My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 173: 173: Just Want Her to Go to Jail_1

Afterwards, Old Ma said,

“Besides, Miss Ye even drugged you!”

However, before he could finish his last two words, Ye Mengyan let out a sharp scream.

Before I could react, Gu Yuanzhou suddenly stood up and rushed over.

I turned my head to see that Ye Mengyan had fallen on the ground. Her legs were convulsing nonstop, she was rolling her eyes and frothing at the mouth.

Just in time, an employee entered the room, immediately saying, “President Gu, she’s having a seizure. Let me try!”

This employee seemed to have the experience, she half-kneeled on the ground, found a towel, and stuffed it into Ye Mengyan’s mouth.

She also helped her unbutton her blouse.

A few minutes later, Ye Mengyan stopped convulsing.

Gu Yuanzhou then carried her to the sofa.

The employee nearby reminded him,

“Miss Ye’s condition was probably triggered by stress, I recommend not stressing her out anymore and take her to the hospital to have a look.”

Gu Yuanzhou nodded, “You go call an ambulance.”

Although the symptoms of Ye Mengyan’s seizures had died down, she lay motionless on the sofa.

I felt something was off and reminded Gu Yuanzhou on the spot, “Epilepsy is a hereditary disease, it’s not life-threatening.”

It was only then that Gu Yuanzhou quickly glanced at me.

“I know what you want to say, but let’s call it a day for now…”

Of course, I wasn’t ready to let it go, I’d gone through so much trouble to find evidence, why would I want to give it up now.

“President Gu, Wu Lijuan was nearly killed by poisoning, are you really going to let the culprit go?”

“I said already, Mengyan is feeling unwell at the moment. Not now, we’ll talk about it later.”

“Later? When is later?”

“Why are you being so unreasonable? Can’t you see the situation at hand?”

I could feel Gu Yuanzhou’s anger rising.

His voice became stern, his tone anxious, I am tempted to believe that if he didn’t hold a bit of affection for me.

He would lash out at any moment.

However, seeing his reaction only confirmed in my eyes, he was deliberately protecting Ye Mengyan.

“Alright, since President Gu doesn’t want to deal with this, I guess I’ll have to call the police. I trust the police has sharp eyes and they can figure everything out.”

I picked up my mobile phone, just about to dial for police, when

Gu Yuanzhou stopped me.

“What relation are you to Wu Lijuan, why are you so eager to help her against Mengyan?”

“She is my…”

I almost blurted out that she is my aunt. But I realized, saying those words now seemed pointless.

“It doesn’t matter who she is, what matters is, Ye Mengyan hired someone to kill me. She wants me dead, should I call the police or just wait to die?”

I argued my case, snatching the phone from Gu Yuanzhou and dialed the police immediately.

Gu Yuanzhou did not expect me to be so decisive.

He was unable to stop me in time.

Before the police arrived, the ambulance had come first.

After Gu Yuanzhou had Ye Mengyan carried to the ambulance, he came looking for me.

At that moment, two police officers had just arrived.

Gu Yuanzhou immediately showed his identity,

“Officers, please have a cup of tea first. There’s a bit of a situation here, let me handle it first.”

“Please hurry!”

“Alright!”

After settling the police officers, Gu Yuanzhou took me to a lounge, shutting the door behind us.

“What do you want?”

“Do you believe that Ye Mengyan hired someone to kill me?”

“Believe it or not, that’s not important right now. Let’s deal with the current situation first, whether it’s Wu Lijuan or you. You came to me about this because you’re expecting a certain outcome.”

I was silent for three seconds,

“Whether it’s poisoning or hiring thugs, it’s all crimes. I want to put her in jail!”

Gu Yuanzhou took a deep breath, he picked up the cigarette box on the desk, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it with a lighter.

He took a deep puff.

Although he said nothing at the moment, I could see that he must be in great torment.

He cared about Ye Mengyan a lot, probably couldn’t bear to see her go to jail.

“Is President Gu trying to shield her?”

I mocked with a scornful laugh.

Gu Yuanzhou was silent for a few minutes. When he finished his cigarette, he looked at me,

“The company’s new product has just been launched. If Ye Mengyan is arrested, and the negative news comes out. It’ll adversely affect the company’s stock price… I know she’s made a mistake. Later I’ll talk to her, if the evidence is confirmed, I’ll definitely punish her. But not now, now is not the time, you should know, a lot of media outlets are watching me. As you just saw, there are reporters outside the company building.”

I hesitated.

Zhenyi Company is what I care about the most now.

Although I wanted to punish Ye Mengyan, I didn’t want to jeopardize the company I’ve worked so hard to build up.

I had to compromise for now.

“I can get the police to leave for now, but, I hope you withdraw Ye Mengyan’s endorsement at the press conference tomorrow. Otherwise, she will be arrested sooner or later, which would still affect the company.”

Only then did Gu Yuanzhou look at me, “I can agree to that condition.”

“I don’t want to wait too long!”

“It won’t be long…”

Seeing Gu Yuanzhou make such a concession, I believed him.

I went outside to explain that the call to the police was a misunderstanding.

After the police left, a sense of relief washed over Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes.

I saw the gossip reporters who were still gathered around the main gate, all dispersed.

The next morning.

When I arrived at the company, I found that the huge billboard that used to stand at the company’s entrance had been dismantled.

All the other posters and publicity photos of Ye Mengyan in the company were also taken down.

The company’s employees were all discussing.

“What do you think happened to Miss Ye? Why did they take down her advertising?”

“Hey, I think she never really matched this new outfit to begin with, if she had been chosen, our new product would have flopped.”

“Maybe President Gu finally came to his senses!”

“Honestly, Miss Ye isn’t professional at all. If it wasn’t for President Gu protecting her, she would definitely not have qualified.”

I casually tuned in, seems like the majority of the employees in the company shared the same good taste as me.

Then, I went to the conference room and saw Gu Yuanzhou was holding a press conference.

I just stood by the window, quietly listening.

Until the end of the conference, I didn’t hear Gu Yuanzhou announcing Ye Mengyan as the spokesperson. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as Gu Yuanzhou was about to leave, a reporter stopped him, “Mr. Gu, may I interview you?”

Gu Yuanzhou stopped and looked at him, “Go ahead!”

“We heard rumors yesterday that your company’s new product would be modeled and endorsed by Miss Ye Mengyan. In fact, when we came over yesterday, we saw a huge billboard at the company’s entrance. May I ask, why did you decide to cancel Miss Ye’s endorsement for the new product?”

This reporter is gutsy, stirring up trouble right where it hurts! He even dared to poke at Gu Yuanzhou’s sore point.
