Suddenly, a powerful voice came from behind, magnetic and pleasant, but it carried a life-threatening urgency.
Shen Heyu’s heart tightened upon hearing this voice, while Lu Yi frowned deeply, feeling as though he had heard this voice somewhere before. It wasn’t until he turned his head and saw Gu Siyu that he suddenly realized.
"You two really have something going on, Gu Siyu even knows my home address. Did you, this despicable woman, secretly bring him here, so that he could find my house so easily?"
As Lu Yi spoke, his anger intensified, and he grabbed Shen Heyu’s neck in a rush of fury. Gu Siyu ran over quickly and with one punch knocked Lu Yi to the ground. When Lu Yi fell, his head hit the floor with a thud, then his vision darkened, and he fainted.
Shen Heyu’s body slumped on the sofa, his face pale, he gasped heavily, and Gu Siyu carefully helped Shen Heyu up and poured him a cup of water.
Shen Heyu took the cup of water and after drinking half of it, he finally regained his breath. He had almost been choked to death by Lu Yi just now. He turned his head and looked at Lu Yi, who was motionless on the ground, and frowned, "Is he alright? Why isn’t he moving?"
"At this point, why do you still care about whether he lives or dies? Have you forgotten how he just treated you?"
Shen Heyu put down the water glass, "But if something happens to him, I’m afraid it will affect you. If anything happens, it would be a conflict between him and me, and has nothing to do with you."
Gu Siyu gave a reassuring look, stood up and walked over to Lu Yi, checked him with a lift of his hand—he was a doctor, so he quickly made an accurate judgment, "He’s fine, just fainted from hitting his head. He’ll wake up soon."
"You’re overthinking it. If something really happens, it won’t be blamed on you. You were so weak, how could you fight him? And don’t worry, if anything happens, it will only lead back to me."
Gu Siyu confirmed that Lu Yi was fine, then got up and walked over to Shen Heyu, noting the clear red mark still on Shen Heyu’s pale neck.
Hearing that Lu Yi was fine, Shen Heyu finally relaxed, but then raising his head to look at Gu Siyu, he was somewhat incredulous, "How did you come here, and how did you know I was here?"
Shen Heyu had just called him when he was still at the hospital; he had just picked up the phone when he heard a nurse calling Gu Siyu’s name, mentioning some issue with a patient in a ward.
"I had just answered the phone, sensed that you were in danger, so I decided to come here. Didn’t I tell you before? Our family has some influence and connections, so finding your location was easy."
Shen Heyu fell silent thoughtfully, his gaze landing on the divorce certificate on the floor.
"Do you remember what you said to me this morning?" Shen Heyu was now even more convinced that the greatest credit for being able to divorce Lu Yi smoothly was due to Gu Siyu, who was treating Yuexue, and she already owed Gu Siyu a great favor.
She hadn’t expected Gu Siyu to help her escape from this dire situation too, and Shen Heyu didn’t know how to thank Gu Siyu anymore.
Gu Siyu followed her gaze to the divorce certificate on the floor, picked it up, and upon opening it, indeed saw Shen Heyu and Lu Yi’s names on it.
"Congratulations on getting rid of Lu Yi successfully."
Gu Siyu threw the certificate on a nearby table, and Shen Heyu’s heart sank, wondering how to repay Gu Siyu for his favor. If she and Gu Siyu were just in a doctor-patient relationship, this matter wouldn’t have weighed so heavily on her, but today Gu Siyu had also revealed that he had been secretly in love with Shen Heyu for several years.
Their relationship had suddenly shifted from doctor and patient’s family to secret admirer and his love interest, which made Shen Heyu feel slightly awkward and even more at a loss.
This change added a heavier burden on Shen Heyu’s heart. She lowered her head, not even having the courage to look Gu Siyu in the eye.
"Thank you for helping me escape from this torment," Shen Heyu said softly. Gu Siyu’s help had been too great a favor to be repaid with mere words of gratitude.
Gu Siyu was pleased for Shen Heyu’s successful escape from Lu Yi, but her thank you made him frown slightly.
"Why are you thanking me? I haven’t done anything yet." Gu Siyu was puzzled; on the phone, he had heard about the conflict and contradiction between Shen Heyu and Lu Yi, and it seemed that their obtaining the divorce certificate was an unexpected event.
Shen Heyu, who had been unable to raise her head, was caught off guard by his words and looked up at Gu Siyu, "Wasn’t this arranged by you? Today after I left the hospital, I received a call from the delivery guy, and then I was notified about a document. I rushed over to sign for it and found it to be a divorce certificate."
"I had just received the divorce certificate when Lu Yi called me, repeatedly asking who was manipulating things behind the scenes, why he was unaware of anything, and then just received this divorce certificate."
"Lu Yi and I hadn’t gone to the civil affairs bureau to collect any divorce certificate, nor had we submitted a divorce agreement to the court, yet suddenly we received this divorce certificate. Moreover, Lu Yi had someone check with the civil affairs bureau, and it showed that we were indeed registered as divorced."
"I thought you were the one orchestrating this behind the scenes, because back at the hospital, didn’t you say you were going to help me get rid of Lu Yi?"
Shen Heyu gazed intently at Gu Siyu, her eyes full of inquiry. Upon meeting her gaze, Gu Siyu could only shyly say, "I had indeed thought about helping you, and I had contacted our company’s legal team, ready to assist you with the divorce at any time, but I didn’t expect you to suddenly receive the divorce certificate—it wasn’t orchestrated by me."
"If it wasn’t you orchestrating this, then who could it be?" Shen Heyu murmured to herself, though she had already thought of someone. Just as she thought of him, Shen Heyu couldn’t help standing up.
She looked up at Gu Siyu, who had already seen a definite answer in her eyes.
