Chapter 343: Murdering Her Husband
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words, the higher-ups who had previously attacked her exchanged wary looks.
Chu He was stunned. She quickly realized that since entering the meeting room, Gu Qingcheng had only mentioned someone pushing Gu Tianhao downstairs, without ever explicitly saying it was her.
But she had just denied pushing Gu Tianhao in response to the maid’s speculative statement in the video.
Damn it.
She had fallen into Gu Qingcheng’s trap.
Qin Chong’s face showed a slight change as he recalled everything Gu
Qingcheng had said. She only mentioned someone pushing Gu Tianhao downstairs and never specifically accused Chu He.
Now, Chu He had taken the initiative to deny pushing Gu Tianhao based on the baseless words of the male servant and the maid, which was akin to admitting guilt.
Gu Qingcheng observed the varied expressions of everyone present.
She raised her voice with a hint of accusation, “I only remember mentioning that someone pushed Gu Tianhao downstairs, but I never said it was Chu He who pushed him. Why would Chu He take the initiative to tell me she didn’t push him?”
During her speech, she looked directly at Chu He and asked pointedly, “Chu He even accused me of being vicious and harming her. What have I harmed her with? I never confirmed that Chu He pushed Gu Tianhao, so why is she in such a hurry to clear her name?”
Chu He stared at Gu Qingcheng with wide eyes.
She had been so smug just a moment ago, but now, she felt her cheeks burning. Every word from Gu Qingcheng felt like a slap in her face.
She felt humiliated and confused, realizing how foolish she had been to fall for Gu Qingcheng’s scheme.
When Gu Qingcheng had mentioned someone pushing Gu Tianhao, Chu He had, based on her own assumptions, remembered Gu Qingcheng accusing her over the phone and at the hospital. Then, the conversation between the male and female servants in the video pointed to her pushing Gu Tianhao to avoid divorce.
However, the servants’ conversation was merely speculation and did not specifically point to her.
But all she could think about was Gu Qingcheng’s angry accusations in the hospital, mistakenly believing that Gu Qingcheng had accused her in front of the board of directors, which led her to vehemently deny pushing Gu Tianhao to Gu Qingcheng.
Denying it was as good as admitting it—this was how Gu Qingcheng had cunningly trapped her.
No wonder when she called Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingcheng had scolded her for pushing Gu Tianhao. She had been so furious that she had cursed Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng wasn’t the type to do anything without a plan. From the moment she had contacted Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingcheng had been plotting against her.
Regaining her senses, Chu He glared at Gu Qingcheng through gritted teeth, “You’re so vicious!”
“I’m not just vicious, I’m also ruthless,” Gu Qingcheng replied, her eyes piercingly cold as she stared at Chu He. “Do you think you’re capable of playing tricks with me?”
Chu He, infuriated by Gu Qingcheng’s contemptuous words, felt dizzy with rage, struggling to stand steady.
Fortunately, she managed to hold onto a nearby table for support.
“You… You…
Gu Qingcheng looked at Chu He, who was so angry she couldn’t speak, and chuckled, “Don’t bother, you’ve lost today, you poor loser!”
Chu He’s face alternated between shades of anger and pale defeat, her teeth grinding with hatred for Gu Qingcheng, yet she was powerless against her.
Qin Chong hadn’t expected Chu He to lose so quickly. His efforts in laying the groundwork for her had been in vain.
His eyes hardened as he glanced at Gu Qingcheng, then he turned serious, “Qingcheng, your aunt explained that she didn’t push Tianhao because the male and female servants in the video were maliciously speculating. She didn’t want to be misunderstood, hence she explained in a hurry.”
As he spoke, he addressed the board members, “Everyone, I believe Mrs. Gu wouldn’t harm my brother, Gu Tianhao. They have always been loving since their marriage. Many here have witnessed their affectionate moments. Mrs. Gu was merely anxious to explain herself after seeing the slander in the video. She didn’t push Tianhao.”
Qin Chong’s words appeared logical on the surface, subtly prompting the board members on his side to oppose Gu Qingcheng.
The higher-ups and Qin Chong exchanged glances, quickly agreeing, “The video is full of baseless speculations. It can’t be used as evidence.”
“That’s right. Mrs. Gu and Chairman Gu have always been loving. She would never push Chairman Gu.”
“The servants are just gossiping. How can this matter be taken seriously? Miss Gu is too sensitive.”
“Mrs. Gu is also in a hurry to explain for her innocence. Everyone believes that Mrs. Gu would not harm Chairman Gu.”
Every statement was biased towards Chu He. Grateful, Chu He looked at Qin Chong, who had come to her rescue.
Gu Qingcheng noticed the exchange between Chu He and Qin Chong.
She didn’t rush to speak, simply waiting for the board members siding with Chu He and Qin Chong to finish.
The meeting room started with voices supporting Chu He, but eventually fell silent.
Gu Qingcheng knew it was her turn to speak. She looked at the crowd and said, “If you’re done talking, then it’s my turn. No matter who pushed my father, as his eldest daughter, I have the right to investigate the entire matter. Previously, Chairman Qin said these two servants might not belong to the Gu family. Let me clarify again, the male servant and maid in the video are indeed servants of the Gu family, and I have already taken control of them.” Upon hearing this, Qin Chong’s expression changed.
Chu He was shocked. Just when she thought she had an edge over Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingcheng cut her off again.
She loathed Gu Qingcheng to the core, regretting not having strangled Gu Qingcheng when she was still a young girl.
Gu Qingcheng observed the varied expressions of everyone present.
“I will hand these two servants over to the police station and start investigating the truth of the accident. I won’t allow anyone to hurt my father,” she declared assertively. “Chu He can’t temporarily act as the chairman of the group while investigating the truth of the accident, as she might also be the person who pushed my father.”
She paused for a moment and continued, “Of course, you all said she loved my father and couldn’t possibly be the murderer. But whether she’s the murderer or not is for the police to decide, not us. As the mistress of the Gu family, she must cooperate with the police investigation. Until the matter is investigated, she has no right to temporarily act as the chairman of the group because she hasn’t been ruled out as a suspect.”
Gu Qingcheng’s statement caused an uproar.
People began to look at each other again. The board members who had sided with Qin Chong and Chu He looked at them as if unsure how to respond to Gu Qingcheng’s challenge, leaving them to state their position.
Qin Chong’s lips twitched, speechless at Gu Qingcheng’s words.
Gu Qingcheng was logical and justified, being Gu Tianhao’s biological daughter and the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She had every right to seek the truth for her father.
In this situation, Gu Qingcheng controlled the entire scenario. Regardless of whether Chu He pushed Gu Tianhao or not, based on Gu Qingcheng’s insistence on seeking the truth and cooperating with the police, Chu He, being a suspect, was not qualified to act as the temporary chairman.
Chu He felt helpless against Gu Qingcheng.
If she couldn’t get Gu Corporation, Gu Qingcheng wouldn’t be able to become the chairman either.
“Gu Qingcheng, you want me to be investigated based on a few words from a servant? You’re framing me,” she accused Gu Qingcheng, trying to turn the tables. “In that case, let me be clear. Actually, it was you who sneaked back to the Gu family that night and pushed your father down the stairs. Your goal was to gain control of Gu Corporation. You murdered your biological father and framed me. You murderer!”
Upon hearing this, all the board members turned to look at Gu Qingcheng.
Someone exclaimed in shock, questioning Gu Qingcheng, “Miss Gu, is this true? Did you plan to kill your father?”
