Chapter 441; No News is Good News

Upon hearing Bai Zhi say that he might have received incorrect information, Gu Changgeng smiled wryly, "Dr. Bai, we're probably thinking about different things."

"Mr. Gu, tell me, what did you hear?"

Gu Changgeng shook his head sadly, his face full of bitterness, unwilling to speak.

“Mr. Gu, please don’t be sad.” Bai Zhi looked at him and said, “You need to talk to me first. What exactly happened to you? Or what did you hear? I know this is a heartache for you.”

Bai Zhi tentatively asked, "Is it related to Comrade Gu Jingyi?"

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Gu Changgeng sobbed, "My second son... he..."

Gu Changgeng choked up again, too saddened to speak.

Bai Zhi asked softly, "You mean, there's news about Comrade Gu Jingyi?"

Gu Changgeng shook his head with a sigh, "It's not good news."

"Mr. Gu, as I just told you, if you are saddened because of Comrade Gu Jingyi, then your information is incorrect."

Bai Zhi looked at him, her tone serious and earnest, "I can give you a definite answer now: Gu Jingyi agreed that he did not sacrifice himself."

"Dr. Xiaobai, please don't try to comfort me."

Gu Changgeng sighed and said, "I know exactly what's going on. It's been almost two years since I heard from him. Since someone else told me this information, it can't be wrong."

"I only beg you not to tell my husband and Jingming this news. I can bear the pain alone. Don't let them suffer the same torment as me. My husband won't be able to take it."

Bai Zhi said earnestly and firmly, "Old Gu, you don't need to be in pain. I didn't lie to you. Comrade Gu Jingyi is really still alive."

Seeing Bai Zhi's resolute expression and unwavering gaze, Gu Changgeng couldn't help but want to trust her.

But Gu Changgeng had already made up his mind about the answer and could no longer be persuaded by Bai Zhi.

His information is accurate.

Bai Zhi grasped Gu Changgeng's withered hand, her voice low but unusually firm, "Old Gu, believe me, I'm not lying to you to comfort you. I know you've experienced many ups and downs in your life. If what you say is true, and Comrade Gu has had an accident, I will only comfort you, tell you to accept the situation and face reality, and I would never lie to you."

Gu Changgeng seemed moved by Bai Zhi's words. Looking into Bai Zhi's eyes, which shone like stars, he asked with difficulty, "Dr. Bai, why are you so sure? What source did you get this information from? Is it reliable?"

“Very reliable,” Bai Zhi said. “It is precisely because Comrade Gu is still alive that Lu Shan has not married yet and has been waiting for him. You must trust us and trust your son. He will return safely.”

“But…” Gu Changgeng hesitated, his expression softening.

Bai Zhi smiled and spoke.

"Think about it, who is Comrade Gu? He's a soldier, under the organization's control. If something really happened to him, would the organization really keep quiet without any news or notification to your family?"

Bai Zhi's words completely awakened Gu Changgeng.

Indeed, more than ten days had passed since he heard the news. He was so shocked that he fell ill and had been bedridden, his heart filled with pain, leaving him no time to think about anything else.

Only after Bai Zhi said this did he realize that if his son had really sacrificed his life, then the army would definitely send someone.

It's impossible that there hasn't been any movement at all by now.

Even if it were late, it would be impossible to not notify the family for so many days.

So, no news is good news.

Thinking of this, Gu Changgeng suddenly felt energized and sat up.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi smiled and continued speaking.

"Believe me, you must cheer up, take good care of your health, and take good care of your husband, and wait for Comrade Gu's triumphant return."

Gu Changgeng leaned against the headboard, his tone less heavy and sorrowful, "Dr. Bai, now that you mention it, I also feel something is amiss. Last time I visited an old comrade-in-arms, I asked him to help inquire about my son's whereabouts. Later, he gave me feedback saying that the situation was not optimistic; almost none of the soldiers who went on the mission with Gu Jingyi survived, and he told me to prepare myself..."

Bai Zhi, having learned the whole story, reassured him, "Old Gu, please don't ask around. You can imagine that since there's been no news about Comrade Gu, he must be on a secret mission. How could anyone else know his whereabouts? Don't listen to people's wild guesses."

She glanced towards the door and said in a low voice, "Furthermore, we must not reveal any information about Comrade Gu Jingyi to anyone when we go out. Protecting his privacy is protecting his life."

Gu Changgeng nodded solemnly, "Dr. Xiaobai, I understand."

He still felt uneasy and uneasy even as he spoke.

He looked at Bai Zhi and asked again, "Are you really sure Gu Jingyi is still alive?"

Bai Zhi said firmly, "I promise, but you must keep it a secret and not reveal a single word to anyone, otherwise it will be dangerous for him."

Gu Changgeng nodded solemnly, "I understand."

"Then get up and walk around. Don't lie down anymore. You must relax and adjust your mood and state of mind. You still have to be the pillar of the family."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's suggestion, Gu Changgeng obediently sat up and prepared to get out of bed.

"Okay, I'll get up, I'll get up right away."

Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy throughout his body.

However, Gu Changgeng got out of bed too suddenly and felt dizzy, almost falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi quickly helped him up and helped him sit on the edge of the bed.

"Mr. Gu, please don't move. I'll get you a glass of water. Please rest for a while before getting up."

Bai Zhi went to the main room, where Niu Niu was still drawing. Bai Zhi poured a glass of water and handed it to Gu Changgeng.

After drinking the water, Gu Changgeng paused for two minutes until his mind cleared before slowly getting up.

Bai Zhi looked at him and instructed, "Mr. Gu, you've been lying down for too long, which has caused insufficient blood supply to your brain. In addition, you haven't been eating well lately, so you're also a bit anemic. Your blood pressure has also been unstable, which makes you prone to dizziness. You must be careful not to get up too suddenly, and use a cane when you walk. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to regulate your body. You also need to pay more attention to your diet and eat more. At your age, your body can't withstand any kind of exertion."

Bai Zhi, like her own daughter, helped him walk towards the hall, and kept giving him instructions. Gu Changgeng felt warm inside, and his weathered and withered face was full of gratitude. He responded in agreement, "Okay, okay."

As long as his son is alive, he has the motivation to live.

Grandma Gu steamed rice and came out of the kitchen. She was surprised to see her husband come out of the bedroom and sit in the living room. Grandma Gu's eyes widened in surprise.

Dr. Xiaobai truly lives up to his reputation as a miracle doctor; in just a few minutes, without even needing any medicine, the person was back to their senses.

Her husband hadn't sat in the living room for more than ten days.

Gu Jingming bought groceries and entered the house. He was both delighted and shocked to see his father sitting on the wooden sofa in the living room.
