Chapter 198 Going to Stay at the Gu Family's House



Ming Jiayi scratched her ear with her index finger. The doctor had said so much; where was she supposed to begin answering...?

Standing to the side, Gu Shaojin glanced at Ming Jiayi, then looked at the doctor in a low voice and asked, "Are you sure she only has these external injuries? Is further examination not necessary?"

Ming Jiayi tilted her head and glanced at Gu Shaojin, then tugged at his sleeve.

"I really only have these external injuries; there's absolutely nothing else wrong with me."

"Where did you fall from that spot that caused this scratch?" the doctor asked Ming Jiayi earnestly.

Ming Jiayi nodded and answered in detail.

"Yes, I fell through a small hole in the stage. The hole was a bit narrow, and the wood around the opening was quite sharp, which is why my hand was scratched like this."

But the hole was very shallow, only up to my neck, so the rest of my body was fine.

The doctor nodded in sudden realization, able to roughly imagine it, and then heard her reply jokingly...

"Unless it's a fall from a great height, it won't damage any internal organs, Mr. Gu, don't worry. Oh, Mr. Gu really dotes on his wife."

Ming Jiayi rubbed her forehead, feeling quite helpless.

Is this what you call spoiling your wife...?

This doctor is making things up out of thin air.

Gu Shaojin opened the driver's side door and smoothly got in.

He opened the car window and looked at Ming Jiayi, who was standing blankly beside the car, and asked,

"Your brother said he's staying at my house again tonight. You didn't come last night, are you coming tonight?"

Ming Jiayi thought of the text message Ming Fengche had sent last night, and also thought that Gu Shaojin might have to go to the hospital to take care of Su Heyi tonight, so she nodded in agreement.

It didn't matter to her where she stayed...

"Are you going back to the event venue?" Gu Shaojin asked.

Ming Jiayi pondered for a moment.

It seems like there's nothing to do when I go back.

"I'm not going back. Are you still going to the company? If you are, I'll take a taxi to your house."

"No, let's get in the car."

Event site

No sooner had Ming Jiayi left than Lin Xiaorou arrived at the venue.

She felt that the reason for Ming Jiayi's injury was definitely not simple. How could the stage suddenly collapse?

She needs to get an explanation from the program team and the event organizers...

Some compensation.

"President Lin." Mo Xing stood at the entrance of the secret security passage in the venue, waiting for Lin Xiaorou.

Lin Xiaorou nodded and quickly walked forward in her high heels. Mo Xing followed nimbly behind her. Lin Xiaorou asked simply,

Where did Jiayi go?

“Jiayi was taken away by President Gu, probably to the hospital,” Mo Xing replied quickly. “The event organizers didn’t send anyone to monitor the scene tonight, so we can only try to resolve this with the production team first.”

Lin Xiaorou turned around and looked at Mo Xing with a puzzled expression, somewhat shocked, "The event organizers didn't send anyone to the scene?"

Mo Xing nodded. "That's right. I've already told the event's director that you're coming, Mr. Lin. He's waiting for you in his office right now."

Lin Xiaorou frowned and awkwardly touched her upper left abdomen.

My stomach is starting to hurt again...

"Which office? Take me there," Lin Xiaorou said, biting her lower lip slightly, sounding a little uncomfortable.

"OK."

They both walked quite fast, and soon they arrived at the director's office.

Actually, calling it an office is a bit of a stretch; it's more like a monitoring room.

There were at least a hundred monitor screens inside, and the director sat there watching them one by one, directing the staff to play the footage from one monitor to the live stream link.

"Good morning, Director." Mo Xing pushed open the half-closed door, went in, and greeted the director, "Our Director Lin is here."

Fan Qingche swiveld his chair, glanced back at Lin Xiaorou and Mo Xing, and then said rather unenthusiastically, "You're here? Please have a seat."

Lin Xiaorou nodded, casually pulled up a chair and sat down next to Fan Qingche. She crossed her legs, crossed her arms, and looked up arrogantly at the monitor screen.

"Director Fan, have you found out why the stage suddenly collapsed?"

Fan Qingche's gaze kept scanning back and forth across the monitor screens, and he gave a somewhat perfunctory reply.

"Oh dear, look at this, there are so many companies that have performances to come, how can we have time to check this now? We can only check it after the event is over."

Lin Xiaorou was particularly dissatisfied with Fan Qingche's cold attitude, and heard her say in a low voice,

"After the event? Sure, I can wait. But it's about President Ming... He instructed me to give him an explanation by today. But it seems like there are only two or three hours left today, right?"

Fan Qingche still didn't look directly at Lin Xiaorou, but his voice sounded somewhat sincere as he spoke.

"I see... Then we really can't keep President Ming waiting too long. How about I have the staff pull up all the video and recordings from earlier, and then we can trouble President Lin to sit here and watch them?"

Lin Xiaorou frowned.

This Fan Qingche is truly skilled and daring; even threatening him with Ming Fengche's name didn't work.

They actually turned around and ordered her around?

"Mr. Lin, as you can see, everyone is busy, there's no time for anyone. Since you're in such a hurry, why don't you take a look first, okay?"

Mo Xing stood obediently to the side, not daring to say anything.

As expected of a big-name director, he's so arrogant...

Lin Xiaorou bit her lower lip, trying her best to calm herself down.

A second later, as if she had thought of something, her mood suddenly brightened.

"By the way, Mo Xing, I remember you just said that Jiayi was taken away by President Gu, right?"

Mo Xing nodded hesitantly and replied, "Yes... it seems that President Gu took Jiayi to the hospital. And President Gu seemed particularly angry just now."

Although Fan Qingche's eyes were still on the monitor, his ears were perked up.

He memorized every word of Lin Xiaorou and Mo Xing's conversation.

The Ming family had declined significantly a few years ago, but has only recently begun to rise to prominence again.

It's possible that Fan Qingche isn't afraid of the Ming family, but it's absolutely impossible that he isn't afraid of Gu Shaojin.

Lin Xiaorou feigned surprise and slapped her forehead, then said in a slightly exaggerated manner,

"Oh dear, I just remembered, didn't I? When President Ming was instructing me, he mentioned President Gu, saying that President Gu would send someone over to investigate in detail later."

If Mr. Gu's people find out that the reason Jiayi fell wasn't simple, or that it was due to someone's carelessness, then given Mr. Gu's temper... sigh...

Fan Qingche swallowed hard, then pretended to press the in-ear monitor and picked up the walkie-talkie to speak.

"Oh? You guys have time? Then I'll leave the investigation of Ming Jiayi's matter to you. You must have a result before 12 o'clock."
