Page 797 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Gu Mochen... you’re acting very strange today."

"Hmm..."

Before Jian Ran could say anything more, the man’s thin lips quickly landed on hers, swallowing all the words she hadn’t had the chance to speak.

It wasn’t until Gu Mochen’s lips left hers that his deep eyes gazed at her, and then slowly he lifted his hand to her lips, his hoarse voice saying, "Jian Ran... I’m sorry."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran was surprised not only that Gu Mochen had apologized but also that he slowly crouched down, then pressed his thin lips to her abdomen.

Although it had been three years since her cesarean section, the scar on her abdomen was still there... The wound had shrunk, but it was still centipede-like and somewhat fierce, lying on Jian Ran’s fair abdomen.

It greatly affected the overall aesthetic.

They say mothers are the greatest people in the world...

For their children, they can do anything.

"Does it hurt?"

"Hmm...at first, to tell the truth, it was extremely painful. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life, but it’s been so long now, it doesn’t hurt much anymore."

"Mm."

Jian Ran’s cheeks flushed red, unaware that Gu Mochen’s eyes were shimmering with moisture, deep as the ocean, full of apology and distress.

After a long while, Gu Mochen finally stood up straight, then took the initiative to stretch out both hands to cup Jian Ran’s face, and kissed her deeply.

"Gu Mochen..."

"Mm...I’m here."

So Tang Bao was already asleep, but Jian Ran still felt her cheeks burning intensely.

Her face turned so red it seemed as if it could bleed, Gu Mochen gazed at the woman before him, his voice hoarse, whispering, "Ranran... it’s always been you... It has only ever been you."

Jian Ran felt... that she completely did not understand the depth of Gu Mochen’s words.

...

As Jian Ran was hugging the little girl to sleep, she had no idea... Yuncheng City’s media world was in an uproar.

...

Gu Family’s underground parking garage:

After getting Gu Mochen’s instructions, Secretary Zhou looked at Wang Wu in front of him, a mess and practically a beast, and said calmly, "Pull him off... if this goes on, someone’s going to get killed."

After all... for now... President Gu didn’t want Dong Qin’s wretched life.

"Understood."

"Clean up the scene... make it look like a rape case."

"Yes, Secretary Zhou..."

Wang Wu was completely exhausted, lying weakly on top of Dong Qin, while Mrs. Wang watched in terror from the side.

Dong Qin was barely clinging to life, gasping for air without strength, lying on the ground as good as dead.

The other men in black completely ignored the scene in front of them and mechanically fabricated the scene, including processing the fingerprints.

...

While waiting for the bodyguards to handle the scene, Secretary Zhou calmly turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "Mrs. Wang... President Gu needs you to handle something... Yes, there will be a hefty reward afterward, and most importantly... all past incidents will be settled."

Secretary Zhou now tempted Mrs. Wang, observing her petrified expression, and continued nonchalantly.

"Mrs. Wang... don’t say I didn’t warn you. You’ve completely torn your face with Mrs. Dong... If you don’t choose to side with President Gu now... I think... with Mrs. Dong’s temperament here, after today, if she cannot deal with President Gu, she’s likely to make you vanish without a trace."

The words ’vanish without a trace’ heavily struck Mrs. Wang’s heart, and her face immediately whitened.

"I... I will do it, I will definitely do as Mr. Gu says, I will toil like an ox or a horse... do anything, just please don’t get me involved... or in danger... I just want to live well for the rest of my life."

"Hmm."

Secretary Zhou looked at the character of Sister Wang and hadn’t expected the woman to be bought over so easily. He felt a deep contempt in his heart but tugged at the corner of his mouth nonetheless. It was still Mr. Gu who manipulated everything from behind the scenes.

Now both the person and the evidence were ready.

The evidence was conclusive... enough to convict Wang Wu... and incidentally, to utterly ruin Dong Qin’s reputation.

"Sister Wang... when the police arrive later, I think... you’re the only witness here, and the one who called them... You know what you have to say in your testimony, right?"

After speaking, Secretary Zhou handed his mobile phone over to Sister Wang, with a very clear insinuation.

Sister Wang called the police... As Dong Qin’s confidant, she also implicated Wang Wu in the rape.

The evidence was conclusive...

Sister Wang stretched out a trembling hand to receive the phone from Secretary Zhou, shivering with fright, and nodded.

"Understood... I’ll say... Wang Wu is a drugged-up thug, and after taking drugs, became reckless and tried to rape our madam..."

"Hmm... And how did you escape then?"

"I... At that time, I was looking for help... so... I didn’t know where he took the madam. By the time I found them... it was already like this, and then I quickly called the police."

Secretary Zhou curled his lips in satisfaction; Sister Wang truly was Dong Qin’s confidant—the logic in her thinking was also that of an expert.

Secretary Zhou narrowed his eyes and asked casually while looking at the burn on Sister Wang’s face: "What about the injury on your face?

"I... This hot water was prepared by Wang Wu, to spice things up... I was too panicked, so I got burned."

Secretary Zhou quietly took in Sister Wang’s logic, his thin lips pressed together.

The police station had already been taken care of; all that was needed was to file the case.

Secretary Zhou narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deliberately harsh tone: "Sister Wang, you’ve been very cooperative and sensible. I hope you can continue this way. If there happens to be any slip-up, that would be perjury, and perjury can lead to prison time, you understand?"

Sister Wang was so intimidated by Secretary Zhou’s words that she quickly nodded her head in confusion.

"Understood... I... I know... I will definitely complete the mission..."

Now... Sister Wang had understood that in the battle between Dong Qin and Gu Mochen, she was no match for Gu Mochen at all.

Dong Qin’s good days were over, and now that Sister Wang had completely turned against Dong Qin, she couldn’t expect any good days ahead either.

After careful consideration, Sister Wang’s eyes were filled with venom and shrewdness.

"Secretary Zhou... actually... I have a video here... It’s the video of that old woman Dong Qin humiliating Jian Ran.

.. She recorded it to show Han Siming, to tell him that Jian Ran was a vain woman, never expecting that Jian Ran was entirely indifferent to money, so she let me handle the video. .. I... I kept it just in case."

"Secretary Zhou... Given that I came forward so proactively, you must speak well of me in front of Mr. Gu... I’m utterly devoted to Mr. Gu."

Secretary Zhou: "..."

What a fair-weather friend.

A twitch tugged at the corners of Secretary Zhou’s mouth, but he spoke with a satisfied curl of his lips.

"Hmm... Bring it here for a look... If Mr. Gu is satisfied, then it shouldn’t be a problem."

"Alright... This is the USB drive; I carry these pieces of evidence with me at all times."

One must always have something up their sleeve, and Sister Wang, having mingled in the upper echelons for many years, understood this very well.

Dong Qin, who lay gasping like a dying fish, darkened her gaze even further upon hearing this.

That bitch, Sister Wang.

I will not let her off...

...

Secretary Zhou took the USB drive from Sister Wang’s hand, quickly opened it with the laptop he carried with him, and sent the contents to Gu Mochen’s private email, at the same time respectfully sending Gu Mochen a text message.
