Chapter 5: The Yandere Doctor's Little Cripple - A Narrow Escape

Hearing the man's familiar voice, Gu Shanshan stiffened and turned her head, only to see Gong Ye.

Thinking about her reckless words, Gu Shanshan felt like she was doomed.

Without even thinking, she blurted out a lie, "I just said, Master is so amazing, and Shanshan loves Master so much!"

Flattery will get you everywhere, and Gu Shanshan thought she had to win him over first.

Faced with Gu Shanshan's flattery, Gong Ye didn't say anything, nor did he show any extra expression on his face.

He strode over with his long legs, his face expressionless, towards Gu Shanshan.

The man's cold gaze terrified Gu Shanshan.

She was already afraid of Gong Ye, and now she was even more afraid.

With her hands braced on the bed, she instinctively backed away from the menacing man approaching.

But his legs were crippled and so weak that he could only move back a pitiful few centimeters by supporting himself on the bed with his hands.

Gong Ye finally walked up to Gu Shanshan, placed one hand on her side, and leaned down slightly, his tall body completely enveloping Gu Shanshan's petite frame.

With his other hand, he reached out and suddenly grabbed Gu Shanshan's hair.

"ah......"

A slight stinging sensation on her scalp caused Gu Shanshan to gasp in surprise.

To be honest, Gong Ye didn't grip his hair very tightly, in fact, it was even less forceful.

He cried out because he was frightened by Gong Ye's gloomy gaze.

Faced with the unpredictable nature of the palace night, Gu Shanshan felt a sense of dread.

He was filled with regret for speaking ill of and cursing people behind their backs without checking whether the person was actually there. Now that he had been caught red-handed, he didn't know how to make amends.

Gong Ye hasn't uttered a single word since he entered the room.

His cold expression clearly indicated that he was angry.

Gu Shanshan felt her scalp tingle under Gong Ye's gaze and stammered an apology.

"I'm sorry, Master. I was just talking nonsense. I was wrong."

Now that things have come to this, he no longer dares to try to fool Gong Ye with words.

Unless he's really tired of living.

He should have realized long ago that people who go to such despicable pet shops to choose people as pets must have dark and perverse hearts.

He was too careless, and he was too naive.

Upon hearing Gu Shanshan's apology, Gong Ye's expression remained unchanged, or rather, he appeared even colder.

Gong Ye was already in a bad mood when he came back today.

Hearing Gu Shanshan's words as soon as the door opened only made things worse.

My already bad mood has now turned into even more irritability.

He didn't listen to what Gu Shanshan was saying at all. He grabbed Gu Shanshan's hair and pulled her in front of him.

The man's handsome face loomed large before her, but Gu Shanshan had no interest in appreciating it.

He's only worried about his own life now.

"Master, what do you want to do?"

Gu Shanshan stammered out the question, her body trembling violently.

My back was covered in cold sweat from the fear of the unknown.

Gong Ye remained silent in the face of Gu Shanshan's question.

His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his dark eyes stared at Gu Shanshan without any emotion.

Staring at Gu Shanshan was like staring at a lifeless, inanimate object.

Sensing the coldness in the man's eyes, Gu Shanshan felt an urge to push him away and run away.

Gong Ye didn't need to say a word; Gu Shanshan was so frightened that her eyes turned red, and tears of fear welled up in her eyes.

Sobbing weakly, she pleaded, "Master, please don't do this, Shanshan is scared..."

Gu Shanshan cried and apologized.

But Gong Ye still didn't react at all, and kept staring at Gu Shanshan with his deep eyes.

The man's silence amplified Gu Shanshan's growing unease.

"Master... what are you doing!"

Gu Shanshan originally wanted to plead softly and coquettishly, begging Gong Ye for forgiveness.

She had only managed to utter one word when she saw what Gong Ye pulled out of his pocket and screamed in fright.

Her body involuntarily wanted to back away, but Gong Ye grabbed her hair forcefully.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shanshan's body was pressed down onto the bed by Gong Ye.

Gong Ye looked down at Gu Shanshan with a cold gaze.

It's like watching a dying toy.

In his hand, he held a completely black gun.

The cold, hard muzzle of the gun was pointed at Gu Shanshan's forehead.

He parted his thin lips slightly and uttered his first words since entering the room.

"Gu Shanshan, you've got some nerve."

As he spoke, he pressed the muzzle of the gun hard against Gu Shanshan's forehead, leaving a red mark on her forehead with the edge of the gun.

Gu Shanshan's skin was fair and delicate; even a little force could leave a mark on it.

After what happened last night, his body was covered with marks from Gong Ye's biting and pinching. Yet the man he had just made love with last night was now pointing a cold gun at his forehead.

That terrifying appearance looked like it was about to kill him.

Gu Shanshan was filled with fear and anxiety.

She choked back tears as she pleaded, "Master, please don't do this, please don't..."

He had considered that Gong Ye had a bad temper, and that Gong Ye was a pervert in some ways.

No one expected that Gong Ye would be a pervert who would casually point a gun at someone's head and shoot at any time.

He was terrified.

What kind of terrifying things did the system assign him?

"Beg me? Humph!"

Gong Ye sneered and pressed his thumb hard against Gu Shanshan's neck.

He threw away the gun, reached into the fruit bowl on the bedside table and took out a sharp dagger, the sharp blade landing on Gu Shanshan's slender neck.

He stared coldly at Gu Shanshan and asked emotionlessly, "Are you scared?"

"Afraid......"

The blade was pointed right at my neck. If I moved even slightly, the blade would slit my neck and I would die.

Gu Shanshan froze, not daring to move.

He was wrong again. This is not just a simple case of being abnormal; this is a devil!

You devil who deserves to go to hell!

"You're scared already, little pet? This is just the beginning."

The words from Gong Ye's mouth were devoid of any warmth.

The way he looked at Gu Shanshan was more like he was looking at a lifeless object.

"Little pet, do you know, I'm mentally ill."

Hearing Gong Ye's words, Gu Shanshan swallowed hard.

He thought to himself: Don't say anything, he can tell.

After all, no normal person would be as calm and unsettling as Gong Ye, who could hold a gun and a knife and kill someone.

Gong Ye ignored what Gu Shanshan was thinking and continued to speak.

"Do you know why I'm a doctor? It's because of my quirks."

"Little pet, I studied forensic medicine and only ever dealt with corpses."

So far, he hasn't touched a single corpse.

Because in his eyes, those corpses were not worthy of being touched by his hands.

Upon first seeing Gu Shanshan, despite her being a cripple who couldn't walk, he was only intensely interested in her body.

He wanted Gu Shanshan's body.

Or perhaps, he wanted to make Gu Shanshan's body into a perfect specimen and place it in a container he had prepared long ago.

He will always maintain Gu Shanshan's most beautiful appearance, so that Gu Shanshan will never be able to leave him.

Gong Ye looked at Gu Shanshan and spoke frankly what was on his mind.

"Gu Shanshan, the moment I saw you, I wanted to make you into the most perfect specimen and preserve you forever in my most precious collection cabinet."

"Do you know why I pinched your feet first last night before I was with you, and asked if you could still feel your legs?"

Why?

Gong Ye's words completely shattered Gu Shanshan's worldview.

He not only wanted to run away, but he also wanted to disappear from Gong Ye's sight immediately.

Damn it, what kind of monsters and demons are these?

"because......"

Gong Ye paused deliberately at this point, "Because I recently conducted an experiment and developed a solution that, when used to immerse a living person, preserves all their expressions exactly as they did in life."

"The best result, of course, is that there should be no necrotic muscle tissue on the living person, as that would affect the aesthetics."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan could only say: What the hell is this aesthetic!

[007, is there any way for me to escape now?]

Gu Shanshan was asking the system very seriously. He wasn't joking; he really wanted to run away.

The system weakly spoke up, "[Host, even the ventilation window in this room is electrified. You have no chance of escape.]"

Gu Shanshan glanced at the window, then at the door.

He finally understood why Gong Ye had locked him in this room—to prevent him from escaping.

Gu Shanshan forced herself to look up at Gong Ye, "Master, you..."

Before she could even utter a word, she heard a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock...

Immediately afterwards, the butler's voice came from outside.

"Mr. Gong, Young Master Shan Shan's father, mother, and younger brother have arrived and are sitting downstairs. Would you and Young Master Shan Shan like to come out and meet them?"

Gong Ye paused, the sharp blade nearly drawing blood from Gu Shanshan's neck.

His piercing gaze fell on the curve of the blade, then on Gu Shanshan's terrified face.

Realizing that he had just lost control again and almost killed the little pet, Gong Ye frowned slightly in displeasure and threw the knife to the ground.

If the butler hadn't arrived in time, even if he hadn't killed Gu Shanshan today, he would have done something to harm her.

He straightened up and said coldly, "I understand."

The butler said "Yes" and quickly withdrew.

Gu Shanshan lay limp on the bed, gasping for breath as the knife left her neck.

He felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.

Gong Ye coldly watched Gu Shanshan's pathetic appearance and gave a cold snort.

"I haven't killed you yet, what are you so nervous about?"

Gu Shanshan was terrified and didn't dare to utter the curses she was thinking.

Just then, a sweet, delicate voice came from outside, "Brother..."
