Chapter 214: 214: The Unreliable Condition He Proposed_1

It gave people hope and confidence.

I nodded,

“I came to visit Uncle Ding. If there’s anything you need my help with, just let me know.”

Ding Yinuo didn’t say anything and just asked Su Peisheng for a cigarette.

He stood in the corridor, smoking.

I could tell that he was trying hard to hide his emotions.

“Okay!”

“The police are blocking the area, so I can’t visit Uncle Ding anymore! I’ll come visit next time!”

“I can walk you out!”

When we came out of the hospital, Ding Yinuo was standing by my side.

He was silent, his head lowered as if thinking about something, I could feel he seemed lost in his own thoughts.

In the elevator, Wenya asked,

“Manager Ding, is Uncle Ding’s illness serious?”

Ding Yinuo slowly turned to look at her, and after a while, he seemed not knowing what to say.

But Su Peisheng quickly interrupted, “Silly girl, why are you talking so much today? Manager Ding, ignore her.”

Ding Yinuo chuckled a little, then stopped talking.

When we stepped out of the elevator, I realized the gravity of the situation.

I stopped Ding Yinuo, “You don’t have to escort me anymore, go take care of Uncle Ding! We can leave on our own.”

“Okay, then!”

He didn’t insist further. I felt as if he went with us out of habit.

But his absent-minded demeanor made me wonder if he only felt safe when he was with me?

After seeing Ding Yinuo up the stairs, the three of us left the hospital.

Once we were a safe distance away, Wenya said to Su Peisheng,

“Why are you so weird today? I just wanted to show some concern for Uncle Ding! We are all friends, what’s the matter with that?”

“Look at you, heartless. Asking about this now is like rubbing salt into the wound.”

“Is Uncle Ding really that serious?”

I asked.

“He’s in serious condition! This involves the Ding family’s reputation! You know, Uncle Ding has always been very proud. The older generation cares a lot about their dignity. This incident being exposed, even without imprisonment, he would not be able to face people.”

Su Peisheng sighed repeatedly.

“The old man must be under great pressure! I heard, he refused to cooperate with the treatment and refused to take his medicine, like he wants to die!”

Upon hearing this, Wenya also grasped the seriousness of the situation.

“So what do we do?”

Su Peisheng shook his head,

“We’re trying to do what we can! But this time, I’m afraid we are helpless. We can only hope that Manager Ding can pull through! But right now, the most important thing is to control public opinion, otherwise things will get out of control.”

I was silent.

Thinking about it, this attack against Uncle Ding.

Was also part of the plan Gu Yuanzhou had written in that book.

However, the plan just mentioned exposing Uncle Ding’s skeletons in the closet, it didn’t specify any particular wrongdoing.

Back then, I suggested Ding Yinuo send his parents abroad to avoid the public eye, unfortunately, he didn’t take my advice.

And now, the situation had spiraled out of control.

Though regretting it now isn’t very helpful.

Standing at the crossroads, I thought about how more details of Gu Yuanzhou’s plan targeting the Ding family had not yet been put into action.

If he really went all out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This thought gave me a chill.

“Ayun, why aren’t you moving?”

Wenya waved her hand in front of me.

I collected myself,

“Uh, you go ahead with Su Peisheng, I have something to do!”

“Ayun, are you planning something?”

“I have a friend I need to see!”

“Alright, see you later!”

Wenya got into Su Peisheng’s car, and they drove away quickly.

I stood at the entrance of the hospital, looking up in the direction Ding Yinuo had gone.

After a while, I pulled out my phone and called Gu Yuanzhou.

“I want to talk to you!”

“It seems you’ve finally come to your senses, haven’t you?”

“You name the place!”

“Maple Mansion then!”

“Gu Yuanzhou, or I could go to Zhenyi Company. We don’t need to meet somewhere so private!”

“Do you think you have a say in this?”

“Alright!”

I agreed directly, afraid that he would change his mind.

But I couldn’t understand why he always wanted me to come to the place where he was keeping Ye Mengyan!

I got ready, and arrived for our 6 o’clock appointment.

I had already returned the key to Maple Mansion to Gu Yuanzhou, so when I arrived, I had to stand at the door and knock.

It took a while before I heard Gu Yuanzhou’s voice from inside.

“The door’s not locked, come in!”

After I entered,

I saw Gu Yuanzhou sitting in the living room, sipping tea.

He looked relaxed.

Upon hearing the sound, he raised his head, his jet-black eyes looking at me.

“Gu Yuanzhou! What do you want?”

“Have a seat!”

He tapped on the table, then poured me a cup of tea.

“Have some, I made this tea! Tell me how it tastes!”

“Gu Yuanzhou, I didn’t come here to drink tea. What outcome are you aiming for with the situation of the Ding family?”

“I told you, have your tea! If you don’t want to drink, then you can leave!”

Gu Yuanzhou held his teacup, looking at me coldly.

I had no choice but to suppress the anger roaring inside me, and drank the tea in front of me.

“How does it taste?”

“It’s bitter, under-brewed, and the tea leaves aren’t good!”

I was blunt.

He laughed lightly, “You’re quite accurate!”

“Do you know why?”

“I’m not interested in knowing why, and I don’t care about tea brewing. I’m here to talk about the situation of the Ding family.”

I lost my patience, I didn’t want to have an extra word with him.

I just wanted to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and leave.

Gu Yuanzhou looked calm,

“In the past, Ye Mengyan used to brew tea for me and cook dinner. Now, without anyone to handle these things for me, they become like this.”

I calmly told him,

“Have you ever thought that because of affection, it blinds you with tinted glasses?”

“He was coerced by Ding Yinuo when he was threatened, and lied in order to protect himself.”

“But police are not fools! We are living in a lawful society now, if Ding Yinuo is indeed framing her, I trust the judges and police would not be deceived, right?”

Gu Yuanzhou’s face darkened at my words.

“Is this what you came to tell me today?”

“Gu Yuanzhou, what do you want?”

He looked at me, a smirk in his eyes, “I want to watch as the Ding family collapses!”

“Are you crazy? Just for Ye Mengyan, you want to hurt so many innocent people?”

“The people from Ding family are not innocent! They have all done terrible things in the past, I just happened to report them. If they are innocent, why would they be afraid of being reported? It’s not like I was forcing them to take bribes, right?”

“They have been framed!”

“Oh, as you said earlier, the law is just! So, we should trust the judges and police, shouldn’t we?”

He threw back at me the words I had just said!

I felt that he intentionally humiliated me by asking me to come today. I was furious, but could do nothing.

“So what do you want in order to leave the Ding family alone?”
