Chapter 855 - It’s Not Too Late to Turn AroundChapter 855: It’s Not Too Late to Turn Around
At the hospital, Gu Xie had woken up.
He was speaking to Second Old Master Gu privately.
“The bullet was rather thin. You were lucky, but you might not be again in the future. Never act rashly,” Second Old Master Gu said softly. “Our family cannot handle another tragedy.”
“Yes, Pa. I got it,” Gu Xie said. He was different from his elder brothers who had undergone intensive training since they were young. Gu Xie began acting at a young age. He studied and never meddled with the affairs of Ghost City. The people in Ghost City also seldom saw Sixth Master.
He had always been staying away from Ghost City. He was not as combative as his elder brothers, but he knew enough for self-defense. His skills were better than average bodyguards. The incident that happened yesterday night came too suddenly, and he was too unprepared for it. He was also pulled away by Yang Po. The bullet was mean, and it taught him a lesson.

Gu Xie bit his lip. He also saw the look of despair in Lin Xiaojuan. He had thought that he would never see it again. Now, he felt scared.
“Pa, I won’t let you worry about me again.”
“Good that you know it,” Second Old Master Gu said. “Is that person outside your girlfriend?”
“Yes!”
“Yeah, if you guys have been dating for quite some time, bring her home so we can talk about marriage. There’s no need to date for so long.”
“Okay, Pa.” Gu Xie smiled lightly. He knew that his family would never object to him dating. No matter who he wanted to marry, the only thing that mattered was if he liked the person. Since he was young, Second Old Master Gu gave him enough freedom. He could choose the career he liked and the people he liked.
“You are more hardworking than your brothers. You might be the first one to marry.” Thinking of his bunch of worrying sons, Second Old Master Gu felt emotionally tired.
Instead, his youngest daughter had a seven-year-old son.
Her elder brothers were not even married yet.
“Pa, Second Brother is also...”
“Don’t worry. Rest well,” Second Old Master Gu said.

“If you knew not to spite them, why did you hit Yang Po?”
“I hit him as Gu Xie, not as the Sixth Master of Ghost City. He doesn’t even know who I am. Second Brother is different, and everyone knows his identity. I am safe now, so there’s no need to spite him.”
“Don’t worry.” Second Old Master Gu sounded firm. “Second Brother knows when to draw the line. He wouldn’t cause unnecessary trouble. He... cares a lot about you.”
Gu Xie lowered his head. Second Old Master Gu patted him on his hand. “I have told you long ago that he has nothing to do with whatever that happened to Yuan An. You just wouldn’t believe it. You don’t have to always see things to believe that they are true.”
“Pa, I-I...” He could not confide in the things that had been bothering him for many years.
Second Old Master Gu said, “As long as you know what you’re doing. True brothers never bear grudges.”
He had been telling these to Gu Xie for several years, but Gu Xie never took it seriously. No one knows why, but Gu Yuanli and Gu Xie had never been close since they were young. Yet, Gu Xie was the closest with Big Brother. He liked to stick around his eldest brother.
Gu Yuanli was always distancing himself from Gu Xie. Furthermore, Gu Yuanli was really rebellious in his teen years. It was really different from how calm and firm he was now. He was very impatient with kids as well. Eventually, the relationship between the brothers became distanced.
The good thing was that it was not too late to turn around.
