After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 68 Still Not Awake
Song Jin'an, clutching her slashed thigh, crawled over to retrieve her phone, which had been flung far away.

Because of the bloodshed, the venue was in turmoil and filled with noise, but fortunately, the Jiang family reacted quickly and immediately had their bodyguards cordon off the area and disperse the crowd.

Song Jin'an leaned against the wall, her phone screen shattered and automatically shut down. She realized that whether it had recorded anything was still unknown. She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, completely drained of strength...

No one paid any attention to her; only several bodyguards surrounded her. Song Jin'an even felt like she was bleeding to death.

Not long after, a pair of men's leather shoes appeared in her downcast eyes. When she looked up, a flicker of light flashed across her eyes, followed by a dark glint.

Jiang Ciyu, dressed in a formal suit, stood in front of her: "You thought it was Gu Xijue who came?"

The next sentence was: "You've lost a lot of blood, I'll take you to the hospital."

On the way to the hospital, Jiang Ciyu was driving, and out of the corner of his eye, he kept seeing Song Jin'an clutching her badly damaged phone. He roughly understood what was going on: "There's a charging cable on your right."

Song Jin'an looked up at him, her eyes filled with unreadable emotions, as if she were saying something.

Jiang Ciyu gripped the steering wheel, his voice neither too loud nor too soft: "Since the incident with Su Ruoya happened at a banquet hosted by the Jiang family, the Jiang family has already called the police. Tell the police about any grievances you may have."

This means that he doesn't take sides, he only stands by reason.

Jiang Ciyu accompanied Song Jin'an to treat her wounds, but unexpectedly they ran into Gu Xijue here. This hospital was the closest to the venue, so emergency patients would definitely be sent here.

Gu Xijue's sinister eyes were fixed on the two of them. When he saw Jiang Ciyu standing next to her, he pulled her in front of him, ignoring the fact that she was also injured in the leg.

Such a strong pulling force caused Song Jin'an's bandaged wound to reopen, and blood instantly stained the gauze red.

He grabbed her by the neck and said coldly, "Song Jin'an, how dare you kill someone!"

"If anything happens to Ruoya, your worthless life can't possibly compensate for it!"

Gu Xijue's voice was icy cold, and Song Jin'an felt like he was about to strangle her.

Her face turned red, and she gestured with her hands to explain herself.

—I didn't hurt her; she stabbed herself with a knife!

It was clearly none of her business; her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.

At this moment, Jiang Ciyu reached out and pried Gu Xijue's hand off. Song Jin'an's exhausted body slid to the ground, but Jiang Ciyu caught her with lightning speed. Gu Xijue saw this and thought, "This woman really deserves to die!"
His face looked particularly frightening: "Song Jin'an, get over here!"

At this moment, Jiang Ciyu spoke first: "Mr. Gu, no matter what, Mrs. Gu is still your wife. It is rare for someone to strangle his wife for an outsider."

Song Jin'an felt ice-cold all over, as if gusts of icy wind were blowing into her bones.

A sense of powerlessness spread through her body, making her unsure whether she was dead or alive. Tears streamed down her face, but not wanting to appear pathetic in public, she sniffled and forcefully wiped away her tears.

He gestured with his hands again.

—Su Ruoya stabbed herself; it has nothing to do with me.

Her lips moved slightly, but she lowered her eyes and didn't want to say anything more.

Gu Xijue glared at Jiang Ciyu. He didn't have time to lose his temper with Song Jin'an anymore. Instead, he forcefully grabbed the woman's body and pulled her behind him, saying, "Young Master Jiang, this is my family matter. You don't need to worry about it." To Jiang Ciyu, these words sounded like, "Whether I hit my wife or not is none of your business."

Jiang Ciyu shrugged: "So, it turns out that President Gu has a habit of pinching his wife."

Just as Gu Xijue was about to speak again, the door to the emergency room finally opened. The doctor took off his mask and said to Gu Xijue, "Mr. Gu, Miss Su is fine now. The knife wound on her arm is quite deep and needs to be treated properly. The knife wound on her chest is shallower and is some distance from her heart, so it's not a big deal."

What the doctor meant was that although the person had been stabbed twice, neither stab was fatal.

A few minutes later, Su Ruoya, who had inhaled the anesthetic, was wheeled out of the emergency room. Gu Xijue had no time to care about Song Jin'an anymore. He rushed to Su Ruoya's window and followed the nurse into the ward.

He didn't turn around, and Song Jin'an watched him go further and further away until he disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Jiang Ciyu looked at her, his heart not stirred much, but he felt a little sorry for her, but he couldn't pity her...

A dark glint flashed in his eyes. A moment later, the police officers from the police station arrived and took Song Jin'an away for routine questioning. Because she was suspected of intentionally causing harm, she was taken to the police station's interrogation room for questioning.

She sat in the chair in the interrogation room, writing down each question the police asked.

However, when searching for evidence, her phone did not record any audio, so it seems there is no way to prove anything now.

Song Jin'an was detained. Just when she thought she would be sleeping in the detention center, Wei Zhou appeared, said something to the police outside, and soon the police came in and let her go.

In the car, Wei Zhou said, "Madam, as long as you actively cooperate with the police investigation, we will definitely be able to clear your name."

Wei Zhou was apprehensive as he said this. His wife's chances of winning this time were not high, because her fingerprints were found on the blood-stained knife handle at the crime scene.

Back at the villa, she sat alone by the bed for the entire night.

Song Jin'an no longer knew how to clear her name; it seemed that Su Ruoya had cut off all avenues for intervention.

But now, she has gone from being flustered at first to being indifferent. The next morning, she was absentmindedly feeding her child when the doorbell rang. When Lin's mother went to open the door, she was startled to see the two policemen with her.

His voice trembled slightly: "Madam..."

Song Jin'an comforted Lin's mother, telling her not to say anything at home that Gu Hetang might hear, and also told her to take good care of the child.

As they approached the door, one of the police officers said, "Mrs. Gu, please come with us to the scene again and describe in detail what happened."

The police officer said expressionlessly, "Cooperate fully and come with us."

Song Jin'an went along, and at the scene she recounted the whole story again. The police investigated several points of doubt she mentioned, but found nothing.

The current situation is very disadvantageous for Song Jin'an because there is not a single reliable piece of evidence in her favor.

Because she was released on bail, the case was not classified, and because she is still Mrs. Gu, the police sent her back to the villa intact.

Song Jin'an stayed in the villa for a day, and saw Wei Zhou again the next day.

She walked up to Wei Zhou and couldn't help but write on the paper, her gaze like a stagnant pool.

—Has Su Ruoya not woken up yet?
