Chapter 716 - How Should She Wish Him Well Completely?

As for Little Fifth, Ou Luoxi must have suspected that Little Fifth was his. This was such an important matter, and Ou Luoxi must have had a DNA, but the result was that Little Fifth was not his. It must be Ou Ze that was creating trouble. After all, Ou Luoxi had just returned to the country, and Ou Ze’s powers back then were great enough to control all of the DNA testing clinics in T City.

It was only at this moment that Xia Xiaofu realized that Ou Ze was such a powerful figure. He was cunning and wicked. Back over one year ago, she did not sense anything at all, and he broke Ou Luoxi’s trust for her step by step.

Or maybe in Ou Luoxi’s heart, she was really just a harlot, a cunning woman who did not know anything about loyalty and shame.

Should she go and explain it?

How should she explain it?

Xia Xiaofu thought about the subordinate who had died in front of her today. Those people looked at her with hate in their eyes. They were right. In front of these survivors, if she were to explain that her right eye could not see clearly or that it was because she’d been tricked by Ou Ze, no one would believe her, and it would make her seem even more of a joke.

She had made a mistake.

The key concern was Ou Luoxi’s state right now.

Ou Ze was right. This mistake had made Uncle Fourth lose his trust in him again, and his position in the Green Door was still not steady. Ah Gan was gunning for his position closely. She even thought that the plan that was so well done today, or maybe…Ou Ze and Ah Gan had long worked together with one another secretly, and that day, the words Ou Ze had whispered about Ah Gan.

Xia Xiaofu tightened her arms and hugged herself even more firmly. Actually, Ah Gan and Ou Ze had come to look for her individually. She knew about it already, and she would not have an ending with Ou Luoxi, but she was the only one who was unwilling to admit it all the time.

She wanted to be by his side for a very long time and let time and gentleness slowly soothe his wounds, but reality gave her a painful blow today.

Everyone was right, and now that she was Ou Luoxi’s only weak spot, those people were all using her to attack Ou Luoxi. Ou Ze had done so in the past, and now Ah also Gan.

Given Ou Luoxi’s identity as Young Master Gong Ming and all of the complicated relations in the clan, she was a burden in his progress to ascend.

If she were not around, maybe he would be sad for a short period of time, but no one else would pierce his heart again. He could let go of his hands and gamble on tomorrow. There would be a day when he could stand on the top of the world and look at the world beneath him. He would still have a good girl who loved him deeply, protect his home, and give birth to children for him. He would lead a very blissful life.

And she was fated never to be with him.

Xia Xiaofu’s head was buried deep into her own kneecaps. Ou Luoxi… She had not expected that they’d end up separate when all was said and done. The only person she loved in her entire life , when her love was at its end, how should she let him go and wish him well?

…

Ou Luoxi was on guard in the VIP room for the entire night. Gong Ling lay down on the hospital bed, and her condition was stable now, but she had not woken up yet.

Knock knock. Someone knocked on the door. Ah Li pushed the door and came inside.

“Young Master.”

Ou Luoxi sat down on a chair by the side of the bed. His head was leaning against the back of the chair as if he were sleeping. Ah Li’s voice made him wake up, and his tired eyes were bloodshot as he plainly said, “What’s wrong?”

“”Young Master, Fourth Uncle heard that Young Miss was injured last night and has already taken a red eye flight on his personal jet to rush over. Ah Gan went over to pick him up personally. Fourth Uncle is already on the way to the hospital now.”

“Okay.” Ou Luoxi hummed out loud.

Ah Li’s face had a serious expression on it as he said, “Young Master, the situation is probably going to be bad when he gets here. Ah Gan must have tried to start rumours and told Fourth Uncle some news, and you’ve just ascended onto the position of Young Master. There are many subordinates who do not recognize that. If Ah Gan works with these people, then we…”

Ou Luoxi raised his beautiful eyes and curled the corners of his lips up slowly as he said, “Isn’t this even better? After they take action and emerge from the shadows into the light of day, we will catch all of them in one spot.”

Ah Li was relieved. One of the reasons he was so loyal was because there was a power in Ou Luoxi that made him trust the man.

The smile on Ou Luoxi’s face became colder and colder as he said, “Ah Gan is already unable to wait any longer. The matters last night were not something that could be done by one person alone. Ah Gan must have worked together with Ou Ze.”

“What?” Ah Li was surprised, and he said, “Ah Gan is getting more and more out of hand. The sources of military arms in Ou Ze’s possession are also something that Fourth Uncle is after, and he dares to work with the enemy?”

“Hah!” Ou Luoxi laughed coldly and said, “Ah Gan is forced into that due to his anxiety. He does not even use his brain anymore. Although in the past few years, Fourth Uncle started not to ask anything about the official matter anymore, regarding the matters of the Green Door, Fourth Uncle is extremely familiar with everything. Ah Gan is ruining his backup plan right now.”

Ah Li wholeheartedly agreed. In Uncle Fourth’s entire life, the thing that he hated most was chaos under his watch, especially when it involved working with the enemy and private collaborations.

Last night, Ah Li could not fall asleep because he was worried about the way things were developing, and his Young Master did not say a single word at all. He only spent the entire night in the hospital. He thought that it was dangerous, but he did not expect Young Master to have already seen through the circumstances, and Fourth Uncle coming over must have been something that Young Master expected.

At this moment, the sound of knocking rang out in the air again. Knock, knock. A subordinate walked over, and he bent down by Ah Li’s ear to whisper a few words.

Ah Li nodded his head and waved the subordinate away. He lowered his gaze to have a glance at Ou Luoxi, and Ou Luoxi was rubbing his temples with his eyes closed.

“Young Master,” Ah Li spoke softly as he said, “Fourth Uncle is already here.”

Ou Luoxi did not stop massaging his temples, and he asked, “Where is he now?”

“He is in…Miss Xia’s room.”

Ou Luoxi’s movements came to a sudden halt before he stood up quickly and headed towards the door.

Ah Li smiled bitterly. It was only when matters involved Xia Xiaofu that Young Master would become unlike himself. Ah Li stepped forward quickly and stretched one arm out to block him as he politely said, “Young Master, please do not go over. With Fourth Uncle’s personality, he would not take any action on Miss Xia in the hospital. I think that Fourth Uncle has something to tell Miss Xia. Young Miss is extremely smitten with you, and this time, she got hurt because she was saving you. If you rush over when they are talking to one another at this time, you would definitely anger Fourth Uncle. You have to know that Young Miss is Fourth Uncle’s precious treasure… Young Master!”

Ou Luoxi avoided his arm and was already a few metres away.

Ah Li looked at his back profile and shook his head as he felt worried. He did not have much of a right to speak about Young Master’s personal life, but Young Master’s intelligence had been disrupted by this woman, and this was not something good.

…

Inside the room, Xia Xiaofu sat down by the side of the bed as she looked at the guest. This was a grandfather who seemed to be around 60 years old. His hair was already all white, but his energy was still in high spirits. He took steady, powerful steps, and his cloudy eyes had a hidden sharp glow to them. She heard that Fourth Uncle was in his 40s when he had his daughter, so he pampered her even more, and Xia Xiaofu guessed that this was Fourth Uncle.

There was a butler by the side of Fourth Uncle. The butler stood by the side of the door politely, and Uncle Fourth took a walking stick as he stepped forward. He had a benevolent expression on his face as he examined Xia Xiaofu before he said, “Are you Miss Xia, Xia Xiaofu?”

Xia Xiaofu put her guard up and took a step back as she said, “Who are you?”

“Hah!” Fourth Uncle sat down on the sofa and said, “Miss Xia, how are you? Let me introduce myself. I am Gong Ling’s father. Everyone calls me Fourth Uncle.”

Xia Xiaofu knew that she’d guessed correctly, but she had a puzzled expression on her face as she said, “What do you need from me?”

“Hah, it is like that. Last night, there was an explosion in a warehouse in the Western Mountain. Many were injured, including my daughter. I just want to ask you: why did you say the wrong number left on the bomb activator. There is a big difference between 9 seconds and 90 seconds.”

Everyone thought that just a 0 was the difference between a 9 and 90 on the bomb activator device, but they did not know that there were many many zeros on the activator device. She did not have any witnesses or any evidence, and anything that she said right now was just an excuse.

Xia Xiaofu did not say anything. She raised her head up and looked over at the closed door.

At this moment, Ou Luoxi was already at the side of the door. There was no sound proofing here, and his hearing was good. He could hear what was going on inside very easily.

Fourth Uncle squinted his eyes, laughed, and said, “Miss Xia, why do you have to look at the door, who are you expecting to come over? If it is Ou Luoxi, then he would not be able to come over now. He is accompanying my daughter in the hospital ward.”

Xia Xiaofu lowered her gaze. She was soft but confident as she said, “He will come over.”

“Are you so confident that he would come and save you? Miss Xia, you probably do not know this, but Ou Luoxi is the ideal candidate that I have inside my heart as my son-in-law.”

Xia Xiaofu was shocked before she turned her gaze to the side to look at Fourth Uncle, and she shook her head, “He would not marry your daughter.”

“Oh, is that right? Miss Xia is so sure about Ou Luoxi?”

Xia Xiaofu lowered her gaze towards her feet before slowly saying, “Don’t ask me anymore questions. I will not say a single word. If you want to ask someone questions, go and ask Ou Luoxi then. Also, I have something to advise Miss Gong Ling on. I already have a daughter with Ou Luoxi. If she does not want to be a stepmother in the future, then ask her to forget being together with Ou Luoxi.”

“Your daughter belongs to Ou Luoxi?” Fourth Uncle asked with a laugh.

Xia Xiaofu was sure as she nodded her head. “Yes.”

Ou Luoxi who was standing outside the door and listened to the conversation quietly, and his right hand that he’d placed on the door handle slowly drooped down without any strength.

At this moment, the door was pushed open. Fourth Uncle and the butler walked out. Fourth Uncle saw Ou Luoxi, who was standing outside, and his face turned dark immediately. He shook his sleeves before lifting his heels and walking forward.

The butler sighed softly and said, “Young Master, Old Master thought that you dated a gangster woman and gave you some lovesick potion, but when he met this woman just now, she was so simple that we were all disappointed. Young Master, are you doing this for someone unworthy?”

Ou Luoxi pursed his thin lips together, and did not say anything.

…

In the corridor, Fourth Uncle and Ah Gan were standing together with one another. Ou Luoxi stepped forward as he said, “Fourth Uncle, I am so sorry. What happened yesterday was my fault. I will take all responsibility for it.”

Ah Gan laughed coldly and said, “Young Master, how do you want to take all responsibility for it? Ever since you returned to T City, how many mistakes have you made? The sources of military arms that Fourth Uncle wanted, you originally could get them very easily, but because of Xia Xiaofu, you gave them to Ou Ze. That resulted in a big last night. How many brothers of the Green Door paid for your mistakes with their lives? The worst thing is that Young Miss is entirely smitten with you. Forget that you are cold towards Young Miss normally, but last night, you actually allowed Young Miss to get injured because of you. You cannot be forgiven at all!”

“Ah Gan, Fourth Uncle is here, and he did not even say anything. What rights do you have to be speaking first?” Ah Li stepped forward to criticize Ah Gan before he politely told Fourth Uncle, “Fourth Uncle, Young Master already knows his mistake. Ou Ze is in our hands right now. As long as Fourth Uncle gives us a few more days, we will definitely get the source of the military arms. Furthermore, we are in the hospital right now, and Young Miss is still in a coma. Young Miss did not even care about her life because of Young Master. If Fourth Uncle punishes Young Master during this time, when Young Miss wakes up, she would definitely be very sad.”

“Ah Li, you are being totally biased towards Young Master right now. Since Young Master knows of the feelings that Young Miss has for him, and Young Miss is still in a coma in the hospital ward, then Uncle Fourth was just looking for Xia Xiaofu for a chat. Why does Young Master have to be so nervous and ignore Young Miss to come and visit Xia Xiaofu? Then does our Young Miss have any weight in our Young Master’s heart at all?”

Ah Gan’s words obviously stepped on Fourth Uncle’s tail. Fourth Uncle struck the floor with his cane harshly, and his cloudy eyes were sharp as he looked at Ou Luoxi and said, “Gong Ming, you know?”

“Yes.” Ou Luoxi nodded his head.

“Okay, we have rules in the Green Door. If you did something wrong, you have to be punished. Butler, take the cane over.”

“Fourth Uncle…” Ah Li’s expression changed, and he was about to speak, but Ou Luoxi stretched his right arm out to block Ah Li.

The butler was put on the spot and handed the whip over to Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle looked at Ou Luoxi and said, “Do you agree to it?”

“I do,” said Ou Luoxi.

At this moment, a weak shout rang out, “Daddy, don’t!”

Gong Ling, who’d just woken up, dashed into Ou Luoxi’s embrace immediately.

“Young Miss!” Gong Ling rushed in too suddenly. Fourth Uncle’s whip had already come down. Everyone looked on as the whip went towards Gong Ling’s small beautiful face.

Everyone took in a breath of air, and at this moment, Ou Luoxi stretched his left hand out like a bolt of lightning and pinned down Gong Ling’s slim waist as he protected her in his embrace. He used his right hand to grab Fourth Uncle’s whip in mid air.

Fourth Uncle threw the leather whip onto the floor, and he was nervous as he bellowed out, “Ling Er, have you gone mad?”

Gong Ling’s face was pale white as she was nested in Ou Luoxi’s embrace. She looked at Fourth Uncle and weakly begged, “Daddy, don’t hit Older Brother Gong Ming. I do not allow you to hit him!”

Fourth Uncle really treasured this precious daughter of his, and he let out a heavy sigh.

At this moment, Gong Ling was nervous as she grabbed Ou Luoxi’s right hand. There were multiple small sharp spikes on the leather whip. The moment the whip went down, the person would lose a layer of skin. Ou Luoxi used his hand to hold the whip just now, so now his right hand was bleeding very badly. Gong Ling’s tears flowed down immediately, and she said, “Older Brother Gong Ming, your hand is bleeding now. Does it hurt very badly? Call the doctor quickly!”

“I am fine.” Ou Luoxi shook his head, before he carried Gong Ling in his arms, and he headed towards the VIP ward as he said, “It is just a minor injury. It does not hurt.”

This was the first time that Older Brother Gong Ming carried her. Gong Ling felt extremely sweet inside her heart, and she was so elated. She used both of her small hands to hug his neck tightly, and she raised her eyebrows and pouted her lips together as she said, “Nonsense. How can Older Brother Gong Ming not be in any pain? If you do not hurt, I am in pain because of you.”

Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze to look at her small, innocent, and naïve face, and he had a small smile on his face as he said, “You are most afraid of pain. Last night, when you were defending me from the knife, weren’t you in pain?”

“It did not hurt. I am so brave. As long as Older Brother Gong Ming is fine, everything is alright.”

The people in the corridor watched on as Ou Luoxi carried Gong Ling into the ward. Fourth Uncle’s expressions were complicated and extremely frustrated, and Ah Gan was already so hateful that he was about to spew blood.

Xia Xiaofu ducked at the bend of the corridor to look on at whatever was going on in the corridor. She wiped her tears away, but tears had already covered her entire face.

Ou Luoxi, I am sorry.

In the future, if everything goes this way, it would be great.

Her love had become so poor that if anyone asked her what she could still do for him, she would say she’d let him go and give him the best future.
