Chapter 256: The Coward

A tear fell, and Gu Nichi wanted to slap himself in regret.

Ten years ago, he had never asked Lin Du himself and easily believed what his father said.

Let him leave with hatred, and the hatred lasted for ten years.

He sent a message to Wen Qing, asking him to go to Lin Du's hometown to investigate Lin Du's previous life.

Shen Rong knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Master, I have told you everything you want to know. You promised to help me, you must keep your word!"

Gu Yanchi slowly raised his eyes, like an enraged beast, he curled the corners of his mouth, looking so vicious that he wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces.

If it weren't for her, he and Lin Du might not have missed these ten years.

"Young... Young Master, you..." Shen Rong looked at Gu Yanchi's terrifying eyes timidly.

"Shen Rong, you did so many bad things back then, and you still want me to help you?" Gu Nichi snorted disdainfully, "You are dreaming."

"You...you said you would help me, how could you go back on your word?" Shen Rong got up and rushed towards Gu Xichi.

Gu Penchi kicked Shen Rong and he fell to the ground.

She curled up on the ground, groaning in pain.

Shen Rong was held down by two of her men. She was lying on the ground, cursing madly, "Gu Nienchi, I have an indecent video of you and Lin Du. You treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will spread the video?"

Gu Niechi put his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows: "Do you think you still have a chance?"

Shen Rong was shocked and struggled: "Gu Nienchi, are you kidding me? You will not have a good death. I curse you to go to the eighteenth level of hell and suffer all the tortures in the world."

Gu Lanchi waved his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then drooped dejectedly: "These are the punishment for myself..."

But compared with these, Lin Du's indifference is torture.

After knowing the truth, Gu Yinchi didn't dare to go home. He was afraid to see Lin Du's deliberately flattering eyes, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to control the pain in his heart and would scare him.

The night view of Beichuan is extremely beautiful. Gu Nichi stood alone in front of the French window, his thoughts in a mess.

He didn't dare to think about what he had done all this time.

He shattered Lin Du's true love and forced him to fall in love with him again.

But the heart is dead, how can it be revived?

When Wen Qing called, Gu Jinchi did not hesitate. He was eager to know about Lin Du's past.

Wen Qing sighed before he said anything: "I asked Mr. Lin's former neighbors, and they said that Mr. Lin's parents didn't like him since he was born, and often beat and abused him. He almost died several times. If the neighbors hadn't found out, Mr. Lin might have been tortured to death by his biological parents a long time ago."

"After Mr. Lin's parents passed away, he lived with Shen Rong."

"He also did not escape Shen Rong's clutches. I heard that Shen Rong often humiliated and abused Mr. Lin, depriving him of food and water. All the housework in the house fell on Mr. Lin alone."

"Even so, Shen Rong was still not satisfied and would often beat up Mr. Lin. Sometimes when he got tired of beating him, he would let his son continue beating him."

"What's even worse is that... they even forced Mr. Lin to beat himself up."

The pain is like a storm in the dark night, ruthlessly tearing apart the tired heart.

He slid down the French window and fell to the ground.

He only knew that Lin was having a hard time, but he never thought it would be so painful.

No wonder he is so cowardly, because he doesn't dare to do anything because there is no one to support him.

But I used to laugh at him and say he was the most timid and cowardly person I had ever met.

At that time, he always lowered his head and smiled, without refutation.

Now that I think about it, I was such an asshole.

Wen Qing hesitated for a while, but finally decided to continue: "Shen Rong extorted one million from the old man and abandoned Mr. Lin and his sister. Mr. Lin was beaten half to death by the people arranged by the old man, and crawled back home covered in blood."

"I heard from the neighbors that there were bloodstains all over the alley, which was shocking..."

Gu Nichi covered his chest and curled up on the ground in pain.

Lin Du had never mentioned these to me before. He probably thought that I wouldn't believe him, so he didn't want to say more.

"Mr. Lin was sent to the hospital later, and I didn't have time to check." Wen Qing sighed, "Boss Gu, do you want to continue?"

The pain was like a fire burning deep inside his heart that could not be extinguished. It made Gu Xichi feel miserable and completely lost.

He tried to escape, but the pain followed him like a shadow and would never let him go.

"check."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yanshi was still unable to calm down the pain in his heart.

He sat up on the ground, leaning against the French window, tears streaming down his face.

It turns out that after ten years of entanglement, only Lin Du was hurt, but he was the most innocent one.

The pain was like a vine, tightly entangling Gu's heart, and every struggle made him feel suffocated.

A slap was mercilessly given to him on the face, but Gu Yinchi didn't seem to feel relieved.

The pain in his heart made it hard for him to breathe, and he wanted to get away.

He opened the drawer and took out an exquisite dagger. He unbuttoned his cuffs and stabbed his arm mercilessly.

Blood slowly flowed out along the incision and fell to the ground.

Gu Niechi pulled out the dagger and threw it aside, then let out a long breath.

It seemed as if the pain in my heart was relieved a little, but I couldn't control my tears.

He couldn't calm himself down, otherwise all the pain would come over him and he would be powerless to resist.

He wanted to go home, wanted to see Lin Du, and wanted to get his forgiveness.

But he didn't dare.

"You are such a coward!"

Gu Niechi smiled bitterly, covered his face with his hands, and burst into tears.

What on earth should he do to soothe Lin Du's inner pain? Who can tell him?

He was already worried about Lin Du when he didn't know the truth. Now, what should he do to keep Lin Du?

The phone rang again. It was Lin Du. Gu Yanchi looked at the note "beloved's" mobile number and hesitated to pick it up.

He was afraid that he would lose control and cry in front of Lin Du, and he was even more afraid that his out-of-control emotions would scare him.

The pain in his arms could no longer relieve the pain in his heart, so Gu chose to numb himself with alcohol.

He sat in the car, looking towards the bedroom, drinking bottle after bottle in an attempt to get himself drunk.

But even though he had obviously drunk enough to feel stomach discomfort, he was still eerily sober.

His desire to see Lin Du reached its peak. He really wanted to hug him. Even if he rejected him, at least he could feel his breath.

He stumbled out of the car and walked to the bedroom door, but failed at the last moment.

He was scared. The person inside was the one he had hurt thousands of times and now wanted to hold in his hands. How should he face him?

He sat down in front of the door, with the corners of his mouth raised in disdain and misery.

As long as Lin Du doesn't leave him, he would rather endure all the pain.

But, does he still have a chance?

The escape in Lin Du's eyes was so obvious. If it weren't for Lin Yue, he would have left her without hesitation and disappeared from his world with all the secrets.
