Song Ling gazed at the wound on his hand, feeling intensely frustrated.
Not only had Gu Dai failed to notice the injury, but she was also wearing the bracelet given by Su Ting.
Their intimate interaction made his own gift seem like a joke.
Song Ling felt even more like a fool for having rushed to prepare a gift after hearing his grandpa’s words.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, pounding his fist against the car seat in frustration.
Zhao Xuan, startled by the sound behind him, felt his heart skip a beat.
He now understood that Gu Dai probably, no, definitely did not appreciate Song Ling’s gift.
At the Capital Hospital.
Gu Zhi woke up at dawn.
Her hair disheveled, she lay on the hospital bed, her cheeks hollow and pale from repeated stomach washes, looking utterly exhausted.
She couldn’t understand why things had turned out this way.
The drug was supposed to be ingested by Gu Dai, leading to her death. However, the situation had unexpectedly turned, and now Gu Dai was affected by the drug’s toxicity.
Gu Zhi, unwilling to accept this turn of events, gave all her money to Zhou Gang, instructing him to deal with Gu Dai. Logically, by now, there should have been some outcome.
Gu Zhi’s gaze was intensely fixed on her phone, eagerly awaiting news.
Finally, the ringtone of her phone broke the silence.
Gu Zhi hurriedly answered, asking anxiously, “How did it go? Was it successful?”
Instead of a response, she heard the door open, and Zhou Gang walked in.
Struggling to sit up, Gu Zhi frowned, “Why are you here?”
Before Zhou Gang could reply, she hurriedly asked, “What happened to that wretched Gu Dai? Is she in the hospital now?”
Growing impatient with Zhou Gang’s silence, Gu Zhi snapped, “Are you mute? Why aren’t you… AHH!”
Zhou Gang suddenly pushed her off the bed, towering over her.
Gu Zhi, holding her sore back, incredulously asked, “Have you gone mad? Why did you push me?”
Zhou Gang kicked her several times, and after seeing her unable to fight back, he crouched down and slapped her face repeatedly.
Gu Zhi’s initial cries of surprise turned into silent pain, blood flowing from her eyes and nose to her ears. It seemed that any noise she made turned into pain.
Zhou Gang, who had acted swiftly in his attack, now had eyes reddened with fatigue. His voice was hoarse as he said, “You asked me to deal with Gu Dai, but you didn’t tell me how difficult she would be to handle. I ended up being caught because of it.”
Zhou Gang chuckled, “Miss Gu Dai said that as long as I teach you a lesson, she will let me off. Ha ha ha, now that I’ve beaten you like this, she certainly won’t hold it against me anymore!”
After glancing at the blood-red mess on the ground, Zhou Gang gave Gu Zhi another vicious kick, nodded in satisfaction, and left.
When the nurse came to change the dressings, she was terrified by the scene in the hospital room, which looked like the site of a brutal murder.
After freshening up, Gu Dai came downstairs and saw Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi excitedly chatting in the living room.
Upon seeing Gu Dai, Meng Zhi hurried over and exclaimed, “Daidai, you must see the news. Zhou Gang has been arrested and put in jail.”
Gu Dai raised her eyebrows and looked at her phone.
The news reported that Zhou Gang was sentenced to over four years in prison for assaulting a woman in the hospital, causing severe injuries.
Gu Dai recognized Gu Zhi at a glance, who was wrapped like a mummy, only her nose and eyes visible.
Meng Chuan nodded approvingly, smiling, “Zhou Gang did a surprisingly good job, beyond my expectations.”
Meng Zhi also chimed in, “Beyond mine as well! But Daidai, you promised Zhou Gang yesterday that he wouldn’t break the law, yet now he’s in prison…”
Meng Chuan patted Meng Zhi’s shoulder resignedly, “But Daidai didn’t ask
Zhou Gang to do it this way, and what he did deserves prison time.”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi noticed Gu Dai’s silence and looked at her curiously, only to see her gazing down at her phone.
Puzzled, Meng Chuan asked, “Daidai, what are you looking at?”
Gu Dai replied, “Looking at the news about me.”
The two, baffled, took out their phones, and upon seeing the video, they trembled with anger.
Meng Zhi comforted, “Daidai, don’t be sad. All this is in the past.”
Meng Chuan declared, “I’ll find out right now who released these videos!”
