Chapter 631: How Dare You Touch My Girlfriend?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In the VIP ward of Jin City Military Hospital, the warm March sun filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a comforting glow upon the otherwise sterile room.

Xiao Yize, typically composed, felt a surge of excitement. “Miss Gu, my mother just blinked. Does that mean she’s on the verge of waking?”

Gu Jin, hands tucked into her white coat pockets, maintained a clinical demeanor. “Blinking and other reflexes can occur in a vegetative state. It’s not indicative of awakening.”

“However, your mother’s physical indicators show promising progress. She may awaken within ten days to six months.”

“During this phase, patients may gradually regain consciousness and hear voices. It might be beneficial for you and your family to discuss matters she cares about. This could aid in her recovery,” Gu Jin suggested.

Xiao Yize nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Miss Gu.”

“It’s my responsibility.”

As Gu Jin departed from the ward, Xiao Yize felt a pang of disappointment. He had hoped to escort her back, but she declined his offer.

Disappointed, Xiao Yize couldn’t help but reflect on their previous encounter on the rooftop. He had expected a closer bond to form between them, yet even his simple gesture was rebuffed.

However, his disappointment was interrupted by Gu Jin’s unexpected explanation, a departure from her usual aloofness. “I still have some matters to attend to,” she stated curtly.

Xiao Yize was taken aback, a small smile creeping onto his lips. “Then, please take care, Miss Gu.”

To his surprise, Gu Jin responded, “Yes.”

Alone beside his mother’s bedside, Xiao Yize clasped her frail hand, his voice tinged with emotion. “Mom, please wake up soon. Dad and I are eagerly awaiting your return.”

“And Doctor Gu… she’s someone I’m trying to win over…”

As night fell, a kaleidoscope of colorful neon lights adorned the cityscape, casting an enchanting glow upon the streets.

Gu Jin stepped into the internet cafe and spotted Su Ye.

“How’s the progress?” she inquired, her voice crisp and businesslike.

Su Ye, seated before a computer, paused his meal of old jars of pickled vegetables and beef noodles in a paper bowl. Upon hearing Gu Jin’s familiar tone, he swiftly wiped his mouth with a tissue and replied, “Boss, I’ve dug up everything.”

“We indeed had a breach in security at the Trafficking Research Institute. Professor Lin has already expelled the culprit and handed them over to the authorities. Qiu Baizhou has taken the case, and I assure you, that individual will spend a lifetime behind bars.”

Gu Jin nodded tersely. “Inform Lin to tighten security measures to prevent a recurrence.”

“Consider it done, Boss,” Su Ye affirmed.

With a click of his tongue, Su Ye sighed. It was pitiful, really. The culprit had not only betrayed their employer but had also peddled counterfeit medicine to their family.

“Any recent signals?” Gu Jin pressed on.

Su Ye shook his head. “No trace of UO yet.”

After their discussion, Su Ye suddenly gestured towards a corner of the internet café, a smile playing on his lips. “Boss, take a look at who’s over there.”

Following his gaze, Gu Jin spotted Gu Pei.

Gu Pei was surrounded by a group of thugs, with his girlfriend, Xu Niannian, by his side.

In a protective gesture, Gu Pei pulled Xu Niannian behind him, his voice laced with anger as he addressed the hooligans. “How dare you lay a hand on my girlfriend? Have you lost all sense of self-preservation?”

Xu Niannian stood behind him, her face drained of color.

“Your girlfriend?” one of the thugs scoffed.

“Ask her who she belongs to.”

“Kid, mind your own business and go play your games. Don’t stick your nose in other people’s affairs!”

The young delinquents chuckled amongst themselves.

“You’re the one who’s asking for trouble!”

With a swift punch aimed at Gu Pei, a young man initiated the altercation.

Gu Pei, having earned a reputation as a tough figure at No.1 Middle School, was no stranger to confrontation. He swiftly evaded the blow and retaliated with a kick, shielding Xu Niannian. “Back off!”

“Looks like you know some moves,” one of the thugs remarked, his companions now emboldened. With exchanged glances, they closed in on Gu Pei.
