All the attentions turned from Zuo Si, the bride, to the LED screen.
The video was obviously recorded in secrecy, judging from the distance and the angle the video was taken. Bai Yufang’s words guiding Grandpa Gu into hypnotization could be heard indistinctively from the video playing on the LED screen.
She was guiding Grandpa Gu into believing that he had fallen down the stairs by accident and had nothing to do with anyone else, while the actual memory of him falling down the stairs was blurred.
From the video, Grandpa Gu repeated after her words while she kept asking him how he had fallen down the stairs. He repeatedly answered that he had fallen down the stairs by accident.
The video was a clip that lasted only five minutes, but the highlight of the video had been broadcasted for all to see.
When Grandpa Gu fell down the stairs and went into a coma, Gu Corporation, too, fell into chaos. There were talks of conspiracy theory behind his sudden illness. But they had never expected it to be an attempt for his life.
Although the truth about how Grandpa Gu fell down the stairs was not mentioned, the fact she tried to distort Grandpa Gu’s memory to cover up for the crime had proven enough that she was involved in the incident.
She was the god-daughter of Grandpa Gu. Thus, Grandpa Gu had always helped the Xiao family in their business, providing them with a good chance of business developments. Grandpa Gu even treated Bai Yufang like his own and doted on Xiao Chun like she was his own granddaughter.
Grandpa Gu treated her so well, but she repaid his kindness with enmity.
Commotions raised among the crowds as all their eyes were on at Bai Yufang in unison.
Bai Yufang was seated next to Grandpa Gu as she had been accompanying Grandpa Gu, shielding him away from those that wanted to talk to him or to get near him, taking care of him in every way she could.
Not only did she not show any sign of panic after seeing the video exposing her crime, her expression was stony instead, with her brows tightly knitted. She could still carry the air of “true blue will never stain” with her.
The wedding was interrupted because of this and likely could not be carried on unless the truth behind this incident was exposed. Bai Yufang stood up.
She gestured to the emcee, who stepped forward and handed the microphone to her. She turned around and faced Gu Yu first. “Yu, I’m so sorry for this. I have no idea who came up with the fabricated video and choose this time to broadcast it to the public for everyone to see. In order to stop the interruption to your wedding, I have the responsibility to make a clarification regarding the video. Spare me a few minutes.”
Gu Yu looked towards Zuo Si, who stood halfway down the red carpet, as if seeking her agreement.
Zuo Si gently nodded at him. Gu Yu replied to Bai Yufang, “Okay.”
Bai Yufang faced the crowd and cleared her throat. Unhurriedly, she spoke, “I’m Grandpa Gu’s psychiatrist, and I provided him with counseling and treatment service often. This video showed me giving him psychological counseling and treatment, but I said nothing like that. I had never hypnotized Mr. Gu Sr., nor did I forcibly distorted his memory. This video is a nonsense…”
“Today is Yu and Zuo Si’s wedding. I believe this video was released to create havoc and ruin the wedding. I believe the culprit was not among you that came to witness the happiness of the newly wed. Who was the one that does not want to see Yu and Zuo Si’s happiness at being married?”
