Chapter 131: An Unbreakable Deadlock

It was a day off today, and Lin Du came to the Criminal Police Brigade to find out whether Xue Kaiming had been sentenced to death, but after asking around, he didn't get the answer he wanted.

He wandered helplessly on the side of the road, feeling powerless and devastated.

Taking some desserts he made himself, Lin Du decided to ask Chu Xu for help. After all, he was his only powerful friend in Beichuan.

Arriving at the agreed location, Lin Du felt nervous.

Chu Xu's condition was very bad. His debilitated state was like a heavy iron chain that tightly locked his soul, making it impossible for him to breathe freely and making him feel extremely depressed.

Lin Du pursed his lips, not knowing whether he should ask Chu Xu for help at this time.

"What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about today?" Chu Xuqiang perked up.

Lin Du took out the desserts he made: "I have learned how to make some new desserts, and I want to bring them over for you to try."

Chu Xu curled his lips, picked up a piece and took a bite: "Not bad, very delicious."

"If you like it, I'll do it for you next time."

Chu Xu lowered his eyes and exhaled deeply, as if he was trying hard to control his chaotic emotions.

"Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?" Chu Xu asked.

Lin Du nodded and counted on his fingers: "I would like you to help me find out whether Xue Kaiming has been sentenced to death, and the old man who hurt Qin Chang."

"Okay, I'll help you."

"Thank you, Chuxu."

Chu Xu patted Lin Du's hand and said, "Aren't we friends? No need to be so polite."

Lin Du looked at Chu Xu worriedly: "Are you okay?"

Chu Xu looked out the window with empty eyes. The aura of death enveloped his body, making it impossible for him to cheer up: "What's good or bad? Just endure it one day at a time."

On one side are his biological parents, and on the other side are the person he deeply loves. He is caught in the middle and is in great pain.

You can't live, and you can't die.

Zhuo Chengze sat in the boring office, turning around in circles in frustration.

He wailed in pain: "I'm really going crazy. When will you and Shen Zhichu finish dealing with all your messes?"

"I'm so bored! I'm almost growing hair!"

Gu Nichi looked at the photos sent by the bodyguard on his phone and sighed.

He knew that Qin Chang's death had been a huge blow to Lin Du, and he must be living in guilt every day.

But if he knew that Xue Kaiming was not sentenced to death, how would he bear it?

"I'm talking to you, are you listening?" Zhuo Chengze complained.

Gu Niechi frowned in disgust: "Now that no one is bothering you, you can play with your wife to your heart's content, but you have to come here to bother me again, are you really not good at that?"

"Fuck your master, I'm fine!" Zhuo Chengze was dissatisfied.

Gu Nishi lowered his gaze, staring at a certain spot on Zhuo Chengze, raised the corner of his mouth wickedly, and said in a mean voice: "I don't believe it."

"You..." Zhuo Chengze felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and wanted to punch him.

After taking revenge on someone, Gu Penchi looked back at his mobile phone.

Lin Du seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, and the body he had built up with great difficulty had returned to its previous state.

Zhuo Chengze knocked on the table and said, "Have you heard that Su Wenlang has already started to enter the international market?"

Gu Nichi frowned slightly but did not respond.

Zhuo Chengze sighed softly: "I didn't expect his acting skills to be so popular that he could make it to the international stage."

"Are you finished?" Gu Nichi leaned back on the sofa with a happy expression.

Zhuo Chengze raised his eyebrows and tried to test her: "Are you really so heartless that you can just throw away all the feelings we've had for so many years?"

Gu Nichi raised his chin slightly and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "No wonder your wife dislikes you. Do you know that sometimes you really are like a mentally retarded person?"

"Fuck! Do you know how to talk properly?" Zhuo Chengze was dissatisfied. "I asked you this because I care about my brother. I don't care about other people's affairs."

Gu Nichi rubbed his brows and closed his eyes tiredly: "I have never treated him badly over the years. I thought he was just a little arrogant, but he told my dad about Lin Du's loss right after he lost his child."

"He wants to use my father to get rid of Lin Du. His intentions are too vicious."

"Besides, he has already climbed into someone else's bed, so I will naturally not keep him."

Zhuo Chengze curled his lips and said, "Su Wenlang really played a good hand of cards badly. It is really not advisable to keep such a person around."

"But fortunately, you have only had affection for him over the years, not love. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to break it off completely."

Gu paused for a moment and asked with interest, "What do you mean?"

Zhuo Chengze shrugged: "The look in his eyes is so calm! Not a single ripple in his eyes. It's nothing like the look you give Lin Du! His eyes are simply..."

Noticing the loneliness in Gu's downcast eyes, Zhuo Chengze paused.

Unable to bear seeing Gu Xinchi so depressed, Zhuo Chengze couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to waste time with Lin Du like this?"

Gu Niechi raised his lips bitterly: "What else?"

Zhuo Chengze curled his lips, looking helpless: "That's right, although Lin Du came back to you for Lin Yue, you didn't do anything good either. You two are in a dead end and there's no way to break it."

Gu Lianchi was already depressed, and now he became even more irritated after listening to Zhuo Chengze's thoughtful analysis.

He pointed at the door, his eyes full of disgust.

Zhuo Chengze frowned: "What are you doing? Am I wrong? The two of you have been using each other, dragging each other down, and torturing each other."

"I think it's better to let go completely than to suffer so much," Zhuo Chengze suggested.

He frowned with disgust, and heard loud noises in his ears.

"I think Lin Du will feel more comfortable if he leaves you. After all, being with someone like you is a very painful thing in itself. You have a bad temper, a sharp tongue, and are arrogant..."

"I heard that your hospital is going to expand recently. I don't think it's necessary. What do you think?" Gu Yinchi narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Zhuo Chengze who was chattering.

Zhuo Chengze blinked his eyes and made a gesture to seal his mouth. He was still counting on Gu Jingchi to invest in him, so he must not provoke him at this time.

Gu Anchi frowned, feeling extremely upset, and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Zhuo Chengze looked around and set his sights on the display cabinet behind Gu Nichi.

He walked over and took out a pair of high-quality jade cups, and held them in his arms slyly: "That..."

"Take it away, get out!" Gu Yanshi closed his eyes, feeling a splitting headache.

Zhuo Chengze grinned and disappeared swiftly from Gu Yanshi's sight.

Slowly opening his eyes, Gu Xinchi reconsidered Zhuo Chengze's seemingly joking words.

Although he monitored and followed Lin Du every day, he did not let Lin Du find out, so this should not be considered a disturbance to his life.
