NOVEL NEXT Chapter 241: Out Of Danger
After a moment of thought, Gui Xiaoxu returned the handkerchief to Ke Ting and calmly said, "If their motive was information, then there is only one group bold enough to do this."
Hearing this, Ke Ting's eyes flickered with realization. "Boss, are you talking about the people from the second and third branches?"
Gui Xiaoxu nodded, then glanced at the guard.
Realizing they were about to discuss matters he shouldn't hear, the guard said, "Boss, I need to return to guard the gate. I will take my leave first."
"Mhm. Go and claim your reward after your shift," Gui Xiaoxu replied calmly.
"Thank you, Boss!"
After the man left, Gui Xiaoxu said, "For decades, the people from the second and third branches have always tried to usurp the power of my first branch. So, Yong Yan's injuries must be connected to them."
Listening to what he said, Ke Ting pondered for a moment and then asked, "Boss, should we teach them a lesson?"
Gui Xiaoxu thought for a second and replied, "Leave them a breath. Don't kill them for now. I still need to find the mastermind behind them."
"Got it."
Receiving the order, Ke Ting took out his phone and dialed a number. A few seconds later, the call connected.
Before he could speak, Zhe Xi's voice came through the speaker. "How is Yong Yan's condition?"
Staring at the closed surgery room door, Ke Ting replied in a heavy tone, "Not sure yet. The medical team is still working to save him."
Hearing this, Zhe Xi's voice turned cold as he asked, "What are the Boss's instructions?"
"Give those people from the second and third branches a lesson. Don't kill them. Just leave them a breath," Ke Ting replied through gritted teeth.
"Got it."
After Zhe Xi ended the call, Ke Ting turned to look at Gui Xiaoxu and saw him deep in thought.
A few moments later, Gui Xiaoxu asked, "Ke Ting, is there any news about that thing?"
Ke Ting shook his head and reported, "Not yet. We tracked the trail to Fu Nan Province, but it suddenly disappeared. Without a clue, we can't continue the search."
Frowning slightly, Gui Xiaoxu pondered and asked, "Where is Bai Hanyun living now?"
"In Fu Cheng Town." The moment he said that, Ke Ting's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Boss, Fu Cheng Town is in Fu Nan Province. Are you suspecting Miss Bai has something to do with that thing?"
Gui Xiaoxu nodded. "I felt the familiar aura of that thing from Bai Hanyun the first time we crossed paths at the Gu Bao Auction House. But the second time I met her at the Bai Group's banquet, I couldn't sense any aura from her."
Scratching his head, Ke Ting asked in doubt, "Could it be… She doesn't have any connection with that thing?"
"That's unlikely." Gui Xiaoxu touched the jade pendant hanging from his neck and added, "From our investigation, Bai Hanyun possessed a lot of antiques. Except for those she sold to the Yu Group, I believe she still has many in her possession."
"Based on the Bai family's power, even when the old Chairman Bai was still alive, they wouldn't have been able to collect so many antiques. Moreover, without drawing the government's attention."
Hearing this, Ke Ting lowered his voice and asked, "Boss, do you mean that Miss Bai found out the secret of that thing?"
Gui Xiaoxu clenched the jade pendant and nodded. "Bai Hanyun… she must be the destined one who can save my Gui Clan from destruction."
Ke Ting's eyes lit up at his words, and he asked, "Boss, then do you want to bring her here and let her try to deal with that problem?"
Gui Xiaoxu pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "No rush. I need to confirm our suspicion first before telling her about that matter."
Knowing that the secret of the Gui Clan couldn't be known by outsiders, Ke Ting nodded. "Understood. I will have our men keep watch and protect Miss Bai from the shadows."
Just as his words fell, the surgery room door opened.
Seeing the surgeons leading the team while the nurses pushed a bed with Yong Yan lying on it, Gui Xiaoxu stepped forward and asked, "How is Yong Yan's condition?"
The chief surgeon pulled down his mask and replied, "The surgery was successful, but we still need to monitor the patient's condition for a few days. For now, he is out of danger and will be transferred to the ward for further observation."
Hearing that Yong Yan was not in danger, Gui Xiaoxu and Ke Ting let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the chief surgeon, Gui Xiaoxu said, "Then I will leave him in your hands. Doctor Ji, please take care of him."
Doctor Ji nodded. "Don't worry, CEO Gui. My team will do our best to help Master Yong recover."
After saying that, Doctor Ji nodded to Ke Ting and then left with the surgeons and nurses.
Watching them push Yong Yan toward the inpatient area, Gui Xiaoxu ordered, "Ke Ting, arrange a team of bodyguards to guard Yong Yan."
"Yes, Boss."
As they left the surgery area, Gui Xiaoxu coldly said, "Now that Yong Yan is out of danger, it's time to settle accounts with those people."
While Gui Xiaoxu and Ke Ting went to find the people who were torturing Yong Yan, time flew by in the blink of an eye.
By the time the sky turned dark and filled with stars, Ke Ting walked along the long, carpeted corridor. Stopping in front of Gui Xiaoxu's bedroom, he knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
After waiting for a moment, Gui Xiaoxu's voice came from inside. "Come in."
With his permission, one of the guards opened the door for Ke Ting.
Walking into the spacious bedroom, Ke Ting saw Gui Xiaoxu sitting on the bed and said, "Boss, Xuan Wu has already arrested those people and is now waiting for you to make the decision."
