Gu Huaiwei returned to the real world. Mu Lingxi was not in the apartment. The window of the room was open. There were two teacups on the dining table. Gu Huaiwei touched the cups and found they were still warm. The person must have just left.

It was getting dark outside.

Gu Huaiwei sent a message to Mu Lingxi, telling her that she was back.

Jiang Xingyi always pesters Gu Huaiwei about the gold coins.

In a society ruled by law, Gu Huaiwei told him to call the police immediately if he encountered gangsters collecting debts. Gambling debts are illegal debts, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't pay them back.

However, not long after Gu Huaiwei sent a message to Mu Lingxi, she called back.

Mu Lingxi brought two pieces of bad news.

First, Sister Jin was put in a detention center.

Second, Jiang Xingyi is now in the hospital. He had six fingers cut off, has a high fever and is in a coma, talking nonsense non-stop.

In fact, the second news is not bad news.

After all, they were not related, so Gu Huaiwei didn't care about his injury.

But Gu Huaiwei felt that those people really cut off Jiang Xingyi's fingers just because he didn't get the gold coins. They didn't seem like people who were just after money.

More like a threat.

One type of threat is, if you don’t hand over what I want, I will really attack you.

Gu Huaiwei couldn't enter the detention center, so she hired a lawyer overnight and asked the lawyer to find out about Sister Jin's case and provide her with feedback at any time.

Then, Gu Huaiwei drove to the Jiang family's private hospital.

She came to the door of the ward and saw Jiang Richen sitting in the corridor with a grim expression on his face. His originally neat suit was a little wrinkled, his legs were spread apart, his arms were resting on his legs, he was hunched over with his head down, and he was on the verge of getting irritated.

Seeing Gu Huaiwei coming, Jiang Richen slowly stood up from his seat. He looked at her with a complicated expression: "I thought you wouldn't come."

"Don't think too much, I'm just here to bring Mu Lingxi a midnight snack." Gu Huaiwei raised the egg-filled pancake in her hand.

"Miss Mu is in the ward." Jiang Richen moved aside to make way.

Gu Huaiwei walked into the ward and saw Mu Lingxi sitting in a daze on the chair beside her, her eyes dull, as if she had been frightened.

Gu Huaiwei handed her the bag in her hand: "I brought you some egg-filled pancakes, eat them while they're hot."

Mu Lingxi took the midnight snack, but she obviously had no appetite. She took a symbolic bite and put it down.

Gu Huaiwei frowned and asked, "What's going on? Jiang Xingyi is injured, why are you with him?"

Mu Lingxi's voice trembled a little: "Jiang Xingyi stopped me and asked me to intercede for him and get some gold coins from you.

Just then, a group of people suddenly rushed out, tied us up, put us in a car, and took us to a warehouse in the suburbs.

The leader chopped off six of his fingers with a kitchen knife right in front of me, then threw his phone to me and told me to call the police.”

The scene was extremely bloody.

Mu Lingxi will always remember the young man who was in the lead. He had a numb expression and didn't say a word after he found out that Jiang Xingyi didn't get what they wanted.

The knife fell with a loud swoop.

Half of Jiang Xingyi's left palm and the middle finger of his right hand were chopped off.

After doing all this, that person was still able to calmly ask Mu Lingxi to call the police.

Thinking of this, Mu Lingxi revealed a painful expression: "Those people didn't run away at all. After doing these things, they just stood there waiting for the police to come."

Gu Huaiwei was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Are you not hurt?"

Mu Lingxi shook her head.

Gu Huaiwei quietly put a gold coin into her palm and lowered her voice a bit: "If one day you encounter a similar threat, give them this gold coin and tell them to come to me if they have any problems. If anything happens to you, they will never get what they want."

Mu Lingxi looked into Gu Huaiwei's eyes, nodded, and clenched the gold coin: "Actually... I think I've seen the man who did it before, next to Sister Changge."

"What?"

"That person seems to have done business with Sister Changge before." Mu Lingxi herself was not sure. She had only helped Gu Changge a few times before and was not sure if the person she had seen before was this person.

Jiang Xingyi lay on the bed with a pale face, his hands wrapped like dumplings in bandages. The palm of his left hand was already necrotic, and the middle finger of his right hand had been reattached. He was still in a coma.

There's no point in guarding here.

Gu Huaiwei was about to leave the hospital with Mu Lingxi. When she reached the door, she suddenly saw Jiang Yingyue walking towards her with a pile of medical records.

As soon as Jiang Yingyue saw Gu Huaiwei, her eyes instantly became flustered.

Her face flushed, tears welled up in her eyes, and then she tore at her skirt like crazy.

"Gu Huaiwei!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, "I'll give back everything you want from your sister! You can have whatever you want, but please, stay away from the Jiang family! I beg you!"

The groundless accusations came out of nowhere.

Gu Huaiwei stood there, watching her go crazy calmly: "Ms. Jiang, calm down. I am a good citizen who abides by the law. I didn't hire those people."

Jiang Richen quickly walked forward, took off his suit jacket and draped it over Jiang Yingyue's shoulders.

He put his arm around Jiang Yingyue's shoulders and said sternly, "Yingyue, calm down! The murderer has surrendered!"

But Jiang Yingyue couldn't hear anything. She shook her head desperately, clutching Jiang Richen's white shirt tightly with both hands, and pointed at Gu Huaiwei almost in despair.

"Brother, no! It's her! She and her sister are definitely not ordinary orphans!

We've been investigating them for so long. Even though the Gu family has gone bankrupt and Gu Changge is missing, there's always a force behind the scenes protecting them!"
