But if he left Lin Ji behind, he would definitely find fault with Gu Tingxiao, which made him hesitant. He didn't want his granddaughter's ward to be filled with chaos because of the two of them.

"I originally wanted Xiaoxi's fourth brother to stay, but he..."

"Grandpa, then let Fourth Brother stay!" Gu Tingxiao of course knew what Grandpa Lin wanted to say next, so he interrupted him and nodded in agreement.

"That's fine! Let him stay and help take care of it."

"Listen to me, little brat. Take good care of your little sister. If anything unexpected happens, you won't have to come back to this house."

After Mr. Lin finished speaking to Gu Tingxiao, he looked at Lin Ji with a serious look on his face.

"Grandpa, I understand. I will definitely protect my sister well, unlike someone else!" Lin Ji said with a sarcastic tone. Although he knew that Gu Tingxiao could not be blamed for what happened to his sister, it did not prevent him from disliking him.

"Speak nicely to me... or I'll find someone else to stay." Old Master Lin glared at Lin Ji. This brat really dared to say anything. He didn't even look at the current situation. His family is still here!

What Grandpa Lin didn't know was that even though Lin Ji said this, no one in the Du family, including Mother Gu, intended to blame Lin Ji, because they all thought it was their fault that Lin Xi was now lying in the hospital.

"I understand, Grandpa." Lin Ji lowered his head and put aside all his dissatisfaction with Gu Tingxiao.

"My dear, is this arrangement okay?"

When Mr. Lin saw Lin Ji's look, he nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Mr. Du, who was sitting next to him, for his opinion.

"No problem, no problem." Old Master Du waved his hand. Even if he had any problem, he couldn't say it out loud! It was the Du family who was in the wrong first. It was good that the Lin family didn't make trouble. How could they dare to have any problem?

"Okay, then let's go back! It's not a good look with so many people crowded here, so let the two of them take care of it here." Grandpa Lin stood up first after saying this. Although he really wanted to stay and take care of them personally, he wanted to live a few more years to take care of his great-grandchildren!

"Okay..." Mr. Du also stood up and asked everyone else to go home.

Du's mother and Gu's mother didn't want to leave, but Gu Tingxiao finally persuaded them to go back. In the end, only Gu Tingxiao and Lin Ji were left in the ward staring at each other, and Lin Xi was sleeping on the hospital bed.

"Fourth brother, are you hungry? I'll go buy some food."

The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Gu Tingxiao spoke first.

"Okay, go ahead! Buy more!" Lin Ji had no intention of being polite to him. If it wasn't the wrong timing, he would have wanted to order food on the spot!

"Then fourth brother, please take good care of Xiaoxi. I will be back soon." Although Gu Tingxiao was reluctant to leave, he finally walked out of the ward with big strides. After leaving the hospital, he went to the state-owned restaurant.

He was sitting and waiting for his meal when he suddenly heard two men at the next table talking in low voices.

"Where on earth did that bitch hide?"

"How should I know? Didn't we agree not to mention this outside? Aren't you afraid that someone might hear it?

"What are you afraid of? That bitch killed our boss and injured so many of our brothers. Don't you want to help them get revenge?

"Of course I want to, but now I haven't found anyone, right?"

The two of them were talking in a low voice, unaware that everything they said was heard by Gu Tingxiao. For some reason, he always felt that the bitch they were talking about was his wife, and murderous intent flashed across Gu Tingxiao's eyes.

If Sun Jing were here, he would definitely recognize that these two men were the ones who stayed at his house that night.

"How about we go to the hospital and look for her? Maybe she's been sent to the hospital."

"Okay, we'll go and take a look later, but I have to remind you first, don't talk about this outside all the time. Even if you don't want to live, I still do!" Mo Dahe's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and he couldn't understand why he had such a stupid teammate.

"I got it. I won't say anything more, okay?" The man lowered his head. To be honest, he was still a little afraid of Mo Dahe. Ever since the death of their boss, the remaining brothers had been discussing behind their backs whether Mo Dahe would become their new boss, but no one had broken the window paper first.

Gu Tingxiao listened quietly, but the blue veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible. He wished he could catch the two of them right now, but he also knew that now was not the time, so he could only endure it.

"Number nine." The waiter on the other end called out the number.

"I'm here." Gu Tingxiao glanced at the number plate in his hand, then walked over quickly and took the food in his hand. "Thank you!" After saying that, Gu Tingxiao walked towards the hospital.

After eating, the two people from the state-owned restaurant also headed towards the hospital. If Gu Tingxiao looked back at this time, he would definitely see the two people just twenty meters away from him.

"Fourth brother, come and eat." Gu Tingxiao entered the ward and put the food on the table.

"Yeah!" Lin Ji did not make any sarcastic remarks to him. He sat down and started eating. He was indeed hungry.

"I may have met someone who hurt Xiaoxi." Gu Tingxiao thought about it and decided to tell him what he heard in the state-owned restaurant.

"Where are the people? Where are they?" Lin Ji asked excitedly as the chopsticks in his hand fell onto the table with a "click".

"State-owned hotel, but I think they are on their way to the hospital, they..." Gu Tingxiao told everything he heard.

"If what you said is true, it must be those two bastards. I'll go and catch them." Lin Ji rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out.

"Fourth brother, wait!" Gu Tingxiao promptly stopped Lin Ji who was about to go out to catch someone.

"Why are you holding me? Now that we have finally found the person, it would be fine if you don't catch him immediately, but you are still holding me." Lin Ji was immediately furious, and his dissatisfaction with Gu Tingxiao emerged again, and this thought kept growing.

"Fourth brother, listen to me, I want to kill them more than anyone else, but we can't do that now. According to what they said, they have other accomplices. If we rashly go to arrest them now, we might be seen by their accomplices, which will only alert the enemy. It will then be difficult to catch them all." Gu Tingxiao explained patiently.

"Then what do you think we should do?" After hearing what Gu Tingxiao said, Lin Ji gradually calmed down and planned to listen to what Gu Tingxiao had planned first.

"We can do this..." Gu Tingxiao whispered his thoughts to Lin Ji.
