CHAPTER 328: CHAPTER 204 I AM WILLING TO FOR YOU

Zhuo Yufeng felt angry about Duan Feixun acting as Gao Yang’s defense lawyer, but at this moment, seeing him bravely take a knife for several women, all his anger dissipated.

Duan Feixun naturally didn’t want Zhuo Yufeng to come over. He leaned his tall body onto Zheng Tong, and his eyebrows also showed a very pained expression.

Zheng Tong looked at him, "Okay, let’s go to the hospital now."

Tian Xin said, "I will call the hospital!"

Song Ziyu said, "I’ll drive. Sister Tong, help Lawyer Duan get in the car!"

"Let’s take my car!" said Duan Feixun.

"Your car smells though?" Zheng Tong glared at him.

"Of course not!" Duan Feixun looked at his bleeding palm and immediately said, "I’m worried about my hand bleeding and dirtying Ziyu’s car!"

Song Ziyu opened the car door, "I’m not that fussy, just treat my Sister Tong well in the future, and we naturally won’t oppose you."

"I will indeed treat Tongtong well..." Duan Feixun immediately said, "I won’t let her suffer the slightest harm again."

"Alright, let’s go!" Although Zheng Tong was moved by his action today, she was anxious to not linger and leave.

So, Song Ziyu drove, Tian Xin sat in the passenger seat, pulling out her phone to call the hospital.

Zheng Tong helped Duan Feixun onto the back seat, while Bei Ran approached and said, "Sister Tong, I’ll head over later, you go with Lawyer Duan first."

After Song Ziyu drove away, Bei Ran and Zhuo Yufeng started to discuss the case together.

Bei Ran said, "We’ve analyzed it, and the possibility of the twins seeking revenge for the four dead Jiaoyang Club men is small. Instead, there’s someone behind the scenes threatening them, targeting us. Why don’t you try to get it out of them, see if that’s the case?"

Zhuo Yufeng nodded, "I’ve looked at their records, and these twins only had a passing acquaintance with the deceased Jiaoyang Club men, hardly a reason for revenge. Your analysis makes sense. I’ll go ask and then call you."

"No need, I’ll accompany you," said Bei Ran.

Zhuo Yufeng glanced at her, "That’s true, Gu Qingchen is still busy at the hospital, let’s go together!"

After the two went to the police station, Zhuo Yufeng interrogated the twins, "There are two paths before you now. One is to tell the truth, who instructed you to stab Bei Ran and Zheng Tong. If you are willing to cooperate with the police in capturing the mastermind, as you were coerced into committing the crime, we will plead for you in front of the judge, who will consider reducing your sentence. If you refuse to cooperate, even though you were threatened and aggrieved, you won’t benefit from a reduced sentence. Between these two choices, I believe you are sensible enough to understand without me having to say more!"

After exchanging a glance, the twins said, "We’ll tell you, we were coerced too... a few nights ago, someone showed us a photo of our colleague who had been skinned and told us to target Bei Ran, also saying that if we did not do it, the next ones to be skinned would be us..."

"Do you remember what the person who threatened you looked like?" Zhuo Yufeng asked.

"We didn’t get a clear look at his face; he wore a duckbill cap, covering it," one of the twins said.

Zhuo Yufeng nodded, "Then what about his voice? Was it altered in any way?"

"That... we didn’t notice..." said the twins, shaking their heads in unison.

Zhuo Yufeng looked at them, "So with just a single threat, you committed murder with a knife. Why didn’t you report it to the police at the time? If you had, the police would have protected you. But now, you are charged with murder! You can’t be so ignorant in the future."

"We know we were wrong. We were scared at the time, plus the skinning case is still unsolved, nobody knows who the next victim will be," they sighed.

Zhuo Yufeng returned to his office, and Bei Ran sat there, flipping through his books.

"How did it go?" asked Bei Ran when he came back.

Zhuo Yufeng sat down, "Just as you guessed, they were threatened, but they didn’t see the person’s face clearly, and they might not recognize the voice."

Bei Ran nodded her head, "Have you ever met Gu Yucheng?"

"You mean Gu Group’s CEO Gu Yucheng? I’ve seen his business interviews," Zhuo Yufeng took a sip of water, "He looks very much like Gu Qingchen, there is a rumor that they are twins..."

"I want to meet him, will you accompany me to see him?" Bei Ran grabbed her handbag.

Zhuo Yufeng naturally would accompany her. "Do you suspect that it was Gu Yucheng’s doing?"

Bei Ran shook her head, "Gu Yucheng is also a business prodigy; under his leadership, Gu Group has always been among the top five hundred companies in the world. He shouldn’t have done anything against me. I just can’t wrap my head around something, so I wanted to see him, that’s all!"

"Of course, there are rumors that he and Gu Qingchen don’t get along." Zhuo Yufeng glanced at Bei Ran.

Bei Ran got into his car and fastened her seatbelt, "It’s not a rumor, they truly don’t get along, and it seems the hatred is quite deep. Anyway, Qingchen doesn’t like me seeing him!"

"And yet you’re still going?" Zhuo Yufeng couldn’t help but laugh.

"He made me angry today!" Bei Ran huffed, "So, I’ll do something to upset him; we’ll call it even."

Zhuo Yufeng laughed even louder, "No wonder there’s an old saying, ’women and villains are capricious and hard to raise!’"

Laugh as he might, as a brother, he was still willing to accompany her!

Zhuo Yufeng drove to a Western restaurant because he had already received news that Gu Yucheng, his wife Ji Su, and his daughter Gu Yaowan were dining there.

Zhuo Yufeng and Bei Ran sat down at the table next to them. Zhuo Yufeng ordered a steak and then added, "Make it medium-well..."

"I’ll have mine cooked to eight doneness," said Bei Ran.

"I remember you used to prefer medium..." Zhuo Yufeng frowned, "Did I remember wrong?"

"You didn’t remember wrong, my taste has changed," Bei Ran said with a smile, raising her glass, "I used to love Tang Baijin, now I love Gu Qingchen."

Zhuo Yufeng made a helpless face, his affection for her was that of a brother’s doting on a sister, "You really have to needle me to be happy, huh! Well, medium or medium-well, come on, cheers!"

Bei Ran downed her drink with gusto and then, as she put down her glass, she locked eyes with Ji Su.

Ji Su had a pair of very beautiful, large eyes. In addition to being beautiful, she also had an intensely scholarly air, with an innocence and kindness in every smile and frown.

Ji Su gave her a slight nod, then, as she withdrew her gaze, she looked affectionately at her daughter Gu Yaowan and, lifting her head, tenderly gazed at Gu Yucheng.

Gu Yucheng had a glass in his right hand, and he stretched out his left hand to gently hold Ji Su’s small hand.

Ji Su’s face turned red, then bashfully flushed with crimson, placed her hand in his palm, and then lifted her glass with her left hand, softly saying, "Husband..."

Gu Yucheng clinked glasses with her, and they exchanged a smile that felt eternal in a single glance.

There was an atmosphere of enduring affection between them, a warm and silent feeling flowing continuously.

Their daughter Gu Yaowan was eating the steak on her plate, and the deep paternal affection with which Gu Yucheng cut the steak for her made Ji Su feel it was such a beautiful sentiment, spreading between them.

Their table was filled with loving affection, while Bei Ran and Zhuo Yufeng seemed much more hearty and vigorous.

Gu Yucheng and Ji Su finished their meal first and prepared to leave.

Ji Su intimately linked her arm with Gu Yucheng’s, and he led his daughter with one hand and held his wife with the other. He nodded at Bei Ran as they were ready to leave.

As Gu Yucheng was about to leave, Zhuo Yufeng asked her, "Didn’t you come to find them?"

"It’s nothing!" Bei Ran shrugged, "I’m hungry, I want another steak..."

"Turns out you came here to take advantage of me today!" Zhuo Yufeng sighed. After watching the family of Gu Yucheng leave, he lowered his voice, "Did you find out anything?"

"They are very affectionate!" Bei Ran ate a row of steak.

"So you came just to see how affectionate they are!" Zhuo Yufeng rolled his eyes, "You suspect that Gu Yucheng is related to the case with Gu Qingchen six years ago, don’t you!"

"You saw right through me!" Bei Ran no longer hid her purpose, "I’m thinking, Gu Yucheng and Qingchen look very similar, so it’s understandable if Song Chenxi mistook them. Also, Grandpa personally verified the DNA left on Song Chenxi by that man, confirming they have a blood relationship. Given how much Gu Yucheng and Qingchen look alike, they must be brothers. Qingchen spent that whole night with me, so if it were Gu Yucheng who was with Song Chenxi, it all fits logically."

Bei Ran continued, "I’ve made a very big assumption; it wouldn’t be surprising if Gu Yucheng had the strongest motive to commit the crime. Qingchen and he are both heirs to the Gu Group. If he could disqualify Gu Qingchen from the inheritance, everything would be his!"
