Chapter 571: You Know Who I am

Zhou Huaijin looked very furious.

Chaoyan and he had discussed suing Gu Zhenkang at the Government Office, and Zhou Huaijin did approve of the idea, but he did not know that she had to be hit just for one case.

Gu Chaoyan said anxiously, “Come here, Huaijin.”

Gu Chaoyan tugged at her blanket and covered her back. Zhou Huaijin was a very close person to her, but she was still quite shy about showing her naked back.

Hearing what Gu Chaoyan said, Zhou Huaijin came to her side.

The moment he came to the bedside, Gu Chaoyan asked him to sit down as she said, “Don’t go to the Government Office. I hit the drum to seek justice, and according to the rules, anyone who hits the drum needs to receive five hits on the back. That is a rule, and I am no exception. So the Officer has done nothing wrong.”

“The guards at the Government Office spared their force too, so the wound isn’t that serious though it does look bad. As long as I don’t get internal wounds, I will be better very soon. It just takes a few days for the wounds to heal.” Gu Chaoyan consoled him and she was telling the truth as well.

Only now did Zhou Huaijin stop looking furious, but he was frowning. “I need to see the wound.”

Gu Chaoyan did not stop him. He was feeling concerned about her, so if she showed her the wound, he might stop being as worried as he was now.

When Zhou Huaijin revealed the blanket and saw the wound, he gasped.

Gu Chaoyan added as she heard the gasping, “I have used my own cream, so it should be okay tomorrow. I need to confront Gu Zhenkang the day after tomorrow, please don’t be so worried.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded. “Alright.”

However, he was still worried. He needed to go to the Government Office the day after tomorrow personally. Otherwise he would not know if Chaoyan was bullied.

***

Gu Chaoyan did not exaggerate her own medical cream – the wound was much better the following day with only shallow tracks left there. That made Zhou Huaijin feel very assured.

The third day arrived.

It was the time for the case to be publicly reviewed at the Government Office.

Early in the morning, guards from the Government Office came to get Gu Chaoyan, who took her own wagons whilst the guards were following behind her.

Since it was a publicly-reviewed case, many civilians were already gathered at the gate of the Government Office.

There were a lot more people gathered at the doorstep this time than ever.

After all, the Government Office normally took small cases from the civilians whilst this time, the case was about the most talked-about family in the whole capital. It was a conflict between the Elder Miss and the Old Master of the Gu Family!

They had never witnessed a case like this, so they were all here watching the show.

Gu Chaoyan arrived at the Government Office first. The Officer gave her a seat to wait for Gu Zhenkang to arrive.

***

At the Gu Mansion.

Dozens of guards from the Government Office came to the Gu Mansion. Before the guards had time to pass on the message, the guards from the Government Office rushed in and said, “Officer Gu, you have been served, please do come with us.”

Those guards could come to the mansion without permission. That was a written rule.

Well, normally guards did not dare to do so, and the rule was ignored, but this Officer had a different opinion.

When Gu Zhenkang came out of the room, he got taken by the guards directly.

Gu Zhenkang did not feel happy being demeaned like this. He bellowed directly, “How dare you take me, do you know who I am!”
