Never Abandoned You
Translator: _Min_ |
Upon seeing Su Ci, Father Su was utterly shocked, disbelievingly saying, “How are you here? You’re supposed to be…”
Su Ci spoke calmly, “I should be locked in a small room, right?”
Seeing the room’s occupants, Gu Dai and Su Ting, Father Su angrily accused, “Have you been making a fool out of me all this time?”
After taking a deep breath, he turned to Su Ci with a cold query, “How did you get out? The video clearly showed you being captured. How did you escape?”
Su Ci turned to Su Ting and softly thanked him, “Thank you, Su Ting.”
Su Ting chuckled and shook his head, “It’s what I should do.”
Gu Dai, observing this interaction, was somewhat puzzled and turned to Su Ting to ask, “What happened here?”
Su Ting explained, “I was uneasy leaving the island and had heard about several suspicious figures in black. I suspected they might be after my brother, so I had my men protect him.”
Gu Dai nodded in understanding upon hearing this, “I see.”
Su Ci added, “Thankfully, Su Ting’s men rescued me, or I might have…”
The image of various torture devices in the small room flashed through his mind, darkening his expression further. It was clear Father Su intended for him not to leave the secret room alive.
Su Ci, looking coldly at Father Su, challenged, “Now that I’ve been rescued, what other methods do you have to threaten others?”
Father Su was trembling all over, murmuring to himself in disbelief, “Why? Why has everything turned out this way?”
His eyes reddened with fury as he screamed at Gu Dai, “I planned for so many years, and I was so close to killing the entire Gu family. Why did you have to interfere? The Gu family is the worst of all. Why won’t you just die?”
Gu Dai, taken aback, looked at Father Su in astonishment. She hadn’t realized he harbored such deep hatred toward the Gu family…
Suddenly, Father Su grabbed the dagger and yanked it towards his neck.
Su Ting immediately noticed Father Sur’s action and swiftly took the dagger from his hand, pressing down on his shoulder to prevent any rash movements.
Father Su’s face turned red as he yelled, “Kill me! The Gu family abandoned me. Why haven’t they faced retribution? If I can’t have my revenge, then I don’t want to live! Do you hear me?”
As Father Su struggled violently, Su Ting’s gaze darkened, and he firmly pinned him to the ground, coldly saying, “Be quiet. Daidai has something to say.”
Gu Dai, looking at the raging Father Su, calmly stated, “Have you ever considered that you might not have been abandoned after all?”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but Father Su miraculously calmed down upon hearing it, though only for a moment before angrily denying, “I don’t believe it. I know you’re making this up. I won’t believe it!”
Despite his words, his eyes were red, and his gaze was filled with sadness.
At that moment, the door opened, and Gu Zhe, pushing Xu Huan in a wheelchair, entered the study.
Father Su’s pupils constricted, and then he sneered at Xu Huan, “So you’ve finally shown up.”
Xu Huan’s expression was complex as she looked at Father Su pinned to the ground, tears rolling down her face.
Seeing her tears, Father Su’s sneer deepened, “So you had Gu Dai catch me first, and then you show up, pretending to be righteous? How hypocritical. Who are you putting on this act for?”
Gu Dai’s gaze on Father Su was icy, “Watch your tone…”
Xu Huan sighed softly, gently patting Gu Dai’s arm, “Daidai, it’s okay.”
Father Su scoffed, “Do you think I’ll be moved by your protective act? Since you chose Gu Zhe over me and abandoned me, we’ve had no mother-son relationship. I wouldn’t accept you even if given another chance. If I could do it over, I’d still go against the Gu family, and I wouldn’t let you catch me again!”
Tears glistened in Xu Huan’s eyes, “You misunderstood. I never abandoned you!”
Stopped in his tracks, Father Su looked up at Xu Huan, “You say you didn’t abandon me?”
Xu Huan nodded firmly, “Yes, I never abandoned you..”
