Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Repaying Life 17_1

When Gu’s senior officer arrived at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, He Zhilan was resting. The floor nurses were discussing the morning’s incident. Learning that He Teng’s wife had to be steadied with tranquilizers because of his mother and wife’s arrival, Gu’s senior officer felt extremely guilty.

To be honest, no matter how disliked He Teng’s wife was in the Gu family, she was, after all, someone’s child. A wonderful young woman, who had suffered so much, who could easily let go of their hatred to forgive the murderer who wanted to kill her?

He Zhilan was awakened by the nurse, who handed her a thermometer, and asked, "Miss He, is the person outside your friend? He has been waiting outside for half an hour."

"Who?" He Zhilan’s line of sight was blocked by the nurse. She was weak, so she only asked, somewhat unsure as to who would come to the hospital and yet not come in.

Hearing the voice inside, Gu’s senior officer quickly got up from his chair and walked in, calling out, "He student, it’s me, I am Gu En’s father."

At the sound of Gu’s senior officer, He Zhilan’s hand holding the thermometer trembled slightly.

"Nurse, please excuse us for a while, I need to talk to her," Gu’s senior officer said, giving the nurse a slight nod.

"You can talk, but take care not to upset the patient." The nurse warned worryingly before finally exiting the room.

He Zhilan kept her head down and didn’t look at Gu’s senior officer who was in military uniform. Her voice was cold and clear, "If you are here to beg me to drop the charges, please leave. If your intention is to threaten or whatever, go ahead. If you feel that the charge of attempted murder by Gu En isn’t serious enough and insist on provoking me to death, I am not afraid. After all, Gu En will accompany me in death."

"He student, I know it’s hard for you to accept this request, but the Gu family is desperate. Gu En was wrong, but can you not give her a chance? You are lying here and it’s hard for you, but she isn’t faring any better in jail. Just now, she attempted suicide by cutting her wrist in the police station and is currently undergoing emergency treatment, her life hanging in the balance. Don’t you hope that even if she dies, she won’t have to bear the guilt of murder?"

Gu’s senior officer hoped that mentioning Gu En’s suicide attempt in a dire manner might appease He Teng’s wife somewhat, or perhaps, could touch on the sympathy or kindness within a woman’s heart.

"If she dies, what does it have to do with me? She did what she did. Is she wronged in bearing the guilt of murder even if she dies? She was wrong, I was the victim, why should I forgive her? Did she give me a chance when she was trying to kill me? If it weren’t for Lin Chan, I would be a corpse now. If I had died, what would you have done? Are people’s lives worthless in the eyes of your Gu family, as long as you compensate my family with some money, would that be considered the most valuable thing I have done in my life?"

Forgive? He Zhilan truly didn’t understand why Gu family had the audacity to ask her to forgive the person who tried to kill her.

"Mr. Gu, in the beginning, I respected you as a soldier. I thought that soldiers all over the world were like my husband, upright and fearless, the protectors of the country. But now, I feel that your uniform is disturbing to the eye, you don’t deserve to wear it."

He Zhilan raised her gaze slightly and looked scornfully at Gu’s senior officer, "The Gu family is selfish. At this moment, I am thankful I have no relation to your family, otherwise, I would feel ashamed for myself!"
