Gu Yuanzhou’s efficiency was far greater than I had imagined.
Soon, they found the video, and according to the surveillance, they identified two thugs
All within an hour.
The two punks were taken before Gu Yuanzhou.
As expected, Ayu was ruthless, without hesitation he had his men push them to the ground and beat them up.
The two pleaded desperately.
Soon they confessed.
“We’re sorry, Brother Ayu, we mistook her because we did not know how distinguished this lady is. We just wanted to put something in her drink and take her home for fun. We realize we messed up and promise not to do it again!”
Ayu stepped forward, slapped them once more, then turned to ask Gu Yuanzhou.
“President Gu, do you think they’ve had enough or should we cut some more?”
Gu Yuanzhou did not answer; instead, he turned his gaze towards me,
“If you have anything else to say, feel free to speak up!”
I looked at the two thugs,
“So, you simply wanted to drug me? Nobody behind the scenes manipulated you?”
Ayu then kicked one of them,
“Answer truthily, or we’ll throw you into the station.”
Intimidated by the threat, the thugs turned pale. They knelt before me, apologizing profusely.
“Please, spare us, miss. We didn’t recognize you. We just wanted to take advantage of you, nothing more. There’s no one behind the scenes ”
The bar owner then stepped forward to plead his case to Gu Yuanzhou,
“President Gu, though these two are not my employees, they often lurk around the bar street. They are known for preying on drunk girls, I’m confident they were just trying to take advantage of Miss here, there are no secret schemers.”
At these words, Gu Yuanzhou remained composed, leaning back slightly, rhythmically tapping on the table.
After a while, he turned to me, “Are you satisfied with the answer?”
Of course, I was not, so I asked the punks again,
“You witnessed when I was knocked down by the motorcycle rider that night, didn’t you?”
The thugs didn’t dare to lie and admitted immediately,
“Yes, yes, we saw it! But we were scared and didn’t want to take the blame, so we we ran away.”
Upon hearing this, Ayu kicked them again. They yelped in pain but dared not resist,
“She gets hit by a car, and you don’t even call an ambulance? You’re worse than animals! You’re wasting food by being alive!”
One of the thugs, clearly afraid that Ayu would really use his knife, hurriedly confessed,
“I I got a clear look at the license plate of the motorcycle.”
Ayu grabbed him by the collar and threatened menacingly: “Speak!”
The thug quickly recited the motorcycle’s license plate number.
Gu Yuanzhou had his connections. A single call gave him the answer.
“It’s him!”
“Who?”
Out of curiosity, Ayu asked again. Seemingly irritated by Gu Yuanzhou’s silence, he added,
“How about we grab him too?”
However, Gu Yuanzhou had already stood up,
“No need, let’s leave it at that for today.”
“Alright, let us see President Gu off!”
Gu Yuanzhou buttoned his coat and went outside.
I stood up and stopped him.
“President Gu, the key lies with the rider, why not bring him to see me?”
“It was just an accident. You saw, those punks just wanted to take advantage of you, there was no plot!”
“I want to see the rider. I want to question him personally.”
“Why are you so stubborn? I’ve already told you that he is not likely to harm you intentionally.”
“Whether he meant it or not, I will figure it out after I see him.”
“I will arrange for you to meet him but not now.”
Gu Yuanzhou turned around and walked away.
I had no choice but to follow him out.
Outside, Ayu shook hands with Gu Yuanzhou and scrutinized him with his eyes for a long time before saying, “President Gu, I take my leave now. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Gu Yuanzhou merely gave a slight nod.
I stood still, watching as a dozen bodyguards entered the black sedan and drove away one by one.
The entire scene, the spectacle, attracted the attention of passers-by.
I stood there, reminiscing about the time when Gu Yuanzhou worked for my uncle and was just a nobody. But now
He had already made his mark.
A small sapling had grown into a towering tree, spreading its roots far and wide.
Now, with his power, no one could touch him, not even Ding Yinuo.
“Get in the car!”
On one hand, I told myself Gu Yuanzhou was stalling, he didn’t even dare to confront the rider with me. What else is there to discuss?
On the other hand, I couldn’t suppress my curiosity. I wanted to know what he was going to do.
By now, the city lights were already illuminating the streets.
The entire city turned into an ocean of lights.
Gu Yuanzhou sat in the driver’s seat. His black shirt made his face look gloomy and his eyes dark.
The lights outside the window occasionally flickered across his face, making his gaze seem shadowy and unclear.
In the past, sitting next to him, I felt secure and happy.
Now, I felt like the man beside me was a black hole, drawing me deeper and deeper into an abyss.
Half an hour later.
He parked the car.
I glanced out of the window, surprised to find we were at the First Municipal Hospital.
Had he come to find Ding Yinuo?
Before I could gather my thoughts, he had already left the car.
“Let’s go.”
Once we were out of the car, he made another call.
After ending the call, he led me into the hospital.
A few minutes later, he brought me to a familiar room – Aunt Wu Lijuan’s room.
Lately, Wu Lijuan’s condition had been improving under Ding Yinuo’s treatment. Although she was still hospitalized, she had regained her color.
Since I hadn’t revealed my identity, nor exposed the real culprit behind the poisoning, Wu Lijuan didn’t harbor any ill-will towards Gu Yuanzhou.
I was wondering why Gu Yuanzhou wanted me to see Wu Lijuan,
but Gu Yuanzhou had already greeted her,
“Aunt Lijuan, I’ve been busy with business recently and haven’t been able to visit, I apologize for my lateness.”
“Gu Yuanzhou!”
Wu Lijuan called out his name, her voice choking with emotion.
“Aunt Lijuan, please rest assured, even without Ayun, I would still take care of you. I will replace Ayun and support you in your old age.”
With tear-filled eyes, Wu Lijuan choked on her words, “I’m relieved to hear you say that.”
Gu Yuanzhou was very empathetic. A few heartfelt words had eased Wu Lijuan’s guard, and they started to chat.
Perhaps sensing the time was right, Gu Yuanzhou did something else that took me by surprise.
