perforated. Among these injuries, two were critical. Her bodily functions have been severely damaged."

At this point, he added cautiously, "One of her injuries was sustained while protecting you."

Gu Jinglian suddenly recalled that there was once, an assassination attempt was made on him and Chu He took a bullet for him. Even though the injury itself was not critical, she was infected with pneumonia and almost died.

He remembered that time.

"Take me to her!"

Butler Fu nodded.

Gu Jinglian followed Butler Fu into the room where Chu He was recuperating. As she had not woken up for a long time, they had relocated her twice. However, the servants saw to it that she was taken good care of. Even though she had not woken up, she was in clean clothes and even her nails were neatly trimmed.

Chu He was lying on the bed quietly with no signs of life on her pale face. If it weren't for her heartbeat, he wouldn't have thought that she was alive.

After two months of recuperation, she had obviously lost a lot of weight.

She was so thin that one could easily grip around her wrist.

Her palm-sized and oval face had become even thinner and sharper.

Contrasted against her black hair, her face seemed exceedingly pale.

Gu Jinglian walked to the side of the bed and stopped. He looked at her silently and frowned slightly.

"Why is she so thin?"

This person looked light as a feather, as if she would turn into a wisp of smoke in the next second and dissipate any moment.
