It was so far away that he could vaguely hear his own breathing.
After sitting in the car in a daze for a long time, Gu Yusheng heard the shrill ringtone of his cell phone.
Instead of reaching for his phone, he lowered his head slightly and glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from the Gu Mansion. It was most likely Old Master Gu calling to persuade him not to clarify the scandal between him and Liang Doukou.
Gu Yusheng didn't want to continue arguing with Old Master Gu, so he let the cell phone ring in the silent car.
Not long after, the ringtone turned into a text message notification.
It was from Nanny Zhang, with a picture and a sentence: "Young Master, Old Master Gu has fainted."
The picture showed Old Master Gu lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking pale.
Before Gu Yusheng could open the picture to take a closer look, his cell phone rang again. It was Nanny Zhang, and he answered without hesitation.
"Young Master, Old Master Gu has fainted. I just called an ambulance. I touched him, and his heartbeat is so slow that I can barely feel it …
"Young Master, ever since you went to Shanghai at the beginning of last year, Old Master Gu's health hasn't been very good. Although Miss Liang saved his life in that car accident, he still suffered some injuries. Old Master Gu didn't allow me to tell you …"
"Today, after Old Master Gu quarreled with you, he was so angry that he didn't even eat lunch and went into his room to rest. I thought he was sleeping, but when I went to wake him up after I finished cooking dinner, I found out that he was already unconscious …"
Nanny Zhang talked a lot on the phone, but Gu Yusheng only heard the words "unconscious." His fingers tightened on the cell phone, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Which hospital?"
After hanging up, Gu Yusheng wanted to start the car, but he realized that his legs were so weak that he couldn't muster any strength.
His breathing was unsteady as he leaned against the steering wheel. For some reason, his mind suddenly flashed back to five years ago when he received a call from his family and rushed back from the army. The first thing he saw when he stepped into the house was his father and mother lying side by side on the bed, lifeless.
It was almost the same as the photo of his grandfather that Nanny Zhang had just sent him.
His heart felt as if it was being clenched tightly by something. It was painful and panicky.
His hands were shaking uncontrollably on the steering wheel. He tried to start the car several times, but to no avail. Looking up through the windshield, he saw Qin Zhi 'ai's building not far away. He didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to see her, even though he had been restraining himself from disturbing her for the past few days.
Even just listening to her voice would make him feel much more at ease.
Gu Yusheng's fingers trembled as he picked up his cell phone, found Qin Zhi 'ai's number, and dialed it.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable."
He continued dialing, but it was still the same response.
Gu Yusheng got out of the car in a hurry and ran to the building where Qin Zhi 'ai lived.
The elevators were all occupied. He waited for a minute, but the elevator still hadn't come down. So, he pushed open the emergency door and ran upstairs.
When he stood in front of Qin Zhi 'ai's door, he was so tired that he was out of breath. He pressed the doorbell twice.
No one answered the door.
Gu Yusheng stretched out his hand and pounded on the door with all his might.
