Chapter 146: 146 He is Testing Me _1
So I went straight over.
Pushing open the door to the ward, Gu Yuanzhou lay in bed, looking somewhat pale.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
At this moment, I was still wondering, was Gu Yuanzhou lying to me? What kind of mind game was he playing?
He glanced at me and spoke softly:
“Close the door!”
I nodded, turned and walked to the door, closing it behind me.
I then slowly approached him,
“President Gu!”
He waved his hand, pointing to the chair upfront,
“Move a chair over here and sit.”
I didn’t understand his intention, but still did as he asked.
Moving a chair to sit beside his bed, the table was empty, devoid of flowers or fruit baskets. It seemed like he hadn’t publicized his injury, hence, there weren’t many visitors.
“You really shocked me!”
He slowly turned towards me, even though he appeared slightly unwell, his eyes were as sharp as ever.
“President Gu… what do you mean?”
My heart was in turmoil, but I remained calm.
I knew one thing very clearly: unless solid evidence was presented before me, even if the police came to arrest me with handcuffs, I couldn’t confess.
“As long as you confess honestly, sincerely regret it, and promise not to make the same mistake, I’ll forgive you once!”
His tone was rather gentle, as if he would forgive me as long as I told the truth.
But I rejected him.
“President Gu, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Gu Yuanzhou patiently continued,
“You were misled by Ding Yinuo and committed actions against your will. I can understand that. As I’ve said before, as long as you confess, I won’t hold you responsible.”
“President Gu, could you please be clearer?”
“I was poisoned last night, I believe you should know that. Did you poison my food or drink?”
Gu Yuanzhou was gradually losing patience and directly asked.
I fell silent.
Gu Yuanzhou began to lose his temper,
“My late wife had a personal feud with Ding Yinuo. This hatred has extended to both of our companies. Now that my wife is gone, he probably took this opportunity to try and kill me. What I’m trying to say is, no matter how good Ding Yinuo treats you, or the promises he makes to you, he is using you. Using you to get revenge on me. If you follow his arrangements, your life will be ruined.”
I remained calm.
After this encounter with Gu Yuanzhou, I could roughly guess a few things.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t have any evidence. Otherwise, he would’ve reported to the police already.
He had a lot of meals throughout the day and had probably done all the investigations he could.
And the only thing I had given him was a cup of coffee.
Moreover, I boldly hypothesized that he possibly hadn’t found any clues in the coffee I gave him.
Then it became more and more certain.
“President Gu’s words are chilling. Clearly, President Gu doesn’t trust me. Since you don’t trust me, why not hand me over to the police? I believe the police will provide President Gu with a satisfactory answer.”
Upon hearing these words, Gu Yuanzhou stared at me for a long time before he slowly spoke, “I’ve asked HR to cancel your resignation. Until I’ve recovered, you’ll stay in the hospital to take care of me.”
“Fine!”
Like always, Gu Yuanzhou was devious. It seems until he finds the real culprit, he won’t let me go.
Of course, I also wanted to figure out who had really poisoned Gu Yuanzhou.
Afterwards, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t ask me about it again, he just had me read out some unfinished company files from the past few days.
One hour later, I made an excuse and left.
When I walked out of the ward, I bumped into Ye Mengyan who was walking towards me.
In Ye Mengyan’s hand were fresh fruits and nutritional supplements.
What surprised me was that she was calm when she saw me, unlike the anger she displayed during our phone call.
She gave me a slight smile and walked into the ward.
Instead of leaving, I silently leaned against the wall to eavesdrop.
“Big brother Gu, I made this congee for you. The doctor says you can only have soft food, you can’t eat anything solid. I cooked it for four hours, even the meat is softened.
“Big brother Gu, did she confess?”
Gu Yuanzhou replied faintly, “It’s not her.”
“Big brother Gu, it must be her. I saw her with Ding Yinuo a long time ago, living in Xishan Residence and often going to Tianjiao Company. Anyhow, keep her away from you. It’s too dangerous.”
“Alright, I’ll handle this matter myself later. Don’t interfere.”
“Okay,”
I wanted to hear more. However, at the end of the corridor, I saw the figure of Ding Yinuo stepping out of the elevator, waving at me.
I had to leave the room quickly.
Ding Yinuo immediately took my hand and led me into the elevator, his voice filled with anxious concern.
“Why didn’t you answer your phone after I called so many times?”
“Uh, I put my phone on silent. I went to see Gu Yuanzhou, and it was inconvenient to take your calls.”
“Didn’t I ask you to wait at the hospital entrance?”
Ding Yinuo looked quite anxious, as if I was some underage lost girl.
“Gu Yuanzhou called me.”
“What did he say to you?”
“What else could he say, just asking me why I poisoned him!”
“Did you admit it?”
“Of course not… didn’t you say that the thing was just a vitamin? Since it’s a vitamin, I didn’t poison him, why should I take the blame?”
Ding Yinuo immediately gave me a thumbs up,
“You’re smart, not being cheated.”
“So, did you find anything?”
Just then, the elevator door opened. Ding Yinuo didn’t respond.
At this moment, we ran into one of his classmates, who was dressed in a white coat and according to his ID badge, he was a chief physician.
“Hey, you were chasing me around to check the medical records just for this pretty lady?”
“Yes, I’ll treat you to dinner later!”
“This lady is pretty beautiful. Introduce us, what’s her name?”
“Mind your own business, she’s my girlfriend. Don’t think about it!”
The classmate laughed, making me feel awkward.
Ding Yinuo kept holding my hand as we left the hospital.
“Wow, you have many friends!”
“I studied medicine, so all, or at least ninety percent of my classmates, are doctors!”
“Oh, that’s good. You still haven’t answered my question.”
After getting in the car, and making sure no one was around, Ding Yinuo said to me,
“It’s strange, but Gu Yuanzhou really was poisoned.”
“What?”
“I’ve checked the hospital’s backend medical record. He was indeed vomiting blood when he was brought in last night, he was poisoned and had his stomach pumped.”
