Chapter 161 He's someone you can't afford to offend right now.
Lu Jiunian reached out and grabbed Shi Nianzhi by the collar, lifting him off the chair.
"Are you angry? Why are you so easily angered?"
Shi Nianzhi brought her lips closer to Lu Jiunian's and said somewhat ambiguously, "Are you going to lecture me like you did this morning?"
Lu Jiunian lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Shi Nianzhi's lips. If he moved forward just one centimeter, he could kiss Shi Nianzhi like he did in the morning and teach her a lesson.
Finally, he closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind. He used his finger bones to lift Shi Nianzhi up and then slammed him back onto the hospital bed.
His hand moved to grip Shi Nianzhi's neck. "We're over, Shi Nianzhi. From the very beginning, I only found you because of Zijian. I could never love you. Stop playing these useless tricks to seduce me."
After Lu Jiunian finished his warning, he released Shi Nianzhi's neck.
His voice was icy cold. "This is not a place for you. Get out."
Shi Nianzhi sat up in bed, straightened his collar, and moved his slender fingers slowly.
Gu Zijian's eyes were cold. "A-Nian, you once promised me that if one day you couldn't control yourself, you would let me send him away. I see that you can't control yourself now. What's the use of telling him to get lost? He will still come looking for you, and you will still see him. Why not be more decisive and let me arrange a good place for him so that he can never appear in the capital again?"
Shi Nianzhi looked up at Lu Jiunian, her eyes filled with surprise. "You actually promised Gu Zijian something like this in private? Sending me away, you guys are really ruthless."
Lu Jiunian seemed to have reached his limit. "Shut up and get out."
Shi Nianzhi stood up and walked closer to Gu Zijian, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable air of arrogance, "Where are you taking me, hmm?"
Shi Nianzhi really didn't dare to think about it. If he hadn't regained his memories, where would Gu Zijian have sent him?
He sneered, "No matter where you send her, she'll probably suffer a fate worse than death."
Hasn't he suffered enough?
The two of them actually plotted to make him wish he were dead, they just couldn't stand to see him doing well. The most ridiculous thing is that Lu Jiunian agreed.
In front of Lu Jiunian, Gu Zijian would certainly not say that he wanted to send Shi Nianzhi to the black market. The more inhumane a place is, the more he wanted to send Shi Nianzhi there.
To let Shi Nianzhi live in such a place, living without hope, being played with and abused day after day, barely surviving in a state worse than death.
"I will send you abroad, arrange your life, and give you a sum of money. As long as you don't return to the capital, you will be better off than you are now."
Gu Zijian said this in accordance with Shi Nianzhi's words.
Shi Nianzhi gave a mocking laugh after hearing this, and turned to look at Lu Jiunian, "Do you believe what he said?"
Lu Jiunian didn't look at Shi Nianzhi. He turned his gaze to the window and said, "It's not like you can never come back. Once you have someone you want to marry, your freedom will no longer be restricted."
"Do you think I'm a dog? You just want me to stay in this piece of land you've fenced off!"
Shi Nianzhi suddenly raised his voice, as if he was extremely angry, and kicked over a chair.
She questioned Lu Jiunian again, "So now you agree with his actions? Is your next step to send someone to take me away?"
Lu Jiunian's hands, hanging at his sides, tightened slightly, and he appeared somewhat silent.
"Silence, do you think I won't know what you're thinking just because you're silent? You clearly love me, yet you push me away for some so-called responsibility. Aren't you afraid that one day I really won't come back? Do you really not know what Gu Zijian is thinking, or are you pretending not to know? You've handed me over to him, what will happen to me? Have you thought about that?"
You will be fine.
"Fuck you, that's great."
Shi Nianzhi kicked the table over and roared, "I'll be sold to a place you'll never find again. In a few years, or even a few weeks, I might be killed under Gu Zijian's special care. Even if I don't die, my life will be ruined."
Gu Zijian immediately defended himself, "How could you think so badly of me? I wouldn't do such a thing. I'm sending you away for your own good."
"Do I think the worst of you?"
Shi Nianzhi reached out and grabbed Gu Zijian's collar, "Do I need to explain what you've done yourself?"
"Bang----"
Shi Nianzhi pushed Gu Zijian backward, pressed him against the door, and then punched Gu Zijian hard in the stomach.
He was extremely ruthless, and in just a few blows, Gu Zijian's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "A-Nian, save me."
"Calling for one's ancestors won't help."
Noticing Lu Jiunian approaching from behind, Shi Nianzhi grabbed Gu Zijian by the hair and slammed his head against the glass door.
As the glass shattered in a spiderweb pattern, blood gushed from the back of Gu Zijian's head, and he lost consciousness.
Shi Nianzhi tossed Gu Zijian aside like a rag, calling him "trash."
The next second, Shi Nianzhi was punched hard in the face. After the numbness subsided, a burning pain spread across the corner of her lips.
Shi Nianzhi gently wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with her thumb. "You hit me. What, you feel sorry for me hitting this trash? When he wanted to send me to those dark places and torture me, would you feel sorry for me then?"
Lu Jiunian squatted down and, with a cold expression, picked up the unconscious Gu Zijian.
"You just stand here and behave yourself. Nobody's going to send you to any so-called black zone."
Shi Nianzhi laughed angrily, "Do you think you'll only find out the true face of the person in your arms after I'm sent there and I die? You've never doubted Zijian, but is the one in your arms really still Zijian?"
This was the first time Shi Nianzhi had spoken so frankly to Lu Jiunian.
Lu Jiunian countered, "If he isn't, then who is? Your identity is suspicious, and you've changed a lot. It's possible that someone taught you something behind the scenes. If we investigate further, it's very likely that you were intentionally sent to my side from the very beginning. It's Lu Bing. He taught you all this, or perhaps he was the one manipulating you from the start."
Shi Nianzhi was truly impressed by Lu Jiunian's intelligence. "You'd rather believe the one in your arms than believe me?"
“My Zijian will never become like you, he never will. If you were Zijian, why didn’t you come to me from the beginning? Why did you let the imposter swagger around in front of you? You are not him at all. He wouldn’t be as cowardly as you, much less as crazy as you. You should really take a good look in the mirror and see how you look now. You look just like a mental patient with paranoia.”
Lu Jiunian held Gu Zijian in his arms and gently placed him on the hospital bed. Then he held Gu Zijian's hand and said, "He just has amnesia. When he wakes up, I will be married and still entangled with you. I made Zijian so anxious and insecure that he changed. As long as I treat him well, when he remembers the part of his memory that he lost, my Zijian will come back."
Looking at Lu Jiunian's affectionate expression, Shi Nianzhi punched the door, shattering the spiderweb-like glass.
Lu Jiunian turned around and looked at Shi Nianzhi's hands covered in blood, a look of pity flashing in his eyes.
But in the end, looking at Gu Zijian on the hospital bed, he pressed the emergency call button.
The doctor rushed over and the first person he saw was Shi Nianzhi. "How did you get injured like this? Sit down quickly. The wound needs to be cleaned and disinfected. It will hurt a bit."
"Come here! This is the man. He hit his head and has been unconscious ever since."
Upon hearing Lu Jiunian's words, the doctor quickly walked towards the bed, leaving the nurse behind, "You treat this gentleman's wound."
The nurse reads the words "Nianzhi's wound" as she bandages it.
The police have arrived.
Shi Nianzhi did not struggle at all. He was handcuffed and taken away by the police for intentional assault.
"Lu Jiunian, admit it, you're just afraid to face me, afraid to face our feelings. Just like when you thought I was in a vegetative state, you found a substitute; just like when you fell in love with me, you made up the excuse that I was just a substitute; just like now, you clearly already know the truth in your heart..."
But she stubbornly regarded Gu Zijian, this substitute, as the real one.
Lu Jiunian's joints tightened repeatedly, and the veins in his arms bulged, but he stubbornly refused to turn around, pretending as if he hadn't heard Shi Nianzhi's words.
Shi Nianzhi looked at Lu Jiunian's back and said, "You can hurt me without restraint, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the deep affection I once gave you will never be given to you again."
Shi Nianzhi followed behind the police, her figure tall but somewhat slender.
As I got into the police car, I kept thinking about it.
Lu Jiunian is truly a person who won't shed tears until he sees the coffin.
His continued obsession with Gu Zijian is a kind of alternative kind of anxiety and insecurity. In this relationship, neither of them has had an easy time.
Just because she's having a hard time, does that mean she should hurt him? Is she taking advantage of his love to act recklessly?
Lu Jiunian never considered that perhaps he really would never forgive him again, no matter how much he loved him.
Gu Zijian underwent a check-up and was found to have only fainted; he was otherwise unharmed.
He is still not awake.
Lu Jiunian paced back and forth by the hospital bed, and finally he called his assistant, "Go and withdraw the case."
"Is it Shi Shao's case?"
“Yes, you go yourself. Also, find out where Lu Bing is, and bring him to me by kidnapping.”
The assistant nodded. "Okay."
Lu Jiunian held his phone, his gaze drifting to Gu Zijian on the hospital bed, his mind filled with Shi Nianzhi's words.
His eyes were dark and unfathomable. He couldn't completely trust what Shi Nianzhi said; perhaps the naive Shi Nianzhi had been manipulated by Lu Bing.
Regardless, let's get Lu Bing to talk first.
The assistant called back.
Lu Jiunian answered immediately, "The person has been released?"
The assistant said in a somewhat serious tone, "He's already been bailed out."
Lu Jiunian instantly understood, "The Su family?"
"No, it was... the Gu family who took him away."
Lu Jiunian frowned slightly, "The person Zijian recommended?"
The assistant said somewhat awkwardly, "No, it's Gu Dongxuan."
Lu Jiunian's face instantly darkened. Why did Gu Dongxuan step in to protect Shi Nianzhi? The person Shi Nianzhi injured was clearly Gu Zijian, yet Gu Dongxuan sided with Shi Nianzhi.
Lu Jiunian felt dizzy and disoriented.
