Chapter 195 The Truth Behind Gu Hanchi's Broken Leg
"Third Uncle, how could you do such a terrible thing? You've committed a crime! No matter who the other person is, the Gu family's ancestral precepts forbid laying a hand on an infant. What have you done?"
Gu Yulin discovered that the truth was truly unacceptable.
At the very least, he couldn't accept it; he never expected his third uncle to do such a thing...
The old man collapsed, unable to accept it any longer, and Li Huaijin was by his side at that moment.
"Yu Lin, Yu Lin..." Gu Hanchi called out in a panic, and continued in fear, "Yu Lin, your third uncle knows he was wrong. Please keep this from your grandparents. I really know I was wrong. I will give Hui Ning an explanation."
But I don't want to disappoint my parents.
"And my older brother...they can't know."
Gu Hanchi had already thought about his ending. He would die and apologize to Luo Huining, but... he really didn't want his parents to know about this. He... he had already failed enough in his life, and he couldn't let his parents down any further.
Gu Yulin shook his head coldly and sighed, "I'm sorry, Third Uncle, your hopes are probably going to be dashed. Grandpa and Uncle have already heard about it."
It was only now that he realized that it was all a setup.
It was a trap set by Luo Zhiwei to lure him here.
He looked up in disbelief, his eyes filled with despair and death: "You plotted against me?"
"If I don't scheme, how can I expose the truth and let the Gu family know about your crimes?"
Luo Zhiwei said angrily.
Gu Hanchi didn't know what was wrong with him. He was afraid that his parents would find out, but when he heard that his parents and older brother already knew, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted off my shoulders.
He collapsed to the ground in despair, turned over and looked at the wall above him, lost in thought.
"I know, that's good. I did something wrong, a really bad thing."
As he earnestly repented, Old Master Gu and his entourage walked over from the other side.
Grandpa Gu was so angry that his eyes turned red. He stood in front of his youngest son, and at that moment, he felt that his son was a stranger.
Is this still the third son of the Gu family?
Clearly... the children of the Gu family are all upright and righteous, and would never kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone harm a child or a woman.
They are all innocent.
What's more, she was the woman he loved most.
How could he possibly be so heartless?
"Dad...you're here. Your son was wrong, terribly wrong. I will accept the punishment and pay the price for everything I've done."
Gu Hanchi's eyes were filled with despair, and the smile on his lips was both helpless and hopeless, as if he had seen through everything.
Old Master Gu: "You should indeed pay the price for killing your own wife and children. You are not worthy of being a member of the Gu family. From today onwards, you are expelled from the Gu family."
The old man's tone was tinged with despair, and he seemed to have aged considerably.
“If you still believe in the Gu family’s ancestral teachings, then turn yourself in. If you try to escape legal punishment, then I will personally end your life.”
Old Master Gu's attitude basically determined Gu Hanchi's life or death.
It was obvious that the old man had completely abandoned him.
Perhaps it's because the Gu family, from top to bottom, is a family of upright character. Unexpectedly, a bad bamboo shoot appeared among the good ones, so naturally it had to be discarded. To be precise, it was about setting things right.
"I will, Dad. I'm sorry to have disappointed you."
Gu Hanchi saw Gu Hancheng, and guilt and regret flashed in his eyes. He had already done these things, and it seemed that it was too late to regret them now.
"Big brother...you're here too."
Gu Hancheng stared at Gu Hanchi in disbelief, his heart filled with confusion and an even greater disbelief at the truth: "Third brother, is it really as you say? You thought that because I had a relationship with Luo Huining, you killed her child, which meant you were killing my child? Why...why did you do that?"
"Of course, it's to get revenge on you." Isn't that obvious?
"Because of your wrong instructions, I can't stand up. How can I be so saintly as not to blame you? I wish I could kill you. But I never expected that you would not only sleep with my woman, but also get her pregnant. How can I accept this? How can I accept this!"
"Gu Hancheng, you've made me unable to stand up, and you've also made me destined to be childless for the rest of my life. How could I not resent you?"
"If I can never be happy in my life, then you will have to atone for my sins for the rest of your life, and you don't deserve to have children."
Unexpectedly, Gu Hancheng's two children were alive and well, while the one he killed was actually his own daughter.
How ironic.
"you...."
"I just feel hatred. If I had asked clearly, perhaps... I would have a daughter by my side now, and I... I and Luo Huining..."
Gu Hanchi suddenly opened his eyes, hatred rising to his heart. He looked sharply at Gu Hancheng: "This is all your fault. If it weren't for you, my leg wouldn't be injured. I would definitely stand in front of Luo Huining and ask her the truth."
"It's all your fault! You ruined my life!"
Gu Hanchi tried to turn over and stand up, but he could only turn over. He couldn't do anything to Gu Hancheng. The unvented hatred made him feel desperate.
Old Master Gu glared at him. This was the son he had carefully raised, yet he was complaining and blaming others. Why didn't he look for the reasons within himself?
"Third brother, do you really think it was the eldest brother's wrong instructions that led you to become like this today?"
Gu Hanchi scoffed, "Isn't that right? Dad, can you please stop making excuses for my older brother?"
Grandpa Gu shook his head helplessly, his face instantly aging a bit: "I never make excuses for anyone. You misunderstood the instructions when you were on the mission, which led to you becoming like this today. It has nothing to do with your older brother."
"Your older brother has been blaming himself, saying that his orders led to you becoming what you are today. In reality, everyone has repeatedly checked the orders, and there are no errors. Otherwise, why would your older brother continue to carry out the mission?"
"If it weren't for taking care of you, your older brother wouldn't be in this state now. You've been a burden to your older brother his whole life, and now you're turning around and framing him?"
Gu Hanchi's face gradually lost its color, turning deathly pale: "Impossible! It was clearly my elder brother who made me like this today, how could he be the cause? No, it can't be!"
impossible!
Grandpa Gu sighed in disappointment: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. That mission was investigated for two years. Your brother's instructions were all correct. It was your operation that made the mistake, which is why you lost both your legs."
Doesn't he feel heartbroken? He does too; they're all his children.
If the third brother hadn't lost both legs, he would definitely have been punished by the higher-ups. It was he and the eldest brother who saved the third brother.
But he never expected that the resentment in his third son's heart would last a lifetime.
He used to be able to tolerate his older and younger sons being difficult, and even if they weren't very close, he still cared about his son.
He never expected that Gu Hanchi would actually kill two innocent people, a mother and daughter.
Gu Hanchi is too cruel.
"You're lying to me again. My older brother is outstanding, and I'm useless, so you've been protecting him all along." Gu Hanchi's smile was like a spreading poison... except that it was eroding his own self-esteem.
