After the departure of Jiang’s father, Jiang’s younger sister, Jiang’s mother, and other Jiang family mbers were also driven away by the old master Jiang.
Soon, only the old master of the Jiang family and a few bodyguards remained in the hall.
Staring at the departing backs of the Jiang family, Yu Shuo gritted his teeth, "Master, I also want to go have a look."
Gu Jin turned around and t the slightly reddened eyes of the young boy; the light in her eyes slightly dimd.
After a mont, she said, "Go ahead."
Gu Jin’s voice was gentle, yet it carried an unnoticeable sense of pity and sympathy.
Yu Shuo quickly followed the Jiang family mbers.
Just as he left, Yu Qingli entered Haijiang Hotel with his secretary and the Yu family’s escort team.
He headed straight for the old Jiang master, Qiu Qianghai, and Gu Jin, who were sitting on the sofa.
He first nodded to the old master Jiang, then inquired about the specific circumstances of Jiang Hanyi’s accident from Qiu Qianghai.
After understanding the entire situation, and hearing about the location where Gu Jin found Jiang Hanyi, along with what she said, Yu Qingli looked at Gu Jin.
"Miss Gu, is the situation really hopeless for Xiao Yi this ti?"
Upon hearing his brother-in-law recount Gu Jin’s words to the Jiang family, he still couldn’t accept it.
Jiang Hanyi had grown up under his watch, the child was smart, sensible, and much more obedient than his own Yu Shuo.
Gu Jin lowered her eyes and said slowly, "That’s what I saw; everything that could be done has been done. The rest depends on his fate and luck."
There are so things she couldn’t do, she had already tried her best.
Feeling the old Jiang master’s gaze upon her, Gu Jin didn’t want to et the look of anticipation in the elder’s eyes.
She wasn’t sure whether Jiang Hanyi was still alive.
Even if he was found now, he could either be a severely wounded, barely breathing youth, or a corpse.
Neither outco is good; both are enough to cause the Jiang family imnse grief.
Now it was up to the Jiang family to see if they could rescue him from the brink of life and death.
Qiu Qianghai and Yu Qingli’s expressions darkened upon hearing this, not towards Gu Jin but because they were worried and pained for Jiang Hanyi.
No one doubted Gu Jin’s words, but the result was hard to accept.
"Little, Little Ninth Master—"
The old master’s voice was low and hoarse.
Gu Jin sighed inwardly and raised her eyes, her gaze calm as she looked at the elder before her.
Her voice was full of pity and sympathy, yet devoid of warmth: "I’ve done all I could. It’s now up to the Jiang family to see if they can rescue Jiang Hanyi ahead of those people."
Those words were akin to sentencing Jiang Hanyi to death.
The old Jiang master slowly stood up, gripping his cane, and with everyone watching, he knelt onto the ground with a thud.
"This old man begs Little Ninth Master, begs you to save my little grandson!"
The old master’s cane was thrown to the ground.
"Old Jiang! What are you doing?"
Qiu Qianghai got up to help the old master Jiang.
Even Yu Qingli, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and walked to the elder’s side.
"Old Jiang, please get up first. Let’s sit down and talk about whatever it is."
While they helped the old master up, Gu Jin pulled An Mingji to stand up, avoiding the elder’s kneeling.
Her age and experience couldn’t bear the old master’s gesture.
Upon seeing Gu Jin step away, a trace of sorrow flashed in the old master’s eyes.
He didn’t stand up with the help of Qiu Qianghai and Yu Qingli, his eyes pleadingly looked at Gu Jin.
"I beg Little Ninth Master to save Xiao Yi. He is still so young, hasn’t married or had children, hasn’t seen the world outside Wanhai City. He is the youngest child of the Jiang family..."
As he spoke, the old master burst into tears of grief.
