Chapter 145: 145: What’s the Next Step?_1
“Gu Yuanzhou treats you so well, how can you do this to him? You’re just like a venomous snake, a vile woman!”
“If he dies, you won’t have it easy!”
I knew it; the jig was finally up.
After hanging up the call, for a while, my mind felt numb.
Since even Ye Mengyan knew I poisoned him, it’s likely that the police would come to arrest me tomorrow morning.
“What’s wrong?”
Ding Yinuo noticed my mood changes.
“Erm, Gu Yuanzhou might be dying soon, and I might be going to jail…”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yinuo not only didn’t show any worry but even laughed, “You’re upset over this?”
“I’m going to be imprisoned, didn’t you get it?”
“You won’t go to jail!”
“Heh, an experience I missed in my last life, getting a taste of it after reincarnation, now that’s absurd.”
“Ayun, as I said, you won’t be going to jail!”
“If Gu Yuanzhou is dead, how could I not go to jail, yes, if not now, then tomorrow morning.”
“Ayun, calm down, do you think I’d set you up?”
“What are you saying?”
“Who told you he’s going to die? Don’t lose control!”
“But he drank the poisoned coffee, he’ll die.”
“Don’t worry, he won’t die!”
“Why?”
Watching my panicked state, Ding Yinuo opened the drawer and fetched a medicine bottle filled with Vitamin C.
In front of me, he crushed the pill at the bottom of the bottle and then wrapped the powder in a piece of white paper.
“What does this mean?”
“This is the drug I gave you!”
“You mean, you gave me vitamin powder?”
“Yes!”
Hearing this, I wanted to tear my hair out,
“Ding Yinuo, what are you up to? Don’t you realize this can scare someone to death?”
“You idiot, did you really think I’d let you poison Gu Yuanzhou? I simply wanted to see your determination. Good, you’re now willing to make a move on Gu Yuanzhou. This means you’re no longer holding onto any illusions about him!”
“Okay!”
Yes, even if Gu Yuanzhou really died, how would Ye Mengyan know I was the one who poisoned him?
Perhaps, she was just bluffing me. Otherwise, if she really had evidence of me poisoning, why wouldn’t she report me to the police?
“It’s okay, get some good rest and visit the company tomorrow!”
After a few more words with Ding Yinuo, I finally calmed down.
“You sleep on the bed, I’ll take the couch!”
Ding Yinuo opened the wardrobe, took out a blanket and lay on the couch.
That night, everything was peaceful.
The next morning.
When I woke up, Ding Yinuo was no longer on the couch.
The blanket on the couch had been neatly put away.
From outside the window, laughter drifted in. I walked over to the window and saw Jiang Jiaying, dressed in yoga pants, exercising in the morning sun.
The tight yoga pants accentuated her figure.
She must have just finished exercising, her face was still covered in sweat, and she was chatting with Ding Yinuo.
From Jiang Jiaying’s eyes, I saw how a woman admires a man.
She went over to Ding Yinuo with a towel, intending to wipe his sweat for him, but Ding Yinuo indifferently pushed her away.
It was clear that Ding Yinuo wasn’t particularly interested in her; he was even somewhat cold.
After getting ready, I was about to head out.
Ding Yinuo was waiting for me outside with his car ready.
“No need for you to drop me off!”
“Gu Yuanzhou has already fired you; you’re still going to the company. Have you thought of an excuse?”
“To settle my salary!”
“That’s a reasonable excuse! Let me drive you to the company!”
Ding Yinuo was persistent, so I had no choice but to get in the car.
After starting up the car, I looked back to see Jiang Jiaying standing by the door, smiling at me.
“That Miss Jiang seems pretty good, she seems to have matured a lot from her student days!”
Ding Yinuo responded absentmindedly,
“Really?”
“Seriously? You’ve forgotten? It hasn’t been that many years.”
“It’s not that I’ve forgotten, it’s that I never paid any attention.”
“Alright, you’re ruthless!”
Half an hour later, Ding Yinuo’s car stopped outside my company building.
I thought, since Gu Yuanzhou has fired me, there’s no need to keep up appearances, and I’m not worried about Dewey being seen anymore.
I walked into the building as soon as I stepped out of the car.
The receptionist at the front desk anxiously rushed over to grab my hand as soon as she saw me.
“Miss Song, is President Gu okay?”
Immediately, I had a bad feeling, “What happened to President Gu?”
Actually, ever since Ding Yinuo told me last night that what he gave to me was just vitamin powder, I knew President Gu was fine.
But the receptionist’s reaction was obviously different from what I had been thinking.
“Ah, Miss Song, you don’t know?”
“Yes, I’ve resigned, I came today to settle my wages. Maybe you can tell me what happened.”
“Ah, I also heard it from my colleagues. Yesterday, President Gu suddenly spat out fresh blood in the office. An ambulance came over. Some people said that President Gu was poisoned by something he drank!”
“That’s impossible!”
I was a bit flustered on the spot, and for a moment I couldn’t figure out what had happened.
Surprisingly, Ding Yinuo couldn’t wait and hurried in, directly asking the receptionist, “Which hospital did the ambulance take him to?”
“The Municipal Second Hospital, just up ahead!”
“Okay, thank you!”
Ding Yinuo quickly dragged me out again, got in the car, and took off down the road.
“I thought you said it was just vitamin powder? Why is he spitting blood?”
“I’m not sure, but I have a friend in the Municipal Second Hospital! Don’t worry, we’ll know the answer soon.”
“Ok!”
At this point, the situation had completely exceeded my expectations.
I had no idea what had happened.
At the entrance of the Municipal Second Hospital, Ding Yinuo patted my shoulder,
“I’ll go ask a friend for updates. See what his condition is! Sometimes it could be his existing illness, for example, severe gastritis could cause bleeding, don’t overthink it, I’ll be back shortly.”
“Okay, sure!”
Although I was anxious, I could only wait for the result now.
But not long after Ding Yinuo left, my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID, it was Gu Yuanzhou.
It wasn’t until the phone had rung six times that I finally picked up.
“Gu… Yuanzhou!”
After a long pause, I finally said his name.
On the other end of the phone, he was silent for a few seconds, “Have you settled your wages with the HR department yet?”
“Not yet… ”
We had left in such a hurry that I had no time to do it.
“Hmm, come over to the hospital. The Municipal Second Hospital, ward 609!”
“Do you need me to bring anything?”
“No need, just you coming is enough.”
I deliberately dragged the conversation with him, trying to glean some clues from his tone.
But his voice was very calm, emotionally stable, only a bit hoarse, indicating weakness.
I couldn’t figure out his intentions at the moment but had to go anyway.
