Chapter 194 I Cured Him
Shi Nianzhi had already guessed that today's events seemed like a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
He smashed the glass in his hand with force. "I knew he wouldn't let this go. He only dared to mess with my people. He's asking for it!"
That very night, Shi Nianzhi led his men straight to Lu Bing's residence, aggressively demanding that Lu Bing hand over the person.
As a result, the security captain of Lu Bing's villa came out and told Shi Nianzhi, "Our boss Lu has gone abroad and is not currently in the country. If you want to find him, you need to contact him and make an appointment in advance."
Shi Nianzhi grabbed the bodyguard by the collar, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, "Stop giving me that official talk, hand over the person!"
The security captain shrugged and chuckled, "Who is this? Mr. Gu is causing trouble here so late at night. We've already called the police."
"You think you can intimidate me by threatening to call the police? I, Gu Zijian, am not easily scared. Go inside and search me!"
Shi Nianzhi sneered, and with a command, the men behind him rushed into the villa.
It was as if Lu Bing had given prior instructions.
The security personnel at his villa didn't lift a finger, letting Shi Nianzhi's men search the entire villa inside and out, smashing everything they could.
Lu Bing never showed her face from beginning to end; she was truly not at home. Lu Jiunian was also nowhere to be found.
Shi Nianzhi's face was cold and gloomy.
The bodyguard captain smiled and said to Shi Nianzhi, "Our boss, Mr. Lu, said you're upset, after all, you lost so much money. He won't hold today's incident against you. You can smash whatever you want in the house. But the police are coming soon. If you've had enough, you should leave. Otherwise, if you get arrested, your family will have to pull some strings again."
Lu Bing is a smiling tiger, and so are his subordinates.
Shi Nianzhi was extremely anxious about where Lu Bing had taken Lu Jiunian, but he couldn't lose his temper and at least not end up in the police station.
"Let's go."
Shi Nianzhi left with his men.
The bodyguard captain bowed slightly to him and said, "Take care."
Shi Nianzhi sat in the back seat of the car, his lips pressed into a line. He dialed Lu Bing's number again, but it was already switched off.
Shi Nianzhi reported the incident to the police that night, and the police began investigating Lu Jiunian's disappearance.
But there were no results. Lu Bing's methods were too sophisticated, and it was impossible to find out where Lu Jiunian had been taken, at least in the short term.
Shi Nianzhi stayed up all night, sending out wave after wave of people to monitor and investigate at airports, high-speed rail stations, and all entrances and exits to the capital.
All he wants now is to find Lu Jiunian, who has zero fighting power after going mad and could be harmed at any time.
He didn't sleep for three whole days. But news of Lu Jiunian seemed to sink without a trace.
Shi Nianzhi started experiencing auditory hallucinations. He would hear the slightest sound and think that Lu Jiunian had returned, so he would run out to check.
When they saw that it wasn't true, their eyes were filled with disappointment and despair.
Gu Dongxuan advised him, "Lu Bing will come back eventually. When he does, you can interrogate him. If you keep going like this, you'll ruin your health. Listen to me, go to sleep."
Shi Nianzhi was sitting on the sofa. Upon hearing this, he lowered his head and ran his hand through his messy hair.
"I can't sleep, brother. Every time I close my eyes, I think of that idiot. I'm afraid he'll be bullied. You don't know, I've seen him being bullied. I can't accept anyone bullying him or hurting him. Without me, I don't know where he'll be suffering. Just thinking about him probably in pain and fear makes my heart feel like it's being stabbed..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Dongxuan delivered a karate chop to the back of his neck.
Shi Nianzhi fainted.
Gu Dongxuan picked up Shi Nianzhi and placed him on the bed in the bedroom. "Get some sleep."
Hospital.
Gu Yuanyuan lay on the hospital bed, and Zhou He placed a fruit plate within his reach. "Brother Yuan, have some fruit."
Gu Yuanyuan picked up the fruit plate, bent down, and used a toothpick to pick up a piece of apple and started eating it.
"Don't you have anything to do every day? Don't you need to go to school?"
"I've taken leave."
"I won't appreciate it."
Gu Yuanyuan didn't know if it was because she had been spending too much time with Su Hengyi, but sometimes her speech would also carry some of Su Hengyi's brevity and indifference.
Zhou He paused for a moment while peeling the apple, then resumed his normal expression. "I just wanted to come see you; I don't need you to appreciate it."
"Whatever."
Gu Yuanyuan lowered his head and ate some fruit, then put the fruit plate down and leaned against the hospital bed.
He was playing on his phone with his hand wrapped in gauze.
He used to linger over videos with abs or handsome men, but now he just scrolls past them without a second glance; clearly, these things no longer attract him.
But his short videos don't have much else besides these.
After playing for a while, Gu Yuanyuan threw his phone aside and instructed the bodyguard his father had arranged for him, who was standing in front of the hospital bed, "Go and get me discharged."
Zhou He was peeling an apple when it suddenly broke, and the long apple peel fell to the ground.
After the bodyguards left.
Zhou He lowered his head, maintaining the apple-like posture, and said, "You're not having a good time marrying him."
Gu Yuanyuan suddenly turned to look at Zhou He, her eyes and brows seemingly frozen. "What did you say?"
"If you're really doing so well, why are you drinking so much? Can't you see how unhappy you are right now?"
Zhou He closed his eyes slightly and said, "You used to be so arrogant, never taking anyone seriously. But now? You've become so cautious in front of someone. Do you know that if someone is cautious for too long, it will leave traces in their life? Just like you, so cautious, afraid that others will know that your relationship with Su Hengyi isn't good."
"Ha, you think you understand me?"
"I wish I didn't understand you, didn't care about you. But I can't do it."
Zhou He looked up at Gu Yuanyuan.
However, Gu Yuanyuan smashed a cup into his forehead, the force of which broke the skin and caused a slight oozing of blood.
Zhou He remained completely still.
More and more blood gathered on the wound, eventually sliding down his cheek, adding a touch of fragility and pitifulness to his gentle face.
Gu Yuanyuan never took Zhou He seriously. He sneered, "I've dated more than just you, but you're the only one who's been so desperate. Zhou He, I hate people who don't know what's good for them."
Zhou He's eyes were red. He didn't speak, but lowered his head and used a knife to cut the peeled apple into pieces.
Tick-tock —
His blood fell onto the apple, spreading out. Zhou He wiped the blood away with his hand, only to find that it had seeped into the apple's flesh and spread along its lines.
Zhou He chuckled, his eyes glistening with tears. "Before I met you, I had never been in a relationship, nor had I ever loved anyone. But Yuan-ge, you were the one who pursued me. You said you liked me! You made me fall in love with you, love you to death. And then, you told me that it was all just a passing fancy."
With tears in her eyes, Zhou He looked up at Gu Yuanyuan's cold face. "Brother Yuan, look at me, look at how I am now. Have you ever felt this way? You also have someone you love but can't have. Do you know how painful that is? Why do you still hurt me? If you were in the position of the one who hurt you, wouldn't you know what Su Hengyi's state of mind was when he looked at you and treated you?"
Gu Yuanyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, as if his heart had been suddenly gripped, and the pain spread from his heart to his limbs, almost making it impossible for him to breathe.
Gu Yuanyuan coldly rebuked, "Get out!"
"Just like I can't warm your heart, you can't warm Su Hengyi's heart either."
Gu Yuanyuan looked at Zhou He with a sinister gaze, "So what? Do you think I'll be with you just because of this? I have so many choices. Even if it's not Su Hengyi, it's not your turn!"
Zhou He put down the apple and fruit knife in his hand, and rushed over to hug Gu Yuanyuan without hesitation.
"I was wrong, Brother Yuan, please don't be angry with me."
"Get out of here."
Gu Yuanyuan grabbed Zhou He by the collar. Even though Zhou He looked so weak, Gu Yuanyuan couldn't push him away no matter how hard she tried.
Gu Yuanyuan was furious. "Zhou He, are you looking for death? Let go of me!"
"You don't have to be with me, but as long as I can peek into your life on social media and occasionally ask how you are, I'll be content. That's my only wish. Please, Yuan-ge, for the sake of how well I've always behaved, I beg you, I promise I'll never say anything that makes you angry again. I'll be very good, very good as your friend."
"you......"
"If you promise me that, I will leave you and never bother you again."
Gu Yuanyuan was silent for a while, then said, "Since you've said that, I'll remove you from my blacklist."
"good."
Zhou He's "okay" was hard to tell whether it was a sign of joy or sorrow.
He released Gu Yuanyuan and left quickly without looking back.
Gu Yuanyuan was discharged from the hospital that day.
Seven days later, Lu Bing finally showed up. He had just gotten off the plane when Shi Nianzhi grabbed him.
"Let's do it!"
Lu Bing immediately raised one hand to signal to stop, "I'll take you to see Lu Jiunian."
Hospital.
Lu Bing led Shi Nianzhi to the VIP ward, where they saw Lu Jiunian sitting on the hospital bed, with a handsome man beside him feeding him a bowl of porridge.
Lu Bing gave a half-smile, "Go in and see him."
Shi Nianzhi stood outside the glass, coldly watching the scene, especially when Lu Jiunian went to eat the strange man's porridge.
Lu Jiunian's lips twitched slightly, a smile playing on her lips as she spoke to the strange man.
What's wrong with him?
Lu Bing chuckled, "Nothing much, I cured him. How about that, a miracle, right?"
Once cured, they'll be a completely different person.
Shi Nianzhi turned to the side, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent.
Lu Bing pointed to the surveillance camera, "There are surveillance cameras here. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll send you to jail for a few years. Zichu misses you very much."
Lu Bing's smile vanished, replaced by a chilling aura.
"You think you've won?"
Shi Nianzhi raised an eyebrow slightly, gave Lu Bing a sinister look, and then turned and left.
Lu Jiunian seemed to sense something. He looked towards the glass and was startled when he saw Shi Nianzhi's back.
He then got out of bed and rushed out.
