1197 For Kinship, For Justice 4

Mu Yuchen did not think too much. When the doctor left, he walked to Zhou Zimo's bed.

It had already been quite a few days. Zu Zimo laid there and looked frailer now, and Xu Yayan was very worried to see this.

As he watched Zhou Zimo lay on the bed with his eyes tightly shut, Xu Yayan said softly, "Master Mu, I think our Master Mo must have gotten ahold of some kind of information. Otherwise, he would not have said the things he did before he collapsed."

When Xu Yayan shared that with him, Mu Yuchen looked up at him. "What did he say?"

"He said that he doesn't think he could handle it this time and that we needed you to quickly come over..." Xu Yayan responded softly.

Stunned, Mu Yuchen he did not say anything more afterward.

When Xu Yayan and Li Si saw his reaction, they exchanged a glance and then retreated too.

...

Zhou Zimo did not know how long he had been asleep. He felt like he had suffered a century's worth of dark coldness. Just as all of his rationality was about to be swallowed by the darkness, his heart skipped a beat and his rationality was pulled back.

He opened his eyes wearily and everything was blurry. After a while, his eyes returned to clear. He subconsciously looked around and realized that he was in the hospital. Suddenly, all the scenes from before flashed in his mind, so he frowned and was about to prop himself up, yet just as he moved, he felt pain radiating from his left hand.

When he turned to look, he saw that his left hand was fastened and he felt like something was holding his right hand back as well. Upon looking over, he noticed a white figure standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

Who else could it be if not Mu Yuchen?

"Chen! Why are you here?" Zhou Zimo's dry and raspy voice was heard.

"You're awake?" Mu Yuchen quickly snapped back to his senses when he saw that Zhou Zimo had woken up. He felt at ease.

Because Zhou Zimo was still very weak, Mu Yuchen walked over and helped him sit up. He pressed the button by the bedhead to call the doctor over.

"It's good that you're awake now."

Zhou Zimo saw the look of concern on Mu Yuchen's face, but before he could say anything, Mu Yuchen poured him a cup of water and handed it to him. His lowered voice was very hoarse. "I knew that something happened to you here, so I rushed over. Luckily, you're fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Elder Zhou and the rest."

"I got lucky this time. I didn't think this would happen too," Zhou Zimo said weakly as he accepted the glass of water that Mu Yuchen handed him and took a sip, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"Many days now. It's the tenth today. You did wake up once in between. The doctor said you had a concussion and needed rest, so you should be recuperating well. Leave the rest to me."

Towards the end, Mu Yuchen even coughed lightly. When Zhou Zimo recalled what happened, he felt a shooting headache. It hurt so much that his hand shook and he dropped the cup. He felt like he was going to faint again.

"Zimo!" Mu Yuchen's expression changed and he quickly held him before he fell. "Okay, don't think about it anymore. This matter can still be suppressed for now. You should rest well. I won't let you be jailed. Of course, I'll also make the person who did this pay for it! I'm afraid that this incident isn't just targeting you."

"But, Chen, I suddenly think that maybe you shouldn't have come, especially if those people weren't just coming for me alone," Zhou Zimo protested weakly. He did not seem to have even the energy to speak.

"Since I'm here already, don't say all this now. You and Su Chen are my buddies for life. There's no way I would leave you to fend for yourself. Otherwise, why would I go through all the trouble? The Zhou family still doesn't know about what happened here. If you still hadn't woken up, I would have a hard time holding things up."

Mu Yuchen was telling the truth. If Zhou Zimo still had not woken up and the Zhou family asked about him, he would not know how to explain it to them. However, now that he was awake, if he still could not get the evidence to clear Zhou Zimo's name, Zhou Zimo would definitely be arrested.

When Zhou Zimo heard that, he felt touched. As he was being embraced like that, he could clearly feel the warmth from his friend.

Mu Yuchen helped him lie down, then continued, "Recuperate first. Leave the rest to me. Don't think too much. When you've rested enough, you can tell me what happened."

As he finished, the doctor entered through the door...

...

Today was fated to be a big day.

Mu Lingshi did not forget that it was the day that Gu Qiwu and Doris were going to court for their divorce. She did not pay much attention to it, but she recalled Gu Qiwu sounding quite confident in winning.

Their session began at 9 a.m. The reporters knew about this and were long stationed outside the courthouse early in the morning. They were all like hungry sharks waiting to get firsthand news.

Xi Xiaye did not pay attention to this either. It was only when her assistant, Xiao Mei, came in with the tea that she could not help but mention it. Zhuang Shurong seemed to have mentioned it once too.

Subconsciously, she did not know who she wanted to win either but based on Mu Yuchen's worries from before, she was hoping that Gu Qiwu and Doris would continue to go against each other because Detective Zhang had not gotten back with any news. She called Detective Zhang, but his phone was still switched off.

Xi Xiaye obviously knew Detective Zhang's rules. When he was investigating, if he was not free, he did not like others bothering him. Therefore, Xi Xiaye could only quietly and helplessly wait for the news.

Time passed by so quickly. Xi Xiaye had spent the entire morning in her office working through documents. When she was done with them and was about to get up, Xiao Mei suddenly knocked and entered.

"CEO Xi, Miss Mu is here. She's right outside."

Miss Mu?

Who else could it be if not Lingshi?

Xi Xiaye thought about it for a while, and quickly recalled that Gu Qiwu and Doris were in court today, so she hastily asked, "How's it going on Gu Qiwu and Doris's end? The result should be out about now, shouldn't it?"

It was already past noon, so there should be an outcome by now.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Mei smiled and responded, "CEO Xi, I just found out about the outcome. The news is reporting all about it. The court seemed to have overruled Doris's request. They declared the divorce. Mr. Gu only needs to pay Doris a small compensation fee as damage."

"Does that mean that the person who won the divorce was Gu Qiwu?" Xi Xiaye asked, her eyes widened.
