Huo Yuxuan is missing.
When he received the call, Gu Xiuyuan was making breakfast for Ji Shuyu.
He didn't want to kill Huo Yuxuan, at least she shouldn't die in his hands.
Intentional injury, murder by hire, the evil she had committed was enough to keep her in prison for the rest of her life. Even if she was sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment, how could the life there be endured by someone who lived a life of luxury?
"Any news from the police?"
Gu Xiuyuan turned off the fire on the stove, reheated the stewed chicken soup, and garnished it with a few green onions.
"The police have launched an investigation into the dean's 'accident' and have determined it was not an accidental death. A case has been opened for investigation."
"Then let the police handle it!"
Because of Huo Yuxuan's previous news, the dean had also attracted considerable attention. If it was proven that she had died from Huo Yuxuan's murder, public outrage would continue, and higher-ups would naturally pay attention to the case's progress.
Gu Xiuyuan hung up the phone and walked out of the kitchenette.
In the lounge, Ji Shuyu was still asleep, and Gu Xiuyuan went over to kiss her.
Ji Shuyu woke up from her sleep and rubbed against him.
Gu Xiuyuan smiled gently and dotingly, hugged her and kissed her gently, then carried her to wash up.
The two were halfway through their meal when the door of the ward was suddenly kicked open.
Seeing Ji Shuyu startled and rushing in, the nurse swallowed.
"Sorry." Receiving Gu Xiuyuan's dissatisfied look, the nurse hurriedly apologized, "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, I'm... in the detention ward."
Gu Xiuyuan frowned as he listened.
"There's something going on over there, Mr. Gu, can you go take a look?"
Ji Shuyu tightened her grip on the chopsticks. She hadn't asked Xia Mei about her condition since the incident, but she heard that her condition was very serious.
"You go first."
Gu Xiuyuan sighed inwardly, then rubbed the top of her head.
"After that I went straight to work."
"Yes," Ji Shuyu nodded, then kissed the side of his face, "The baby and I will wait for you to come."
Gu Xiuyuan left, but Ji Shuyu couldn't help but sigh.
Xia Mei, what does she want to do now!
…
Ji Shuyu's body recovered, and she couldn't stay here all the time to occupy medical resources, so she simply packed up and prepared to be discharged. When she packed the baby's things, her eyes suddenly became warm.
When we first bought these clothes, she said they were too small and wondered if the baby could wear them.
But now she can only think: When will her baby be able to wear such big clothes?
Lu Qingyi appeared at the door on time.
These days she brings meals over every day and also buys some snacks every day.
Her daughter didn't care about the people around her, so she used her notebook to record many things she wanted to do for her daughter. But later she did all those things for others, and now she didn't know what she could do for her daughter.
So, she could only clumsily do some things that would make her happy, such as asking the aunt next to her what her daughter liked to eat, and when she saw Gu Xiuyuan buy her some snacks that day, she also bought some.
She was a little worried, wondering if her daughter would like them and how she could get her to accept them. However, she froze at the door before she even entered.
Lu Qingyi saw everything her daughter did.
She recalled the first time she couldn't help but touch her belly, and the two babies responded to her. Looking at her own hands, tears immediately fell.
Xiaoyu, baby, I really didn’t mean it!
If she could turn back time, she would never do such a thing.
Ji Shuyu packed up her things and turned around to see Lu Qingyi standing at the door.
Their eyes met, and looking at those eyes full of pain and regret, Ji Shuyu paused for a moment, then looked away.
I didn't look at her and tried hard to divert my attention, but I really couldn't stand her sad eyes.
After calming herself down, Ji Shuyu walked out of the ward.
Lu Qingyi watched her daughter walk past her. She couldn't help but want to follow her, but she didn't dare to get too close.
She knew that she had hurt him too deeply and would not be forgiven easily. Perhaps it was too cruel for him to look at her like this.
Her daughter had met a grandmother who treated her very well, and now had a husband who loved her very much. Looking at the look in the child's eyes when she looked at her daughter, she seemed to see herself and Zhengting after going through all the ups and downs.
She is actually very satisfied to see her daughter happy.
…
Rest area.
Several elderly men and women were gathered together to chat. They said that there was a prisoner in a certain ward of the hospital and how terrifying the experience was when she was rescued that day.
Ji Shuyu knew that the person they were talking about was Xia Mei.
After the arson case, she no longer paid attention to this matter. She thought that the matter would be over after the court's verdict, but she didn't expect that she would take this step.
Where there are many people, there is naturally a lot of gossip. I also heard them talking about the disappearance of Miss Huo who had caused such a big fuss before.
While having breakfast in the morning, Xiuyuan mentioned that the dean’s death was not an accident and that Huo Yuxuan might have hired someone to kill him.
The letter the dean left her was full of remorse, saying that the child was seriously ill and needed money, so he had no choice but to "sell" her.
There is nothing I can do.
Because she was "abandoned" as soon as she was born, it was likely that no one would come to find her, so she became her "betrayed" opponent. Later, in order to cover up her own crimes, she joined forces with Huo Yuxuan to rob everything from her.
Oh, sorry?
Why do some people always think that if they do something wrong, they will be forgiven as long as they repent and admit their mistakes?
Regarding Dean You's "accident", she wouldn't think of it as retribution, but... she wouldn't show mercy, let alone forgive him.
Listening to them talking about Huo Yuxuan, she thought of Xia Mei.
If she knew that the "golden branches and jade leaves" she was trying to cling to were fake, I wonder how she would feel.
While people were chatting lively about gossip over here, the crowd over there suddenly started to riot.
"Run! A murderer has escaped from the ward..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd began to panic and the patients began to flee.
The scene instantly fell into chaos, and some people fell down in panic.
"Woo, Mom..."
A child's cry was heard from the crowd.
Ji Shuyu, who was about to leave, saw the child fall to the ground and no one paid any attention to him. He was almost stepped on several times and fell again.
She lifted the child up and looked up to see a young woman walking towards the crowd.
She was wearing a hospital gown and leaning on a crutch. Perhaps because of her mobility issues, she anxiously dropped the crutch and ran towards us, dragging her injured leg, shouting, "Baby!!"
"Mom~"
Hearing the sound of his mother's voice, the child turned and ran over.
The woman fell to the ground, got up, picked up the child and fled in a hurry.
Maybe, this is love!
Ji Shuyu stood up and at the same time saw Lu Qingyi running towards them from outside the chaotic crowd.
She looked extremely anxious.
"Xiao Yu, come here!" Lu Qingyi shouted loudly.
Ji Shuyu didn't want to pay attention.
She is not a child anymore, it's just a little disturbance, she can't protect herself, until she found out that it was Xia Mei who ran out!
Xia Mei hid in the crowd in her hospital gown and no one noticed her. By the time Ji Shuyu noticed her, she had already rushed over here.
Her hair was disheveled, and her bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred...
“Ji Shuyu!!”
She glared at her hatefully, her eyes full of hatred as if she wanted to bite her neck off.
Sensing danger, Ji Shuyu was startled, grabbed the water bottle at hand and threw it at her, then ran away while she was dodging.
At this time, most people in the rest area had already run away, and only those on both sides of the corridor, away from danger, stopped to watch the excitement.
