Chapter 1159: Even If It’s a Terminal Illness, It Will Be Overcame for Her

Editor: Henyee Translations

Feng Jue held Gu Yang’s left hand, murmuring softly. Suddenly, he felt her fingers twitch under his grasp.

He froze, and a spark lit up his once-dark eyes. “Sister! You can hear me, can’t you?”

Turning quickly to Gu Jin, he exclaimed, “Gu Jin, hurry over! Her fingers just moved!”

Gu Jin was equally stunned. She immediately set down her things and approached quickly, switching on the consciousness monitor. As spiritual power fluctuations appeared on the screen, her usually steady hands shook with excitement.

“Yangyang is coming back,” she whispered.

Feng Jue’s whole being seemed to come alive, his eyes brimming with hope. “Then… when will she wake up?”

Gu Jin took Gu Yang’s pulse carefully. “Aside from the mental strain, she hasn’t suffered any serious physical damage. It’s only a matter of time–she’ll wake up soon.”

Feng Jue’s smile faded slightly. “Mental strain… was it those potions they gave her to boost her powers?”

Gu Jin nodded, her face solemn. “Yes, they overdosed her with stimulants. While these can boost her mental strength quickly, they also cause harm to it.”

Feng Jue’s concern deepened. “What could happen to her?”

Gu Jin said, “Utopia’s experimental data indicates that this dosage can render an S-rank Mutant irreversibly impaired. Yangyang is an SSS-rank, so it shouldn’t be as severe, but amnesia is likely.”

“Those bastards! We should have killed them that day!” Feng Jue’s fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot with fury.

“But as long as Yangyang comes back, I can treat whatever illness she has,” Gu Jin replied, her tone light yet tinged with determination. “Even if it’s a terminal condition, I will find a way to overcome it for her.”

Meanwhile, at the Gu residence in the capital, the atmosphere was heavy with despair as the entire family struggled with Gu Yang’s unconsciousness.

Gu Zhaoming, known as a “smiling tiger” in the business world, had even managed to suppress his typical facade. Outside, his expression was grave. The weight of the Gu family’s future rested heavily on him, and both the family elders and company executives were wary of his displeasure.

The second branch, led by Gu Zhao’an, had already been sent to a branch office far from the capital. Only Gu Shuxue, still studying at Hua University, remained in the city.

The third branch, Gu Zhaoye’s family, chose not to antagonize Gu Shuzhi, recognizing the importance of staying in the Gu Group’s good graces. They maintained their previous position without issue.

As for the Gu Clan’s rivals, they faced severe consequences.

During this tumultuous period, Gu Zhaoming appeared grim, almost manic in his efforts to find trouble with rival companies, relentlessly working to drive them into bankruptcy.

Among them, the Ning family–one of the four great families in the capital–suffered the most. With Ning Shen arrested and the family leaderless, the Ning family was on the brink of collapse, struggling against the combined forces of the Xiao family, the Feng family, the Gu family, and the Ji family. Their once-glorious status was fading fast.

In fact, if Family Head Ji hadn’t personally come to apologize and clarified that his brother, Ji Minghui, had been replaced by Ryan many years ago, the Ji family would have faced severe suppression, risking their removal from the ranks of aristocratic families.

Now, the entire elite circle in the capital trembled in fear. Everyone was exceedingly polite to Gu Zhaoming and the Gu family, with no one daring to provoke him as he vented his frustrations.

Of course, the situation had little impact on the vast working class; it was simply a change in leadership at the top.

In the chairman’s office of the Gu Group in the capital, Bai Yueshuang stood before Gu Zhaoming, tears brimming in her eyes. “Dad, I’m your daughter! Can’t you see that Xiao Yang is not the same as I was back then?”
