Chapter 444: 443 Do you still remember me

With Luo Haofeng’s words, the reporters below were even more confused.

They wrote about Wen Ran, so how did it lead to Mo Xiuchen’s health? It sounded like, because they had exposed Wen Ran’s birth, they had turned Mo Xiuchen from a healthy man back into his previous impotent man.”

“President Luo, we don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Someone boldly spoke out, feeling very wronged.

“You certainly won’t understand.” These words were said by Qin Mu.

His voice lacked the sentimentality of Luo Haofeng or the warmth of Wen Jin, and didn’t have the severity of Gu Kai’s earlier speech. Rather, it was cool, indifferent, seemingly unrelated to him.

He was like a cold observer, or even one of them.

On his handsome face, chiseled as if from a blade, there was no visible emotion. But his calm and indifferent appearance, every word he spoke, was like a hammer hitting people’s hearts: “The truly sick person is Mo Xiuchen, the current president of the MS Group, not Wen Ran.”

His narrowed cold eyes scanned the surprised crowd below the stage. He reached out to the chief doctor sitting next to Gu Kai. The doctor gave him two diagnoses and a lab report. He frowned and faced the reporters below, his voice ringing out coldly: “Here is Xiuchen’s medical report and lab results. It clearly says that he has a lasting condition due to past injuries, which could result in him being unable to reproduce for the rest of his life.”

“Before you wrote today’s story, Wen Ran was already taking herbal medication with Mo Xiuchen every day. Initially, this was just their private life. If it was anyone else, even if they chose not to have children, nobody would pry, and certainly, nobody would ridicule them.”

Qin Mu’s stern gaze made everyone feel guilty. Some were still shocked at his words, unable to understand why Wen Ran would take herbal medications alongside Mo Xiuchen.

“If it wasn’t for today’s leak, Xiuchen’s ‘sickness’ wouldn’t need to be known by everyone in G City. His love with Wen Ran would not have been disturbed. After today’s press conference, I hope everyone can be a bit kinder, a bit more truthful. There’s no need for you to exaggerate when you write; reporting the facts will suffice.”

A sudden ringing of a mobile phone interrupted Gu Yan’s contemplation. After briefly glancing at the screen where Qin Mu was speaking, he picked up the remote, slightly lowered the volume, and looked at his phone.

There were no numbers on the screen.

No name either, just the words ‘incoming call’ after a row of empty spaces, conspicuously displayed.

Gu Yan squinted his eyes, pressed the answer key, and spoke deeply: “Hello!”

“Gu Yan!”

A cold voice came through the phone, layered with mocking, boasting, and a raspy voice sculpted by the passage of time.

So unfamiliar, yet so familiar that he could tell who the person was just with a call of his name.

The expression on Gu Yan’s face changed instantly, the tall man stood abruptly from the leather sofa: “Fu Jingyi, it’s you!”

Even as ashes, he would recognize this lunatic.

“Haha, Gu Yan, you still remember me. It’s been worthwhile for me to remember you all these years. What do you think of today’s headline, are you satisfied?”

On the other end of the phone, Fu Jingyi’s triumphant laughter sounded harsh to Gu Yan’s ears. The anger in his heart erupted like a torrential flood. The usually calm and wise man now showed all his emotions in his stormy eyes: “Fu Jingyi, if you dare, come at me. Hurting my daughter, you’re less than an animal…”

“Keep yelling. No matter what you say, it won’t change the fact that your daughter can’t have children. If my experiments had been successful years ago, not only would your daughter be unable to bear children, but she also wouldn’t have lived past thirty. Haha, have you noticed…”

The more Fu Jingyi laughed, the more it hurt Gu Yan.

The rage in his eyes was instantly replaced by an overwhelming pain. His forehead veins bulged, his hand clutching the phone turned white, but he felt no pain.

He wished he could tear Fu Jingyi apart, how could he be so cruel back then, how could he have done it?

“Gu Yan, when you snatched Yu Han from me, I said I would make you wish you were dead. This call is to remind you that the game isn’t over, it’s just beginning. Watch your daughter and son carefully… Haha…”

“Fu…” Fu Jingyi hung up the call. Gu Yan’s expression went through a series of changes; staring at the phone screen where the call had ended, the anger in his heart was unstoppable.

When Gu Kai returned to the hospital, he pushed open the office door and found his father sitting dazedly on the sofa, lost in thought, oblivious to his entrance.

A commercial was playing on the LCD screen.

Concern flashed in his eyes as he walked over and softly called: “Dad!”

Gu Yan slowly raised his head, his firm face expressionless as he looked at him in silence.

“Dad, what’s happened?”

Gu Kai sat down next to Gu Yan, looked at the LCD screen, and then explained gently: “The press conference has ended. Tomorrow, the newspapers will clear up the rumors about Ranran. Although Xiuchen has become another topic, it’s also laying the groundwork for the next step.”

“Ah Kai!”

Gu Yan finally spoke, startling Gu Kai.

He had aged suddenly. Not his appearance, his voice.

Gu Kai’s eyes hardened, calling instinctively: “Dad, what’s happened?”

“Fu Jingyi called.”

Her father’s narration was unusually calm and completely devoid of anger or emotion.

Gu Kai’s face went pale, his eyes wide in alarm: “Dad, are you saying Fu Jingyi called you? Where is he now, what did he say?”

They had been searching for him for so many years, but he never appeared. Now, he had called her father. Without a doubt, this call was for mockery, for boasting about his ‘achievements’.

“He said, the game hasn’t ended yet, it’s just begun,” Gu Yan said, repeating Fu Jingyi’s provocation word by word.

“Dad, don’t believe him. Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi are currently wanted by the police. Once they are caught, Fu Jingyi will be exposed. He won’t be able to cause any big issues in these few days, he only wants to worry you,” Gu Kai’s voice was decisive but cold.

He won’t let Fu Jingyi get his way again, no matter what schemes he has, he won’t succeed. He would protect the hospital, his family, and Ranran.

Gu Yan looked at Gu Kai’s young and handsome face, after a while, he spoke slowly: “Ah Kai, be careful these days, and when Xiuchen calls later, tell him to take good care of Ranran as well.”
