Beautiful genius Chinese medicine practitioner and clingy CEO

Governor Tao stayed to cooperate with the police's questioning, while Gu Shanzhi and others went to the ward to visit Xiaofang. When they pushed the door open, they saw Xiaofang lying on the bed with empty eyes, her face pale, an IV in her hand, and the wrist of her other hand was wrapped with several layers of bandages, but blood could be vaguely seen on the bandages.

Fang Yuan's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear to look at Xiaofang after just one glance. She was now like a broken doll, without a trace of life. She was completely different from the lively and cheerful girl at dinner yesterday. Such a big change had taken place in a person in just one night.

Gu Shanzhi walked to Xiaofang's bedside and gently placed his hand on her wrist. Xiaofang immediately and quickly withdrew her hand. This was obviously a stress response. Her action also stimulated the needle hole to start bleeding. Gu Shanzhi whispered, "Xiaofang, it's me, Doctor Gu. Don't be afraid. Let me take your pulse, okay? I won't hurt you."

Xiaofang heard Gu Shanzhi's voice, turned around and saw Gu Shanzhi, and tears started to flow. Gu Shanzhi gently put his hand on Xiaofang's wrist and began to take her pulse.

Xiaofang had lost too much blood, was depressed, had liver qi stagnation, and was frightened, so her pulse was quite disordered. Even Gu Shanzhi frowned. Xiaofang's will to survive was not strong.

"Xiaofang, listen to me. You must stay strong and live on. You must see that the bad guys are punished. Then you can start a new life and forget about this incident."

Xiaofang had nothing to say except tears in her eyes. Seeing this, Gu Shanzhi felt very unhappy and said to her, "Don't worry, Xiaofang, I will definitely cure you, and then we will watch that bastard go to jail and get the punishment he deserves."

After staying for a while, Gu Shanzhi took Zheng Fan and Fang Yuan out of the ward.

As soon as she left the ward, Fang Yuan couldn't help herself and started to speak angrily, "I am so angry. If that scumbag wasn't in the police station, I would really rush in and beat him up. He harmed such a good girl. And Chen Shuhua is the same. She taught her son to be like this. She doesn't deserve to be a mother."

Zheng Fan's mood was not much better. Xiaofang was smiling brightly when they parted last night, but she became lifeless today. This was a huge shock to him.

Thinking of Lu Xun's words, he quickly said to Gu Shanzhi, "Madam, the boss said that we can do our best to assist Governor Tao and make sure to keep his position. He is innocent."

"Well, I believe other people have their own judgments and ideas."

Chen Shuhua was going through the formalities for her son at the police station, but when she learned that bail was really not allowed in this case, Chen Shuhua became extremely anxious, so she went to find Governor Tao. Governor Tao ignored her at all and directly arranged for his assistant to keep an eye on the matter, demanding that it be handled impartially and that justice be done to the victim.

Zheng Fan asked the lawyers from the Lu Group to come to Beicheng to serve as Xiaofang's defense lawyers. Chen Shuhua had already seen how powerful the Lu Group's legal team was during the last divorce case. She felt nervous when she saw that it was the same lawyers again this time.

The lawyer hired by Chen Shuhua told her that if the victim was willing to settle out of court and resolve the matter privately, Tao Jiaxuan would not be prosecuted, so Chen Shuhua turned her attention to Xiaofang.

She came to the ward with a basket of fruits and a pot of soup. When Xiaofang saw her, she became very excited. She didn't want to see anyone related to Tao Jiaxuan again, as this would remind her of what happened that night.

Seeing Xiaofang so excited, Chen Shuhua quickly put down her things and said to her, "Xiaofang, I have no ill will towards you. I just came to visit you."

Xiaofang ignored her, and Chen Shuhua didn't feel embarrassed. She continued to talk to herself: "Xiaofang, I know you also work because your family is not well off. This time it was my son who was wrong. He was drunk and made a mistake. How about this, if you are willing to settle out of court, I can give you some money. With this money, you can also help support the family. This is good for both of us. What do you think?"

Xiaofang was shocked by Chen Shuhua's shamelessness and said to her angrily, "Get out." Then she threw the cup on the bedside table at Chen Shuhua, hoping to drive her away.

Chen Shuhua originally thought that Xiaofang came from the countryside and had no money. If she could give her money, Xiaofang would definitely be willing to reconcile. However, she did not expect Xiaofang to be so stubborn.

But for the sake of her son, she would not give up easily. She said to Xiaofang: "I can give you 500,000 yuan. This amount of money is better than what you can earn working in the Tao family for several years. What do you think?"

When Xiaofang saw Chen Shuhua like this, she thought of that night when Tao Jiaxuan rushed into her room with a group of people, tied her up and said to her: "You are just a country girl. It's your blessing that I like you. If you serve me and my brothers well, I can give you some money."

Chen Shuhua's face looked exactly like Tao Jiaxuan's that night. When Xiaofang saw her like this, she recalled the painful experience that night. She struggled and asked for help but to no avail.

Xiaofang became even more agitated. She threw everything she could at hand at Chen Shuhua. Chen Shuhua hurriedly said, "80, I'll increase it to 80 for you. You are just from the village and you have never seen so much money in your life. 80 is already a huge sum of money for your family. I just hope that my son can be kept safe."

"Get lost. I don't want your money. I just want that bastard to be punished."

Seeing that she couldn't deal with Xiaofang, Chen Shuhua could only take her fruit and soup and leave the ward, cursing at her as she left, saying that Xiaofang was greedy and a bitch.

She told the hired lawyer about Xiaofang's disagreement. The lawyer also felt that this case was very difficult. The victim was willing to come forward to testify against them, and several of them left evidence on Xiaofang's body. After the doctor's tests, it was impossible to refute it.

The lawyer looked at Chen Shuhua and said, "If the other party is unwilling to settle out of court, I think this case will basically be settled. According to his situation and our country's criminal law, such behavior needs to be sentenced to more than ten years, and in serious cases, it may be sentenced to life imprisonment."

"But my son just slept with a country girl after getting drunk. He shouldn't be sentenced to ten years in prison." Chen Shuhua's legs went weak when she heard what the lawyer said.

The lawyer gave her some basic knowledge of my country's criminal law: "If he was the only one who committed the crime, it would indeed be less than ten years, probably two or three years, and if you are willing to pay some money, you can get away with it. But his case involves more than two people committing the crime, so the minimum sentence is ten years in prison."

"No, if he is sentenced to more than ten years, what future will my son have when he is released?" Chen Shuhua was almost crying.

"So if the parties involved are not willing to reconcile, this matter will be difficult to handle. As far as I know, the other party has sent a professional team of lawyers. Everyone in China knows about the Lu Group. Their team of lawyers has never lost a case. I advise you to obtain the victim's forgiveness as soon as possible before the police initiate prosecution."

The lawyer really had no choice. A few hooligans did such a thing, but the other party was not afraid of trouble. They were not afraid of what would happen if the matter was made public and insisted on sue these people. If Chen Shuhua had not offered a high price, he would not want to take the case. This was a loss for sure. There were witnesses and evidence, and he could only pray that the other party would withdraw the lawsuit.

But the probability of this is very low.
