Chapter 260: One Man’s Actions, One Man’s Responsibility
Gu Dongxing did not look at Yang Meiyin, but at Gu Ming instead: "Even if Ye Qing and I have no marital ties, she is still my sister. I cannot ignore her being abused."
He directly took out Ye Qing’s disability assessment and the photographs of the scars on her body that had already been developed.
Looking at those photos, Gu Ming was shocked: "This is—"
How deep must the hatred be to inflict such injuries on someone?
There isn’t a single spot on her body that isn’t injured. Especially the marks on her wrists, it’s clear that they are from being hung and beaten.
"These scars obviously aren’t from a day or two of beating, but from long-term abuse," Gu Dongxing sighed.
"I didn’t kidnap her; I happened to find her collapsing while taking out the trash, and I took her to the hospital. The hospital has issued an authoritative assessment, classifying her injuries as ten-level disability."
Gu Ming hadn’t expected that the Sun Family’s son would dare to treat Ye Qing .
Gu Dongxing continued: "The Sun Family assumes because Ye Qing is the Ye Family’s eldest daughter and her father remarried, nobody would advocate for her since she lacks a caring father and a present mother, which made them so daring in their abuse towards Ye Qing.
As for them wanting to settle accounts with me, don’t worry, they’ll soon be too busy to care because I’ve reported Sun Erliang’s abuse leading to family members’ disability to the police."
Yang Meiyin was shocked: "What? You reported to the police? What right do you have to report? Are you trying to doom our Gu Family?"
Gu Dongxing looked at Gu Ming: "Dad, do you also think I shouldn’t meddle in this affair?"
Without waiting for Gu Ming to answer, he continued, "Apart from Grandpa Ye’s kindness to my mother and I, just as a normal citizen who sees the people’s safety and security being compromised, I must step forward.
Thus, I will handle this affair no matter what! If worst comes to worst, I will sever ties with the Gu Family—each person responsible for their own actions!"
Gu Ming suddenly stood up: "What are you saying about severing ties? You are Gu Ming’s eldest son; how can this relationship be severed just like that?
Additionally, Ye Qing, a servant girl, is being abused; as her elders, how can we stand by and do nothing? Rest assured, now with this evidence, I will immediately contact Ye Sheng. If he won’t stand up for Qingqing, then I will."
Yang Meiyin, seeing that not only did Gu Ming not blame Gu Dongxing but was even going to join him in advocating for Ye Qing, became anxious.
"Ah, Old Gu, this matter can’t be dealt with impulsively. That Sun Erliang is an intermittent schizophrenic. Even if he kills someone, he won’t have to take responsibility. It’s just a ten-level disability; what difference will it make if you come forward?"
But what she really wanted to say was: You might not be afraid of him, but what about us? What about Xingxing and Chengcheng? What if he retaliates against us?"
Gu Dongxing sneered: "He has no mental illness at all!"
Yang Meiyin exclaimed: "You’re talking nonsense! He is mentally ill—he killed his previous wife without facing charges, all because he was deemed mentally ill."
Gu Dongxing sneered: "What about his mental illness assessment? I can’t believe you don’t know. He doesn’t have any mental illness. The reason he abused his wife is simply that he is infertile, unable to have sexual relations, and thus takes out his frustrations on women, satisfying his perverse likings."
Gu Ming was startled: "Is that really true?"
"That’s what Qingqing said. That Sun Erliang controls Qingqing, forbidding her from contact with men, and threatening her, saying even if he killed her, he would be unpunished as long as he bribed someone to certify him as having a mental breakdown during the killing."
These outrageous words stirred Gu Ming to indignation as well.
