Lin Yu was alone, but he was tall and very eye-catching in a group of people.
Their gazes met. Gu Chu smiled and waved her hand. He walked over. “Did you wait for a long time?”
“No,” Gu Chu replied. “I timed it well. I just arrived. I reserved a table at a restaurant to welcome you.”
Lin Yu looked at his watch. “It’s still early for dinner. I want to go to the clubhouse first.”
Gu Chu was stunned. “Why?”
Lin Yu pretended to be mysterious. “I wanted to give you a surprise.”
They went to the clubhouse. On the way, Lin Yu told her everything that happened in the capital.
While they were happily chatting, Gu Wan could not sit still.
She did not go to the office today. She lied to her parents and said that she was not feeling well.
They thought that she was still sad about what happened yesterday, so they comforted her, “Then you should rest at home for a few days. Your leg hasn’t recovered yet, and we don’t want you running around. Why don’t we ask the family doctor to take a look at you?”
Gu Wan felt uneasy and said, “I’m fine. I just need to rest for a while.”
They did not say anything else and watched her walk up the stairs with her crutch.
After closing the door, Gu Wan paced around the room. Although she had lost to Gu Chu yesterday, she did not panic at all. As long as her parents were on her side, she still had a chance to fight her way back.
What really made her anxious was Feng Jia’s words.
What Feng Jia asked her to pass on to her father shocked her.
Did Shen Shan already say that someone ordered him to attack Gu Chu? Was that true? Did he give up her name?
Gu Wan’s hand trembled as she picked up the glass of water to drink. In fact, she did not order Shen Shan to do that, not at all.
That day, when she returned from the resort, she received a text message from Shen Shan in the car. He said that he had been released after serving his sentence. He had gotten her current contact information from her former neighbor, so he contacted her and wanted to meet her.
At that time, she realized that it had been ten years since that incident.
After that, they texted each other every day. She told him all the feelings that she could not reveal to others.
She said that she was having a hard time at her new home. Her sister did not like her and always bullied her. She blamed her for coming back to take away the love that her parents had for her.
She just wanted to vent her emotions. She just wanted someone to complain about Gu Chu with her. She did not expect Shen Shan to be so impulsive. He went all the way from the capital to Haicheng City and even attacked Gu Chu.
From the moment he was arrested at the police station, she had been worried that he would expose her. After so many days, everything had been peaceful. She thought that everything was fine.
However, she had not expected Shen Shan to say that he had been instructed by someone…
Was he afraid of going to jail again, so he had pushed all the blame onto her?
That must be the case!
How could he disregard his own safety to protect her?
Gu Wan stood up abruptly and opened the wardrobe. She picked out the most inconspicuous piece of clothing from the pile of clothes. Then, she put on her hat and went downstairs with her crutches.
Mrs. Gu interrupted her in the living room. She said to her, “Mom, I’m meeting a friend for dinner.”
“Ah? Which friend? Why don’t you invite them over for dinner?” Mrs. Gu said with concern, “It’s hard for you to walk around.”
“It’s okay.” If it were any other time, she would still be in the mood to deal with it, but today, she was not in the mood at all.
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu only thought that she was in a bad mood, so she did not pursue the matter further.
Gu Wan limped out of the door. The driver opened the car door and helped her into the car. She said directly, “Send me to the police station.”
The driver was stunned. He thought she was going to a Japanese restaurant.
Gu Wan threatened him, “Go to the police station. And don’t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, you can forget about keeping your job.”
The driver quickly replied, “Yes.”
Gu Wan went to the police station and found the police officer in charge of the case. She asked gently, “My father asked me to ask about my sister’s case. Is there any new progress in the assault case?”
The police officer said, “The case is still under investigation. We can’t reveal the details.”
“We’re victims. Can’t you tell us?” She pursed her lips. “Then can I see the bastard who attacked my sister?”
“Well…” the policeman said awkwardly, “I’m afraid not.”
Gu Wan was stunned for a moment, then she said, “What am I going to say to my father when I go back?”
The policeman said helplessly, “Then I’ll ask for permission.”
Gu Wan smiled. “Okay.”
