For the harm caused by this accident due to the Yangshi incident, Yang Fu thought that after paying off the debt, it was already over, and originally it was not her responsibility, but she paid the corresponding price.

  But it wasn't until they were taken by these people with unfamiliar accents onto the bumpy dirt road that they realized this matter was far from over.

  These people, although they were fierce and menacing towards Yang Fu Xiao just now, did not take action even after getting on the car. Because of their accent, Yang Fu Xiao could barely understand one or two sentences, roughly still about the issue of who died in this engineering project.

  Among them was a number that made Yang Fuxiao's eyelids jump violently after hearing it.

  Eight people...

  Yang had been in a defensive posture before dawn, with his legs and arms wrapped around his abdomen, but suddenly hearing this number, he straightened up abruptly.

  "Big brother, how many people died in this building collapse you mentioned just now?"

  "Eight!" The honest and simple man was far away from Yang Wu Xiao, as if Yang Wu Xiao had the plague on him, avoiding him in fear. "A father and son both died inside! You people are simply devoid of conscience!"

  Yang's mind was a complete blank.

  Eight. But no matter whether it's in news reports or some subsequent topics, the number of deaths I clearly saw was two people.

  The difference between two people and eight people is something Yang Guo doesn't dare to think about, nor does she dare to think about how much benefit she can gain from it.

  Does Gu Qingcheng know about this matter?

  If Gu Qingcheng knew but deliberately concealed the number of deaths...

  Yang Furong clenched his fists tightly, with a palm full of sweat. It's impossible, although Gu Qingcheng is also a businessman, he absolutely cannot do such an unscrupulous and inhumane thing.

  Even she herself didn't notice that she had already distinguished between Gu Qingcheng and those ordinary businessmen, at least not losing her humanity.

  On a bumpy dirt road, Yang Xiao was pushed down from the car.

  The resort in Kinsha Bay is right in this village.

  Yang Feng's eyes fluttered open at dawn, and all she could smell was the earthy scent of mud. She stumbled forward, only to be caught by someone who grabbed her arm and lifted her up.

  "It's all you businessmen who are ignoring your conscience and disregarding our lives! Do you know or not, a father and son both died inside!"

  Yang was pushed forward by the person behind him, stumbled forward, tripped over a stone on the dirt road, and his right shoulder directly collided with the thick trunk of a tree beside his right hand, causing pain to spread throughout his entire right arm.

  Fortunately, she is now wearing thicker clothes, which can withstand some impact force.

  Following the direction of the man's finger, Yang Xiao saw several graves. She was not unfamiliar with them. In the county town, her grandfather had used a grave mound, and later after Duanyu and Qigai Uncle died, they were also buried in a grave mound.

  There are also several graves here.

  Yang Xiao was suddenly pulled over by the person behind her, grabbing the back of her neck and hat, and pushed to the ground. Her knee hit a small stone on the ground, and her calf immediately cramped up in pain. She gritted her teeth until the cramp passed, then she had a thin layer of tears welling up in her eyes.

  "It's all because of people like you that such shoddy work is done, and it's our workers' lives that pay the price for your kind. You get to live a life of luxury! And look at this young man in front of you, he's only 21!"

  "Big brother, I didn't know anything about this matter from start to finish, I had no idea about this matter at all. My father's company on that side, I rarely take care of it anymore..."

  "Liar!"

  "Liar!"

  "All TV stations reported it, and it's you! And for your own sake, you want to get rid of us with money!"

  "Shameless!"

  At that time, the construction of the resort hotel was done by local workers. When Yang Fuxiao was pushed to the ground by the contractor, his knees suffered intense pain as he stared at a half-person-high mound in front of him, and suddenly a stone hit his head.

  A little kid stood on the ground, facing Yang Wu and throwing stones: "Return my brother to me! Waaah, return my brother to me!"

  The little kid was talking and suddenly burst into tears. She started crying softly, then wailed loudly, and the adult behind her hugged her and stroked her head.

  Yang Fu Xiao looked at the grave in front of him, kneeling silently, without resisting.

  If it were some real kidnappers, she could despise and resist, but now the people behind her are all relatives of the innocent people who died in this Yang's water tower.

  More and more villagers gathered behind, their emotions becoming increasingly agitated, all because Yang Mianxiao was the daughter of the boss who had ruined people's lives, the culprit responsible for this building collapse!

  "Apologize to them! It's all your fault!"

  In the eyes of more and more people, Yang Fuxiao knew that he could no longer justify himself. After Yang's couple and Yang Susu left, they left themselves in a dead end, no matter whether they moved forward or backward, they would definitely be hurt.

  Yang Fu Xiao knelt on the ground, silently kowtowed three times, then got up and walked to another grave, re-knelt down and kowtowed three more times.

  A large amount of yellow dust suddenly rose on the dirt road behind, a black private car sped by and stopped abruptly here.

  Gu Qingcheng quickly ran down from the car, pushed through the crowd, and the first thing he saw was Yang Fuxiao kneeling in front of the grave, kowtowing.

  He directly went forward and pulled Yang Duoxiao up, hugging her waist.

  The people behind him immediately roared in anger: "What are you doing?!"

  Gu Qingcheng took a glance at Yang Fuxiao and saw that her scattered hair had mud on it, and there was ash on her cheek. Apart from this, she seemed to be fine.

  Yang Mu Xiao raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Qing Cheng, then turned around to look at the grave, just about to kneel down again.

  Gu Qingcheng grasped Yang Moxiao's arm and pinned it under his own, "It wasn't you who did it, what are you apologizing for?"

  The person behind took a step forward and suddenly pushed the two people in front, and the peasant woman behind threw all the white radishes from her vegetable basket at the two.

  Gu Qingcheng turned around to help Yang Fu Xiao block the things that were thrown over, "Don't you know you're pregnant yourself? Don't you understand your own body?"

  Yang Mu Xiao listened to Gu Qing Cheng's roar and silently raised his eyes to look at Gu Qing Cheng: "I want to ask you... from the eight people, two of them, did you do it?"

  Gu Qingcheng looked back at the villagers behind him, and for a moment, the fierce and gloomy light in his eyes dimmed. He turned around and said, "No."

  Yang Mu Xiao looked at Gu Qing Cheng's deep and dark eyes, and knew that he wasn't lying. If he said it wasn't him who did it, then it definitely wasn't.

  But...

  "You know, don't you?"

  This time, Gu Qingcheng didn't respond.

  Yang Mu Xiao smiled slightly, turned around, and faced the grave, bowing deeply. "Actually, to be honest, I should say sorry too. If you hadn't changed your mind back then and let Liu Yi Tian and Yang Shi interact with each other, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

  In the face of human life, what happens to oneself is nothing.

  If these villagers who have lost their loved ones were given a chance to buy back the lives of their deceased family members with money, I believe they would do so without any hesitation.

  More and more people came, and the police car arrived later. Dong Zhe brought people over and dispersed these villagers, then invited Gu Qingcheng to get in the car.

  Gu Qingcheng had been supporting Yang Fuxiao all along, but suddenly let go of his hand now. Yang Fuxiao, who was beside him, didn't steady himself and fell forward. Dong Zhe, who was in front, hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, but Gu Qingcheng's movements were faster, and he immediately protected Yang Fuxiao in his arms.

  Yang Furong's face turned pale and bloodless, she said: "I have a bit of stomachache, I want to take a rest."

  Gu Qingcheng directly picked up Yang Muxiao and put her in the back seat of the car.

  Suddenly heard from behind Dong Zhe yelled: "Boss, blood!"

  Gu Qingcheng's heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously looked behind Yang Fuxiao. Dong Zhe said: "Boss, your head is bleeding!"

  Just then, some villagers were throwing stones and others were throwing all sorts of things. Gu Qingcheng kept Yang Fuxiao tightly behind him to avoid her being hit by the stones.

  But now he finally felt the pain, and under Dong Zhe's roar, he raised his hand to touch the back of his head, with a handful of blood on his palm.

  Yang Mu Xiao saw a patch of blood on Gu Qing Cheng's palm from the scattered light outside the car door, and suddenly it was as if he had been pricked by a needle in his eyes.

  As soon as Gu Qingcheng got on the bus, Dong Zhe immediately opened the car door and got in, stepping hard on the accelerator.

  "Go to the hospital."

  ………………

  Gu Qing's occipital bone was smashed by a stone and he had three stitches.

  Originally planned to go to Liang Jinmo's clinic, but because Yang Fuxiao needed a gynecologist to check, they still went to the hospital.

  Liang Jinmo happened to be substituting for someone at the hospital today and received a call from Dong Zhe, so he came to the orthopedic surgery room.

  The wound after stitching looked a bit gruesome, Liang Jinmo bandaged it for him and directly pressed on his head, "You said there's still which part of your body is intact? Every day it's either this place getting hurt or that place getting hurt."

  Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth and kicked out: "You bastard, be more careful!"

  Liang Jinmo dodged to the side and shook his head, "I'm really curious, with your skills, how did you manage to get hit by a rock and crack open your skull?"

  Gu Qingcheng sat down, pulled out a cigarette from his outer jacket pocket, and just as he lit the lighter with a click, Liang Jinmo had already walked over and snatched the cigarette butt from between his lips.

  "This is a hospital, you should also be careful."

  Gu Qingcheng let Liang Jinmo take away the cigarette butt and throw it away, raising her eyelids: "How is she?"

  "Who is she?"

  Gu Qingcheng didn't have the time or energy to play dumb riddles with Liang Jinmo either, and said lightly: "Yang Fuxiao."

  "Why don't you just go and see for yourself? What's the point of asking me here?"

  Liang Jinmo turned around and walked to the door, casually adding a sentence, "Just now the doctor gave Yang Fu Xiao an ultrasound examination, it's a boy."

  The light in Gu Qingcheng's eyes suddenly brightened, and a flash of light passed through his pupils.

  "Is her medical record archived here?"

  Liang Jinmo's footsteps paused slightly, "I'll get a gynecologist to ask you some questions."

  ………………

  Shen Jia-yu arrived at the hospital half an hour later.

  The doctor at the hospital gave Yang Xiao a check-up and said, "The fetal position is unstable. It's best to rest in bed for a week to recover well. There are no other major problems."

  Yang Fuqiao was also hit on the head at the time and had a lump.

  She sometimes feels quite lucky, with gains and losses.

  "What should we do about this? I heard from those villagers that there were eight people involved?"

  Shen Jiaoyu patted Yang Muxiao's hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Those people have already been taken care of by your father."

  "Has it been settled with money?"

  Before Shen Jia-yu arrived, she had just watched the news on TV, which was an interview with villagers in the resort area. The issue of the eight people had been sealed and unspoken, both internally and externally, all referring to only two people.

  Shen Jia-yu didn't say a word, but tightly grasped Yang Mu-xiao's hand.

  "I know that behind all the glamour and brightness, there is darkness," Yang Fuxiao turned to look out of the window, "Giving those people's families a bit more money can be considered compensation."

  All along, she knew that anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem at all.

  However, at first contact with these unspeakable things, the heart still cannot calm down for a long time.

  Of course, there is also good news.

  Yang Mu Xiao looked at Shen Jia Yu's extremely worried face and smiled: "The doctor said it's a boy."

  Shen Jia-yu's face was somewhat solemn, "Which doctor did your examination?"

  Yang Mo Xiao's originally raised lip corners suddenly stiffened.

  It was always Shen Jia-yu who found her a more reliable doctor, but this time Dong Zhe drove to the hospital which was not the same one where she had been doing prenatal check-ups.

  What's more, Gu Qingcheng is also in this hospital!

  Yang's face turned even paler.

  The child's months have always been hidden for two months, but now that it has been checked, the true months are obvious.

  Shen Jia-yu saw the same worry in her eyes, he stood up and said: "I'll go take a look at Second Brother, you rest well first, I'll be right back."

  Yang Xiao nodded, her heart racing out of control with a loud thud.

  My lower abdomen has already bulged out a bit, although it's not very noticeable, because of the thick winter clothes, you can't see it at all.

  However, she didn't know that if Gu Qingcheng found out that the abortion was a fake one she and Shen Jiayu had colluded on, and the fetus in her womb was still his, would he force her to have an abortion...

  Fists clenched on both sides of the quilt.

  Shen Jia-yu opened the door of the ward and saw Meng Xi waiting at the entrance.

  Meng Xi dodged Shen Jia-Yu's gaze for a moment before smiling and saying, "Young Master Shen."

  Shen Jia-yu said lightly: "Mm, there's nothing at dawn, you can go in and keep her company."

  "Alright."

  Meng Xi entered the ward and saw Yang Mo staring at the ceiling, his eyes fixed on it as if he wanted to stare a hole through it. He only turned around when he heard the sound.

  "Xiao Xi."

  Meng Xi walked over and sat down, "Nothing's wrong, I'm relieved. It was really scary at school, luckily I met Gu Qingcheng..."

  Yang brushed off the dawn and turned over, "Was it you who told Gu Qingcheng?"

  Meng Xi nodded: "Yes, he wasn't handling school business, was he? I called 110, Gu Qingcheng came out of the school, and I told him about what happened to you with those construction workers. He didn't even finish listening before he stepped on the gas pedal, but fortunately, we made it in time, right?"

  Yang Mu Xiao was silent for a moment.

  She is now lying here in good condition, which already explains the situation.

  Meng Xi leaned forward, "I think Gu Qingcheng is really good to you, if it wasn't for the fact that you're pregnant with Shen Shao's child, then being with Gu Qingcheng would actually be the best choice, and he still resembles Xu..."

  Yang brushed off Meng Xi's words: "That's just the way it is, can't change it now."

  She turned her head to glance at Meng Xi, "Didn't you always think I should fulfill the engagement with Shen Shao? How come now that the wedding date is set, you're always speaking well of Gu Qingcheng?"

  Meng Xi blinked: "Really? I don't remember."

  "Of course."

  Yang Mu Xiao remembered clearly that Meng Xi had said before when they were packing up in the dormitory, she married Shen Jia Yu just to use him and it was unfair to Shen Jia Yu.

  Her thoughts are more delicate and she pays close attention to changes in people around her, piecing together every detail.

  And also the time before last when we met unintentionally at the mall...

  "I'm telling the truth, besides, I don't have a boyfriend now, so I can be a bit flirtatious," Meng Xi said with a smile as she stood up, "Let me pour you a cup of hot water."

  ………………

  "Knock knock knock", three knocks on the door.

  "Please come in."

  The one who pushed open the door was Shen Jiaoyu. As expected by Gu Qingcheng, he knew that Shen Jiaoyu would come looking for him.

  Shen Jiaoyu locked the door and turned to look at Gu Qingcheng, "Second brother, how's your head wound?"

  He just went to the office and asked the doctor about Gu Qingcheng's injury. He had a head wound and got three stitches.

  Gu Qingcheng smiled slightly: "It's all right now, it's not serious."

  Shen Jia-yu sat down, "Fortunately, Second Brother is here. If not, Fu Xiao would have been injured... and she's still pregnant..."

  Gu Qingcheng and Shen Jiaoyu were not close, and it was because of Shen Zhou's excessive control over him that had once caused Shen Jiaoyu to be furious, even secretly using Shen Zhou's name to sell the company's shares.

  Now, Shen Jiaoyu has returned from abroad. At first, because of the economic and trade forum, Shen Jiaoyu inexplicably became close to him for a period of time. This superficial relationship has continued until now, with everyone being aware of it but no one daring to tear off the facade.

  Moreover, Shen Jia-yu has returned to MSC and taken a small stake in the board of directors.

  "This period of time has been quite troublesome for the company, and in two weeks it will be our wedding," Shen Jia-yu said. "Recently I may have been busy with more dawn affairs."

  As he said this, he paid special attention to Gu Qingcheng's expression.

  Just like a mirror without any cracks.

  Gu Qingcheng said: "Uncle has already told me about this matter, congratulations."

  It wasn't until Shen Jia-yu left that the curve at the corner of Gu Qing-cheng's mouth gradually subsided, his dark eyes deep like a vast ocean on a dark night.

  He pulled out an ultrasound photo from behind his pillow.

  A small curled up figure in the womb, it seems that the fetus's movement can be seen from the B-ultrasound scan, and it is a boy.

  Gu Qingcheng's lip corners slightly raised and then deeply closed his eyes, reopening them to reveal a deep black color in his pupils, darker than ink, focusing on a specific number.

  Behind it was a copy of a medical record sheet, on which was Yang Furong's prenatal examination report... 13 weeks.
