In the solitary, enclosed room, the air was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.
Qiao Hong lay on the bed with a pale face, her body full of tubes from instruments. She had just been given emergency treatment and was out of danger, but was still in a coma.
Gu Tingchen sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Qiao Hong's paper-pale face with a gloomy expression.
"How long will it take for her to wake up?" Gu Tingchen asked his personal doctor.
He has limited patience and hates wasting time, so he doesn't want to wait even a second.
The private doctor took a look at Qiao Hong's electrocardiogram and blood pressure, then shook his head helplessly. "It's hard to say. It depends on her."
Gu Tingchen frowned irritably, turned his head and ordered him: "Keep an eye on her, and notify me immediately when she wakes up."
Fortunately, the next day, Gu Tingchen received a call from his private doctor and Qiao Hong woke up.
Gu Tingchen put down his work and hurried to see Qiao Hong.
"You finally woke up." Gu Tingchen's face was as cold as ice, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
Qiao Hong glanced at Gu Tingchen, then looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, and murmured weakly: "Where is this? What's wrong with me?" She seemed to be trying hard to recall what happened before she fell into a coma.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, her eyes were full of fear, and her body twisted instinctively.
"Save me, save me, someone wants to kill me..." She used all her strength and shrank into the corner of the bed with a twisted body.
Originally, she thought she could face death calmly and never wanted to suffer from illness again. However, when she was soaked in the cold sea water last night, she was drowned by the sea water little by little, and the sea water poured into her lungs. The feeling of suffocation still stimulated her instinctive desire to survive.
Gu Tingchen smiled contemptuously. If Jiang Ranran didn't still need her, people like her would have deserved to die.
"Tell me, who wants to kill you?" Gu Tingchen didn't want to say any more nonsense to her, he just wanted to get the answer.
He knew that the person who wanted to kill Qiao Hong was the one who threatened Jiang Ranran.
Gu Tingchen's cold tone seemed to calm Qiao Hong down a bit. She stared at Gu Tingchen warily, looking him up and down from head to toe, clutching the corners of the quilt tightly with both hands, her nerves sensitive and fragile.
"Don't worry, no one here wants to kill you. I saved you." Gu Tingchen frowned.
At this time, Qiao Hong seemed to recognize Gu Tingchen. She asked with some suspicion: "You, you are Mr. Gu? Gu Tingchen?"
Qiao Hong used to be a fan of An An. After An An joined Jiang Ranran's company, she learned some information about Jiang Ranran, so she recognized Gu Tingchen. What's more, Gu Tingchen was famous for being handsome, rich, young and promising.
"Since you recognize me, you should know why I saved you." Gu Tingchen looked at her coldly, because this woman had caused Jiang Ranran a lot of trouble.
Thinking of the past, Qiao Hong bit her lips guiltily, and her already pale lips looked even more bloodless.
Qiao Hong didn't dare to look directly at Gu Tingchen. Her eyes were evasive and her head was hung.
"Mr. Gu, if I tell you, will you just ignore me?" At the critical moment, Qiao Hong thought of herself first. After experiencing this near-death experience, she still wanted to survive.
Gu Tingchen smiled coldly, cruelly breaking Qiao Hong's fantasy, "If you don't tell me, I will throw you out now."
Qiao Hong thought about it, seemed to be hesitating, then her eyes became determined, and she decided to speak.
"Mr. Gu, I don't know that man's name, and I don't know where he is. The only thing I can tell you is what he looks like." Qiao Hong took a deep breath and looked like she was mustering up her courage.
Gu Tingchen immediately arranged for a portrait artist to draw the doctor's appearance according to Qiao Hong's description.
"Judging from the appearance, I will find him even if I have to dig three feet deep." Gu Tingchen handed the finished portrait to Mo Cheng and told him to do the job.
Soon, Mo Cheng got the result. This person was a returned overseas doctor named Cui Rong, who used to work in a private hospital. But now he has disappeared, and no one knows where he went.
"No relatives?" Gu Tingchen obviously wanted to start looking from his social relations.
Mo Cheng shook his head helplessly: "This person has no parents. He worked overseas to earn tuition and completed his medical studies. However, after returning to China, due to his personality, he encountered obstacles everywhere and did not do well."
Gu Tingchen frowned, feeling that this was a difficult person. People like this who had no ties were often the most difficult to deal with.
When pushed to the limit, people are likely to do anything.
"Keep investigating. If he's alive, I want to see his body. If he's dead, I want to see his body." Gu Tingchen gently turned the ring on his hand and said thoughtfully.
Although Cui Rong couldn't find her for the time being, at least he still had Qiao Hong to use.
The next morning, Jiang Ranran was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. It was An An calling.
"Hello?" Jiang Ranran sounded a little lazy, sleepy, and still a little unclear in consciousness.
"Ranran, go online quickly! Something big has happened, our company is on the hot search again!" An An's voice was very excited, and her words made Jiang Ranran sober instantly. She immediately hung up the phone and opened the hot search.
The hot search is a video recorded by Qiao Hong.
Jiang Ranran couldn't wait to open the video. In the video, Qiao Hong's face looked very ugly, but full of guilt.
"This video is a sincere apology to my idols, An An and Miss Jiang Ranran, whom I have hurt. In order to raise medical expenses, I said many things against my will and did many immoral things. I was exploited by bad people and had a lot of negative impact on An An and Miss Jiang Ranran..."
In the video, Qiao Hong shed tears of regret as she spoke, which was very touching.
Jiang Ranran looked through the comments under the video. Now that netizens knew the truth, they began to side with Jiang Ranran and An An again. Of course, there were also many people who were wise after the event.
"I've always believed in An An. I'm her biggest fan and have never doubted her!"
"Support An An, support Jiang Ranran!"
Qiao Hong's apology video successfully cleared An An and Jiang Ranran on the Internet and won widespread praise. The fact that the company was investigated and closed down was temporarily forgotten by the public, as the Internet has no memory.
But there was one thing that always lingered in Jiang Ranran's mind, that is, whether the person who threatened her was related to Qiao Hong.
Jiang Ranran immediately made an appointment with An An to discuss with her whether she should meet with Qiao Hong to investigate who was threatening her.
The two quickly reached an agreement. Jiang Ranran sent Wu Wei to investigate the IP address where Qiao Hong sent the video, preparing to meet Qiao Hong and talk to her in person.
This matter soon reached Gu Tingchen, and Wu Wei sold Jiang Ranran out.
"She wants to see Qiao Hong?" Gu Tingchen suddenly felt a sense of crisis of being exposed, and he smiled playfully.
