Chapter 76 Part 2 一 Ruan Yōu is a person protected by the Top Wealthy Octet together!
Did making a big fuss benefit her?
No.
It didn’t benefit Bozhan or herself.
She even had to come forward and admit everything because she had to protect her brother and parents.
There were clearly a hundred ways to resolve this, but she chose the path that was least favorable for her.
Half an hour after the incident started to escalate, a retweet set the internet on fire, topping Weibo’s trending topics.
【@Sheng Tong: I’m sorry for the delay, due to time zones and my lack of experience with Weibo. The post that should have been out half an hour ago is now appearing before you all.
I am Gu Min’s former girlfriend, and all the evidence and audio circulating online come from me. A long time ago, I thought about speaking out, using the truth to expose Gu Min, and making this thoroughly wicked person shed his hypocritical facade, exposing him to the world.
But Gu Min threatened my parents, he demanded that I keep the secret, just like he forcibly took me to a small clinic to have an abortion, with the child in my womb flowing out, he made me promise to remain silent forever, until I found someone willing to help me. To be precise, I found her myself.
She asked me how I wanted to punish him, how I could find some peace.
I knew that Gu Min appeared honest on the surface, but in reality, he hid his true self and cared most about his status and reputation. I wanted him to experience the despair of having his “happy life about to shatter before his eyes” in front of the whole internet. So, I expressed my hope that he would suffer a devastating defeat in front of the entire world, letting everyone know his true face.
She did indeed do that. But it seems I caused her some trouble, too. She helped me a lot, protected my parents, and gave Gu Min the punishment he deserved according to my wishes.
I am very grateful to her. I am about to return to China, and all the evidence has been collected. She has found a lawyer to help me with the lawsuit.
Evil will not be protected, he will receive the punishment he deserves.】
With this short essay, everyone finally understands why Ruan Yōu did what she did.
Ruan Yōu only acted in accordance with the victim’s request, ensuring that the perpetrator received the deserved punishment.
【Ruan Yōu, you’re amazing QAQ】
【Ugh, what a disgusting person! Threatening with parents, just get lost!】
【Will he really go to jail? Please, he’s the kind of person who deserves to spend a lifetime behind bars.】
【Ruan Yōu, give him some more punishment!】
Now, Gu Min indeed faced the consequences.
His most beloved and cherished career was ruined overnight, and no one knew where he had fled. The police received a report from Sheng Tong and the evidence provided by the lawyer but couldn’t find him, he had disappeared without a trace.
Forcing others to have an abortion was illegal.
The police visited Ruan Yōu, routinely inquiring about the source of the evidence and the details of the incident.
“We hope you can assist the police. If you have any information about him, please notify us immediately.”
Ruan Liuyu nodded.
After they left, Ruan Yōu regretfully tapped her forehead with her index finger.
“What’s wrong?” Ruan Liuyu asked with concern.
Ruan Yōu: “I didn’t expect him to run away. I should have had someone watch him at all times.”
Ruan Liuyu smiled gently, stroked the faint red mark on Ruan Yōu’s fair forehead caused by her own finger, and hesitated for a moment before softly saying, “In the future, if you encounter such a situation, talk to Mom and Dad first.”
She guessed that her daughter didn’t like Gu Min, and she might do something to embarrass Gu Min, but not to the point of causing a big uproar, at most something that would make people laugh.
But she didn’t expect the situation to become this big.
Ruan Liuyu didn’t criticize her daughter, nor did she think she did anything wrong.
She also didn’t like Gu Min’s family, especially after they tried to disrupt her son Gu Fuchen’s position in Bozhan with their marriage cooperation. Since the other party showed no mercy and had desires written all over their faces, Ruan Liuyu wouldn’t be overly kind to them.
Her life revolved around her family.
Ruan Yōu had no problem helping to expose Gu Min, but…
“Sometimes, Gu Min can be very ruthless in his actions. Until he’s caught, you’ll need to have bodyguards with you when you go out,” Ruan Liuyu added. “I’ve hired a very capable female bodyguard who doesn’t talk much. I’ll have her accompany you during this time.”
Ruan Yōu wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, as if they were in a melodramatic drama, but thinking of her car accident in the novel, she hesitated and nodded.
After the police left, they added Ruan Yōu on WeChat, hoping that if there was something else going on with Sheng Tong, they would be able to reach out.
Thinking about Sheng Tong’s return to the country, Ruan Yōu messaged the police officer, taking it seriously.
【Hello, Sheng Tong is about to return to the country. Should I bring her to the police station for a statement when she’s back?】
【Yes, that’s fine.】
Now the entire Internet paid close attention to this matter. After Gu Min disappeared, there were many people clamoring to quickly capture him and bring him to justice on the spot.
The police were retrieving road surveillance footage, monitoring Gu Min’s phone and related communications in real-time to ensure a quick apprehension.
Ruan Yōu won’t be at ease if Gu Min didn’t get caught.
It’s as if the duck that was in hand flew away.
She couldn’t believe Gu Min would run away and regretted it deeply.
Ruan Liuyu comforted her, “Shi Quan is very capable, he has solved two major cases. We can find you, and with his connections, we’ll find him soon. Don’t worry, locating Gu Min won’t be difficult.”
Ruan Yōu blinked in surprise.
She had never known why her parents suddenly found her more than twenty years after being abducted.
She had wanted to ask before, but was afraid of upsetting her parents. Now that her mother brought it up, she wouldn’t miss the chance to know the answer.
“What did he do?”
Talking about the past, Ruan Liuyu’s eyes deepened. She and Ruan Yōu sat down on the couch, and she slowly said, “He solved two major kidnapping cases. Four months ago, during the interrogation of a gang he busted, they mentioned you.”
“Me? The ones who kidnapped me?”
“Yes. When they got the information during the interrogation, the police quickly called your father and me,” Ruan Liuyu frowned, “but we had some issues at that time and missed the calls. They also called your uncle. He flew overseas to find us and that’s when we learned about this.”
At the time, Gu Youqian was undergoing heart surgery. Ruan Liuyu had her phone on silent, and she didn’t check it for over ten hours, feeling extremely anxious. Meanwhile, Gu Fuchen was on a business trip in Country Y, and the police couldn’t reach him. They used the contact information provided by the Gu family to get in touch with Gu Youqian’s brother.
Ruan Yōu understood.
That’s why Xia Shi came to pick her up.
At that time, there was no one at home.
. . . . .
After chatting with Ruan Liuyu, Ruan Yōu returned to her room and scrolled through Officer Shi Quan’s Moments.
His Moments were not set to expire after six months, so she could see posts from several years ago, most of which were news articles about solved criminal cases.
Ruan Yōu found a news article from four months ago about a human trafficking case that had been solved. The words were filled with happiness and joy.
She found it quite miraculous.
It was this case, these people, that had helped her return home successfully.
Ruan Yōu felt a moment of guilt.
Now that Gu Min’s situation had become such a big deal, the police were surely under immense public pressure. They needed to find Gu Min and solve this case as soon as possible.
Ruan Yōu decided to pick up Sheng Tong tomorrow and accompany her to the police station for a statement, cooperating fully with the officers.
The next day, Ruan Yōu and Lu Xuan, who had come with her to pick up Sheng Tong, arrived at the police station. Sheng Tong went inside alone, while Lu Xuan and Ruan Yōu waited outside.
Two hours later, Sheng Tong emerged, full of energy.
The accompanying officer was surprised and asked, “You can still be so spirited after two hours of questioning?”
Sheng Tong smiled somewhat shyly and replied, “I feel like we can catch him, so I’m happy.”
The officer was momentarily stunned, then chuckled.
He hadn’t expected her happiness to be so straightforward.
This time, when Sheng Tong returned, she revealed some of the violent acts that Gu Min had committed when he forced her to have an abortion. Even though the circumstances amounted to the crime of intentional bodily harm, the forensic examination had determined it to be a minor injury, punishable by up to three years in prison.
Prison was not a good place to stay, life was based on reality.
Inside, there really were places like a boss or something. Upon entering, one could only start by washing dishes. The guards were also newcomers, having just escorted someone from the prison. When he came out, he was covered in lice. When the boss inside was sleeping, he could only crouch nearby. With no money at home, they couldn’t provide for him.
Even though Gu Min had money, what kind of environment could prison offer him?
It restricted his freedom in life, and all his ambitions and hopes would be wasted here.
When Ruan Yōu, Lu Xuan, and Sheng Tong came out together, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “What did they ask you just now?”
Sheng Tong recalled for a moment and said, “It was mostly what I had told Ruan Yōu before, but with more details, down to the time the events occurred. At the time, I had kept records and evidence, but he asked me something else.”
Sheng Tong lowered her voice, “It was probably about the person who helped Gu Min leave.”
Just now, Shi Quan had shown her a photo.
The photo was from a surveillance camera at the engagement party hotel, showing a tall man expressionlessly sitting in the driver’s seat of Gu Min’s car.
“Do you know him?”
Sheng Tong nodded.
“When I was studying abroad, that man was his driver.”
Lu Xuan smiled, “That’s good, with a lead, it should be simple to find him.”
In the midst of the persistently cold weather, suddenly, warm sunlight appeared.
Outside the police station, the sunlight was just right.
The warm and gentle light shone on the faces of the three people, and everything was a new beginning.
Because Mom said Gu Min could be quite crazy at times, Ruan Yōu was worried about leaving Sheng Tong alone. So, she decided to bring her to the Gu family estate for a two-day stay.
Security was tight here, with over a dozen bodyguards on standby at all times, making it very safe.
The old butler arranged a place for Sheng Tong to stay, and Lu Xuan stayed on the 7th floor.
She sat with her head tilted at Ruan Yōu’s office desk, her bright round eyes and hands supporting her head, as she asked with a smile, “Sister Yōuyōu, can I go to your e-sports club?”
Ruan Yōu: ?
“What are you going there for?”
The Spring Festival had ended, and the club had already entered work mode.
Qi Nuo ended his joyful online gaming life and returned to the club to prepare for the upcoming season.
Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, Qi Zhiyan, Lu Jin, and Jiang Huai, the five overlords, were all very busy every day. Ruan Yōu had been dealing with Gu Min’s affairs since the Spring Festival, so she was also very busy. There wasn’t much time for everyone to play games, and only Lu Xuan was left feeling bored.
Lu Xuan found playing games alone uninteresting and didn’t know how to pass the time every day.
She heard that Qi Nuo was returning to the e-sports club for work, and Lu Xuan had a little plan in mind.
After the Spring Festival, Lu Xuan, the little princess, had completely become a gaming enthusiast.
If she couldn’t play online games, playing mobile games would also work.
Most importantly, Lu Xuan realized that Qi Nuo should be her guardian angel.
After receiving the precious bag on New Year’s Day, Lu Xuan had someone check it, and then she discovered that it was prepared by Qi Nuo.
The feeling of having a guardian angel was very comforting.
Now that Qi Nuo has returned to the club for work, there is no opportunity to give her a gift. Lu Xuan, the little princess, didn’t want to miss this chance.
She wanted to stay next to Qi Nuo and experience what it felt like for Qi Nuo to serve her.
After sharing her inner thoughts with Ruan Yōu, Ruan Yōu sighed helplessly and, with a hint of sympathy in her apricot eyes, said, “You really are an expert at taking advantage of opportunities.”
Lu Xuan chuckled, “So, do you allow me to go?”
Lu Xuan volunteered to be her free labor, and Ruan Yōu couldn’t refuse. However, she made a request, “You can’t bother the players usually. They’re there to compete, not to play around. If you go there, you need to find a legitimate job.”
Lu Xuan replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t. I’ll be very serious! Besides, I’ve already figured out what I want to do~”
“What is it?”
“How about managing Weibo?” Lu Xuan shook her phone.
On the screen, the Weibo interface appeared with lots of notifications, and the 999+ unread messages were giving her OCD a headache.
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan raised her head proudly, “I’ve found that I have the potential to be a Weibo manager lately. My Weibo followers have increased a lot, and everyone loves chatting with me, perfectly fulfilling what a Weibo manager should do.”
A scene suddenly appeared in Ruan Yōu’s head: “The little princess is chatting with fans every day on the Weibo of the RG team’s Official Weibo.”
Faced with Lu Xuan’s eager gaze, Ruan Yōu had no ability to refuse.
“Alright, you can go.”
Managing Weibo wasn’t a good job. After losing a match, a large group of people would curse under the official account. Weibo manager was the first to witness all of this, but Ruan Yōu didn’t worry about the little princess being affected.
If they lost the game, she would definitely join the netizens in cursing.
And if the netizens knew that the new Weibo manager was Lu Xuan, maybe they could earn some fans for the club.
After Ruan Yōu agreed, Lu Xuan dragged her to the RG club in the afternoon.
When they left, they happened to run into the two overlords who left early 一 Gu Fuchen and Fu Jiazhan.
Ruan Yōu: “Why are you back so soon?”
Gu Fuchen and Fu Jiazhan were both afraid that Ruan Yōu would be in a bad mood because of yesterday’s Weibo incident, so they had been working at lightning speed these past two days and came to accompany her immediately.
“My work efficiency is high, and I have a lot of free time,” Gu Fuchen didn’t miss any opportunity to praise himself. He glanced at Fu Jiazhan, who was standing beside him without saying a word, paused, casually stroked the cuff of his black suit, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. The overlord filter he had lost seemed to return in an instant, and his voice carried a hint of indescribable pride.
“As for Fu Jiazhan, his company is probably going bankrupt. He has nothing to do every day.”
Fu Jiazhan gave him a casual glance, “Don’t worry, the Fu family will strive just like Bozhan.”
Ruan Yōu didn’t want to watch the quarrels between the primary school, so she interrupted them directly: “Alright, can our little friend Ruan Chenchen and little friend Fu Jiazhan be two mature kids? Stop acting like kindergarten children fighting and showing off every day.”
Fu Jiazhan was momentarily stunned by the words “Little friend Fu Jiazhan” for a while. He didn’t speak for a long time. The corners of his mouth raised a slight curve and he nodded lightly.
Gu Fuchen snorted lightly, “Yōuyōu, where are you and Lu Xuan planning to go?”
Ruan Yōu: “To my e-sports club. The little princess is going to work there, and I’m giving her a ride.”
“The boss personally giving a ride, Lu Xuan, that’s quite the treatment,” Gu Fuchen couldn’t help but envy.
Fu Jiazhan: “I’ll go with you.”
He came over just to accompany Ruan Yōu, and since they were going out, he naturally had to follow.
Gu Fuchen: “I’ll go too.”
The driver’s position was entrusted to Gu Fuchen.
Gu Fuchen sighed, didn’t dare to resist, and earnestly drove the two young ladies.
Just as they got into the car, Sheng Tong rushed out from the western-style building, panting, and ran to the side of the car. Ruan Yōu lowered the car window and asked concernedly, “What’s wrong? Do you want to go out?”
Sheng Tong: “Didn’t you ask me earlier what the person who came to pick up Gu Min looked like?”
Ruan Yōu nodded.
She did ask this, mainly to see what the person looked like in case they appeared in front of her and she could have the bodyguard capture them~
Sheng Tong pulled out a photo from her phone album and handed it to Ruan Yōu, explaining as she showed it, “This person is Gu Min’s driver, but he only worked for a month. Before we broke up, Gu Min sent this driver back to China.”
Having a photo of the driver was purely because when the driver was driving Gu Min to pick her up for a trip, at the airport, the driver got out of the car to move luggage, and Gu Min stood beside the driver making a phone call. She felt that Gu Min looked very handsome at that time and took a picture as a memento.
Ruan Yōu casually glanced down, but when she saw the driver’s appearance clearly, her eyes froze.
This person looked exactly like the brainless fan in the novel who had driven and crashed into her.
