Chapter 228: 228: This is simply a deadly kill.

Huang Shou let down his guard, and Gu Tong’s heart finally steadied a bit.

"Brother, I’ve been wronged..."

Gu Tong didn’t change her pitiful look; the bitterness in her heart finally became unbearable, and she tearfully complained as if she was confessing to a family member.

Just like that, she cried.

It almost broke Huang Shou’s heart.

His heart was in his throat,

"Sister, don’t cry, take your time, take your time, whatever happened, your brother here will find justice for you..."

He hurriedly comforted her, quickly slipping into the role.

In almost no time, he had adapted to the ’brother’ identity.

"Brother, I’ve really met a good person. If my real brother were half as good as you, I wouldn’t be in this situation now..."

Tears streaked down Gu Tong’s white, soft face; she sobbed while looking intently at Huang Shou, treating him like a beacon of hope.

"Yes, yes, I’m a good person. Sister, take your time, don’t cry, don’t cry..."

Huang Shou felt as if his heart was going to burst with pity.

He almost wanted to rush out and question everyone around! If he found out who made this beautiful sister so sad,

he could just cut him down on the spot.

"My real brother is a gambling addict, playing cards day in and day out, neglecting proper work. He’s a well-known loafer in our village, and after my parents passed early, they left us a little something, but he squandered it all away..."

"After we ran out of things at home, I thought he would hold back after running out of money, but who would have thought he would become even worse, accruing a lot of debt, and in the end, the debt collectors came, threatening to sell me to pay it off..."

Gu Tong’s body kept shaking, tears streaming as she spoke, her grievance and fear laid bare.

"Is he even human! Selling his own sister! If I ever see him, I’d chop him to pieces!"

Huang Shou was furious as he listened and was immediately filled with rage.

"I was terrified too; the local ruffians and hooligans in the village have been eyeing me for a long while. I even suspect they set up a trap for my brother, luring him in, but he was so foolish to fall for it..."

"In the world of gambling, there are many rules, and for an outsider like him, he would surely suffer a great loss. Others scheming against him would be a foregone conclusion!"

Huang Shou frowned, as someone with experience in the gambling world, he was well aware of its intricacies.

The plan was halfway successful.

Gu Tong covered her face, a gleam of cleverness flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her gaze to glance at the already confused Zhao Yong, and said, "Actually, my brother was later kind to me, perhaps out of a guilty conscience, and he told me about all this, then sent me to the village entrance to escape..."

She pointed at Zhao Yong with her index finger, forcibly awakening him, indirectly reminding him of his ’cheap brother’ identity!

"Well, at least he had a conscience!"

Huang Shou finally breathed a sigh of relief, not as angry anymore.

After all, it’s his own sister; how could he just sell her?

What’s more, with such a beautiful sister, wouldn’t making her cry be heart-wrenching?

If she were his own sister, the very thought pained Huang Shou.

"I was really scared too, just kept running and running. The mountain road was dark, wolves howling, and after who-knows-how-long, I finally saw the light, and that’s how I got here. Brother, do you think this is fate..."

Gu Tong batted her eyelids, her lashes glistening with tear crystals, her gaze landing on Huang Shou. She bit her lower lip, urgently needing affirmation.

"Yes, yes! Fate! It must be fate! Destiny! It’s destiny!"

Huang Shou nodded vigorously, almost like a pecking chicken, staring unblinkingly at Gu Tong, feeling as if he was about to be melted by her gaze.

Who could withstand such a look...

It’s simply a deadly charm!
