Gu Jin nodded lightly. “The position of the hematoma is dangerous. The surgery needs to be extremely careful. There can’t be any mistakes.”
She had always thought that as long as it wasn’t her sister on the operating table, her heart would remain calm. However, when she saw Ruan Xueling’s pale face, she couldn’t help but recall the scene of Ruan Xueling pushing her away without hesitation. It was difficult for her to stay composed.
Gu Yang understood that at this moment, her sister had truly accepted Ruan Xueling as her mother from the bottom of her heart. Her sister had a cold personality, not because she was naturally aloof, but because it was hard for ordinary people to reach her heart.
SS-Grade Mutants were notoriously difficult to hypnotize, but Gu Jin let her guard down when facing Gu Yang. Gu Yang hypnotized Gu Jin, making her forget Ruan Xueling temporarily and view her as an ordinary patient in need of surgery.
With this, Gu Jin and Ji Linbai entered the operating theater to operate on Ruan Xueling.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhaoming and Gu Pei sat on the bench in the corridor. After being on edge all afternoon, they could finally relax. Both took out their phones to check their messages.
From the moment the accident happened until now, it had been trending online, with all kinds of guesses and discussions circulating. To attract attention, many media outlets even fabricated malicious speculations. Some claimed that Ruan Xueling had lost too much blood and died after being taken to the hospital.
Relatives, friends, and higher-ups at the Gu Group were also very anxious, calling and messaging to inquire about the situation. However, Gu Zhaoming, worried and uncertain himself, was irritated by the news and naturally ignored it.
When he noticed several missed calls from Old Master Ruan, Gu Zhaoming immediately called back.
The call was picked up quickly, but it was Ruan Chu’s voice on the other end. “Uncle, it’s Ruan Chu.”
Gu Zhaoming’s heart sank. “Where’s your grandpa?”
“Grandpa is in the hospital now,” Ruan Chu replied, clearly anxious and suppressing her anger. “The media’s rumors about Aunt dying in the car accident were too much for him. When Grandpa saw the trending searches, he couldn’t take the shock and fainted.”
“Fortunately, the butler got him to the hospital in time. I’m here taking care of Grandpa now.”
Gu Zhaoming’s eyes darkened with anger as he hurriedly asked, “How is your grandpa now?”
“Grandpa is stable but still hasn’t woken up from the shock,” Ruan Chu replied, her voice tinged with anxiety. “How’s Aunt’s situation?”
“She’s undergoing surgery, but her life isn’t in danger.”
After hanging up, Gu Zhaoming received several calls from the higher-ups at Gu Group and Xueyao Jewelry. Ruan Xueling, as the wife of the Gu Group chairman and the president of Xueyao, had an accident that would significantly impact the company.
Gu Zhaoming glanced at the messages, which were all expressions of concern and condolences. Lacking time to reply individually, he posted an announcement in the company’s upper echelons group chat.
He then checked the trending topics, which were overwhelmingly about their family:
#The wife of the chairman of the Gu Group died in a car accident#
#The Gu Family’s two daughters’ repeated college entrance examination#
#The Old Master of the Ruan Corporation is in a coma and in critical condition in the hospital#
Each headline intensified his frustration and worry.
“F*ck!”
Gu Pei, eyes bloodshot with anger, slammed his fist against the wall. “Do these media outlets have any conscience? They’re spreading f*cking rumors!”
Gu Zhaoming gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles whitening as the veins on the back of his hand stood out. His eyes were filled with a cold ruthlessness.
He wasn’t in a hurry to clarify the situation publicly. Instead, he called the Gu Group’s legal department. “Gather the evidence. Don’t let anyone who spreads rumors off.”
Gu Yang was equally furious. “Dad, I’ve contacted Lawyer Qiu. He’s willing to take on this case.”
Gu Yang had Qiu Baizhou’s contact information and, before she could finish explaining the situation, he had already agreed to help.
