Chapter 265 I'm so useless
"What are you doing?" My voice was particularly clear in the empty office.
She shuddered and dropped her phone to the ground. The screen was still on, showing the password interface for the safe.
"I...I..." She picked up the phone in a panic.
"I want to help Sisijian organize the documents..."
"Mr. Gu, don't be angry." Aunt Zhang appeared at the door at some point.
"Xiao Li is also kind-hearted..."
I stared at them, and memories came flooding back. Pregnant woman Li Wan was always the last one to leave work, Aunt Zhang often cleaned near the finance office, and those deliberate attempts to please...
Three days later, someone from the tax bureau called.
"Someone reported that your company issued false invoices."
I flipped open the file, which was a scan of the company's account book for the previous quarter, which clearly showed several non-existent transactions. I looked up at the glass wall and saw that Li Wan's workstation was empty.
I was stunned: "Tax evasion? This is impossible!"
I took a deep breath and said to Xu Sisi, "I'm going to the tax bureau. You guys continue working."
Xu Sisi looked at me worriedly: "Sister Mo, do you want me to go with you?"
"No need, the innocent will be innocent."
Suddenly, the folder in my hand fell to the ground with a "bang". The recent stress had already exhausted me physically and mentally, and at this moment I felt dizzy.
Xu Sisi's face turned pale and she added, "They said they would be here soon. They are probably almost here."
I forced myself to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen.
"Waiting for you in the conference room."
Xu Sisi noticed my strangeness and said, "Ms. Gu, you look very bad, do you want to..."
Before I could finish my words, I was already bent over in pain, with cold sweat dripping down my forehead. Xu Sisi quickly supported me and said, "Call an ambulance!"
Jiang Yichen was outside when his phone suddenly vibrated. He didn't want to answer it, but when he saw that it was Xu Sisi calling, his heart tightened for some reason.
"Mr. Jiang, Miss Gu..." The voice on the other end of the phone was tearful.
He stood up suddenly and dropped his chair heavily to the ground: "What happened to her?"
"I suddenly had abdominal pain and called an ambulance..."
He couldn't hear the rest of the words. When he rushed out of the meeting room, the secretary caught up with him: "Mr. Jiang, there is another meeting in ten minutes..."
"Cancel!" he almost yelled.
The elevator was too slow, so he rushed directly into the emergency passage. He ran down in two steps, not even bothering to take his suit jacket. In the underground garage, he almost jumped into the driver's seat, his hands shaking so much that he could hardly insert the key.
Along the way, he ran three red lights. The veins on his hands holding the steering wheel were bulging, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. My pale face and her recent tired look kept flashing in my mind.
"Damn it!" He slammed his fist on the steering wheel. If he had known, he shouldn't have let her handle so much alone.
"Gu Mo! Where is Gu Mo?" His voice was trembling.
The pain came in waves, and I held Xu Sisi's arm tightly. In a trance, I heard her anxious voice and the sound of chaotic footsteps. Someone picked me up, and I smelled a familiar cologne scent. It was Jiang Yichen.
"Momo, hold on." There was extreme tension in his voice.
The sirens of the ambulance pierced the sky. I lay on the stretcher, feeling a little fuzzy. Jiang Yichen kept holding my hand, his palms were full of sweat.
When I arrived at the hospital, I was pushed into the emergency room. Under the glaring white light, the busy figures of the doctors swayed before my eyes.
"The fetal heart rate is normal, and the uterine contractions are not obvious," the doctor said after the examination. "It may be false uterine contractions caused by excessive pressure. I recommend hospitalization for observation."
I breathed a sigh of relief, tears streaming down my face unconsciously. At this moment Jiang Yichen rushed in, without even having time to put on his suit jacket, and his tie was crooked.
"How is she, Doc?" he asked breathlessly.
"The fetus is fine," the doctor took off his mask, "but the pregnant woman needs to rest well and cannot be stimulated again."
Jiang Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked to my bedside. He reached out and wiped the tears from my face, his movements incredibly gentle.
"I'm sorry." I choked, "I'm so useless..."
"Don't say that." He held my hand, "I failed to protect you."
At this time, my cell phone rang. It was my grandma calling. Jiang Yichen looked at the caller ID and asked, "Do you want to answer it?"
I shook my head: "Don't let grandma worry."
He nodded and hung up the phone for me. I then noticed that the back of his shirt was soaked, and he had obviously run.
"The tax bureau..." I started hesitantly.
"Never mind," he interrupted me. "You and the baby are the most important thing now."
The nurse came in to give me an IV, and Jiang Yichen stayed by my bed. As the night deepened, he patted my hand gently, like coaxing a child.
"Go to sleep," he whispered, "I'm here."
I closed my eyes, but couldn't fall asleep. The recent events flashed through my mind, Li Yunma's abnormality, the actions of the Jin family, and that mysterious man...
"Yichen," I said softly, "I don't think things are that simple."
"I know." He tucked the quilt in for me.
"When you're better, we'll find out together."
I nodded, finally feeling a little relieved.
After a few days, I went to the tax bureau to provide additional information. I was taken to an office. The staff took out a stack of documents and said, "Ms. Gu, this is the evidence provided by the whistleblower. Please explain it to me."
I looked at the document carefully, my face becoming increasingly grim. "These data are forged! Our studio's accounts have always been clear, there is absolutely no way there could be a problem!"
The staff member frowned: "But the whistleblower provided detailed evidence, we need to investigate further."
At this moment, the office door was pushed open and Jiang Yichen strode in: "I am Gu Mo's husband and her lawyer. May I ask if you have any evidence to prove that she evaded taxes?"
The staff member was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Jiang, we are just following the procedures..."
"Procedure?" Jiang Yichen sneered, "You interrogate my wife without any solid evidence. Is this your procedure?"
The staff was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Jiang, we also received a report..."
"Who is the whistleblower?" Jiang Yichen interrupted him, "Please provide the whistleblower's information, otherwise I have the right to suspect that this is a malicious false accusation."
The staff looked at each other and finally compromised: "Ms. Gu, you can go back first, but we need to investigate further."
On the way home, I leaned on Jiang Yichen's shoulder and closed my eyes tiredly: "Yichen, I really didn't..."
"I know," Jiang Yichen hugged me gently, "I know best what kind of person you are."
He bent down and kissed my forehead: "You should have a good rest these days, I will take care of the studio matters. Honey, you have been working so hard recently!"
"Oh well!"
I nodded, leaned into his arms, and slowly fell asleep.
In the next few days, I was forced to rest at home, and I called Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian every day to learn about the studio's situation.
"Sister Mo," Xu Sisi said on the phone, "the tax bureau is here to check our accounts again, but our accounts are clear, so they can't find anything."
I breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
