While laughing, Wu Daoquan slumped forward and fell from the rooftop of the 20th floor. His body hit the ground in an extremely distorted posture, smashing into a pulp.
"Quick! Go and take pictures! Dean Wu has fallen from the building!"
"This is a top - notch big news. If we can take photos, we'll make it to the headlines!"
Like a swarm of locusts, the reporters rushed towards Wu Daoquan, whose body was slowly oozing a pool of blood. Each of them excitedly raised their cameras. The flashlights flickered in Wu Daoquan's bulging and staring eyes.
Wu Daoquan was dead. After learning this news, Lu Chuanbai showed no great reaction, as if this was exactly what was supposed to happen.
Li Hongchan also received her due punishment. Lu Chuanbai reported the case to the police and submitted the relevant materials.
Li Hongchan was suspected of intentional homicide and might spend the rest of her life in prison.
The double - storey villa that Li Hongchan was so proud of was also compensated to Lu Chuanbai. In the end, she got nothing.
Looking at the message from the detective that Wang Chengxiang had returned to the country, Lu Chuanbai's eyes flashed with a deep and complex light.
There was only Wang Chengxiang left. After he returned to the country, Lu Chuanbai would make him pay the price.
Gu Anrou also paid the price. Ninety - nine percent of her face was burned. Her face was wrapped in white bandages. She would probably bear the scars for the rest of her life.
Gu Anrou blamed all this on Xu Qingqing. If Xu Qingqing hadn't dodged, it would be Xu Qingqing lying here now.
The hatred in Gu Anrou's heart reached its peak. Her father, who had come specially to take care of her, was sitting beside her bed.
Looking at Gu Anrou, whose head, neck and upper body were wrapped in white gauze, Mr. Gu's eyes were numb to the extreme and full of heart - break.
Mr. Gu wanted to scold Gu Anrou for not being content with her good life and insisting on going after Xu Qingqing, which had led to her tragic consequence.
But he was afraid that it would affect Gu Anrou's physical and mental health, so he held back his words.
The hatred in Gu Anrou's heart reached its peak. Her throat was hoarse, and her words were slurred.
"Dad! Help me!"
This was the first time Gu Anrou had spoken in these days. When Mr. Gu heard her speak, his eyebrows were filled with grief. He forced his voice out.
"What's wrong? Are you in a lot of pain?"
Gu Anrou barely moved her finger and waved it, indicating that it wasn't that. She continued to howl hoarsely, "Please call Lu Fenglin here. I want to see him. I have something to say to him."
Now the only person she could count on was Lu Fenglin. She must see him.
Mr. Gu was stunned when he heard this. He knew that Gu Anrou must be up to something again. He forced a bitter smile.
"Anrou, why can't you let it go? Do you want to live in hatred and carry out useless revenge for the rest of your life?"
Gu Anrou was hit hard by her father's words. She became extremely manic. She hit the iron bed with her hands so hard that the bed rattled.
"If you don't help me call Lu Fenglin here, I'll kill myself!"
She didn't have to live on in this horrible state!
If she couldn't get revenge, she'd rather die!
Afraid that Gu Anrou would really hurt herself, Mr. Gu had no choice but to comfort and promise her.
"Okay, okay, okay. I know. I'll go and find Lu Fenglin right away. I'll even tie him up and bring him here if I have to."
After saying that, Mr. Gu sighed and went to find Lu Fenglin. Unexpectedly, Lu Fenglin's mother was in the same hospital as Gu Anrou. Mr. Gu ran into him as soon as he went downstairs.
As soon as Mr. Gu saw Lu Fenglin, he felt as if he had seen a life - saving straw. He rushed up excitedly, grabbed Lu Fenglin and dragged him towards Gu Anrou's ward.
"Lu Fenglin, Gu Anrou wants to see you! If she can't see you, she'll hurt herself! Please come with me to see her!"
Although Lu Fenglin wanted to refuse when he heard this, he couldn't say no to the haggard - looking Mr. Gu. Helplessly, he followed Mr. Gu into Gu Anrou's ward.
Gu Anrou didn't expect her father to bring Lu Fenglin here so soon. She asked her father to go out first, then slowly turned her head towards the direction where Lu Fenglin was.
Looking at Gu Anrou, who was almost wrapped like a mummy, Lu Fenglin showed no sympathy on his face. Instead, a faint sneer appeared on his lips.
"I didn't expect you'd end up like this. You've done too many bad things and now you're getting your just deserts."
Gu Anrou was hit by Lu Fenglin's words. She hit the iron bed with her hands to vent her dissatisfaction, and only stopped when Lu Fenglin casually softened his tone.
Lu Fenglin pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing his legs. He looked at Gu Anrou on the hospital bed with a half - smile.
"Speak. What do you want me for?"
"I want revenge. I need your help!" Gu Anrou said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Lu Fenglin directly advised Gu Anrou to give up, with a hint of coldness in his tone, "Don't even think that I'll help you hurt Xu Qingqing."
"I don't want to hurt Xu Qingqing. The person I hate is Lu Chuanbai!"
Gu Anrou knew that Lu Fenglin would never hurt Xu Qingqing. Anyway, Lu Fenglin couldn't see her expression now, so she deliberately shifted all the blame to Lu Chuanbai.
"If Lu Chuanbai hadn't assigned so many bodyguards to Xu Qingqing, I would have succeeded long ago!"
"I've been with him for so many years, but I'm not as good as a slut who climbed into his bed! He doesn't care about our years of affection at all. I want revenge!"
Hearing the hatred in Gu Anrou's words, Lu Fenglin couldn't see her expression, so it was hard for him to tell whether she really hated Lu Chuanbai or not.
Lu Fenglin followed her words and continued to ask, "So?"
"Don't you want to get the position of the president of the Lu Group? You just need to get rid of Lu Chuanbai. Support me, and I'll take care of him."
Gu Anrou said one thing but thought another.
All she had to do was to change the target of the abduction to Xu Qingqing. Then she'd act quickly and make Xu Qingqing pay the price.
Hearing Gu Anrou's words, Lu Fenglin was a little tempted. His fingers tapped on the bed frame one after another.
Since Gu Anrou had said so, it seemed a pity not to use her.
All he had to do was to keep a close eye on Gu Anrou and prevent her from hurting Xu Qingqing.
Lu Chuanbai had made his mother lie in bed until now. It was time for him to pay the price.
Just when Gu Anrou was nervously waiting to see if Lu Fenglin would agree, Lu Fenglin readily agreed.
"Okay, but..." As he said this, Lu Fenglin sized up Gu Anrou on the bed from top to bottom and gave a soft click of his tongue.
"How are you going to harm Lu Chuanbai in this state?"
She couldn't even get out of bed now. Wouldn't she just hold him back?
Hearing this, Gu Anrou snorted, "I've just burned my face. My legs are fine. You don't need to worry about this. I'll find a way to sneak out tomorrow."
"Okay. I'm counting on you. Call me then." Lu Fenglin casually gave Gu Anrou a thumbs - up.
Mr. Gu, who was waiting outside the door, looked nervous when he saw them coming out. "Have you finished talking? The guards are back from their meal."
"Yes, we're done."
