"So...you did everything last night, right?" Liao Nanxing was not only angry about what happened last night, but also felt irritated by what she saw.
"You'd better listen to my advice. Otherwise, those will just be appetizers."
Gu Yao stepped forward, and Liao Nanxing, feeling oppressed, unconsciously stepped aside.
Liao Nanxing only came to her senses after Gu Yao carried Zhou Chunhua into the car and drove away.
"Gu Yao, you just wait. I won't let you continue to be so arrogant!" With that, Liao Nanxing took out her phone and pressed pause.
Liao Nanxing's lips curled up. With this recording in hand, Gu Yao would surely kneel before him and cry as he admitted his mistakes.
So he opened WeChat and sent the recording to one of his friends.
He also briefly described his painful experience from the previous night and sent it along with the other information.
Of course, being beaten is such a shameful thing that it can't be talked about casually, so he omitted it.
He only said that he was the victim of a staged accident.
With this recording of him admitting to it, can I sue him for extortion?
Soon, news came from the other side.
[Old Liao, are you kidding me this morning? He didn't say he was the one who hired those people to blackmail you. Let's just say, this recording is completely useless.]
Upon seeing this, Liao Nanxing suddenly stopped laughing.
The email notification sound is playing...
[Old Liao, who have you messed with? They're cunning and their words are so shrewd, they seem pretty formidable! But that voice sounds familiar. Who is it?]
Liao Nanxing was so angry that she almost smashed her phone; she was in no mood to reply to messages.
Meanwhile, Gu Yao drove straight to the hospital.
"Huahua, just bear with it, we'll be at the hospital soon."
"No need to go to the hospital, please take me home." Zhou Chunhua, who had recovered, was able to breathe smoothly.
Gu Yao looked worried, but still turned the car around.
The car was parked in the parking space in front of the elevator, just like before. Zhou Chunhua was about to open the door and get out when Gu Yao opened the door from the outside.
"I'll carry you up."
Before she could speak, Gu Yao swept her up and carried her out.
Once inside the elevator, Gu Yao pressed the button for the 17th floor.
Zhou Chunhua's eyes widened.
A hint of panic flashed in Gu Yao's eyes, and he quickly looked up, pretending to look at the elevator display screen.
“Every time I bring you back, I see the elevator you took stopped on the 17th floor.”
It sounded reasonable, so Zhou Chunhua didn't think much of it.
When she reached the 17th floor, she insisted on walking by herself.
Gu Yao hesitated for a moment before carefully putting the person down.
"Thank you for bringing me back. Would you like to come in and have a seat?" Zhou Chunhua asked.
"May I?"
"Of course." For some reason, she felt that Gu Yao's usually cold voice carried a hint of excitement.
Zhou Chunhua shook her head, dismissing the ridiculous conjecture.
Old Chen's excited voice rang out as he unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
"You're back?"
Then... the two people separated by a door froze on the spot.
The two of them had eyebrows that were remarkably straight, forming a horizontal line.
Zhou Chunhua quickly introduced the two to each other.
When Old Chen heard her say that this was Gu Yao, his smile immediately vanished, and he stepped forward to shake hands.
"I've heard her mention Attorney Gu before, and today I'm finally meeting him. Come on in, have a seat."
Gu Yao reached out to meet him, his expression indifferent.
He had heard of Old Chen before, but he never expected that this man would move in here.
"Are you really alright? If you don't want to go to the hospital, I can have someone come and check on you," Gu Yao said.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Old Chen went up and took the cup from Zhou Chunhua's hand, about to make tea for Gu Yao on her behalf.
Seeing Old Chen acting like the master of the house, Gu Yao pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
It seems... he needs to take some precautions.
"By the way, Huahua, you might want to take a look at this." Gu Yao took out his phone.
So Zhou Chunhua, who was standing next to Lao Chen, immediately came over and sat down next to Gu Yao.
“This is… Nana’s list of debts.”
Zhou Chunhua looked down at each item, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.
She knew that Nana had been swindled out of a lot of money over the past seven years because of Nini's situation. But she never expected it to be such a large sum.
Looking at the final number with so many zeros, Zhou Chunhua closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
It seems necessary to have a serious talk with Nana about this.
"Could you please spare some time tomorrow to come with me to handle this matter?"
"Okay," Gu Yao agreed readily.
"By the way, Hua. Is there any progress on Su Mu's matter?"
Old Chen interrupted their conversation and sat down next to Zhou Chunhua.
Whenever this matter is mentioned, Zhou Chunhua feels as if she has fallen into an abyss of distress.
With her head down, Zhou Chunhua didn't see the hostility in Lao Chen's and Gu Yao's eyes.
She took a deep breath and shook her head.
“I asked Liao Nanxing, and he confirmed that he did not give Su Mu any money.”
Gu Yao was about to speak when Old Chen spoke first.
"Is it reliable? Your ex-husband isn't lying, is he?"
“If Liao Nanxing says no, then he probably doesn’t,” Gu Yao continued. “He may appear aloof, but he actually values money a lot.”
Zhou Chunhua looked at Gu Yao and nodded.
"Yes."
"If that's the case, then this line is broken again, isn't it?" Old Chen scratched his messy short hair.
Gu Yao asked in confusion, "What lead? Is there any progress in your daughter's case?"
Zhou Chunhua didn't hide anything and told the whole story directly.
Gu Yao touched his chin.
"Hua Hua, you might have the wrong person."
Zhou Chunhua and Lao Chen's eyes widened immediately.
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously called out, "Xu Xiuzhen!"
However, the next second, Old Chen shook his head in denial.
"No way! Nini is her own granddaughter!"
Gu Yao scoffed, "So what if she's my own granddaughter? She's hoping for a grandson to inherit her family's throne!"
"Impossible!" Old Chen still denied it.
"No matter how bad a person is, they won't be this bad."
"Mr. Chen doesn't seem to understand the essence of human nature," Gu Yao said coldly. "The essence of human nature is not good, but evil. It is precisely because human nature is inherently evil that the principle of education exists. If everyone were to turn to good, then the principle of education would no longer exist."
"What does this have to do with human nature? Do you have any evidence?" Old Chen asked, slamming his hand on the table.
Gu Yao gave a mocking sneer: "Just think about her motives, and you won't need evidence anymore."
Old Chen was confused.
Zhou Chunhua lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
The next second, she exclaimed in surprise, "Perhaps... Gu Yao's guess is right!"
Why do you say that?
