Chapter 36: Reduced to a Tool

Kissing the man's face, Lin Du no longer knew how to breathe. At this moment, he felt as if someone was strangling his throat, and his brain almost stopped functioning.

Just when Lin Du thought he was about to suffocate, the man pushed him away and tore his hair like crazy: "You are not him! He won't be as obedient as you!"

Lin Du came back to his senses and breathed desperately. The short period of oxygen deprivation in his brain made him feel dazed.

The man roared and threw the bottle at Lin Du.

Lin Du had no time to dodge, and his body was no longer under his control. As if waiting for death to come, Lin Du slowly closed his eyes.

With a bang, there was the sound of a wine bottle breaking.

There was no expected pain. Lin Du slowly opened his eyes and stood there in a daze.

Gu Xinchi's right arm was bent in the air in a blocking gesture, and broken glass slipped from his arm.

The drunk man was dragged out by the security guards. He yelled: "Why doesn't he love me? Why!"

Lin Du looked at Gu Yinchi blankly. He shook off the glass fragments on his body, turned around slowly, lowered his eyes with a sad face, and stretched out his hand to help Lin Du tidy up his torn clothes.

Lin Du was startled and couldn't help but shrink his body.

His hands froze in mid-air, and a layer of mist covered his beautiful eyes: "Don't be afraid... Haha, forget it, you are still afraid of me, right?"

Lin Du bit his lip. His confused thoughts could no longer support him in answering any questions.

"Hiss..." Gu Nichi groaned and pressed down his right arm.

Lin Du was startled and stood up: "You..."

The caring words were stuck in his throat, and Lin Du tried hard to restrain himself.

There was a barely perceptible hint of weirdness in Gu Nichi's eyes, but his expression was still painful: "I'm fine."

He took off his coat and looked at his bruised arm. Gu Yinchi glanced at Lin Du, and seeing him wanting to go forward but not daring to, he snorted in disdain.

This is exactly the effect we want.

Zhuo Chengze stood aside with a frown on his face. He was very adept at using this self-torture tactic.

Clearing his throat, Zhuo Chengze knew it was his turn to take the stage.

"Are you okay? He hit me so hard, I guess my bones are injured." Zhuo Chengze rushed over excitedly, "We need to go to the hospital to take an X-ray."

"It's not that serious." Gu Yanchi glanced at Lin Du, slowly approached, and said softly, "Let me see if you are injured."

Lin Du lowered his head and shook it again: "I... I'm fine."

"Please help me persuade him, he won't listen to me." Zhuo Chengze patted Lin Du's shoulder, "He is seriously injured."

Lin Du seemed to be frightened and subconsciously dodged to the side.

Zhuo Chengze is a doctor, so Lin Du had no doubts about what he said.

But how could Gu Yanchi listen to me? But this matter was caused by me, so he was responsible.

The fingers hanging down on both sides of his legs were almost broken by himself. Lin Du said with a stiff face, "Let's go to the hospital. It would be bad if the bones were injured."

Gu Nishi pursed his lips tightly, pulled Lin Du's hand, and rubbed the deep marks he had pinched himself: "If I really hurt my bones, would you feel sorry for me?"

Lin Du was startled and instinctively wanted to pull his hand back.

He lowered his head, choosing to use his best silence to block out annoying questions.

Zhuo Chengze frowned in disgust, it was so disgusting that he could hardly bear it anymore.

Facing Lin Du's silence, Gu Nishi smiled bitterly: "I know."

Lin Du's hand was trembling slightly in Gu Jinchi's palm, and he could hear the loss in Gu Jinchi's voice.

Shen Zhichu watched the whole process meaningfully, then walked over shaking his head.

Seeing Shen Zhichu, Lin Du's already anxious heart fell to the bottom.

"Lin Du, you've only been here for a few days and you've already made such a mess here?" Shen Zhichu glanced at Gu Nichi, his eyes filled with both disdain and mockery.

It is really shocking that the dignified Master Gu actually acted out a tragic drama for revenge.

Gu Nichi naturally understood the deep meaning in Shen Zhichu's eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and made a provocative OK gesture.

Shen Zhichu was so angry that he almost laughed. Even at this time, he still didn't forget to make fun of himself for being a virgin at the age of 30.

"Boss, I..." Lin Du lowered his eyes uncomfortably. To be honest, he didn't have the face to ask Shen Zhichu to stay. "I'm sorry, I... I won't stay here any longer."

A faint sneer appeared on Gu Nichi's lips. Kick Lin Du out of here to facilitate his next plan.

Shen Zhichu glanced at Gu Xinchi's triumphant sneer, then stood up and walked to Lin Du's side: "For Mr. Gu's sake, I'll give you one more chance. Remember, there won't be a next time."

Lin Du looked up in astonishment, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, boss. There will definitely not be a next time."

"You should thank Mr. Gu. Most people don't have the face to do that." Shen Zhichu raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Xinchi who had a gloomy face.

Hey man, are you angry now?

When you stab yourself in the heart every day, have you ever thought that one day you will suffer retribution?

Haha...you deserve it.

Lin Du lowered his head and stared at the distance between himself and Gu Ni. The distance was so close, but there was an insurmountable gap between them. "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Niechi chuckled, a little sadly: "I told you not to thank me."

Zhuo Chengze winked at Shen Zhichu frantically, cursing, "Why do you have to provoke him when you can provoke anyone else?"

An imperceptible sneer flashed across Gu Nichi's eyes. It doesn't matter. No matter how hard it is, Lin Du has only one fate.

That is to become your own tool.

"But..." Shen Zhichu lazily leaned back on the sofa, "Lin Du, this incident was caused by you after all, you have to take responsibility."

"I... I know." Although he didn't know what Shen Zhichu meant by responsibility, Lin Du had no choice. Shen Zhichu was already showing leniency by letting him stay.

"How about this, you take Mr. Gu to the hospital for a checkup, and then go home and rest." Shen Zhichu looked at Lin Du's hesitant look, and he smiled, "Don't be late for work tomorrow!"

Lin Du nodded heavily and bowed several times to Shen Zhichu in gratitude.

Shen Zhichu chuckled, feeling somewhat reluctant.

Although he knew that Lin Du was the reason why Gu Linchi was forced to leave home, he really couldn't imagine how such an honest man like Lin Du could commit blackmail and betrayal?

He really doesn't look like it, but if it wasn't, how could someone like Gu Xinchi be so determined to take revenge on him?

Glancing at the light bulb, Zhuo Chengze said, "Let's go have a drink."

"I won't go. My wife is waiting for me at home." Zhuo Chengze pouted. "I can't go back too late, otherwise he will be angry again. I angered him last time, and he still hasn't calmed down."

Shen Zhichu waved his hands in disdain: "I am still single and free."

Zhuo Chengze snorted coldly: "As long as Chu Xu is willing, you can end your single life in a minute."

Shen Zhichu smiled bitterly and shrugged: "Maybe."

He gave Zhuo Chengze a look, indicating that he should go on his own and not be a third wheel.

Zhuo Chengze nodded slightly, he was not stupid, he could not stand Gu Jinchi pretending to be affectionate, it made him feel uncomfortable.

But to be honest, if Su Wenlang had such acting skills, he probably wouldn't have been criticized so badly, right?
