Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Punishment, Locked in the Morgue
"Because, Gu Yan is fine, General Manager, please be generous and let us go!"
Qin Juan was also pleading on the side.
Tang Yuxiu didn’t want to waste any more words on them, "The fear and harm she experienced, you will soon experience yourselves."
Leaving her alone in the music room at night, the mental and physical harm she suffered, let them experience it themselves!
Tang Yuxiu instructed You Shuyang to take them out and deal with them as necessary.
Yao Xue and Qin Juan looked ashen, realizing there was truly no room for negotiation.
You Shuyang led the two downstairs, both trembling as they followed, and the employees who saw this were curious.
"What’s Assistant You doing with them? Why do those two look so pale?"
Hearing the whispered speculations of passing employees, Yao Xue wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Originally, she thought being summoned by the General Manager could be something to brag about for some time, but she didn’t expect it to be about Gu Yan and a way to hold them accountable!
What exactly is the relationship between Gu Yan and the General Manager that led to him personally investigating and ordering punishment at the slightest incident?
Yao Xue clenched her fists, Gu Yan, don’t let me catch your slip-up, I will have my revenge!
In the music room, Gu Yan, who was practicing, had no idea what was unfolding in the General Manager’s office, nor did she know what punishment awaited Yao Xue and Qin Juan, and she was equally unaware that Yao Xue’s hatred for her had risen to new heights.
Truly inexplicable hostility, inexplicable hatred.
Gu Yan focused on practicing the piano, forgetting about Tang Yuxiu and all the unpleasantness.
What Yao Xue and Qin Juan didn’t expect was that You Shuyang took them to the hospital morgue!
Xiang Linghao opened the door of the morgue, looking at the two women who were huddled together shaking and whiter than a sheet, and asked, "What kind of temper is Tang Yuxiu in to treat two girls like this?"
Locked in the morgue, even normal men can’t handle it, let alone these two women who were scared just by the word "morgue."
You Shuyang explained expressionlessly, "These two women are the culprits of the incident."
Xiang Linghao paused, instantly understanding.
So it’s for Gu Yan that he’s so angry.
Yet these two are bold enough to mess with Tang Yuxiu’s woman!
Sigh, the fights between women can be so vicious, without thinking of the consequences.
Yao Xue and Qin Juan felt wronged, they never thought at the time that Gu Yan could be related to Tang Yuxiu,
Yao Xue knew that Nie Rong called her last time saying she saw Tang Yuxiu and Gu Yan dining together, but her heart refused to believe it, wanting to teach her a lesson, without caring about much else.
You Shuyang coldly faced them, "Go in yourselves or should I do it?"
At this point, Yao Xue didn’t dare show anger in front of him, pleading with a distressed face, "Assistant You, please don’t make me go in! I beg you!"
Qin Juan was so frightened she burst into tears, crying out, "Assistant You, I know I was wrong, please let us go!"
You Shuyang felt nothing, maintaining a business-like demeanor, "This is the General Manager’s order, I cannot defy it."
"Then go talk to the General Manager for us, plead for us!" Yao Xue looked at him expectantly, but her tone was as if she shared the same authority as his superior.
You Shuyang let out a quiet huff, "Why should I plead for you?"
Yao Xue was stunned, then irrational anger took over, "Are you even a man! To heartlessly watch us go into a place for the dead! Do you have a conscience?"
You Shuyang was baffled by her reaction, while Xiang Linghao’s mouth twitched slightly, what was this about?
He felt an odd sense of witnessing a wife accusing her husband of being weak and heartless.
You Shuyang’s expression turned cold, "Miss Yao, let me clarify, first, you’re not anyone to me, second, your attitude when pleading is so poor, even if I had a bit of pity for you before, now I just want to quickly execute my orders, you’re right, this is a morgue, I don’t want to stay here any longer either, so Miss Yao and Miss Qin, please enter yourselves, don’t make me use force, the General Manager has already been merciful by not separating you two."
If left alone in the morgue, one might faint from fear already upon entering.
Upon hearing this, Yao Xue’s body went limp, about to collapse, but no one found pity for her.
Qin Juan glared at her in resentment, "It’s all your fault! There was a chance!"
Yao Xue shot her a fierce glare, "Shut up!"
Xiang Linghao impatiently knocked on the morgue door, "Hey, are you going in or not? I have other patients to attend to."
Yao Xue and Qin Juan still didn’t move, and You Shuyang glanced at Xiang Linghao, speaking with a firm tone, "Help me drag one in."
Xiang Linghao shook his head, "Two women are nothing to you, I’ll just handle closing the door, hurry up, this place is also quite chilly."
As he spoke, he shuddered for effect.
The two women trembled in fear, and You Shuyang, having no other choice, took action himself.
Being trained, he grabbed one in each hand, using brute force to drag them towards the morgue.
Yao Xue and Qin Juan struggled desperately on either side, trying to pry his hands off, but it was like an iron clamp, immovable.
You Shuyang forcefully threw the two inside, and they couldn’t stop in time, hitting the ground hard.
He quickly withdrew, and Xiang Linghao shut the morgue door at the same time.
In the morgue, Yao Xue and Qin Juan frantically crawled towards the door, pounding on it with all their might, shouting hoarsely, "Let us out! Let us out!"
Outside, You Shuyang said only one sentence, "The manager’s order is that you stay here for a day and a night, regardless of life or death."
The temperature in the morgue was already low. They were only wearing short sleeves and skirts, and as soon as they got in, they were freezing. But those words were like a bone-chilling wind from Siberia, making them feel even colder.
Regardless of life or death!
The manager is that ruthless, willing to take their lives for the sake of Gu Yan!
Isn’t she fine? Why must we be treated this way!
Gu Yan! Just you wait, if I make it out alive, I will not let you get away with it!
Yao Xue hugged her arms, leaning back against the morgue door, her eyes gradually filled with icy hatred.
Qin Juan was still desperately pounding on the door, hoping someone would let them out.
Yao Xue shouted impatiently, "Stop knocking; everyone’s gone!"
Qin Juan’s eyes were red, and she was still crying, "It’s all your fault. I said not to do that, but you wouldn’t listen. You said no one would find out, and now the manager has locked us in this place!"
Qin Juan cautiously looked around. There were corpses of people who had just died in the hospital, exuding a chilling coldness; she was terrified!
Yao Xue said fiercely, "I won’t let that woman Gu Yan off!"
"You’re still thinking of causing her trouble, but don’t forget where we are now—it’s uncertain if we can get out after a day and night!"
Yao Xue snorted coldly and said no more, clutching her arms tightly.
You Shuyang and Xiang Linghao went downstairs.
"Tang Yuxiu is so angry; do you really think he has no feelings for that Gu Yan?"
"How could I believe that?" You Shuyang said without hesitation. He had witnessed how Tang Yuxiu interacted with Gu Yan. Tang Yuxiu broke rules for her many times, changed a lot, though he might not realize it, but as an observer, You Shuyang saw it all clearly.
"Sigh, how can his emotional intelligence be so low when it’s so obvious."
"How do you know the young master doesn’t understand anything?" You Shuyang glanced at him faintly. After reaching the floor where Xiang Linghao worked, he left him with, "Keep an eye on those two people," and headed to the elevator, preparing to return to the company.
Xiang Linghao stood in place, mulling over You Shuyang’s previous remark, rubbed his chin, could it be that he knows but is pretending not to?
Damn, his emotional intelligence would be way too high then!
To feign ignorance about such a matter.
Back at the company, You Shuyang reported on the situation he handled, Tang Yuxiu nodded indifferently, showing no reaction.
Just as he was about to leave, Tang Yuxiu suddenly spoke, "Don’t let this get out."
He gave the order without needing to spell it out, and You Shuyang understood what he meant.
He must simply not let Gu Yan know.
When did the manager become so considerate, giving without seeking recognition?
Hmm, praiseworthy indeed.
At six in the evening, Gu Yan finished her piano practice, took out her phone, and checked; there were no missed calls, nor was there any caller ID displayed.
You Shuyang hadn’t called today, meaning Tang Yuxiu didn’t ask him to.
It makes sense; after this morning, if Tang Yuxiu had initiated a call, it would have been downright masochistic.
Suppressing that slight disappointment inside, she took her music sheets and left the practice room.
Passing by the modeling team, she didn’t see the figures of Yao Xue and Qin Juan, but she didn’t care.
In the office, Wang Qi was packing up to leave. Upon seeing Gu Yan, she raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh, heading back right on time today?"
"Meeting a friend, so I need to finish work on time." Gu Yan stored her music sheets in her drawer, picked up her backpack, and was ready to leave.
Wang Qi was also done tidying up, so the two left together.
"Meeting your boyfriend?" Wang Qi teased.
"No, it’s a girl, just came back from abroad yesterday, it’s been a while since we last met."
"I see."
Gu Yan paused, suddenly remembering she wanted to treat Wang Qi to a meal, and wanted to introduce her to Xue Xianglan, so she said offhandedly, "You want to come with me? The person I’m meeting is a good friend of mine, I think you’d get along well."
Wang Qi shook her head, "I’d better not interfere, you haven’t seen each other for a long time and must have personal things to talk about, maybe next time."
Gu Yan didn’t insist, "Alright then."
"By the way, where are you meeting your friend, do you need me to drop you off?"
"No need, it’s not on your way. You go ahead, I’ll just take the bus."
"Okay, see you tomorrow, bye-bye."
"Bye-bye."
