"Please... Please let me go..."
Zhou Yunxi's face was extremely sore. The glass debris on the car window fell off and pierced into her flesh, causing her to twitch in pain.
Another punch landed on the bridge of her nose, and warm blood flowed out of her nasal cavity.
"You little b*stard. I beg you, let me go..."
Xu Yichen ignored her pleas, and his fists continued to pound her face.
"You're a coward who likes to beat women! I'll f*cking fight it out with you!"
"..."
Zhou Yunxi had never experienced so much pain. She could only endure the physical torture.
Xu Yichen didn't say a word. He beat Zhou Yunxi to a pulp, making her almost unrecognizable.
"Help... Help me..."
When Xu Yichen saw that other cars were stopping, he got into his car and drove off. Zhou Yunxi was so angry that she couldn't pass out. In the end, her entire face was beaten into a pig's head.
When the traffic police arrived, they had a hard time clearing the scene. The press also arrived and wanted to interview Zhou Yunxi.
"This lady..."
When the reporters approached Zhou Yunxi for an interview, they were shocked to see how swollen her face was.
"Sir, I want to call the police..."
Zhou Yunxi saw that the person who had assaulted her was no longer at the scene. She grabbed the traffic police's wrist and cried, "This was a deliberate murder attempt. A wretched man caused the accident and assaulted me!"
"Madam, don't be anxious. Tell us the whole story. Do you have any family? Call them over first."
Zhou Yunxi sobbed as she took the policeman's phone and gave Gu Yanwei a call.
"..."
Gu Ruochu was still a little confused after receiving the police officer's call. She deliberately looked at Huo Nanchen, and when his deep gaze met hers, there was a hint of affection in his eyes.
Over the last few days, Huo Nanchen's behavior had changed drastically. His gaze was always following her. He also hugged and kissed her whenever he wanted to, and he did not care about her protests.
Sometimes, it actually felt sweet.
"Mrs. Huo?"
The voice on the phone startled her. Gu Ruochu quickly replied, "Hello, I'm listening."
"Is Xu Yichen your friend?"
"Yes."
"It's like this. Your friend was driving a white Lexus when he hit a lady on the road. The lady accused him of attempted murder. Could you come over to the police station for a moment?"
Both parties had a close relationship with Mrs. Huo.
This was the first time the police officer had encountered such a situation.
Gu Ruochu's heart skipped a beat. She was not sure what was going on. "All right, I'll come over right away."
Xu Yichen had attempted to murder someone?
How could a calm person like Xu Yichen commit murder? The most he could do was sit down and calmly stab the other party twice.
Just as the call ended, Gu Ruochu received a call from Chu Xinlan.
"Ruochu, the police came to the company a while ago and took Xu Yichen away." Chu Xinlan's voice sounded very anxious. "Rong Xiao and I wanted to bail him out, but someone arrived at the police station, and the police didn't allow us to bail him out...
"He was apparently involved in a traffic accident. Later on, he got into a conflict with someone and got into trouble. I can't explain it over the phone. Come here quickly."
At first, Chu Xinlan's tone was calm. However, she suddenly sounded terrified. Gu Ruochu heard someone bark at her over the phone.
"Hey you! Get off the phone!"
"All right, I understand. Don't worry, the traffic police called me. I'll be there right away."
"Ruochu... Come over quickly..."
When Gu Ruochu hung up the phone, she looked around and realized that Huo Nanchen had left.
"Mother, where's Nanchen?"
"He was here a while ago. I think he went out after receiving a call." It was rare for Mrs. Huo to see Ruochu take the initiative to look for her son.
"I have an urgent matter to attend to. I have to leave immediately."
"All right. I'll tell Nanchen." Mrs. Huo replied as she looked at Gu Ruochu with a deep gaze.
