Her assistant was furious and rushed up to Lin Zhibai's assistant, demanding, "Did you even recognize who this is? If you lose your jobs tomorrow, no one will speak up for you!"
The assistant was a little agitated, and his voice unconsciously became louder, attracting curious glances from many passersby.
Gu Fanyan felt that they might take out their phones and take pictures of her at any moment.
She never expected that the video of her and Gu Zheng would circulate online.
Who could have done it?
"Come here," Gu Fanyan called her assistant over, her tone calm. "I'll just wait here. Don't say anything else."
The assistant reluctantly shut up.
Gu Fanyan suddenly found it amusing and asked softly, "You just said that whatever Lin Zhibai does, it must be for my sake."
Do you still think that way now?
The assistant was speechless.
After discussing it for a while, Lin Zhibai's two assistants still went in to report the news.
A short while later, Lin Zhibai appeared at the door and hurried towards her. "Sister Fanyan, why aren't you going in?"
"Your assistant..." The assistant wanted to stand up for Gu Fanyan, but Gu Fanyan stopped him with a look.
Gu Fanyan didn't want to delve into these details and asked directly, "You hit Gu Zheng?"
Lin Zhibai was surprised that she knew, then gritted her teeth and said, "He deserves to die!"
"You can't let him die, and you can't touch him again..."
Before Gu Fanyan could finish speaking, a taxi stopped beside her, and Sheng Xin got out, still wearing her hospital gown.
She walked straight up to Lin Zhibai, her face trembling with tears: "Brother Zhibai, don't do anything foolish for my sake, please release Gu Zheng!"
Gu Fanyan looked at Sheng Xin, then at Lin Zhibai, and asked, "How did she find out about this?"
“I asked her some details about how Gu Zheng pushed her back then,” Lin Zhibai replied.
“I shouldn’t have said this,” Sheng Xin said, her eyes reddening. “If I had known you were going to do this, I wouldn’t have told you.”
"How touching!" Gu Fanyan snorted. "Lin Zhibai, look how much Sheng Xin cares about you. You should always consult with her before doing anything in the future."
A hint of panic flashed across Lin Zhibai's handsome eyes: "Sister Fanyan, it's not what you think."
"Sister Fanyan," Sheng Xin said, choking back tears, "Don't misunderstand, I just don't want Brother Bai to get into trouble because of me."
They both looked so pitiful, as if she were the bad guy.
Gu Fanyan didn't want to dwell on this anymore. "Let me see Gu Zheng." She wanted to get on with the important things first.
Lin Zhibai frowned, looking troubled.
Gu Fanyan glared at him, her eyes filled with anger.
Lin Zhibai lowered her eyes and gestured for her assistant to lead her inside.
Gu Fanyan walked into a private room. In the dim light, a person was half-lying on the sofa, motionless.
His exposed wrists were covered in scars.
"What did Lin Zhibai do to him?" Gu Fanyan asked.
“Miss Gu, please don’t misunderstand,” the assistant explained, “Young Master Lin really didn’t do anything to him. He attacked Young Master Lin as soon as they met, but he couldn’t beat Young Master Lin and ended up getting beaten down himself.”
Gu Fanyan asked, "You didn't do anything either?"
The assistant shook his head: "Heaven and earth bear witness, we would not do anything without Young Master Lin's orders."
Gu Fanyan called out to the figure on the sofa, "Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng?"
Gu Zheng tried to move, but he didn't have the strength.
Gu Fanyan gestured to her assistant to help him up.
Upon seeing Gu Zheng's appearance, she couldn't suppress her anger. "Take him away," she immediately ordered.
Gu Zheng's face was practically a color palette, and Lin Zhibai's assistant still had the nerve to talk so arrogantly!
“Miss Gu,” the assistant immediately stepped forward to stop him, “this won’t do. You can’t take him away without Young Master Lin’s permission!”
"Get out of my way!" Gu Fanyan shouted angrily, "I'm going out to talk to him!"
"Sister Fanyan, you can't take Gu Zheng away." Lin Zhibai came in and gestured for his assistant to leave.
Gu Fanyan did as instructed.
Now that only she, him, and Gu Zheng were left in the private room, they could speak freely about what needed to be said.
“I must protect Gu Zheng,” Gu Fanyan said bluntly. “Lin Guangchen called me. If something happens to Gu Zheng, he can’t guarantee he won’t do anything to my mother.”
Gu Zheng chuckled as if he had sobered up from a drunken stupor, "He won't do anything, at most he'll just make your mother have a few more episodes. Your family is rich, right? Use the best medicine, you can save her life."
"Slap!" Lin Zhibai stepped forward and slapped Gu Zheng across the face.
Gu Zheng was knocked down onto the sofa.
"Sister Fanyan, you can't compromise with them. They'll just keep exploiting your weaknesses!" Lin Zhibai said.
"Then what do you think I should do?" Gu Fanyan asked back. "That's right. If Lin Guangchen really did something to my mother, I can call the police to arrest him, or I can send him to jail."
"But what if my mother dies because of him? Even if I kill him, can my mother come back to life?"
Lin Zhibai frowned: "We can find a way to protect your mother. As for Gu Zheng, I have evidence now and can send him to jail, leaving Lin Guangchen with no options."
"Lin Guangchen must be made to suffer; that's the best way to punish him!"
Gu Fanyan asked, "What evidence do you have to send Gu Zheng to jail?"
“There is surveillance video when he pushed Shengxin,” Lin Zhibai replied.
Gu Fanyan felt her mind go blank after a sudden explosion.
Is it Shengxin?
He probably did all this because of Shengxin!
"Sister Fanyan," he saw her face suddenly turn pale and immediately stepped forward to support her, "Think carefully, what I said is the solution to the problem!"
"Lin Guangchen did all this for Gu Zheng. Only when Gu Zheng is punished will Lin Guangchen stop his crazy actions!"
Gu Fanyan asked, "Sheng Xin's baby is perfectly fine, why are you going to sue Gu Zheng?"
“It doesn’t have to be perfectly fine!” Sheng Xin appeared at the door and walked in resolutely. “Miss Gu, it shouldn’t have existed in the first place.”
"If it can help you solve a big problem, then it has had its value in the first place."
Gu Fanyan couldn't believe what she was hearing.
The words spoken by a mother.
However, considering Sheng Xin's deep affection for Lin Zhibai, it seems that saying such a thing is not so unreasonable.
They are both very considerate of each other.
Ultimately, she's still the bad person.
"Lin Zhibai," she gave herself another chance, "can I take Gu Zheng with me?"
She desperately wished he were in front of Sheng Xin right now, so she could take the person away.
This has nothing to do with Gu Zheng anymore; it's a subtle contest between her and Sheng Xin.
She hoped he would understand.
About one minute has passed.
For Gu Fanyan, it felt like an eternity.
She had never felt such torment.
But she was unwilling to give up.
Finally, Lin Zhibai spoke up, "Sister Fanyan, you can't take him away now."
Gu Fanyan swayed, feeling as if she had been hit hard in the chest, the impact being more intense than she had imagined.
