Chapter 563: Saving Life is All Acting
Although Ren Xiya's words were heartbreaking, they made sense.
But Lin Zhiyi just couldn't swallow this.
"I'm going to take this surveillance video to the police station and ask for a reinvestigation!"
Unexpectedly, Gong Chen reached out to stop her.
"Didn't you listen to Mrs. Bai? Bai Ruoshu has been at Gong's these days."
"So what?" Lin Zhiyi asked back.
"She even knew that the front desk could prepare desserts, which means she was already familiar with the layout of the lounge area. How could she not know how many surveillance cameras there were in the lounge area?"
Gong Chen pointed at the surveillance video of Bai Ruoshu walking back and forth.
Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly.
"She deliberately let the surveillance camera record these words. It seems unintentional, but it was intentional."
"Yes." Gong Chen said calmly, "You went to the police station to hand over the surveillance footage, which just proves her innocence."
After listening to this, Lin Zhiyi was somewhat impressed by Bai Ruoshu's reaction ability.
But when I think about it carefully, there are many doubts.
"The Third Master went upstairs through a special passage and did not go through the hall. But when she saw us coming downstairs, she was not surprised at all. It shows that she has known that the Third Master is still alive."
Ren Xiya added: "She has been fidgeting since she read the text message. This text message is very suspicious. Could it be that someone tipped off? Who else in Beijing has such great power?"
"Bai Zhengxian."
Gong Chen said the name without hesitation.
Bai Ruoshu's father.
The only person here who has dealt with Bai Zhengxian is Gong Shiyan.
In the early years, when the eldest brother Gong Shize was alive, Gong Shiyan accompanied him and Bai Zhengxian to social events several times.
"Bai Zhengxian is very low-key. He goes abroad as soon as he says he will, without alerting anyone, and cleans up his domestic industries."
“Even though we came back to discuss cooperation this time, we didn’t send anyone back to discuss our intentions first.”
"My brother has worked with him several times, and although it went smoothly, every time he mentions him, he says he is very secretive. To put it bluntly, he is very cunning."
But how many businessmen are simple-minded?
Later, the Bai family went abroad and never mentioned it again.
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but think of the encounter she had with Bai Zhengxian at the charity dinner.
He looked at himself and was smiling all the time.
It's hard to describe that smile.
Lin Zhiyi even specially recalled his past life for this purpose.
The result was the same as Gong Yao's, no impression at all.
Perhaps these two people appeared after her death.
Or maybe she has changed too much in her life and many things have happened ahead of time.
Unknown dangers are often the most terrifying, which keeps her on edge.
While thinking, Lin Zhiyi's hands felt warm.
Only then did she realize that Gong Chen had been standing beside her, holding her hand tightly.
She raised her eyes slightly and met his reassuring gaze.
In an instant, all the anxiety disappeared, leaving only my heart beating wildly in my chest.
Gong Chen turned his head and spoke slowly without any emotion in his eyes.
"Bai Ruoshu's injury this time was not only to draw a line between herself and Gong Yao, but also more to show goodwill. The Bai family has a new cruise ship and wants to cooperate with the dock under the Gong family."
Sang Li continued the conversation and analyzed, "Gong's family has the best dock in Beijing. The Bai family cruise ship wants to use this as a starting point. It seems that the target customers are the dignitaries in Beijing. They are planning to ask the Gong family for protection."
On the surface, it seems to be a win-win situation.
The Bai family provides the venue to earn hard-earned money, and the Gong family only needs to provide shelter to win over the powerful.
But Gong Chen knew very well that cooperation was to gain greater benefits, not to make concessions.
Bai Zhengxian is not that stupid after having come this far.
He glanced at Lin Zhiyi and said in a cold voice, "If we don't do anything, someone will be more anxious than us."
For example, Bai Ruoshu, who almost lost her hand.
Lin Zhiyi nodded.
But she still had to find time to go to Bai Ruoshu and do her a favor.
Just as she was thinking about what to do, a young nurse who was unfamiliar to her came in by knocking on the door.
Everyone thought they came for Zhou Zhao, but unexpectedly the young nurse walked up to Gong Shiyan.
"Second Master, excuse me, Wen Qing has woken up and wants to see you. The guard asked me to ask you what you think."
The young nurse was kind and spoke up for Wen Qing from the perspective of doctor and patient.
"Her burns were very severe, especially her limbs, which were severely infected. The doctor said that amputation was the only way to save her life."
When they heard about amputation, everyone frowned and looked at Gong Shiyan at the same time.
Gong Shiyan's expression was calm and he finally sighed.
"Sorry, I have something else to do and it's not convenient for me to come over."
The young nurse wanted to say something, but Lin Zhiyi stood up.
"I go."
"What are you going to do? Give her a ride?" Li Huan joked.
"I won't dirty my hands. I'll just go and provoke her. Doesn't she love provoking people the most?"
Lin Zhiyi has not forgotten that Wen Qing instigated Sang Ran to scare Xingxing into having an illness.
She almost lost her star.
In the past, just the memories made her want to strangle Wen Qing to death.
But now she felt that Gong Chen was right and there was no need to dirty her hands.
After the amputation, Wen Qing's "good days" are still ahead.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Zhou Zhao on the bed, then at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen whispered, "Go ahead. Zhou Zhao's anesthetic hasn't worn off yet. He won't wake up for a while."
"Ah."
Lin Zhiyi turned around and followed the nurse out of the ward.
The door was closed.
Ren Xiya put away her computer and walked hesitantly to Gong Chen.
"I met the housekeeper when I came up. He said that the old man was really dizzy when he came to the hospital. He asked us to go to the bedside to take a look? Lin Zhiyi was here just now, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for you, so I waited until she left before speaking."
"Anyway, I won't go. He's annoyed by me, and I'm even more annoyed by him."
she added.
Gong Chen's eyes turned cold, and a layer of frost quickly formed under his eyes.
"Busy. Busy cleaning up the mess."
Ren Xiya looked at Gong Shiyan again.
"I won't go and cause trouble. Xiao He is still pregnant, and I have to pick her up. I'm leaving first."
Gong Shiyan is middle-aged and has aged quite quickly.
Ren Xiya turned around in a cool manner and said, "I'm going back to the hotel to adjust to the jet lag. See you later."
Just then, the doctor came to check Zhou Zhao's postoperative condition.
Everyone left the ward together.
Gong Chen stood by the window and could just see the VIP hospital building.
Mr. Gong is right there.
At this time, Sang Li handed him a cigarette.
Gong Chen declined: "I've quit."
Sang Li hummed, took it back, put it to his lips and lit it.
In the smoke, he lowered his eyes and asked, "Don't you want to go and take a look?"
"No, there's no need." Gong Chen said indifferently.
"What do you think about Bai Ruoshu's matter?" Sang Li flicked the ash off his cigarette.
"Bai Ruoshu does have brains, but it's impossible for her to come up with a solution so quickly."
"Bai Zhengxian." Sang Li said meaningfully.
Gong Chen's expression, which had been calm, suddenly became a little sinister.
When he raised his eyes, he said coldly: "More than that."
Sang Li was silent, knowing that Bai Ruoshu's rescue of Lin Zhiyi was not over yet.
There was a peculiar smell of smoke in the air.
Gong Chen glanced at the cigarette between Sang Li’s fingers.
"You're smoking so hard? Did something happen to you? Or did you meet someone?"
"No."
Sang Li quickly put out his cigarette, trying to cover up his crime.
……
Ward.
When Lin Zhiyi opened the door, a particularly unpleasant smell rushed out and her stomach churned.
I thought I had committed self-immolation in my previous life, so I was mentally prepared.
But when she saw the warmth on the hospital bed, she was still shocked.
"Shi Yan...Shi Yan...save me."
A hoarse voice came intermittently.
