Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 467 - Chapter 467 Chapter 465 Unexpected Change

Chapter 467: Chapter 465: Unexpected Change Chapter 467: Chapter 465: Unexpected Change Ming Yao didn’t go in to disturb the mother and son, she closed the door and stepped back out.

So Song Yuzhi was not truly Gu Siting’s biological mother, no wonder she was so cold-blooded and malicious.

Now Gu Siting had his biological mother’s love, and Ming Yao felt happy for him.

Coming down from upstairs, Ming Yao entered the living room.

The television was broadcasting a news report.

[At ten o’clock this morning, an explosion occurred in a stretch Lincoln on the Presidential Residence square, the President’s driver died on the spot, and the President sustained serious injuries…]

Ming Yao’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched the scene unfold on the TV.

Several luxury cars drove into the Presidential Residence, and suddenly, the Lincoln in the center exploded into flames that shot up into the sky.

A group of black-suited bodyguards quickly got out of their cars to attempt a rescue.

The footage cut off at this point, without showing the President’s injuries.

Ming Yao stood dumbfounded, feeling as if her blood was running in reverse.

Gu Siting had only just learned the truth about his lineage, and now Mr. President, his biological father, was seriously injured.

Could this be mere coincidence?

It seemed like whoever had imprisoned Song Yulan had anticipated she would reveal the truth!

And the one pulling the strings had to be Gong Yu!

Ming Yao quickly ran upstairs and happened to meet Gu Siting coming out of his room.

“Siting, Mr. President has had an accident,” she said.

Gu Siting’s expression was grave; he had just received a call and was already aware of the incident.

Gu Siting took hold of Ming Yao’s hand and said in a deep voice, “Things may get chaotic, you should stay here for the time being.”

Ming Yao’s expression was solemn, “Be careful yourself.”

Gu Siting nodded and then strode away.

…

Gong Xiao managed to be saved, but the explosion had amputated one of his legs, and according to Country C’s rules, a disabled person cannot become a ruler. No matter how capable Gong Xiao was, he no longer had any chance of becoming the President.

As the Crown Prince, Gong Yu took temporary control of affairs at the Cabinet’s behest following Gong Xiao’s injury, but to truly wield power, he needed the support of various forces.

Gong Yu had been courting all possible connections and forces since his early years.

He had been dreading this day.

If Gong Xiao learned of his identity, he would definitely strip him of his title as the Crown Prince.

Actually, Gong Yu hadn’t wanted to act against Gong Xiao unless absolutely necessary.

Because the risk was too great, and if he failed, he would have nowhere to lay his body in death.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Gong Yu found a moment to take a look at Gong Xiao.

Following the accident, Gong Yu had barred everyone from visiting him.

Seeing Gong Yu enter, Gong Xiao’s pale face showed a trace of ferocity. Although he wasn’t aware of the full truth, his years of authority had given him a sense of something amiss, “It was you, wasn’t it?”

He stood to gain the most from his accident, and the only one capable of tampering with his car without his knowledge would be someone extremely close to him.

“You’ve bribed Secretary Xu!”

Secretary Xu had served by Gong Xiao’s side for many years and was one of his most trusted persons.

He knew his whereabouts like the back of his hand.

Gong Yu raised an eyebrow, “Seeing as you’ve become disabled, I’ll tell you the truth. Actually, I am not your biological son, I am the biological son of your second brother, Gong Aotian. Secretary Xu, who has been by your side for years, is my second uncle’s man. He’s been lurking beside you for many years, all to help me take over the empire.”

“Oh, your biological son is Gu Siting. It’s no surprise that there’s a blood connection between you, as you have praised him in front of me numerous times. But what use is that? I’m about to take him down. Tell me, shall I let him live or die?”

Gong Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply, and he tried to sit up from the bed, but he was so severely injured that he couldn’t manage it.

“You, you…”

“If you want Gu Siting to live, it’s best you hand over your seal,” said Gong Yu.

Gong Xiao gritted his teeth, “Don’t even think about it.”

“Fine, don’t hand it over; either way, the presidential election is about to begin soon. Once I get the support of the voters, I will truly replace you!”

Veins popped out on Gong Xiao’s forehead as he retorted, “Gong Yu, your wolf-like ambition and heartless nature make you utterly unworthy of this position!”

Gong Yu took a step closer to the bed and suddenly raised his hand, pressing it directly onto the stump of Gong Xiao’s severed limb.

Gong Xiao’s pain was so intense that his facial features scrunched together.

Seeing Gong Xiao dripping with cold sweat and unable to speak any longer, Gong Yu sneered, “Actually, I didn’t want it to come to this, but your own son has been meddling too much. He’s been pressing me step by step, leaving me no choice but to act!”

He had been trembling with fear for years, dreading the revelation of his true identity.

As long as Gong Xiao fell from power, he would no longer need to fear.

…

The upheaval at the Presidential Residence gave Gu Siting a whiff of danger.

He tried to meet Mr. President, but he couldn’t see him.

The Presidential Residence was now under martial law, and Gong Yu had ordered that no outsiders be allowed to enter easily.

Gu Siting received the news that Gong Yu had temporarily taken over the reins of power.

He had a vague feeling that Gong Yu was about to make a move against him.

Sure enough, the regulatory department began conducting consecutive inspections of ST Corporation.

After several inspections, they had found no issues.

Just when the ST Corporation’s management let out a sigh of relief, problems were discovered with the items being transported by the cargo ship.

Lu Zhou reported this news to Gu Siting, “Fourth Master, a large amount of smuggled goods were found on the ship.”

In Country C, this was a serious offense, punishable by death.

Gu Siting’s lips curled up in a cold smile, “It seems Gong Yu is intent on sending me to my grave!”

“Fourth Master, what should we do now? I heard that the Presidential Residence has already sent people to arrest you.”

If the case was handled directly by the Presidential Residence, not even The Immortal could save Gu Siting.

……

Ming Yao had been following the real-time news closely as of late.

Learning that ST Corporation had been sealed off, she was utterly shocked.

But after the shock, she began to discern what was happening.

Now that Gong Yu had seized power, he had started to openly target Gu Siting.

Anxious, Ming Yao hurriedly tried to call Gu Siting, but the call wouldn’t go through.

Just as Ming Yao was getting exceedingly anxious, Gu Siting quietly returned. He personally took Ming Yao, Song Yulan, and Old Madam Gu to another concealed residence.

Gu Siting gripped Ming Yao’s hand tightly, “I will find a way to enter the Presidential Residence and meet Mr. President. You all stay here for now; the situation outside is too chaotic. You are the most important people to me, so you must stay safe.”

Ming Yao clutched the man’s broad palm in return, her eyes brimming with tears as she nodded, “You must be very careful too.”

…

Having been immersed in the business world for many years and having had dealings with Mr. President, Gu Siting naturally had some connections.

He disguised himself and, under the guise of a caregiver, infiltrated the Presidential Residence.

Thanks to the arrangements of some insiders, he met the severely injured Gong Xiao.

Gong Xiao glanced at the man who entered, deeming him an ordinary-looking caregiver who had come to attend to him. He closed his eyes and said nothing.

“Mr. President.”

Hearing Gu Siting’s voice, Gong Xiao’s eyes snapped open.

Staring at the plain-looking man before him for a few seconds, Gong Xiao seemed to realize something, “Is it you, Siting?”

“It’s me.”

Gong Xiao’s eyes immediately welled up with emotion, and he reached out to Gu Siting with excitement, “Are you really Siting?”

“Yes.”
