Gu Ning had no choice but to say, “l don’t have any money on me right now.
How about I give you an address to collect the money from? Just say it’s…”
Gu Ning hesitated. She dared not reveal herself as the young miss of the Gu family, fearing that these people might gather a mob, and she would end up getting berated and beaten again.
With no other options, Gu Ning searched her whole body and found only an expensive necklace.
She took off the necklace and said to the two salespeople, “How about I give you this necklace as collateral? It’s worth twenty thousand.”
The salesperson coldly smiled and replied, “I’m sorry, but we only accept cash. We’re just employees here, and we hope you won’t make things difficult for us.”
Gu Ning was out of options. After looking around for a moment, she ran out of the store.
The two salespeople, taken by surprise, hurriedly chased after her, shouting,
“Catch the thief! Someone’s stealing clothes!”
Gu Ning felt like a stray dog as she was chased around. In the end, she was caught by one of the salespeople, who grabbed her collar during the struggle.
With a tear, Gu Nings dress was torn, and in her panic, she quickly tried to cover herself, but she was recognized.
The news of the famous star Gu Ning being apprehended in a mall quickly went viral.
At home, Xia Chun was in a state of distress when she saw the news.
But this time, Gu An ignored her, saying there was nothing he could do.
He even issued a statement, expressing his disbelief at the heinous actions of the fostered girl and distancing himself, hoping that the guilty party would be severely punished.
In a quiet teahouse, Gu Chun anxiously asked Shen Xi, “Will Gu Ning be sentenced to death?”
Handling the matter of Gu Ning assaulting Gu Chun was quite complicated.
If Gu Ning were a man, she would undoubtedly be charged with rape, given the video evidence of a pure and innocent girl being violated.
However, Gu Ning was a woman, and Gu Chun herself had not died. Gu Chun’s mother had gone mad but had not died either.
The previous assistant had initially reconciled but later committed suicide.
Shen Xi shook her head and said to the girl across from her, “Aggravated assault, probably more than ten years, but it might not be the death penalty. You should be prepared for that.”
Gu Chun, with her head wrapped in bandages, thought of her still insane mother and felt an overwhelming hatred.
She could not believe that such a malicious person might not be sentenced to death; it was too lenient.
Such a person deserved to be severely punished, even sent to hell.
Shen Xi, aware of the resentment in Gu Chun’s heart, smiled and said, “Sometimes, death is not the most terrifying outcome. Perhaps, living can be more dreadful.”
“l know, but as long as she’s alive, she won’t suffer too much. Someone will always protect her, and let her live comfortably. Xia Chun will protect her, and Gu An will protect Xia Chun, thus indirectly protecting Gu Ning. She might even get out after a short time in jail,” Gu Chun said with clenched fists.
That was the reality of this society. Those with power and influence could still live comfortably even after committing heinous acts.
Shen Xi nodded slightly and said, “You’re right. However, I can help ensure she doesn’t receive any special treatment in prison. But you have to do something for me.”
Gu Chun looked at Shen Xi with bright eyes and said, “As long as she suffers, I’m willing to do anything.”
“Find an opportunity to tell Xia Chun that I orchestrated this whole thing, and as long as I don’t confess, Gu Ning won’t get out. You can say you overheard me discussing it on set,” Shen Xi said.
Gu Chun was puzzled. “Why? Won’t that implicate you?”
Shen Xi took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly, “You don’t need to worry about that. I have my plans. You help me with this, and I will help you sever the connections that Gu Ning had once she goes to prison.”
Gu Chun nodded at Shen Xi.
Shen Xi pushed a dessert platter that the attendant had brought in front of Gu Chun and sighed, “Actually, when I first saw those videos of you, I was quite surprised. You seemed prepared.”
Shen Xi felt a twinge of pity for the girl in front of her, who had to expose her own humiliation online to seek justice.
Even though Gu Chun’s face was pixelated in the videos, it did not mean she could forget about the incident.
Gu Chun smiled bitterly, “Before me, there were so many assistants that Gu Ning wasn’t satisfied with. There was even an incident where someone got severely injured. I had to be cautious. If 1 had a choice, I wouldn’t have become
Gu Nings assistant..”
