Chapter 27: Obsessive Childhood Sweetheart's Forced Pampering - Buying with Money
Gu Shanshan was stunned when she heard Gu Linfeng's words.
Gu Linfeng said that he threatened to kill himself to blackmail Gong Ye, but Gong Ye did not agree to Gu Linfeng's demands.
Instead, Gu Linfeng killed him.
However, it was only a momentary daze, and then I understood.
He believed that Gong Ye's choice was not wrong, and that this was a normal reaction.
In the hospital, Gong Ye had already given him that much money, ending that absurd relationship.
Now, they are two strangers.
Why should they give him money to save his life?
After figuring it out, Gu Shanshan felt even more flustered.
Jiang Ziheng lay in the hospital; there was no one left in the world to save his life.
[007, is there any way I can escape this predicament?]
Gu Shanshan panicked. He had already completed so many missions in so many worlds and didn't want to die here like this.
He was unwilling to accept it.
He also wanted a chance to be reborn and return to the real world to take revenge on himself.
【Host, you can persuade Gu Linfeng to give you the phone number. Then you can call Gong Ye and plead for your life. Perhaps he will be willing to pay to save your life.】
007 hints.
Gu Shanshan gritted her teeth and weakly replied, "But... I don't remember Gong Ye's number..."
He disliked Gong Ye from the very beginning.
They always treated Gong Ye as a monster, avoiding him at all costs.
Why would I write down his number?
To be honest, after he arrived in this world, he didn't even remember his own number.
The only number he remembered belonged to his target, Jiang Ziheng.
Now it was 007's turn to remain silent.
【Host, good luck to you. There's nothing else they can do.】
"You dare to daydream even when you're about to die, Gu Shanshan? Do you look down on me? I'll beat you to death, you arrogant bastard!"
After grumbling and cursing, he placed his finger on the trigger and pulled it sharply...
Faced with Gu Linfeng's ferocious expression, Gu Shanshan closed her eyes in despair, thinking she was about to die, when a pleasant melody began to play.
bell......
In this tense atmosphere, the sound seemed particularly abrupt.
It was Gu Linfeng's phone ringtone.
Both of their eyes fell on the phone that had suddenly rang.
The ringing of the cell phone successfully stopped Gu Linfeng from firing his gun.
Gu Shanshan swallowed nervously, looking at the phone that was lying on the ground and ringing incessantly.
He whispered, "Aren't you going to answer it?"
Gu Linfeng now hates Gu Shanshan to death, and gets irritated whenever he hears her voice.
The cold, hard muzzle of the gun was pressed firmly against Gu Shanshan's forehead. "Did I tell you to speak? Shut the hell up!"
The phone kept ringing, as if it wouldn't stop until it was answered.
This made Gu Linfeng even more agitated.
"Not a single good thing is coming out of this fucking world!"
As he spoke, he stomped hard on the phone on the ground.
"stop!"
Gu Shanshan just wanted to buy time and find a chance to escape.
Without thinking, he spoke up to stop him, under Gu Linfeng's terrifying gaze.
With difficulty, she asked, "What if it's Gong Ye's call? What if he changes his mind and wants to pay to ransom me? Are you sure you don't want to answer?"
"If I guess right, you'll have ten million dollars. That's better than killing me, isn't it?"
"Even if I'm wrong and it wasn't Gong Ye who called, you can still kill me then. Anyway, no one's coming to save me now, so it doesn't matter when you kill me, right?"
"Ten million or the delay could cost me my life. Gu Linfeng, you should know which is more important, right?"
"After all, Gong Ye has slept with me so many times. What if he gets addicted and doesn't want me to die?"
"If it really is his phone call, and you kill me then, where are you going to find a living me to exchange for the money? Ten million or me, Gu Linfeng, you don't need me to tell you which one to choose, right?"
Gu Shanshan was trying her best to persuade Gu Linfeng to let her live a little longer.
Every moment of delay is precious; until the very end, no one knows if a miracle will happen.
The two people in the attic of the dilapidated house were unaware that in the distant forest, four sniper rifles were simultaneously aimed at Gu Linfeng's head inside the house.
Everything that happened inside the house was being closely watched and monitored.
If Gu Linfeng dares to lay a hand on Gu Shanshan, his head will be blown off by a sniper rifle a second before he fires.
Assistant Wang hadn't expected Gu Shanshan to be so eloquent.
They were all ready for the sniper to fire.
Gong Ye, wearing a headset, heard Gu Shanshan's words and a smile appeared on his lips.
Ha, the little rascal isn't too stupid after all.
At least they know how to stall for time.
However, he was quite concerned that Gu Shanshan actually thought he would call again.
Even if it was a guess, Gu Shanshan guessed correctly.
He did indeed have someone make the phone call, and everything, starting from the hospital, was orchestrated by him.
After he sobered up that night, he thought carefully about where the problem between him and Gu Shanshan lay, and why he lost to Jiang Ziheng, who was inferior to him in every way.
Finally, he attributed everything to the bad timing.
He even had his assistant Wang devise a series of plans to pursue Gu Shanshan and drive Jiang Ziheng out of her heart.
Finally, this plan was selected.
The "hero saves the damsel in distress" trope may be cliché, but it can be surprisingly effective sometimes.
"Mr. Gong, what should we do now?" Assistant Wang asked for instructions.
"No rush, we'll adapt to the situation."
He glanced at the phone still dialing in Wang Te's assistant and said, "Keep dialing, don't stop."
Assistant Wang nodded, "Understood."
......
Gu Linfeng thought about Gu Shanshan's words carefully and realized that Gu Shanshan made a good point.
What if the person calling really is Gong Ye? What if Gong Ye agrees to give him ten million in exchange for Gu Shanshan?
If he accidentally kills Gu Shanshan, he'll lose all his money.
Thinking it over, he put away his gun.
"Gu Shanshan, I'll be merciful and let you live a little longer."
As he spoke, he picked up the phone from the ground.
A look of surprise flashed across his face when he saw that familiar number.
Gu Shanshan noticed Gu Linfeng's expression and her brows furrowed slightly.
Could it be that his wild guess was right?
Gu Linfeng slapped Gu Shanshan across the face. "Tsk, I didn't realize you were so capable, you little bitch. You actually got it right, you really are one of Gong Ye's people."
Through the binoculars, Gong Ye saw that Gu Shanshan had been slapped, and his face darkened.
From the very beginning of the plan, Gu Shanshan was beaten countless times by Gu Linfeng, and he remembered it all vividly.
He wanted countless times to order someone to chop off Gu Linfeng's claws and feed them to him.
But when I thought of the plan, I could only suppress my feelings.
No, he can't act impulsively.
The most important thing now is for him to take care of Shan Shan's feelings.
As for the rest, we'll settle that later.
......
After Gu Linfeng finished hitting Gu Shanshan, he pressed the call button.
Assistant Wang spoke up, "Gu Linfeng, President Gong has suddenly changed his mind. Is he still here? If not, then forget it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linfeng glanced at Gu Shanshan.
He had a lewd smile and shamelessly raised prices on the spot.
"Hey, yes, yes, but I've changed my mind. I want twenty million. If it's a penny less, I'll rape and kill that bitch Gu Shanshan right now!"
Hearing Gu Linfeng's disgusting words, Gu Shanshan almost vomited.
He and Gu Linfeng were, after all, half-brothers by blood. How could he say such disgusting things?
Upon hearing this, Assistant Wang secretly glanced at his boss, whose expression had become even more terrifying.
He replied, "Deal."
A glint of excitement flashed in Gu Linfeng's eyes.
He spat and said, "Hahaha, President Gong is such a generous man. He's willing to spend so much money for a bitch. I like it."
"Our people will be here tomorrow night at 7 p.m. with 20 million. They'll call you then."
"No problem, we'll settle the money and hand over the person later. But if you dare bring anyone over and I find out, be careful, I might just shoot that bitch Gu Shanshan dead."
"Don't worry, Gu Linfeng. Our CEO Gong isn't short of money. As long as Gu Shanshan is safe and sound."
"Tsk, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Deal!"
After saying that, Assistant Wang hung up the phone.
Gu Linfeng's phone was of poor quality, and Gu Shanshan overheard every word that Assistant Wang said.
Gu Shanshan never expected that Gong Ye would agree to exchange 20 million for her.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.
They've only slept together, why is Gong Ye making such a fuss?
Could it be that he's really addicted to sleeping with himself?
As for liking it.
Gu Shanshan wouldn't even dare to consider this possibility. How could someone like Gong Ye possibly like someone?
Gu Linfeng put away his phone, a bright smile on his face.
He patted Gu Shanshan's face and said, "Tsk, you bitch, you're lucky. You're saved."
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the second day has arrived.
After being kidnapped, Gu Shanshan didn't eat anything.
After all, Gu Linfeng hated him to death and never gave him a drop of water.
Her once full lips were now pale, dry, and peeling, and she looked extremely weak.
As it drew closer to 7 p.m., Gu Linfeng became increasingly agitated, pacing back and forth downstairs.
The sound of footsteps made Gu Shanshan upstairs have a headache.
The small, dilapidated house was built on a cliff, and due to years of neglect, even the slightest noise could be heard throughout the entire building.
The house was surrounded by lush trees, with many branches extending into the house and rustling in the cold night wind.
Just as Gu Shanshan was drifting off to sleep, her mouth was suddenly covered from behind.
Startled, he opened his eyes instantly, his gaze filled with panic.
Who could have sneaked in so quietly?
Did he die a violent death before he was rescued by Gong Ye?
"Hmm..."
He wanted to make a sound to attract Gu Linfeng downstairs.
It's very close to the building downstairs, only seven or eight steps away. If we hurry, Gu Linfeng can get here in thirty seconds.
Just as he let out a muffled groan, a familiar voice rang in his ear.
"Shh, don't be afraid, it's me."
That low, familiar voice successfully silenced him.
It was Miyako.
In the darkness, Gong Ye circled around to Gu Shanshan and carefully cut the ropes binding her with a knife.
Looking at the cold-faced man in front of her, Gu Shanshan was utterly shocked.
He had considered many possibilities, but he never imagined that Gong Ye would come to rescue him personally.
As if hearing Gu Shanshan's doubts, Gong Ye explained in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
I don't trust other people.
The man's hot breath sprayed against her ear, and Gu Shanshan's heart pounded violently, faster than ever before.
After finishing the procedure, Gong Ye whispered an explanation in Gu Shanshan's ear.
“I came up from the tree branch that extends into the house. Don’t make any noise later. We’ll go out from the branch, understand?”
Gu Shanshan nodded and responded softly.
"I see."
"Good girl."
Gong Ye gave Gu Shanshan a restrained kiss on the cheek, then took her hand and led her toward the tree branch that stretched into the room.
Next to that branch was the window that had fallen off.
Gu Shanshan still remembers that below that window was a cliff.
Gu Shanshan's mind was elsewhere, and she didn't notice that Gong Ye, who was walking ahead, had a calculating smile on his lips.
He didn't warn Gu Shanshan when he stepped over an obstacle.
Sitting nonchalantly in front, Gu Shanshan, unaware of anything amiss, followed behind Gong Ye.
As the two walked to the branch that stretched in from the window, he suddenly stumbled and tripped over an obstacle.
"Ah..." Gu Shanshan fell hard, scraped her knee, and screamed in pain.
He fell to the ground with a thud, making a loud noise.
Bang!
Hearing a sound coming from upstairs, Gu Linfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran upstairs.
The door was kicked open with a bang. In less than ten seconds, Gu Shanshan had only managed to get up from the ground when Gu Linfeng's flashlight shone on Gong Ye and Gu Shanshan.
Seeing that Gong Ye was about to run away with Gu Shanshan, he turned pale with anger.
He raised his pistol, pointed it at Gu Shanshan, and pulled the trigger.
"Trying to sneak away, you damn bitch! You dare to mess with me? If I don't get the money, you won't leave here alive, you filthy bitch! I'll beat you to death, you slut!"
The moment the gunshot rang out, Gong Ye pulled Gu Shanshan into his arms without hesitation, instantly switching places with her.
Bang!
After a gunshot, the bullet that was supposed to hit Gu Shanshan's body instantly pierced Gong Ye's back.
Their bodies fell together from the broken, collapsed window...
