Chapter 1093: Chapter 1092 Self-defense

When Gu Shaoting arrived at Wang Dali’s office, he saw Xia Xiaoqiao crouching in the corner like a frightened little animal.

Wang Dali was lying on the floor. Gu Shaoting walked over and placed his hand in front of Wang Dali’s nose to check.

Fortunately, there was still breathing. Gu Shaoting breathed a sigh of relief, guessing he was just knocked out.

He immediately picked up the phone and called an ambulance.

Then he approached Xia Xiaoqiao and gently called out, “Secretary Xia?”

Xia Xiaoqiao did not respond, so he called out again.

This time Xia Xiaoqiao slowly turned her face towards him, her eyes gradually focusing, and suddenly she threw herself into Gu Shaoting’s arms, “Mr. Gu, I killed someone.”

Having said that, she started sobbing.

Gu Shaoting was initially stunned, then he pulled her out of his arms and comforted her, “It’s okay, he’s not dead, just unconscious. I’ve called an ambulance.”

Xia Xiaoqiao kept leaning into his arms, “Mr. Gu, I’m so scared. He kept touching me and was plotting something. I hit him on the head with an ashtray in self-defense…”

The more Xia Xiaoqiao spoke, the more terrified she became, completely collapsing emotionally.

Gu Shaoting patted her shoulder, “It’s okay, don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Xia Xiaoqiao finally felt relieved.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Wang Dali to the hospital for treatment.

Because the commotion was quite big, it also alerted the people at Wang Dali’s company.

One of Wang Dali’s relatives also followed to the hospital.

The hospital staff immediately arranged for the doctor to treat him. Since there was no critical injury, Wang Dali was soon revived.

After waking up, he touched his head and remembered what had happened. He became furious.

He thought, “That woman really has the gall to do this to him, hitting him and injuring him. If it had been a bit harder, it might have been the end of him. This is absolutely outrageous. This time, he definitely would not let it go easily.”

He touched his head, which was still faintly aching.

Gu Shaoting arranged for Xia Xiaoqiao to go home and rest well, leaving the rest for him to handle.

After settling everything, he went to the hospital, knowing that Wang Dali had awakened, and he could finally relax.

Although he knew he hadn’t died, he was still afraid that he might have suffered brain damage or something similar. The doctor had just said that everything was fine and he could be discharged in a few days.

When he knocked and entered the room, Wang Dali was massaging his temples. Seeing Gu Shaoting, he did not look pleased.

“How are you feeling, Mr. Wang? Feeling better?” Gu Shaoting greeted first.

“Not dead yet,” Wang Dali said angrily, “Where’s that woman? Where did she go?”

Gu Shaoting paused, then soothed, “Mr. Wang, please calm down. Secretary Xia was out of line and has offended you. I apologize on her behalf.”

“Hmm, it’s more than just offense. It’s attempted murder,” Wang Dali said increasingly agitated. It was embarrassing to think he got nothing out of it but an injury. Talking about it would probably make him a laughingstock.

“It was an unintentional error; please, Mr. Wang, let bygones be bygones and forgive her this once,” Gu Shaoting pleaded.

“Forgive? With my head like this, how can I forgive? Fancying her was her good fortune,” Wang Dali grumbled discontentedly.

“It was also an act of self-defense, an instinctive reaction. She already realizes her mistake,” Gu Shaoting explained.

“Have her come here herself, then I’ll forgive her,” Wang Dali set the condition.

Gu Shaoting appeared very troubled.
