It was already two o'clock in the morning when they got home.
Jade and Frank were still waiting in the living room, while Richard and Angela were also waiting for
them.
Seeing them enter the room, Jade stood up first. She walked to Simon in a hurry and shouted at the
two men who were escorting him, "Now that you're back, you should let go of him, shouldn't you?"
But the two men ignored her and didn't look at her. They held Simon's hand tightly.
"You..." Jade was angry, but she could do nothing about it. She looked at Simon sympathetically, and
then turned to Eric. Her tone was softer. "Eric, your uncle is also injured, and now it has been identified.
Let them go."
Eric cast a sidelong glance at her and sneered, "Do you think you can finish it just by a paternity test?"
"I..." Jade was speechless. It was a matter of life and death, so they wouldn't just let it go. "But… Even
prisoners have the right to rest. You can't let them take uncle away like this the whole night, can you?"
Looking away from her, Eric looked at the two men who were escorting Simon and ordered, "Take him
to the room upstairs. You take turns to watch him tonight. If I can't see him tomorrow, you… Just wait
and be punished by my brother."
"Yes, sir!" The two men answered at the same time, sonorous and powerful.
"Eric!" Jade was anxious, "How can you do this? Your uncle hasn't eaten yet and his wounds haven't
been treated yet!"
Eric scolded, "Why didn't he think that as long as he killed grandpa, grandpa wouldn't die and the Gu
family wouldn't have such a thing? He didn't eat or apply medicine. How could he die soon?"
"You, Eric, you..."
Eric interrupted Jade, "If he dies, I will buy him a good coffin and bury him deeply!"
Jade was too shocked to speak.
Looking away from her coldly, Eric looked at the two people and said, "Take him upstairs."
"Yes, sir!"
Simon was taken upstairs by the two men, but Jade could do nothing about it. Besides, Frank didn't
say a word, either.
Angela walked up to Eric and said, "It's late now. Go to bed."
"Okay." Eric nodded and then turned to look at Richard, "Dad, I'll take the legal examiner to the hospital
tomorrow to check grandpa's corpse and make a more specific corpse examination report. Tomorrow
you'll go to the company and arrange the company's affairs. The bidding of the government is about to
start these days."
Richard nodded, "I know… Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not a big deal. I'm going to bed. Good night."
"Okay."
Eric took Lily's hand and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Jade and Frank with frightening eyes.
They were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at each other. They had never seen Eric like this
before… It was really a little shocking. It turned out that he knew everything, but he hid himself too
deeply before that no one could notice the real him.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Eric had breakfast. Before he went to find William, he asked Lily to call
Jack and ask him to bring Simon to the police station.
He just worried that he would run away. People like Simon would really run away if they were not
careful enough. Therefore, it was the best choice to send him to the police station in advance.
Jack arrived at the Gu mansion at half past nine and brought two policemen here.
"Uncle." Seeing him coming, Lily greeted him politely, "Thank you for helping me this time."
She had made it clear to Jack on the phone.
Taking a look at Lily, Jack smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It's our duty to catch the criminals, but..."
Speaking of this, he took a look at Simon, who was being escorted left and right, the wounds on his
face and the mess on his body. "I didn't expect such a thing to happen to the Gu family."
A tinge of embarrassment flashed across Lily's face. Last time, something happened to the Qiao family,
and asked him to take Lucia away. This time, it was Simon again.
"Every family will have something unexpected." She said.
Jack didn't answer, but asked two policemen behind him to bring Simon here.
Everyone in the Gu family was present, but no one stopped them. Jade and Frank could do nothing but
watch Simon being taken away. After all, he had done such an unforgivable thing. It was natural for the
police to take him away.
Angela and Richard didn't say anything, just watching quietly.
Eric walked up to Jack and said sincerely, "Thank you. I'll submit the evidence to you in two days.
Thank you for your help then."
"Okay." Jack nodded, "When the evidence is sufficient, we will go to court. Don't worry. The law is the
most fair and won't let go of anyone who commits a crime."
After saying a few words, Jack left with the two policemen escorting Simon.
At this moment, Eric felt a little better than before. He turned to Lily and said, "I'm going to find William.
You..."
"I'll go with you." Lily answered, "I'm going to see grandpa."
Eric looked at her worriedly, "That's the morgue of the hospital. It's gloomy. Aren't you afraid?"
Lily smiled and held his hand. She raised her head and said, "I'm not afraid of you."
The smile warmed Eric's heart. He said, "Okay, I'll take you with me."
Lily nodded with a smile.
Eric turned to look at his father and said, "Dad, I'll go out with Lily. You'll take care of the company."
"Okay." Richard nodded, "Don't worry. I will handle the company's affairs."
After Eric and Lily left, Richard looked at Angela next to him, held her hand and sighed, "I'll leave my
family affairs to you. You'll be busy for a while."
"Nothing." Angela held his hand back and said, "You deal with the company's affairs well, and my son
is busy with father's affairs. The family affairs naturally belong to me, and I will deal with them well."
A relieved smile appeared on Richard's face. "Thank you, Angela."
"As a couple, you don't have to thank me. Go ahead with your work."
"Okay." With Angela in his arms, Richard turned around and left.
At this moment, there were only three people left in the living room. Angela, Jade and Frank fell into
silence.
However, Angela didn't have much time to pay attention to the mother and son. Although Wayne's
death had nothing to do with them, these two people were not good people before and they seldom
talked. Therefore, after taking a look at them, she turned around and left.
When Eric took Lily to the hospital, William also arrived. He drove here by himself and had an
appointment with Eric. However, he came alone, not Harry.
When she entered the hospital, she still found the two people yesterday. After explaining the situation,
she went to the morgue.
Just as Eric said, the morgue was full of gloom. Lily followed him closely and held his hand
unconsciously. It was the first time she had entered the morgue in her two lives.
There was no extra procedure. The two skillfully carried out Wayne's corpse, put it on the mobile rack
in the middle of the morgue, turned on the light and stood aside.
As a forensic expert, with a mask and white gloves, William quickly examined the corpse carefully. The
evidence was found, and what he needed was details, which he had to write down in the corpse
examination report in detail.
Eric looked at them quietly. His face was not very good, and his black eyes were full of sadness.
So did Lily. She looked at Wayne under the light with red eyes. His face was as pale as a piece of
paper and his eyes were closed tightly.
"I didn't expect grandpa to be like this for the last time." She said in a low voice.
Eric turned his head and held her hand more tightly. "The last time I saw grandpa, it was almost the
same, but not in the morgue."
Thinking of this, the anger in her heart rose again. "If it weren't for the law, I would have kicked Simon
to death."
"I understand your feelings." Lily comforted her.
The two whispered to each other. William was not affected at all. He wrote down the details he saw
with a serious attitude.
Half an hour later, after the autopsy, he packed up his notes and walked to Eric. "Well, you can leave
now."
"Okay." Eric nodded and looked at Wayne's corpse for a while. He sighed slightly and turned around,
holding Lily's hand. "Let's go."
Lily also took a look at the corpse of Wayne reluctantly. Then she left with Eric, and William walked
behind the two.
Walking out of the morgue and standing in front of the hospital building, William took off his gloves and
mask and looked at Eric in the sunshine. "Harry said that you were in a hurry to need this autopsy
report. I will write it out this afternoon."
"Okay, thank you, William." Eric said sincerely.
"I have known Harry for many years. He asked me to help him. I have to. Well, you go ahead with your
work. I'll go back to report now."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
After saying goodbye, Eric held Lily's hand and watched him drive away.
After watching the car drive away, Lily turned her head to look at Eric and said, "William is a good man,
very loyal."
Eric nodded in agreement, "Yes, let's go back."
"Okay."
The two got in the car and drove towards the Gu family.
