Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 439
Chapter 439: Chapter 440: Heartache
Gu Junzhu drew her into his embrace, rubbing the back of her head gently, “Don’t worry, we’ll get him the best doctor. Even if there is a scar, it might not be very deep. Besides, what’s wrong with boys having some scars? Scars are the medals of men, don’t worry about such a small thing.”
Ye Xingbei shook her head tearfully without being able to speak.
She was not only heartbroken about Lingyue’s facial scar but also about the suffering he endured.
Such a small child, with tender skin, being torn apart by a belt, how painful would it be?
Although Xiao Shumiao was not injured, he passed out from tiredness and hunger due to the excessive shock and having been without food for a long time.
He held Lingyue’s hand tightly in his sleep, refusing to let go, so Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei had no choice but to place the two children in the same hospital bed.
Luckily, both children were small and thin, and the bed was more than enough for them.
Ye Xinglan, Ye Xingli, Xie Yunlin, and Xie Jinfei hurried over after hearing the news.
Seeing Xiao Shumiao, who occasionally sobbed even in his sleep, Ye Xingli was furious. He clenched his fists so tightly that they made a creaking sound. He asked Gu Junzhu, “Fifth brother, where are the ones who kidnapped Xiao Shumiao? I heard we caught two of them?”
He wanted to skin them alive!
Gu Junzhu glanced at him, “Instead of wasting time here, you’d better go after the mastermind and those who slipped through the net.”
The two culprits they’d captured – he had plenty of pent-up anger to vent on them. How could he possibly hand them over?
Ye Xingli turned around immediately and left: “I’m on it!”
He was going to give them a thrashing they wouldn’t forget!
Xie Yunlin comforted Ye Xingbei with a few words and walked over to Gu Junzhu. “Fifth Brother, I want to ask you something.”
Just as Gu Junzhu was about to respond, his phone rang.
He took out his phone to check the call and put it to his ear, “Uncle Xiang?”
Senior Master Xiang’s anxious voice sounded on the other end of the call, “Xiao Zhu, I’m in Jiang City now. Which hospital are you in?”
Gu Junzhu reported the name of the hospital and room number.
Senior Master Xiang asked, “How’s Xiao Yue? Is he okay?”
“He’s fine,” Gu Junzhu glanced at Lingyue: “Anyway, his life isn’t in danger. Let’s wait until you arrive to discuss further.”
He had instructed Gu Cheng to inform Eldest Xiang about Lingyue’s situation as soon as possible.
Although Senior Master Xiang already knew everything, he couldn’t help but ask again.
Gu Junzhu hung up the phone and looked at Xie Yunlin, “What is it?”
Xie Yunlin looked somewhat upset, “Is the kidnapping of Xiao Shu and Lingyue related to my Uncle?”
Xie Yunlin’s “Uncle” was Xie Yunlin’s Aunt Xie Meiqiang’s husband, Xiang Jiechao.
Gu Junzhu unconsciously toyed with his phone, gazing at Ye Xingbei by the hospital bed. He said casually, “Not sure yet, probably.”
Xie Yunlin clenched his fists tensely, “Is it true that Xiang Jiechao isn’t Grandpa Xiang’s biological son?”
Xiang Jiechao was no ordinary person.
Gu Junzhu’s men found it hard to control him.
Because of the missing Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao, Jiang City was turned upside down.
Even Beijing, thousands of miles away, was thrown into chaos.
Gu Junzhu’s subordinates clashed with the Xiang Family people.
Under Gu Junzhu’s assertive command, his subordinates forcibly took hair and blood samples from Xiang Jiechao and presented them to Senior Master Xiang along with Gu Junzhu’s suspicions.
During Senior Master Xiang’s bewilderment, they obtained his hair samples and sent them to the testing center.
The paternity test, even rushed, would only be available after a day.
But Senior Master Xiang, after hearing the explanation from Gu family’s men, almost believed it already.
