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

Chapter 69 Pay the price
Wei Zhou had come back to retrieve something. After seeing the words she had written, he said, "Miss Su has woken up. Madam, please don't worry."

"You should rest well first, and we'll make plans after the police investigation results are available."

In fact, Wei Zhou found it a bit absurd, but he could also feel the thrill and excitement. In the year since Miss Su returned, many "accidents" of all sizes have occurred around these two ladies.

Song Jin'an remained silent, but Wei Zhou couldn't help but say again, "Madam, please rest assured. As long as you really didn't do it, the police will definitely give you justice."

What he said was, of course, beyond reproach. Song Jin'an nodded and said nothing more before going upstairs.

She seemed a bit off when she was with Gu Hetang, and Lin Ma noticed it, so she told her to go and rest while she stayed with Gu Hetang.

Song Jin'an felt weak and sat on the sofa with a somewhat empty look in her eyes, staring at Gu Hetang like a stone statue.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the incident had become quite a big deal, and Su's parents had also learned about it. However, the couple was on business in another city and had already boarded a plane to return home.

Duan Nanhe and Xiao Yi also rushed to the hospital.

Xiao Yi reacted strongly. Before even going to the ward, he pointed at Gu Xijue's nose and started cursing at him in the corridor!
Upon hearing that Su Ruoya had suffered two knife wounds, he completely lost his composure and looked at Gu Xijue, saying, "Are you out of your mind?"

"She has repeatedly harmed Ruoya, and you've turned a blind eye, even protecting her time and time again. Gu Xijue, do you really want Ruoya to die at that woman's hands before you're satisfied?"

Xiao Yi was absolutely furious, and he completely lost his usual gentle and refined demeanor. Instead, he was like a leopard that would bite anyone who provoked him to death!

"Let me tell you, if you won't protect Ruoya, I will! This time, I will make Song Jin'an pay the price and get justice for Ruoya!"

Duan Nan was stunned by Xiao Yi's outburst because of Su Ruoya. He didn't really believe that Su Ruoya would suffer a loss, but he didn't want to say anything at the moment.

Gu Xijue's eyes were icy, and his voice was flat and emotionless: "Which eye of yours saw me protecting Song Jin'an?"

He didn't; it's just that the police are currently investigating.

"You didn't protect her?" Xiao Yi sneered. "If you didn't protect her, why isn't she in a detention center right now, but instead enjoying a comfortable life in the villa you bought!"

“If we leave her alone before things are settled, it will damage the Gu family’s reputation.”

This is also one of the reasons why Gu Xijue asked Wei Zhou to bail him out.

"Is the Gu family's reputation more important than Ruoya?" Xiao Yi was practically going crazy. He approached Gu Xijue step by step, wanting to throw a punch at his face. Duan Nanhe quickly stepped between the two and said loudly, "Alright, both of you, say less."

"Don't even mention the Western Conference Finals; the family's reputation is also very important." Duan Nanhe truly has the right to speak on this point. Over the years, no matter how much fun he's had outside, he would never do anything that touches the family's reputation.

Moreover, the police have not yet released the final investigation results, and it is too early to sentence the little mute boy to death.

"This is only because you don't love her enough, Gu Xijue. Do you treat Ruoya as a pastime when you're bored? You want her by your side but you won't divorce that woman. You really want both!"

That's disgusting!
Duan Nanhe couldn't help but speak up: "Alright, you should say less." "This matter is still unresolved, there may be other hidden reasons." After he finished speaking, Xiao Yi, who was standing next to him, got angry and glared at Duan Nanhe: "What do you mean there are other hidden reasons? Duan Nanhe, I know you have never liked Ruoya and have always thought it was just a rivalry between two women."

"No normal woman would be so jealous as to stab herself twice to gain favor!"

To be honest, Duan Nanhe really couldn't believe that a woman like Song Jin'an would actually stab someone with a knife unless she was in self-defense. Moreover, he knew that Song Jin'an had ties after giving birth to her daughter, so she had even less reason to do such a thing, but he didn't say anything more.

Xiao Yi's chest heaved violently with anger, his fist slamming against the wall: "Song Jin'an must go to jail; she premeditatedly murdered Ruoya!"

Just then, the police arrived. When the lead officer saw that these three well-known rich young men from Haicheng were all there, he immediately realized that this case would be extremely difficult to handle.

The lead officer saw Gu Xijue and walked up to him: "Mr. Gu, we've come to ask Ms. Su about some of the facts."

Inside the ward, Su Ruoya's chest and arms were wrapped in white gauze, and her face was very pale.

Xiao Yi quickly went over and helped her sit up, leaning against the bed. Su Ruoya raised her pale face and looked at him: "Don't argue with Xi Jue because of me."

Xiao Yi felt a pang of sadness and asked, "Are you still in pain?"

Su Ruoya smiled and nodded. Of course it hurt. She looked at the police officers standing in front of the bed and understood that this was a routine questioning.

The lead officer stepped forward: "Ms. Su, we have received a report, and now we need you to tell me the whole story honestly and without any concealment."

Su Ruoya's expression was indifferent; she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, seemingly engaged in an internal struggle.

Looking at her injuries, she said softly, "Officer, please ask."

Standing to the side, Xiao Yi frowned as he looked at her heartbroken and distressed appearance: "Ruoya, tell me the truth about how that woman stabbed you. Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

“We had a little unpleasantness at the banquet. Miss Song went to the restroom, and I wanted to go after her to explain.”

She carefully recalled the scene, her face filled with sadness: "Before I went in, I was holding a small knife, the kind used for peeling mangosteens on the fruit stand, but I forgot to put it outside. So I just grabbed the knife and went into the bathroom. It was completely unconscious; I didn't know I was holding it..."

"It's probably because I'm closer to Xijue, and she cares a lot. Also, we had some unpleasantness before." The unpleasantness she was referring to was the matter with Song Jin'an's adoptive mother.

At this point, her tone became even lower: "It was probably because of that unpleasant incident that Miss Song suddenly snapped, grabbed the knife from my hand in the bathroom, and stabbed me. I frantically screamed for help."

She shifted all the blame onto Song Jin'an, making it sound as if the other woman was an extremely emotionally unstable woman.

The police officer, who was recording the conversation on camera, looked up at Su Ruoya and asked, "Do you remember exactly what you said?"
