Gu Nianzhi looked up at the densely packed small windows. Every single one looked like a prison.
She nodded and followed Smith through the hospital doors.
He showed his ID at the information counter at the door and asked for Seth's room number.
"Seth is on the third floor, room 147." A chubby nurse handed the visitor's pass to Smith.
Smith was a rare blonde and blue-eyed handsome man. He winked at the chubby nurse, who looked like she was about to faint and happily pointed to the elevator.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile and turned to walk up the stairs with Smith.
It was only the third floor, so they didn't need to take the elevator.
As soon as they reached the hallway on the third floor, Seth's parents, York and Ramona, walked toward them.
Smith and Gu Nianzhi both stopped. Ramona was furious as soon as she saw them. "What are you doing here?! My son was almost beaten to death! Are you happy now?! Satisfied?! "
Foreigners really had unreasonable double standards …
Gu Nianzhi silently cursed them. She stood to the side and didn't say a word. She left the situation to Smith.
Smith was also a very humorous person, and he hated scum like Seth to the core.
He shrugged exaggeratedly and spread his hands. "He didn't die? What a shame … "
Gu Nianzhi burst out laughing, and her shoulders shook. She quickly averted her gaze so she wouldn't be embarrassed to see Ramona's angry expression and laugh like a female toad.
Perhaps it was Smith's blonde appearance that kept Ramona and York from acting rashly, but they couldn't stand seeing Gu Nianzhi laugh uncontrollably.
"What are you laughing at?! You still have the face to laugh?! If anything happens to my son … I … I … "Ramona glared at Gu Nianzhi. Her huge body was as heavy as four Gu Nianzhi's. She walked over with pressure that couldn't be underestimated.
Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth with the back of her hand to clear her throat and stop laughing. She looked at the aggressive Ramona again, and her expression had already cooled. Her clear voice was the same as He Zhichu's. "What do you want? Are you threatening the lawyer? Fine, bring it on. "
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand and waved her phone at Ramona. "Did you see this? Now let's start the video recording. Everything you say will be used as evidence in court to prove that you threatened the lawyer. If anything happens to me, you'll be the first suspect. "
Ramona was so angry that her entire body was shaking. Her face, which was already red, turned purple, as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her face.
"You … you …!" She pointed a trembling finger at Gu Nianzhi, but she was frightened by her phone and didn't dare to speak again.
Not far behind them, a few police officers heard the commotion and looked over.
York furrowed his brows tightly. He grabbed Ramona's wrist and pulled her away.
Gu Nianzhi turned sideways and glanced at the couple through the veil of her sunhat.
At that moment, York happened to turn around. His gloomy eyes were like a venomous snake's as he looked at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and snorted softly. Turning around, she walked to Seth's room with Smith.
When they arrived at the door of Seth's room, Smith showed his ID and the visitor pass the nurse had given him. He said elegantly in German, "We are the plaintiff's lawyers. The defendant was beaten and hospitalized. This is a serious matter, so we have to investigate it."
This was permitted by law.
The two police officers guarding the room didn't have a good impression of Seth, so they didn't stop them at all. They pushed open the door and let Smith and Gu Nianzhi in.
Gu Nianzhi followed Smith into Seth's room.
Although the hospital building was an old castle, the room's interior was no different from that of a normal hospital.
White hospital beds, clean equipment, and elegantly designed sofas, tables, and chairs — it was a very high standard room.
Unfortunately, the patient lying on the bed was filthy inside and out.
Smith stood in front of Seth's bed and looked at his condition.
Seth's eyes were closed, and both his hands were cuffed to the bed. His face was bruised and swollen, and his forehead was wrapped in gauze. One of his legs was in a splint.
Gu Nianzhi slowly moved over to look at Seth's suspended leg. "What's wrong with his leg?"
The nurse who came to change the dressing said in broken English, "… Fracture."
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi wanted to ask someone to remove the splint to take a look, but seeing the nurse's cautious expression, she didn't make such an unreasonable request. Instead, she clenched her fist and viciously punched Seth's suspended leg.
"Ahhh!" Seth screamed and opened his eyes to start cursing. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was covered in a beard that hadn't been shaved for many days. He looked like a wild man and was somewhat frightening.
Smith quickly shielded Gu Nianzhi behind him.
The nurse walked over to look at the splint on Seth's leg. After making sure it was fine, she said to Gu Nianzhi stiffly, "The patient needs rest. Please leave his room."
Gu Nianzhi was worried that Seth was faking an injury to avoid legal punishment, so she had purposely tested to see if his leg injury was real.
A simple knock was enough to make him hurt like a pig being slaughtered, so it was probably real.
Gu Nianzhi didn't think that Seth, who was as simple-minded as a single-celled paramecium, could fake it so well.
Although she had confirmed that Seth's injury wasn't fake, Gu Nianzhi was still a bit upset at the nurse's scolding.
In her heart, criminals like Seth had no human rights. She didn't want to treat him like a human because he didn't treat others like humans.
When he tortured and killed Li Haiqing, the pain was a hundred times worse than Gu Nianzhi's knock on his injured leg!
As expected, he was the only one who could torture and kill others, and he would cry when someone touched a finger of his.
This kind of double standard deserved to die.
Gu Nianzhi became stubborn and said coldly to the nurse, "The lawyer has something to ask the doctor. Please ask your attending doctor to come out."
The nurse was originally very protective of Seth and had a tough attitude, but Gu Nianzhi's attitude was even more arrogant than hers, so the nurse couldn't help but cower.
She took two steps back and stammered, "M-Doctor?"
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi finally took off her sun hat and turned it in her hand. "Get the doctor here. Hurry."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a faint sense of authority.
The nurse's shoulders drooped as she jogged out of the room.
A moment later, a doctor with a stethoscope around his neck hurried in.
Smith had both hands in his trouser pockets and was also very unhappy with the nurse's attitude.
Now that the doctor had come in, Smith didn't need Gu Nianzhi to say anything. He said stiffly with a straight face, "We are the plaintiff's lawyers. According to the law, we want to ask you questions. Please answer carefully."
