Chapter 501 - : Revenge
Chapter 501: Revenge
It was pitch black in the wilderness.
The grassland was dense, and insects were chirping.
Half an hour later.
A black van drove over. The headlights illuminated the road ahead and also illuminated Gu Yunqing, who had collapsed on the ground and was numb from the pain.
Her dress had been stained with blood and mud. She collapsed on the ground, trembling.
Gu Ren jumped down from the car. When everyone shouted, “The Eldest Young Lady is there!” he clenched his jaw and strode over with a cold face.
“Dad, Dad…”
Gu Yunqing, who had collapsed in a pile of dirt, opened her eyes in a daze when she heard the voice. When she saw Gu Ren, tears rolled down her face. “Save me, quickly, send me to the hospital.”
Gu Ren scanned her from head to toe before his gaze finally landed on her bloody hand.
The four fingers on her hand had all been severed and blood was flowing out from the wounds.
Gu Ren’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly checked her. Only after he realized that the severed fingers were right beside her did he heave a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said, “It hasn’t been more than six hours since the fingers were severed. They can be reattached. Quick, carry her to the car!”
The people he brought along helped Gu Yunqing into the car and placed her severed fingers into an ice bag. Then, the car started moving towards the hospital.
On the way, Gu Yunqing said angrily, “Dad, I’m not going to the hospital. I’m going to the police station. I’m going to sue him!”
Gu Ren looked ahead. “Sue who? Do you think you can offend that person?”
Gu Yunqing was stunned. “Isn’t he just an ordinary instructor? He came to me to vent his anger about his girlfriend! Dad, I’m going to sue him and make him pay!”
“Shut up!” Gu Ren said slowly, “If you want to sue him, you’ll have to abandon our family’s company! I’m telling you, you’d better shut up about this matter. We’ll definitely suffer in silence!”
For someone like General Xiang to leave her severed fingers behind was already him giving her a lot of face. If he had taken them away, Gu Ren wouldn’t even dare to ask for them!
He stared at Gu Yunqing. “What did you do to offend him? Tell me now!”
The Xiang family never took advantage of their power to bully others. Everyone in the capital knew that their family was the most reasonable family, and sometimes, for the sake of the big picture, they could endure.
They were famous for being generous.
And General Xiang was even more mysterious. Very few people knew his name, and he only found out about it by chance. Even so, no one knew what position he held, but he never bullied others.
The Qian family and the Gu family had connections.
Of course, the Gu family had done some research on the Qian family’s background. They had even competed with the Qian family over business before. After learning that the Qian family’s backer was Xiang Huai, Gu Ren had been worried for a period of time, afraid that General Xiang would come looking for him. In the end, he realized that the Qian family was completely law-abiding in their business and never bullied others.
From then on, he knew that General Xiang was impartial and upright.
For such a humble person who cared about the world to argue with Gu Yunqing, Gu Yunqing must have done something wrong and crossed General Xiang’s bottom line!
He stared at Gu Yunqing. Although his daughter had gotten to know some strange people and made a lot of contributions to the family ever since she went to university, if she offended General Xiang, he would have to abandon what he must.
Gu Yunqing’s eyes flashed. Seeing Gu Ren’s stern expression, she knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. She bit her lip hard, feeling the excruciating pain from her fingers, and closed her eyes. “I just had a little argument with his girlfriend.”
She did not dare to say that she had let Jin Peng hurt Xue Xi on purpose. Otherwise, the consequences would be too terrifying, knowing what she knew of Gu Lili’s fate.
Gu Ren frowned. “Really?”
Gu Yunqing nodded. “Yes.”
Gu Ren stared at her. He didn’t know if he believed her or not, but he ordered Gu Yunqing, “Don’t mess around at school! Since General Xiang’s girlfriend is there, you must suck up to her, understand?”
Gu Yunqing was in so much pain that she couldn’t even speak properly. She nodded. “Okay, I understand. Dad, who exactly is that man?”
Gu Ren frowned. “You don’t need to know! You don’t have the right to know either!”
Gu Yunqing bit her lip.
Soon, they arrived at a private clinic.
Gu Yunqing was stunned. “Dad, don’t we need to go to a proper big hospital? Can they do this kind of surgery in a private clinic?”
Gu Ren immediately said, “If you go to a big hospital, you’ll leave behind evidence. It won’t be good if it gets sent to General Xiang because it’d be as if we want to do something. Just have them suture your fingers here. I spent a lot of money on you and found the best surgeon to do the procedure. Don’t worry!”
He waved his hand dismissively. “You guys, help Missy in.”
Gu Yunqing was supported by someone and entered the private hospital. There were already people waiting for her inside. As her wounds were being cleaned, she heard someone rushing over from outside. “The anesthesiologist has something urgent to attend to and can’t rush over. What do we do?”
Gu Ren’s voice did not contain even a hint of heartache. “Then there’s no need for anesthesia. Just suture her directly. Get someone to hold her hand down so she doesn’t move.”
The doctor lowered his voice. “But if she’s in too much pain, her fingers will be in a state of constant tension. A large part of her body might not be able to recover after the suture.”
Gu Ren said perfunctorily, “It doesn’t look like she’ll be crippled. It’s fine as long as she doesn’t end the Gu family! Her fingers don’t have to be nimble, it’s better if they’re stiff. This way, if she were to bump into that person in the future, he wouldn’t be angry over what happened today.”
“…”
Gu Yunqing’s heart sank when she heard these words.
She had known since she was young that there was no kinship in the Gu family. Everything depended on strength. However, when she was truly injured and lying in a desolate place, she was really afraid. She really needed her father to give her a hug when he saw her.
But now…
Her ten fingers were connected to her heart. When the needles were inserted into her fingers, pain that was sharper than when he severed her fingers assaulted her entire body. Gu Yunqing tensed her body and tried hard to recall the man today.
After introducing his name to her father, the man had hung up and got out of the car.
She hurriedly pushed open the car door and stumbled as she tried to run away. However, she suddenly tripped over a vine and fell down. In just a short while, she turned around and saw the man casually wave his hand. A flash of silver light flashed in front of her eyes, and it was like a bolt of lightning struck her!
She felt a warm liquid at her fingertips, followed by sharp pain… Her fingers were severed just like that.
The pain made her dizzy and she felt more awake than ever.
From the beginning to the end, that man did not touch her at all.
So how did he cut off her fingers?
What weapon did he use?
Dagger?
