301. VIP 301, The Murderer
"Dear friends, I have important news to announce - I am getting married next month! Originally, I was going to hold a press conference, but today is a rare opportunity, so I would like to take this opportunity to share this good news with you in advance. Pete couldn't help if he wanted to, so he could only rush to the periphery of the reporter and shout loudly to distract the reporter, but those reporters didn't pay attention to Pete at all, just asked Bai Yiru vigorously.
Gu Dongning was so angry that he grabbed Bai Yiru's hand several times, and was squeezed out of the way, he was angry, smashed a few cameras, and beat a few reporters, and then rushed through the crowd and walked to Bai Yiru.
"Any journalist who asks a question here today will file a lawsuit for defamation! I love my wife so much that I haven't been divorced at all! My wife doesn't know what Wen Sihao's little star is at all! The death of my sister and the driving of my stepmother are even more groundless, if you dare to spread rumors and fabricate and distort facts, you are ready to be prosecuted! He hugged Bai Yiru and said coldly to everyone, the cruelty on his face made people shudder just by looking at it.
Bai Yiru leaned on Gu Dongning's arms, her face was pale, her brows were furrowed tightly, although she had too many questions in her heart, she still didn't say anything, and followed Gu Dongning's actions every time.
"Dong Ning, you take your sister-in-law to go with Xiao Xin, Pete and Ma Ke help Dong Ning. Make sure they get them safely to the bus. After Ning Xiuji communicated with the people in the school, he squeezed into the crowd and said to Gu Dongning.
"No problem." Pete and Marco both nodded in agreement, not curious about the gossip, they were more worried about their friends.
"Xiu Ji, what about you?" Tong Xiaoxin was worried about Ning Xiuji, so she grabbed his wrist and asked.
"The lawyer is here, and I have to communicate with them." Ning Xiuji hugged Tong Xiaoxin and whispered in her ear, "Dong Ning is going to accompany my sister-in-law now, so I have to come forward to do this." If I can't accompany you, it's my fault. ”
"I'm okay." Tong Xiaoxin shook her head, she could understand, after all, Bai Yiru was the one who was hurt the most. "Be careful, then. Call me if you have something. ”
"Hmm." Ning Xiuji nodded, kissed Tong Xiaoxin's cheek, pushed her to Ma Ke's side, and handed it to Ma Ke, "Please be in charge of Xiaoxin." ”
"It's not troublesome, they're all friends." Ma Ke couldn't help laughing, Ning Xiuji was so guarded against Pete, so he deliberately explained Tong Xiaoxin to himself, wasn't he afraid that he would rob him of people?
"You're all married, be a little safer." Ning Xiuji said again.
"Ahem!" Marco choked, what is this called? He's married, so he's a little safer? That means it's still disgusting that he's not safe! Since you don't like it, don't let him be responsible!
"Don't do that." Tong Xiaoxin glanced at Ning Xiuji, waved at him, and followed Ma Ke and the others.
In front of Ma Ke were Gu Dongning and Bai Yiru, and finally Pete and his agent.
"The news of your marriage is just out like that? What do you do if a reporter blows you out? "The agent is worried about Pete.
"There is a great god in front of you, what are you afraid of?" Pete raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Gu Dongning's body, how could this young master allow today's news to be broadcast for Bai Yiru's sake.
"That's right! I actually forgot that the young master of the Hoffman family is here! The agent immediately smiled, it's good to have a big god to cover, and I'm not afraid to go all over the world!
Gu Dongning took Bai Yiru to the car, and let Tong Xiaoxin also get into the same car with them.
"Marco and I won't send you away. We'll talk about it next time. Pete said to the three people in the car.
"Okay." Tong Xiaoxin agreed, "You guys should also be careful, it's best not to go out in the next few days." ”
"Got it. I followed Pete and it was fine. Bye~" Marco put his arm on Pete's shoulder and waved to the people in the car.
"Thank you. If there is something to do in the future, just ask, I can help, there is no other word. Gu Dongning took care of Bai Yiru while looking at Pete and Ma Ke.
Bai Yiru leaned back in the leather chair, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her face was ugly and tight, she didn't hear what others said, let alone react.
What kept echoing in her mind was that sentence - "Miss Bai, I heard that the price of marrying into a wealthy family was to kill your sister with your own hands and drive your stepmother crazy, don't you feel a little guilty and uneasy about this?" ”
"Yiru, don't be afraid, we'll go home right away." Gu Dongning noticed that Bai Yiru's condition was getting worse and worse, so she nervously asked Tong Xiaoxin to sit in the back seat to take care of her, and hurriedly walked to the front row to start the car.
Pete and Mako escorted them away and headed for the parking lot.
A car happened to leave beside them, and the people in the car smiled weirdly, staring at Gu Dongning's car, gritting their teeth and muttering to themselves: "It's just started, and the excitement is still to come!" We'll see! ”
The order of the school was chaotic, the students were evacuated back to the dormitory, the leaders of all parties also left one after another, and those reporters who didn't know where they came from were all taken away by Gu Dongning's people.
Simon, the largest investor in the networking event, was still busy in the auditorium, and the phone rang over and over again, and he was not available to answer.
"Dean Johannes, I hope that your university can give a reasonable explanation for this accident, and I, as an investor, have the right to know this." He said righteously to the principal of Tong Xiaoxin School.
"I know. Of course I know that. Mr. Simon, but please give me some time, the most important thing now is to get the injured student to go for treatment first. "Dean Johannes has a headache, the school has held many such multi-national student networking events, but there has never been an accident because they are very concerned about safety, and no one expected this to happen today.
"This is your school's responsibility, and it has nothing to do with me. But Mr. Lukas and Fynn are my friends, and their woman is a victim of an accident, and I have to help them get an explanation. You also have to apologize to my friends. Simon's tone was uncompromising, "If you can't do it, I won't fund any more activities of your school in the future." ”
"No problem." Dean Johannes' nervous forehead was sweating, there were many activities in the school, Simon was the most generous, and invested a lot of money, if he didn't invest, then many activities in the school would have to be stopped.
"Fynn-" Simon saw Ning Xiuji's figure in the crowd and called out to him, "Fynn, I'm discussing with Dean Johannes, after the matter is found out, I want to give you an explanation to Lukas, and I have to apologize to you." That's the only thing I ask of them as an investor. ”
"Apologize or something. It is most important to find out the cause of the accident first. Ning Xiuji said like nothing on his face, and he kept thinking about what Simon meant, although this accident had been found out and had nothing to do with him, but would he be too attentive?
Because Ben wants to take revenge, as long as Bai Yiru is in danger, the first objects of Gu Dongning's investigation are Simon and Ben, so as long as it is not them, it is the first one to be ruled out.
"Of course." Simon nodded in agreement with Ning Xiuji's words, and then looked at the dean, "Dean Johannes, please be sure to give us a reasonable answer within three days." ”
"Okay. Good. Dean Johannes wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and nodded.
"Fynn, I'm still in a bit of a hurry, if you need help here, I'll ask the secretary to stay." Simon looked at his watch, and it happened that the phone in his pocket rang again, and he smiled apologetically and looked down for the phone.
"No need. Thank you sir simon. Ning Xiuji bowed slightly, said hello, and left first.
Seeing this, Simon answered his phone and walked out.
Ning Xiuji immediately called Shu Guanbo.
"Simon is leaving, keep up and see if he makes any moves." The more he thought about Simon's actions just now, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't find a reasonable explanation at all, and the other party looked like he was trying to cover it up, but it didn't know what he was covering, so he had to follow up to find out.
"Good. Got it. Shu Guanbo hurriedly returned to the car and followed Simon's car away.
Ning Xiuji continued to stay and discuss things with the lawyers, collect evidence or something. During this period, Tong Xiaoxin called and said that they had arrived home safely, and asked him to rest assured and pay attention to safety.
In the castle.
Gu Dongning hugged Bai Yiru, who was pale in his face, and went upstairs to the small living room.
"Prepare some water and give it to Eru to drink." Tong Xiaoxin followed up and grabbed the maid in front of him, "Prepare some hot water and let Yiru wash her face." ”
"Xiaoxin, I called out to cook the convulsive soup, it will be fine immediately, drink this first." Ning Keyan trotted over from the corridor at the other end and said to Tong Xiaoxin, "Someone here has given you the water to wash your face." ”
"That's good. Auntie, let's go up and see Eru. Tong Xiaoxin saw that everything was ready, so she went upstairs directly with Ning Keyan.
Bai Yiru sat on the sofa, her hands clenched and opened continuously, the sweat on her forehead dried and came out, and her lips and face were as white as paper.
Gu Dongning took the towel from the maid's hand, gently wiped her face, wiped her hands again, and comforted her softly.
"Yiru, it's okay, it's all home. Wen Sihao's matter, I have already asked someone to deal with it, and no one will know anything. Besides, you and he were innocent in the first place, how could I make someone wronged you? ”
"That's it, Yiru, don't worry. Wen Sihao is still in prison now, he is already angry, who still pays attention to him, this messy rumor can't be stirred up. We're all with you, aren't you, Ang? Tong Xiaoxin stroked Bai Yiru's back one by one, gave her relief, and gave her a shock.
"I, I'm ......" Bai Yiru's mouth opened a few times, trembling and unable to say a word, his brows were twisted, and there were several deep wrinkles in the middle of his eyebrows.
"Eru, what do you want to say? Tell mom, huh? Ning Keyan, who has always felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, was even more sad, sat beside Bai Yiru, took her hand, and patted it gently.
"I ......" Bai Yiru closed her eyes, her shoulders trembled, and suddenly she cried out, trembling and said, "I didn't kill Bai Yaoyao." Is Bai Yaoyao really dead? This must have nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with Dong Ning, right? We're not murderers, are we? Zhao Yali is crazy and we didn't force it, it was Bai Yaoyao's anger, wasn't it? ”
As soon as her words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and their faces were different.
Gu Dongning's brows twitched, and her distressed eyes locked on Bai Yiru, it turned out that what she cared about was this, and what she was afraid of was this.
Ning Ke looked at her son worriedly, she dared to guarantee that this matter had something to do with her son, but how to explain it, so that Bai Yiru would not have a pimple in her heart?
Tong Xiaoxin's face was full of suspicion, and her eyes also turned to Gu Dongning. Bai Yaoyao died, Zhao Yali went crazy, she also heard about it for the first time, and these coincidences all happened after Bai Yaoyao kidnapped Bai Yiru into the mountains.
"We're not murderers, no, right, Dongning?" Bai Yiru lowered his head as if muttering, and his hands tightly grasped Gu Dongning's right hand holding the towel, and tears fell on his hands.
"It's not." Gu Dongning thought for a while, squatted down in front of Bai Yiru's eyes, picked up her chin with her left hand, and asked her to look at herself, "No." Yiru, I can tell you for sure that we are not murderers. ”
"Really?" Bai Yiru suddenly stopped crying, she seemed to be very excited, and her hands pinched Gu Dongning's right hand tighter.
"Really. I kid you not. Gu Dongning wiped Bai Yiru's tears, "Yiru, think about it carefully, when your mother's grave was dug up, Zhao Yali was already nervous, right?" ”
Bai Yiru thought about it, as if she wasn't sure, but nodded anyway.
"Yiru, that's it. That's right, I remembered it too. Zhao Yali was nervous and said that she had met Bai Yaoyao's ghost, so she went to dig the grave. Tong Xiaoxin was reminded by Gu Dongning, and all her memories came to her mind, and she didn't want to dig the grave when she was nervous just now.
"Yes. That's what she said. But Bai Yaoyao didn't die at that time. Bai Yiru still frowned, "But she was crazy at that time, and she can't say that I didn't force it." Maybe she was crazy because she couldn't see me marrying such a good person as Dong Ning, and Bai Yaoyao didn't get married. ”
"If that's the case, it's none of your business." What Tong Xiaoxin is most afraid of is Bai Yiru's soft-heartedness, sometimes so soft-hearted that she puts all the responsibility on herself.
"That's it, this has nothing to do with you, it's because she's too jealous." I'd rather give my daughter-in-law relief, this child was forced to ask by reporters, and he was a little frightened too much.
"Mom......" Bai Yiru looked at Ning Keyan again.
"Hmm. Good boy, suffered. Zhao Yali is not crazy, she deserves it, you look at the time when she abused you before, it should be her retribution. Ning Ke looked at Bai Yiru kindly, "It doesn't matter to us what happens to her in the future." You are my Hoffman's daughter-in-law, and I will take care of you with the computer. ”
Bai Yiru nodded, Ning Ke was right, Zhao Yali couldn't be forgiven for the things she did to herself.
"Don't forget that Bai Yaoyao has been missing for a while, and Zhao Yali thought her daughter was dead, so she went crazy." Gu Dongning continued, "This is what Bai Lixing said personally. Yiru, think about it, whether what I said is wrong. ”
"Nope." Bai Yiru thought about it for a while, it was really like this, the time when the grave was dug up, Bai Lixing said this. "It's all because I'm in a hurry, I don't remember anything, and my heart is all messed up."
"I can understand that. If I were to be considered a murderer, I would be distraught. Gu Dongning saw that Bai Yiru's feelings calmed down slightly, and then he was a little relieved, "Bai Yaoyao is indeed dead. But the murderer is Zhao Yali, not me, and not you. ”
"How could it be Zhao Yali?!"
Bai Yiru and Tong Xiaoxin asked in unison, Zhao Yali loves Bai Yaoyao so much, she expects Bai Yaoyao to marry into a wealthy family, and she lives a good life with others, how could she kill her daughter with her own hands?
"Zhao Yali was crazy, delirious, couldn't recognize people, and inadvertently killed Bai Yaoyao."
Gu Dongning didn't want to tell Bai Yiru the details of the period, she couldn't bear this, and he didn't plan to let her bear it, just let him bear it alone. He only hoped that she could know that Bai Yaoyao's death had nothing to do with her, and that she could live without any burden, easily and happily.
"How so?" Bai Yiru looked surprised, and she began to sympathize with Zhao Yali again, after all, no one wanted to kill their own children.
Tong Xiaoxin was also surprised, and couldn't imagine what it would be like if Zhao Yali sobered up one day and knew that she had killed her daughter with her own hands, and whether she would go crazy again.
Bai Yiru has always hated Zhao Yali and Bai Yaoyao, but she never thought of killing them, nor did she want to let them encounter such a tragic thing, at most she just accused them of a few words to relieve their anger.
Tong Xiaoxin and Bai Yiru have the same thoughts, they have a good time scolding and scolding, and if they get rid of the anger in their hearts, they won't be any better. Hate, that is, simple hate, never thought of being killed.
"I'm back." Ning Xiuji hurriedly walked over, and Tong Xiaoxin hurriedly poured a glass of water for him.
"Sit down first, and speak slowly." Ning Keji had always felt sorry for the child, and when he saw that Ning Xiuji was tired, he asked him to sit down and asked the maid to add water to his cup.
"The reporter's affairs have been explained to the lawyer. They were also misled, in order to exclusively break the news, so they interviewed their sister-in-law who was not afraid of death. But—" Ning Xiuji put down the cup and said to everyone, "They don't know who it is. It was only said that at the beginning of the performance, there were two people chatting outside the auditorium, talking about their sister-in-law, and they heard it and thought it was a good thing, so they decided to do an interview. But I couldn't find the opportunity, so I had to take advantage of the chaos. ”
"Is it confirmed that the bouquet exploded and was not the same group as the interviewer?" Gu Dongning narrowed his eyes slightly, how many groups of people hurt Bai Yiru, why in the end?
