When Han Dong was getting ready to go to bed, he received a call from Bai Yuming.
Bai Yuming said that he had called to express his concern about the accident. The man admitted that he was a thief and that he targeted Lu Yu and Su Yicen because he thought they had valuables on them. When going down the escalator, he pretended to be unsteady and deliberately bumped into Lu Yu and Su Yicen in order to take advantage of the situation and steal something from them. He didn't expect that he didn't control his strength well and bumped into them too hard.
Han Dong was angry: "Is there such a fat thief?"
"Captain Han, this is the first time I've encountered a case like this. You clearly feel that it's wrong, but he insists on saying so, which makes sense. There's no evidence, Captain Han." Bai Yuming's tone was full of helplessness.
Han Dong forced himself to stay calm and said, "Isn't this enough to be considered intentional injury? The patient is still in the ICU and is in danger of death. We should do what we need to do first, and then check their family and social connections to see if they have any large amounts of income from unknown sources recently."
"I know that. I've asked my men to investigate. Contact me when there's news." Bai Yuming hung up the phone.
Su Ran heard everything nearby. No wonder Han Dong didn't want to tell her. It was too difficult to find out the truth. Their opponents were too powerful. What was funny was that the opponents were her relatives.
Of course, she had no feelings for these so-called relatives, only blood ties, so she didn't feel sad, but just felt ironic and ridiculous. Su Ran decided to wait until her mother passed the safe period before solving the problem.
Gu Yunchen first sent Ning Xi home and then went home himself. Everyone in the family was already asleep. Gu Yunchen walked up the stairs lightly. He looked up inadvertently and was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost rolled down the stairs.
"Mom, do you know it's scary for you to stand here in the middle of the night?" Gu Yunchen patted his chest to calm himself.
Mom was standing at the stairs in a white nightgown, with her hair loose and expressionless, like a ghost.
Zhu Huiyu said, "I was thirsty in the middle of the night, so I went downstairs to get some water. Why did you come back just now?"
"Oh, I have something to do." Gu Yunchen said perfunctorily.
"What's going on that requires you to work till late at night?" Zhu Huiyu walked downstairs and when she approached her son, she sniffed and smelled a scent of perfume, which should be Dior J'adore.
Zhu Huiyu frowned: "You have been staying with Ning Xi until now?"
She had smelled this perfume on Ning Xi before. Yun Chen didn't come into contact with many women, so she was sure it was Ning Xi's.
Gu Yunchen was secretly horrified. Is my mother Sherlock Holmes? Just smell him and you will know who he is with.
Gu Yunchen hasn't confessed his feelings to Ning Xi yet, but he doesn't want his mother to interfere.
"Yes, Su Ran's grandmother and mother fell from the escalator in the mall today. Her grandmother broke her leg, and her mother had just had surgery and was sent to the ICU. She is still in danger of death. I just happened to know about it, so I went to see Ning Xi, too." Gu Yunchen sighed, "I don't know if Su Ran's family has offended Tai Sui. She was almost hit by a car, and her grandmother and mother got into trouble again."
He also didn't expect that the person who quarreled with his mother that day was actually Su Ran's mother. Adah was not Ning Xi's relative at all, but Su Ran's sister.
Ning Xi, this cunning woman, even retorted that she and Su Ran are like sisters, and is there anything wrong with Su Ran's relatives being her relatives
Gu Yunchen smiled bitterly helplessly. She always had a point.
Zhu Huiyu's eyes flickered, and then she said nonchalantly, "Go to bed early!"
Having said that, he went downstairs first.
Gu Yunchen touched his nose and felt a little strange. Wasn't Mom so angry that day that her lungs were about to explode? She also asked Old Song to keep an eye on them and wanted to make trouble for Su Ran's mother. Now that she heard that they were in trouble, shouldn't Mom gloat and say... "It's what you deserve?"
He was so calm and composed, with no reaction at all.
Gu Yunchen shook his head, went back to his room, took off his coat, and untied his tie. Suddenly, he froze and an incredible thought popped up in his mind.
Could the so-called accident be my mother’s revenge
Then Gu Yunchen denied it. How to explain Su Ran's accident? Mom had no reason to deal with Su Ran. Mom knew that Su Ran was the leading actress of "Eleven". The film was about to start. If Su Ran got into trouble, where could he find a more suitable heroine than Su Ran? This movie was his first big project after joining Wanli.
However, Gu Yunchen thought again of the resentful look his mother gave him when his grandfather asked her to resign as chairman of Wanli.
Did Mom want to deliberately mess up his project to prove that he was incompetent and then regain control of Wanli
So there were two accidents and two reasons. The mother might not have known at all that that was Su Ran’s mother. It was just a coincidence.
When Gu Yunchen thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat. Question marks kept popping up in his mind, and he was in a dilemma.
"Knock knock knock." The sudden knock on the door startled Gu Yunchen.
"Yun Chen."
It’s mom.
"The door is not locked." Gu Yunchen took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Zhu Huiyu pushed the door open and came in with a glass of milk in her hand.
"I poured you a glass of milk. Drink it and go to bed early." Zhu Huiyu put the milk on the table.
"Oh, thanks, Mom."
Zhu Huiyu stared at her son for a few seconds and said coldly, "In the future, except for work-related interactions, try to have less contact with them. You must know your identity and the burden you bear. That kind of woman can never enter our Gu family."
That kind of woman? Gu Yunchen didn't like it when his mother spoke of Su Ran or Ning Xi in such a condescending and disdainful tone.
He never thought that he was great just because he was a family man.
"Mom, I know my identity, but I will not make my marriage a transaction. I will only marry someone I like. In fact, I don't care who inherits the Gu family's business, as long as the Gu family's business still belongs to the Gu family." Gu Yunchen made his attitude clear. Don't always bring up the Gu family's business. So far, grandpa has not made any requirements on his marriage. It's always mom who talks. Mom just wants him to marry a woman who can be controlled by her.
Zhu Huiyu looked angry, glared at Gu Yunchen, and left.
Gu Yunchen went to close the door, locked it, let out a depressed breath, turned around and saw milk, and Gu Yunchen's expression relaxed again.
He felt a little guilty. How could he think so viciously of his own mother
He remembered that when he was studying in Xinghai Country, he had a severe cold and a high fever. When his mother found out, she flew over for more than ten hours overnight and stayed with him until he recovered. Whenever he felt a little uncomfortable, his mother would be very nervous. How could she deal with him? Even if his mother wanted to plan for the Zhu family, he was her own son. How could the Zhu family be closer to her than her own son
Yes, mom can be a little mean and unkind sometimes, but she wouldn’t kill anyone.
He must be overthinking it, it's impossible.
