Chapter 718: The Children Are Not Simple

Seeing this, Feng Jue also said, “Dad, I can help too.”

Gu Zhaoming nodded, thinking of Feng Jue’s impressive hacking skills. His gaze deepened. These children of his were not as simple as they seemed.

Gu Pei raised his hand enthusiastically. “Dad, don’t forget about me! I can help too!”

Gu Zhaoming fell silent and looked away.

That didn’t count.

“Brother, what can you do?” Gu Yang asked, puzzled by Gu Pei’s eagerness to join in.

Gu Pei raised his chin proudly. “I can put on a sack and beat someone up!”

Gu Yang’s lips twitched. Did her brother forget he was the weakest among them?

As for whether to destroy the Gu family or seize power to revive it, Gu Zhaoming already had an answer.

The Gu family was not only the family he hated, but also the family his grandfather had dedicated most of his life to building.

He had been personally nurtured by his grandfather. While he could abandon the Gu family and let it fend for itself, he could not bring himself to destroy it.

Moreover, since his two idiotic brothers cared so much about the position of the Gu family’s successor, he felt compelled to take what they valued most.

Having made up his mind, Gu Zhaoming began contacting the elders who had previously tried to persuade him to return to the family.

When the Council of Elders decided to punish him according to the family law, not all the elders agreed. Some believed in him, but ultimately, they decided that the minority would obey the majority.

These elders had continued to persuade him to return to the Gu family and not act on impulse.

However, after more than ten years of seeing him indifferent and living his own life in Jin City, they eventually stopped their efforts—perhaps out of disappointment or a desire not to disturb his life further.

However, these elders were still in his contact list.

If he wanted to seize power, he couldn’t do it from the outside alone. He needed the support of the upper echelons of the family.

A week later, with Gu Jin’s intervention, Ruan Xueling was able to leave her bed.

Although Gu Yang and the others often visited her in the hospital, she spent most of her time alone in the VIP ward, growing increasingly bored.

Now that she had Gu Jin’s permission to leave the bed, she couldn’t wait to go out and get some fresh air.

The military hospital had a beautifully green environment. It was early summer, and the lush vegetation, along with the sound of cicadas, made it a peaceful place.

In the evening, Gu Yang helped Ruan Xueling take a walk on the forest path below the hospital.

“Mom, are you tired? Do you want to go back and rest?”

“I’m not tired. Yangyang, let’s walk a bit more.”

After lying in bed and staring at the ceiling for a week, Ruan Xueling relished the chance to be outside and didn’t want to return to the ward just yet.

During this time, Gu Jin and Feng Jue were busy, so Gu Yang spent her days at the hospital keeping Ruan Xueling company.

As for Gu Pei, it wasn’t summer vacation yet. He still had classes and could only visit the hospital on weekends.

As Gu Yang and Ruan Xueling walked, a group of nurses hurried by with anxious expressions, looking around and complaining.

“The patient in the VIP ward of the Surgery Department ran out again? This is the third time, right?”

“Aren’t the doors locked? How did she slip out?”

“Stop talking. Hurry up and replace her. If anything happens to that person, our entire hospital will be in trouble.”

When the nurses saw Gu Yang and Ruan Xueling, they paused and asked, “Have you seen a beautiful woman in a hospital gown?”

Ruan Xueling was stunned. She hesitantly raised her wrist, revealing her hospital wristband. “Are you talking about me?”

Being in the VIP ward of the Surgery Department and wearing a hospital gown, she seemed to fit the description.

The nurse also looked momentarily confused, then shook her head. “No. She’s from Ward One, next door to you.”

Ruan Xueling replied, “Oh, I haven’t seen her.”
