Hearing a loud bang, Gu Meng looked up at Gu Jiao, who had fallen to the ground.
Gu Meng frowned and her thoughts suddenly froze.
What was Gu Jiao doing again?
She was full of energy, so why had she fallen to the ground?
When she was young, Gu Jiao would always pretend to have a headache or fall down and accuse her in front of Mrs Gu. Every time that happened, Mrs Gu did not ask about the truth, and simply hit her ruthlessly. After so many times, Gu Meng no longer believed in Gu Jiao!
Was she trying to frame her again by falling on the ground?
Gu Jiao let out a hoarse cry of pain. “Save me…”
Gu Meng realized that something was wrong and hurried forward. Seeing Gu Jiao’s pale face and dark purple lips, her pupils constricted. “What’s wrong?”
Not daring to waste another second, Gu Meng ran to the door and shouted, “Doctor, nurse, come over!”
Gu Jiao looked at Gu Meng, who was shouting at the door. A metallic taste filled her throat and blood slowly flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
Gu Meng looked down at Gu Jiao. Seeing blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, she squatted down. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Jiao’s organs started to hurt, as if an invisible black hand had torn her flesh apart. She knew that her life had come to an end, but she was reluctant…
She raised her trembling fingers and pointed at Gu Meng’s nose. “It’s you. You’re the one who wanted to kill me. You vicious woman…”
Gu Jiao’s expression was twisted and ferocious.
“You ungrateful brat…” Her nose also started to bleed.
She looked like a malicious ghost that wanted to kill her.
Gu Meng’s scalp turned numb.
Footsteps sounded behind her as the doctor and nurse rushed over.
Gu Meng stood by the side with weak legs, her thoughts in a mess as she watched the doctor examine Gu Jiao.
Very quickly, the doctor announced, “She’s been poisoned and the poison has already invaded her organs. There’s no way of saving her.”
Gu Meng’s fan-like eyelashes fluttered violently.
In her blurred vision, she saw Gu Jiao’s raised hand slowly drooping down.
Her struggling body seemed to hit the pause button as she became still.
Her eyes were wide open, her eyeballs almost popping out.
She had died with a remaining grievance!
The doctor looked at Gu Meng. “She’s already dead.”
Gu Meng wrapped her arms around herself and suddenly felt a chill spread from her limbs to the depths of her heart.
Her eyes widened as two streams of tears flowed down her pale face.
Because Gu Jiao had been poisoned to death, the hospital quickly called the police after such a murder.
…
Gu Che and Mrs Gu, who were strolling downstairs, were shocked when they heard that there had been a murder in the doctor’s office.
“Isn’t it normal for someone to die in the hospital?” Mrs. Gu asked nonchalantly.
Gu Che frowned. “I heard the person died from poisoning.”
Mrs Gu sneered. “I don’t know how much hatred the person who poisoned the victim has for the victim, but he actually poisoned the victim to death in the hospital!” Not wanting to mention these inauspicious things, Mrs Gu waved her hand. “Alright, it’s none of our business if someone dies. Don’t mention it anymore. It’s bad luck!”
Gu Che opened his mouth, wanting to say something but his phone rang.
After the call, Gu Che’s phone fell to the floor.
Seeing Gu Che’s expression change, Mrs Gu looked at him in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Che looked at Mrs Gu, his voice hoarse. “Mom, let’s go back to the ward.”
When Mrs Gu and Gu Che returned to the ward, the police were just about to carry Gu Jiao’s body away.
When Mrs Gu saw Gu Jiao covered with a white cloth, she screamed and stumbled over to stop the police officers. “What are you doing? This is my daughter. She’s alive and well. Why are you covering her with a white cloth?”
Mrs Gu’s eyes were red and her voice was trembling as she pointed at the police officer’s nose. “Are you cursing my daughter? Put her down!”
The police officers looked at Mrs Gu, who had lost control of her emotions. One of them pulled her away. “Madam, your daughter has been poisoned to death. We’re going to bring her body back for the coroner to dissect. Please cooperate with our investigation.”
Mrs Gu was pulled away and she knelt on the floor with weak legs. Tears flowed out of her eyes and she muttered in shock, “Jiaojiao is dead?”
No one responded to her and soon, the police officers took Gu Jiao’s body away.
Gu Che, who was standing at the side, widened his eyes in disbelief. He only went over to help Mrs Gu up after the police officers had left.
“Mom…”
Mrs Gu waved Gu Che’s hand away and walked toward the ward with a pale face.
Apart from Father Gu and Gu Meng, there were several other forensic evidence collectors in the ward.
Mrs Gu looked at Gu Meng, who was sitting on the sofa with a pale face. She was like a beast that had lost control and pounced toward Gu Meng. “Did you kill Jiaojiao? Why are you so vicious? You even harmed your own younger sister. Give me Jiaojiao, give me Jiaojiao!”
Mrs Gu grabbed Gu Meng’s neck with both hands, her eyes red with hatred.
Mr Gu was lying on the bed and wanted to get up to defend Gu Meng, but he could not say anything and could only make some noise. Gu Che reacted and rushed forward to pull Mrs Gu away.
There was a red mark on Gu Meng’s neck, but she sat still like a statue, her wet eyelashes fluttering like an injured butterfly.
“Mom, calm down. Sister won’t poison Gu Jiao. The police will find out the cause of the poison very soon. Don’t malign Sister!”
Ignoring the pain in her neck, Gu Meng stood up from the sofa and walked out of the ward in a daze.
Gu Che followed after her. “Sister, don’t take Mom’s words to heart…”
Before Gu Che could finish, he was interrupted by Gu Meng. “Don’t follow me. I want to be alone.”
Gu Meng left the hospital and walked on the road in shock.
She was like a puppet that had lost its soul, unable to breathe or think.
The image of Gu Jiao dying with her eyes wide open appeared in her mind from time to time. She felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into a cold cellar.
Gu Jiao had been against her since she was young and was extremely energetic. During the day, the two of them had even had an argument but such a life had suddenly been lost in front of her. She had even been bleeding from all orifices!
Gu Meng did not know how long she walked along the road, but her phone rang again and again.
The night gradually darkened.
Her phone rang again, but she did not answer it. This time, her phone was turned off as the battery had run out.
…
After Gu Meng went to the hospital to visit Father Gu, Ye Qing went to the office.
The head secretary was reporting to him the work that needed to be handled.
By the time he was done, it was nearly nine in the evening.
He glanced at his phone. Gu Meng had not contacted him.
He called her number.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered.
He called several more times, but no one answered.
He furrowed his eyebrows and called Gu Che.
After the call, his expression darkened.
