847 A Million Times for You 209 (1/2)

She continued, ”We can leave in peace. Xiaoning, listen to me. I have a safe inside a cabinet in my bedroom. It contains all of our life savings as well as the title deeds to all the property we own and the household registers. I can't use them anymore. You may have all of those things. Move your name back to the Gu family household register, the other members of the family wouldn't dare to say anything with you around to take charge. Look after the Gu family on our behalf from now on. I trust you. Now that your father and I are gone, you're the only kin Beicheng has left, apart from Mingxi. This might increase the burden on your shoulders, but you're the only person I can depend on. Promise me, alright?”

An Xiaoning agreed, ”Okay. I promised Grandpa that I wouldn't leave the Gu family in the lurch during times of crisis. I'll make the same promise to you now.”

Mrs. Gu smiled with tears in her eyes and said, ”It was our blessing to have been able to acknowledge you as our goddaughter. Xiaoning, it's time for us to leave.”

An Xiaoning stood aside and watched as Mr. and Mrs. Gu waved her goodbye. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, at a complete loss for words.

She opened her eyes again and was greeted with the sight of a worried Jin Qingyan. She sat up straight and discovered that she was still in the Gu family mansion.

Needless to say, news of the mass murder in the Gu family mansion had made it onto the headlines.

Gu Dongcheng had gone ballistic and murdered his father and stepmother. He then severely wounded his half-brother and sister-in-law moments later. Things had escalated quickly and were blown out of proportion within a short period of time.

An Xiaoning and Jin Yiheng's names were initially registered under the Gu family's household register. However, she'd transferred both their names to Jin Qingyan's register after changing Jin Yiheng's name.

However, she'd obviously had to remove her name from his register after their divorce.

Hence, she'd done so and registered her name on an independent register.

”Qingyan… I need your help with something,” said An Xiaoning.

”What is it?”

She headed to Mrs. Gu's bedroom and fumbled about for the safe, which she then unlocked and opened using the passcode that Mrs. Gu had told her about.

She retrieved the household register and handed it to him. ”Transfer my name back under the Gu family's household register and remove the names of the deceased members. Don't let the media find out about this. I'll go to the hospital to visit Beicheng and Mingxi now.”

”Alright.”

By the time An Xiaoning arrived at the hospital, Lin Mingxi's parents were already there, and so was the hypocritical Lin Mingyuan, who was only there because she did not want to be criticized by netizens.

Besides, if Lin Mingxi and Gu Beicheng could not be rescued, Lin Mingxi's assets would be returned to Mr. and Mrs. Lin. Furthermore, she would become their only daughter who would inherit all their assets. Hence, she obviously had to make an appearance.

Although she had a merry plan in her head, things did not quite go the way she had wished for them to.

Gu Beicheng and Lin Mingxi had yet to be pushed out of the emergency unit when An Xiaoning arrived.

An Xiaoning appeared pale and ghastly, for the ritual had depleted most of her energy.

She was frail and haggard. There were a massive number of media and news reporters camping outside the hospital. Needless to say, everyone was concerned about the status of Gu Beicheng's life. If Gu Beicheng were to kick the bucket, there would be no one to take over the Gu Corporation.

Even if Lin Mingxi did not die, she would have to spend some time recuperating in the hospital and nursing her body back to health.

As with what happened when Jin Qingyan went missing during the tsunami, chaos would break out within the company if the main stakeholder were to be absent.

At this moment, An Xiaoning prayed that they could tide over the ordeal.
