Chapter 293: Dad, You Suck
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Zhiyuan looked at Gu Ci’s fragile gaze. She was indeed a very complex girl.
She was incredibly intelligent, strong, yet also incredibly fragile.
She had the pride of a cold plum and the vulnerability of a weeping willow.
“Yes, he’s not coming back!” Lu Zhiyuan decisively shattered her hopes. “I am Lu Zhiyuan, but 1 am not him. I hope you understand this. 1 don’t like to be pursued relentlessly. I am the owner of Black Hawk, and you are the new owner of the Triad. We are bound to clash sooner or later, and one day it’ll be a matter of life and death. May the best one win!”
Gu Ci laughed again, tears streaming down her face. She seemed like a broken pot, no longer caring if Lu Zhiyuan saw her at her worst. She lazily leaned back on the sofa.
“You want to leave?” Gu Ci laughed with a trembling voice. “Have I agreed?”
Lu Zhiyuan sneered, “What, do you have the power to keep me here?”
As he started to go upstairs, Gu Ci remained seated, holding a cup of tea. She wiped away her tears with a wet tissue and gently savored the fragrance of the tea, as if watching a play.
Lu Zhiyuan had just reached the middle of the staircase when suddenly his legs gave way, and everything went black before him. He lost consciousness right there on the stairs.
Gu Ci looked at Lu Zhiyuan lying on the ground, her body leaning forward as she blew on the tea foam and chuckled, “Third Master, it seems I can indeed keep you here!”
Setting down her teacup, she had a sudden intuition and looked up to the first floor, where she saw Gu Ziyu standing at the railing, staring in shock at the scene.
In Gu Ziyu’s mind, a string of expletives flashed by. He had gone to call his dad to reason with his mom, but it seemed like his mom had driven his dad insane instead. How did Dad manage to mess things up so badly?
“Dad, you really suck. What did you say to her?”
“Ziyu, didn’t you go to the library to study?” Gu Ci remained composed.
“I wanted to come back early to have dinner with Mom,” Gu Ziyu replied calmly. “Mom, can I help you move Dad to a dark room?”
“No need. Just go back to your studies.”
“Alright!” Gu Ziyu mentally lit a candle for Lu Zhiyuan. Dad, may you rest in peace!
After returning to his study, Gu Ziyu sighed. What should he do? His mom’s madness was getting worse, and it was a good thing his dad was diverting her attention this lifetime.
Would mom torture dad?
Gu Ziyu rubbed his chin, “She’s crazy enough to torture me, so if she doesn’t torture dad, does it mean she’s really biased? It doesn’t make sense! I’m so young, and she can still go after me!”
“Don’t think about it, don’t think about it…” Gu Ziyu felt like he was going a bit crazy himself, even getting jealous. He needed to find a way to cure his mom; her illness was the priority.
Dr. North wasn’t in the country, so he needed to find a local psychologist.
Gu Ziyu called Li Jiang, “Why didn’t you come to my house with dad today?”
Li Jiang replied, “I was busy coordinating with Rong Li. It’s a busy season, and Third Master didn’t ask me to come with him. He said he was just coming to see Miss Gu for something.”
“He might not be able to leave now!”
“What do you mean?” Li Jiang asked in confusion. Li Jiang hung up suddenly, and when Gu Ziyu tried calling again, it was busy. Half an hour later, Li Jiang appeared at the Blue Fields Villa, his forehead covered in sweat. “Young Master, where’s Third Master?”
This matter couldn’t be hidden from Li Jiang, as he knew about Lu Zhiyuan’s whereabouts.
“You hung up on me?”
“I was in a hurry,” Li Jiang said, panic evident on his face. “What did Miss Gu do to Third Master?”
Gu Ziyu’s face darkened, resembling Third Master.
Li Jiang hastily asked, “Young Master, stop keeping me in suspense. I can’t get through to Third Master on the phone. Even if he wanted to stay at the villa, he would have personally informed me.”
“I informed you, didn’t I?”
“Young Master, Third Master is Third Master, and you are you. Please tell me quickly, what happened to Third Master?”
“He’s planning to stay at our house for a while. You guys don’t need to come; after all, he needs time to recover.”
Li Jiang realized something, his eyes widening in disbelief as he asked, “Did Miss Gu… imprison Third Master?”
“Keep your voice down!”
“My goodness, this is unacceptable!” Li Jiang attempted to rush inside but was stopped by Gu Ziyu. “My mom won’t kill him. What are you afraid of?”
“Who knows? Didn’t she send people to assassinate him three times?” Li Jiang blurted out, remembering that before Lu Zhiyuan came to see Gu Ci, he had informed Li Jiang that Gu Ci was the new Triad leader.
Li Jiang’s worldview was being completely shattered!
Gu Ziyu thought to himself, “If Li Jiang knew that I had also tried to assassinate Dad, would he be even more shocked?”
“Three assassination attempts, and none of them succeeded!”
“So now she’s just imprisoning him?” Li Jiang grabbed his phone, ready to make a call. “This is absolutely unacceptable. I can’t let Third Master be imprisoned, no matter who is doing it!”
Li Jiang’s expression was extremely grave as he said, “A lord must protect his vassal, Young Master. I can’t stand by and watch Third Master being tortured. It’s my duty to ensure his safety!”
“Wait!” Gu Ziyu knew Li Jiang’s character well, which is why he made this call. “Wait until Dad wakes up, and I’ll have him call you, okay?”
“Wakes up? What do you mean?” Li Jiang’s voice was raised. “Did Miss Gu knock him out too? He’s still recovering from a serious injury.”
Gu Ziyu sighed, feeling a headache coming on. “Anyway, just wait for the news, okay?”
Li Jiang hesitated.
Gu Ziyu became impatient. “I’m his biological son. Do you think I would harm him?”
“I can never be sure!”
Gu Ziyu glared at him, and Li Jiang checked his watch. “Hurry up. I need to hear it from Third Master himself!”
“Wait!”
Li Jiang anxiously waited by the door, feeling terrible. If it were anyone else imprisoning Third Master, he would have already stormed in. He couldn’t let Third Master be captured, no matter what.
But in this case, it was Miss Gu and Gu Ziyu. His lover and his own son!
“This is crazy!” Li Jiang didn’t dare to leave even for a moment, afraid that something might happen. What if Miss Gu, in her madness, really intended to harm someone? Li Jiang remembered a horror movie he had watched once.
In that movie, there was a couple deeply in love. The man became unfaithful and fell for another woman. Unable to bear it, the woman killed him, turned him into a specimen, combed his hair, and placed him in the sun every day. They watched TV together, ate meals together, and slept in the same bed, embracing each other.
“Oh my god, it’s too scary…” Li Jiang shivered and turned pale, his mind filled with goosebumps as he recalled that horror movie. “It can’t be, it can’t be…”
Heaven, the female lead in the movie was as beautiful as Miss Gu, and she was also a doctor!
It was too horrifying!
When Lu Zhiyuan woke up, the sun was setting, and it was evening.
He was locked in a dark room, his hands and feet were bound with chains, and he was secured to the wall. The dark room had no light except for a candle on a candlestick by the door.
Lu Zhiyuan stared at the chains, a storm brewing in his eyes. Apart from being locked up, he felt utterly weak, with no strength left in his body. Lu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, attempting to teleport, but he couldn’t. He was still recovering from his severe injuries, and he couldn’t teleport in this condition. Furthermore, the prison was specially designed to prevent escape..
