Chapter 17: The Yandere Doctor's Little Cripple: Self-Harm
Gong Ye frowned, seemingly not having considered this aspect of the issue, and gave an irritated order.
"Move it to the basement."
As long as Gu Shanshan doesn't see it, there won't be a problem.
Whenever Gong Ye felt irritable, he liked to torture people by drawing blood.
This was his quirk, a very creepy quirk.
Judging from how Gu Shanshan treated Lin Qianqian, Gong Ye knew that Gu Shanshan was a kind and good person who could not tolerate his bloodthirsty side.
If he decides to be with Gu Shanshan properly, he must give up this kind of dark behavior.
But he has a natural antisocial personality disorder, and getting him to quit is harder than climbing to heaven.
Gong Yejin frowned, his expression full of hostility.
“From tonight onwards, I must keep a close eye on Gu Shanshan whenever I go to the basement.”
His bloody actions must not be revealed to Gu Shanshan.
"Yes, Mr. Gong."
The butler knew that Gong Ye's bloodthirsty behavior was incurable and never dared to dissuade him. After all, if Gong Ye lost control, he would even kill the old butler who had served him for decades.
"I need to see Gu Mingyuan in the basement at nine o'clock tonight."
Everyone who has hurt Gu Shanshan will pay a heavy price.
Gong Ye felt that he hadn't done anything wrong. He was helping Gu Shanshan get revenge, and at the same time, he was satisfying his sadistic and bloodthirsty fetish. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"no problem."
They've done this kind of housekeeping a lot, so they're very skilled at it.
Moreover, capturing someone like Gu Mingyuan, who has no background or connections, would be a piece of cake.
After the butler left, Gong Ye turned and went into his room.
Gu Shanshan didn't expect Gong Ye to return so quickly.
The master bedroom was very soundproof. When Gong Ye went out, he deliberately closed the door, and not a single sound could get in.
Therefore, Gu Shanshan knew nothing about the conversation in the corridor, only surprised that industrialization had returned so quickly.
However, he had already composed himself before Gong Ye pushed open the door and came in.
Once again, she donned the mask of pretense, feigning the image of a docile little pet in front of Gong Ye.
Although Gong Ye no longer treats him as a pet, but as a lover.
"Honey, why are you back so fast? Where's the food?"
Gu Shanshan wasn't being coquettish; he was genuinely hungry.
He was unconscious for so long because of the anesthesia, and when he woke up, he starved to death.
The pain from his wounds made him feel terrible all over.
Hunger and pain made Gu Shanshan's face even paler, making her look pitiful.
Gong Ye's cold heart softened slightly. He took out two pills from the drawer and picked up the warm water on the table.
"Open your mouth and eat it; it's a pain reliever with no side effects."
"Thank you, honey."
Gu Shanshan was overjoyed and quickly grabbed the medicine and put it in her mouth. She then drank all the water in the cup from the hand that Gong Ye was holding.
A few minutes after taking the painkiller, it took effect, and Gu Shanshan felt that her wound was not so painful anymore. She felt even more grateful to Gong Ye.
She looked up at Gong Ye with sincere eyes and said, "Husband, thank you."
Thank you, Gong Ye, for healing his legs and allowing him to stand up again.
"I don't want your thanks, I just want you to stay by my side forever, understand, my shimmer."
When Gong Ye said this, his gaze on Gu Shanshan was very gentle.
His dark eyes were filled with a strong possessiveness. Gu Shanshan couldn't look directly into Gong Ye's eyes; it made him feel uneasy.
Pretending to casually look away, I forced myself to nod, resisting the urge to shake my head in denial.
"My dear husband, I will always stay by your side."
To avoid letting Gong Ye notice the strange expression on his face, Gu Shanshan deliberately snuggled into Gong Ye's arms while saying this, looking as if she loved him very much.
Gong Ye was fooled and leaned down to kiss Gu Shanshan's hair.
"Sparkling, my darling."
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
When Miyako came in, she didn't close the door completely, but left it a crack.
After knocking three times, the butler asked, "Mr. Gong, Young Master Shanshan, the new meal is ready. May I bring it in now?"
"Come in."
Before Gong Ye could speak, Gu Shanshan spoke first.
Unbeknownst to Gong Ye, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when the butler spoke.
Gu Shanshan is now a little afraid of being alone in a room with Gong Ye. He is afraid that Gong Ye will always make him swear oaths, saying that they will be together forever.
Because those vows, once spoken by him, were destined to be nothing but lies.
He couldn't do it, and he felt guilty saying it.
"Yes, Young Master Shanshan."
The butler gently pushed open the door, entered the room with the food cart, and quickly retreated.
Just as Gu Shanshan was about to get the chopsticks and spoon herself, Gong Ye's hand beat her to it.
"You just had surgery, don't move. As your husband, I'll feed you."
Gong Ye is now enjoying feeding Gu Shanshan.
“…Okay.” Gu Shanshan had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
During the half-hour mealtime, the hungry Gu Shanshan had no appetite. She could only stiffly open her mouth to accept Gong Ye's feeding while pretending to be obedient.
He was exhausted from pretending.
Fortunately, after feeding him, Gong Ye left for the company.
After Gong Ye left, Gu Shanshan lay alone on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling above her head.
[007, how long will this hypocritical life continue?]
But the system seemed to be offline, and Gu Shanshan received no response for a long time.
As long as Gong Ye was around, he lived every single moment in fear.
They were afraid of giving themselves away.
Gu Shanshan hadn't forgotten the fate of those people who were locked in the basement by Gong Ye.
The thought of those people with their skin torn open and covered in blood sent chills down Gu Shanshan's spine, and she kept her distance from Gong Ye even more.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if Gong Ye knew that he had been faking everything all this time, that he had been deceiving him all along.
His fate would be hundreds of times worse than those people in the basement.
......
Nine o'clock in the evening.
When Gong Ye returned from the company, he had dinner with Gu Shanshan, behaving just like a loving husband who cherishes his partner.
But after coaxing Gu Shanshan to close her eyes, he got up from the bed and went straight to the basement.
The butler was already waiting outside. After Gong Ye came out, he closed the door, leaving only a crack.
He coldly ordered, "Keep a close eye on him. I'll be back in an hour."
"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely take good care of Young Master Shan Shan."
After receiving the butler's assurance, Gong Ye strode away without looking back.
In the master bedroom.
Gu Shanshan felt guilty all day, and having slept enough beforehand, how could she possibly fall asleep peacefully?
But with Gong Ye by her side, Gu Shanshan was afraid that if she stayed awake, Gong Ye would talk to her again.
He knew that if he talked too much, he would give himself away, so he could only pretend to be asleep.
Therefore, he knew when Gong Ye got up to leave.
After Gong Ye left, he opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling with a vacant look.
As soon as 007 went live, he saw Gu Shanshan like this.
He immediately relayed the message he received from the God System shortly after logging off to Gu Shanshan.
[Host, given your exceptionally fast completion of this objective, the system is now sending you a crucial message. This message concerns whether your 20% corruption value can be successfully reduced to zero, and it is your reward.]
Gu Shanshan asked curiously, "[007, what kind of reward information is it?]"
Gu Shanshan was rarely tempted by the fact that it could actually help him with his next task.
Urgently urging, "[007, stop being so mysterious, just tell me!]"
As soon as Gu Shanshan finished urging him, the system notification sounded in her mind.
[Host, please be aware that the target is currently being subjected to inhumane torture in the basement. Please stop it immediately.]
"Slaughter?"
Gu Shanshan was shocked.
He had always known that Gong Ye was not normal, but Gong Ye had been so gentle in front of him today.
Although it was clear that Gong Ye's gentle expression was stiff, it was still much better than before when he would often sullenly scare him with a dark face.
Gu Shanshan thought this was because Gong Ye's "darkening value" had decreased.
[007, didn't you say that Miyano's corruption level is only 20% now? How could Miyano possibly torture and kill others in this state?]
Gu Shanshan's words made the system realize something it had been forgetting to tell Gu Shanshan.
The system explained, "[Host, have you misunderstood something? The reduction in the target's corruption value only applies to you as the target. It doesn't affect anyone else at all.]"
Gu Shanshan immediately understood after hearing the system's words.
He murmured to himself, "No wonder Gong Ye still retains such dark fetishes."
Therefore, you, host, need to use love to influence and win over the target, letting him know what love and peace are.
[Haha, 007, you're dreaming.]
Gu Shanshan knew his own limitations. He wasn't the Virgin Mary; he couldn't redeem sinners.
However, in order to complete the mission, he must stop Miya from continuing to torture and kill people.
Gu Shanshan was in a state of anxiety.
He was helpless; he didn't know how to stop Gong Ye's habit of cruel killings.
[Host, in this world, you are the most important person to your target. Perhaps you can use yourself as a bargaining chip.]
The system notified Gu Shanshan.
Gu Shanshan clapped her hands. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that? 007, you're so smart!"
Gu Shanshan's gaze searched the room and soon landed on the fruit platter on the table not far away, and she immediately had an idea.
He pretended to want to eat some fruit, but when he reached for it, he dropped it on the ground.
As long as he is injured, Gong Ye will come back.
He bit his lip, knowing that Gong Ye's medical skills were superb and that Gong Ye could still heal his leg even if it was injured this time.
Having mentally prepared herself, Gu Shanshan threw back the covers, looked at her legs wrapped in bandages, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and rolled over, falling heavily off the bed...
