"What happened?"
"Doctor? Should we give her a full body checkup? "the nurse in the ambulance asked quietly.
"Send her to the hospital first. We'll see when she wakes up." The doctor couldn't decide since it involved the patient's privacy. Also, the patient fainting had nothing to do with her injuries. It was entirely due to the lack of oxygen.
The doctor put an oxygen mask on Gu Yanran with a dark expression.
The ambulance arrived at the hospital.
Gu Yanran woke up as soon as she arrived, but she was still very weak. She only cried and didn't speak. She didn't allow anyone to touch her.
The doctor and nurses saw that she was emotionally unstable and had injuries. They had no choice but to let her stay for observation.
Gu Yanran called her housekeeper, Mrs. James, and she immediately brought the necessary things to take care of Gu Yanran.
She moved her to a special single room and found the best doctor and nurses to take care of her.
The doctor saw that she was emotionally stable and asked carefully, "Miss Gu, you have some injuries on your body. We're worried that they might be related to your sudden fainting. Should we check?"
Gu Yanran shook her head frantically. "No! No need to check! I'm fine. I just need to stay here for a few days … "
"Uh, okay. If you need, we can …" Before the doctor could finish, he noticed that Gu Yanran had fainted again.
This time, Mrs. James was there, so she could help Gu Yanran. She signed the consent form and allowed the doctor to check Gu Yanran's body.
The results made the doctor and nurses furious.
"Miss Gu was abused. Mrs. James, do you know who did it?!" The doctor asked angrily. "Who would be so crazy?!"
Mrs. James immediately thought of Ye Xuan, who often spent the night with Gu Yanran. However, she also knew that Ye Xuan and Gu Yanran had a special relationship. Although they seemed to have fallen out because Gu Yanran had slept with another man, who knew what young couples were thinking? What if it was just a trick?
She said cautiously, "This is the master's personal matter. I need to ask the master before I can answer you."
She spoke British English and was reserved with a hint of arrogance, but her etiquette was impeccable.
The doctor also understood English and didn't say anything else. However, after leaving Gu Yanran's single room, he called the police according to protocol.
According to the Huaxia Empire's laws, when gunshot or knife wounds were found, as well as injuries to women and children, the hospital doctors were obligated to call the police.
In the afternoon, the police station sent two female officers to the hospital to investigate Gu Yanran's injuries.
When Gu Yanran heard that the police had arrived, she immediately became alert.
She wrapped herself up tightly and sat on the bed, denying that she had been abused or abused. She just said, "It's nothing. I was careless. My skin is too soft, and the slightest touch will cause bruises. No one hurt me. Please do not disturb me. I'm recuperating. "
The two policewomen were also very good-tempered. They had seen many victims of such relationships.
These women were generally very timid. Even if they were abused by men for a long time, they would not dare to say a word, let alone call the police to protect their rights.
Therefore, they patiently stayed at the hospital to talk to Gu Yanran and take care of her. They tried to dispel the knot in her heart and cooperate with their investigation.
However, Gu Yanran gritted her teeth and refused to say who did it. She insisted that she did it herself.
At night, after the two policewomen left, Mrs. James asked Gu Yanran worriedly, "Miss Gu, why did you hide it for him?"
"Him? Who are you talking about? " Gu Yanran frowned. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that the door to the room was slightly open. It seemed like someone was standing in front of the room.
"Of course it's Ye Xuan. Is he still fighting because of you and … someone else? Actually, if I had to say, unmarried men and women are free to choose. Why does he need you to be loyal to him? Does he deserve it? "Mrs. James's attitude was very dismissive when she talked about Ye Xuan.
Yes, she looked down on Ye Xuan and felt that he was like a prostitute. He was only Gu Yanran's boy toy.
However, Gu Yanran shook her head and said sadly, "Don't say that. He … I shouldn't have … I shouldn't have wanted to break up with him …" As she spoke, she began to cry again.
That night, Gu Yanran pinched herself all over again. Especially on top of the old wounds, she added new ones.
The next day, when the doctor came to check on her, he discovered that her old wounds had not healed, but new ones had appeared. His expression changed. "What exactly is going on?!"
Gu Yanran smiled good-naturedly, but tears streamed down her cheeks. "I told you. Actually, I accidentally did it myself. There was no one else. I don't blame anyone …"
The doctor immediately understood what she meant and couldn't help feeling sorry for her. "Miss Gu, is that b * tch really that worthy of your protection?"
Even willing to harm herself to cover up the old wounds?!
Gu Yanran didn't say anything else. Biting her lip, she turned away and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
When the two female police officers arrived, they learned about Gu Yanran's actions from the doctor. They were very sorry and said, "This is really terrible. By doing this, when the forensic examiner examines the wounds, the old wounds can't be examined at all. The new wounds will only have her own finger marks, so it will be very difficult to accuse the person who actually hurt her. "
Examining wounds was the job of the forensic examiner. It required professional equipment and techniques. Normal doctors could only look at the extent of the injury and couldn't examine the scars.
So when Gu Yanran found out that the forensic examiner couldn't examine the old wounds, she looked relieved and said to the two female police officers, "Thank you for helping me. I will remember your kindness."
The two female police officers looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
She was clearly being abused, yet she was wholeheartedly protecting that man.
But this man was clearly a cruel and unscrupulous beast!
Gu Yanran had been hospitalized for a few days, but he hadn't come to see her even once!
It seemed like it didn't matter if one was rich or poor, as long as they were weak, they would be bullied. It was this kind of weak woman that made those despicable men more and more fearless.
Since they couldn't find any evidence, and Gu Yanran didn't want to accuse anyone, the police couldn't do anything but write a report for her to sign and leave.
Since they couldn't find any evidence and Gu Yanran refused to press charges, the police had no choice but to write a report for her to sign and leave.
She refused to return to the apartment in the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital and ordered someone to put the apartment up for sale on the real estate market.

…
Ever since Ye Xuan found out that Gu Xiangwen's family lawyer was originally in Little Rock Canyon, Utah, he had been feeling uneasy and wanted to see him personally.
He wasn't sure if the lawyer was really Gu Xiangwen's lawyer or if Gu Yanran was lying to him.
Ye Xuan carefully looked at the inventory of the Gus' assets that Gu Yanran had thrown at him that day and realized that it only contained one-third of the assets that he knew.
The other two-thirds, where did they go?
The more Ye Xuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
But he was also very busy at the company, so he couldn't just leave like that.
So he delayed it for two to three days and arranged everything at the company. Before boarding the plane, he called Gu Nianzhi and said, "Gu Nianzhi, I'm going to the United States to see someone. Wait for my news."
If this lawyer was really Gu Xiangwen's family lawyer, then he must have Gu Xiangwen's will.
As long as there was a will, Gu Nianzhi's problem would be easily solved.
Gu Yanran couldn't argue even if she wanted to.
Gu Nianzhi was writing her thesis in the library when she received Ye Xuan's call.
She walked out to the hallway to answer the call and asked with concern, "Who are you going to see in the United States?"
"… I can't say for now. I'm not sure if it's true." Ye Xuan hesitated. He didn't want to say too much and cause Gu Nianzhi to dislike Gu Yanran even more.
They were sisters after all. Although they weren't biological sisters, they were still sisters.
Gu Nianzhi was very unhappy with Ye Xuan's hesitation. Her voice also softened. "Fine, then be careful. I'm hanging up. "
She turned off the phone and continued to write her thesis.
Ye Xuan also put the phone away and looked around. He realized that the few people who had been following him a few days ago seemed to have disappeared.
He snorted and walked through the VIP special passage to get on the plane. He didn't say anything on the way and arrived alone in Little Rock Canyon, Utah.
…
At the headquarters of the Special Operations Forces in the Imperial Capital, Bai Yueran came to Huo Shaoheng's office. She placed a few citizen complaints in front of Huo Shaoheng and said, "Huo Shao, tell our people to restrain themselves. This is within the country, not abroad. They can't use the methods they use against foreigners on their own citizens. "
Stalking, monitoring, and secretly recording — these methods were used for national interests overseas, so there was no problem at all. However, within the country … If the citizens found out, it would be big trouble.
Also, according to the legislation, the scope of the Special Operations Forces' operations should also be outside the country. They shouldn't be operating within the country.
However, Huo Shaoheng used the previous time he went to New York to encounter danger and catch a mole to use both carrot and stick to force the Senate to pass new legislation that allowed the Special Operations Forces to act freely within the country after receiving permission from the Supreme Military Council and the Senate's special panel.
However, this "freedom" required a lot of authorization. This way, the possibility of keeping it a secret would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Huo Shaoheng normally didn't act within the country. There was no other reason than it was too easy for secrets to be leaked.
This time, in order to smoothly proceed with the estate dispute between Gu Nianzhi and Gu Yanran, he made an exception and used the excuse that Gu Xiangwen's assets involved important national interests to apply for special permission from the Senate and the Supreme Military Council to monitor Gu Yanran.
However, Gu Yanran seemed to be doing something again this time. She first fell out with Ye Xuan and sent him away. At the same time, for some reason, she actually discovered that someone was stalking her and specifically complained to the Senate about the Special Operations Forces. She even hinted that Huo Shaoheng was "abusing his power for personal gain" by using his own power to help Gu Nianzhi fight for the estate.
The complaint document in Bai Yueran's hands was submitted by Gu Yanran.
She had already fallen out with Gu Nianzhi, so she wasn't afraid of offending her or Huo Shaoheng.
Therefore, even though she knew that Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng had broken up, she still followed that person's suggestion and filed a complaint. This way, Huo Shaoheng would have some reservations and not secretly help Gu Nianzhi because he still had feelings for her.
Huo Shaoheng flipped open the complaint document in front of him. His eyes flashed as he said, "A real name complaint? But Gu Yanran is not a Huaxia citizen. Even if we monitor her, it's not against the law, right? "
Bai Yueran smiled and nodded. "I told the Secret Service the same thing, but they still insisted that this is within the Huaxia Empire. In terms of territory, we can't overstep our boundaries. Even if we want to monitor Gu Yanran, they have to do it. "
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
"I've already received permission from the Senate to act. If they're dissatisfied, they can look for Speaker Long. " Huo Shaoheng finished speaking and pushed the complaint documents back to Bai Yueran. "I'll have to trouble Director Bai with the rest."
"Okay, I finally understand why our people are so domineering. So it's because 'if the higher-ups like it, the people below will like it even more.'" Bai Yueran smiled as she took back the documents. "Since Huo Shaoheng is so domineering, I won't embarrass him. Wait for me to respond to their inquiries! "
"However," Bai Yueran changed the topic. "Huo Shaoheng, you better withdraw the people monitoring Gu Yanran."
"Why?" Huo Shaoheng didn't even look up. He didn't want to continue this topic.
"I'm talking to you about this as a lawyer." Bai Yueran's expression became serious. "If your surveillance hadn't been discovered by Gu Yanran, then it wouldn't have mattered. But now that your surveillance has been discovered by Gu Yanran, I'm afraid that when the time comes in court, Gu Yanran will use this as an excuse to claim that a lot of the evidence was obtained illegally and not allowed to be used in court. This will have an extremely negative impact on Gu Nianzhi's estate dispute case."
