She continued,
We can leave in peace. Xiaoning, listen to me. I have a safe inside a cabinet in my bedroom. It contains all of our life savings as well as the title deeds to all the property we own and the household registers. I can’t use them anymore. You may have all of those things. Move your name back to the Gu family household register, the other members of the family wouldn’t dare to say anything with you around to take charge. Look after the Gu family on our behalf from now on. I trust you. Now that your father and I are gone, you’re the only kin Beicheng has left, apart from Mingxi. This might increase the burden on your shoulders, but you’re the only person I can depend on. Promise me, alright?

An Xiaoning agreed,
Okay. I promised Grandpa that I wouldn’t leave the Gu family in the lurch during times of crisis. I’ll make the same promise to you now.

Mrs. Gu smiled with tears in her eyes and said,
It was our blessing to have been able to acknowledge you as our goddaughter. Xiaoning, it’s time for us to leave.

An Xiaoning stood aside and watched as Mr. and Mrs. Gu waved her goodbye. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, at a complete loss for words.
She opened her eyes again and was greeted with the sight of a worried Jin Qingyan. She sat up straight and discovered that she was still in the Gu family mansion.


Needless to say, news of the mass murder in the Gu family mansion had made it onto the headlines.
Gu Dongcheng had gone ballistic and murdered his father and stepmother. He then severely wounded his half-brother and sister-in-law moments later. Things had escalated quickly and were blown out of proportion within a short period of time.
An Xiaoning and Jin Yiheng’s names were initially registered under the Gu family’s household register. However, she’d transferred both their names to Jin Qingyan’s register after changing Jin Yiheng’s name.
However, she’d obviously had to remove her name from his register after their divorce.
Hence, she’d done so and registered her name on an independent register.

Qingyan… I need your help with something,
said An Xiaoning.

What is it?

She headed to Mrs. Gu’s bedroom and fumbled about for the safe, which she then unlocked and opened using the passcode that Mrs. Gu had told her about.
She retrieved the household register and handed it to him.
Transfer my name back under the Gu family’s household register and remove the names of the deceased members. Don’t let the media find out about this. I’ll go to the hospital to visit Beicheng and Mingxi now.


Alright.



By the time An Xiaoning arrived at the hospital, Lin Mingxi’s parents were already there, and so was the hypocritical Lin Mingyuan, who was only there because she did not want to be criticized by netizens.
Besides, if Lin Mingxi and Gu Beicheng could not be rescued, Lin Mingxi’s assets would be returned to Mr. and Mrs. Lin. Furthermore, she would become their only daughter who would inherit all their assets. Hence, she obviously had to make an appearance.
Although she had a merry plan in her head, things did not quite go the way she had wished for them to.
Gu Beicheng and Lin Mingxi had yet to be pushed out of the emergency unit when An Xiaoning arrived.
An Xiaoning appeared pale and ghastly, for the ritual had depleted most of her energy.
She was frail and haggard. There were a massive number of media and news reporters camping outside the hospital. Needless to say, everyone was concerned about the status of Gu Beicheng’s life. If Gu Beicheng were to kick the bucket, there would be no one to take over the Gu Corporation.
Even if Lin Mingxi did not die, she would have to spend some time recuperating in the hospital and nursing her body back to health.Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com
As with what happened when Jin Qingyan went missing during the tsunami, chaos would break out within the company if the main stakeholder were to be absent.
At this moment, An Xiaoning prayed that they could tide over the ordeal.
She entered the operating theater and watched the surgeons operate on them with her very own eyes.


Gu Beicheng had taken four bullets to his body.
His bloodstained clothes were thrown onto the floor, and the blood had already dried up and turned into a dark, crimson hue.
An Xiaoning was filled with indescribable anguish and grief.
She watched as the surgeons removed the bullets from their bodies before sewing their wounds up. She was overwhelmed with anxiety upon the sight of the surgeons continuously transfusing blood into their bodies.
At the end of the surgery, the head surgeon explained,
Mr. Gu has sustained severe wounds and lost an excessive amount of blood. He has to be sent to the intensive care unit now, and frankly, his condition is not too optimistic. We don’t know if he’ll ever come to again for now. Ms. An, please prepare yourself mentally. As for Mrs. Gu, she wasn’t shot in her abdomen and hence the fetus is safe and sound. However, one of the bullets had struck her near her chest, and we can’t be sure about her current condition.

An Xiaoning nodded with a grave expression on her face and a heavy heart.
Please do everything you can to save them. If they manage to pull through safely, all the medical professionals and personnel involved in the rescue will be handsomely rewarded. Administer and treat them with the best and most expensive medicine.


We will definitely do our best.


Also, please inform the rest of your colleagues and the hospital staff not to divulge any information regarding their actual condition to the media or to any other member of the Gu and Lin families. Got it?


I understand,
said the head surgeon, who naturally would not dare to spread the word.
An Xiaoning was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions and could not put her feelings into words upon seeing the pale and ghastly Gu Beicheng, who had his eyes tightly shut.


He was pushed into the intensive care unit while Lin Mingxi was admitted to the VIP ward. An Xiaoning arranged for an abundant number of bodyguards to guard outside the wards.

Just what did the doctor say? Is Mingxi in any critical danger right now?
Mrs. Lin asked worriedly.

The surgeon was not certain about that. Uncle, Auntie, I’ll instruct my bodyguards and the nurses to look after Mingxi. You guys may go home first. I’ll call you again when she comes to.


I’m not leaving! My daughter is already in such a state. How could I stay at home in peace? I must stay here to look after her,
Mrs. Lin refused.
An Xiaoning empathized with how they felt and said,
In that case, just stay behind then. Ms. Lin, you may leave. I don’t think Mingxi would want to see you when she comes to.

Mrs. Lin glared at her eldest daughter and rebuked,
Didn’t I already say that you’re no longer a member of our family? Mingxi doesn’t need your concern. Hurry and leave.


Mother… I’ve really repented. I know I was wrong and reflected on my mistakes. I too think that I’ve let Mingxi down previously. Will you give me another chance?
Lin Mingyuan pleaded.
Pointing at the door, Mrs. Lin hollered,
Get out! Mingxi will definitely get upset if she sees you when she regains her consciousness. You’d better hurry and scram.

Lin Mingyuan had no choice but to leave.
After she left, Mrs. Lin again asked,
Ms. An, please be honest with me. Just what is going on with Mingxi?




Auntie, I was telling you the truth. Mingxi’s condition is uncertain.
An Xiaoning helped her onto a seat and continued,
Mingxi was shot twice, but none of the bullets hit her abdomen so her fetus is safe. However, one of the bullets had struck a spot near her heart and, thus, she will have to be put under observation after she comes to.


How about Beicheng?


Beicheng’s condition is far more serious than Mingxi’s. He’s in the intensive care unit now and his condition is critical. But I’ll do everything I can to save him. Auntie, Uncle, it’s a critical period now, and I’d like to ask of you to keep the details of their conditions confidential. You have to be especially wary of your elder daughter and remember not to tell her anything about it. Frankly speaking, your elder daughter could very likely take the chance now to mess with their birth characters and cause them harm. If you still can’t see your daughter’s true colors at this point, I really feel aggrieved and indignant for Mingxi. Uncle, Auntie, do you understand what I mean?
