EBE Chapter 3 Professor Gu, Gu Zhen
Chapter 3 Professor Gu, Gu Zhen
Li Xi followed Professor Gu to the lounge on this floor and watched as he took out his backpack and pulled out disinfectant and medical gauze.
The man methodically bandaged Li Xi's wound, and while tidying up his things, he instructed Li Xi, "The wound isn't deep, but don't get it wet."
The man's every move was proper and composed.
It is said that after a person dies, the last thing to disappear is their hearing.
Li Xi still remembers how Dr. Gu called her name repeatedly after the car accident, reminding her not to fall asleep, and how his tone became uncontrollable.
I also remember how he tried to save her with the defibrillator in the emergency room, trying to snatch her back from the clutches of death.
I can't forget how Dr. Gu cried his heart out after she died.
Composing herself, Li Xi thanked the other party: "Thank you, Professor Gu, for bandaging me."
Upon hearing the title "Professor Gu," the other person paused.
He looked up at Li Xi, his gaze locking onto Li Xi's eyes, and explained, "I'm just a special advisor invited by Captain Zhou."
"My surname is Gu, you can call me... Gu Zhen."
Professor Gu.
His surname was Gu, his given name was Zhen, and his courtesy name was Huaizhou.
So Dr. Gu's real name is Gu Zhen. That's a really nice name.
Staring at Gu Zhen's strikingly handsome face, Li Xi asked sincerely, "When you say special advisor, do you mean the kind who's exceptionally handsome?"
A look of astonishment flashed in Gu Zhen's eyes.
Was he being teased?
Just then, Officer Zhou came over. "Ms. Li, I'll take you to the hospital for a blood test first." Only after the test results are available can we begin the follow-up investigation.
Upon hearing this, Li Xi suppressed her curiosity about Gu Zhen.
Her expression turned serious, and she made a new request: "Officer Zhou, I request that Xie Xingyun come with me to the hospital for a blood test."
Officer Zhou was somewhat surprised. "The reason?"
Li Xi sneered, "He forced himself on me in the room earlier. As the victim, I have the right to demand that he go for a blood test with me."
"If the blood test results confirm that he was also drugged, then I can barely forgive his offense. If he wasn't poisoned, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to sue him for hooliganism."
An ex-boyfriend who has broken up with his girlfriend should stay put in the trash can. If he tries to touch his ex-girlfriend inappropriately again, that's just being a pervert.
Officer Zhou raised an eyebrow, but before he could say anything, Gu Zhen said, "It's not an exaggeration."
After a pause, Gu Zhen added four more words: "It's reasonable and justifiable."
Upon hearing this, Officer Zhou glanced at Gu Zhen with amusement in his eyes.
Well, Gu Zhen, the notoriously aloof and unattainable beauty in Dongzhou City's medical community, has actually become a compassionate good Samaritan today?

Seeing that Officer Zhou had forcefully taken Xie Xingyun and Li Xi away, both sets of parents were alarmed.
After finding the hotel manager and carefully inquiring about the whole story, Jiang's father looked at Jiang Qingkong with suspicion.
No one knows a daughter better than her father, and Mr. Jiang knew exactly how jealous his daughter was.
Jiang Qingkong had complained about Li Xi at home some time ago, saying that Li Xi looked like a vixen and suspected that Li Xi and Xie Xingyun had an ambiguous relationship.
Then, recalling that when Jiang Qingkong went to catch them in the act of adultery, she called out the names of Li Xi and Jiang Xinghe, Jiang's father guessed the truth.
Jiang Xinghe is his son with his ex-wife. He is a spoiled rich kid who only knows how to race cars, pick up girls, and go to bars.
Jiang Qingkong has disliked her useless older brother since she was a child.
Eliminating two thorns in her side in one move is indeed something Jiang Qingkong is capable of doing.
Thinking of this, Jiang's father gave Jiang Qingkong a warning glare before walking towards the Xie family.
"Thank you, Brother Xie." Jiang's father said to Xie Mingzong, the male head of the Xie family, "What happened today was just a joke between children. It was just a misunderstanding. It shouldn't have escalated to the point of calling the police and filing a case."
His expression darkened, and he gestured to Xie Mingzong, "Do you think you can get Li Xi to agree to a private settlement?"
He had heard that Li Xi's biological father was originally the Xie family's driver. After her father passed away, the Xie family took pity on her and adopted her.
As an adopted daughter of the Xie family, Li Xi should not be so willful and reckless.
The fact that Li Xi caused a police report on the day of the engagement banquet between the Xie and Jiang families is a disgrace to the Xie family.
Without needing Jiang's father to remind him, Xie Mingzong had the same idea. "Don't worry, I'll go to the police station right now and stop Li Xi to make her drop the case."
"That's good."
Having received Xie Mingzong's promise, President Jiang turned to Jiang Qingkong and said, "Come back to the room with me, I have something to ask you."
Jiang Qingkong hadn't expected Li Xi to take this matter to the police; her mind was in complete turmoil.
Meeting her father's all-knowing gaze, she quickly slunk away after him.
Meanwhile, Xie Mingzong returned to the banquet hall and asked the old man to help greet the guests. Only then did he get into the car with his wife Zhang Xiang, preparing to go to the police station to stop Li Xi.
Xie Jiaoyue caught up with the car by lifting the hem of her skirt and knocked on the car window.
"Yue'er." Facing his beloved daughter Xie Jiaoyue, Xie Mingzong was unusually gentle. He said, "It's cold outside. Why did you come out wearing a skirt?"
"It's Old Master Gu's birthday in a few days, and you still have to go to the Gu family to wish him a happy birthday. You can't get sick at this crucial time."
The Gu family is a true elite family in Dongzhou City, with immense family power.
For middle-class families like the Xie family, a marriage alliance with the Gu family could instantly elevate their social class.
Beside her, Xie's mother, draped in a purple fur coat, also advised Xie Jiaoyue: "That old man is getting old and his health is not as good as before. If you catch a cold at this critical moment, you may not have a chance to see him."
"If you can't see him, then you can't see Mr. Gu either. You are the only girl who is qualified to step into the Gu family and meet Mr. Gu. You can't waste this good opportunity."
"Go back to the hotel quickly, we'll be back soon."
In the eyes of the Xie couple, Li Xi was an easy-going, obedient girl who could be manipulated. They could persuade her to change her mind and withdraw the case by saying a few nice words.
Xie Jiaoyue knew the gravity of the situation, and she reminded her parents, "Mom and Dad, you need to be careful. Li Xi is acting strangely today; she's not the same as before."
“I had previously advised her not to file a case, but she actually refused.” Xie Jiaoyue still finds it unbelievable when she talks about it.
"What could be different!" Xie Mingzong didn't take Li Xi's unusual behavior to heart at all. He sneered disdainfully and said matter-of-factly, "She's just a dog I keep. How can a dog bite its owner?"
After saying that, Xie Mingzong urged the driver to start the car.
Xie Jiaoyue stood there watching the car drive away, noticing that the air was indeed cold. She rubbed her arms and quickly returned to the hotel.
The thought of having the chance to visit the Gu family in a few days and exchange a few words with that person, even if it was just catching a glimpse of their back through the screen, filled Xie Jiaoyue with satisfaction.
After all, she is the only one in the world to have this honor.
Everyone knows that Xie Jiaoyue is a special person in Gu Huaizhou's heart.
It was thanks to this honor that she was able to thrive in the entertainment industry.
Other girls who want to climb the social ladder have to take shortcuts, but she doesn't need to do anything to get good resources.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Officer Zhou took Li Xi and Xie Xingyun to have their blood drawn for tests.
Li Xi pressed the needle mark and looked up to see Gu Zhen walking towards her.
Gu Zhen looked down and asked Li Xi, "Do you need to have your stomach pumped?"
The effects of the medicine were so strong that Li Xi's body was still a little hot and her limbs were a little weak.
She didn't try to be brave and quickly nodded to Gu Zhen, "Yes."
Gu Zhen then said to Officer Zhou, "I'll take Miss Li to have her stomach pumped. I'll come to the police station to see you later."
Officer Zhou, his eyes gleaming with curiosity, watched the two figures disappear into the distance. Turning around, he saw Xie Xingyun, who had also finished having his blood drawn, staring disapprovingly at Gu Zhen's hand as he helped Li Xi up.
His eyes looked like those of a hungry wolf whose fat had been stolen.
