The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 124 Let the law punish him

"You can stay here for now, and go back when you're better."

Chu Xinglan took Gu Ye to her rented place and put Gu Ye's medicine in the locker.

Gu Ye was looking around at the layout of the room, and he was quite satisfied with the fact that there was only one bedroom.

After putting away the medicine, Chu Xinglan turned around and saw Gu Ye taking off his clothes.

"What are you doing?" Chu Xinglan was startled.

"Of course it's for taking a shower, what else do you think we're doing?" Gu Ye gave an ambiguous smile.

"Didn't the doctor say that your wound shouldn't get wet?" Chu Xinglan quickly stopped him.

"You wash me." Gu Ye gazed at her affectionately.

"Is it my fault for washing you? You can't touch water." Chu Xinglan was both amused and exasperated.

"Help me wipe myself down. I haven't showered for days because of you." Gu Ye reached out and touched Chu Xinglan's face, his gaze fixed intently on her.

Chu Xinglan's face flushed, and she quickly pushed him away, saying hastily, "Wipe it yourself."

Gu Ye smiled, took off his shirt and put it outside before going into the bathroom.

Chu Xinglan took Gu Ye's clothes, folded them neatly, and placed them outside the door.

Looking at the closed bathroom door, Chu Xinglan sighed inexplicably.

What kind of person is he, a company president, who should be staying at the company instead of secretly protecting her like a knight-errant?

Chu Xinglan went to the bedroom to make the bed, when she suddenly realized something: there was only one bedroom, and it was just for her and Gu Ye…

While she was in a daze, Gu Ye walked in shirtless.

Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye, who had an incredibly good physique, and her heart fluttered inexplicably.

"You, you sleep in the bedroom, I'll sleep outside." Chu Xinglan tried to escape, but Gu Ye grabbed her.

"Gu Ye?" Chu Xinglan was startled.

"How could I let you sleep on the sofa?" Gu Ye's warm breath gently teased her sensitive earlobe.

"You're injured, it's not convenient for you to sleep on the sofa." Chu Xinglan struggled uneasily in Gu Ye's arms.

“So we’ll sleep in the bedroom together,” Gu Ye said softly.

Chu Xinglan's heart raced.

"Gu Ye, you... shameless bastard!"

"What are you thinking? The doctor said I shouldn't do strenuous exercise, so naturally I can't do anything to you."

Gu Ye looked at her blushing face with satisfaction.

After hearing what Gu Ye said, Chu Xinglan thought about it and agreed. He was already injured, so what was she afraid of?

Chu Xinglan looked at the snow-white ribbon wrapped around Gu Ye's waist and reached out to touch it with heartache.

Gu Ye gazed at Chu Xinglan with a look that seemed to span a lifetime. He knew that Chu Xinglan felt sorry for him, and his heart was also slightly stirred.

"Lanlan, this injury will heal quickly."

"Idiot!" Chu Xinglan said, but her heart ached even more. She looked up at Gu Ye and asked, "What will happen to the company if you come here?"

"I'm temporarily handing the company over to Xue Bai to manage," Gu Ye replied softly.

"You seem to trust Assistant Xue quite a bit."

"Even if everyone in the world betrays me, there is only one Xue Bai who will not." He trusted Xue Bai completely.

"Then how did you know I would come here? And how did you know I would seek out those who harmed me, and even how far away I was? I don't believe you've been by my side ever since I left the company."

Chu Xinglan stared at Gu Ye, wanting to know the truth.

Gu Ye reached out and pulled her into his arms.

“Lanlan, actually I know much more than you do. In my past life, after you committed suicide, I began to investigate those who harmed you. In addition to finding out about Shirley, I also found out about the three men who insulted you at the hotel.”

Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye in surprise. She had always thought that Gu Ye would be sad at most after her death, but she did not expect that he would find out who harmed her.

"Then do you know why Lu Yuan wanted to harm me?" Chu Xinglan turned around and asked Gu Ye.

Gu Ye nodded.

"Lu Yuan was taken advantage of by Shirley because his girlfriend needed expensive surgery. Shirley wanted him to hurt you in exchange for paying him a huge sum of money. He agreed to Shirley's terms so that he could have the money for his girlfriend's surgery."

"So... all of this was for his girlfriend?" Chu Xinglan paused.

This man's affection is genuine, but would he really disregard morality and hurt others for the sake of his girlfriend? What kind of good person is this?

"His biggest concern is his girlfriend, and he cares about her the most..."

As Gu Ye finished speaking, he looked down at the silent Chu Xinglan and gently bit her ear.

Chu Xinglan flinched and turned back to look at Gu Ye in surprise.

"Gu Ye, what did you mean by using the law to punish him when you said that at the hospital?"

“Since Lu Yuan agreed to harm you in his previous life in order to raise money for his girlfriend’s surgery, he will definitely agree to persuade you to turn himself in.”

Gu Ye had an inscrutable demeanor.

"Turn yourself in?" Chu Xinglan seemed to understand something. "You mean..."

“We’ll give him some money to pay for his girlfriend’s surgery, but on the condition that he accepts the consequences of his mistake. As for what the outcome will be, that will depend on how the law decides.”

Gu Ye gently stroked Chu Xinglan's lips with his fingers.

Chu Xinglan, focused on her thoughts, was unaware of this.

"Gu Ye, how did you come up with this idea?"

She used to be obsessed with personally killing her enemies, but Lu Yuan's situation put her in a dilemma. Revenge was her lifelong obsession, but Lu Yuan and Xin Yu's handling of the situation really made her sigh. Moreover, because she had lived two lives, she didn't know whether she should blame Lu Yuan's mistakes in the previous life on him in this life, since he hadn't done anything yet.

She really did kill him, but thinking of his helpless girlfriend, she couldn't bear it. However, Gu Ye's plan seemed to pull her out of the fog, allowing her to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Since Lu Yuan cared about his girlfriend's illness in both his past and present lives, then let's use that as a condition to make him atone for his sins in his previous life, let the law judge him, and she won't feel guilty for taking a life.

"This is the best way for you." Gu Ye cupped her face in his hands, his forehead pressed against hers, his voice full of tenderness.

Gu Ye was not a kind person. He did this simply because he didn't want to see Chu Xinglan collapse because of the burden in her heart. He couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest harm, and he didn't want her to endure too much. If he could, he would even do anything to clear away the obstacles for her.

In his past life, he went completely mad in his quest to avenge Chu Xinglan. Everyone who hurt her suffered his terrible retribution, and even knowing that Lu Yuan had his reasons for doing so, he felt no pity whatsoever.

The only time he showed mercy was when he buried Lu Yuan and her girlfriend together.
