Chapter 2287 - 2190: Previous Life
Huo Sining was instantly shocked. She wanted to ask what was happening, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t make any sound.
On the other side, after Gu Xu listened to Yu Fei, he seemed equally serious: "That woman from the Liang Family said Huo Sining voluntarily donated her organs because of a health issue, but her words don’t seem entirely authentic. I suspect there’s a problem, which is why I asked you to investigate. Looks like this woman is indeed trouble!"
Yu Fei took a drag on his cigarette: "It’s more than that. I’ve looked into it. Huo Sining was tricked by her boyfriend to go to the beach. The one who plotted it was that woman from the Liang Family. I also found out that the woman from the Liang Family and Huo Sining were close friends in high school, very close, but after the woman was taken back by the Liang Family, she never contacted Huo Sining again."
Gu Xu frowned upon hearing this: "She goes to any lengths to achieve her goals; this woman is truly heartless!"
"But what I don’t understand is, why is she so determined to harm a friend from her school days? If Huo Sining really was her friend, what does this mean, putting her in such a dire situation?"
Yu Fei was stunned by Gu Xu’s words, "Boss, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Xu felt there was something odd, but couldn’t pinpoint it right away, so he instructed Yu Fei to investigate more thoroughly: "Try to look into it more carefully, and see if there’s anything missing."
Yu Fei nodded, but then remembered something, looking at Gu Xu hesitantly: "We couldn’t retrieve the woman’s body; our people searched those waters thoroughly but found nothing. She might have been eaten by sharks. Should we just drop it?"
Gu Xu’s face darkened instantly, ignoring Yu Fei and stubbornly replied, "Continue, even if we only find the bones, it’s worth it!"
Yu Fei hesitated upon hearing this, then sighed, nodded, and left.
Huo Sining stood there, clearly hearing the conversation between Yu Fei and Gu Xu. Initially, she felt bewildered, but the more she listened, the more astonished she became. She slowly understood this was something that happened after Wu Jingyi harmed her in her past life.
This made Huo Sining even more confused. She didn’t know what was happening. In her past life, she had no dealings with Gu Xu, so why would he know about her forced organ donation and even have Yu Fei investigate Wu Jingyi? What was going on?
Her mind was in a muddle, and all she could do was focus on Gu Xu, hoping to discern something from his face.
Just then, the phone rang. Gu Xu hesitated for a moment but picked it up.
On the other side, a middle-aged woman’s voice, overwhelmed with joy, said: "A Xu, Huizi woke up. Come to the hospital quickly!"
Gu Xu’s eyes flashed with joy, but then his gaze landed on the investigation file on the table, and his expression turned ugly. With effort, he forced a smile, instinctively rubbed his brow, and stared at the photo of the smiling, gentle woman on the file.
After sitting dazedly for a while, he stood up, grabbed his coat, and headed out.
Huo Sining had been immobilized, unable to move, but as Gu Xu moved, she was uncontrollably pulled along.
She couldn’t speak, and Gu Xu seemed not to notice her at all. He entered the elevator, went down, got in the car, and arrived at the hospital, heading straight to a special care ward.
As soon as he opened the room, Huo Sining saw the people inside. There were four or five, all familiar to her, including members of Song Hui’s family, Chief Lu, and Song Chunxue.
On the bed lay someone pale and frail—it was Song Hui.
In Huo Sining’s memory, Song Hui had always been an energetic, flamboyant, and carefree playboy. If not for meeting Zhang Shuang, he’d still be flirting around playboy, never truly involved. Although Song Hui was frivolous, he wasn’t inherently bad and was an efficient assistant to Gu Xu, whom Huo Sining quite admired.
But seeing Song Hui like this for the first time shocked Huo Sining; she didn’t know what had happened to make him so tragic.
But before she could figure out what was happening, Song Hui’s mother spoke up seeing Gu Xu come in:
"A Xu, we really have to thank you this time. If it wasn’t for your help finding suitable organs, my Xiao Hui might have... Who donated the heart? Does their family need any help? We certainly won’t hesitate to offer assistance."
Gu Xu froze at Song Hui’s mother’s words, looking stunned and a bit unnatural: "Aunt Song, that girl was an orphan raised by her uncle’s family. But they have already received the money, so please don’t do anything unnecessary. Any further compensation might be too much for them."
Clearly, Song Hui’s mother trusted Gu Xu. Hearing this, she nodded repeatedly and said:
"That girl was kind. Who would’ve thought she was an orphan? Without her, Xiao Hui wouldn’t have recovered so quickly. She’s a great benefactor to our Song Family. Where is her grave? When Xiao Hui is better, I will take him to pay respects to her!"
Gu Xu’s eyes showed some worry; he couldn’t bear to tell Song Hui’s mother that the girl was pushed into the sea by the Liang Family’s granddaughter, and they hadn’t retrieved her remains yet, so he nodded perfunctorily:
"Okay, I’ll inquire and let you know when I find where her grave is."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the people in the room left understandingly, closing the door, seeing Gu Xu had things to discuss with Song Hui.
Huo Sining stood in the room, her mind utterly blank. If she didn’t figure out what was happening now, she’d be a fool.
She remembered being harmed by Wu Jingyi on the ship and overhearing Wu Jingyi’s conversation with Young Master Gu outside. But back then, she could only hear voices and didn’t see anyone due to her physical constraints.
Now, hearing Gu Xu’s conversation with Song Hui’s mother, combined with Gu Xu’s recent investigation directives to Yu Fei, she pieced together the whole situation.
It turns out, in her past life, Wu Jingyi had excavated her heart to give to the Young Master Gu, who wasn’t someone else—it was actually her husband this life, Gu Xu!
