At first, Yu Chao could still shout, but later he even had difficulty speaking.
Upon seeing Yu Chao's appearance, the bodyguard quickly stepped forward to stop Gu Zheng.
"Young Master, we can't keep fighting like this, otherwise..."
Even without the bodyguard saying anything more, Gu Zheng understood what he meant.
"Don't worry, he won't die."
He promised Xia Ran that he wouldn't do anything illegal.
Gu Zheng took the wet wipes handed to him by the bodyguard and wiped his hands clean before looking at Yu Chao.
"You're not worthy of making me kneel. Yu Chao, if your parents knew what you'd done, what do you think their reaction would be?"
Gu Zheng has never been a kind-hearted person, let alone what Yu Chao did to Xia Ran. If he didn't rub salt into Yu Chao's wounds, he wouldn't be Gu Zheng.
He had someone investigate, and Yu Chao is usually a very filial son.
If his parents knew what he had done, they would probably be devastated.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chao finally looked up at Gu Zheng, his eyes filled with boundless hatred.
A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, making him look extremely disheveled.
"This is my own business, it has nothing to do with my parents!"
"Is that so?" Gu Zheng sneered. "But I'm going to tell them anyway."
"Yu Chao, what do you think your parents will feel if they know what you look like now? After all, you are their only son."
"You dare!" Yu Chao roared, the blood at the corner of his mouth seeming to seep even more.
Gu Zheng looked down at Yu Chao as if he were looking at trash.
"Why wouldn't I dare? If anyone dares to do anything bad to Xia Ran, I can make that person wish they were dead."
Yu Chao threw the tissue in his hand at Yu Chao's face.
"Besides, if you want to compete with me, you're really not qualified. You don't actually think that with your education, salary, or your insignificant little company, you can compete with me, do you? That's ridiculous."
"Let me tell you, even if ten more small companies like yours came along, they would be insignificant in my eyes, not even enough to cover the salaries of my employees. So, don't be so arrogant, because you really don't have that kind of power."
Whether it was because of Gu Zheng's words or something else, Yu Chao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Gu Zheng…” Yu Chao suddenly grinned, and his bleeding teeth seemed strangely unsettling.
But Gu Zheng didn't find it creepy at all; on the contrary, he found it extremely disgusting.
"So what if you have that much money? Do you think Xia Ran will still be with you? Do you think he'll still like you? It's impossible. He will never like you again!"
"So all your efforts have been in vain! You can forget about getting back together with Xia Ran! You can forget about being with Xia Ran!"
Yu Chao originally thought he would see Gu Zheng furious, but to his surprise, Gu Zheng did not react at all and his face remained indifferent.
“This is between him and me, it has nothing to do with you. You should be thinking about your own affairs.”
Gu Zheng checked the time and realized that he had been out for quite a while, and his child was still waiting for him at home.
He glanced at the bodyguard and said,
"You should know what to say when you take him to the police station."
Bodyguard: "Don't worry, young master, we know what to do. After all, this is just self-defense."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng said nothing more and turned to leave the old house. As for Yu Chao's shout behind him that it had nothing to do with his parents, Gu Zheng paid no attention to it.
So now you're thinking about having nothing to do with your parents? When Yu Chao kidnapped Xia Ran, did he ever think about how Grandpa Xia felt?
After leaving, Gu Zheng got into the car and had the driver take him home.
The doors of the two adjacent courtyard houses were both closed.
Gu Zheng stood at Xia Ran's door for a while, but in the end, he didn't knock.
Even a child can control his emotions and stay away from Xia Ran, so how could he be inferior to a child?
Just as Gu Zheng was about to turn and leave, the door was opened.
A hint of anticipation appeared in Gu Zheng's eyes as he turned to look, only to find that the person who opened the door was Da Zhuang.
Chapter 268 They've Come Catching Up!
Gu Zheng's expression turned colder. Da Zhuang clearly saw Gu Zheng's mood, so he simply curled his lip and said,
"Don't think I wanted to come see you. I just went out to buy some things."
Gu Zheng's disdainful look just now seemed to be the same as how much he wanted to see Gu Zheng.
He wasn't even willing to watch it!
Da Zhuang closed the door and was about to leave when Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask a question.
"How is Xia Ran? Is there anything else bothering her?"
Da Zhuang paused for a moment. "Don't worry, he's perfectly fine. As long as you don't bother him anymore, he'll be just as good as ever."
After saying that, Dazhuang left. Gu Zheng stood there for a while, glanced in the direction of Xia Ran's house, and then turned around and went back to the house next door.
When Gu Zheng returned, the child was sitting in the yard, lost in thought. Seeing him come back, the child rushed into Gu Zheng's arms and asked,
"Big Daddy, have you finished your business?"
"Yes, it's done." Gu Zheng looked down at the child.
The father and son looked at each other, neither of them speaking.
Because the matter is now complete, it means that they...
Gu Chen hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"So...should we go back?"
Gu Zheng did not answer Gu Chen immediately. The matter was over, and they were indeed going back, but he was reluctant to leave.
Gu Chen's eyes gradually reddened.
"Big Daddy, let's go back. Let's not disturb Little Daddy's life here. He can be happier without us."
"Okay." Gu Zheng, who hadn't answered before, replied immediately after hearing this.
"Let's pack our things and leave in a bit."
In reality, they didn't have much to pack; it was just an excuse for him to stay a little longer.
Moreover, he needs to completely resolve the issues between him and the government before he can leave.
Thinking about Yu Chao's matter, Gu Zheng also thought of Gu En. Judging from the things Gu En had done before, he felt something was wrong with Gu En's quietness these past two days.
The person who was assigned to follow Gu En said that Gu En stayed in the house the whole time, and even her meals were takeout.
Also, is Gu En involved in Yu Chao's kidnapping?
Gu Zheng couldn't find any connection between the two, but he inexplicably felt that there might be a relationship between them.
Gu Zheng took the child back to the room, and then called the person who was following Gu En to ask questions and confirm that Gu En had not come out at all.
However, Gu Zheng was still not entirely at ease, so he directly ordered someone to investigate whether Gu En and Yu Chao had any contact.
If they wait for the outcome of this matter, then it will be virtually impossible for them to leave today, so they will have to stay another night.
However, to Gu Zheng's surprise, He Xiu arrived before they even left.
Looking at He Xiu in front of him, Gu Zheng frowned and asked,
Why are you still here? Didn't you already go back?
He Xiu: "The police station here encountered a person who was suspected of having a mental illness. There aren't many professional psychologists here, so the police station asked their superiors to find someone. I happened to be at the hospital when I heard about it, so I came over."
He Xiu's expression was calm, but it wasn't hard to see the joy in his eyes.
After all, this was another opportunity for him to see Dazhuang.
Although it hadn't been long since they last met, He Xiu dreamed of Da Zhuang almost every night.
Upon hearing He Xiu's words, Gu Zheng had a guess in his mind.
"Is the person you're looking at named Yu Chao?"
“Yes.” He Xiu was not surprised at all that Gu Zheng knew about this. “I didn’t expect it to really be your doing. When I saw that the plaintiff was Gu Zheng in the file, I thought it was just someone with the same name.”
However, what He Xiu didn't say was that he recognized Gu Zheng's handwriting, so he was certain that the person was the Gu Zheng he knew, which was why he came here after leaving the police station.
"Does he have psychological problems?" Gu Zheng frowned. "And if he does have psychological problems, does the police station really need to find him a psychologist?"
"I don't know, I'm just doing my job." He Xiu's tone remained indifferent.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the child next to him and asked,
Why didn't the child go to Xia Ran? Why did he choose to stay with you instead?
Upon hearing this, both Gu Zheng and Gu Chen's expressions changed slightly.
As a psychologist, He Xiu could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
"Never mind, I'll go check next door first. Yu Chao told me to tell Xia Ran something, and I'll talk to you properly when I get back from there."
Gu Zheng: "He wants you to tell Xia Ran something? What is it?"
He Xiu: "I'm sorry, this is my patient's privacy, and I would never tell you."
"He Xiu!" Gu Zheng called out to He Xiu in a heavy tone, but He Xiu was not afraid of him at all. He left after saying a few words.
"This is my patient's privacy, and nothing you say will change that. But you have to treat me to dinner later, since I've helped you a lot before."
Gu Zheng exuded a chilling aura. It seemed that he had gone too far in dealing with Yu Chao. Otherwise, how could Yu Chao have dared to send someone to deliver a message to Xia Ran?
"Big Dad, what were you talking about? Who relayed a message to Little Dad? Was it that Yu Chao?" Gu Chen asked from the side.
Gu Zheng: "This is an adult matter. You shouldn't ask so many questions, you're just a child."
Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, as he had promised his stepfather that he would be obedient.
He Xiu walked to Xia Ran's door and knocked. Thinking about meeting Da Zhuang soon, He Xiu couldn't help but feel a little nervous and anxious.
He chuckled silently to himself. He was already in his twenties, so why was he still acting like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid?
