A girl of about 10 years old handed the phone to Shen Beitang.

These are children's mobile phones. Designed to ensure children's safety, these phones have a dedicated emergency dial button that can be used even without a signal.

Shen Beitang pressed the wrong number several times out of the three numbers.

The call was answered promptly, and the hospital said the ambulance would arrive within a minute.

Hearing this, Shen Beitang finally felt relieved.

Gu Zhun's breathing slowed down, and he tried several times to reach for Chen Beitang's hand, but his hand slumped in mid-air.

The hospital was right on time; about 30 seconds later, I heard the ambulance outside the hotel.

The ambulance kept honking its horn to urge them on, but the medical staff never came in.

"Something's wrong, Miss Shen!" a security guard shouted as he rushed in.

Shen Beitang, who had just relaxed, suddenly felt anxious again. She asked with strong composure.

"What's wrong?"

Suddenly, several cars blocked the entrance, and the ambulance was blocked and could not get through at all.

Shen Beitang's heart tightened, and she hugged Gu Zhun even tighter.

"What about the doctor? Can we bring in a stretcher?"

"They said that place was completely blocked off, with no gaps at all, and there were no other roads."

Gu Zhun, who had been calm, suddenly began to cough violently, struggling and clutching his neck.

Shen Beitang quickly helped him loosen his tie. "Gu Zhun, are you feeling any better now?"

Gu Zhun, who had been struggling just moments before, was now lying silently in her arms.

"Don't sleep, Gu Zhun, you can't sleep!"

Tears streamed down Gu Zhun's face like an unturned faucet.

Gu Zhun was so quiet, it was as if he were asleep.

"Go, smash all those cars! I'll pay three times the money back!"

Shen Beitang lost control and yelled at the security guard.

"Okay, okay." The security guard didn't dare to delay for a moment.

Shen Beitang had never felt time pass so slowly; every second of waiting for the doctor was agonizing.

"Make way, make way!" Several doctors carried over a stretcher.

"I'll come and see."

One of the tall doctors took out emergency equipment and began to examine Gu Zhun.

Shen Beitang stood blankly to the side, watching Gu Zhun being manipulated like a porcelain doll.

She never believed in ghosts or gods, but at this moment, she so desperately wished that this world had a spirit.

"Why did you remove the equipment! You need to save Gu Zhun!"

Shen Beitang watched as the doctor removed the various life-saving instruments from Gu Zhun's body, and despite others' objections, she tried to reattach them.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Shen, please accept my condolences."

Please accept my condolences. Why should I accept my condolences?

Gu Zhun is always very restless when he's asleep; he'll wrap himself in the blanket and crawl inside like a kitten.

But why isn't he moving now...?

"Gu Zhun, wake up! I have so much to say to you."

Shen Beitang leaned against Gu Zhun's chest, her heart, which used to beat for her, was now completely still.

"Xiao Tang, don't be too sad. If Gu Zhun knew in the afterlife, he would be heartbroken."

Bai Su covered her mouth, crying bitterly, and tried to pull Shen Beitang off Gu Zhun.

"The dead cannot be brought back to life. We need to look forward and let's bury him."

As soon as Yun Su finished speaking, several burly men dressed in black rushed out, trying to carry Gu Zhun away.

Shen Beitang threw herself onto Gu Zhun and hugged him tightly.

"No one is allowed to touch him! Anyone who dares to touch him today will be my enemy!"

Yun Suchao and his group exchanged a glance, and several burly men began to lift Shen Beitang up.

"Where are you taking Gu Zhun?" Shen Beitang shouted at Yun Su.

Yun Su covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Gu Zhun with disgust: "If someone dies, of course they should be cremated."

Shen Beitang stood in front of Yun Su and raised his hand to block her way.

“I disagree. Gu Zhun’s departure was inexplicable. I demand that the doctor conduct an examination on the spot.”

"No! We're family people, I'll handle this myself."

Yun Su impatiently pushed her away. Now that Gu Zhun was dead, no one could stop her anymore.

“I’m his stepmother, and you’re just an outsider. What are you yelling at me for? I said cremation, so cremation is cremation!”

"I was just wondering, with such a big thing happening, where were you, as his stepmother, at the time?"

Shen Beitang asked the onlookers, "Did you see her again just now?"

People around shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen Yun Su.

"Was it wrong for me to go to the toilet at that time?"

Yun Su's eyes began to dart away, but her voice remained as self-righteous as ever.

"You spent an hour and a half in the bathroom, and there was such a loud noise outside, but you didn't hear a thing."

Now that you hear Gu Zhun is dead, you've come out of the toilet. That's really strange.

Shen Beitang leaned closer and sniffed Yun Su, then said meaningfully.

"The hotel's toilets don't look very clean; they even smell like an underground parking lot."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Su subconsciously raised her sleeve and smelled it, but when she saw Shen Beitang's eyes, she quickly realized that something was wrong.

"You did this on purpose!"

Shen Beitang shrugged innocently: "What could I possibly do on purpose? It just proves that my nose is too sensitive."

"So, you really were in the parking lot just now?"

Yun Su touched her nose guiltily and subconsciously retorted, "How could I possibly go to such a dirty place as the parking lot?"

Shen Beitang sneered, stepped forward, and lifted Yun Su's skirt, displaying it to everyone.

"If you say there isn't any, then where did the oil stains on the skirt come from?"

Yun Su was furious and tried to pull her skirt down, but unfortunately everyone saw it.

There was a blackish-yellow stain on the white hem of the skirt, and it did smell of gasoline if you got close.

"When did they start storing gasoline in toilets?"

Shen Beitang summoned a waiter, squatted down, and while Yun Su wasn't paying attention, cut off the hem of her skirt.

Yun Su tried to grab it anxiously, but unfortunately her shoes weren't up to par, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Shen Beitang, what do you want to do? How dare you disrespect your elders? Are you trying to rebel?"

“I just called the police, and this is being submitted as evidence.”

Yun Su scrambled to her feet, her fake smile crumbling, and pointed at Shen Beitang with her scarlet fingernails.

"Call the police? Go ahead and call them. I didn't kill Gu Zhun, hahaha."

Yun Su felt a sense of satisfaction whenever she thought that the Gu family's mountain of wealth would finally be hers.

No one can stop me. After enduring so long in the shadow of the Gu family father and son, I can finally see the sun.

"When I called the police, I didn't say it was a murder case. I just told the police that someone was obstructing the rescue."

Then why do you say you didn't kill Gu Zhun? Does Gu Zhun's death have anything to do with you?

Yun Su was stunned. She pinched herself hard, regretting that she had blurted it out.
