The medicine wore off and Mingzhu woke up to see the doctor bandaging her. She felt severe pain on her body and opened her mouth but no sound came out.

"Ms. Jin, your tongue is injured, so it's normal for you to lose your voice. We just applied medicine on you. The wounds on your body have also been treated. You should rest well and recuperate during this period." The doctor beside her spoke gently.

Mingzhu nodded, thinking back to when she saw Gu Huaijin before she fainted. It must be Gu Huaijin who saved her. Now she is safe. She calmed down and closed her eyes to think.

She knew her alcohol tolerance, and the glass of red wine Shen Jiarou gave her was not enough to make her lose consciousness. The only possibility was that something was added to it.

The three men in the room were instructed by someone to point their cameras at the bed, ready to record the entire process of her being violated, in order to ruin her reputation. Did Shen Jiarou hate her so much? He would not hesitate to destroy her with such a dirty and despicable method. Thinking of this, two lines of tears gently slid down her cheeks.

The doctor told Gu Huaijin that Mingzhu had been drugged and now Mingzhu had woken up. This was the scene Gu Huaijin saw when he came in. His heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to take out a tissue, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and comforted her softly.

"Does the wound hurt? You are safe now. It's all over. I will definitely seek justice for you and make them pay a terrible price."

Mingzhu tried to speak but pulled the wound on her tongue, and the pain made her frown slightly. Gu Huaijin looked at her with concern.

"Your tongue is bitten, don't speak."

Mingzhu nodded, and then took Gu Huaijin's hand. Gu Huaijin didn't understand why, so he let her hold it. He felt a soft touch on his palm, and it was her writing on it.

“Thank you,” she wrote.

"Secret."

Gu Huaijin nodded. "I haven't told your family yet, and Aunt Sheng doesn't know about it either."

"Do you know who harmed you?" Although they caught the person, it was obvious that the three were instructed by someone.

She then wrote, "Shen Jiarou, wine."

"Call the police for me." She wrote on Gu Huaijin's palm again.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it. You should have a good rest." After helping her lie down and covering her with a quilt, Gu Huaijin left the room.

"Chen Chuan, ask Yingge to find a woman named Shen Jiarou and bring her back to the base."

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

"Those three people are now in the basement. Lin Shao and his team are interrogating them. But they haven't confessed yet."

"Let's go down."

In the basement, three thieves had their hands tied and were hung up. The bodyguards beside them whipped them hard with wet whips, and they screamed and begged for mercy.

"Say, who sent you?"

The bald man in the lead kept wailing, "No one ordered us to do this. The three of us saw that the girl was pretty and drunk, so we wanted to take advantage of her."

"What's going on with the camera in the room?" Sheng Yichen shouted.

"We just wanted to take a picture and enjoy it ourselves." The man was still stubborn even when he was about to die.

"You're telling lies all the time, keep hitting me!"

This was the scene that Gu Huaijin saw when he came in. The bodyguards around him made way for him and he sat down in the main seat.

"Third brother, we've been fighting for a long time, but he still hasn't revealed the mastermind behind the scenes." Lin Shaoyu said anxiously. Jin Mingzhu had such a big incident in his place, so he couldn't escape the blame.

"It's okay." Gu Huaijin stood up and took the whip from the bodyguard. He pressed the whip against the bald man's bleeding face.

The bald man was frightened by the obvious murderous intent of the person in front of him and spoke quickly.

"We were wrong today, call the police."

"Oh, call the police?" Gu Huaijin whipped the bald man hard, and he screamed.

"Wouldn't it be too easy for you to call the police? Tell me! Who sent you here?"

"No one sent us here." He was still being stubborn.

Gu Huaijin lost his patience, and Shadow understood and stepped forward with a sharp knife.

The sharp blade was thrust straight into the bald man's chest, and blood immediately gushed out. The man's heart-wrenching howl echoed throughout the basement.

Gu Huaijin still felt it was not enough, so he held the sharp blade and turned it a few more times. Gu Huaijin's expression was indifferent throughout the whole process, as natural and elegant as if he was handling fish and shrimp in the kitchen. As he moved, the bald man screamed continuously and begged for mercy immediately.

"I said! I said!"

"A man approached us and asked us to gang-rape the girl and take a video and give it to him. After the rape, he would give us one million."

"Who is that man?" Gu Huaijin continued to ask.

"We don't know. He only keeps in touch with us through a single line."

Gu Huaijin pushed the knife deeper. The man's face turned pale and he begged for mercy in a halting manner.

"He came to see us before. He has an extraordinary temperament. He must be from a wealthy family."

"By the way, he transferred money to us before, and there is the transfer information."

After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Huaijin pulled out the sharp blade, and the intense pain made the bald man faint. The bright red blood gushed out and splashed on Gu Huaijin's body. He took the tissue and wiped it gently with a cold expression.

"Third brother, how do we deal with these people?" Lin Shaoyu asked.

Gu Huaijin's face was as cold as ice, and the fierce look in his black eyes had not yet disappeared. He spoke coldly,

"It's useless." He thought of that delicate feeling again. Then he added.

"Destroy them and let the police take over."

"Yes." Shadow obeyed the order, and bursts of wailing were heard from the basement.

Chen Chuan reported from the side, "Boss Gu, Shadow just reported: Shen Jiarou's family is not ordinary, and her family has connections in the military and political circles. When something happened, the Shen family hid her. Now, they can't find her."

"Waste!" Gu Huaijin opened his mouth lightly, and Chen Chuan lowered his head.

He ordered again, "Keep looking. If necessary, you can use the old man's connections."

Entertainment venues are not places to stay for long. Gu Huaijin returned to the room, carried the peacefully sleeping Mingzhu back to Nanyuan Villa. Nanyuan was an estate he had previously acquired, with beautiful scenery, suitable for her to recuperate.

Sheng Yichen wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Lin Shaoyu. The situation was out of control and no one knew how it would develop.

It was almost midnight when they returned to Nanyuan. Gu Huaijin protected Jin Mingzhu very well, and she fell into a deep sleep despite the bumpy journey.

It seemed that she had dreamed of something terrible, her brows were furrowed, as if she was frightened. His fingers touched her brows, stroking them, and his hands were full of tenderness.

In the early morning, the sun shines into the bedroom, and Mingzhu slowly wakes up. After a night's rest, she has recovered a lot. When she opens her eyes, she sees a minimalist bedroom with dark grey sheets and exquisite ornaments.

It showed the owner's extraordinary taste. She tried to move her leg, and the wound was pulled, causing her to take a deep breath. The movement woke up Gu Huaijin, who was standing beside her, and he asked her hurriedly.

"Are there any discomforts?"

At this time, Mingzhu noticed Gu Huaijin sitting beside her. He was sitting on a chair, his clothes were a little messy, and he no longer looked his usual self. Did he just sit on the chair and take care of her all night?

"Did you stay up all night?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

"I came back last night at midnight, and there were no servants here. You were seriously injured, and I was worried that you would need help at night."

"The person who bullied you yesterday has been arrested by the police, and the video has been destroyed. Shen Jiarou has gone into hiding and has not been found yet." He said lightly, his dark eyes always focused on her.

"Gu Huaijin, thank you." Mingzhu's tongue still hurt and she spoke incoherently.

"You don't have to thank me. Just take good care of your injuries here, and leave the rest to me." Gu Huaijin's voice was calm, making her feel at ease.

"I just asked Chen Chuan to go out and buy some food. You can eat some." Then he gave instructions.

Mingzhu nodded. She couldn't give Gu Huaijin what he wanted. She could only say thank you to him.
