Seeing this, John quickly went to pull Xi Cheng off. “Xi Cheng! Xi Cheng! Let go! Let go! She’ll die at this rate! Xi Cheng, let go!”
John used all his strength to pry Xi Cheng’s hands off. Air rushed down her throat, and Gu Man coughed violently as she sat on the ground weakly.
Xi Cheng was so angry he saw red. Even with John holding him back in a bear hug, he still swung his fists and feet at Gu Man. “What did you do? What did you do behind my back?” he roared at her.
Gu Man was terrified. She cried as she dodged Xi Cheng’s kicks and punches, “I didn’t! Xi Cheng, I didn’t do anything! I really didn’t! Believe me, I really haven’t done anything!”
Xi Cheng wasn’t in the mood to listen to her at all. He firmly believed that Gu Man was the culprit.
John tried his best to stop and hold Xi Cheng back despite his injuries, saying, “Xi Cheng! Young Master Xi Cheng! The most important thing now is to go to headquarters! You have to go explain yourself to headquarters! Mr. Shi is waiting for you there! So let’s go ASAP! Come on!”
John pushed and pulled Xi Cheng away, leaving Gu Man on her own.
Xi Cheng was still swearing up a storm when he walked out the hotel’s front door, anger not yet abated. John didn’t say a word. He endured the pain of his wounds and led his boss to the car.
When the car started up and got on the road, Xi Cheng took out his phone again and looked at the many missed calls on it. He called Lily back, but no one picked up. Xi Cheng was taken aback for a moment. He promptly called Lin Yu, but again, no one picked up.
John glanced at him but didn’t say anything. “John, turn the car around immediately. We’ll go to the hospital first,” Xi Cheng distractedly ordered before muttering to himself, “Why aren’t Lin Yu and Lily picking up?”
John momentarily hesitated before suggesting, “Maybe they went for a checkup and didn’t bring their phones with them?”
Xi Cheng shook his phone and replied, slightly anxious, “No way. Lin Yu is very meticulous; she would always have her phone with her! Quick! Turn the car around! We’re going to the hospital. I have an uneasy feeling about this!”
John paused and then began, “Young Master Xi Cheng, but headquarters—”
“My mom is the most important! No one’s more important than my mom!” Xi Cheng bellowed.
John’s mouth tightened into a thin line. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, turned the car around, and drove toward the hospital.
Kneeling on the ground, Gu Man’s mind wandered for a minute before she slowly got up with the help of the wall. A waitress came over and asked softly, “Miss Gu, are you alright?”
Gu Man shook her head. “Do you know where Young Master Long is?”
