Gu Yao suddenly waved to her: "What are you doing standing there? Come and sit down and listen."
Coming to her senses, Zhou Chunhua pursed her lips, stepped forward, and placed the sliced apple on the table.
He even placed the fruit fork where Li Anran could easily reach it.
"Thank you, but don't trouble yourself, Mrs. Gu," Li Anran said politely.
Zhou Chunhua looked embarrassed: "I..."
"Tell me the whole story in detail," Gu Yao suddenly interrupted her.
"Okay, okay. It's like this..."
Li Anran was so emotional that she didn't notice Zhou Chunhua's uncomfortable expression at all, and began to recount the whole incident in detail.
However, he did notice that Attorney Gu seemed to be in a very good mood.
Especially when he talked about how Su Mu injured Liao Nanxing and how he beat Xu Xiuzhen, Attorney Gu would make him repeat it several times in detail.
He didn't quite understand, but Zhou Chang said that no one was more professional than Gu Yao in this regard, so he believed that Gu Yao genuinely wanted to help him, which was why he asked such detailed questions.
When he stopped, Gu Yaocai said, "So, Liao Nanxing didn't die, and Xu Xiuzhen didn't die either?"
“Yes.” Li Anran nodded, puzzled.
Because Gu Yao looked like he was filled with regret.
The next second, a voice was heard: "What a pity. Truly, a scourge lives on for a thousand years."
Li Anran looked at Gu Yao with a blank expression.
Could it be that Liao has a grudge against Attorney Gu?
Otherwise, there's no way to explain what Gu Yao just said.
"So, what kind of outcome do you want?"
Li Anran came to her senses: "Of course Su Mu is innocent."
Just when he thought Gu Yao would continue to ask about the case, he heard Gu Yao say, "You just said that Su Mu and Liao Nanxing are in the cooling-off period for their divorce?"
He frowned and nodded.
"So what's your relationship with Su Mu? You went to all that trouble to find me, your relationship must be something special, right?"
Li Anran lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
He knew his identity was dishonorable.
Mistresses are now like rats crossing the street, to the point that everyone is shouting to kill them.
However, he does not consider himself a mistress.
After all, Su Mu and Liao Nanxing's marriage had already run into problems before she appeared.
Moreover, the breakdown of their marriage was clearly caused by Liao Tongxing, and had nothing to do with him.
But... he didn't know how to explain this situation to Gu Yao.
I could only say, "Su Mu and I are very good friends. She was almost abused to death by her husband, and she has no family, which is why she asked me for help."
"Oh? Her husband almost beat her to death? Tell me more about it."
Li Anran noticed that Gu Yao's eyes lit up slightly when he was speaking.
That feeling is like... watching a melon seed (or eating melon seeds, a Chinese idiom for being a bystander).
Upon closer inspection, Gu Yao's eyes remained as cold and indifferent as before.
Perhaps I misjudged it.
Li Anran nodded, but the next second she asked curiously, "That happened before their divorce, it has nothing to do with this case, right?"
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Gu Yao glanced at Mrs. Gu.
"Of course. Only by understanding their past entanglements and accurately determining whether Su Mu's attempted murder was for revenge or whether he accidentally injured someone due to a medical episode triggered by a provocation."
Li Anran thought to herself, Gu Yao is a man of ambition, so if he said that, then it must be very necessary.
So he spoke frankly and without reservation about all the violence and abuse Su Mu had suffered at the Liao family's house.
But as he talked, he felt that something was not right.
For example... Gu Yao listened with great interest, just like someone watching gossip online.
He even grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Mrs. Gu when he mentioned that Su Mu had been beaten.
This... is really strange.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it.
However… I looked at Mrs. Gu.
It's easy to see from Attorney Gu's every move that he truly loves Mrs. Gu.
Could he then gain Mrs. Gu's sympathy for Su Mu, make her empathize with him, and say a few good words for him? This would greatly increase the chances of Attorney Gu taking on the case.
After thinking it over, Li Anran took out her phone and opened a video.
“Mrs. Gu, you are all women. Look at this and say something fair.” He stood up and placed his phone on the other side.
"I..." Zhou Chunhua only managed to utter one word before being startled by Su Mu's scream in the video.
She unconsciously looked down, her eyes widening in surprise.
In the video, Liao Nanxing can be clearly seen dragging Su Mu by the hair.
Despite Su Mu's insults, pleas for mercy, and cries of pain, Liao Nanxing not only did not stop dragging him, but even beat Su Mu multiple times.
Finally, they pushed Su Mu into another man's room.
Zhou Chunhua gasped.
Liao Nanxing like this... is he possessed?!
This is no longer the man who was once high above others, like a chosen one of heaven.
To be precise, Liao Nanxing in the video is practically inhuman.
Calling him a beast is an insult to beasts.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Anran knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Mrs. Gu, Attorney Gu, she has an infant child. Please have pity on her and save her!"
"I won't..." Zhou Chunhua was about to refuse when Gu Yao stuffed a piece of apple into her hand.
She looked at Gu Yao, puzzled.
Gu Yao said, "We have always been kind-hearted and love to do good deeds. But Su Mu hurting Liao Nanxing is one thing, and Liao Nanxing hurting Su Mu is another."
