Chapter 1251: Chapter 1255 Definitely Like Lingchi

With his help, his son’s undercover mission came to a successful conclusion.

He had originally thought that he could finally reunite with his son.

Little did he know, his son had no desire to reunite with him but was constantly yearning to be with Ye Xingbei.

But his son was as tragic as him; by the time his son found Ye Xingbei, she had already married someone else.

His son is a hero.

His son should not have ended up with the same fate as him.

Helping his son get Ye Xingbei became his obsession.

He wanted to help his son find happiness.

Yet he never anticipated that his actions would lead his son to unhesitatingly direct a dagger towards his own body.

Thinking of Duan Yanbing’s unblinking eyes as he stabbed the dagger into his own shoulder, he shuddered violently, his vision darkened, he stumbled back a few steps, and steadied himself on the door frame.

He closed his eyes in pain and murmured, “Ruanruan, I did it all for our son… I wanted to help our son be happy… I want to see our son happy… Ruanruan, you surely understand my heartfelt intentions, right Ruanruan?… I’ve always known that you’re the only one who truly understands me…”

Unfortunately, he had been blinded at the beginning, deceived, and forever lost his true love.

Regret beyond measure.

Duan Yanbing sped all the way back to the Gu family estate.

After parking, he staggered out of the car and fell to his knees at the base of the steps with a “thud.”

Just then, Gu Chi walked out of the living room and was shocked by the scene. He hurried down the steps, bending over to help him, “Master Duan, what happened to you?”

Duan Yanbing’s knees seemed rooted to the ground, unmovable by Gu Chi.

Gu Chi urgently asked, “Master Duan, were you ambushed? Hurry!”

Gu Chi waved to the bodyguards behind him, “Quick, get a doctor over here.”

Duan Yanbing remained silent, head bowed.

The doctor arrived in haste, but he refused to let the doctor treat him, just kept his head lowered as he knelt.

Having no choice, Gu Chi ordered the doctor to take good care of Duan Yanbing, then he swiftly turned around to find Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei.

In the bedroom.

The bodyguard had bought perilla.

After taking the antidote that Lian Jinshang had given to the gigolo in the hotel, provided by Gu Junzhu using perilla, he broke out in a heavy sweat, in excruciating agony.

Ye Xingbei was terrified, her face pale, sweating profusely, unsure what to do.

About ten minutes later, the pain in Gu Junzhu’s body lessened somewhat, and despite Qiao Zui and Ye Xingbei’s objections, he took a shower.

After the shower, Gu Junzhu undid his bathrobe, showing the two a red bean-sized mark on his chest, “The antidote worked, but it seems it only half worked. That woman said this mark comes from taking Joy of Reunion. It was originally blood-red, now it turned pink, much lighter than before taking her antidote, but it hasn’t completely gone away.”

Ye Xingbei grasped his hand, nervously asking, “Are you still in pain?”

Gu Junzhu shook his head, “No more pain.”

Ye Xingbei let out a sigh of relief, but her heart still felt uneasy, “Could it be only temporary and turned pink? What if on the night of the full moon, if you don’t do something with her, it will turn back to blood-red and hurt like before?”

Without a scream of pain, she saw Gu Junzhu grapple with constant cold sweats and his muscles tensed like iron, realizing how much pain he endured.

Absolutely akin to being slowly ripped apart.

What if her guess was right, and on the night of the full moon, the pink mark on his chest turned back to a blood-red mark and that kind of agony returned?

Lian Jinshang was dead, there was no one to provide a second dose of the antidote.

“There’s that possibility.” As the pain gradually receded like a tide, Gu Junzhu could finally think clearly.

He thought for a moment, took out his phone, and accessed the video from the hotel where Lian Jinshang and the gigolo were intimate.
