After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Wen Ya gave the address, and Zheng Yuanxi didn't say much. After hanging up the phone, she glanced at Gu Zhiyao's ward with deep hatred a few more times before leaving the hospital.

When He Yi entered Gu Zhiyao's ward, Lin Yu was immediately stunned. Seeing his injuries, she was deeply moved.

Gu Zhiyao, on the other hand, had been staring at He Yi intently ever since he appeared.

Quan Xinyu suddenly winked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then said to Gu Zhiyao, "I'm going out to answer a phone call."

Then he went out with Quan Xinyu.

Only He Yi and Gu Zhiyao remained in the room, standing about two meters apart, gazing at each other silently.

A moment later, the two asked in unison, "Are you alright?"

Everyone felt a slight flutter in their hearts.

Then, Gu Zhiyao asked, "Have you caught Wen Shiren?"

"Not yet. There used to be a tunnel in that secret room, and he escaped from there. But I've already sent people to continue the investigation and search for evidence of his crimes."

Gu Zhiyao paused for a moment.

He Yi stared at her, the scene from back then flashing through his mind, and suddenly asked, "Why did you call me Brother He Yi back in the tunnel?"

In fact, Gu Zhiyao didn't remember much about what happened back then. She was seriously injured and her mind was not very clear after being abused by Wen Ya. She even forgot the part where Wen Shiren took liberties with her.

But she vaguely knew that he and she were trapped together, and she even heard him calling her name repeatedly, saying that he had come to save her.

At that moment, she actually called him Brother He Yi again?

Besides that name, what else did she say to him?

Did you mention what happened thirteen years ago?

Shouldn't it be?

"Why aren't you answering me?" He Yi asked again when she didn't answer for a long time.

Gu Zhiyao composed herself and said casually, "Really? That's what I called you back then? I don't know why, maybe I was confused and just blurted it out. It didn't mean anything, don't take it to heart."

"Gu Zhiyao!" He Yi raised his voice slightly, somewhat annoyed.

Gu Zhiyao smiled nonchalantly again, "Mr. He, although I don't know why you came to save me, I still want to thank you. And I'm sorry for getting you injured. Consider it... compensation for me losing my child. We're completely even now. But you won't let them get away with hurting you like this, will you? You'll definitely bring them to justice?"

He Yi remained silent, his eyes still filled with anger and even a bit of irritation as he looked at her. He was still agonizing over what had just happened, but she didn't seem to care at all. He couldn't help but recall the previous two times when she had been just as nonchalant, using being out of her mind as an excuse.

Gu Zhiyao looked at his somewhat cold and aloof expression, and as she recalled being trapped in the secret room with him, facing danger and death together, a glimmer of light suddenly ignited in her heart.

Just then, He Yi's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and then answered the call.

"Ayi, I can leave from my aunt's place around four o'clock. Then I'll go back to the hospital to see you. What would you like to eat? I'll bring it to you." Zheng Yuanxi's gentle and soft voice came through the phone.

He Yi's expression softened unconsciously. "You don't need to bring anything, just come over. Be careful and don't rush."

"Okay, then you should rest. We'll talk again when we meet."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, He Yi put away his phone and looked at Gu Zhiyao again.

Gu Zhiyao naturally guessed who had called earlier, after all, the image that could make him suddenly become gentle was too deep for her to forget—that was the look in his eyes that he only had for Zheng Yuanxi.

The light that had just ignited in her eyes dimmed instantly, as if a sharp blade had pierced her heart.

She thought she didn't care anymore, but in fact she couldn't let go at all. Was it because this accident rekindled her unrealistic hopes?

Gu Zhiyao gave a bitter, self-deprecating smile and resolutely said to him, "President He, you should go back. I have something to discuss with my friend."

He Yi frowned slightly, looking at her with displeasure.

Gu Zhiyao seemed oblivious to his displeasure and picked up the new phone Lin Yu had just prepared for her to call Lin Yu.

Lin Yu entered, glanced at the strange atmosphere, her expression changed slightly, and then she silently walked up to Gu Zhiyao.

Quan Xinyu, who followed closely behind, also sensed the strange atmosphere. Then he saw He Yi walk outside without saying a word. Although he was puzzled, he hurriedly followed him out.

"Did you two have a disagreement just now?" Lin Yu asked Gu Zhiyao.

Gu Zhiyao didn't answer, but whispered, "Ayu, tell me, was Zheng Yuanxi involved in this?"

Lin Yu was taken aback. "You suspect that Wen Ya was instructed by Zheng Yuanxi? Or that Wen Ya instigated and used Zheng Yuanxi, and Zheng Yuanxi went along with it to join forces with Wen Ya to get rid of you?"

"I don't know. After losing my baby last time, I completely lost all hope in her. I realized that she might not be a good person!" Gu Zhiyao said quietly.

"That's right. How could people from wealthy families be truly kind and harmless? Zheng Yuanxi and He Yi have always been role models that everyone envies. They feel that you ruined their perfect relationship and they hate you. They want to get rid of you, this thorn in their side. Moreover, they are afraid that you and He Yi will have some lingering connection in the future."

"Still connected? Do you think so?" Gu Zhiyao recalled He Yi's gentleness when he answered Zheng Yuanxi's call earlier and gave a bitter, cold laugh.

Lin Yu swallowed hard and then fell silent.

Although she didn't know what Zhiyao and He Yi had talked about, she guessed that the two must have fallen out. But for some reason, looking at He Yi's expression just now, Lin Yu had a strange feeling. She suddenly felt that He Yi might not be completely without feelings for Gu Zhiyao!

Moreover, He Yi risked his life to save Gu Zhiyao this time.

Is it just that he feels guilty for causing Gu Zhiyao to lose her child last time, and wants to save Gu Zhiyao's life to make up for the accident last time?

But I always felt that wasn't the case.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't tell Gu Zhiyao these thoughts. No matter what, she didn't want Gu Zhiyao and He Yi to have any further involvement. Gu Zhiyao had finally gotten a little out of this painful relationship, and she might still have feelings for He Yi. If He Yi treated her even a little bit better, she would definitely fall deeply in love again.

After all, her love for He Yi was too deep!

So why should she make a statement?

Let Zhiyao figure it out herself.

However, Gu Zhiyao deliberately avoided He Yi after that, and He Yi did not come again. Quan Xinyu did come twice, both times to inquire about Gu Zhiyao's situation and to ask about the circumstances of when Wen Ya took her away.

"Assistant Quan, do you have enough evidence to arrest them?" Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but ask.
