Chapter 606: Which high-ranking official gave you this confidence?
When the two of them arrived at the hospital, the old lady from the Gao family was blocking the door of Du Zhi's ward, along with her two other sons.
However, the fact that both sides had bruises on their faces suggests that they had already fought.
"I've already said, this has nothing to do with you. If you continue to obstruct me, don't blame the Gao family for abusing our power!"
Old Mrs. Gao was no longer frail at all; when she got sarcastic and mean, she was no less sharp-tongued than the shrewish women in the countryside. Chu Xin clearly saw Yang Zheng quickly take a step back when she spoke, presumably to avoid the old woman's spittle.
"Heh, I didn't know your Gao family still had power and influence in Ning City. Tell me, which high-ranking official gave you that confidence!"
Outside the crowd of onlookers, as soon as Chu Xin's voice rang out, Old Madam Gao's face immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. She was all too familiar with that voice; how come that brat was always involved?
The second and third sons of the Gao family looked around, "Who is it? They've got quite the nerve to talk back!"
"No, I don't have a foul mouth like your family!" Chu Xin said, pushing through the crowd and entering. Zhou Yichen followed closely behind, looking more like a bodyguard protecting her than her leader.
Her posture in the crowd made people who didn't know the inside story think she was from the family of some leader. Her back was so straight, and she didn't seem scared at all. Could she be an official with an even higher position than the Gao family? Then... she must be from the capital.
When Old Madam Gao saw that it was indeed Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen, she was filled with anger and resentment. As a woman, she was already heartbroken that she couldn't help with the family's affairs, but she never expected that they would interfere with her efforts to settle an old grudge.
Do the Gao family have a grudge against these two people?
Oh, right, it's true that the eldest grandson has a grudge against Zhou Yichen, and the reason they became enemies was because of this peasant surnamed Su.
The old lady was quick-witted and immediately understood. "Oh, so you, Zhou Yichen, already knew about the Su family in Ning City?!"
Zhou Yichen's eyes were indifferent, as if he didn't think it was a big deal. "Of course, we are good friends."
"Have you forgotten that my grandson's future was ruined because of him? My Gao family should have no further connection with him in the first place. What were you thinking when you brought him along?!"
"Ning City does not belong to your Gao family. Even if Su Zihang did nothing wrong, as long as the country allows him, he has the right to go wherever he wants. Old lady, you have to be reasonable."
Moreover, he came seeking medical treatment, and he will leave once he recovers. The most important thing you should do now is to take Gao Laoda's body back for burial. As for Gao Ziyou's problem, you can wait for further notice. Don't cause any more trouble.
Also, I imagine Mr. Gao is unaware of the trouble you've caused, right?
The second and third sons of the Gao family avoided eye contact for a moment. The old man was not only unaware of the situation, but he was still unconscious.
They were reluctant to leave, but Old Madam Gao was not afraid. She glared angrily at Zhou Yichen, "Don't go too far!!"
That's ridiculous. Anyone with a conscience knows who went too far.
Chu Xin was most impatient with shrewish women throwing tantrums. She glanced around at the onlookers, raised her hand and clapped to draw everyone's attention to her. She might have been a little shy if she was just being watched by a crowd, but the thought of what she was about to do filled her with excitement.
"Ahem, I bet you're all confused by this, right? No worries, I'll clear things up for you!"
Some people may recognize this old lady, while others may not, but that's okay. Let me introduce her to you. She is the family member of the former commander of the Ning City Military Region. Her surname is Gao. Let's be considerate and not reveal her full name. If you're interested, you can inquire about it privately.
Now let's talk about the so-called feud between the Gao family and my friend Su Zihang. This goes back to about seven or eight years ago, when they were still serving in the army..."
“Shut up!!”
Suddenly, a sharp, high-pitched voice interrupted her. Chu Xin looked over and saw that Old Madam Gao's face was contorted with shock, anger, and disbelief.
"Don't talk nonsense. You're not even involved, so what right do you have to spout such nonsense? Besides, you've already said that you're friends with that bastard surnamed Su. What you're saying is completely unbelievable!"
Not to mention the old lady's strong reaction, Gao's other two sons were also alarmed and hurriedly stopped Chu Xin from continuing.
At first, they didn't take it seriously, thinking she was just bluffing. Besides the Gao family, only Zhou Yichen and Su Zihang knew about it. How could a little girl who looked like she hadn't even grown up yet know anything?
But the moment she revealed the specific time, they lost their composure. They were also furious that Zhou Yichen and Su Zihang had broken their promise and revealed the secret they had agreed to keep to others!
Despite being stared at with a fierce gaze, Zhou Yichen felt no guilt whatsoever. He truly hadn't said it himself; the only person who could be so brazen as to blabber on such a thing was Chu Yunting, who was also serving in the military at the time.
