After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 124 Love Brain

As I was walking, I suddenly felt a burning gaze staring at me from behind.

I turned around abruptly, but there was nothing there.

I quickened my pace, trying to shake off this unease.

However, the gaze behind me seemed to be getting closer and closer, almost touching my back.

My heart skipped a beat, and my back was drenched in cold sweat.

I quickened my pace and ran to the intersection ahead, intending to ambush the other party.

Just then, a large hand suddenly grabbed my arm, making me scream, "Ah!!!"

As I was gripped by sudden fear, Song Yuan suddenly grabbed my arm from behind and shouted, "Gu Mo, where are you going?"

Immediately afterwards, several other classmates gathered around and accused me of causing them to be punished by the principal by running laps.

"It's all your fault that we got punished."

"Tell me, how are you going to compensate us?"

……

I took a deep breath, my heart pounding in my chest, terrified by them. I tried to calm myself down and retorted, "You started this, and now you're blaming me? Go find the principal and settle this!"

However, Song Yuan and the others completely ignored my explanation and were eager to fight.

Just as they were about to make their move, Song Le's voice suddenly rang out behind them: "Stop!"

When I saw Song Le, I breathed a sigh of relief and jogged over to his side.

When Song Yuan saw Song Le, her expression instantly turned ugly.

She scolded, "Song Le, you're such a love-struck fool, always protecting her! Do you know she caused us to be punished by the principal for running laps?"

Upon hearing this, Song Le's face darkened, and she sternly reprimanded Song Yuan, "Song Yuan, haven't you made enough of a scene? You were the ones who started this whole thing, and you're blaming others?"

Song Yuan glared at me, her eyes reddening, and forced a smile as she said, "How dare you talk to me like that in front of outsiders! I'm going to tell my parents when we get home!"

I watched her leave angrily with a few classmates. As I watched Song Yuan's retreating figure, I felt a mix of emotions.

I sighed helplessly, feeling a pang of sadness seeing how naive she still was.

If my family hadn't gone through that misfortune, I probably would have ended up like her!

Composing myself, I looked at Song Le gratefully and said, "Thank you, Song Le."

Song Le shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm glad you're alright. If they cause you any more trouble in the future, just come find me."

I nodded, a warm feeling welling up inside me.

Song Le looked at me and apologized again for Song Yuan's behavior.

"I've heard about what happened at school. I apologize to you on her behalf. She's been spoiled by my parents."

I gently shook my head to show my understanding: "The Song family has indeed been implicated because of me, and I can understand Song Yuan's feelings. I just hope that she can learn to control her emotions in the future and not do such impulsive things again."

Upon hearing this, Song Le breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at me gratefully.

"It's great that you think that way. Actually, Song Yuan... she's just spoiled, she's not a bad person at heart. I'll try to guide her."

I smiled and nodded, thinking to myself that I should go and check out the construction site later.

"Let me take you home!" Song Le said solicitously.

I shook my head and said tactfully, "I have other things to do. Thank you for today. I'll treat you to dinner another time."

Song Le wanted to say something more, but I didn't give him a chance and left directly.

I quietly approached the vicinity of the construction site.

I had some doubts and unease, and wanted to investigate the truth of the matter myself.

So he secretly hid in a corner of the construction site and overheard two workers talking.

"I heard that when the injured person was upstairs that day, there seemed to be no one else up there," a worker said in a low voice.

"Yes, I heard about it too. This is really troublesome. I wonder how that woman was pushed down," another worker chimed in.

I was shocked. I took out my phone, turned on the recording function, and went up to question them.

"Are you telling the truth? Was there really no one else upstairs that day?"

The two workers were flustered when Gu Mo suddenly appeared.

"Who...who are you? How did you get in?"

"Didn't you see the sign saying 'No outsiders allowed'? Let's leave now."

The two workers, feeling guilty, urged me to leave, and they stumbled away.

The more they acted this way, the more I felt they were up to something.

Just then, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be surveillance cameras in the factory not far away.

A thought suddenly occurred to me: perhaps the surveillance footage could capture images of the construction site, thus revealing the truth of the matter.

So, I went to the supermarket as if nothing had happened and bought two packs of cigarettes first.

Then he went to the factory's security booth and knocked on the window: "Grandpa, can I ask you for a favor?"

The old man took off his glasses, glanced at me, and said, "I can't help."

I grinned and took out two packs of good cigarettes, handing them over: "Please, sir, make an exception for me."

The old man glanced at it, put away the newspaper in his hand, and got up to walk towards me.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I want to check the surveillance footage from the past two days. I helped an old lady a couple of days ago, and she tried to extort money from me, so..."

"Alright, you look pathetic, let's go!"

The old man took the keys and led me to the monitoring room.

half an hour later

I clutched the surveillance backup I had just received from the factory manager, feeling both relieved and nervous.

Because the surveillance footage clearly showed that the injured person fell accidentally.

My mother only climbed up the stairs to check the situation after the accident.

I feel both relieved and indignant. I'm relieved that my mother wasn't taken advantage of, but indignant that someone actually tried to frame her.

I quickly flagged down a taxi, ready to hand over this crucial piece of evidence to the police in order to clear my mother's name.

However, not long after the car drove off, an unidentified vehicle suddenly darted out from the side and tried several times to cut off my taxi.

My heart skipped a beat. I looked at the hard drive in my hand and tucked it into the gap between the car seats, just in case.

The driver gripped the steering wheel nervously, his face pale.

"Young lady, have you offended someone? This car has been following us."

I was also very flustered, but I tried my best to stay calm and answered in a restrained voice.

"I don't know either! Master, can't we just shake them off?"

My first thought was to message Jiang Yichen, but the unidentified vehicle suddenly accelerated.

The next second, it suddenly crashed into the taxi I was in.

The driver screamed in terror and swerved to avoid it, but the car still shook violently and almost went out of control.

I gripped the armrest tightly, silently telling myself, "It's okay, it's okay."

I kept inhaling and exhaling, and then a sudden inspiration struck me.
