The day Shen Zhiqiu was diagnosed with twins, her husband Gu Qingyan brazenly moved into their marital home with Xiao Wanqing.
She endured heartache and suggested Xiao Wanqing stay at a hotel...
"What?" Shen Zhi Qiu looked shocked, her expression one of disbelief.
Lu Jia sighed and told Shen Zhi Qiu the whole story.
"I'm sorry, Zhi Qiu. I shouldn't have taken it upon myself to delete all the records on your phone. It was my fault."
Even if it was under the guise of "for your own good," I was still in the wrong, and I apologize. I'm sorry!
Lu Jia looked at Shen Zhi Qiu with an apologetic expression. This matter was like a time bomb in his heart, making him very uncomfortable.
He had promised Shen Zhi Qiu that the two of them should be very honest with each other so that their relationship could be free of barriers.
Now that I've said it out loud, I feel much more relieved.
After understanding the whole story, Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips and looked at Lu Jia, who seemed helpless like a child who had done something wrong. Shen Zhi Qiu sighed.
"Don't hide it from me next time!"
I know you and my brother mean well, but you should have told me about something this important.
After saying that, Shen Zhi Qiu took Lu Jia's hand and said softly, "Sit down and talk."
He called Rong Mo and asked bluntly, "Brother, how is Gu Qingyan now?"
Rong Mo had just finished a meeting and was walking towards his office when he saw Shen Zhi Qiu's call. A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips as he quickly answered the call. He hadn't expected Shen Zhi Qiu to ask this.
Rong Mo's expression darkened, and he quickly walked back to his office and closed the door.
"The doctors are treating him now. The preliminary investigation results indicate that someone put drugs in his food, causing him to become somewhat mentally unstable."
Seeing that Shen Zhi Qiu already knew, Rong Mo no longer hid it from her.
"Is there any danger to his life?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked anxiously.
“No.” Rong Mo paused for a moment. “It just takes some time to recover. Zhi Qiu, I didn’t mean to hide it from you, but you just gave birth, and I was afraid of upsetting you emotionally. I wanted to minimize the risks.”
"Yes, Gu Qingyan's father called me today. He said Gu Qingyan has gone missing. I made up an excuse to keep it from him for now, but this can't go on forever. Brother, you should tell the doctor to get Gu Qingyan cured as soon as possible."
"Yes, I know." Rong Mo nodded.
“Brother.” Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips. “Please don’t make things difficult for Gu Qing Yan anymore. I know you resent Gu Qing Yan because of the postpartum hemorrhage I experienced, but his parents have always treated me very well, like their own daughter. I don’t want them to worry or be sad.”
I don't hate Gu Qingyan, nor do I want any involvement with him. Naturally, I don't want you, brother, to have anything to do with him either. If something really happens to him in our family, it will be very awkward for both sides when it comes to the investigation. I still hope to maintain a calm facade, at least to put Mom and Dad at ease.
From now on, we'll try to avoid direct contact with Gu Qingyan. If we need to see the child, we'll discuss how to do it, but we'll refuse to let Gu Qingyan pick him up personally, so we can avoid seeing each other as much as possible.
“Sigh,” Rong Mo sighed, “Zhi Qiu, I understand what you mean. I will urge the doctor to help him recover as soon as possible.”
----------
Lakeside Road, Lanxin Bar.
Xiao Lei was inside, watching the surveillance video from that night frame by frame.
At first, Little Fish was just happily drinking with a group of beautiful women around him, but as he drank, the guy started dancing.
Xiao Lei could tell at a glance that he had drunk too much, and his face began to look rather unpleasant.
Xiao Lei clicked the mouse to fast forward the video until he saw Xiao Yuzai staggering towards the toilet. Only then did he release the mouse and watch carefully.
A minute later, a man in a black suit at the next table walked quickly toward the restroom, but he didn't go in. Instead, he stood outside the restroom door and started smoking, seemingly waiting for someone.
As Xiaoyuzi staggered out of the restroom, the man immediately grabbed Xiaoyuzi's jacket, shoved him against the wall, and then whispered something to him.
From the initial anger and confusion to the subsequent repeated nodding, everything matched what Xiaoyuzai had said.
It seems this is the right person.
However, he was mostly facing away from the monitor or with his head down, so his face was never captured on camera.
Xiao Lei continued reviewing the surveillance footage and finally managed to capture a clear image of the man's face.
He immediately sent the photo to Wei Qiao.
Rong Mo returned to the villa and immediately called Wei Qiao over as well.
“Zhi Qiu already knows.” Rong Mo’s tone was very calm. “Now we need to find a way to help Gu Qingyan recover quickly. I can’t let my sister waste any effort on this person.”
"I know, Mr. Rong. The doctors have been taking turns watching over Gu Qingyan, and her condition is getting better and better. She's no longer talking nonsense or acting crazy." Wei Qiao bowed apologetically.
"So it's already recovered?"
"It can't be said that he has fully recovered, because he still gets confused sometimes. And it seems that he has forgotten everything that happened at the villa that day." Wei Qiao was also a little puzzled, but the doctor said that the medication might cause temporary amnesia.
Rong Mo frowned. "I'll go take a look."
As the doctor pushed open the door, he saw Rong Mo walk in and quickly stood up to greet him, "Mr. Rong, what brings you here in person?"
"Gu Qingyan really has amnesia?" Rong Mo looked at Gu Qingyan, who was sleeping, with some disbelief. Apart from some scratches on his face and arms, he seemed to be perfectly fine.
"Yes, it seems so at the moment. It appears he's selectively forgetting the things that caused him great pain. There are always cases like this in medicine," the doctor explained patiently.
"Any other problems?" Rong Mo asked. "Won't your brain get stupid?"
"No, Mr. Rong, don't worry. All the necessary tests have been done, there won't be any problems."
"Okay, then take good care of him and heal his injuries as soon as possible," Rong Mo instructed.
"Once he recovers, Wei Qiao, find two bodyguards and personally escort him back to Nancheng unharmed." Rong Mo thought of Shen Zhi Qiu's words and didn't want to put her in a difficult position.
“Yes, Mr. Rong.” Wei Qiao pursed her lips. “I’m sorry, Mr. Rong, it was all caused by my acting on my own initiative.”
“It’s not entirely your fault. I wanted to beat him up too. But teaching him a lesson is enough; his life can’t be at risk,” Rong Mo said seriously.
At this moment, Wei Qiao received a message from Xiao Yuzai. He opened the photo and was shocked.
"President Rong, we've found out. It was he who bribed my men to drug Gu Qingyan." As he spoke, Wei Qiao showed the screen to Rong Mo.
Rong Mo was stunned for a moment, "How could it be him?"
