76. Sow discord
Gu He suddenly stared into her eyes, and sneered as he squeezed out every word from between his teeth:
"I'm selfish and vicious? Compared to Fu Rongshen, I'm already very kind!"
"He's willing to break his contract with Gu for your sake, and he'll kill you for other interests in the future. If I could be even one-tenth as vicious and ruthless as he is, I wouldn't be ending up like this!"
His hideous grin made his eyes look extremely distorted.
Chu Yanhui suddenly felt her scalp tingling and she took a step back.
Gu He sneered hoarsely: "Do you think he is still a good guy?"
"After that rainy night, I went through the gates of hell countless times, all thanks to him—"
He pulled down his clothes, revealing the gunshot wounds and knife scars on his body, each one of them hideous and horrific.
"Take a look!"
Chu Yanhui stared gloomily at the scars on his body. These were not recent wounds.
The smile disappeared from her face.
Fu Rongshen had promised her that he would not kill Gu He...it turned out that he had lied to her.
The so-called promise was nothing but a lie, making her willingly stay and warm his bed.
She suddenly felt that she couldn't trust anyone.
"Chu Yanhui, the fortune you asked for will never come true."
Gu He laughed a little crazily, his expression was mad, hideous and twisted.
"The real villain is right next to you. You can't escape! You can't escape for the rest of your life! Whatever I've suffered, sooner or later it will be your turn—hahaha!"
He rushed forward madly.
She was startled.
The bodyguard protected her and pulled out a gun, pointing it at the crazy man: "Back off!"
"Bang!"
A shot was fired into the sky as a threat.
But he was not afraid at all. He rushed out and ran towards the low cliff behind the Wanyuan tree. With a "splash", he jumped into the rushing river.
When Chu Yanhui heard the sound of splashing water, his body suddenly stiffened.
He turned his head mechanically little by little in disbelief, then turned around and looked at the person struggling in the river, shuddering violently.
Gu He is afraid of water...
He is going to commit suicide.
Let me watch him die with my own eyes!
Her heart felt like it was being gripped by a hand, leaving only the pounding of her heart. Unable to breathe, she heard her own trembling, sharp voice, forcing herself to remain calm: "Someone who can swim, pull him out..."
The bodyguard unloaded his gun and jumped into the river. Two people struggled to drag the man who was determined to commit suicide ashore.
“But! Ahem… ahem…”
The mask has sunk into the water.
As Gu He continued to choke and cough, Chu Yanhui saw his scratched face.
Snaking, centipede-like lines crawled across his face. The skin on his cheeks was severely corrosively burned, eroding and sometimes scabbing. The missing skin on his chin had grown new, bright red flesh, a terrifying sight.
The once handsome face was completely ruined.
"Your face—"
She was horrified, her stomach churning, and she couldn't help but hold on to the tree trunk and vomit: "Ugh!"
"Ahem...hahaha, ahem...this is a good deed done by your good uncle!"
When Gu He found that the girl had her back turned to him in fear and disgust, his whole body trembled.
He lay on the ground and laughed wildly, his face becoming even more ferocious.
She felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, her face turning pale.
His hair, like weeds, was soaked and stuck to his face. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, gnashing his teeth and stretching out, "Why don't you dare look at me?"
"Why!"
"Why!"
One cry after another, the chill seeps into the bone marrow.
Echoing in her ears.
He roared ferociously, as if he wanted to tear her soul apart.
Chu Yanhui didn't know how she got back to the Waterside Courtyard. She sat at her desk, frozen in place, for the entire afternoon. She folded her arms tightly, feeling indescribably cold.
That face appeared in front of my eyes countless times, and my body trembled and shook uncontrollably.
I was in a trance for so long that I didn't even notice someone opened the door and came in.
"I heard from the bodyguard that you met Gu He today?"
Suddenly, her body was embraced, a clear voice sounded in her ears, and her neck was gently kissed. Chu Yanhui suddenly came back to her senses.
Looking up, I saw the man's neatly combed black hair in the retro drop-down mirror in front of me.
She pursed her dry lips: "Yeah."
He also looked up at the mirror and saw that her lips were pale: "Gu He is trying to commit suicide in front of you? Are you scared?"
"No," Chu Yan looked back at the handsome face of the man in the mirror. Suddenly, Gu He's scratched and corroded face appeared in front of her eyes. She said in a daze, "No."
“You’re lying. You look so bad and your hands are cold.” He put his arms around her and held her hands with both of his, feeling the coldness.
"He said some crazy things, and you believed them?"
When Fu Rongshen heard the bodyguard's report on what happened in Qifu today, he immediately asked Assistant Tang to control Gu He. Fearing that Chu Yan would reply to Gu He's words, he left after the meeting and rushed back to Shuixie Hua Ting.
"Which one are you referring to? He said a lot, I can't remember clearly."
The girl tilted her head to look at him, her eyes dull.
"All I know is that you promised me not to touch Gu He, but you still murdered him. You even destroyed his face... It was so creepy."
He shook his head. “Before that photo of the two of us got out, I only broke his leg. I didn’t do anything else.”
The face was scratched after the photo incident.
Yan Hui likes that man's face, and it would be safer if it was scratched.
The girl lowered her eyelashes and looked at her hand holding hers: "Fu Rongshen, I can't believe what you say anymore."
"Gu He has many enemies, but the number of people who can truly grasp his movements and repeatedly put him to death can be counted on one hand in the entire city of Hong Kong. Besides you, who else would do such a cruel thing to him?"
"You clearly can't do it, but you still promise me on the surface and trick me into staying here..."
She sighed.
"I have nothing more to say to you."
"Yanhui!"
Fu Rongshen was filled with panic. Her attitude was different from usual. She really believed what Gu He said.
It was indeed not him who did this. Gu He wanted to frame him and alienate the relationship between them when he was completely unable to recover.
"Let me go, I want to be alone."
Chu Yanhui said tiredly.
He was very hurt: "I didn't arrange for anyone to injure him, so you would rather believe him than me?"
She shook her head, broke free from his hands and arms, walked to the French window and turned her back to him: "None of you are worthy of my trust."
Fu Rongshen had never felt so wronged before. He almost immediately called his secretary to investigate the matter: "...Quick! I want answers, the sooner the better!"
"That's enough. That's enough."
Chu Yan looked back at the lake view outside the window, with a reluctant and annoyed expression on his face:
"What's the point of wasting my secretary's time to help you fabricate evidence? ... I don't want to know, and I won't believe it anymore."
"All you have to do is open your mouth and countless people will rush to help you cover up your lie. Such a result is meaningless to me."
