Chapter 85 Su Mengxue learns the truth!
Gu Changhe tilted his head to look at Lin Wenbin, who nodded at him. He then turned his gaze back to the surprised Su Mengxue. He held her hand and patted it gently. His eyes were heavy, and he lowered his voice and said, "Girl, Yun Ting and I are fine."
"Gu Yunting isn't dead?" Su Mengxue's pupils trembled violently. She froze, a gasp of disbelief escaping her throat. Then, her eyes suddenly heated up, and she anxiously asked, "Grandpa Gu, is Gu Yunting...really okay?"
Gu Changhe looked at Su Mengxue, who was full of hope but also afraid of her hopes being dashed. He felt guilty and distressed. He nodded at her with great confidence, "Don't worry, child. Although Yun Ting hasn't woken up yet, his vital signs are stable and he has passed the critical period."
Su Mengxue's red eyes instantly rolled out of ecstasy. She bit her lower lip tightly, restraining her surging emotions, and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Grandpa Gu, what is going on?"
Before Gu Changhe could speak, Lin Wenbin stepped in front of her and explained solemnly, "If we tell the outside world that Wang Jun is dead, then there will be no evidence, and the people behind him will never come out again. The only way is to announce that he is still in a coma and may wake up at any time. Combined with the news that Yun Ting is in trouble and the old man is seriously ill, we can force the real mastermind out."
Su Mengxue wiped the tears from her face, raised her flushed face to the middle-aged man, her almond-shaped eyes widening: "Why not just release the news that Wang Jun is unconscious? Why set up Gu Yunting and Grandpa Gu? Don't you know that I am almost dying of guilt?"
Gu Changhe could hear the dissatisfaction and accusation in Su Mengxue's words. He knew how worried Su Mengxue was about him and Yun Ting. Just as he was about to explain to her, Lin Wenbin took the lead and said coldly, "With so many people involved, the news of Wang Jun's accident can't be concealed for long. If we don't do this, how can we force out the mastermind in such a short time?"
Seeing how fierce he was, Su Mengxue sniffed hard, her eyes flushed with grievance, and she asked in an unhappy tone: "Then couldn't you tell me in advance? It would save me..."
Lin Wenbin's face darkened. He was always the one giving orders to others. When had he ever been criticized by others, especially by a young girl?
However, considering she had played a significant role in Yun Ting's condition and that she genuinely cared about him, he heaved a long sigh and patiently explained, "After I entered the emergency room, Yun Ting was bleeding profusely in his abdominal cavity. He was practically in a life-or-death situation. His eyes were blurry, and his breathing and heartbeat were nearly gone. I thought I'd give it a try anyway, so I stuffed the jade pendant you gave him into his hand and told him to wait for him outside. Suddenly, a miracle happened. Not only did the bleeding in his abdominal cavity stop, but his breathing and heartbeat also gradually stabilized."
He paused and added, "The doctor said he's fine, but the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet and he's still in a coma. That's why I made this impromptu decision. I did this not only to find the mastermind as soon as possible, but also for Yun Ting's future."
Su Mengxue didn't react for a moment and blurted out, "What does this have to do with Gu Yunting's future?"
Lin Wenbin's eyes darkened. "Do you think it's as simple as you think? There were only three of you in the warehouse at the time. Wang Jun is dead, and you and Yun Ting knew each other. If Wang Jun's family comes and makes a scene, accusing you and Yun Ting of killing Wang Jun, what evidence do you have to prove that you two acted in self-defense?"
"But Wang Jun, it was indeed he who kidnapped me and then deliberately attacked me... He was the one who first swung the knife at us. Gu Yunting did this to save me..."
Before Su Mengxue could finish her words, Lin Wenbin interrupted her with a cold tone, "You just said that you took the initiative to go with him, so how can you say it's kidnapping? If Wang Jun's family insists that you two are in a relationship, and then they turn around and accuse you and Yun Ting, saying that this wasn't kidnapping but a murder of passion, how are you going to prove yourselves?"
"I...I..." Su Mengxue opened her mouth, but was unable to refute for a moment.
Gu Changhe found the perfect moment and interrupted earnestly, "Good boy, Grandpa knows how sad you were just now, but Wenbin did this for Yunting's own good. He announced to the public that Yunting was in trouble, and he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to accept it if I knew, so he came to me immediately and explained the situation to me."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he frowned and sneered, "Just as he expected, Su Qin really came to see me and told me the news of Yun Ting's accident. In order to avoid arousing suspicion from the outside world, I had no choice but to put on this show."
Su Mengxue frowned, clenched her fingers tightly, and looked indignant: "I guessed that she told you. This woman is full of evil intentions. I will definitely not let her off easily when I get out."
Gu Changhe and Lin Wenbin looked at each other tacitly. They both liked this girl's personality.
Gu Changhe patted the back of her hand and whispered, "Child, now is not the time to show your hand. When you get out, you have to act as sad as you did just now, or even sadder."
Su Mengxue nodded suddenly: "Grandpa Gu, I understand."
Gu Changhe nodded with satisfaction, and then, thinking of what Su Mengxue had just said, his eyes suddenly became serious: "Girl, when this matter is resolved, you can marry Yun Ting."
"Marry?" Su Mengxue was confused. Just as she was about to refuse, Gu Changhe interrupted with an earnest look in his eyes, "You are pregnant with Yun Ting's child. He must be responsible for you and the child in your belly."
"Grandpa Gu, but me?"
Su Mengxue pursed her lips. She originally thought that Gu Yunting was gone, so she had the idea of leaving a bloodline for him. But now she knew that this was false, and she was afraid that giving birth to a child would make her repeat her parents' old path and she would regret it later.
How could Gu Changhe not understand her thoughts? He half-persuaded, half-pleaded, "Mengxue, I will respect your decision whether to keep the child or not. But no matter what, Yun Ting is the child's father after all. When he wakes up, I hope you can let him know first."
Su Mengxue could see the reluctance in Gu Changhe's eyes. He must be hoping that she could give birth to the baby in her belly. Now that Wang Jun's problem had not been resolved, she couldn't bear to tell her her decision immediately. She just wanted to wait until the storm subsided.
After hesitating for a moment, she responded, "Grandpa Gu, don't worry, I will."
Gu Changhe looked at Su Mengxue and had a lot to say, but he didn't want to put too much pressure and burden on her. Those words of persuasion could only be stuck in his throat, and finally he nodded with a slightly gloomy expression.
When Su Mengxue was about to leave, Lin Wenbin gave her some more instructions before letting her go.
Then Lin Wenbin looked at Gu Changhe and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, do you think this girl has Yun Ting in her heart?"
Gu Changhe looked at the closed door and said, "This girl has a strong mindset and won't be swayed by others. Originally, I thought it was Yun Ting who was being too enthusiastic, but now that Yun Ting is in trouble, she's actually thinking about having a child for him. I think she does care about Yun Ting, but I'm afraid she hasn't even realized it yet."
After a long moment, he lowered his head and sighed heavily, saying with great regret, "She probably won't keep the baby in her belly."
Lin Wenbin looked at the old man with a melancholy look in his eyes, and then said firmly: "Don't worry, she will marry Yun Ting, and the child will be born safely."
