Chapter 160 The Dust Settles



I don't know why, but today, after getting up, Mrs. Gu always felt a little uneasy.

Seeing her anxious, Gu Yanyu asked after breakfast: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? How about I go to the hospital with you?"

His wife had just undergone a hysterectomy a few months ago, which seriously damaged her vitality. Recently, she has been in a bad mood and her wounds have not recovered very well. Gu Yanyu is very worried.

"It's okay." Mrs. Gu still felt uncomfortable: "I'll go to the temple to pray in the afternoon."

She suddenly decided.

Maybe she has been haunted by ghosts recently, and nothing she does goes well. It's better to go to pray.

"It's up to you." Gu Yanyu lost interest after talking about this.

Instead of burning incense and praying to Buddha, he might as well spend more time at home painting or practicing calligraphy, which would be more comfortable.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Gu was unhappy for no reason.

"Look at you, pretending to be a good person every day, but you don't even consider whether those people appreciate your kindness, and they have to scold you behind your back."

"You have been saying something weird all morning."

Gu Yanyu knew that his wife was finding fault with him for no reason.

But he also understood that a woman without a uterus is equivalent to losing half of her body, so it is normal for her to be a little weird in a short period of time.

"I just want to see my grandson. My great-grandson is about to be born, but I, the grandmother, have not seen him yet. It's true... I don't know how to respect my elders."

Mrs. Gu grumbled in a grumble, full of resentment.

But she didn't think about who was the one who had caused her children to quarrel with her to this extent?

Gu knew the truth, but he was used to protecting his wife and had long forgotten how to refute her words, so he could only choose to remain silent.

While the couple was talking, someone rang the doorbell of the villa.

None of them moved, and the nanny would go to open the door.

But the doorbell rang for a long time, but the nanny didn't bring the guest in. Gu Yanyu started to murmur: "Who is this person?"

He was about to get up to see.

Before he could stand up completely, he saw two young men in police uniforms, led by the nanny awkwardly, stepping into the door.

"What are you doing..."

Gu Yanyu was still confused, and Mrs. Gu behind him was even more puzzled.

What were the police doing at their home?

She didn't feel guilty about what she had done before.

"We received a call from the police. There is sufficient evidence to suspect that Ms. Gu has attempted murder many times and is suspected of causing social panic. Now we need to take her back for investigation. This is an arrest warrant. Please cooperate."

The two policemen who came to arrest people were young, but they were very decisive when doing things.

They didn't want to waste time talking to the Gu couple. After explaining the situation simply and clearly, they immediately handcuffed them and took them away. They

were so fast that Gu Yanyu didn't even have a chance to react. It was not

until he heard his wife's panicked scream that he hurried after them as if waking up from a dream.

"Police comrade, comrade, is there any misunderstanding here?"

He was just an artist who didn't understand the mundane world. When he encountered such a thing, he would panic instinctively and couldn't muster the momentum to confront the police.

I'm afraid that Gu Yanyu is not as calm as Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu was indeed panicked when she was first arrested, but she calmed down when she remembered that she had done a clean job and those people couldn't find any evidence.

She likes to borrow someone else's knife to kill someone, never doing it directly, but secretly instigating a third party to do it, and what the third party does... has nothing to do with her.

Those things, no matter how they are investigated, have nothing to do with her.

So she calmed down completely, and even had the leisure to comfort her husband.

"It's okay, I'm upright, those black-hearted monsters can't hurt me! You just wait for me at home."

When she gets home, she will naturally not let go of those villains who dare to frame her.

Mrs. Gu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes.

But Gu Yanyu was not comforted at all.

As his wife's bedmate, he was more or less aware of what his wife had done, but he didn't dare and didn't want to break that layer of paper, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and act like an ignorant fool.

But now...

he always has a bad premonition.

***

The old lady of the Gu Group was taken away by the police on the spot as a murder suspect, which naturally caused a small sensation in the surrounding area.

Even if these neighbors are so self-respecting, it is rare to encounter such a big melon, and they would feel sorry for themselves if they don't come out to smell it.

So even though there are fewer residents in the villa area, there are still many luxury cars outside the Gu family villa who are watching the excitement.

After all, if we don't see each other, we will see each other now. If we don't see each other now, we will see each other in the mall. It would be so embarrassing if someone caught me coming out to eat melons on the spot.

Driving a car, they could also make up an excuse that they wanted to go out for a drive.

Yes, they just went out for a drive, not to watch the excitement.

Because there were too many cars,

no one noticed. A Bentley quietly mixed in the pile of cars, watching the drama outside.

"We don't have enough evidence to convict her, and she didn't really kill anyone. As long as she is willing to pay, the sentence will not be very severe."

Gu Lan sat next to his sister with a bad face and spoke in a low voice.

He was still wearing a hospital gown, and it was obvious that he sneaked out of the hospital.

Because his sister said there was a big show today, and asked him to come out to watch.

Unexpectedly, it was really a big show, but the predictable result was not very satisfactory.

The lives of him and his sister were not enough to get that woman sentenced.

But the woman was too skilled, and no matter how much they hated her, they could do nothing about it.

"Who said I wanted her to be sentenced for attempted murder?"

Qingqing asked back as if it was a matter of course: "Don't worry, brother, the good show has just begun. I, your sister, have been preparing for so many years, and I will not let it end so easily."

What should I end? She didn't say it clearly, but both Gu Lan and Fu Heng, who was driving, knew what she meant. Speaking of which, Fu Heng and Bai Qiyu added a lot of roles to this scene, ensuring that the audience can feast their eyes and eat melons at the same time. Soon, the former president of the Gu Group and the current old lady exploded in the whole society because of the suspicion of murdering her own children. This kind of explosive melon of a wealthy family is even more shocking than the title of a certain browser. Countless people rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible, fearing that they would miss the fresh gossip if they were late. Three days later, the local police announced that they had officially opened a case for investigation and submitted the case to the court for trial. Half a month later, the police arrested several criminals, who confessed that they had attempted to murder Gu Qingqing and Gu Lan. Some even revealed that the major car accident a few days ago was also related to these people. However, without exception, there was no direct evidence to indicate that these were instructed by Mrs. Gu. There was only one secretary beside her who was arrested and brought to justice. This secretary was the contact person who handled all these matters for Mrs. Gu, but she did not identify Mrs. Gu, only saying that she had evil intentions and was jealous of the Gu siblings, so she wanted to kill them. The reason was very strong, but she refused to admit it. Without other evidence, the court could not do anything to Mrs. Gu. It was exactly the same as Gu Lan's initial estimate. When the verdict was announced, Qingqing was still in the hospital with a paring knife to peel apples for her brother. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. It's only been more than two months, and Gu Xiaolan wants to be discharged from the hospital? There is no door, and she has welded all the windows. Unless his injury is completely healed, Qingqing will not let go. She only has this one brother, and she is extremely nervous. Gu Lan is actually very happy that his sister, who has been estranged for many years, treats him so well. It’s just that he has been forced to be detained in the hospital for too long, and he wants to be discharged very badly. But no one can save him, or rather, those people dare not. His brother-in-law is now completely henpecked. Whatever his sister says is the truth. Even if Qingqing put out the fire, he could only help to sprinkle gasoline. He is so indulgent. Not to mention the two nephews. They are not mama’s boys, but worse than mama’s boys. They act like what their mother says is right and we all support their mother. Why haven’t I seen these two brats so obedient before? As for the others... it's better not to say anything. Gu Lan sighed and felt deeply bored. He was about to grow mushrooms in the hospital. But he didn't think about it. If he hadn't acquiesced to Qingqing locking him in the hospital, would he have been locked up so easily? Impossible. So everyone should stop looking down on the eldest brother, they are all the same. "Ah." Seeing Qingqing peeled the apple, Gu Lan opened his mouth unconsciously. He thought he would be fed with pieces of fruit pulp with the core removed and cut into appropriate sizes like before, but what he got was a whole apple. He almost choked to death. After struggling to take the apple with a bite cut out of his mouth, he saw Qingqing talking on the phone on the balcony with her back to him. Gu Lan didn't hear what she said exactly, but he found out a few months later. By then, he had recovered from his injury and was discharged from the hospital, and happened to be visiting the Fu family. He was still confused about the time of the TV news report. His mother, unexpectedly, went to prison? This was simply a relief! Although it was not for the crime of murdering her own children. It was for economic crimes and huge embezzlement and bribery. Mrs. Gu's methods were not very clean, and Gu Lan knew this very well. In order to get rid of the bugs she had placed in the company, he had wasted a lot of effort, not to mention the problems of falsified accounts and theft of public funds that were discovered later. But at that time, stabilizing the Gu family had already consumed all of Gu Lan's energy, and he had no extra time to pursue these things. However, just because he didn't pursue some things didn't mean they didn't exist. Now, all the crimes that had been committed have turned into sharp blades and shot at the culprit. The evidence is conclusive, and this time, no matter how powerful Mrs. Gu is, she can't wash away the charges. She was sentenced to confiscation of all property, deprivation of political rights for life, and 20 years in prison. Twenty years later, at her advanced age, whether she can walk out of the prison alive is another matter. During this period, Gu Yanyu had come to see Qingqing several times, but she avoided him every time. She didn't want to face this father who was the same as if he didn't exist. Although he had never harmed her and her siblings, and had shown a little love for them when they were young, these were not enough to offset the consequences of his inaction. If Gu Yanyu had been willing to stop his wife, things would not have gotten to this point today. "Has the person been sent away?" After avoiding him again, Qingqing's expression showed obvious fatigue. "Already sent away." The nanny replied. She knew roughly what happened in her employer's family, and she didn't have a good impression of the old gentleman who looked very elegant. How could such a person be worthy of having a child? "Whenever he comes over, he'll say I'm not here." No matter if she was really not here or just pretending. "Yes." A pair of warm hands reached out and pressed on Qingqing's forehead, massaging it with moderate force. Qingqing closed her eyes and felt that her headache was relieved a lot under this comfort.

"Don't you think I'm too heartless?"

"You just did a just thing."

Those who violate the law should not be allowed to escape.

Qingqing chuckled: "Don't say that."

"Oh?" Fu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you think I should say?"

"You shouldn't say anything, you're already on your way to work."

Work occupies all of this man's time, and he has no time to take care of these trivial matters at home.

"I'm retired." Fu Heng stated the facts.

"In a few days, it's my father's birthday, we'll go back and introduce someone to you."

"Who?" Qingqing became interested.

Who actually had to trouble him to introduce her to a big fanfare.

Fu Heng chuckled with a hint of meaning, and his chest vibrated, allowing Qingqing, who was leaning on his arms, to clearly sense: "Rumor has it that he is my illegitimate child."
