Chapter 437

If Qiao Muting were to step in, this matter would be very easy to resolve.

However...

【Thank you, not necessary for now. Zhang Tezhu has already introduced a lawyer to me. I have explained the situation to the lawyer, and the police should arrive very soon.】

Qiao Muting, who was at the Qiao Group, narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing Shu Xia's reply.

He set his phone aside.

Lu Ze would handle this matter well.

Just then, a call from Gu Jianzhang came through.

"Is the Lin Family out of their minds? Isn't this just asking for death? They actually contacted a production crew this morning to go to our Gu Corporation Building, and then they wanted to interview my dad's employees, trying to use our Gu Corporation to elevate their show. The Lin Family has something wrong with their brains, and the director of this show has shit for brains! Do they think our Gu Family is easy to use, or that your wife is easy to bully?"

It was clear that this move by the Lin Family had disgusted Gu Jianzhang.

Qiao Muting lit a cigarette; the sense of distance revealed in the message Shu Xia had just replied with made him inexplicably irritable. "How did you handle it?"

Gu Jianzhang felt his hair stand on end listening to Qiao Muting's voice. "Gu Cheng has plenty of ways to deal with these scoundrels, both legal and illegal."

"We gathered a wave of dirt on this show and kept it on the trending list for a month, and exposed the Lin Family's business along with it. Don't worry, we didn't involve Shu Xia from start to finish. They shouldn't have provoked our Gu Family; if some people accidentally end up with broken arms or legs or get chased by loan sharks, that's just their own bad luck."

Qiao Muting seemed very satisfied. "Hmm, have you looked into the director of this production crew?"

"Checked, there's definitely something there." Gu Jianzhang knew what kind of person Qiao Muting was—decisive and ruthless, never soft-hearted.

If he were in ancient times, one could say he would kill without blinking.

"Our goal is very simple. We hope you can fulfill your duty as a daughter, go to the hospital to see Mom, and then help us take care of her. Mom is currently at a critical stage of recovery, and she must have her family by her side." Lin Bin stood on the moral high ground to make his request.

The host took the opportunity to persuade her: "Although you have only just returned to their side, it is undeniable that Ms. Chen is your biological mother. She is at the time when she needs family the most. No matter what reasons you have, you shouldn't refuse to show up at a time like this. We understand that you were displaced since childhood, but you should also understand your mother. If she could, she would absolutely never have let you be displaced."

"That's right, Xia Xia, I think you should just go to the hospital with them and take a look."

"You are so filial to your adoptive mother, why are you ignoring your own biological mother?"

"If it were me, I would definitely go to the hospital to fulfill my filial duty."

The people on the side spoke up one after another for Lin Bin and the others.

Seeing this, the host was suddenly full of confidence in the ratings. Once the show aired, the image of a vicious daughter would surely spark discussion.

Everyone was very curious to know if this cold-hearted daughter would finally go to the hospital in the end.

Lin Bin was very satisfied with the current result.

What he wanted was to force Shu Xia.

"Look, everyone is saying the same thing. The eyes of the masses are sharp. No one living in this world can be truly cold-hearted. Your mother is in the hospital room, thinking of you from morning till night, hoping to see you. A patient's heart is at its most fragile at this time. You didn't grow up by her side, and no one is in more pain than her." The host continued to persuade her, pressing the advantage.

Shu Xia looked at Lin Bin and said with a mocking smile, "Is it really as simple as just asking me to go to the hospital?"

Lin Bin frowned tightly, his expression somewhat unnatural. "Mom hopes you can go to the hospital to take care of her, and she hopes you can stay by her side in the future. Move back home; that way Mom can see you whenever she wants."

"A moment ago you said it was just to go to the hospital for a look, and now it's to take care of her. For the next step, do you want me to quit my job and be a free nanny for your whole family?" Shu Xia asked back with a cold laugh.

Lin Bin's brows furrowed even tighter. "Don't put it so harshly. If you quit your job and take care of Mom at home, we will give you money, more than you earn at work. Isn't that great?"
