Assistant Lin took a few deep breaths to steady his emotions before stepping forward. Keeping his report as brief as possible, he said, “Mr. Gu, the journalists and workers in the conference hall have all been dismissed. Wu Fang has been handed over to the police to be dealt with. We’ve also sent word to the media; they know their limits and will not report on this incident indiscriminately.”
However, it seemed as if Gu Yu’s soul had left his body. Without any sort of response from his boss, Assistant Lin couldn’t tell if he had even heard a single word that had been said.
After a pause, Assistant Lin lowered his voice and consoled him by saying, “Mr. Gu, God protects the righteous. Considering that Young Mistress is such an upright lady, the Heavens will treat her kindly.”
Gu Yu’s eyelashes finally flickered. Perhaps it was because Assistant Lin had mentioned Xu Weilai.
Assistant Lin couldn’t help but sigh. He was about to walk away and leave Mr. Gu in peace when out the corner of his eye, he caught sight of blood that continued to ooze out of Gu Yu’s arm…
His eyes widened as he took a closer look. With a sharp inhale, he exclaimed, “Mr. Gu! Your arm is bleeding!”
He hadn’t noticed it before because Gu Yu’s hand and body had been soaked with Xu Weilai’s blood. It was hard to notice with the massive bloodstains covering it!
His eyes fell on Gu Yu’s face, and he realized that his lips were already white.
“Mr. Gu,” Assistant Lin called out anxiously. “You have to get your wound treated.” If Gu Yu continued losing blood at such a rate, his life would be at stake!
Gu Yu pretended to not hear Assistant Lin’s cries and looked away. His dark eyes stared intently at the closed doors of the operating theater.
Xiao Chun was initially waiting anxiously beside them, but she regained her focus and hurried over upon hearing what Assistant Lin said. Glancing at Gu Yu’s injury, she said worriedly, “Brother Yu, I’ll keep watch here. You should go with Assistant Lin to get your wound dressed!”
Xiao Chun and Assistant Lin spent a while trying to persuade Gu Yu, but he didn’t react at all. Xiao Chun began to panic. Gritting her teeth, she slowly ground out, “If you collapse, Little Weilai would have taken that knife for nothing! Furthermore, if something were to happen to you, who’s going to take care of Little Weilai when she comes out? Do you trust anyone else to do it?”
Assistant Lin quickly supported her words, “Exactly, Mr. Gu! Even if you do not care for your own health, you should at least consider the Young Mistress!”
After a brief moment of silence, Gu Yu’s dark eyes shifted. Eventually, he said in a hoarse voice, “Call a doctor over.”
Assistant Lin heaved a huge sigh of relief and replied in affirmation. He hurriedly ran off to find a doctor.
Xiao Chun watched Gu Yu silently for a while. Before her tears could fall, she quickly turned around to face the window. With her back towards him, she allowed the tears to begin pouring out of her eyes.

Xu Weilai had a rather long dream where all the images seemed to converge in a blurry light.
She dreamed of when she had first found out from her parents that she was already engaged. Back then, she had still been very young and thoroughly ignorant.
Her parents had told her that her fiance was named Gu Yu, who would eventually become the most important man in her life.
Barely able to comprehend their words, she had turned to the official unabridged dictionary. In the thick compendium, she had found that word and highlighted it repeatedly.
Her first meeting with Gu Yu had been very unpleasant.
That night, after she had returned home, she had torn off the two pages containing that word in the official unabridged dictionary. She had crushed the pages up into a ball and tossed it into the wastebasket.
Back then, she had her pride. She had told herself that since he didn’t like her, she wasn’t going to like him either!
Time in her dream flew by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, she was reliving her college years. She had applied for this particular university because her parents had told her to. Later on, she had found out…
