Chapter 338 - 338: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
After everyone had left, Shu Pan slowly regained a bit of consciousness. She used her hands to adjust the suit jacket, attempting to cover the exposed skin.
“It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’m here.” The voice was the familiar, crisp tone that could bring her comfort.
Wrapped in Gu Shaoting’s suit jacket, emitting his usual light and pleasant fragrance, it truly was him…
No one knew the shock she felt when she heard him call her “Panpan.”
In that moment, she suddenly felt that everything before didn’t matter. He was like a hero, rescuing her in the darkest hour.
Shu Pan nodded, then huddled her body, leaning against him, and softly started to cry.
The sound was low but intermittent, and Gu Shaoting’s heart squeezed at the sound, feeling a dull pain in his chest.
After a while, he pulled her away from his embrace, her face now covered in tears, with visible imprints of slaps on her cheeks.
These people deserved to die; he would make them pay dearly for hurting her.
There seemed to be a burning fire in Gu Shaoting’s eyes as he stared at her swollen face. His heart felt like it was being pricked with needles.
Seeing her tears falling like broken beads, Gu Shaoting silently vowed that these individuals would pay a painful price.
After adjusting his emotions, Gu Shaoting helped Shu Pan out. They still needed to go to the police station to provide statements.
Before leaving, Gu Shaoting also remembered to pick up the camera, taking out the memory card and placing it in a bag.
At the police station, the individuals were taken to a small, chilly room after finishing their statements.
Gu Shaoting accompanied Shu Pan, and there were several interruptions during the recording because Shu Pan kept breaking down, recalling the humiliating scene.
Unable to do anything else, Gu Shaoting could only hold her tightly in his arms.
“Chief Chen, why are you here?” The respectful and alarmed voice of the guards
reached Gu Shaoting’s ears.
“Mr. Gu, I’m really sorry. How is Miss Shu now?” Chief Chen asked with concern. He had just found out about this influential figure being here.
Mr. Gu had considerable prestige in Bin City and had a say in both the legal and illegal spheres, so he couldn’t be offended.
Now he realized he was late, and his forehead started to sweat.
“Chief Chen, I believe in the fairness of the law. The bad guys should receive the punishment they deserve. I hope you will handle this impartially.” Gu Shaoting’s tone was indifferent, but the meaning was obvious.
“Absolutely, it’s our fault for not handling things properly. Please forgive us.” The middle-aged man apologized respectfully.
Afterwards, he turned and instructed, “Thoroughly interrogate the individuals inside.”
The guard nodded, “Understood.”
Chief Chen looked at Gu Shaoting in his hand-cut suit. Even though he wore the suit jacket over Miss Shu, revealing only a white high-quality shirt, he didn’t lose his handsome image.
With his usual polite smile on his face, there was an inscrutable gleam in his eyes that sent a chill down one’s spine.
Gu Shaoting nodded and said nothing to the man referred to as Chief Chen. He nervously supported Shu Pan and slowly walked out.
The man saw them finish recording their statements and leaving, quickly escorting them to the door.
Knowing the car was far away, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he walked indignantly into the room where those individuals were being held, intending to conduct a deeper interrogation; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain to Mr. Gu..
