Chapter 65: Pitiful Tone

Translator: _Min_

Upon recognizing that Gu Ming had fallen unconscious, Gu Dai, seized by a wave of annoyance, took a wet towel and began the process of removing the bloody smears and fingerprints from the fruit blade. Her frustration mounted with each stroke, and prompted her to slap him a few more times.

Gu Ming had had the audacity to use such underhanded tactics against her in his pursuit of the Gu family’s wealth, callously disregarding the memory of her father and the abundant kindness he’d extended towards Gu Ming during his life.

Internally, Gu Dai questioned her approach. How could she simply allow Gu Ming to slip into unconsciousness while she sought revenge, devoid of any real suffering?

No, it was only right that his torment be doled out in agonizing, incremental steps.

And so, Gu Dai hauled Gu Ming’s unconscious body from the sack, took out a gleaming silver needle, and stimulated a few of his acupuncture points to wake him.

Gradually, Gu Ming clawed his way back to consciousness, his awakening was punctuated by a rasping cough.

However, this sudden movement only served to intensify the throbbing pain throughout his body, jolting him back to full awareness.

He yelped out, “Ah! This is so painful, why is my vision so foggy? I can’t see anything! Am I going to die?”

In answer to Gu Ming’s disoriented inquiries, Gu Dai mentally retorted, of course you can’t see, your entire face is covered by blood, my dear elder uncle!

She cast her gaze downwards, her eyes whirling with emotion. In the very next moment, she loudly exclaimed, “Uncle, you’ve finally awakened. You were so quiet just now, I was terrified that you were gone. I’m going to call the police now and ensure the criminals are caught.”

When Gu Ming heard Gu Dai’s voice, he felt a chilling sensation that seemed to have frozen his veins, momentarily eclipsing his physical torment. He was at a loss to explain why Gu Dai was present.

But upon hearing her intention to call the police, he swiftly regained his senses. Mustering all his remaining strength, he managed to squeak out, “There’s no need for the police, please… please call for an ambulance!”

With those words, Gu Ming once again slipped into unconsciousness, yet this time accompanied by an omnipresent throbbing.

His world spun dizzily, and a sensation akin to being pricked by thousands of tiny nails reverberated throughout his body.

Meanwhile, hours had elapsed, and both Liu Min and Gu Zhi remained in a dreamy state with sleep being the last thing on their minds.

Abruptly, a phone’s shrill ring echoed through the room. It was a call from the hospital.

Upon glancing at the caller ID, Liu Min chuckled softly at Gu Zhi, “1 bet that Gu Dai has been located. But given her lack of other relatives, the call has been redirected to me.”

Gu Zhi nodded in agreement, “Mom, once the doctor rings later, ignore it. Let Gu Dai fend for herself. After all, we’re on the verge of inheriting the Gu family’s wealth. Her wellbeing is irrelevant.”

Gently rapping Gu Zhi’s head with her knuckles, Liu Min responded with a sigh of resignation, “You’re quite the schemer, aren’t you? You’re even giving advice to your mother now. Don’t worry, 1 certainly won’t be going.”

After Liu Min concluded her statement, she picked up the phone and addressed the doctor on the other end, “Apologies, doctor. I’m just Gu Dai’s aunt, and her situation has no relevance to me. It’s late, so I’m heading off to bed.”

Despite being well aware of Liu Min’s moral shortcomings, Gu Dai felt a wave of disappointment at her words. Without affording the doctor a chance to respond, she feigned concern and, with a voice tinged with tears, she told Liu Min on the other side of the phone, “Aunt, it’s not me who’s injured, it’s… it’s my uncle who’s hurt!”

Liu Min shot up in shock, exclaiming in disbelief, “What? Gu Dai, what are you saying? How can your uncle be injured? Which hospital? I’ll be there immediately!”

Hearing the clatter on the other end of the phone, the result of a surprised Liu Min knocking over various items, Gu Dai looked down, a satisfied smirk appeared on her face as her shoulders shook with suppressed laughter.

Her display did not go unnoticed by the medical staff, who all assumed she was sobbing because of extreme grief. After all, they had overheard Liu Min’s dismissive words earlier.

When Liu Min’s arrived at the hospital, she seized Gu Dai in a tight grip, demanding, “Gu Dai, what have you done to your uncle?”

Gu Dai, with eyes reddened from her feigned tears, struggled to remove herself from Liu Min’s grip. In a voice that suggested she was greatly wronged, she said, “Aunt, you’re hurting me.”contemporary romance

Seeing Gu Dai’s distressed state, the sympathetic doctors intervened, prying Liu Min away and sternly reminding her, “This hospital prohibits violence and excessive noise!”

Crouching down, Gu Dai buried her face in her arms and sobbed out, “I’m just as clueless. 1 only witnessed two men assaulting my uncle. They fled upon my arrival. I intended to call the police, but my uncle insisted that I don’t. He merely requested that I call an ambulance..”
