Chapter 12: I'm willing to do anything for you
Zhou He came out of the bathroom and changed into clean clothes.
He slowly walked downstairs and into the living room.
Gu Yuanyuan leaned back on the sofa, looking at the rain outside the window. He seemed very sad, as if he was thinking of something.
Zhou He walked to Gu Yuanyuan's side, "Brother Yuan."
Gu Yuanyuan snapped out of his reverie and gestured to Zhou He, "Sit down."
"Um."
"Su Hengyi left this house to me. Do you see the road outside the floor-to-ceiling windows?"
"Um."
“I once carried Su Hengyi on my back for such a long way, with men in black standing on both sides holding guns. Countless black gun barrels were pointed at me. If they wanted to, they would have riddled me with bullets.”
Gu Yuanyuan paused, then continued, "That road was full of broken glass. I carried Su Hengyi on my back and walked through it. When I couldn't walk anymore, I knelt down and crawled like a dog to get out. At that time, Mu Yang promised me that if I died on that road, he would still let Su Hengyi go."
"Brother Yuan..."
Zhou He's heart clenched with pain. He couldn't bear to think about what Gu Yuanyuan looked like back then. His throat felt like it was blocked, making it hard to breathe.
Gu Yuanyuan continued, "I was indeed dying at that time, but I didn't want to die. I wanted to live, to live with Su Hengyi, to get married, and to make him fall in love with me, and to spend my whole life with me. You know that feeling, right?"
Zhou He nodded; he knew that feeling because he truly loved Gu Yuanyuan.
I've loved you for so many years, and I'm unwilling to let go.
"But if I had to choose again, I would rather die on that road, so that Su Hengyi would remember me for many years like he remembers Mu Guangcheng, instead of having no other feelings for me except to hate me."
"Brother Yuan, I don't hate you, I love you. From now on, let me love you, okay? I'll never let you suffer again."
Zhou He walked over, knelt down on one knee, and grabbed Gu Yuanyuan's hand, holding it tightly between his fingertips.
Gu Yuanyuan looked at Zhou He and told him, "But I'm not reconciled. He's the person I saved with my life. Why should he not want me and marry someone else? Does he know how much pain I was in when I was crawling on that glass road? I'm naturally afraid of pain. My mother said it's a rich person's disease, but I still experienced the most painful wounds in the world. It took so long for my flesh to heal, and the scars didn't disappear even after using so many precious medicines. My legs are also left with permanent injuries."
Gu Yuanyuan's tears streamed down his cheeks. He gripped Zhou He's hand tightly, as if he hated him to the extreme.
"Mu Guangcheng didn't die at all, but if it weren't for me that day, Su Hengyi would definitely be dead! It was Mu Guangcheng who harmed Su Hengyi. He was the one who took Su Hengyi abroad. If Su Hengyi leaves the country before he turns twenty, he will face a life-or-death crisis. Mu Guangcheng was his life-or-death crisis. He was bound to die. It was me, I almost traded my life for his and saved him. Why did I end up like this? Why, Zhou He? Does anyone love Su Hengyi as much as I do? Mu Guangcheng? Would he be willing to die for Su Hengyi?! Su Hengyi loves him so much that she's willing to die for him, but would he be willing to die for Su Hengyi? He wouldn't! The only person who would die for Su Hengyi is me!"
Zhou He held Gu Yuanyuan's hand tightly. "Brother Yuan, but he doesn't love you."
"If he doesn't love me, then find a way. If you really can't have him, then destroy him. Why should I compromise?"
Gu Yuanyuan pressed on Zhou He's shoulder, his expression one of extreme hatred, his eyes filled with malice. "Help me, Zhou He, please help me, okay? You don't want to see me in so much pain, do you?"
"Brother Yuan, how do you want me to help you?"
Zhou He looked at Gu Yuanyuan with tears in his eyes. He reached out and hugged Gu Yuanyuan tightly, holding her close in his arms.
"Brother Yuan, I'm willing to die for you, even if it means death. I'll do anything you ask. I love you, Brother Yuan, I love you."
Gu Yuanyuan did not hug Zhou He back. He just knelt coldly on the carpet, letting Zhou He hug him so tightly, like a moth embracing a flame.
Then, in agony, it turned to ashes.
Gu Yuanyuan turned her head and whispered in Zhou He's ear.
Zhou He froze, a sudden tremor running through the depths of his eyes.
Gu Yuanyuan finally reached out and hugged Zhou He's waist. He whispered in his ear, "Are you okay?"
It's like whispers between lovers.
Zhou He closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. Then he lowered his head, as if fully enjoying the embrace, and pressed Gu Yuanyuan's head against his chest.
"Did you hear that, Brother Yuan?"
"Um?"
"My heart says that it loves you and is willing to do anything for you, as long as you are happy."
"Thanks."
Gu Yuanyuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as Zhou He never wanted Gu Yuanyuan's "thank you," he also couldn't win Gu Yuanyuan's affection and love.
A brightly lit bar.
Mu Guangcheng arrived at the place he had agreed upon with Gu Yuanyuan. Gu Yuanyuan called him and said she wanted to talk to him about Mu Yang's crimes, saying she had new evidence.
If Gu Yuanyuan said she wanted to talk to Mu Guangcheng about Su Hengyi, Mu Guangcheng would definitely not come.
But if it involves Mu Yang's weaknesses...
Mu Guangcheng will definitely come. In fact, he was prepared for Gu Yuanyuan to cause trouble before he came.
But to his surprise, the person sitting opposite him was not Gu Yuanyuan, but Zhou He.
Zhou He asked the waiter to open a bottle of wine. He took the bottle, poured himself a glass, and poured one for Mu Guangcheng.
"Brother Yuan said he didn't really want to see you, and asked me to give you the evidence."
"How could Gu Yuanyuan have evidence of Mu Yang's crimes? You're not lying to me, are you?"
"How could that be?"
Zhou He took out his phone and opened the video. It was a secretly filmed video, and although it was not clear, it did capture Mu Yang's voice and face.
The most important thing is the face.
This is the sale of illegal goods. If this evidence is reported, Mu Yang will be finished.
Actually, this was copied by Gu Yuanyuan from Su Hengyi's computer. This evidence was left by Su Hengyi. The reason why Su Hengyi did not use this new evidence to directly report Mu Yang in Country A must be because he had his own considerations.
In short, it's not the right time.
But Gu Yuan couldn't care less about that now; he was determined to get Mu Guangcheng out of his mind.
Fortunately, Su Hengyi trusted Gu Yuanyuan and never prevented him from entering the study, plus Gu Yuanyuan disdained to touch Su Hengyi's things.
He was a young master from a prestigious family, had plenty of money, and was arrogant. He had no reason to steal anything from Su Hengyi, since he lacked nothing.
But on that day at the fireworks festival, Gu Yuanyuan keenly sensed something. Fearing that Su Hengyi was in danger, he secretly copied the contents of Su Hengyi's computer, mainly the chat logs, to see how dangerous Su Hengyi's plan really was.
If it's too dangerous, he'll have to find a way to stop Su Heng from going, or have him stay with him, and even be willing to die for him if necessary.
However, Su Heng deleted all the chat history so thoroughly that Gu Yuanyuan couldn't figure out what the plan was, but unexpectedly obtained some evidence.
"So, do you believe me now?"
Send this to me.
"No rush, Brother Yuan has plenty of these things. Let's drink this glass of wine and then talk."
Mu Guangcheng raised his glass. He understood perfectly. "Gu Yuanyuan sold me this evidence. What conditions did he ask for?"
Zhou He and Mu Guangcheng drank together. When they put down their glasses, Zhou He said, "What conditions could Brother Yuan possibly have? Of course, he hopes you won't be with Su Hengyi. If you agree, you can have the rest of the evidence."
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that. But I think if Su Hengyi asks Gu Yuanyuan for these things, Gu Yuanyuan won't be able to hide them from him, right?"
"However, I won't do that. I'll find the evidence myself. I didn't come here today for the evidence, but just to tell Gu Yuanyuan. I can't bear to see Su Hengyi suffer, so please, Gu Yuanyuan, leave Su Hengyi completely."
Just as Mu Guangcheng was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Zhou He went up to help Mu Guangcheng, and the people around him exchanged glances. Mu Guangcheng's bodyguards were quickly subdued.
Zhou He carried Mu Guangcheng upstairs to the hotel, swiped the room card, and placed Mu Guangcheng on the bed.
Actually, there was something wrong with that bottle of wine; something was put in it.
Zhou He took a shower and came out feeling very hot, almost burning hot.
Mu Guangcheng on the bed was in no better shape; his buttons were disheveled, his cheeks were flushed, and he was biting the edge of the blanket, whimpering softly.
Zhou He knew there was something in the wine, so he only drank a little, and he felt so bad. Imagine how much worse it must have been for Mu Guangcheng, who drank a whole glass.
Zhou He turned back and took out the medicine box and syringe that he had hidden in his pocket.
Gu Yuanyuan was worried about Zhou He, fearing he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it, so she insisted that he drink as well.
But Gu Yuanyuan overlooked the fact that Zhou He was a doctor who could prescribe his own medicine. He wanted to stay sober, and even if he were to touch Mu Guangcheng, he hoped it would only be once, not a night of madness.
If it was just once, is he not that dirty? Is there still room for Gu Yuanyuan to love him?
Zhou He is deceiving himself again.
He had promised Gu Yuanyuan that he was willing to do anything for her, but he always hesitated when it came to actually doing it. He was so reluctant to leave Gu Yuanyuan, even though Gu Yuanyuan had told him to get lost so many times, he still appeared in her world.
Zhou He prepared the medicine and was about to inject it into himself.
"It's so hot, so hot..."
Mu Guangcheng's voice was still incredibly weak, as if he were in extreme pain.
Zhou He pressed the needle tip against the vein, and after a long while, he closed his eyes and then walked to the bedside. He pressed Mu Guangcheng's arm and injected the needle into Mu Guangcheng's vein.
Then he dropped the syringe and jumped back.
He slowly slid down the wall, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really can't do it... Brother Yuan, I can die for you, but I can't betray you or my own feelings."
