Seeing Gu Liyan's panicked expression, Mo Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go ask the strategist right now why he did this!"
Gu Liyan hurriedly grabbed him, her voice hoarse, "No...you can't..."
"Mo Li! If this continues, he will kill you!" Mo Chen said anxiously.
Gu Liyan lowered his eyes and gave a bitter smile. "I... am his son... He wanted to kill me... I had no choice but to... accept my fate!"
Mo Chen was taken aback. "Wh-what?"
Gu Liyan shook his head, not wanting to continue. "You can leave now..."
Mo Chen sat down in front of Gu Liyan. "Mo Li, were your injuries inflicted by them? Or do you have some hidden reason, or do they have some leverage over you?"
Gu Liyan shook his head, his eyes vacant and lifeless, his voice trembling slightly, "My injury... was an accident, there was no hidden reason... no evidence against me, it was just an accident..."
Mo Chen didn't believe it and was about to say something when he heard footsteps. He immediately stood up and said angrily, "That guy is back! Even if I can't beat him, I will get justice for you!"
Gu Liyan tried to stop Mo Chen upon hearing this, but it was too late; Mo Chen had already run out of the room.
Emerging from the bedroom, Mo Chen saw a figure and, without thinking, prepared to catch the other party off guard, immediately threw a punch...
To everyone's surprise, the person seemed to have been prepared, easily dodging the attack by tilting their head. Before Mo Chen could react, the person kicked Mo Chen in the chest.
Mo Chen fell to the ground, wincing in pain. "Damn it..."
Mo Chen was about to get up and fight again when the man laughed and said, "What? Gu Yan asked you to impersonate Xiao Li, and you want to kill me to silence me?"
Mo Chen was taken aback. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person who had come was none other than Mo Bai!
"Bai, Lord Bai!" Mo Chen hurriedly withdrew his fist.
"Hmph, you've really grown arrogant, daring to ambush me." Mo Bai sneered.
"My lord, what brings you here today?" Mo Chen asked.
"If I hadn't come soon, Xiao Li would have been tortured to death!" Mo Bai said irritably.
"By the way, sir, I have something to tell you. I just discovered that Mo Li was poisoned by the strategist, he..."
Before Mo Chen could finish speaking, a "thump" came from inside the room. Mo Bai and Mo Chen looked at each other and hurriedly ran towards the bedroom.
Upon entering, one sees Gu Liyan lying on the ground, covered in blood, with the sword Mo Bai had given him embedded in his chest.
"Xiao Li!" Mo Bai ran up and helped Gu Liyan up. Seeing that Gu Liyan was about to commit suicide, he angrily said, "You little fox, what are you doing!"
Upon hearing Mo Bai's voice, Gu Liyan slowly opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Mo Bai... he wants me dead... but I can't die by his hand... so I can only..."
"Why are you so stubborn! I already asked him, and he said he doesn't want to harm you, he wants to save you!" Mo Bai said anxiously.
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something when he saw Gu Yan and Gu Li rushing back. The two of them seemed to be holding a herb... it seemed to be... the herb of immortality!
Gu Liyan felt dizzy and fainted.
