Chapter 442 What Happened That Year
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, she actually pulled out a gleaming folding knife from her bosom.
The cold blade reflected a heart-pounding glow under the light.
Without hesitation, she placed the blade against her slender neck! She cried breathlessly, "What's the point of living? Being abused, slandered, and forcibly separated from my beloved... I've had enough!"
Gu Zhou said nothing and looked coldly at Fei Jiayi who was threatening to commit suicide.
Tan Wenzhou hurried forward and raised his hand to comfort her: "Jiayi! Don't be impulsive! Let's talk it over!"
Gu Chenyi, who was struggling violently, paused as he watched the woman he once loved deeply holding a knife to her neck. His eyes were filled with a complex expression of hatred, suspicion, and a hint of instinctive fear.
Chen Guan maintained his grip, and cursed in astonishment: "Holy crap! Are you serious?!"
Fei Jiayi's sobs became increasingly tragic, the blade pressing against her skin. "It was clearly Gu Zhou's fault! Why are you all helping him? He used the excuse of being drunk to rape me! I'm the one who lost everything! Before... Ah Yi and I were the couple who truly loved each other..."
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she cast a sad and desperate look at Gu Chenyi, her voice trembling with heartbreak: "Ayi!" The blade pressed deeper into her flesh, and a fine red mark faintly emerged. "Please don't leave me, okay? I love you, I really love you... I left because I loved you too much! I feel guilty! I don't want you to leave because of me! I had no choice! Please believe me, okay? Everything I did was for you! Can we be together again? I beg you..."
Gu Chenyi's eyes instantly reddened as fragments of the once sweet past flooded uncontrollably into his mind. Even though his love had long been eroded by hatred, he was still deeply moved by this desperate confession that threatened his own death. His lips moved slightly, as if he was about to speak, swept away by the surging emotions...
"Gu Chenyi!" Gu Zhou's icy voice boomed like thunder, carrying with it an unquestionable majesty and warning. "Wake up!"
The words Gu Chenyi was about to say were abruptly blocked back. The frustration of being forcibly interrupted instantly turned into an even more intense resentment, which he fiercely attacked Gu Zhou: "You are the one who is not in your right mind! You knew she was my girlfriend, yet you did such a beastly thing! You ruined her and hurt me! You have no morals and are extremely disgusting!"
Gu Zhou's dark eyes narrowed dangerously, and a cold light as sharp as a knife flashed from the narrow slits of his eyes. He no longer looked at Fei Jiayi, but stared directly at Gu Chenyi, and said word by word clearly and cruelly: "It has already happened. There is no point in entanglement. It takes two to tango. This woman..."
He lowered his jaw towards Fei Jiayi and said, "The fact that she can climb into my bed means she's restless. Are you sure you want to pick her up? Aren't you afraid that one day she'll get the urge and cheat on you again?"
This sentence was like the most vicious curse, precisely piercing Gu Chenyi's most sensitive nerve! His eyes instantly turned red, and like an enraged bull, he burst out with astonishing strength, trying to break free from Chen Guan's restraints and pounce on Gu Zhou: "Gu Zhou! You beast!!"
He suddenly jumped up, and Chen Guan almost couldn't hold him back. He immediately grabbed him with all his strength: "Oh my god."
Tan Wenzhou frowned and looked at Gu Zhou, disapprovingly saying, "Zhou! Let the past be the past! Stop adding fuel to the fire and provoking him!"
Gu Zhou looked back at him coldly, his tightly pursed lips revealing a suppressed anger, and he said no more.
The scene descended into a complete chaos and stalemate. Fei Jiayi's cries, Gu Chenyi's roars, Chen Guan's scolding, and Tan Wenzhou's attempts at persuasion intertwined, the air tense as if it would explode at any moment.
At this critical moment...
A clear and melodious voice, like pearls falling on a plate, with a strange penetrating power, resounded clearly in everyone's ears:
"Ms. Fei, there has to be a limit to lying."
The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable calm power, instantly freezing the noise at the scene.
Gu Zhou's face, as cold as ice, suddenly froze.
He turned his head almost instinctively.
At the end of the sight, under the light of the entrance to the viewing platform, stood a figure that should not be there.
Wang Yuanling was wrapped in a windbreaker, and underneath the windbreaker was a hospital gown.
Her long hair was slightly disheveled, and her face was pale from illness, but her clear eyes were unusually bright and sharp, looking straight at Fei Jiayi who was holding a knife and threatening to commit suicide.
Tan Wenzhou and Chen Guan also looked shocked.
Tan Wenzhou was surprised and puzzled: "Yuan Ling?"
Gu Zhou said in a deep voice: "Why are you here?"
Wang Yuanling didn't respond to Tan Wenzhou. Instead, she raised her eyelashes and looked straight into Gu Zhou's unexpected and sharp eyes. She said softly, "Why are you admitting something you didn't do?"
Gu Zhou's dark eyes suddenly narrowed.
He silently restrained her, took a step forward with a pale face.
Wang Yuanling's gaze passed over everyone and fixed on Fei Jiayi, whose expression of grief and indignation showed a crack. His voice was light and cold: "Miss Fei, don't rush to commit suicide. I brought someone with you, an old acquaintance of yours."
She tilted her head slightly, glanced behind her, and said coldly: "Bring the person here."
Fei Jiayi's expression was one of shock when she saw the man being held up by his arms by two strong men.
Wang Yuanling looked at her coldly and said, "You keep saying that Gu Zhou ruined you and destroyed you by drinking."
She paused, her pronunciation clear as a whim. "But the fact is, on the night Gu Zhou was drunk, in the VIP room of the M7 bar, you instigated someone to drug Gu Zhou, and then staged a scene of being forced upon him."
The blood color on Fei Jiayi's face instantly drained away, and the hand holding the knife began to tremble violently, and the blade almost cut through her skin.
Her eyes were filled with extreme fear, her lips trembling, she wanted to refute, but couldn't utter a complete syllable: "You...what nonsense are you talking about..."
Gu Chenyi's entire body was shaken. He looked at Fei Jiayi in disbelief, then suddenly turned to Wang Yuanling. Finally, he stared at Gu Zhou, his eyes filled with confusion and crumbling cracks: "Drugging...? What does that mean?!"
Tan Wenzhou and Chen Guan were also completely shocked. They only knew that Gu Zhou had slept with his brother's girlfriend after drinking, causing chaos and turning the brothers against each other, but they never imagined that there was such an unbearable inside story.
Hearing the word "drug", Gu Zhou's body tensed up slightly for a moment. He lowered his head, his dark eyes filled with complex emotions, and he held her tightly.
Wang Yuanling cast a cold gaze on the man he had brought with him: "Tell me everything you know."
The man's lips trembled from being pinned down by the burly man, and he blurted out everything, "Yes, it was Fei Jiayi. She gave me money to buy drugs from me, and asked me to find a way to put them in Mr. Gu's wine. When I put the drugs in, she hid in the next room. When Mr. Gu became unconscious, I helped her carry him to the room we had booked in advance. Then I pretended to notify Young Master Gu to come and pick up the drunk Mr. Gu, but in fact I wanted Young Master Gu to catch him in the act himself."
