Chapter 168: 168: Cross-Examination_1

“What are you talking about?”

“You’re still pretending?”

Wenya sneered.

I cleared my throat gently, “Wenya, let it go!”

“Why should I let it go! You almost lost your life!”

Wenya was livid, and wanted nothing more than to vent all her anger onto Gu Yuanzhou.

Surprisingly, Gu Yuanzhou remained calm when hearing her words.

He didn’t lose his temper, but instead said to Wenya very seriously,

“Miss Wen, if you have something to say, say it clearly! I don’t know what kind of impression you have of me, but you should articulate your thoughts clearly. These unfounded accusations are a kind of slander against me!”

“Slander? Huh, you’ve done something guilty and still afraid people would talk about it?”

“Miss Wen, I’ve mentioned before, please present some evidence, otherwise I might have to sue you!”

Gu Yuanzhou issued a warning.

“Let it go, Wenya!”

I cleared my throat gently again.

Wenya held back her words and stayed silent.

To everyone’s surprise, within a few minutes, another person walked into the ward.

It was Ye Mengyan.

“Why are you here?”

Gu Yuanzhou asked.

Ye Mengyan’s eyes twinkled with a gentle smile, and she spoke in her usual warm tone.

“I heard that you said on the phone that Xiaoyun was in the hospital, so I hurried over.”

Ye Mengyan was indeed prepared. In her hands she held flowers and a large fruit basket.

She came to my side with a worried look on her face.

“Xiaoyun, are you okay? Are your injuries severe?”

Although her words were filled with gentleness, her eyes didn’t show any hint of concern.

On the contrary, there was a trace of manipulation.

“Hey, you, stay back! Don’t come too close!”

Perhaps worried about Ye Mengyan harming me further, Wenya deliberately pushed her back a bit.

Ye Mengyan wasn’t angry, she just laughed and said,

“I’m just worried about you. You haven’t been to the office for a few days, your colleagues are concerned about you and often come to me asking about you.”

Having said this, she turned to look at Gu Yuanzhou.

Seeing that Gu Yuanzhou didn’t seem angry,

She continued,

“Xiaoyun, President Gu is also very worried about you. He thought you might have quietly resigned and went to another company. You should have called him considering how worried he was about you.”

Wenya shot her a look,

“Ayun was unconscious for three days, how could she inform Gu Yuanzhou? Through dreams? Even if she did, could you guys receive it?”

“Three days? That serious, was it a car accident? Xiaoyun, did you get a clear look at the perpetrator’s plate number?”

Ye Mengyan’s concerned demeanor might have fooled anyone else into thinking she genuinely cared for me.

I looked at her carefully.

Suddenly a thought struck me, could those previous text messages have been sent by Ye Mengyan?

She deliberately took Gu Yuanzhou’s phone, sent me a text using it, tested my attitude towards her,

Then set up a trap and asked me out.

Her suspicion was indeed very high, because she was the person who could easily get Gu Yuanzhou’s phone.

So, I proceeded to guide the conversation based on what she said.

“I remember the bar. The Lovers’ Bar; I know the bartender there, I can ask him about those three bullies. There are also cameras around the bar, so they should have caught the accident. Once I’ve recovered, I’ll investigate.”

At this point, there was a subtle change in Ye Mengyan’s expression.

Her smile turned awkward when confronted with my sharp gaze. She continued,

“Did you get a clear view of the plate number?”

“Yes, but I can’t remember it now. However, I wrote it down on a nearby sign. I’ll go find it when I’m better.”

“Oh, I see!”

Afterwards, Ye Mengyan stopped questioning.

But Gu Yuanzhou began to question me,

“Why did you go to Lovers’ Bar that night?”

I squinted at Gu Yuanzhou,

“That should be a question for you, shouldn’t it?”

“What do you mean?”

“Because you are the one who asked me to go!”

“What are you talking about?”

“Gu Yuanzhou, three days ago that night, did you lend your phone to anyone?”

I blurted out the question directly.

But the answer Gu Yuanzhou gave me was,

“I did not lend my phone to anyone.”

This answer angered me. If he hadn’t lent out his phone, he couldn’t have been unaware of why I went to Lovers’ Bar.

“That night, I went to Lovers’ Bar because I received a text message from you. What else do you think I was doing there in the middle of the night?”

Gu Yuanzhou denied it on the spot,

“This is impossible. That night, I was entertaining clients. I was too busy to text you. Besides, why would I ask you to go to a bar at such a late time?”

“Then, is there a possibility that your phone was taken by someone?”

As I asked this, Gu Yuanzhou instinctively turned his head to look at Ye Mengyan.

Ye Mengyan locked eyes with him for a dozen seconds or so.

For a moment, I saw that there was an emotional exchange in their eyes.

Just as Gu Yuanzhou was about to speak, Ye Mengyan preempted him.

“Xiaoyun, are you suggesting that President Gu wanted to harm you? That’s impossible! He has no reason to, he has no ill will towards you! If he wanted to harm you, he could simply fire you from the company, he wouldn’t go through these lengths. Be careful about what you say. If this gets out, people might think that Zhenyi Company’s president tried to murder a female subordinate, which could cause a stock market crash.”

Although her words seemed directed at me, in reality, she was reminding Gu Yuanzhou to keep his mouth shut.

When Gu Yuanzhou looked at me, he said, “We’ll discuss this matter when you return to the office. The most important thing at the moment is for you to get well. You don’t need to worry about work.”

“Hmm.”

At this moment, I no longer had the mood to talk.

Perhaps considering Yinuo was by my side, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say much more.

After staying for about ten minutes, he left.

When I saw Ye Mengyan leaving, I told Wenya,

“Keep an eye on Ye Mengyan for me, see where she goes.”

Yinuo stopped her, “Don’t go, I’ll find someone else. She recognizes you, it’s easy for her to see through.”

“That’ll work.”

Yinuo left to arrange it.

Wenya stayed with me, “Why didn’t you expose Gu Yuanzhou just now? It’s clearly his phone, how could he not know?”

“I think, I got an idea of who it might be. There are two possibilities, either he was kept in the dark and Ye Mengyan stole his phone without his knowing, or he was covering for Ye Mengyan.”

“Ayun, no matter the case, you must expose that woman, or she might be more vicious next time.”

Wenya’s words made sense. In fact, the moment I was hit by the motorcycle, I realized that Ye Mengyan wanted to kill me.

This time, even if it meant mutual destruction, I was determined to confront Gu Yuanzhou to the end.
