C77 (2/2)
”Just lie down. If you dare to move, I won't let you off lightly.” After Yi Yuanze finished speaking, he walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Returning to the living room, Yi Yuanze stood by the window, furrowed his brows, and made a call.
”Director Yi, you …”
”Listen up. I don't care what method you use, but before you get off work tomorrow, today's incident at the downtown hospital will be solved by you.”
”What is it?” The man on the other end of the line asked in surprise, but then realized that he had misspoken, and anxiously said: ”Ok, Director Yi, I will investigate this as soon as possible, and settle this in the shortest possible time.”
”Settle this thing down by tomorrow, or else you'll scram from Yi family.” Yi Yuanze did not care how much manpower or resources he had to spend, he just wanted to quickly resolve this issue. He did not want to see Meng Yunhan getting injured again.
The man on the other end of the line kept saying good words before he heard the sound of the phone being hung up.
When Yi Yuanze walked into the room again, he was already asleep. She was frowning and he looked to be in pain.
At first, he was not interested in being called. However, seeing that the man kept on calling, forcing him to do so, he could only answer the phone.
”Hello, is something the matter?” Gu Jing's face was filled with impatience, but his tone sounded very calm.
Liu Ming suddenly laughed and said, ”What? Brother Jing, when you need my help, your attitude isn't like this? ”
”There doesn't seem to be any problem between us right now, does there?” Since his unscheduled appearance this afternoon, a prelude to parting had been prepared between them.
”I'm not going to beat around the bush with you, so I'll be honest. I can stop as soon as possible, or I can stop appearing, but I need to double the amount of money that was previously agreed upon.”
After hearing this, Gu Jing could not help but laugh, and then asked: ”Are you sure you're negotiating terms with me? Have you thought it through clearly? What qualifications do you have to talk to me? ”
Brother Jing, we have something to discuss. Before, I was doing everything according to your instructions. But now, I don't think it's excessive to ask for twice the amount of money.
I'll give you two options right now. First, take the money I gave you and disappear, no matter how far you go, you better not appear in this city again. Second, I won't give you a single cent. Gu Jing didn't like people bargaining with him, and even more so didn't like the feeling of lifting a rock to smash his own feet. Now, he just wanted to quickly resolve this issue, if not, his plans would really be affected because of this man.
Hearing Gu Jing's attitude, Liu Ming became angry, and said fiercely: ”You want me to spend the rest of my life in jail, do you have any evidence? If you understand that my father died in your hospital, and the responsibility lies with your hospital, and you don't forget, there was cooperation between us before. If you really turn hostile, then I will also tell you.
”You're wrong, your father didn't die in our hospital, he died in your hands, you did something yourself, you should know it better than me, don't guess whether I have the evidence or not, I can tell you clearly, I have more chips than you can imagine, if you do as I say, we can still maintain a cooperative relationship, as long as you don't cause trouble for me, and I will guarantee your father's death, no one else will know.”
”Why should I believe you?”
Gu Jing coldly snorted, and asked: ”Do you think you have a choice now? ”Maybe you could also bet and see if I can keep you in jail for the rest of your life.”
The man on the other end of the phone suddenly became silent, and Gu Jing was not anxious either, because three months ago, Gu Jing had indeed seen Liu Ming personally kill his own father. However, he did not have any substantial evidence, and the only thing he could do now was to gamble.
”Alright, I'll agree to your request. However, you must promise that no one else will know about that matter.” In the end, Liu Ming still compromised. Compared to money, he felt that his life was more important.
A crafty smile appeared on Gu Jing's face as he said: ”Don't worry, as long as you disappear from this city and don't appear again, I guarantee that no one else will know about the real cause of your father's death. Furthermore, I guarantee that no one will miss a single cent of the money that you receive.”
”Alright, I will leave tomorrow and will not appear again. Since the performance is over, you can come look for me again in the future.” He seemed to not want to have any contact with Gu Jing, accurately speaking, he did not want Gu Jing to use that matter to threaten him again.
”Don't worry, I'll keep my promise.” After hanging up the phone, Gu Jing could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Some people were born suspicious, and some people were afraid of death.
Originally, he only wanted to distract Meng Yunhan with this matter so that he wouldn't ask and question him about what happened five years ago. He didn't think that she would be injured, and didn't think that she would almost be bitten by someone else just because of something that happened today. Thinking about everything that happened today, Gu Jing didn't sleep for a long time.
That night, Meng Yunhan could not remember how many times she had been woken up by the pain in her sleep, and she had not slept for an entire night. From start to finish, he had been sitting on the edge of the bed, guarding Meng Yunhan.
