He refused to admit it, but deep down, he actually wanted to force this man back. He had been suppressing the Gu family, driving them mad like rabid dogs, all to force Gu Junbo to appear, to hear him say he was wrong.
"I hope you can let go of your prejudice against the Gu family and stop targeting them. Also... you should know you have a sister, right? She's sick and needs you to save her." Gu Junbo stated his purpose.
Gu Yunting looked at the man before him, his face devoid of any expression. After a long moment, he suddenly let out a low laugh, his already shattered heart completely ground into dust!
From now on, no one should mention any damned family ties to him! In his eyes, family was nothing!
"Gu Junbo, what gives you the right to lecture me? You think too highly of yourself! Now, take your son and get out of Jing City. I might consider letting him live. Otherwise... the only thing you'll be taking away is his corpse!" Gu Yunting's smile was cold and ruthless.
"Ating... please, consider it. For the ten years I've been with you, please consider it." Gu Junbo frowned, looking at him.
"I'll say it again, get out!" Gu Yunting finally exploded. As he stood up, the chair scraped against the floor with a loud noise. His face was already extremely grim.
Ye Wan was startled and immediately stood up, rushing towards him. She couldn't understand why he would react so angrily when his origins were mentioned.
Gu Junbo looked at his son with a complicated expression. His gaze suddenly shifted past his son towards the distance. He abruptly stood up and pushed his son, who was standing directly opposite him.
With a bang, Gu Junbo was shot in the shoulder. He fell to the ground, his hand covering the wound, wincing in pain.
Ye Wan screamed in fright, covering her ears and crouching down. Gu Yunting, hearing her startled cry, rushed over and held her, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
The bodyguards on both sides rushed in to protect their respective masters. Some went to pursue the assassin targeting Gu Yunting.
...
At the hospital.
Gu Junbo's wound was not life-threatening. After being bandaged by the doctors, he was taken back to his room. Gu Yunting wanted to leave, but Ye Wan held him back. She didn't know what had happened between the father and son, but she felt that since Gu Junbo had saved him, he should stay and wait to see his father's condition.
Gu Yunting's brow remained furrowed until a bodyguard came to invite him and Ye Wan to the ward.
Gu Junbo leaned against the headboard, his face slightly pale. He looked at his son and said with a frown, "Ating, you are too ruthless. This will only make you more enemies. You were lucky to escape today, but how many lives do you have to send assassins after!"
"Are you worried about my life, or are you worried that if I die, your beloved daughter won't be saved? Gu Junbo, don't appear before me again. I won't thank you for saving me today!" Gu Yunting said, then turned and pulled Ye Wan away. This time, he firmly pulled Ye Wan and left the hospital without the slightest hesitation.
Ye Wan's wrist was about to break from his grip. Seeing his grim expression, she pressed her lips together and endured without making a sound. She had been too far away and hadn't heard their conversation clearly, nor did she know what had happened between them.
In the car, Gu Yunting suddenly hugged Ye Wan tightly. Ye Wan tried to move, but then heard the man say in a hoarse voice, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
