Chapter 461: Chapter 462: Can’t Bear to

“Mama,” Xiao Shumiao sat next to Lingyue, looking up at him with her little face, “Brother Xiaoyue wants to go home, and I want to go home too. We miss Lu Maomao and the others.”

“Well…” Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu, “Can Xiaoyue go home now?”

Gu Junzhu nodded: “Yes.”

The wounds on Lingyue looked severe, but they were actually all superficial. There was a family doctor at home, so taking care of these minor injuries was not a problem.

Even though they were staying in a high-ranking ward which was nicer than a presidential suite, it was still not as comfortable as being at home.

Since both children wanted to go home, Gu Junzhu didn’t hesitate, and asked Gu Chi to handle the paperwork.

Ye Xingbei helped the two children get dressed and pack their things.

Gu Junzhu asked Senior Master Xiang, “Uncle Xiang, why don’t you come back with me?”

Senior Master Xiang hesitated and shook his head, “Forget it, I won’t go. You’re a married man now, and your young family might feel uncomfortable with me there. I’ll go stay with your father for a while; I haven’t seen him in a long time.”

“Okay,” Gu Junzhu nodded, “As for Xiang Jiechao, Uncle Xiang, what’s your plan?”

Gao Yulan, along with her two daughters and one son, had been locked up in detention center. After trial, they would be put in prison.

As for Xiang Jiechao’s case, Senior Master Xiang said he would handle it, and didn’t ask for Gu Junzhu’s help.

Sorrow flashed across Senior Master Xiang’s face, and he let out a heavy sigh, “I will submit it to the police and lawyers. Let them decide the punishment; I won’t kick a man when he’s down nor will I bend the law in anyone’s favor.”

Gu Junzhu said, “Kidnapping is punishable by at least ten years of imprisonment or life imprisonment, but the crime committed by Xiang Jiechao is not kidnapping, it’s premeditated murder.”

“The two kidnappers that I caught confessed that Xiang Jiechao wanted Xiaoyue’s life. After killing Xiaoyue, he intended to incinerate his body, so Xiaoyue would completely disappear from this world.”

“When they went to kidnap Xiaoyue, Xiao Shumiao happened to be with him. Seeing Xiao Shumiao and Xiaoyue looking so beautiful and well-dressed, they concluded both children must come from wealthy families. So they decided to kidnap both.”

“After kidnapping Xiao Shumiao and Xiaoyue, they took them into the mountains. They planned to find out about their backgrounds first, demand a ransom from their families, and then kill them. That way, they just need to take action once, and they could get two amounts of money.”

Senior Master Xiang became both sad and enraged, his thinking slowed down, “Two amounts of money?”

“Yes,” Gu Junzhu said, “They planned to get one amount by asking us for a ransom. After getting the ransom, they would kill the kids and then ask for another amount from Xiang Jiechao.”

“Beasts! Beasts!” Thinking of the bitter truth he had just found out about his biological grandson, and how he had almost lost him forever, Senior Master Xiang ground his teeth in hatred, “What about those two kidnappers?”

“The two kidnappers are still in my custody. I’ll see to it that they are well taken care of,” Gu Junzhu said, “According to their confessions, there were three of them. The one who was out scouting managed to escape, but that’s not a problem. He can’t run far. My men are definitely going to track him down.”

Senior Master Xiang nodded weakly, his face grey with despair, “Jiechao… he…”

His lips trembled terribly due to emotional turmoil.

After all, that was the son he had loved and cared for in every possible way from childhood.

For so many years, he had no idea that Xiang Jiechao was not his flesh and blood and that he had poured all his guilt and love for his dead wife onto Xiang Jiechao.
