Xu Wei has great looks. Anyone can get by in the entertainment industry. As long as you look decent, you can still have a lot of brainless fans even if you play a "pretty face" role.
To everyone's surprise, Xu Wei scoffed at her suggestion, then realized it was inappropriate and explained, "I'm doing fine now and content with the status quo. The entertainment industry isn't for me."
Moreover, she had plenty of money. When she had her miscarriage, Gu Yiming gave her a card that was indeed very generous, enough for her to travel around and have fun. Why would she need to work?
The two reached an agreement to hold back for the time being and then went their separate ways.
Jiang Shiwan focused on filming, while Xu Wei had a great time, going abroad and enjoying a lot of freedom.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal, calm and peaceful.
Apart from Jiang Hua's belly.
Everyone else was busy with their own tasks and doing their own work.
Jiang Hua stayed in the hospital, where she was well-fed and cared for by dedicated medical staff. As her pregnancy gradually stabilized, she felt relieved and stopped being so anxious. Her health slowly improved, and she gained weight.
Gu Yiming saw this and was very happy for her. He would visit her in the hospital every day or two. He also tried to keep his schedule within China, and if it was not necessary, he would keep business trips to within two days, so as not to be too far away from her.
Jiang Hua felt his thoughtfulness, but also felt sorry for him. He not only had to manage the company, but also take care of her health. On the other hand, he had lost a lot of weight. Although he was still very energetic, he looked rather sad.
One afternoon, Gu Yiming came to visit her and was about to leave. She held his hand reluctantly and sighed, "Yiming, if you're too busy tomorrow, you don't need to come. It's a waste of time to come and go. I'm doing fine now. The people at the hospital are taking good care of me, so you don't need to worry."
She rarely acts coquettishly; she only said that today to put Gu Jintian at ease.
Gu Yiming was quite pleased. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek. Then, seeing her face turn red, his eyes darkened, and he kissed her lips slightly harder. Finally, when he heard her breathing quicken, he released her, his voice slightly hoarse: "It's okay. There's a driver. I can rest or handle some business on the way. I'm a man, don't worry."
It was a cliché, but Jiang Hua felt incredibly touched by it. She saw him to the door, gazing at his back until he entered the elevator and the doors closed completely before turning back to her ward.
As soon as Gu Yiming entered the elevator, his gentle expression vanished, replaced by a gloomy look.
The investigation has made no progress, so he plans to go to the police station today to talk to the city's deputy chief and find out more about the situation.
Everything was handled strictly by official procedures. The deputy director sat in the meeting room, reviewed the materials, and then handed them to Gu Yiming, rubbing his hands together with a slight unease. "We've investigated thoroughly, thoroughly reviewed all the surveillance footage, and even retrieved the traffic department's footage, but those two women are incredibly cunning. One left in a taxi, and the other rented a car from a rental company—there's not a single clue. As for the previous killer, he was even more ruthless. He always rode a motorcycle and constantly dodged cameras; there wasn't a single clue, so we had no way to start."
There is currently no information regarding whether the three individuals are part of a criminal gang. Several criminal cases have recently occurred in the city, but none of them are related to the three individuals. For the time being, this case remains somewhat perplexing.
Gu Yiming's face grew increasingly grim, and the deputy director's brow furrowed even deeper, a cold sweat breaking out on his back. He still had to force a smile, but as soon as the others left, he immediately lashed out at the police officers: "We can't even catch three suspects! The criminal investigation team always says the cases aren't big enough, that they're not challenging enough to solve. Now that a big case has come up, they've all backed down and chickened out?"
Under pressure, an old man from the criminal investigation department spoke up: "Deputy Director, you know Gu Yiming's identity. Anyone who dares to provoke him must have a powerful background. If we can find him so easily, his counter-investigation capabilities must be very strong."
"Yes, anyone who dares to go against him must be a formidable figure. We're working overtime to solve the case now, and we study it whenever we have free time. Sooner or later, we'll bring the suspect to justice."
After listening to his subordinate's account, the deputy director sighed. He was aware of the situation, but being confronted by someone today had put him in an awkward position. Although Gu Yiming didn't say anything, the calmer he remained, the more it would embarrass the police station. Let alone important figures, even ordinary citizens would make him doubt himself and feel that he had failed to guarantee the safety of the people.
"In the future, we should pay more attention to security, minimize blind spots in surveillance in all areas, and keep the crime rate below the threshold."
The other police officers smiled wryly. They hoped even more than the deputy chief that there would be fewer cases. Not only was it a waste of manpower and resources, but it also made them run themselves ragged. However, the world is complex, and not everyone is kind.
As soon as Gu Yiming got into the car after leaving the police station, the driver respectfully said, "President, Vice President Xu just called and the meeting tonight has been canceled."
"Then let's go back to the hospital," Gu Yiming said casually, before sitting in the back seat and closing his eyes to rest.
Jiang Hua was feeling restless in the hospital. Her health was improving day by day, but staying in the ward all day was very boring. As evening approached, she looked at her phone, feeling a bit bored. She hadn't touched her phone all day. She went online for a while, since Gu Yiming wasn't around and no one would be watching her.
Within 10 minutes of picking up her phone, the trending topics were all paid articles by popular celebrities, which were not interesting. She had just logged out of Weibo when a call came in, and it was from another country. Seeing the number, she answered with a smile.
Su Wenwen had a loud voice and loudly demanded to see her belly: "You haven't sent me many videos lately, so I don't even know how big the baby is. Has it grown again recently?"
Jiang Hua replied with a smile, "Yes, it's gone up a bit, but it's been a bit unstable lately. We changed hospitals, so I haven't been able to contact you. You'll be the baby's godmother after he's born."
Su Wenwen quickly agreed, "That's for sure. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have volunteered. By the way, are you alright on your own? I suggested that Gu Cheng find someone to take care of you, but you wouldn't listen. Anyway, it's all his money you're spending. Speaking of money, I suddenly remembered that you paid the penalty for the card I gave you, but yesterday you transferred money to me again, and it was double the amount. Where did you get the money? Besides, I was spending it for you, not expecting you to pay me back."
Jiang Hua's heart tightened. Since things had come to this point, she decided not to hide anything and simply told the truth: "It's Gu Yiming's money."
Su Wenwen immediately exploded: "Why do you need his money? He doesn't care about you and your daughter anymore, you should give it back to him right now."
