Gu Cheng smiled sinisterly. “Bribing me? You would dare?”
“‘Half of the compensation’? You’re the one who’s going to be compensating others now, do you understand?!”
His voice kept pounding on Qian Shu t s heart, intimidating and oppressive.
Qian Shu only came to her senses after he left, and immediately broke down in tears.
“No! No! We remembered wrongly! It’s not like that! It’s that Li Nian! It’s all her fault. She’s the one who hit us! It has nothing to do with Lu Ning! We won’t sue her! We want to sue Li Nian! It’s all Li Nian’s fault!”
Only then did Qian Shu realize that Gu Cheng had been guiding them step by step towards an even more terrifying abyss.
On Li Langs side, before Gu Cheng could say anything, he was so frightened that he recounted the incident again. He cried as he spoke.
Gu Cheng looked at him, his gaze icy. When he was done crying, he asked coldly, “What about Li Nian?”
Li Lang was stunned and looked at Gu Cheng with a pale face.
“Now both my clients are accusing you of attempted rape. The evidence is conclusive!”
Gu Cheng stood up like the King of Hell who had announced his death sentence. He said emotionlessly, “Li Lang, your good days are here.”
With that, he turned around and left.
As Li Lang sat on the stool, he began to tremble in fear.
Qian Shu had lied non-stop and continued to change her statements, but now that the evidence was conclusive, it confirmed that everything Lu Ning said was true.
At 5:40 in the morning, Lu Ning was led out by Gu Cheng.
She yawned a few times as soon as she came out.
The first to notice was Huo Jinyan, who immediately stood up.
Lu Ning turned to look at him, but he was immediately blocked by Lin Ci, who pounced on her.
“Ningning! I’m so relieved!”
After saying that, she let go of Lu Ning and bumped Gu Cheng with her fist. “You’re quite capable, aren’t you!’
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows.
Gu Chen and Li Nian stood behind, looking at her.
Lu Qing did not say anything. He simply heaved a sigh of relief in secret.
After saying that and completing the final procedures, they brought Lu Ning out. However, when Lu Ning turned around she could not find Huo Jinyan.
Gu Cheng noticed it.
“Huo Jinyan had something to deal with so he left first. He wanted me to give this to you.”
After handing it to Lu Ning, Lu Ning took a look. They were mostly things for treating wounds.
She knew he must have sat here all night.
But did he have to leave without saying a word…
“Let’s go. Let’s grab some food first, I’m starving. Ningning, go home and rest after breakfast, you don’t have to go to class today. I’ll apply for leave for you.” Lu Ning nodded and the group got into three different cars.
Lu Ning sat in Gu Chengs car. Gu Chen brought Li Nian and Lin Ci with him, while Lu Qing drove his own car.
As soon as Lu Ning got into the car, she asked about what happened next.
Gu Cheng also answered truthfully.
“A camera?”
“Yes, she installed a pinhole camera opposite her bed. She must have been harassed for a long time and used it to collect evidence.”
Lu Nings face turned pale. “Is Li Nian alright? Did he really…”
She did not continue. Gu Cheng understood and nodded. “No, they were all merely attempts. However, having been harassed and on tenterhooks for so many years, and not knowing when there might be someone standing by her bed at night, it must be frightening.”
Lu Ning heaved a sigh of relief. “Phew, thank goodness.”
“Then please check if Li Nian has anything. That mother and son wanted her to go in so badly, they must have been coveting something.”
Gu Cheng nodded. “Gu Chen’s already checked. There’s an inheritance under her name that she hasn’t received yet, which she can only receive when she’s 18 years old. Her mother left it to her..”
