CHAPTER 418 - Attack On Grandpa Lin 2

"h.e.l.lo, where is my grandfather, please? Put him online."

"I am afraid Miss, but Mr Lin is indisposed at the moment and has been attacked."

"What?!"

BADUM! BADUM!

Li Jing's heart began to thud loudly in her chest as the words she heart replayed in her mind.

'No… No, no way…'

"Miss. h.e.l.lo? Are you there?" the lady from the other end kept on asking.

"Yes, yes… Sorry, I … wait, oh my G.o.d. What happened to grandpa, tell me, please."

"He was attacked by some men, particularly his car was attacked but his driver and his bodyguard were able to handle the situation."

"Alright, so where is he now?"

"Your grandfather was umm, his car had an accident in the process, so he is currently unconscious in the hospital."

"He is what!" Li Jing yelled. She could not believe her ears. How could someone do that to her grandfather, knowing fully well who he was and the backing he got? "Such a thing could happen and n.o.body could actually think of informing me? Where is everyone by the way?"

"I am sorry miss. I am the maid left in the hospital to look after him today. I just came in a few minutes ago. Besides, before he pa.s.sed out and all, he specifically instructed his granddaughter not to be informed.

"Are you serious right now? That old man… arrghh. Hope the police are investigating the case thoroughly? I do not want any stone unturned, they must find the perpetrators as soon as possible."

"Noted ma."

"Who is in charge in our the company in our absence?" Li Jing suddenly asked.

"I am afraid it is his sister. She is running the business for now."

"How long ago did this happen?"

"Just three days back."

"Fine. Be on a close watch on things for me and report to me. Meanwhile, I would be right there as soon as I can."

"Yes, ma. I will."

"Thanks."

Li Jing did not wait for her response first before she actually ended the call. She was feeling so down about the whole thing and had already begun blaming herself.

Instantly, Li Jing felt like packing her bags and rushing up to her grandfather in the neighbouring city but then she was no longer the owner of herself and she needed to seek his permission first before she left.

After careful thought on the matter, Li Jing finally came to a consensus in her mind about the right step to take. Immediately she began to pack her things.

Something terrible had happened to her grandfather and although she really was mad at him, she knew when to put her grievances aside and do the next right thing.

Quickly she sent a message to Ye Cheng informing him of what had happened. Instead of getting an unfavourable reply from him, Li Jing got something else.

He encouraged her to be strong and told her to go to her grandfather as he knew how important the man was to her.

She was shocked though but giving his kind of person, she wondered why she expected less from him in the first place.

Immediately after responding to her text message, Ye Cheng dialled her number. He knew hearing his voice would help soothe her raging nerves and so he did.

"Hey, babe."

"Hi, hon. How are you?"

"I am great. Ignore me, you are what matters right now. How are you feeling?"

"Honestly, not so good. I feel so bad and perhaps if I had not left him, none of this thing would have happened to him and then…"

"Shhh… Calm down, babe. Do not do this to yourself. Do not dare blame yourself for anything. Your grandfather has his life to live and so did you. Never you blame yourself for that, okay?"

"Okay, I won't. But then.."

"Li Jing, love. Stop it, please. You do not deserve to do this to yourself. Please."

"Alright. And now I found out that the company is being managed by my grand auntie. That lady is a fox."

"Do not worry babe. I would handle the company when you are gone. Right now, what is most important is that you find balance in your heart and joy, forgive him and go to him. He needs you now Li Jing. He needs to know that his grandchild would still be there for him. He needs to know that his company, a.s.sets and all are in safe hands and you cannot do all of this from miles away. You need to go to him."

"I am sorry I am telling you this over the phone. You deserve better. I wanted to wait till you come then I present it to you but…"

"You were just too agitated to wait. I understand. I at least should know the wife I got married to. Do not worry about anything. Pack your bags…"

"Already done that," Li Jing interjected.

"I see. Okay, let me not be the stumbling block any further. You can go, baby. Ask the driver to come over to my office first. I would follow you to the airport. It is the least I can do, love."

"It means so much to me already that you are allowing me to go, not to speak of accompanying me to the airport."

"Hey, don't say that. He is family, no matter what he did. Besides, he felt he did those things for your own good. And that reminds me… sigh."

"What is it?" Li Jing probed noticing the change in his tone.

"I am a prodigal grandson-in-law. I have yet to see him officially."

"Oh that… I thought it was something overly serious."

"But it is."

"I get you and you would have time to do that once grandpa is well again. For now, think about other things."

"Alright love. Let's not dwell in the past further. I would round up things at work and wait for you guys."

"Alright, thanks."
