Gu was naturally extremely guilty.
He didn't dare tell Yu Sheng that he was playing games with Qiao when she called him.
Lie: "I left my phone in the massage room. I saw you calling me, and when I tried to call you back, I couldn't get through. I was so worried..."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Yu Sheng didn't respond, but just stared at him, making him afraid to meet her gaze.
He sensed Yu Sheng's suspicion from her eyes and, fearing she would press him further, quickly changed the subject: "How did you fall down the mountain?"
Yu Sheng did have doubts about what Gu Ye said. Her woman's sixth sense told her that he didn't answer her SOS call because he was with Qiao Moya!
She didn't voice her thoughts, because even if she did, he would deny them.
It's better not to say anything at all; just say, "I was pushed down!"
Gu Ye's expression froze. "You were pushed down? By whom?"
"I didn't see who it was!"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Gu was lost in thought. "What are you thinking about?"
Gu suppressed his thoughts, saying, "I was wondering who pushed you!"
Yu Sheng probed, "Who do you think it could be?"
"I don't know, do you suspect the target?"
He could tell from Yu Sheng's expression and tone that she must have some suspicions about the target.
She didn't answer him, but picked up her phone and dialed another number.
He asked, puzzled, "Who did you call?"
She still didn't answer him. A few seconds later, the call connected, and he heard her say, "Hello, I need to call the police. Someone is trying to kill me!"
Gu Ye's expression froze, and he couldn't suppress the strange look in his eyes.
But after Yu Sheng hung up the phone, he returned to normal.
Why didn't you discuss calling the police with me first?
Why should I consult with you?
Gu also choked, but still said gently, "We are husband and wife, one. It's only right that you discuss such a big matter with me."
"Gu Ye, you used to be the person I trusted the most, but now... I don't trust you anymore!"
"Why? Just because I didn't answer your call, you've lost trust in me? I just explained to you that I left my phone at the massage parlor."
She forced herself to sit up, grabbed his shirt, and glared at him angrily: "Do you think I only lost trust in you because of this? My trust in you was already broken before this, it's just that subconsciously I still habitually trusted you..."
Gu Ye, his eyes red, remained silent for a while, filled with remorse: "I did lie to you about Jiang Jiang, but I never intended to hurt you!"
"You never intended to hurt me?" Yu Sheng sneered, reminding him, "Have you forgotten Charles's student, Ethan?"
Gu Ye's expression changed drastically.
He, who was usually good at pretending and using sweet words, couldn't utter a single word at this moment.
Yu Sheng's eyes were like sharp daggers piercing his heart, making him afraid to meet her gaze.
After a long while, his scattered mind gradually came back to its senses.
He gripped her hands tightly, panicking, "Sheng Sheng, that idea was Jiang Jiang's. I didn't agree at first. I know Xiao Cheng is the person you care about most. The reason I finally agreed was because I was afraid you would find out about me and Jiang Jiang, so I..."
Yu Sheng raised her hand to stop him from continuing, "No matter what the reason, it doesn't change the fact that you lied to me, you know? That hurt me more than your infidelity hurt me!"
After she finished speaking, Gu didn't try to argue anymore. He stared at her for a while, then raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the quiet ward, and it resonated in Yu Sheng's heart and before her eyes!
Before she could react, he raised his hand again and slapped himself across the face.
She could have stopped her, but she didn't!
She watched quietly as he slapped her a second time, then a third time, before resting his head on her hand, repeatedly saying with deep regret, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The damage has already been done, so what's the use of saying sorry now?
She lay back down on the bed, unmoved by his remorse, tears, and apologies...
The police responded quickly, and fifteen minutes later, two officers arrived at Yu Sheng's hospital room.
When they asked her about the situation and took her statement, Gu Ye stayed by her side the whole time.
"Miss Yu, do you have anyone you suspect?"
The policeman who asked Yu Sheng a question was surnamed Zhang.
Yu Sheng pondered for a moment and then said, "Qiao Moya!"
Officer Zhang: "Why do you suspect Jomoya?"
Yu Sheng first briefly told Officer Zhang about her relationship with Qiao Moya, and then talked about Qiao Moya's desire to become the spokesperson for Libu and Qiao Weiyang's attempt to get Gu Ye to help him get in through connections.
"Because I rejected Qiao Weiyang, Qiao Moya must be holding a grudge against me, so she harbors ill intentions towards me, and..."
"And what?"
"Besides harboring resentment and wanting to kill me, I suspect another reason she wanted to kill me was because she coveted my husband!"
The other reason Yu Sheng mentioned was something Gu Ye never expected. Before he could even react, Officer Zhang looked at him and said, "Mr. Gu, may I have a word with you?"
"Of course, let's go outside and talk. My wife isn't feeling well yet, let her rest first!"
Gu Ye's words demonstrated a husband's thoughtfulness, but Yu Sheng didn't think so.
She felt that he deliberately suggested going outside to talk to the police because he was afraid she would hear something she shouldn't.
Under her suspicious gaze, Gu Ye and the police left the ward.
She didn't know what they were talking about, but as she stared at the snow-white roof in deep thought, the image of Shang Yan running towards her, disregarding the thorns and snow, suddenly flashed into her mind...
I suddenly sat up in bed!
She didn't know where Shang Yan was right now. He had saved her, and she should thank him.
