Chapter 5: Encountering Evil The head of the Gu family was lying inside, with his private doctor helping Chen Hui stabilize her leg and check her other physical conditions. The doctor turned to Mr. Gu, who was standing by the side, and said, “Mrs. Gu doesn’t have any major issues. The injury on her foot was treated in time, and in a few days, it should be fine.” Gu Xuesong said, “Thank you, doctor. Xiao Ying, see the doctor out.” He unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat beside his wife’s bed, his expression filled with concern. “I told you to rest at home properly, but you insisted on running around. Do you know how anxious I was when I heard about the incident? If something had happened to you, how would I go on?” Gu Xuesong, in his fifties, still looked well-maintained, without a single strand of white hair, and was one of the most respected Confucian businessmen in his circle. What outsiders didn’t know was that, while the Gu family’s patriarch had an unlimited reputation outside, he was a true “wife slave” at home. When his wife had an accident, he was so scared that his heart rate became irregular. Fortunately, after the checkup, there was no problem, and his heart finally calmed down.@@@@ “I’m fine, really. Don’t worry too much.” Chen Hui reached out to pat her husband’s hand, sighing a little at the experience of the day. “I didn’t expect that at my age, a little child could save me. Xuesong, we can’t be ungrateful. Please find that child for me. I want to thank her in person.” Gu Xuesong frowned. “We will thank her, but with your current condition, don’t worry about it. I’ll have someone handle it.” For the Gu family, money and power were never a problem, and thanking a little child would be easy. However, Chen Hui shook her head. “It’s different. I have a connection with that child. If you don’t agree, I’ll find someone myself.” “Fine, fine. I’ll take care of it for you,” Gu Xuesong agreed reluctantly. He knew his wife’s character well—if he didn’t agree, she would definitely go ahead and do it herself. Just as the couple was talking, a figure rushed into the room in a panic. “Mom, I heard you had a car accident. Are you alright?” It was a young man of around seventeen or eighteen, dressed in a very youthful manner, with messy yellow hair. He was out of breath from running too fast. “Why are you making such a fuss?” Gu Xuesong said, his refined face almost unable to hold back a grimace. He never expected that his son, who had returned, was not here to show gratitude, but rather seemed to be seeking revenge. Gu Yu, used to his father’s sarcastic remarks, simply ignored them. “Alright, you two, do you have to argue every day?” Chen Hui clearly understood that while her husband and youngest son could get along at first, after the younger son insisted on entering the entertainment industry and becoming a star idol, they had become enemies. Every time they met, they would clash, and nothing could stop them. “Xiao Yu, I’m fine. Weren’t you filming out of town? Why did you suddenly come back?” “I wrapped up filming yesterday. The company had some urgent matters, so they called me back.” Seeing that his mother was fine, Gu Yu finally felt relieved. He was about to sit down when his father stopped him. “Everyone out, give your mom some rest.” Knowing his son’s temper, Gu Xuesong knew that if Gu Yu stayed in the room, he wouldn’t stop talking. His wife wouldn’t be able to rest properly. “Hey, old Gu, that’s not fair. I just... Hey! Hey, a true man never mentions the back of his collar!” Gu Yu protested, but was cut off. Gan Xiaoying was furious. She had been guarding outside, and with so many bodyguards in the house, who could have silently sneaked in to strangle the madam like this? If the force had lasted any longer... Her heart raced, and she couldn’t imagine what her master would think when he saw his wife like this! It wasn’t a dream! It was real! Chen Hui’s heart sank. The gray figure in her dream definitely wasn’t something good! It hadn’t been able to kill her this time, but it surely wouldn’t give up. After all, she clearly remembered the malicious stare as it retreated. She survived this time, but what about next time? Too many doubts flooded her mind, but suddenly, a little voice popped up in her head. “Use the charm, remember to come find me!” Yes! The charm! The charm had saved her! It was the little child from earlier who had given it to her, and she had told her to find her. Did that mean she knew how to solve her current problem? Chen Hui felt like she had grasped a lifeline, and she hurriedly looked at Xiaoying, urgently asking, “Where’s my husband?” She remembered that before she fell asleep, her husband had gone to find someone. Gan Xiaoying was trembling from fear and said, “Master... he went out with the young master. They said they were going to find the little girl who saved you earlier. They’ve been gone for a while, they should be back soon.” “Madam, are you... alright?” Chen Hui took a deep breath. “I’m fine. Go call him and have him come back quickly.” She then glanced around at the disordered room and suddenly changed her mind. “Let someone else make the call. Stay here with me.” She wasn’t sure where the gray figure was hiding, but just the thought that it might still be in the room made her body shiver.
