Chapter 862: A Million Times for You (224)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fan Shixin found her solution to be rather feasible and said, “Young Sir was rather worried about it too. Firstly, because you’re now in charge of the Gu Corporation, and secondly, because you can’t step foot inside R Nation. However, it does seem like a good solution for now.”

“Yes, I’ll feel much safer taking him there myself. I can’t trust anyone else to bring him there.”

If something were to happen to Gu Beicheng along the way, she would hold it against herself for the rest of her life.

“We can’t afford any delay, not even a single day. Go map out the route and make a mask of my face. I’ll head to Wei Ni Estate now.”

“Alright.”

She looked Mei Yangyang up.

She then explained the entire situation to Mei Yangyang, who was shocked out of her senses. “Sis, you’re still planning to return to that hellhole, R Nation?” Mei Yangyang asked in astonishment.

“I must make a trip there now. That’s why I came here to trouble you to cover me at the Gu Corporation for the time being. We are of similar build and stature, you should be able to pass off as me with a wig on. Shixin will lend you a hand.”

“That’s not an issue. My main concern is you. You must be very careful along the way, and you mustn’t commit any blunders at all. Everything will be fine as long as Pei Yi doesn’t discover you. But it’s so chaotic there...” said Mei Yangyang.

“Since I’ve decided to go there, I’ll naturally make all the necessary preparations. I really hope I won’t make a wasted trip this time. Everything will be worth it as long as he comes to.”

Mei Yangyang held her hand and said, “Sis, I really feel so exhausted for you. There are so many things that you have to tend to. I had a bad impression of Lin Mingxi ever since the boot camp we attended years ago. I only changed my opinion of her after hearing you say that she has changed quite a bit. However, the fact that she’s adding on to your troubles right now really infuriates me.”

“She’s just too upset. However, it’s going to be hard on you once I leave for R Nation with Beicheng. You must go to the office and the hospital regularly in my place.”

“It won’t be tough, I don’t have much to do anyway. Besides, Erlan is the only artiste who’s signed to our studio. There’s nothing much to be done. Sis, you’re being too nice to the Gu family. You’ve been toiling and slogging your guts out to handle all the mess that’s happened after their mishap. You’re really going to tire yourself out,” said Mei Yangyang, hugging her.

“I’m also a part of the Gu family. Once Mingxi recovers, I’ll no longer have to handle the Gu Corporation. Things will be much easier for me too. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. By the way, look out for Lin Mingyuan if she shows up at the hospital again. She’s on bad terms with Lin Mingxi and you don’t have to talk to her at all. She recognizes my voice. If there’s a need to speak to her, just get the bodyguards to relay the message.”

“Alright. Sis, when do you plan to set off?” Mei Yangyang asked.

“I can’t wait any longer. We’re leaving tonight.”

An Xiaoning did not bring too many bodyguards with her when she left at night, lest she aroused unnecessary suspicions and attention.

She brought No. 5, No. 8, and Xiao Bai along.

They embarked on the journey in a group of five, including Gu Beicheng.

She was the only one amongst them who was wearing a mask.

They boarded the private jet and touched down on a mountain in R Nation.

They then headed to their destination by car.

It was not a smooth journey at all.

Fortunately, after an arduous journey that lasted three days, they finally arrived at their destination.

She knocked on the door, and a little boy answered the door.

“Who are you looking for?” the little boy asked in his puerile voice.

Upon hearing that they were there to seek treatment, the boy brought them inside.

It was a house located at the foot of a mountain deep inside the woods.

It boasted of a rustic aura.

Although it was dilapidated and worn out, it was still rather spick and span.

No. 5 was carrying Gu Beicheng on his back while No. 8 and Xiao Bai were supporting his weight from behind. They followed the little boy to the main house.

The little boy knocked on the door politely and said. “Grandpa, someone’s here to seek treatment.”

“Let them in,” said a voice that seemed to come from an old man.

The boy pushed the door open gently and led them in.

A bearded old man was sitting on a high chair in the room.

He seemed to be a Taoist priest and appeared to be in his seventies or eighties, with his long, snowy white hair, which he had pulled back into a bun.

No wonder he wasn’t enticed by money at all.

An Xiaoning bowed to him respectfully and said, “Uncle, we just came here all the way from S Nation, precisely because we had heard about how skilled you are in treating illnesses. Several doctors have said that my brother is going to become a vegetable if he doesn’t come to soon. Could you please take a look at my brother? I’ll be eternally grateful.”

“I can, but I’ve never made deals for free. I don’t want money or other material possessions. I just need you to promise me one thing.”

“That’s only what I should do. I can’t allow you to treat my brother for free. Go ahead and name your terms, I’ll do it as long as it’s within my means.”

The elderly man said slowly, “I won’t make you risk your life and limb or anything. All I’m asking is for you to talk to me using your real face and identity. We’ll then talk about what you need me to help with.”

An Xiaoning was appalled to realize that the elderly man could tell that she was wearing a mask, for ordinary people would have never been able to do so.

She immediately agreed with a nod, “Sure.”

She removed her mask to reveal her true face, after which she explained, “I wasn’t trying to hide my face on purpose. It’s just, I’ve offended someone here and I’m afraid that he’ll take revenge on me.”

“I understand.” He waved at his grandson and said, “Yan’er, come here.”

The little boy stepped forward slowly and leaned on his lap.

The elderly man introduced, “This is my grandson. I’ll agree to help you if you promise to help me raise him until he reaches adulthood, Miss.”

An Xiaoning did not expect him to make such a request. Raising a child was no issue for her at all.

“No problem. But, Uncle, could you tell me why you’d like to place your grandson in my care? Most people would usually feel reluctant to part with their grandsons at all. Why do you trust me when you don’t know me well at all?”

“This may be the first time we’re meeting each other, but you’ve brought your brother here to see me, didn’t you? That’s a form of trust too. I definitely can’t bear to give him up for adoption, but we’re the only ones left in this family. I’m already advanced in my years, and I know the state my health is in. I’m afraid there won’t be anyone to take care of him after I pass on. The world is full of evil souls. Frankly speaking, I would have placed him under the care of someone else even if you weren’t the one who came here today.”

Weren’t they a family of doctors? Why are the two of them the only ones left? An Xiaoning wondered.

Noticing that she was remaining silent, the elderly man added, “Rest assured, Miss, you only have to raise him into an adult. My grandson won’t want a single cent of your assets. How his life turns out after he reaches adulthood will all depend on him.”

“You’re mistaken, Uncle. That’s not what I’m worried about. Since I’ve agreed to adopt him, I’ll definitely treat him like my own. Don’t worry, Uncle. I, An Xiaoning, am a woman of my word. I’ll need you to treat my brother, Uncle.”

Seeing how sincere she was, the elderly man nodded and said, “Carry him into my room.”

An Xiaoning nodded and instructed No. 5 to bring Gu Beicheng into the room together with the elderly man while she shifted her gaze onto the little boy.

The little boy did not show any signs of reluctance despite having heard his grandfather’s words, and he seemed to be rather sensible. She squatted down and asked, “What’s your name?”
