Chapter 393
And to top it all off, this inside man, hurt Rong Shu!
“It’s time to terminate and do so immediately, I’ll call her out now.” Cheng Huai was about to hang up the phone right away.
The police know about it and will summon Li Zhaodi to cooperate with the investigation, so we can just go to the police station.”
“That’s fine.” Cheng Huai nodded his head, but then, angry, he yelled again, “D*mn, I pride myself on having a good eye for people, but I never thought that this time, I would actually fall into the hands of such a woman, I’m really angry.”
The only thing I can say is that we were too conceited and thought we had everything under control, but now reality has dealt us a blow, but that’s good, if you suffer once, you won’t fall for similar tricks again.”
“That’s true.” Cheng Huai smiled bitterly, then said apologetically “I’m sorry, Rongshu, for causing you to get hurt.”
“It’s okay, let’s leave it like this for now, I’ll contact you later when the police inform us that we can go over.” Rongshu pinched her brow.
Cheng Huai gave a hint, “Okay.”
Meanwhile, the Gu family.
Gu Yaotian and his wife were having dinner with Gu Man’er, not knowing what was going on, Gu Man’er suddenly felt stuffy in her heart and had a bad feeling.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Gu Man’er put down her chopsticks, took the phone out of her pocket and looked at it. When she saw that the caller ID was for the public security department of the city of Shanghai, her face suddenly changed and she subconsciously stood up.
This action aroused the suspicion of Gu Yaotian and his wife.
“Mangyou, what’s wrong?” Gu Yaotian asked as he put down his chopsticks.
Mrs. Gu also looked at her with concern, “Yes Mangyou, why is your face so ugly all of a sudden, who’s calling?”
“It’s …… it’s my previous adoptive father.” Gu Man’er lowered her eyelids, hiding the weakness in her eyes and lied.
Gu Yaotian slapped a slap on the table, his expression grim, “Is it the one who called you for money?”
“Should …… should be.” Gu Man’er head lowered more and more.
Gu Yaotian coldly snorted, “I have said before that you should not contact that family again, why do you just not listen to me, how many times has this been the first time that you were asked for money?”
“Yes Mangyou.” Mrs. Gu nodded in agreement, “Think about how that family treated you, why are you still remembering them, the more you remember them, the more they pester you.”
“I’m sorry mum and dad, I know I’m wrong.” Gu Man’er squeezed the corners of her mouth and apologized, hating the Li family in her heart.
Where was she the one who contacted the Li family, she couldn’t wait to disa*sociate herself from them for the rest of her life.
When she went to the mall, she met an aunt from Li’s village who worked as a cleaning lady in the mall, and she asked her for her contact information, so she gave it to her.
However, to her surprise, the aunt actually gave her contact details to the couple, and then when the couple found out that she was doing so well, they actually went against the terms they had promised Mr. Cheng and took the initiative to call her and ask her for money.
If she hadn’t used Mr. Cheng to pressure that couple, I’m afraid that couple would have directly found their way to Hai City.
“It’s good that you know you’re wrong, change your number again later and break it off with them completely.” Gu Yaotian picked up his chopsticks again and instructed.
Gu Man’er nodded repeatedly, “I know, I’ll make it clear to them as well.”
She got up and walked towards the outside of the restaurant.
If it was really a call from the Li family, there was naturally no need for her to avoid her parents.
But as it happened, the call was not from the Li family, but from the police station.
She didn’t know why the police were calling her, so just in case, it was better for her to go out and answer it.
When she came to the living room, Gu Man’er answered the phone and put the phone to her ear, her voice trembled a little as she spoke, “Hello ……”
“May I ask if this is Miss Gu Man’er?” An indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing this voice, Gu Man’er knew that it was definitely not something good, and the hand that was gripping the phone could not help but tighten up a lot, “I am.”
“Since this is Miss Gu Man’er, then please come to the police station within one hour to cooperate with the case investigation.” The caller said.
Gu Man’er’s face changed, “Case investigation? Is …… what a case investigation?”
The only thing she had done recently, which she called a case, was attacking Miss Rong.
It was hard to believe that the police department was referring to this?
If this is really the case, does that mean that Chen Xiuzhi gave her up?
But that wasn’t right, although Chen Xiuzhi knew what she looked like, she didn’t know her name, so even if she had confessed, there was no way that the police would have been so quick to look into her ah, after all, the police couldn’t have seen what she looked like through Chen Xiuzhi’s memory, right?
So it must not be this thing, definitely not!
Gu Man’er took a deep breath and told herself this in her heart.
However, the next words from the police station completely cut off Gu Man’er’s hope, “It’s about the case of your a*sault on Miss Rong Shu.”
Snapped!
The mobile phone in Gu Man’er’s hand fell to the ground, blackening the screen.
And her entire person, too, froze in place, her hands and feet cold, her body shivering slightly.
It was actually true that this was the thing.
She was actually really found out!
Then Miss Rong is Gu Man’er this secret, is it going to be unable to keep?
And Mr. Cheng, what would he think of her when he found out that she had betrayed them?
For a moment, a great sense of fear struck her, pressing Gu Man’er so hard that she couldn’t breathe.
She did not want to go to the police station.
Because she knew that if she went to the police station, maybe she wouldn’t be able to come back.
But if she doesn’t go to ……
The first time I thought of something, Gu Man’er hastily squatted down and picked up the phone on the ground.
It is a good thing that the phone was not broken, only the screen was shattered and turned off, it did not affect the reboot.
Gu Man’er hurriedly searched for the consequences of refusing a police summons, and when she saw the answers on the internet, her heart went cold to the bottom.
If she refused the police summons, a police officer would come to her door and forcefully detain her.
That way, word would get out immediately that she had committed a crime, and her parents would know.
No, she couldn’t let them know.
Gu Man’er bit her lip and thought, “It’s just the police station, she’ll go there, as long as she doesn’t admit it, won’t that be enough?
The police station was the only place she could go.
The woman’s face was white and she was clearly in shock, so she was distressed, “Man’er, what’s wrong? Did those shameless people from the Li family scold you?”
“No, it’s because I thought of something unhappy, dad, mum, I want to go out for a break.” Gu Man’er’s eyes flashed as she looked at Gu Yaotian and his wife.
Gu Yaotian nodded, “Go ahead, I’ll transfer some money to you later, buy something you like.”
“Thank you dad.” Gu Man’er said thank you.
Gu Yaotian smiled a little, “You are my only daughter, what are you thanking me for.”
Gu Man’er lowered her eyelids, hiding the darkness in her eyes.
It was like this, the better this pair of parents treated her, the more she didn’t want to leave the Gu family, not only because of the Gu family’s wealth, but also because of her parents’ doting love.
So no matter what, Gu Man’er’s identity, she can’t lose it, she must find a way to get through this crisis.
After squeezing her palms, Gu Man’er left the Gu family and went to the police station.
And Rong Shu and Cheng Huai, too, went out one after another to rush to the police station.
Perhaps it was God’s deliberate arrangement that the three of them arrived at the police station at almost the same time.
Then the three of them met in front of the police station.
Chapter 394
When she saw Rong Shu and Cheng Huai, Gu Man’er subconsciously felt weak and scared, and her feet unconsciously took a step backwards, hastily lowering her head to avoid their sight.
The way she dared not face them was too obvious, and at first glance, she had done something wrong to them.
Cheng Huai was already completely convinced that the person who had attacked Rong Shu was her.
He stared at her coldly, “What are you hiding for? When you see our two old proprietors, shouldn’t you say hello?”
As Gu Man’er listened to his emotionless words, her heart stung while she buried her head even lower.
She didn’t expect that she would meet both Rong Shu and Cheng Huai right here by coincidence.
If it was only Rongshu, she could still cope.
But facing Cheng Huai ……
Gu Man’er bit her lip, her heart inexpressibly flustered.
She liked Cheng Huai, was brought to the city of Hai and liked him the first time she saw him, because she had never seen such a handsome and outstanding man in all her life.
But she also knew that she didn’t deserve him and he wouldn’t look at her, so she did a good job of hiding her feelings in the deepest recesses of her heart and not letting him find out.
Although she never wanted to be with him, she also wanted him to remember her, so during this time, she worked hard to change herself, learning all kinds of knowledge and skills to make herself better, just so that one day, her image in his mind would change from a grey head at the beginning to a dazzling white swan.
Perhaps at that time, she would be able to be worthy of him and possess the qualifications to be with him?
Now, however, Mr. Cheng must have known about her hurting Miss Rong, and it was clear from his icy attitude and tone of voice that he loathed her.
And this, indeed, was the most unacceptable thing to her. She could accept everyone’s disgust, including Miss Rong’s, but not his.
Thinking about it, Gu Man’er’s eyes reddened and she hurriedly raised her head to look at Cheng Huai, “Mr. Cheng, I ……”
“Well Cheng Huai, let’s go in first, what’s the matter, say it at the police station.” Rongshu suddenly opened her mouth, her voice clear and cold, interrupting her words.
Cheng Huai gave a hint, went forward and pushed up her wheelchair, and said to Chen Xingnuo “You can wait for us in the car.”
“Okay.” Chen Xingnuo nodded her head and agreed.
After all, she had too much blood on her hands, and even though it was the blood of the people who deserved to die, going into the police station made her feel a bit weak.
Cheng Huai pushed Rong Shu into the police station, not even looking at Gu Man’er the whole time.
Gu Man’er stood in place, biting her lip as she watched their backs, her palms slowly squeezing up.
In the car, Chen Xingnuo lit a lady’s cigarette and took a comfortable puff, then smiled and surveyed Gu Man’er outside, hooking his lips and smiling.
This woman, she actually likes Cheng Huai ah.
Interesting, really interesting!
Seemingly sensing Chen Xingnuo’s eyes, Gu Man’er glanced back and met Chen Xingnuo’s eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, panicking for a moment, then hurriedly lowered her head and headed for the police station.
When she arrived at the interrogation room, Gu Man’er’s eyes sank when she saw Rong Shu Cheng Huai and Chen Xiuzhi inside.
Sure enough, it was Chen Xiuzhi, the woman who had given her up.
I just didn’t know how the police had found out about her.
“Cheng Huai!” Rong Shu tugged on Cheng Huai’s sleeve.
Cheng Huai lowered his head, “What’s wrong?”
“What was Li Zhaodi’s reaction when she saw Chen Xiuzhi?” She asked in a lowered voice.
Chen Xiuzhi had been brought over from Lin Tianchen’s side by someone sent by the police station.
Since Chen Xiuzhi was only the one who took the blame and not the one who really did it to her, she had greeted Lin Tianchen and didn’t let him really test Chen Xiuzhi’s drugs, but only let Lin Tianchen put Chen Xiuzhi in custody temporarily.
But when she heard that Lin Tianchen had locked Chen Xiuzhi up in the hospital morgue and made her guard the corpse, after a few days of continuous guarding, Chen Xiuzhi was scared enough that her spirit was in a trance for a while.
“There’s nothing to react to.” Cheng Huai swept a glance at Gu Man’er back.
Rongshu pursed her red lips, “Looks like she’s acting quite well.”
As she was speaking, a police officer pointed to the opposite position of the interrogated and said to Gu Man’er, “You sit over there.”
Gu Man’er looked up and saw that it was right next to Chen Xiuzhi.
She didn’t say anything and went over to sit down.
Rong Shu and Cheng Huai, on the other hand, were standing next to some police officers.
The police officer in the lead spoke up, “Gu Man’er, the person next to you, do you know him?”
Gu Man’er’s eyes flickered slightly, then she turned her head to look at Chen Xiuzhi and shook her head with a puzzled look, “No, I’ve never seen him before.”
Chen Xiuzhi’s eyes widened incredulously, “You’re lying!”
These days, she had been locked up in the hospital and had been clear that she had been hypnotised and then given an account of everything.
At first, she was afraid that after being given an account of everything, her son would be hopeless, yet Dr. Lin told her that after so many days, the person who had asked her to take the blame had not made any payment at all to the hospital where her son was, which made her angry and hateful.
Luckily, in the end, Dr. Lin said that he could help her apply for a charity fund to treat her son, as long as she accused the person who made her take the blame.
For the sake of her son, she was willing to agree to Dr. Lam, yet now this person who made her take the blame, actually said he didn’t know her!
“I’m not lying, I really don’t know you.” Gu Man’er blinked her eyes, innocence written all over her face.
She then crossed over to Rong Shu and Cheng Huai and looked at the few police officers opposite her, “Officer, I really don’t know her.”
“Nonsense, you’re nonsense!” Chen Xiuzhi didn’t expect Gu Man’er to be so shameless, she pointed at her emotionally and said angrily, “It was clearly you who found me and said that after you attacked Miss Rong, you would let me take the blame for you, but now you are saying that you don’t know me, officer, what I said is true, it was really her who attacked Miss Rong, I didn’t lie!”
“You said I attacked Miss Rong?” Gu Man’er laughed, “Then tell me why I attacked Miss Rong, do you have proof that I attacked Miss Rong?”
“I ……” Chen Xiuzhi choked for a moment and said weakly “I really have no proof, but I just know that you attacked Miss Rong, you attacked her because you thought she would threaten your identity, that’s what you said to me at the time. You said that to me yourself.”
When she heard ‘she would threaten your identity’, Gu Man’er’s face changed and her eyes subconsciously looked towards Rong Shu.
What she didn’t expect was that Rong Shu had been looking at her the whole time, so she just happened to meet Rong Shu’s gaze this time.
Gu Man’er did not know that Rong Shu could not see, but when she looked into Rong Shu’s cold eyes, her pupils contracted for a moment, then she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and continued to argue with Chen Xiuzhi at a louder volume, as if this was the only way to hide her perversion.
However, even if she tried to conceal it, her abnormality just now was still seen by several people in Cheng Huai’s eyes.
Rongshu narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gu Man’er and Chen Xiuzhi’s argument continued, and several police officers listened with their heads spinning.
“Alright, all be quiet for now!” The police officer in the lead patted the table impatiently, signalling the two to stop arguing.
Both of them quieted down.
At this moment, Rong Shu suddenly said “Li Zhaodi, up to now you are still sophistry, and so calmly sophistry, really make me admire.”
Hearing the words Li Zhaodi, a trace of gloom flashed under Gu Man’er’s eyes.
It had been a long time since she had heard someone call her by that name, and to her, apart from the rustic nature of the name, what was more important was that it no longer reminded her all the time what an embarra*sing birth she had.
So she had been forgetting everything about her past, including the name, yet now that Rongshu had mentioned it again, it made her feel instantly transported back to that unpleasant past.
