This sudden turn of events startled Wen Shengsheng. She looked at Gong Xiaochen, took a deep breath, and tried to speak in a calm tone.

"I didn't push her, she pushed herself..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gong Xiaochen had already bent down to look at Xu Zhiwei.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

The low tone of his voice made Wen Shengsheng's heart clench.

Xu Zhiwei grabbed Gong Xiaochen's collar and looked up so that Gong Xiaochen could clearly see the scars on her face.

"Xiao Chen, don't blame Miss Wen. She didn't push me on purpose. I really shouldn't have come here. She's right. I was shameless and foolish..."

"But Arui hit me as soon as he came back. I really don't know what to do, so I came to you hoping you can help me."

"I didn't mean to disturb you and Miss Wen."

As she spoke, she slumped into Gong Xiaochen's arms, her pale face starkly displaying the bright red wounds. At the same time, tears slid down her cheeks at just the right moment, making her all the more pitiful.

Gong Xiaochen frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that Gong Xiaochen was about to believe Xu Zhiwei, Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but speak up again, "I didn't say those things, and I didn't push her..."

Gong Xiaochen did not respond to her, but instead picked Xu Zhiwei up in his arms.

"Come with me to the hospital."

He seemed to have no intention of listening to Wen Shengsheng's explanation and made his decision directly.

Wen Shengsheng clenched her fists immediately, and her face paled.

But Xu Zhiwei was indeed injured, and the injury looked quite serious. They had just had another argument, so it was only right that she go to the hospital with her.

Wen Shengsheng didn't say anything more. She didn't even have time to change her slippers before following Gong Xiaochen out of the villa in her pajamas.

Xu Zhiwei cried and whimpered the whole way, while Gong Xiaochen kept making phone calls, seemingly asking about someone's whereabouts.

They seemed quite anxious.

Wen Shengsheng sat in the front row, and only now did she belatedly realize the pain in the spot on her arm where Xu Zhiwei had just scratched her.

She kept pressing it without saying a word.

When they arrived at the hospital, Xie Yi had already been waiting for a long time.

"Sigh, this hospital is practically your private hospital now. It's always someone falling down or getting sick."

Xie Yi gestured for Xu Zhiwei to lie down on the medical bed, and a nurse pushed her into the examination room.

Just before entering, Gong Xiaochen said to Wen Shengsheng and the two bodyguards behind her.

"Don't go in, wait here."

Then he glanced at Wen Shengsheng, who looked uneasy, and went into the consultation room.

In the clinic.

Xie Yi has already begun examining Xu Zhiwei.

Xu Zhiwei was indeed badly injured. One side of her cheek was swollen and bluish-purple. Her slender arms were covered with crisscrossing purplish-red scratches, some of which were broken and faintly bleeding. Some areas had already begun to scab over, indicating that it had been there for some time.

But the most striking feature was the ring of marks around her neck, dark red marks deeply embedded in her skin. Judging from their thickness and force, one could tell how much pain Xu Zhiwei was in when she was strangled.

Xie Yi and Gong Xiaochen's expressions both turned serious.

"Has Su Rui gone mad? How could he beat you up like this?" Xie Yi couldn't help but say.

“As soon as he came back, he locked me in the house and wouldn’t let me go out. He would beat me when he got drunk.” Xu Zhiwei’s expression turned panicked when she mentioned him. “He’s a pervert. He only knows how to beat and scold me to vent his anger.”

She looked at Gong Xiaochen and said, "I secretly called you that night because I couldn't take the beating anymore. I was really scared. If you hadn't called my older brother, I would have died that night!"

"My parents don't dare to offend the Su family now, so we can't count on them. The only one who can help me is you, Xiao Chen. Please save me for the sake of our past relationship."

Xu Zhiwei grabbed Gong Xiaochen's hand, her face full of pleading.

Looking at her covered in wounds, Gong Xiaochen couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

If it weren't for him, Xu Zhiwei would never have met Su Rui.

“I never intended to let Su Rui go. Now tell me everything you know about Su Rui,” Gong Xiaochen said reassuringly, then, as if remembering something, asked, “How did you get to Beijing?”

“He went out last night and hasn’t come home yet, so I figured out how to escape from home. I secretly asked someone for help and finally managed to get to Beijing to find you.”

"Last night? He didn't come home all night?" Gong Xiaochen frowned.

"correct."

Upon hearing Xu Zhiwei's affirmation, Gong Xiaochen was startled, as if he had sensed something, and quickly walked out of the consultation room.

The moment I pushed open the door, the corridor was completely empty.

Wen Shengsheng has long since disappeared!

The two bodyguards have also disappeared.

His heart sank sharply, and even Gong Xiaochen's tall body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Wen Shengsheng!"

He strode quickly down the corridor, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, calling out her name loudly.

"Wen Sheng..."

Ring ring ring....

The phone rang abruptly.

Chen Ze's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Young Master Gong, your guess is correct. Su Rui has indeed come to Beijing, using the Su family's private jet. I am currently checking the exact location of the private jet."

Chen Ze's words completely shattered Gong Xiaochen's lingering hope.

"What's wrong? Where's Miss Wen?" Xie Yi asked as he came out.

"Find Su Rui even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!" Gong Xiaochen's eyes had turned bloodshot, and his murderous aura spread outwards uncontrollably.

Xie Yi, who was standing next to him, was so frightened that he trembled.

After hanging up the phone, Gong Xiaochen turned to Xie Yi and said, "Sheng Sheng is in trouble. Get all the surveillance footage from your hospital, just the last half hour."

Xie Yi immediately realized something was wrong and quickly called the security office to retrieve all the videos related to Wen Shengsheng from that time period.

It was eventually discovered that a nurse had noticed Wen Shengsheng's arm was bleeding and took her to the examination room next door. A few minutes later, the nurse pushed a medical bed out of the examination room.

Wen Shengsheng never came out again.

Gong Xiaochen and Xie Yi rushed into the consultation room, but only saw two unconscious bodyguards on the ground; there was no sign of Wen Shengsheng.

Gong Xiaochen's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty coldness. "She's on that hospital bed just now. Investigate that nurse!"

*

Wen Shengsheng never expected that the kind-hearted nurse would change her attitude as soon as she entered the ward.

Not only was he skilled, kicking and jumping, but he also took the opportunity to pull out a handkerchief and cover her mouth and nose.

She lost consciousness in just a few seconds.

Subconsciously, she immediately realized that the nurse might be one of Su Rui's people.

But when she finally came to her senses, she found herself taped to a chair, while Su Rui was looking at her with a smile.

Wen Shengsheng's hair immediately stood on end.

"It's been a long time, Sheng Sheng."
