Chapter 105 It's yours, will you take responsibility?
"Is it Gu Yanchen's or Liang Yanchuan's?"
He paused, then added meaningfully, "Or perhaps it's Liang Jian's?"
Ji Ying gazed at his face, which was feigned calm but was full of gossip, and her fluctuating emotions subsided.
She slowly raised an eyebrow: "If it's yours, will you take responsibility?"
Inside the car, it suddenly became as quiet as a secluded paradise.
Liang Yizhi was silent for two seconds before replying, "Once you've done it, you won't shirk responsibility."
He looked out the window with an air of nonchalance, only his eyelashes trembling almost imperceptibly.
Just then, Ji Ying's phone rang.
It was Chen Yuan calling.
She noticed that she had been in frequent contact with Chen Yuan lately.
"Assistant Chen, what is it?"
Chen Yuan's voice was urgent on the other end, "Madam, Mr. Gu has been in a car accident. His entire right arm is a bloody mess, and we need you to sign a critical condition notice."
Ji Ying's fingers tightened unconsciously. "How could this happen?"
"Master Gong instigated those former employees of Old Master Gu to push President Gu into a corner. These past few days, President Gu has been searching for products similar to your heavy-duty truck new energy batteries. He was supposed to go to the airport today, but..."
Chen Yuan sighed.
Ji Ying asked, "Was it deliberate, or an accident?"
Chen Yuan: "It's hard to say, but I was fine in the driver's seat, so the investigation results might lean towards the former. I wanted to call you on the way to the hospital, but Mr. Gu told me not to let you know. He was even glad that you were no longer their target."
Ji Ying choked up, "Which hospital?"
Chen Yuan, "Minghe."
Ji Ying hung up the phone, her eyes a little red.
"Can you take me to Minghe Hospital?"
She was asking Xue Qin.
Xue Qin glanced at his boss's expression in the rearview mirror and instructed the driver to turn around.
Ji Ying fell silent, her mood visibly somber.
Liang Yizhi said calmly, "Shouldn't you be happy to be widowed, given your situation?"
Ji Ying rubbed her nose and glared at him, "Why are you spouting such obvious truths!"
Liang Yizhi looked away.
The car stopped in front of Minghe Hospital.
Ji Ying got out of the car and hurriedly ran into the hospital.
Xue Qin glanced at the rearview mirror frequently and tentatively asked, "If you're so worried, then our relationship probably hasn't broken down yet."
Liang Yizhi kept his head down, working on the documents, and ignored what he said.
Xue Qin got excited, turned around and grabbed the back of the passenger seat, lowering his voice: "Boss, did you guys really sleep together that night?"
Seeing that Liang Yizhi had no reaction, Xue Qin continued his analysis, "I was chasing after someone, and I was only gone for about twenty minutes. When I came back, your clothes were all wet..."
He suddenly widened his eyes, "Boss, you can't possibly only last twenty minutes, can you?"
Liang Yizhi slowly raised his eyes, his gaze was calm, but the vast ocean in his eyes was frozen solid.
"Are you tired of living?"
Xue Qin turned around and grinned, "How could that be? I'm planning to celebrate my 80th birthday."
...
Ji Ying rushed to the foot of the surgical building and suddenly stopped.
Why should she worry about him?
Why should we sign his critical condition notice?
Did he turn back for himself?
I almost got manipulated by Chen Yuan!
She gave a self-deprecating smile, picked up the bag of Chinese medicine, and turned to leave.
Just as they arrived at the gate, they bumped into Wen Lingxue, who was hurriedly getting out of the car.
Wen Lingxue was still dressed in white, and her almond-shaped eyes, red from crying at the cemetery, made her look as fragile as thin porcelain.
Seeing Ji Ying walk out, she subconsciously glanced inside the hospital, her face filled with undisguised hostility.
"Didn't you want to divorce him to make things right for me? What are you doing here to see him now? Do you think I don't know you're a two-faced art master?"
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow. "I can't compare to you in keeping your word. Your ability to lie and do rotten things is unmatched."
“Ji Ying, don’t think I don’t know that you went to see my mother the night before she died. Your hands are stained with blood. You are a devil too. I will not let you go.”
Ji Ying sneered, "Wasn't I, this devil, forced out of you by your own hands? Now that your mother is gone, Gu Gong might not listen to you completely. Miss Wen, where are you going to find another cannon fodder to cover up your true colors as a white flower in public and a shrew in private?"
"you……"
Wen Lingxue's eyes were deep and dark, and her nude-painted nails left crescent-shaped marks on the Hermès bag strap.
Ji Ying passed by her, scoffed, "Go ahead and mess with me if you want to die. But if you can't even handle the man I threw away, then you don't deserve the compliment of 'she-devil'."
Ji Ying left with a smile, while Wen Lingxue's face turned as gloomy as a ghost.
In the intensive care unit, Gu Yan sat on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the time on his phone.
Chen Yuan asked, "Should I call again and ask?"
Seeing that his boss didn't respond, he took it upon himself to turn on speakerphone again and dial Ji Ying's number.
"Madam, where are you? The critical condition notice is still waiting for you to sign."
"Assistant Chen," Ji Ying said, already in the taxi, "you sign it for him."
Chen Yuan quickly said, "How can that be? I'm just an assistant..."
Ji Ying interrupted him, "Didn't you sign my critical condition notice?"
Chen Yuan was suddenly silenced.
Gu Yanchen chuckled silently, his chest throbbing with pain.
Chen Yuan glanced sideways, waiting for his instructions.
Gu Yanchen raised his chin.
Chen Yuan understood and said into the phone, "Madam, Mr. Gu is being driven to the brink of despair by Master Gong. He used to have you by his side, but now even Aunt Yang is missing... Master Gong now dares to offend even the old lady. I'm afraid no one can control him anymore."
Ji Ying instantly understood the meaning behind Chen Yuan's words.
Che Guo called her over, but it was probably just an excuse. Gu Yanchen must already know about Yang Sao's pregnancy.
“Assistant Chen,” Ji Ying said calmly, “we’re getting a divorce soon, and the Gu family’s affairs have nothing to do with me.”
Chen Yuan was unsure how to respond, so Gu Yanchen took the phone.
"What if I told you myself that if I couldn't get through this, I would have nothing?"
Ji Ying gritted her teeth. "When are we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the formalities?"
"Ji Ying!" Gu Yanchen's anger flared up, but he suppressed it. "You can't protect Aunt Yang. Gu Gong will find her sooner or later. Do you want to hand over the bargaining chip to Gu Gong yourself?"
Ji Ying remained silent on the other end of the phone.
After a moment, she said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't know where Aunt Yang is."
The phone went dead. A metallic taste rose in Gu Yan's throat, and a burning pain shot through his chest.
She no longer cared about him.
They didn't care whether he lived or died.
How ridiculous! He was trying so hard to win her back, but she had already uprooted him from her heart.
Seeing his boss's face turn pale, Chen Yuan quickly said, "President Gu, please calm down. Miss Wen has arrived and has been waiting outside."
Gu Yanchen's clenched fist gradually loosened, and he said impatiently, "How did she know I was in the hospital?"
“This…” Chen Yuan lowered his head, “I didn’t say that.”
"Let her in," Gu Yanchen said.
Wen Lingxue entered the ward. Gu Yanshen was taking the medicine from Chen Yuan when she quickly went to pour water.
He did have a minor accident and injured his arm, but it wasn't as bad as a bloody mess.
Chen Yuan was still reporting on his work.
"Professor Guo Guqing is a leading figure in the field of new energy battery research and development in China. He has published many important papers, and his research results on heavy-duty truck batteries are similar to those of Qingsui. However, he has focused on teaching in recent years and rarely makes public appearances. It is not easy to see him now."
Gu Yanchen stared at the pills in his palm; before even tasting them, a bitter taste rose on his tongue.
"Is similarity useful?"
Chen Yuan whispered, "He was once my wife's mentor."
"Is it Professor Guo Guqing from Tsinghua University?"
Wen Lingxue brought the water over.
Gu Yanchen didn't take it, so Chen Yuan took it.
"Miss Wen, have you heard of his name?"
Chen Yuan thought she was just asking casually.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Wen Lingxue suddenly knelt down beside Gu Yanchen's sickbed and took his hand.
"Brother, I said I would be your help, so please don't reject me anymore."
