Chapter 13: Strangers

After getting off the RV, Lin Du could hardly stand steadily.

I gritted my teeth stubbornly to not let myself get too miserable, and my tears blurred my vision as I rode the bike.

Gu Nichi took out his cell phone, sent a text message, and then threw it aside.

He grabbed Su Wenlang and vented his desires without hesitation.

Su Wenlang enjoys life. He loves everything that he hates, no matter if it is strong or violent...

Lin Du received a call and was complained about. The reason was simple: the service attitude was bad.

As if the last straw had broken the camel's back, Lindsay felt powerless.

I have tried my best, but why is my life still such a mess?

I'm becoming less and less energetic, and suddenly I feel so tired!

There weren't many orders, so Lin Du went home early today. He hadn't cooked for Lin Yue for a long time, so he planned to cook for her today.

After buying groceries and returning home, he found that no one was at home. He was startled and called Lin Yue immediately, but no one answered the phone.

With a bad feeling in his heart, Lin Du began to look for Lin Yue frantically. He asked around and asked neighbors if they had seen her, but no one knew.

Lin Yue seldom goes out, so her neighbors are all unfamiliar with her.

Where could she go? Although she had been in Beichuan for ten years, she was unfamiliar with everything here.

Unable to find Lin Yue, Lin Du fell into panic.

I was so scared that my whole body was twitching and my fingers were cramping.

The phone rang, Lin Du picked it up, and instantly he was furious: "Where have you been?"

"I……"

"Go home! Go home and wait for me!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Du rushed home directly.

Lin Du felt a severe pain in his chest, and he pounded it hard to make his breathing smoother.

When I got home, Lin Yue was cooking.

Lin Du rushed over and grabbed Lin Yue: "Where have you been? What are you running around for?"

"Brother... I just want to see if there is any work that I can do."

"Work?" Lin Du frowned. "Who told you to work? Are you in good health? I ask you, do you want to drive me crazy too?"

Lin Yue had never seen Lin Du so angry before. She bit her lip and lowered her head in grievance: "I saw that you were too tired, so I thought about finding a job to supplement the family income."

"That's enough. Please stop struggling and stay at home quietly, okay? I'm really tired. Please, please."

Lin Du collapsed and knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying.

He didn't want to lose his temper with Lin Yue, he really didn't want to, but he was also a human being, and he really couldn't stand it!

Lin Yue sobbed in grievance. She had never seen Lin Du so out of control before.

His eyes were empty, as if his soul had been taken away.

Lin Du sat paralyzed on the ground. He tried his best to control himself, but his chest still hurt every time he breathed.

Looking at Lin Yue hiding aside, tears of heartache instantly uncontrolled.

What's wrong with her? She has never had a good day since she was born.

"I'm sorry, Lin Yue, I..." His breathing was trembling, and his tone was even more sad. "Be obedient, stay at home and don't run around. You are my only hope. If...if something happens to you again, I really won't be able to live."

Lin Yue nodded and hugged herself aggrievedly.

"Go back to your room and rest."

Carrying the dishes to the kitchen, Lin Du slapped himself hard twice.

He was wronged by Gu Lianchi but didn't dare to fight back, but he got angry at Lin Yue who was powerless. What kind of ability is this?

"coward!"

Lin Du cursed himself angrily, his face was burning with pain from the beating he had done, but he still seemed unsatisfied.

Holding the kitchen knife, he was in a trance.

There was a voice in his mind guiding him, and the knife was getting closer and closer to his wrist: "Go ahead, just one hard cut and you'll be free."

Lin Du's breathing was intermittent, and he kept repeating in his mouth: "Freed..."

The phone rang, and the knife in my hand fell with a clink.

Lin Du came back to his senses in shock, staring at the kitchen knife in a daze. His wrist was aching slightly and a blood mark had already begun to appear.

Looking at the number on his phone, Lin Du closed his eyes in despair.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head sarcastically. Should he thank Gu Xinchi? If it weren't for his call, he might have cut the blood vessels in his wrist.

Lin Du took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello?"

Gu Niechi's cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'll wait for you at Moco Bar tonight at 8 o'clock." Then he hung up.

Lin Du listened to the busy tone on the phone, feeling bitter. He knew that Gu Lianchi's visit to him was definitely not for good, but he had to go.

After simply treating the wound, Lin Du prepared a meal for Lin Yue and told her to read carefully after eating and not to run around.

Lin Yue seemed to have not yet recovered from Lin Du's uncontrolled roar. She nodded blankly, not daring to look at him.

With a burst of heart-wrenching pain, his nose was sour, and his eyes were wet. Lin Du guiltily rubbed Lin Yue's dry hair caused by long-term malnutrition: "I'm sorry, brother shouldn't yell at you, please forgive me?"

Lin Yue bit her lips in grievance. Her lips, which were originally bloodless, now looked even more glaringly purple.

He tried hard to force a smile: "Lin Yue, don't be afraid, I'll work harder, we'll be fine."

Lin Yue threw Lin Du into his arms: "Brother!"

Lin Du pursed his lips and hugged Lin Yue tightly: "Eat quickly, I'm going out to do something, be obedient."

8pm, Moco Bar.

Lin Du walked into the bar and saw Gu Xinchi sitting in the corner, surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

Gu Yanchi raised his head, glanced at Lin Du coldly, and motioned him to sit down.

Lin Du sat down nervously, waiting for Gu Yanchi to speak.

Looking at Lin Du's uneasy look, Gu Nichi snorted with disdain.

"Wasn't Mr. Lin very tough this morning?" Gu Nichi said sarcastically.

Lin Du smiled bitterly and lowered his voice: "No, I just lost control of my emotions. Didn't Mr. Gu already complain to me?"

Gu Xinchi smiled and said, "Why are you blaming me?"

"How could that be? This is your right. I..." Lin Du's chest suddenly felt tight, and he took a long, deep breath to feel a little relieved. "I have no right to interfere."

Gu Yanchi stood up, slowly walked to Lin Du's side, and looked down at him: "Of course you have no right to interfere."

Lin Du lowered his head, not daring to meet Gu Xichi's gaze.

"But..." Gu Yanchi changed the subject, "If you are willing to beg me, I may be able to withdraw this complaint."

Lin Du laughed in a muffled voice, and his hands trembled uncontrollably as they rubbed each other: "Mr. Gu, we don't know each other, why do you have to force me so hard?"

We are strangers!

Gu Anshi's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a streak of colorful light flashed in the dim space, illuminating his tightly furrowed brows.

"Lin Du! How dare you say to me, 'I don't know you at all'?"

The sound of Gu Yanchi is extremely soft, and you can't hear it at all if you don't listen carefully.

But Lin Du heard it very clearly and got goosebumps in an instant.

He stared at Gu Yanchi blankly, trying to find out something from his eyes, but Gu Yanchi's eyes were too harsh and he was afraid.
