She spoke, and Zhang Liunian immediately took her small hand again to comfort her, "No, it's not your fault. Without you, Gu Changqing wouldn't have stopped bothering me. Don't be sad, aren't I alright now?"
"..." Sun's father and son, and Kang Dafu, only then realized the truth of the matter.
"Gu Changqing is really becoming more and more classless. Since he used a woman to threaten you, he deserved to die." Sun's father couldn't help but say.
But as soon as he spoke, silence fell upon the entire scene, especially Kang Dafu, who screamed out in the first instance, "Gu Changqing is dead?"
"Gu Changqing is really dead?" This was Zhang Liunian asking. Upon hearing that Gu Changqing was dead, he was first stunned, and then all that was left was surprise. He remembered that Gu Changqing was not as severely injured as he was, and he had survived. Why would the other party die?
"Yes, you all didn't know? He was in the same hospital as you, but he has already been taken back by the Gu family. I only found out that Gu Changqing had died when I heard it from the people below. Because of his death, the old man from the Gu family was furious and vowed to settle accounts with you. You must be careful during this time and not fall into his traps. You can rest assured outside the hospital. I will have someone help you watch, and then send two people to guard your ward, so that you won't be disturbed by the Gu family while you recover." Sun's father came specifically to repay Zhang Liunian's kindness.
Zhang Liunian was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Then thank you, Uncle Sun, for your help."
"What do you plan to do next?" Sun's father was pleased to see that he understood his intentions.
"If this hadn't happened, we would have left Pengcheng last night. Although we are injured now, I still want to leave quickly." Zhang Liunian moved. Although the several wounds on his body ached faintly, as long as his life was not in danger, he still wanted to leave quickly.
"You decide. During the few days you are recovering, I will help you hold off the Gu family." Sun's father felt that it would undoubtedly be best if Zhang Liunian could leave sooner.
"Thank you, Uncle Sun."
"You're welcome. If you need anything, call me, and I'll be there immediately. I'll be going to take care of things now."
"Okay." Sun's father chatted for a bit and then left with his men.
After they left, Kang Dafu looked at Zhang Liunian with concern, "Are you really alright?"
"Really alright."
"But you're so badly injured. You should recover first before leaving. With the Sun family helping you, you can rest assured and focus on your recovery." Kang Dafu was advising him out of concern, urging him not to rush to leave, lest he strain his injuries.
Zhang Liunian naturally understood, "I know your good intentions, but I can't keep bothering the Sun family, so I'll leave after resting for one day." He planned to take a train the next night. The department store in the provincial capital was waiting for him to unseal it, and he couldn't stay any longer.
"But you like this..." Kang Dafu looked at the bandaged Zhang Liunian, full of worry.
Zhang Liunian glanced at the IV drip he was on and smiled carelessly, "It's fine, I'll just buy two sleeper tickets."
Kang Dafu had nothing more to say, "Alright, be careful on the road."
"I will." Kang Dafu chatted here for a long time until Zhang Qian brought lunch and Xiao Zhou, and then he got up to leave.
Meanwhile, Gu Lou was leading people to the hospital to cause trouble for Zhang Liunian, but he encountered Sun Nian leading his men, blocking their way.
"Sun family's eldest son, what do you mean by this?" Gu Lou looked at Sun Nian deliberately blocking his path, his eyes widening slightly.
"My father said that Zhang Liunian is a distinguished guest of our Sun family, and no one is allowed to disturb him. Uncle Gu, you should go back!" Sun Nian's tone was quite polite. But Gu Lou's first feeling upon hearing this was that the Sun family was deliberately looking for trouble and wanted to help Zhang Liunian deal with their Gu family. Although their Gu family and the Sun family had always been rivals, they had never openly confronted each other like this. Today, because of Zhang Liunian, the Sun family acted like this, which made him suspect if Zhang Liunian had given the Sun family any benefits. Otherwise, why would they go so far for a self-employed individual from another province?
"What exactly did that person named Zhang Liunian give your Sun family for you to help him like this, even to the point of becoming enemies with us?" Gu Lou stared at Sun Nian with a somber expression, questioning the reason. Sun Nian naturally could not reveal it, it was about that piece of land. So he just smiled, "You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, we can't let your Gu family people see him. This is what we promised."
Gu Lou glared at him furiously, "If you don't want me to see him, I will see him."
"Uncle Gu can try to see if you can break through us and see him? In any case, the Sun family will protect Zhang Liunian." Sun Nian spread his arms, welcoming his attempt. Gu Lou was enraged. After comparing the strength of the opposing forces, he found that the men he brought were not enough. But he could not just leave and let go of the perpetrator who harmed his son. "Since that's the case, then go ahead. I want to see if your Sun family is stronger, or our Gu family is stronger." After much thought, Gu Lou still ordered the people behind him to attack. Sun Nian immediately retreated and also had his men step forward. The two groups of people clashed on the street outside the hospital. The result was that the Gu family, due to their smaller numbers, was miserably defeated by the Sun family. "Uncle Gu, you should leave. You won't be able to see him today." Sun Nian looked at the defeated Gu Lou and said with a smile, arms crossed. Gu Lou looked at him with a dark expression, "We'll see." "..." After returning home, Gu Lou looked at his son's cold corpse and said with tears streaming down his face, "Changqing, Dad will definitely avenge you, kill Zhang Liunian, and send him down to apologize to you." Gu Sanqing beside him also looked sad, but when he saw Gu Changqing's body, an unidentifiable glint flashed in his eyes, but no one noticed. "Dad, Uncle Gu asked me to drive them away, but I think he definitely won't give up." Sun Nian returned home and reported this matter to his father. Sun's father stood by the window, looking at a bird's nest not far away, and said without turning his head, "Although Gu Changqing was not very capable, he was still the old man's eldest son, and a son he truly loved. Now that he's dead, he naturally won't let Zhang Liunian go." "Should I arrange for more people to protect him?" Sun Nian suddenly worried that the people he sent were not enough. "Fifty people are enough. Zhang Liunian himself is capable. Although he is injured, he will make thorough preparations." "Yes." In the evening, Zhang Liunian's ward was visited by several police officers led by Wei Quanmin. "Comrade Zhang Liunian, we received a report saying you murdered Gu Changqing and are here to investigate this matter. Please cooperate." Wei Quanmin came to Zhang Liunian's hospital bed and found that Zhang Liunian was completely wrapped in bandages. His heart sank slightly. Is he so badly injured? / "Killed Gu Changqing? I don't have that ability. I just fought back and injured him a few times after he injured me, but I didn't intend to take his life." Seeing the police arrive, Zhang Liunian immediately shifted to self-defense. Moreover, he was not lying. When he stabbed Gu Changqing, he did intend to get revenge, but he didn't have the intention to take his life. "We will investigate this. Just answer whatever we ask truthfully from now on." "Okay."
