Chapter 17 Winning People's Hearts
It was late at night, and the stars dotted the dark sky.
Gu Nichi fell asleep holding Lin Du's hand. Lin Du tried to pull his hand away several times but failed.
Every time he moved, Gu Jinchi would make a humming sound to express his protest.
Leaning on the sofa, Lin Du used his other hand to touch Gu Jinchi's forehead, and it seemed that the fever had subsided.
Lin Du gently pulled his hand away, took Gu Xinchi's coat, which was still on him, gently closed the door, turned around and left.
The wind and snow were strong, and Lin Du couldn't help shivering and hugging himself tightly.
Gu Nichi took off his coat and lit a cigarette.
The corners of his mouth curled up, evil spread. He enjoyed Lin Du's self-sacrifice, and what he wanted was to make Lin Du fall into it again and be unable to extricate himself.
Lin Yue's condition was getting worse and worse, his face was dark and blue, which was distressing.
Lin Du felt helpless as he looked at the balance in his bank card which had not increased in income for several months.
He had tried really hard, so hard that he had forgotten that his health wasn't very good either, but he still couldn't change any of his problems.
I have a splitting headache. Whenever the weather is cold, my whole body aches.
But he can't stop. Once he stops, it means they will lose their income, which is a terrible thing.
While delivering food today, Lin Duhun felt unbearable pain all over his body.
He realized he had a fever, but he couldn't stop to rest.
Patting his face and forcing himself to be alert, Lin Du tried hard to open his heavy eyelids to prevent himself from falling asleep.
But the disease came like a mountain, not to mention that Lin Du’s health had not been very good.
I closed my eyes and shook my head vigorously. Before I could react, I saw a little boy suddenly running out from a blind spot.
Lin Du screamed, and even using the brakes and his feet to stop the car failed to stop immediately.
In desperation, Lin Du had to throw himself to one side and force the car to stop.
The little boy sat down on the ground, and Lin Du also fell heavily to the ground.
Ignoring himself at first, Lin Du struggled to get up and check if the little boy was injured.
The little boy burst into tears.
"Baby, don't cry. Tell me where it hurts." Lin Du fell sideways and it hurt a lot. "Please don't cry, okay?"
The little boy ignored Lin Du and cried loudly.
Lin Du was so flustered that he didn't know what to do, but he was sure that he didn't touch the little boy.
At this moment, a woman rushed over with great momentum, and without thinking twice, she took Lin Du's fallen helmet and smashed it on his head.
Lin Du felt pain and held his head tightly: "You... the baby suddenly ran over from the blind spot by himself."
The woman ignored him, swearing all the time, her hands never stopping.
Lin Du was already weak, and was beaten without any ability to fight back. He squatted on the ground, holding his head tightly.
Soon the place was crowded with people, pointing and talking about all sorts of things.
Gu Niechi drove by and glanced at the bustling crowd with disdain.
With a casual glance, he saw that it was Lin Du's electric car.
Park the car on the side of the road and quietly approach the crowd.
Watching Lin Du being cursed and beaten by a woman, watching him curl up on the ground in pain, no one was willing to help him.
He raised the corner of his mouth in disdain. People like him deserve to be bullied.
He turned around with contempt, and heard Lin Du's cry of pain. Gu Nichi paused, pushed through the crowd and rushed over.
He grabbed the woman's wrist and threw her aside mercilessly.
He squatted on the ground, helped Lin Du up and held him in his arms. His eyebrow bone was broken and blood was flowing. His pale face was covered with bloodstains: "Lin Du!"
Lin Du opened his blood-stained eyes and his body trembled involuntarily. He did not expect Gu Yinchi to appear suddenly.
The woman who was pushed away by Gu Linchi was not convinced and rushed up again.
Without a moment's hesitation, Gu Yanchi held Lin Du in his arms.
The woman took the helmet and smashed it hard on Gu Nianchi's back. She was frightened by Gu Nianchi's fierce look and dropped the helmet, collapsing to the ground.
Lin Du was held very tightly by Gu Jinchi, and he could already clearly hear his strong heartbeat.
Seeing Gu Yinchi being beaten to protect him, Lin Du felt full of guilt.
This matter has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't need to interfere.
Gu Jinchi gently wiped the blood off Lin Du's face. To be honest, if it weren't for what happened ten years ago, he would really feel sorry for him, but now, he just wanted to play the trick well.
He is very good at winning people's hearts.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lin Du stared at Gu Yanchi in a daze. His voice was so gentle.
"Tell me what happened and I'll fix it." Gu Nichi's eyes were full of distress and his handsome sword-like brows were tightly locked.
"What are you talking about? This blind thing hit my son. What else is there to say? Pay me!" The woman sat on the ground and scolded loudly.
Lin Du shook his head aggrievedly: "No... I didn't, I didn't bump into him."
Lin Du bit his lip and burst into tears.
Gu Nichi comforted her distressedly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Holding Lin Du in his arms, he looked at the woman who was sitting on the ground with gloomy eyes: "There are surveillance cameras everywhere here, and we will know who is who once we check."
The woman was obviously panicking. She stood up angrily and picked up the child: "Who do you think you are? Can you watch the surveillance whenever you want?"
"Anytime I want." Gu Yinchi half-closed his eyes with disdain in his eyes, took out his mobile phone and sent a message.
The woman looked at Gu Xinchi timidly. From the way he was dressed, she could tell he was not an ordinary person.
Seeing that she could not get any benefit, the woman decided to take the child and leave.
Gu Nichi patted Lin Du, signaling him to wait for him.
He strode over, grabbed the woman's wrist, and snorted contemptuously: "You can't just leave now if you want to."
The woman shuddered, her voice trembling: "What do you want...what do you want? You, a grown man, want to bully us orphans and widows!"
Gu Niechi sneered in a low, chilling voice: "Are you pretending to be weak now? Weren't you very fierce when you hit me just now?"
"I..." The woman was speechless.
"I already have the surveillance video in my hand, let's take a look." Gu Yanchi showed the surveillance video on his mobile phone to everyone.
Many people accused the woman of being unreasonable and making trouble.
It was clearly my fault for not looking after the child well and he escaped from the blind spot of a car, but now he is turning the tables on me.
The woman's face turned pale and she wanted to escape, but was stopped by Gu Yanchi.
"Apologize!"
The woman frowned, unwilling, but succumbed to Gu Yanchi's majesty.
Unconvinced, he walked up to Lin Du and glared at him with disdain. He had never thought that this delivery man would know such an important person. He curled his lips in a perfunctory manner and said, "I'm sorry."
Lin Du lowered his eyes and shook his head in bitterness.
"You are not sincere enough!" Gu Niechi shouted, "I don't think you have any remorse, so you should call the police!"
The woman was completely panicked when she heard this. She kept begging, but Gu Yanshi remained unmoved.
The woman had no choice but to kneel in front of Lin Du holding the child in her arms: "I'm sorry, I was confused for a moment, and I was also worried about the child. I beg you to be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
Lin Du wanted to help the woman up, but was stopped by Gu Yanchi.
Pulling Lin Du into his arms, he could clearly feel his trembling. Gu Yanchi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, this was exactly what he wanted.
He wanted Lin Du to fall in love with him again, to make himself the center, to forget himself, and to perish forever.
