Chapter 91 Distorted Human Nature
After Gu Ye said that, Wang Jiao felt a chill between her brows. When she opened her eyes again, the world had changed.
There were all kinds of ‘people’ floating in the cemetery under the night sky. This terrifying scene frightened Wang Jiao so much that her eyes widened and she was speechless. At this moment, a painful gr00an was heard from the tombstone. This sound seemed to be squeezed out of the throat. The sound of the vocal cords trembling, and it was impossible to hear it clearly without listening carefully.
Wang Jiao’s pupils shrank, and she stared at the little wooden figure in a daze. Seeing what she did to the figure, she suddenly hugged her head and said in horror, “No, it’s not me, it’s not me, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t, I… Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Her sharp screams could be heard throughout the whole cemetery. Wang Jiao used her hands and feet to crawl away, trying to get away from the little wooden figure. She trembled all over and didn’t dare to look back at her father. She cried and shouted, “Don’t show me! I don’t want to see! Don’t want to see!”
A step after another, Gu Ye coldly approached nearer with the little figure in his hand. “Even if you can’t see it, you know that this is to suppress the soul. You should be able to imagine how this soul is suppressed! Wang Jiao, you used this method to repay your father’s 20 years of raising you. If we didn’t find this wooden figure today, he will never be reborn, and forever be trapped in this little piece of wood, suffering this kind of punishment in eternity.”
“AHHHHHHHH!!!”
Wang Jiao screamed and yelled in despair. She started grabbing things on the ground and throwing them at Gu Ye like crazy. The police who just arrived ran over and restrained Wang Jiao. They found that her right hand was broken and the skin on her left hand was worn out, covered in mud and blood. They asked Gu Ye, “What happened? Did you do this?”
Gu Ye’s eyes were still cold. Pointing at Xie Cheng who was leaning against the tombstone next to him, he said arrogantly, “She wield a knife with the intention to kill and injured my friend’s arm. I only got one of her hands, which was already a bargain for her. If you want me to bear legal responsibility, it’s alright. I will call my lawyer now.”
Standing behind the team leader was a young police officer who had been following Mu Jingfei. Seeing that Gu Ye was upset, he smiled and tried to smoothen the tension, “The situation is not that bad and we will investigate the scene. If what you said is true, then you are acting in self-defense. Let’s send your friend to the hospital first.”
At this moment, Mu Jingfe arrived on her motorcycle, “Sorry, I went to a meeting and just came back.” Wang Jiao had been taken to the police car so Mu Jingfei took a look. Then she came back to tell Gu Ye in a low voice, “You were sure cruel, huh?”
Gu Ye helped Xie up Cheng, sneered, “She is even more cruel to her father.”
The ambulance has arrived at the gate of the cemetery. Gu Ye took Xie Cheng to the ambulance and also brought the little wooden figure with him. The doctor checked Xie Cheng’s wound and said in surprise, “The wound is no longer bleeding. It’s amazing. What kind of blood do you have?”
Xie Cheng said embarrassedly, “It’s either A or B.”
While the doctor was talking to Xie Cheng, Gu Ye had finished pulling out the steel nails that he had been doing on the way to the hospital. Mr. Wang’s soul floated out of the little figure, with bloodied holes all over his body. Now his eyes, ears, and mouth are still injured and completely unable to communicate. Gu Ye hurriedly put the soul into a bottle, planning to nourish it first.
Xie Cheng also saw Mr. Wang’s miserable condition and looked at Gu Ye inquiringly. Gu Ye shook his head. This time they couldn’t help to give more information to the case and could only rely on Mu Jingfei’s side. It was already a blessing to be able to save Mr. Wang’s soul.
Xie Cheng grinned at Gu Ye and comforted him, “It’s okay. Nine out of ten things are imperfect. Do your best and leave it to fate. Just be clear in your conscience.”
Gu Ye smiled and nodded. Xie Cheng may not have learned all of Elder Tang’s skills, but he fully learned to be as open-minded as Elder Tang.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor re-examined Xie Cheng. Six stitches were sewn on his arm. Fortunately, the tendons and bones were fine, but he had to rest for at least half a month and couldn’t walk freely before the stitches were removed.
What Xie Cheng couldn’t stand the most was being locked up. He pulled Gu Ye’s clothes with a grievance, “I was wounded for your glory. I don’t care. You have to support my life in the future!”
Gu Ye said disdainfully, “If you can grow up to be like Yu Ze, I can consider letting you be my second wife.”
Xie Cheng sneered. Just when he was about to scold Gu Ye, he saw the person standing at the door. Xie Cheng immediately showed a gloating expression, “Say it again, what you said I can be?”
At this point, Gu Ye found that something was wrong with Xie Cheng’s gaze. He looked back vigilantly and was scared.
Yu Ze and Xie Cheng’s second senior brother, Jiang Xu, were both standing at the door of the ward, looking at them expressionlessly.
Gu Ye’s heart skipped a beat and he walked over with a smile. Holding Yu Ze’s hand and shaking it, Gu Ye asked, “Honey, why are you here?”
But Yu Ze only looked at Gu Ye with a dark face. Next, he walked around Gu Ye and asked Xie Cheng, “Are you okay?”
Gu Ye was dumbfounded. Yu Ze ignored him?!
At the side, Jiang Xu read the doctor’s diagnosis record and confirmed that Xie Cheng was really fine. Relieved, he said to Gu Ye, “Don’t you have things to deal with tomorrow? You should go back and rest with Mr. Yu, I’ll stay here tonight.”
Indeed, the matter on Gu Ye’s hand was still not resolved but Xie Cheng was injured because of him. If he leaves now, his conscience doesn’t feel right.
Jiang Xu said seriously, “Come again tomorrow and buy him more food, he will be full of energy tomorrow.”
Gu Ye hesitated for a moment, “Then, I’ll come tomorrow morning.”
Hearing that, Xie Cheng said helplessly, “Do you guys really need to be on care duty for this little injury? It’s really nothing, like 2 stitches. Just give me a painkiller, you all can go.”
Jiang Xu’s face turned cold when he looked at Xie Cheng, “Stay still and shut up.”
“Okay!” Xie Cheng immediately admitted his weakness and lay down obediently. Then he gave Gu Ye a look: Scram!
Driven out of the room, Gu Ye held onto Yu Ze’s clothes and observed Yu Ze’s face, which was frighteningly cold. Then, Gu Ye asked tentatively, “Are you really ignoring me? What about the love you said you would give me?”
Yu Ze simply stuffed Gu Ye into the car with a cold face, still not speaking.
Gu Ye couldn’t help wanting to laugh, “Are you really angry? I was just joking with him, how can you take it seriously? Okay, I was wrong! I admit it! Don’t be angry, I’m sorry.”
Maintaining a cold face, Yu Ze was not in a hurry to start the car. He looked at Gu Ye’s eyes with deep eyes, “What did you do wrong?”
Gu Ye felt uncomfortable being looked at and didn’t dare to be naughty. He said sincerely, “I shouldn’t talk nonsense.”
Yu Ze frowned, still unhappy.
Gu Ye held Yu Ze’s face helplessly, “Why are you angry? How can I know if you don’t say it?”
Yu Ze had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth to say, “You only look at my face?”
Finally understood the reason, Gu Ye almost laughed out loud. But he asked seriously, “Do I look like I’m the kind of face dog (face-con1)?”
Yu Ze’s eyes answered the question directly: You are!
“Okay, I admit, I am a face-con!” Gu Ye domineeringly announced his character as a face-con and asked righteously, “But so what? You are the most handsome person in my heart! Even if you are old, your hair is white, your teeth are gone, and your face is full of wrinkles, you are still the most handsome person in my heart! If one day you are disfigured, your legs are lame, you are still the most handsome one! I am a face-con, so what…”
Before Gu Ye finished speaking, he was pressed on the seat by Yu Ze, and a passionate kiss blocked the next words. At the same time, his seat was adjusted to lay flat. Gu Ye had nowhere to hide, so he simply hugged Yu Ze’s neck and accepted the kiss frankly.
This kiss made both of them feel it inside. Gu Ye held Yu Ze’s face with one hand, pursed his lips, and said with a red face, “Don’t be angry.”
The rare meekness made Yu Ze want to kiss Gu Ye again but Gu Ye quickly raised his hand to block him, “Stop it, we are in the car.”
Yu Ze grabbed Gu Ye’s hand to express his unsatisfied desire. At this moment, the phone in Gu Ye’s pocket rang with the ringtone, “Son! Answer the phone! Son! Answer Mom’s call! Son! Are you going to answer the phone or not?!”
Gu Ye embarrassedly explained, “My mom.”
Hearing that, Yu Ze had to let go of Gu Ye. He turned his head and looked out the window to calm himself down.
As soon as the phone was answered, Mrs. Gu asked in dissatisfaction, “Where are you? Why don’t you go home?”
Gu Ye apologized, “I’m sorry. During these 2 days, I may be…”
“Don’t say may be, may not, mayhaps to me. Who are you with now?”
Gu Ye was frightened by his stepmother’s temper, “I’m with Yu Ze. Mom, who made you angry?”
“Who else? You must come back tonight!”
Gu Ye coaxed, “It depends on the situation. Calm down first.”
Mrs. Gu said irritably, “If you don’t come back, I’ll break your dog-legs2!”
The expression made Gu Ye laughed. This means she is really angry. Gu Ye replied, “Mom, you just said that your son is a dog, you… hehe.”
Mrs. Gu paused, and said angrily, “… Come back and take care of your brother! Your father doesn’t care! Your two brothers don’t care! You don’t care! Do you know what kind of dog has your brother become now?”
“Okay, I will definitely go back tomorrow night, don’t be angry. I will break his legs when I go back and make him kowtow to you and apologize!” Gu Ye coaxed his mother with a few more words before hanging up the phone quickly. He said tiredly, “Old Fourth has already become a dog in his mother’s eyes. This silly child must have done something stupid again.”
Yu Ze started the car. After the phone call, both of them calmed down. Seeing that Yu Ze’s expression was not so ugly now, Gu Ye also smiled, “Let’s make an agreement. If you are angry in the future, you must tell me the reason and don’t give the opportunity to cause misunderstandings, okay?”
Yu Ze nodded, “Okay.”
Gu Ye continued to add, “There can be no overnight hatred, and you can’t bring up old scores.”
Yu Ze said seriously, “Okay if there is a problem, we’ll solve it at night of that day.”
Gu Ye’s mouth twitched, “That statement makes me feel a little cold for some reason.”
Hearing that, Yu Ze turned off the air conditioner. Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Turn it back on! It’s hot!”
The two had dinner and went home. As soon as they entered the house, Gu Ye went to the less frequent place upstairs. Yu Ze had not been here much so there was not so much purple aura in the air. Only then Gu Ye dared to take out Mr. Wang’s soul.
The dozen or so bloodied holes on the other party’s body won’t be able to heal in a short time. There was no expression on Mr. Wang’s face, and he looked as if he was dead. After being released, he was too lazy to struggle, and he didn’t care who Gu Ye was.
After Gu Ye stabilized the other party’s soul, he sent the soul back to the bottle and called Mu Jingfei helplessly. He apologized, “I’m sorry, Sister Mu, I didn’t get any clues. Mr. Wang was injured too badly. However, I think even if he wasn’t so seriously injured, he might not want to talk.” Gu Ye paused and said with mixed feelings, “There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.”
Mu Jingfei knew that the world Gu Ye saw was more complicated and more tragic than hers. She quickly comforted him, “It doesn’t matter. We have already gathered most clues. The case will be almost done tonight. Don’t worry, go to sleep well, and I will tell you the result tomorrow morning.”
Gu Ye nodded with a smile, “Sister Mu, there is one more thing I didn’t tell you when I left.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Sister Mu, your relationship star is shifting and you will have a boyfriend soon.”
Mu Jingfei was silent for a while, then sneered, “Ha! Which man is so unlucky? Burn incense for him on my behalf!”
Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “It’s his blessing to meet you. You are so outstanding.”
Being praised by Gu Ye, Mu Jingfei was probably feeling embarrassed and said with disdain, “Alright, I’m hanging up. Go to sleep, I still have to try the case! Bye!”
