Chapter 135 is utterly hopeless.
Chapter 135 is utterly hopeless.
Gu Bai opened the door and saw me pointing at the wall and gagging repeatedly. He asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong? What are you doing?"
I pointed behind me; the stench had already spread to the doorway. Gu Bai looked in the direction I was pointing, and when he saw the gruesome corpse, he couldn't help but gag.
"Damn it, which bastard did this?" Gu Bai cursed angrily.
"Never mind that for now, let's clean up quickly, otherwise Mom and Dad will be shocked when they come back and see this," I said hurriedly, then ran inside to pick up tools and put the things on the ground into the trash can.
Gu Bai took the trash away to throw it away, and I wiped the floor and sprayed some air freshener. That finally cleaned the house.
Back in my room, I took out my phone and checked the security camera footage. On the screen, a man wearing a baseball cap appeared in the frame; it was him who had done it.
Upon seeing this, Gu Bai slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, saying, "Call the police immediately! He must have thrown away yesterday's trash too!"
I shook my head and said somewhat helplessly, "But all we can see is that the other person is wearing a baseball cap and is always in profile, so we can't see their facial features at all. But strangely enough, I have a feeling that we are familiar with each other."
Gu Bai frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't rush, after all, we can't catch someone with just a blurry photo."
"So we're just going to ignore it? He'll only get worse and won't stop," I said with some concern.
Gu Bai sat down and said indignantly, "He's come twice already, so there's bound to be a third and a fourth time. Why don't we adjust the angle of the surveillance camera and see if we can capture his face?"
I suddenly remembered the security camera I bought yesterday and quickly said, "I just bought two cameras last night. We can add another one on the stairs so we can see the other person's face more clearly when they come downstairs."
Gu Bai nodded in agreement, "I'll go get it done now."
So we got busy adjusting the surveillance angles and installing new monitoring equipment. Hopefully, this time we could capture the man's face clearly and make him pay the price.
After arranging everything, Gu Bai and I waited for the fish to bite. Since I felt the person who came to throw the dead rat looked familiar, a bold guess formed in my mind. Early the next morning, I couldn't wait to go to the media company, wanting to further verify my hypothesis.
Xiaoyu's assistant always arrives exceptionally early, preparing breakfast, coffee, and everything else needed for her live stream. I quietly entered Xiaoyu's live stream room and carefully observed the new assistant. Both in height and profile, he looked remarkably like the person I'd seen on the monitor yesterday.
After confirming my suspicions, I stormed into Hong Yu's office, slammed my fist on the table, and demanded, "What exactly do you want?"
Hong Yu shrugged, turned around, and asked innocently, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Suppressing my anger, I threw all the photos in his face. Whether it was trash or dead rats, I had solid evidence. "Did you throw those things in front of my house?" I demanded.
He glanced at the photos briefly, then asked, "So what? Do you have any proof that I did it?"
His attitude was utterly shameless, and I said angrily, "You're hopeless!"
He got up, walked up to me, and gave me a shove in a cocky manner.
I was furious and pushed back.
Unexpectedly, he lay down on the ground, his body hitting a vase next to him with a loud bang, startling the people outside the office.
Because of the loud noise in the office, someone quickly pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Hong Yu lying on the floor, the person shouted, "Gu Mo pushed the boss down! Someone come quick! Call an ambulance!"
At his shouts, a large crowd quickly surrounded me, pointing and whispering. Their eyes were filled with reproach and anger, as if I had become a sinner against the company.
The ambulance arrived quickly, and paramedics rushed Hongyu into it. I stood there, feeling utterly helpless and confused. I knew I hadn't pushed him at all, and he couldn't possibly be hurt. But now, I was stuck here with company people, unable to get away.
People around me started whispering, and someone recognized me: "Isn't that so-and-so's ex-wife? What's she doing here?"
"I heard they moved to our company, but now they don't want to work here anymore. They're just throwing a tantrum," another person chimed in.
"Anyone who gets an employee like that is really unlucky," someone else lamented.
Listening to their discussion, I felt incredibly wronged and angry. I wanted to argue, but there were too many of them and the noise was too loud, so I couldn't find a chance to interject.
I could only hurriedly follow them to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I was already mentally prepared, knowing that the scoundrel Hong Yu would definitely try to pin all the blame on me.
The doctor asked Hong Yu where he felt unwell. He clutched his head and chest, groaning in pain, saying his head hurt, he was dizzy, and felt nauseous, asking if he had a concussion. The doctor examined him carefully but found no signs of a concussion. However, Hong Yu insisted on being examined, so the doctor had to write a referral and have a nurse push him to the examination room.
When he came out, he passed by me and grabbed my hand, saying to the nurse, "Nurse, give the ticket to this woman so she can pay."
I quickly pulled my hand away from his, jumped back two steps, and muttered a curse under my breath: "Are you crazy?"
Hong Yu, however, twisted the truth, saying, "It was you who pushed me down that caused my injury. If you don't pay the bill, who will?"
At this moment, Xiao Yu and his several assistants, who had rushed over, stood aside to testify for Hong Yu, saying they saw me push the boss down and hit his head. The group spoke loudly, and with other patients and their families at the door, they surrounded me.
At that moment, I was utterly speechless. Although I did push him, it was because he provoked me first, and I never expected him to use it to blackmail me. I looked around and found everyone casting accusatory glances at me, as if I were the culprit.
I took a deep breath, pondering to myself. Fortunately, I had already called Qin Lei on my way here, so I believed he would arrive soon.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the crowd; it was Jiang Yichen, with Lin Nan standing next to him.
