The nurse looked at Gu Feng in panic, her voice trembling with fear as she exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
"Nurse, where are the patients in this ward and the Nursing staff? Where did they go?"
Hearing his question, the Nurse finally relaxed a bit. So that was what he was asking about; her earlier expression had truly startled her.
"Are you Sister Lan? She went to the Intensive Care Unit to see a friend!"
The Intensive Care Unit reminded Gu Feng of Mu Jiangfeng, and he cursed under his breath before rushing towards the Intensive Care Unit.
Soon, Gu Feng arrived at the Intensive Care Unit.
As he reached the Nursing ward of the Intensive Care Unit, he saw through the large glass window that a special Nurse was taking care of Lan Baobao.
The Nurse was standing outside the ward, presumably waiting for Lan Baobao.
Gu Feng stepped forward and entered the ward. However, when he walked in, he was taken aback to see Lan Baobao in tears.
His heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
He knew very well that Lan Baobao wasn't crying out of love but out of self-blame, guilt, and sympathy for Mu Jiangfeng.
After all, Mu Jiangfeng had become this way because of her; she felt responsible and obligated.
"Baby! Don't be sad!" Finally, Gu Feng's voice broke the silence.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lan Baobao snapped back to reality and hastily wiped away the tears from her eyes and face.
"Gu Feng, how did you get here?"
"I just met with Ye Zixun and came back. I noticed you weren't in the ward, so I came to check on you." Gu Feng's tone was calm.
Lan Baobao still felt an inexplicable shock upon hearing that name. "You... met with Ye Zixun? What did you two talk about?"
"Nothing much. He mainly asked me about the kidnapping of Ye Ziru."
"What did you say to him?" Lan Baobao's emotions suddenly became tense.
Gu Feng looked at her, his gaze becoming unusually complex. Did she think of him as someone who does not keep promises? Why had she learned to doubt him instead of learning other things?
"I didn't say anything. I will remember what I promised you. No matter what, I will not go against the agreement between us. I didn't say anything to Ye Zixun."
At this moment, Lan Baobao realized that her words had hurt him. How could she doubt him after all he had done to help her? How could she not trust him?
"I'm sorry!"
"Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?" Perhaps this was the only thing they could say to each other now.
"Do you think you owe me an apology?"
"I shouldn't have doubted you. I just... I just..."
"I understand. You didn't want Mu Jiangfeng to get hurt. I can understand your feelings."
"Gu Feng, thank you!"
Lan Baobao's gaze fell once again on Mu Jiangfeng.
He was unresponsive now; how could she still hurt Mu Jiangfeng?
"Mu Jiangfeng is already in a terrible state. I don't want him to go through anything else. Thank you for understanding how I feel right now."
Gu Feng suddenly felt a pain in her heart, not for herself, but for Lan Baobao.
She looked at Mu Jiangfeng, who appeared so pitiful, his eyes filled with tears.
Gu Feng did not want to see Lan Baobao unhappy, and she definitely did not want to see her cry.
Lan Baobao had fallen into a calm state; she understood Gu Feng's concerns. Just a moment ago in this hospital room, she had thought about many things herself.
Mu Jiangfeng was no longer the Mu Jiangfeng she once knew.
When he wakes up, perhaps he will indeed use some despicable means to force her to stay by his side.
But no matter what Mu Jiangfeng had done to her in the past, just thinking about the fact that he had ended up like this to save her made it impossible for her to leave him heartlessly.
Telling her to abandon Mu Jiangfeng was something Lan Baobao could not do either.
"Gu Feng, I hope to see him wake up. As for what happens afterward, we can deal with that later."
"So you don't plan to return to Ye Zixun's side? You don't intend to seek your own happiness?"
Lan Baobao shook her head; did she still have any happiness to speak of?
Perhaps it would be like this for a lifetime, perhaps she would never have happiness again.
"I don't want to! At least, I don't want to leave at this moment. Gu Feng, if you are my friend, then please don't go down that path. I have already made my decision; I won't be with anyone else until I see Mu Jiangfeng healthy again. Zi Xun... Zi Xun might not understand me, but you should stand by my side, right?"
"Alright! Since you've made your decision, what else can I say? I will do my best to help you navigate things with Ye Zixun, but I can't guarantee success. Ye Zixun is not someone easy to deal with."
Gu Feng sighed inwardly and chose not to say more. At this point, nothing seemed useful; it was all futile, wasn't it?
Lan Baobao, why do you have to be so kind? If you were just a little more ruthless, how much better would it be!
The two of them stayed in the hospital room, not knowing how long had passed. In the Intensive Care Unit, it was already time to dismiss the family members when Gu Feng pushed Lan Baobao out of this place.
At four o'clock in the afternoon.
Since Ye Zixun returned, he had locked himself in his room. No matter how the servants knocked on the door, it was as if he couldn't hear them.
The servants outside grew tired of knocking and eventually stopped.
Ye Zixun stood alone by the window, looking out at the emptiness outside. Suddenly, his eyes focused, and he turned around to pick up the phone that was on the round table in his room. He called the company’s Secretary.
"Hello!"
"President, you finally called! I've made over a dozen calls to you today, and none went through. I thought something happened to you. I..."
"Immediately investigate a person for me. I want to know who he has been associating with recently and his whereabouts." Before the Secretary could finish her sentence, Ye Zixun ordered her in a low voice.
The Secretary was puzzled. Who could have a conflict with the president that required him to personally order an investigation?
"President, who is this person?"
"Gu Feng. Where has Gu Feng been? Who has he interacted with? I want to know everything clearly. Investigate thoroughly by any means necessary."
"Gu Feng? The person you want to investigate is Gu Feng?" The Secretary felt even more confused. Wasn't the president friends with Gu Feng? She remembered that Ye Zixun and Gu Feng were very close friends. There was even a room in the company for them; their relationship had always been good.
Why would the president suddenly want to investigate Gu Feng?
Upon hearing this, Ye Zixun narrowed his eyes dangerously and said unhappily, "What? Do you doubt my words?"
Although the Secretary could not see it, he knew what Ye Zixun's temperament was like.
Ye Zixun had never liked others questioning his words, especially subordinates.
As Ye Zixun's assistant, one not only had to think of things that Ye Zixun might overlook but also had to execute his orders completely and absolutely. Otherwise, it would provoke Ye Zixun's displeasure.
So far, only Assistant Lin by Ye Zixun's side could fully satisfy him.
On the other end of the phone, the assistant shook his head vigorously and said, "President, it's not like that. I will handle what you instructed immediately. By the way, President, are you coming back to the company today? There are still some matters waiting for you to deal with."
"I'm not coming back. Cancel all meetings and appointments at the company. All matters that require my decision should be handed over to Assistant Lin to handle."
After finishing, Ye Zixun immediately hung up the phone.
At this moment, Grandpa Ye was standing outside the door. He had come over because Ye Ziru insisted on seeing her father, but unexpectedly heard that Zi Xun wanted to investigate Gu Feng.
Could it be because there was still no result regarding Ye Ziru's kidnapping?
This Gu Feng was indeed a bit strange; although he did not hesitate when asked about things, he never gave a straightforward answer.
This lack of cooperation was a first.
"Zi Xun!" Grandpa Ye opened the door and walked in holding Ye Ziru.
Seeing Grandpa Ye, Ye Zixun immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, why did you suddenly come over?"
"Come sit down." Grandpa Ye did not immediately question Ye Zixun but instead sat down on the sofa in the room.
Seeing Grandpa Ye sit down, Ye Zixun also took a seat on the sofa and asked, "Grandpa, did you come to find me for something?"
"Ye Ziru I miss you, so I hugged Ye Ziru over." Grandpa Ye finally asked about what had just happened, "Zi Xun, why were you looking into Gu Feng?"
"You heard everything."
Ye Zixun looked up in shock at Grandpa Ye, wondering if Grandpa Ye had been standing outside the door when he ordered Secretary to investigate.
He quickly composed himself, then took Ye Ziru from Grandpa Ye's hands and placed her on his lap, saying, "That's right, I had someone investigate Gu Feng. I suspect Gu Feng is hiding something from me."
"About what?"
In the next moment, Ye Zixun's gaze fell on his daughter, Ye Ziru.
Ye Ziru was obediently nestled in his arms, quietly holding onto Ye Zixun, her big eyes wide open as she looked at him.
Ye Zixun smiled slightly and hugged Ye Ziru closer, saying, "Gu Feng hasn’t mentioned anything about the kidnapper who abducted Ye Ziru. I believe there must be some hidden circumstances we are unaware of."
"Gu Feng won’t even tell you?" Old Man Ye also found it strange; such a thing shouldn't happen. After all, Zi Xun is the child’s grandfather and has the right to know the truth, doesn’t he?
What qualifications or reasons does Gu Feng have to keep this from Ye Zixun?
Ye Zixun's expression was complex as he rubbed Ye Ziru's head and said, "Ye Ziru went out to play with her aunt. I think this must have been done by a woman, so we need to find this woman to understand what really happened at that time. However, Gu Feng, all matters regarding the kidnapper have already been resolved. He told me not to worry; he handled the kidnapper but didn’t tell me anything. I don’t believe him. There must be some reason why Gu Feng is unwilling to share information about the kidnapper with me. But I must investigate this myself."
