Gu Li was terrified to the point of a momentary cardiac arrest when she saw what was happening. She rushed over and grabbed Qiu Shaoze's arm, fearing that Qiu Rong would push him off the high-rise building.
The blow to the head from the stool left Qiu Shaoze dizzy and weak, barely able to muster any strength, feeling like he was about to suffocate as his neck was being choked.
Qiu Rong wanted him dead, so he desperately pushed him towards the edge.
While crying, Gu Li clung to Qiu Shaoze's arm and hurled curses at Qiu Rong, but no matter what, Qiu Rong had only one thought: to strangle Qiu Shaoze to death.
It wasn't until the doctors and nurses rushed over and pulled Qiu Rong away that Qiu Shaoze's life was spared.
Pinned to the ground by everyone, Qiu Rong, still with fury in his eyes, continued to curse at Gu Li and the narrowly surviving Qiu Shaoze: "You all deserve to die!! All of you!! I'll kill you, kill you all!!! Let go! Let me go!"
Doctor: "Call the police! Call them now!"
The security guards also quickly came in and took the frenzied Qiu Rong away.
Qiu Rong was still unyielding, clawing and threatening to kill them all.
Qiu Shaoze's head was still bleeding, his face covered in blood, which was a horrifying sight for everyone.
Gu Li kept slapping Qiu Shaoze's face: "Shaoze, Shaoze, are you okay? Don't scare your mom."
However, Qiu Shaoze just opened his eyes briefly before fainting, with a shocking ring of bruises around his neck, but he wasn't coughing.
This made the doctors and nurses on the scene anxious once again.
Seeing Qiu Shaoze's lifeless appearance, no one dared to delay any longer, becoming frantic: "Someone come quick! Get him to the emergency room!"
And so, Qiu Shaoze was hurriedly wheeled into the emergency room.
Across from them in another building, many were peering out of the windows, watching the commotion, among them was He Ju.
He Ju sighed slightly when he saw that Qiu Rong had failed: "What a pity."
Finally, He Ju glanced at the time and turned to leave.
Whether Qiu Shaoze would live or die, He Ju didn't know.
But troublemakers tend to live longer, and He Ju felt that Qiu Shaoze wouldn't die so easily.
To ensure the outcome, He Ju didn't leave immediately but found a noodle shop at the hospital entrance. While eating hot dry noodles, he waited for people to show up.
It must be said, Bai Shangmo really cares about his only son. He arrived in less than half an hour, and just as He Ju expected, Bai Shangmo was accompanied by someone.
If He Ju wasn't mistaken, this was the person he saw on the Starshine surveillance, the one with a suspicion of committing a crime.
Although the man with Bai Shangmo was wearing a hat and a mask in the surveillance footage, his build was still recognizable.
He Ju calmly took out his phone to snap photos of these people and sent them to Si Hua, then quickly finished his noodles and prepared to leave.
But just as He Ju paid and was about to step out of the noodle shop, he spotted a familiar face.
He Ju immediately pulled up his chat with Old Seven and carefully compared the photo sent by Old Seven, confirming it was the person listed by Old Seven.
Bai Xu's son, Bai Qifeng.
Bai Xu was Si Hua's Third Uncle, and Bai Qifeng was Si Hua's cousin.
What did it mean for these two to come to the hospital one after the other?
He Ju immediately became suspicious, but approaching them now would undoubtedly startle them, and He Ju wasn't sure if they recognized him, so he could only watch as Bai Qifeng led people into the hospital.
He Ju stood in place, deep in thought for a while.
Bai Yan had said that the Bai family's foundation was overseas, and even though they had a mansion in City A, it had been unoccupied for a long time.
Now that the Bai family members were appearing one after another, could it be as Bai Yan said, that danger was quietly approaching?
Were these people after the money in Si Hua's hands?
He Ju stood at the entrance of the noodle shop for about ten minutes before turning to leave.
There were two hours left until Starshine's press conference, and he needed to get there to stand by Si Hua's side to feel at ease.
Although everyone thought of Si Hua as a strong woman, only He Ju knew that she was also a delicate young lady, prone to jealousy, tears, and insecurity.
It was just the external factors that forced her to face these things alone.
City's First People's Hospital was quite far from Starshine, and it took He Ju an hour to drive there. By that time, the media and journalists were already arriving in droves, and the entrance to Starshine was extremely congested, with many reporters already broadcasting live.
To avoid being photographed, He Ju parked his car not far from Starshine and then walked over.
Meanwhile, at City's First People's Hospital, Bai Shangmo and Gu Li had been anxiously waiting outside the emergency room for over an hour.
As time ticked by, Bai Shangmo's face grew increasingly grim.
Only he and Qiu Shaoze knew this ward number, so how did Qiu Rong find it?
Bai Shangmo had ordered his men to check the surveillance, but after more than an hour, they saw no suspicious individuals.
Could it be Si Hua?
The thought flashed through Bai Shangmo's mind for a second before he dismissed it.
Although Si Hua was highly capable in business, especially in managing the company…
Si Hua wasn't that cruel.
Even if Si Hua knew he was responsible, she wouldn't have the heart to take the life of his only son.
So who else could it be?
Bai Shangmo ruled out He Ju immediately, as he didn't believe He Ju had the capability.
Gu Li was still crying softly beside him, which made Bai Shangmo feel uneasy. He sighed and reassured her: "Don't worry, our son will be fine."
"Really?" Gu Li sobbed.
Bai Shangmo nodded, pulled Gu Li closer, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder: "It's my fault. I thought you'd be safe in the hospital. From today on, I'll have bodyguards follow you at all times to ensure your safety."
Only then did Gu Li cling to Bai Shangmo's clothes, asking anxiously, "Once our son gets better, let's go abroad together. It's too dangerous here."
Bai Shangmo wasn't planning to go abroad anytime soon, at least… not until Si Hua's wedding was over.
Everyone had rushed back to the country upon hearing the news, and he wouldn't miss watching the whole drama unfold, would he?
Moreover, he wanted more than just the fortune in Si Hua's hands; he wanted the entire Bai family wealth.
But facing Gu Li's anxious expression, Bai Shangmo still smiled: "Alright, once our son is better, we'll go abroad and live a good life overseas, never letting you and our son suffer again."
Gu Li finally felt relieved. She had always known that Bai Shangmo was ambitious, or else he wouldn't have reached his current position.
But if Bai Shangmo was truly willing to live a good life with her and their son, she would be very happy, willing to follow Bai Shangmo for the rest of her life.
