Chapter 296 - Protected Father and Son of the Xu Family
At the same time, at Xu Yangyi's house, Gong Cheng's expression turned frighteningly serious after receiving a phone call.
“Yangyi deployed Hee Jingyan's troops?” He almost shouted, his voice tinged with panic.
Hee Jingyan would never let Yangyi leave the army unattended. What happened?
“I'm not entirely sure either. Although Hee Jingyan also left, the situation seems complicated. What should we do now?” The urgency in his voice was evident to Ye Xiao.
“Deploy everyone immediately to ensure Yangyi's safety. If he gets even a single scratch, none of you should come back alive.”
Gong Cheng could no longer contain his anger and rushed downstairs. It was as if the world was ending; he was no longer calm and composed.
“Yes, yes. I'll do it right away.” Those on the other end of the call were terrified, witnessing Gong Cheng's anger for the first time, and quickly packed up to take action.
After hanging up, Gong Cheng ripped off his tie in frustration, his eyes suddenly turning icy cold.
He descended the stairs step by step and headed straight for the door. Just as he was about to leave, Xu Jing emerged from the kitchen, looking at him with confusion.
“Gong Cheng?” It was as if he was asking why he was in such a rush.
Hearing Xu Jing's voice, Gong Cheng paused briefly before saying, “I'm going out.” With that, he quickly vanished.
It was the first time Xu Jing had seen Gong Cheng in such a bad mood. He was a bit stunned and could only stand there, muttering an “oh” as he stared blankly at the entrance.
“Did something happen at the company?” Xu Jing mumbled to himself, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He simply yawned lazily and headed upstairs.
However, just as he took a few more steps, the door swung open again, and Gong Cheng returned with worry etched on his face.
“Don't go out, and wait for me. Don't open the door for anyone.”
He then shut the door firmly, leaving Xu Jing behind.
Once he regained his composure, Xu Jing awkwardly muttered, “I'm not Yangyi.”
However, even Xu Yangyi was probably more reliable than his father!
Still worried, Gong Cheng made another call, instructing half of the team to return and protect Xu Jing while he personally escorted Xu Yangyi.
“Are you on your way?” His subordinates were all shocked, fearing Gong Cheng's anger, and quickly snapped out of their surprise to relay the message.
In the car, Gong Cheng checked the location and drove out of the yard as if every second counted.
Xu Jing, watching from the window upstairs, was even more shocked as it seemed something significant was happening.
He set down his cup and hurriedly picked up the phone, intending to call Gong Cheng to ask if something was wrong. But realizing that if Gong Cheng hadn't told him, it must be something he wasn't supposed to know, he hesitated and put the phone down.
“Maybe it's just a rush to get to the publishing firm in time. That kind of thing happens often, and Gong Cheng is already on his way.”
Xu Jing reassured himself, chuckling at his own thoughts, and then stopped worrying as he went to enjoy his comics.
