Just as Lu Jia opened the car door and placed Shen Zhi Qiu inside, turning to quickly walk towards the driver's seat, Gu Qingyan clearly saw his face. This confirmed that he was indeed the one who went to the police station to pick up Zhou Xiao Ran in place of Shen Zhi Qiu. Looking at the fleeting profile in the passenger seat, even though it was completely covered up, he was still certain that it was Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Shen Zhi Qiu!" Gu Qing Yan shouted loudly through the hall door. Shen Zhi Qiu, inside the car, frowned and turned her head to see Gu Qing Yan. Upon seeing this, Lu Jia immediately got into the car, started the engine, and sped away from the scene.
Seeing them about to leave, Gu Qingyan quickened her pace to catch up. Just as she reached the door, a woman walking towards her, looking around and talking on the phone while pushing a handcart, appeared. She didn't see Gu Qingyan, and the wheel of the handcart ran directly over Gu Qingyan's foot. The luggage of various sizes on the handcart scattered all over the ground, blocking Gu Qingyan's way.
Gu Qingyan lifted her foot, intending to step over the luggage and chase after him.
"Why aren't you watching where you're going? My suitcase is very expensive!" The woman grabbed his sleeve, staring at his black leather shoes, which were wrinkled from being run over by the car wheels. Although they were a bit dirty, they were still clearly valuable. She demanded that Gu Qingyan pay for her suitcase.
But Gu Qingyan didn't bother to argue with her at all. He didn't even look at her and was about to leave. When the woman saw this, she sat down on the ground and burst into tears. Her cries startled the people in the hall.
"You've gone too far! You knocked me down, broke my suitcase, and didn't even apologize, your attitude was so awful! The world is going to hell..."
A group of people started pointing and whispering about Gu Qingyan. Even though they didn't know what had happened, seeing the woman sitting on the ground crying, they instinctively assumed that Gu Qingyan had bullied her.
Gu Qingyan's face grew increasingly dark. At this moment, Zhong Wenhua, who had accompanied Gu Qingyan, jogged over to his side and whispered, "President Gu, please go into the private room first. I'll handle things here." After saying that, he quickly gestured to his assistant to lead Gu Qingyan away from this troublesome place.
Gu Qingyan ignored them. He quickly turned and walked to the front door to look outside, but there was no sign of the car. He tugged at his tight tie and coldly stared in the direction they had left.
"Madam, I'll compensate you, okay..." Seeing the woman still crying and making a scene while covering her face, Zhong Wenhua speechlessly reached for his wallet.
But the woman glanced at the entrance, immediately stood up, and there wasn't a trace of tears on her face. Calmly and indifferently, she said, "No need," and quickly picked up her suitcase and left. Zhong Wenhua was left completely bewildered.
Upon reaching the corner, she took out her phone and sent a message: "All done. Don't worry." Then, with a slight smile, she put her phone in her bag, pushed her cart, and quickly left the scene.
Gu Qingyan, with a cold face, glanced in the direction where Lu Jia had just carried Shen Zhi Qiu out, then walked back to Zhong Wenhua and said, "Help me find out what happened over there just now?"
Suddenly, a group of medical staff hurriedly carried a stretcher and ran in that direction.
Soon, a man covered in blood was carried out, cursing incessantly: "I'll fucking kill that woman sooner or later! How dare she hit me! She's got some nerve! If her assistant hadn't stopped her, I would have beaten her to death. Slapping her was too lenient! Director Li, you just wait, if she dares to hit me, next time..."
Before he could finish speaking, a foot kicked him hard in the stomach. Caught off guard, Mr. Zhao cried out in pain and was kicked again, the force of which sent him flying off the stretcher.
With a muffled thud, he collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.
"Who the hell hit me again! I'll kill you!"
Director Li was about to step forward to question him when he suddenly saw Gu Qingyan's face. He frowned, bent down, and whispered to President Zhao to stop scolding.
Director Li's career development is mainly in Nancheng. In addition, the Gu Group has invested in several of his productions. When a movie started filming, Gu Qingyan even personally attended the opening ceremony. Therefore, he is very familiar with Gu Qingyan.
Although Mr. Zhao is a prominent figure in Chengdu, his business is insignificant compared to the massive Gu Group. Many real estate companies in Chengdu rely on the Gu Group's resources; even a small share is enough for them to make a fortune. Therefore, offending Gu Qingyan will likely make things difficult for Mr. Zhao in this industry. Considering Mr. Zhao's investment in his film, Director Li felt it necessary to give him a heads-up.
But Zhao was furious and refused to back down. He struggled to get up from the ground and teach Gu Qingyan a lesson.
"I've really run into a ghost today! First, this lousy writer showed up, and now this guy is courting death! Does he even know who I am?!"
Mr. Zhao clenched his fists and, as soon as he regained his footing, staggered forward.
Gu Qingyan sneered and ripped off his suit jacket. When President Zhao rushed in front of him, he dodged to the side and then quickly kicked President Zhao in the back of the knee from the side. President Zhao fell to his knees and immediately curled up in pain.
Gu Qingyan strolled up to President Zhao, raised his foot, and kicked him in the chest, causing President Zhao to vomit blood. Before he could catch his breath, Gu Qingyan kicked him again, and President Zhao, bent over, slid across the floor and crashed into a marble pillar in the hall.
A dull thud rang out, and Mr. Zhao seemed to hear his own sternum crack. He tilted his head, clutching his chest in pain. He looked up and saw Director Li still standing there, and shouted, "Director Li, so many people are watching! Aren't you going to call the police?!"
