Chapter 798: Pay Her Back in Her Own Coin (2)
Xu Weilai turned to face the crowd and continued, “From the start, you’ve never thought of sparing Grandpa Gu’s life. However, he wasn’t meant to die and ended up in a coma instead of falling to his death. From your point of view, only the dead could keep a secret, but subsequently, because Gu Yu arranged for more people to watch over Grandpa Gu and prevent anyone from getting close to him, there was no way for you to continue with your plans. However, as you feel that it was unlikely of Grandpa Gu to wake up from his coma to expose your true colors, you decided to let your guard down.
“You never expected Grandpa Gu to regain consciousness so abruptly and, coincidentally, when Gu Yu and Zuo Si’s wedding is just around the corner. The Zuo Family placed great importance in this marriage alliance and they needed Grandpa Gu to witness the wedding. You couldn’t possibly make a move against Grandpa Gu at a time like this for if something happened to him again, it might affect the wedding. However, neither could you let Grandpa Gu face the public while he was clear-minded and conscious for you feared that he would expose the terrible things that you did. That’s why you could only hypnotize him for the time being so as to cover up what you’ve done and get through this wedding first.
“You asked someone to kidnap Grandpa Gu from the hospital ward and bring him to your clinic. After hypnotizing him, you asked someone to send him back. You wanted to keep it a secret, but…”
She paused her a.n.a.lysis for a moment and asked, “Aunt Bai, aren’t you curious why you managed to take Grandpa Gu away so easily despite how heavily guarded the ward is?”
The smile gradually vanished from Bai Yufang’s face.
Xu Weilai was unbothered by her silence and continued, “Let me tell you the reason. I specifically instructed the bodyguards to let your men in. I played along with him and allowed him to knock me out with his drugs so as not to arouse his suspicion. Otherwise, how do you think your men could manage to take Grandpa Gu away so easily?
“Aunt Bai, you were indeed cautious, but you were only wary of me. I’ve also teamed up with Chunchun a long time ago. She did not tail after your men even when she saw them leave with Grandpa Gu for she was afraid of alerting you. Instead, she sent you a message and as soon as you replied, she would be able to confirm your location through the GPS and track you down. She then secretly recorded the process of you hypnotizing Grandpa Gu.
“Why would you do these things if you didn’t have a guilty conscience? Don’t tell me that you asked someone to take Grandpa Gu away furtively in the middle of the night for the sake of counselling him? Who would even buy into that?”
Bai Yufang’s expression became increasingly solemn as she listened to what Xu Weilai was saying. Her pride and look of disdain had already been wiped off her face and her lips were pursed as her gaze wavered.
She had really underestimated Xu Weilai.
The trap had already been laid out by Xu Weilai from the moment Xiao Chun returned home for dinner and asked about Grandpa Gu’s condition. Xiao Chun was already working together with Xu Weilai to lure her into her own trap.
Fortunately, even if Xu Weilai’s guess was right, she still lacked a piece of evidence that could serve as the final nail in the coffin. “No matter what, Grandpa Gu is now under my control and there’s nothing that Xu Weilai could do to me as long as he couldn’t tell the truth,” Bai Yufang thought.
Maintaining her last shred of indifference, Bai Yufang raised her hands and clapped before she smiled and replied, “Well said. As expected from a former reporter. Weilai, I have to say that you’re great at making up stories. However, I still maintain my words—if you insist on a.s.serting that I have the intention to hurt Grandpa Gu, then show us the evidence. Even if you lack physical evidence, you should at least have a witness, shouldn’t you?”
