After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 78 Risking Yourself
Before Song Jin'an could react, the middle-aged woman shakily took out a brand-new bank card from her bag.

"This card contains two million given to me by Miss Su."

According to her statement, on the day of the incident, she was organizing cleaning tools in the tool room of the women's restroom. Just as she was about to open the door to go out, she heard a fierce argument outside. She originally wanted to go out and break up the fight, but she did not expect that there were people outside with knives. Moreover, she had elderly parents and young children to take care of, so she did not dare to make a sound and could only hide in the small tool room.

She only dared to sneak out when no one was outside.

She was originally planning to call the police and tell them everything she knew, but... she was just an insignificant cleaner, while the other party were all powerful and wealthy people from high society. She was afraid of getting involved in this mess and dared not make any rash moves. Later, she went online and found that the whole internet was cursing this mute woman, and even her own daughter who was a fan of celebrities was cursing her.

That's why I left that message online. I didn't expect it to get attention. Then I saw private messages from the police and someone who looked like Ms. Su offering two million to cover up the message.

“Two million, I could never earn that much money in my entire life, so…” the middle-aged woman sobbed, wiping away tears through her eyes, “I have elderly parents and children to support, so I gritted my teeth, took the money, and deleted that comment.”

She initially wanted to deny it when she saw Song Jin'an, but in the end she was moved by Song Jin'an's kindness and chose to tell him everything she knew.

"Mrs. Gu, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

After saying that, the middle-aged woman was about to kneel on the ground. Song Jin'an quickly tried to get off the bed to help her up, but the police officers next to her immediately stopped her.

"To err is human, to forgive divine," the policeman said. "You've redeemed yourself through good deeds, so your crimes will cancel each other out and you won't have to go to court."

The police officer was still thinking to himself that he would give the team a good beating when he got back. These kids didn't even see such a big eyewitness on the surveillance footage. They really needed more training. Fortunately, no more serious consequences occurred, and this case was about to be closed.

Meanwhile, standing in the ward, only Gu Xijue listened, his expression growing increasingly grim: "Have you found the bank statements? Is it that these two million were transferred from her account?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jin'an was speechless. What? The evidence was right in his face, and he was still going to turn a blind eye?

Does he still think Su Ruoya is an innocent and pure girl, or does he simply not care whether Su Ruoya is bad or not, and he can accept her even if her heart is rotten?
The police officer handling the case cleared his throat and said, "I have already notified the members of the investigation team who are still in the city. They are already investigating and will have the results in less than half an hour."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Song Jin'an on the hospital bed, and his expression became slightly serious: "Mrs. Gu has made an outstanding contribution to this case. I hope that in the future, there will be more people like Mrs. Gu who will cooperate with the police investigation."

Song Jin'an looked at him and reached out her hand to gesture, but she knew the police wouldn't understand and didn't want Gu Xijue to help translate again. Her phone had also fallen, so she could only gesture with her hand towards the police to indicate that she had a phone. The police understood and handed her the phone. After unlocking it, she was seen typing away on it.

When will a statement be issued to clear my name?
"Once the matter is investigated and clarified, we will issue a statement on social media as soon as possible. Mrs. Gu, please rest assured."

Moreover, a statement had to be issued. This matter has put immense pressure on public opinion nationwide, and people online are filled with anxiety. Netizens have been waiting for an explanation every day, so we also need to give these onlookers an answer.

Song Jin'an nodded and returned the phone to the police. It would be a lie to say she didn't care. She had been cyberbullied online for so long, and all sorts of vile words had been thrown at her. She felt wronged!

After everyone else in the ward had left, only Gu Xijue remained.

She still started gesturing at him.

—Which room is Jiang Ciyu in? I want to go see him; he's injured.

Now, Song Jin'an's impression of Jiang Ciyu, this kind-hearted man, has improved, and she feels that he can be a friend.

When Gu Xijue heard him ask Jiang Ciyu, he put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, "What, you almost came here, and now you're saying you're showing true feelings in adversity?" Then he continued to look down on her with his eyes and said coldly, "Such a dangerous place, and you just came here like that. Should I praise your courage or scold you for being brainless?"

Song Jin'an had only been awake for a short time when she heard the man's barrage of insults. At first, she was somewhat happy to see him come, but now she just wanted to kick him out!
Silence reigned in the simple hospital room.

She looked at the man with a gloomy face and gestured with her hands again.

—You must be very sad, sad that I wasn't the one who stabbed Su Ruoya.

As Gu Xijue watched her gesture, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if his body was very heavy and he could hardly breathe.

He didn't look at the woman, slammed the door shut and left the ward. The door slammed shut so loudly that it made my ears ring.

Song Jin'an understood that Gu Xijue couldn't accept it. He couldn't accept that the woman he had loved for so many years could be so cruel. Or perhaps he was thinking, "She wasn't like this before, so why has she become like this?"

Song Jin'an closed her eyes mockingly. After resting for a while, she decisively got out of bed. Her injuries weren't serious to begin with; she was just a little tired.

Stepping outside, Gu Xijue didn't linger in the corridor. She reached out to stop a nurse holding an IV drip, and just as she was about to gesture, she heard the nurse say, "You want to ask about the gentleman who was brought in with you, right?"

Song Jin'an nodded, and the nurse said, "He's fine, he's getting an IV drip in his room. I'll take you there."

She gestured a thank you, but the nurse neither understood nor paid any attention.

When they arrived at Jiang Ciyu's ward, the man was on his phone. He was wearing a hospital gown, his arm was wrapped in gauze, and an anti-inflammatory IV drip was being applied to the back of his hand. When he saw Song Jin'an arrive, his first words were...

"Congratulations, this trip was well worth it. It proves that you are innocent, just as I thought."

Jiang Ciyu looked at her with a faint smile on his face.

Song Jin'an, on the other hand, started gesturing.

—Thank you. How serious is your injury? Does it still hurt?

—If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have risked your life.

If it weren't for the incredible luck of everyone in the car, they would have really died here. And when the tide recedes, their bodies might still be found somewhere.

"It's not heavy, and it doesn't hurt." Jiang Ciyu looked at her with a smile on his face: "Didn't I come here with you voluntarily? If I die, it's not your fault. You can only blame myself for being so reckless as to come with you."

Song Jin'an still felt uneasy, after all, she almost killed someone.

"Your husband isn't here, is he? If he were, you wouldn't be able to come here."
