National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

With the socialite’s help, Gu Chen soon arrived at the resort’s medical room.

The medical room reeked of the sharp smell of disinfectant.

Meng Fan was lying on a hospital bed, receiving basic treatment.

One of the doctors said, ”This leg has a severe comminuted fracture.

Here in our medical room, we can only temporarily stabilize your injury.

Proper treatment will require a trip to a real hospital.

After all, we don’t have some of the necessary medical equipment here.”

Meng Fan’s face was ashen. He lay on the bed, whimpering, ”Then what are you waiting for? I feel like this leg is about to be useless! They’re not going to amputate it if I get to the hospital too late, are they?”

”Young Master Meng Fan, please rest assured, it won’t come to an amputation. We’ve already contacted the hospital for an ambulance. It’s on its way,” the doctor replied calmly.

”Call them again and tell them to hurry up! Their efficiency is pathetic.”

Meng Fan pounded his fist on the bed, roaring in exasperation.

”That’s enough. Stop shouting.

Even if you have the doctor call and rush the ambulance,

they can’t just grow wings and fly here.”

Gu Chen walked in and sat down on an empty hospital bed.

With a nurse’s help, he took off his suit jacket, revealing an arm completely stained red with blood.

When the doctor and nurse saw the injury on his shoulder, they couldn’t help but gasp. The area was completely mangled.

Shattered bone was exposed to the air, with bits of flesh clinging to it, dripping with blood.

The injury was so severe that the doctors and nurses couldn’t even stabilize it.

They had no choice but to call for another ambulance,

hoping one could be sent to take Gu Chen away as well.

”What happened to you?” Meng Fan asked, puzzled. ”Was it Yu Qiming, too?”

”Who else could it be?” Gu Chen’s expression was surprisingly calm.

Although his right arm was more severely injured,

he didn’t know if it was due to the blood loss or the severity of the injury, but the arm had gone somewhat numb.

”Light a cigarette for me, thanks.” Gu Chen looked up at the socialite and forced a smile.

The socialite quickly took a pack of cigarettes out of her purse, but they were women’s cigarettes.

Gu Chen shook his head, indicating it didn’t matter.

So, the socialite pulled out a long, slender cigarette, lit it, and placed it in Gu Chen’s mouth.

Gu Chen took a deep drag, then thanked the socialite again. ”What’s your name?”

”My name is Yin Qiushuang,” the socialite replied. ”My purse and clothes are stained with your blood. I definitely can’t wear them anymore. You’ll have to compensate me.”

”Don’t worry. You helped me this time, so I’ll thank you properly.

You can add me on WeChat. Just send me the cost later, and I’ll transfer the money to you,” Gu Chen said.

”Oh, thank you so much!” The socialite was overjoyed. ’I can’t believe Young Master Gu Chen is so generous; he didn’t even ask how much I’d want.’

After they added each other on WeChat, the socialite’s attitude became even more eager, and she started bringing him tea and water.

Although Gu Chen didn’t drink any, that didn’t stop her from trying.

”Why did Yu Qiming hit you?

No, I still don’t even understand why Yu Qiming hit me, let alone crippled my right leg.

Those two attack-dog bodyguards were truly vicious.”

Meng Fan ground his teeth in anger, his resentment for Yu Qiming overflowing.

At the luxury car club’s party today,

at least seventy or eighty percent of all the young masters, heiresses, and socialites in Haitong City were present.

The news that Meng Fan’s leg was broken by Yu Qiming

had probably already spread throughout Haitong City’s upper circles by now. It was an utter humiliation, a complete loss of face.

”The reason is simple.

You’re used to throwing your weight around with Yu Qiming, but he has never once considered you a friend.

In his eyes, rich kids like you and me are nothing more than obedient dogs under his command.

Why do you think I’m the president of the luxury car club?

It’s because if anything goes wrong with the club, he can immediately push me out to take the fall.

Then, whatever trouble the club is in will be easily solved.

If one president of the luxury car club falls,

Yu Qiming can just prop up a second, and a third.

I’m sure you know this in your heart.

All these years, everyone has called me ’President’ to my face,

but the true master of the luxury car club has always been, and will always be, Yu Qiming,” Gu Chen said, his face devoid of expression.

Although Meng Fan understood this, he was still unwilling to accept it. ”Of course, I know all that. I’m not an idiot. Yu Qiming has always been arrogant as hell. The number of people in all of Haitong City he considers friends can be counted on one hand.

But...”

Before Meng Fan could finish, Gu Chen cut him off. ”But this time, you were helping him, acting on his behalf, and he still had you beaten, right?”

”Of course! Yes! Isn’t that exactly it?” Meng Fan said furiously.

”It’s because you wanted to use Yu Qiming’s power to deal with that Young Master He, but you didn’t know that Young Master He is Chu He,” Gu Chen said coolly.

”You believe that?” Meng Fan scoffed.

But seeing that Gu Chen wasn’t joking, and considering Yu Qiming’s uncharacteristic behavior this time, Meng Fan asked again in disbelief, ”Is it really true?”

”What else could it be? If it weren’t true, why would Yu Qiming move against you?

Do you think it’s over now that you’ve taken a beating?

When I was coming here, Yu Qiming had already invited Chu He into a private room to talk.

Yu Qiming will definitely have to pay a price for what he did to Sun Canxing and his family.

And who do you think will be offered up as the scapegoat this time?

After all, Sun Canxing’s mother runs a stall on that food street your family owns,

and you helped out quite a bit to make Yu Qiming’s plan a success.”

Gu Chen gave Meng Fan a deep look.

At this, Meng Fan even forgot the pain in his leg.

He sat bolt upright on the hospital bed, his mouth hanging open.

Then, with a horrified expression, he said, ”Yu Qiming wouldn’t really make me the scapegoat, would he?”

”It’s not impossible, is it?” Gu Chen retorted.

Meng Fan’s face grew even paler.

He asked in disbelief, ”But why would Chu He come to a small, third-tier city like ours,

and why did I have to be the one to run into him?”

”Who told you to spend all your time sucking up to Yu Qiming?

How many depraved things have you helped him do over the years?

You could have just stayed out of most of it,

but no, you insisted on being at his beck and call.

A man like that is a wolf. You do too much for him, and when the time comes,

he’ll discard you like a useless chess piece,” Gu Chen said.

The doctors and nurses in the medical room went about their business, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

They had overheard the affairs of these wealthy young masters, and any unusual reaction could bring a world of trouble down on them.
