Chapter 12
Too Cruel!
The boatman, Song Sheng, stepped forward and quickly reached Gu Jinrong, gripping his arm.
Gu Jinrong tried to resist, but his arm felt as if it was trapped in a vice, rendering him immobile.
A powerful aura overwhelmed him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Gu Jinrong was shocked.
The ordinary-looking boatman was actually a hidden expert!
He couldn’t defeat the other party at all.
Moreover, the ship was filled with the other party’s people. If they engaged in a fight, he had no chance of winning.
Understanding his predicament, Gu Jinrong quickly changed his statement. “Young Lady, please calm down. I will do it! I will sew my sister’s mouth shut and break her hand.”
As long as he could appease this woman’s anger, he could protect both of their lives. Gu Jinyue wouldn’t blame him for making a small sacrifice.
Song Sheng looked at Gu Qingluan with a questioning gaze.
Gu Qingluan smiled and nodded in response. Song Sheng let go and took two steps back.
Gu Jinrong squatted down and extended his trembling hand.
“Yue ‘er, don’t worry. Brother will surely seek revenge for you in the future!” he silently vowed.
Gu Jinyue, still unconscious, remained oblivious to the impending torment.
Kacha!
A sharp sound echoed through the air.
“Ah!”
Gu Jinyue jolted awake, awakened by the searing pain.
“Yue ‘er, endure it,” Gu Jinrong consoled her, his heart aching.
“Brother, my hand…” Gu Jinyue gazed at her injured right hand. “It hurts! Who broke my hand?”
Gu Jinrong’s eyes flickered with mixed emotions. “Yue ‘er, endure it. Brother will find the best doctor to treat your hand.”
He firmly grasped Gu Jinyue’s other hand.
Once again, a crisp sound reverberated.
Gu Jinyue almost fainted from the pain. Shock and pain distorted her face.
“Brother, are you crazy? Why did you break my hands!”
“I’m sorry, Yue ‘er. I did it for your own good.”
How was breaking her hands beneficial for her?!
He had just slapped her twice, and now he had crippled her hands. This brother of hers had become a complete stranger.
In the past, her brother had never treated her like this. It must be because of that damn woman!
Gu Jin Yue glared at Gu Qingluan with gritted teeth. “You witch, did you threaten my brother?”
Gu Jinrong immediately covered her mouth. “Yue ‘er, be quiet!”
Otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain!
“Wuwuwu!” Gu Jinyue didn’t cooperate. She shook her head, trying to shake him off.
Gu Jinrong held onto her while gently speaking to Gu Qingluan, “Miss, Yue ‘er’s hand is already crippled. She can no longer harm your disciple. Can we forget about sewing her mouth shut?”
“Sure!” Gu Qingluan smiled faintly.
Gu Jinrong felt delighted upon hearing that and was about to compliment her.
But Gu Qingluan added calmly, “Your sister’s pain will be in vain.”
Gu Jinrong’s smile froze. He forced a smile. “We don’t have any needles here…”
“I have! I have!” A childish voice chimed in.
Gu Xiaonan giggled as he pulled out a needle and thread from his pocket.
Who would carry a needle and thread with them? Wasn’t he afraid of accidentally pricking himself? Gu Jinrong cursed silently in his mind.
Gu Xiaonan asked Xiaomei to pass the needle and thread to Gu Jinrong.
Gu Jinrong hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
“I don’t like to force others. If Young Master Gu is unwilling, you can give up,” Gu Qingluan calmly stated.
After multiple confrontations, Gu Jinrong was no longer naive enough to believe that the other party would spare them.
His expression changed slightly as he forced a smile. “You’re not forcing me. It is indeed necessary to teach my sister a lesson so that she won’t act impulsively in the future… Hiss!”
Suddenly, Gu Jinrong felt a sharp pain in his hand.
Instinctively, he pulled his hand back.
Gu Jinyue, filled with urgency and anger, exclaimed, “Gu Jinrong, if you dare lay a hand on me, I will definitely tell our parents!”
Glancing at the bite mark on the palm of his hand, Gu Jinrong’s face turned grim. “If our parents were here, I believe they would support my decision.”
With that, he took the needle and thread from Xiaomei’s hand. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He had made up his mind to sew her mouth shut!
Gu Jinyue was filled with overwhelming fear.
Just the thought of the needle piercing her skin made her scalp numb, let alone the fact that it wasn’t just a needle or two, but sewing her mouth shut!
The pain was one thing, but if it left her disfigured, how would she face others in the future?
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her face was covered in snot and tears. “Brother, no, I beg you! Don’t…”
“Yue ‘er, don’t be afraid. Endure it, and it will be over.”
Gu Jinrong’s heart ached, but he had no choice. If he didn’t do as that woman said, both of them would die.
With a heart filled with ruthlessness, he pressed Gu Jinyue’s acupuncture point and pierced the needle into her lips.
A tragic cry echoed over the surface of the sea. The pirates, who lived on the edge of the blade, felt their scalps go numb. It was too brutal! It was beyond brutal!
Fortunately, they surrendered early!
“Miss, I have sewed my sister’s mouth shut as per your instructions. Are you satisfied?”
Gu Jinrong looked at Gu Qingluan with a pale face.
Gu Qingluan crossed her legs and clapped slowly. “I’m quite satisfied.”
At that moment, Gu Jinyue fainted from the excruciating pain. Her lips were sewn together, and her face was drenched in blood. Her lips were swollen and crimson.
Who would dare to gaze upon such a sight?
Not only did Gu Qingluan gaze upon it, but her expression remained unchanged. She even smiled.
Those who failed to comprehend her felt an icy chill in their hearts. They secretly acknowledged that this woman was not to be underestimated.
Little did they know, her abdomen had been sliced open, and her unborn child had been forcefully taken away.
Compared to her suffering, what Gu Jinyue was currently experiencing seemed insignificant.
Although Gu Jinyue wasn’t the one who had opened her stomach and taken her child in the past, she had played a part in the original owner’s mistreatment before she was expelled from the Gu family.
And this was just the beginning!
Gu Jinrong let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, a strong gust of wind blew from the sea, lifting the veil on Gu Qingluan’s face.
In an instant, Gu Jinrong’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
“You… Why is it you?”
