Chapter 1285 He hates others but he hates himself more

What should he do when he sees Liu Zibo?

Now, he hated himself more than Liu Zibo. He hated himself for being useless and ignoring such important things. The truth was so close to him, but he ignored it because of his arrogance.

He wanted to die with Gu Wanqiu.

This is what it means to feel hopeless.

But he cannot die, because this life was given to him by Gu Wanqiu for the sake of her three children. It no longer belongs to him. Gu Wanqiu's blood is flowing in his body.

They had separated but it seemed not completely separated. His right hand grasped his left wrist, feeling the pulse under the skin, where the blood was flowing. He seemed to still be able to feel Gu Wanqiu's presence.

He Tian and Zhou Yi quickly arranged a car. Li Jinxing got in and looked out the window with a dull look, without a trace of life, like a puppet. It was hard not to worry about him.

Liu Zibo sent another message.

"If you don't come soon, Jiang Yun's life will be gone, and that painting will be gone too."

Li Jinxing held the phone tightly and replied, "I'm on my way."

Li Jin walked in a hurry, and his face looked very ugly when he left. Everyone in the manor saw it and felt that something big had happened. Everyone in the room was worried.

When all of them went to help Li Jinxing find something, they had already noticed that something was very wrong. There were several noises coming from the study. When He Tian and Zhou Yi went in, the noises were especially loud. It seemed like a fight had broken out.

They didn't dare to ask too much about what had happened, nor did they want to ask. Those who work here should listen less and do more. Never know what you shouldn't know. Knowing too much can easily lead to trouble.

Without Li Jinxing's instructions, the driver drove very fast. After leaving Qiule Manor and passing a certain intersection, Li Jinxing suddenly turned his head to look at the banyan tree outside the window. Some vague fragments rushed into his mind. He suddenly wanted to jump down, get to the banyan tree, and dig up the soil there...

He suppressed such thoughts. What was the most important thing now? Of course, it was to see that Liu Zibo wanted him to go that way, and that painting, and to be able to save Jiang Yun. He couldn't stop.

When we arrived at the place, we found out that it was an old community that was about to be demolished. It was on the edge of the city and very remote. There were not many people around. The community that was about to be demolished was sealed off by a red line.

He Tian arranged for a sniper to squat in the distance. He Tian looked around and saw that it was quite quiet, which made him feel a little uneasy.

The quieter it was, the more it felt like the calm before the storm. Li Jinxing got out of the car and went up without saying a word.

He Tian stopped him: "Wait a little longer..."

"I'm already here, what are you waiting for?" Li Jinxing looked at him, "I won't die."

This is not bragging, but a hunch. Liu Zibo will not let him die. He has been dormant for so long, and suddenly seeing him, it should not be as simple as letting him die.

He put himself in Liu Zibo's shoes and knew very well that Liu Zibo hated him. It would be too easy to kill him directly. What he wanted was to make him live a life worse than death.

Liu Zibo has been hiding for so many years, which shows that he is still patient. Now he suddenly shows up, wants to see him directly, and kidnaps Jiang Yun, which can only mean that something happened to him.

"I've kept your words in mind. I have Gu Wanqiu's blood in my body. She gave me this life. Even if I want to die, I have to think about her child. Besides, I haven't settled my score with you yet, so I won't die."

The car drove for an hour, and during this hour, Li Jinxing regained his composure and returned to his normal self.

Seeing Li Jinxing like this, He Tian and Zhou Yi felt much more relieved. They wanted to go up with him so that they could help if he encountered any danger.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, he heard a voice from upstairs. Liu Zibo was standing at the window on the eighth floor. There was a piece missing from the window there, and it was protected only by a railing. He just stuck his head out.

"Li Jinxing, I want you to come up alone." He was holding a loudspeaker in his hand, and his voice sounded even harsher when heard this way.

"Boss..."

"It's fine."

He had been able to beat Liu Zibo and make him childless before, and he could do it now. What's more, he had no place to vent his anger and resentment, so he came at the right time.

When Li Jinxing went upstairs, he saw Jiang Yun's half-naked body. She was hung up, and her body was full of ambiguous marks. Even though Li Jinxing didn't have much feelings for her, his pupils shrank when he saw her like this.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what Jiang Yun has been through, and there are so many men around her.

Seeing Li Jinxing coming in alone, Liu Zibo smiled sinisterly. He did not speak to Li Jinxing, but whipped Jiang Yun hard with the bamboo whip in his hand. Jiang Yun's hands were already engorged with blood. His entire arm was pulled up to bear the weight of his entire body, and his shoulder joint seemed to be torn off.

She screamed, but her eyes did not open.

Liu Zibo smiled and said, "Jiang Yun, open your eyes and look, your sweetheart is here."

Li Jinxing gritted his teeth and looked over. Perhaps it was because Jiang Yun's face looked too much like Gu Wanqiu's. When he saw Jiang Yun being abused like this, he wondered if Gu Wanqiu was also like this during those years when Liu Zibo took her away.

When Jiang Yun heard the word "sweetheart", she knew that Li Jinxing had come. Her eyelashes trembled, and Li Jinxing's figure broke into her misty vision. He walked into her world like a ray of light.

But she didn't dare to get close, because light has a fatal attraction to moths, and the end of a moth flying into the fire is to be burned to death.

She really didn't want to appear in front of Li Jinxing in this state. She wanted to cover her body, but her body was hung up. She could only lower her head, covering her ears and stealing the bell, and silently repeating in her mouth, "Don't look, don't look..."

But no matter how many times she repeated it, the eyes that lingered on her body did not disappear.

"Let her go." Li Jinxing finally spoke.

Liu Zibo said, "Why should I let her go? She's mine. I paid for her face, and I arranged for her to be by your side. Li Jinxing, you're not feeling pity for her when you see her face, are you? It's true. After all, she looks quite like Gu Wanqiu, but her personality is so different. I've taught her many times, but she just can't learn. But recently, I've noticed that you like her quite a bit. As soon as Gu Wanqiu left, you kept her by your side. Are you thinking of using her as a replacement?"

Li Jinxing said coldly: "I am not you."

"No." Liu Zibo shook his head. "You and I are similar. Don't we both want to destroy something if we can't get it?"

Li Jinxing didn't want to waste time talking to him. He was already murderous. Looking at the people in front of him, he walked up and observed. There were no extra people in the corridor. The people he brought with him could sneak in from the other side of the corridor, and with the help of the sniper in the distance, they could kill these people in front of him.

But Liu Zibo couldn't die yet. He hadn't gotten his things back yet and hadn't asked clearly.

He now had the same idea as Liu Zibo. Rather than killing him with a single shot, he would rather inflict double the pain that Gu Wanqiu had suffered on him.

Liu Zibo's complexion looked very abnormal, pale with a hint of blue. One could tell at a glance that he was sick and looked like he was about to die.

He's dying, so he can't wait any longer.

Liu Zibo walked with a limp. He didn't even look at Li Jinxing, as if he didn't take him seriously at all, or perhaps he was not afraid of death at all.

What kind of people are not afraid of death? One type is the dying person, who knows that he will not live long.

Liu Zibo belongs to this category.

He knew why Liu Zibo called him here today. He wanted to use Jiang Yun's current appearance to stimulate him, make him ask about the miserable life Gu Wanqiu had lived in those years, and put the bloody truth in front of him to stimulate him.

Li Jinxing appeared calm on the surface, but in fact his heart ached every moment. The more this happened, the more he had to pretend to be ruthless.

"Where are my paintings?"

When Liu Zibo heard him ask, he laughed out loud. He was not surprised at all that Li Jinxing asked about the painting. He mocked Jiang Yun and said, "As expected, you value that painting more than saving people. Jiang Yun, are you disappointed?"

It would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed, but so what? She had already guessed this result.

"Li Jinxing, you are so heartless. You love yourself the most. You didn't ask about what Gu Wanqiu had been through, and now you don't even want to help Jiang Yun. How come so many people like you, a heartless person like you? Jiang Yun is like that, and so is Gu Wanqiu, did you know that? When I tied Gu Wanqiu up to me and tortured her, the name she called out the most was yours. She hated you so much, but she couldn't forget you, and she still hoped that you could come and save her, just like Jiang Yun is now, overestimating her own abilities."

Liu Zibo recalled the past and said it sarcastically while observing Li Jinxing's expression. There was no extra expression on his face, and he was still so cold.

"Look at Jiang Yun's face. Isn't it quite successful? Every time I look at her, I can't help but think of Gu Wanqiu, and the way she screamed in pain under me. Oh, you've been with Gu Wanqiu for such a long time, you should know what injuries she has. Do you know how they came about? I'll tell you slowly."

Li Jinxing's eyes changed, and the murderous intent became stronger and stronger.

Liu Zibo said, "She destroyed her face herself. I was attracted to her face at first and loved it very much. I've never seen a woman as beautiful as her. She knew I liked her face, so she scratched her face with a fallen tile. Do you know what a tile is? It's harder than a knife. It hurts when you scratch it hard on your face. That's how she got the wound on her face. In order not to expose our whereabouts, I didn't take her to the hospital no matter how badly she was injured. I just found a needle and threaded it and sewed her face up. You don't know..."

"Gu Wanqiu was so beautiful back then, with blood all over her face and shivers all over her body. Her screams were beautiful, but she kept screaming until I got tired of it, so I poured boiling water down her throat. And her feet. One winter, it snowed heavily and she tried to escape, so I caught her and made her stand barefoot in the snow. That's how her feet got frozen, and I ended up having a few toes amputated. Her eyes got sick from looking at too much snow and crying too much. As for her hands... they were already disabled, so I couldn't just take her in for nothing. So I made her my servant, mopping the floor, washing my feet, and doing rough work..."

"Tsk tsk, you haven't seen Gu Wanqiu in those years. She was absolutely obedient. She did whatever I said. How dare she disobey?" Liu Zibo frowned and raised the bamboo whip in his hand to hit Jiang Yun fiercely.

"When she disobeyed, I hung her up and beat her like this. In the end, I drove her crazy. She couldn't even speak, only screaming. She hid in the corner and refused to work. No matter how I beat her, she didn't obey. It was such a pity. There are many more things. I probably can't finish talking about them today. After all, it's been nearly five years. Look at Jiang Yun now. She looks a bit like Gu Wanqiu in her early years. The face looks similar, so it was easy for me to find a sense of substitution."

Li Jinxing's heart felt like it had been dug out and roasted on a fire. His already red eyes were now frighteningly red, and he could no longer conceal his murderous intent towards Li Jinxing.

He looked really scary, but Liu Zibo was not afraid of it. He was even satisfied with Li Jinxing's expression, as if he saw a work that was about to be completed.

"Li Jinxing, I think you can understand how I feel. It's that sudden sense of accomplishment when you force a proud and arrogant person to kneel down and beg for mercy. Didn't you want Gu Wanqiu to submit to you from the beginning? You didn't do it, but I did."

He suddenly felt proud because he had accomplished what Li Jinxing had not done.

He forced Miss Gu to kneel down and beg for mercy, and watched the person who once had a halo running around like a street rat.

Liu Zibo wants to gain Li Jinxing's approval because they are so similar.

Li Jinxing couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over to kill him, wanting to beat his face to pieces.

Liu Zibo had already identified the right moment, took a step back, and took the painting out of his shirt. The painting, which had been well protected by Li Jinxing, now had several creases on it.

Liu Zibo didn't cherish this painting. He looked at the signature on it.

"Gu Wanqiu gave it to you, right?" He pretended to tear it apart.

"Liu Zibo, you dare!" Li Jinxing roared and stopped his next action.

Li Jinxing's eyes were red with anger: "If you dare to damage it, I will make you die miserably!"

Liu Zibo was not affected at all, and smiled sinisterly: "Isn't it just a painting? Why don't you ask Gu Wanqiu to draw another one? Oh——"

He dragged out his voice, "I forgot, Gu Wanqiu's hands are broken, she can't paint anymore, and now... she is probably dead, so is this the only thing you miss about her? Then I want it even more..."

As he spoke, he exerted force with his hands and tore the painting without hesitation. Not enough at once, he folded it in half again and tore the painting into pieces in front of Li Jinxing, making it difficult to put it back together.

He knew exactly how to hurt Li Jinxing and knew his weaknesses. He was not afraid of Li Jinxing now. Seeing him angry and in pain was his purpose today.

What do you think, Li Jinxing? Seeing the most important thing being destroyed in front of you, and you want to save it but can't, don't you feel unwilling?
