Chapter 8: The CEO's Substitute, the Crippled Man - Deadly
However, at this moment, Gu Shanshan was completely unaware of Gong Ye's words.
Because he fell down a high staircase, he suffered a hole in his brain and bled a lot. He also stayed in such a dirty place for so long, and his wounds became infected.
Her small face was covered in blood and grime, making it impossible to see her features. Only her full lips were visible, pale and bluish, like those of a lifeless corpse.
In short, Gu Shanshan is currently teetering on the brink of life and death.
He was also unaware that after Gong Ye said those words to him, the progress bar for the "darkening" value above his head decreased by 10%, leaving only 90%.
Gong Ye's entire focus was on Gu Shanshan. He didn't even realize that he was paying far too much attention to this substitute wife he had bought.
No one noticed that the butler, who was peeking from around the corner, had eyes that seemed to be poisoned, staring resentfully at Gu Shanshan in Gong Ye's arms.
My hands were clenched tightly at my sides, my nails digging into my palms, but I didn't feel any pain.
Because he was afraid. Having followed Gong Ye for several years, no one knew Gong Ye's cruelty and ruthlessness better than him.
Those who have betrayed Gong Ye will be tormented to the point of being unable to live or die, forced to endure a lifetime of agony.
If Gu Shanshan wakes up, she will tell Gong Ye that he was the one who did it, and whisper sweet nothings in Gong Ye's ear.
Then he will die a terrible death.
No...no!
He endured so many years of hardship, even plotting against the original butler, to finally establish himself as the butler in the Gong family. He was determined to stay by Gong Ye's side for the rest of his life.
We absolutely cannot let Gu Shanshan, this stand-in, block our way!
The butler's lips curled into a cruel sneer as he whispered, "Gu Shanshan, don't hate me. No matter what, you can't live!"
He had to find a way to kill Gu Shanshan in the hospital, before she could speak to Gong Ye.
The operating room lights stayed on for a very long time. Gong Ye had a gloomy face, and his tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.
The heart inside my chest aches with a suffocating pain.
Gong Ye never expected that this substitute tool would cause him such...heartache and unease.
Including that fleeting glimpse and their wedding night, the two had only met less than three times.
He truly didn't understand how he could have such intense feelings for Gu Shanshan.
When he slept with Gu Shanshan, his body felt as if it had found the missing rib, and both his body and soul were incredibly satisfied.
It's like, were they... very familiar with each other? Or did they have a very close relationship?
Gong Ye frowned more and more deeply as he thought about it.
If he weren't a materialist, he would have mistakenly thought that Gu Shanshan had cast a love spell on him.
Thinking of his beloved, who was as radiant as a star, Gong Ye's expression changed, feeling a sense of guilt for having betrayed him.
Gong Ye's face grew even uglier, and he put one hand to his forehead and closed his eyes.
No... He had been devoted to that person he cherished for so many years, how could Gu Shanshan possibly replace him?
Absolutely not!
After an unknown amount of time, when she opened her eyes again, the eyes that had been turbulent because of Gu Shanshan had become calm and indifferent.
It seems that the person lying inside still has little to do with him.
After a long while, the operating room lights finally went out and the door was opened.
Gong Ye, however, was no longer anxious. He stood there indifferently, looking calmly at the person lying on the hospital bed with a face as pale as paper.
The butler breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Gong Ye did not move.
It seems that Gong Ye doesn't really care much about Gu Shanshan, his stand-in.
Thinking this, the housekeeper went up to ask the doctor about Gu Shanshan's condition. When he learned that Gu Shanshan would not wake up for the time being, he felt relieved.
It's better if he doesn't wake up.
In this way, he would have the opportunity to silence Gu Shanshan before she woke up and began to bewitch Gong Ye, thus making him a wronged ghost.
Seeing Gu Shanshan's still stunningly beautiful face, she was not injured at all from falling down the stairs, except for a large hole in her forehead.
If his vision hadn't been obscured by the bloodstains on her face, he would have already grabbed a knife and slashed that vixen-like face to pieces.
"That wretched woman is really lucky," the steward cursed inwardly.
After inquiring about the situation and reporting to Gong Ye, someone was sent to Gu Shanshan's ward.
Then, standing next to Gong Ye, he was about to report, but Gong Ye gestured for the butler to shut up.
He said indifferently, "No need to say anything, I don't care."
He's just a substitute, someone he uses to remember the person he loved but couldn't have. He doesn't need to give him too much attention.
The butler was secretly delighted.
The more ruthless and indifferent Gong Ye was to Gu Shanshan, the happier he became.
In the hospital ward.
Only Gong Ye and Gu Shanshan were present.
Gong Ye stood in front of the hospital bed, looking down at the bloodless Gu Shanshan. He leaned down and placed a cold kiss on Gu Shanshan's lips.
It was like a goodbye kiss.
Cut off that initial flutter of excitement.
He left after a moment, his deep voice emanating from his perfectly curved lips.
"Gu Shanshan, take care of yourself."
In order not to betray the person in his heart, Gong Ye knew that he absolutely could not continue to have contact with Gu Shanshan.
Gu Shanshan was like a vixen covered in drugs, constantly tempting his heart.
He had always thought he would remain steadfastly devoted to the person in his heart for the rest of his life, but now...
He...lost control.
Gong Ye glanced at Gu Shanshan on the hospital bed, who was so captivating that he couldn't help but succumb to her charms with just a glance. He then looked away with difficulty, turned around, and left the ward with a heartless back view.
When the butler saw Gong Ye come out, he greeted him with a gentle smile, "Mr. Gong, is there anything you need?"
Gong Ye's handsome face was extremely cold, and he used a chilling tone to conceal his inner turmoil.
"Take good care of him, and bring him back to the villa after he recovers."
"Yes, Mr. Gong, I will definitely take good care of Madam."
Anyway, Gu Shanshan had barely escaped death, and in such a dangerous situation, any complication could have taken her life at any moment.
If anything happens to Gu Shanshan, it will be entirely the hospital's responsibility.
It has absolutely nothing to do with him.
The housekeeper revealed a resentful smile, turned around and went into the ward, locking the door behind him.
He slowly put on thin rubber gloves, then took an empty syringe out of his pocket.
The syringe contained no medicine, only air.
Injecting air into blood vessels causes it to flow into the heart and lung tissues with the blood, reducing the binding rate of hemoglobin with oxygen, leading to hypoxic-pulmonary infarction and ultimately death.
Looking at Gu Shanshan's pale yet still stunningly beautiful face, so beautiful and so strikingly similar to Gong Ye's beloved, the butler's eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment.
However, he quickly revealed a relieved smile.
"It doesn't matter anymore. No matter how beautiful you are, you're destined to die anyway."
As he spoke, the butler picked up a syringe, pinched Gu Shanshan's slender arm, found a vein, and plunged the needle in firmly...
