Chapter 97: Mental Hospital
Yan Dong looked pale, his hand becoming so wobbly that he dropped his pen a few times. He couldn't bear to part with Luo Yun, but he also couldn't bear to part with the huge benefits this land could bring.
After receiving the signal, Gu Yi said coldly, "Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan are really very much in love. I remember that you two have a daughter. If you really can't bear to part with your wife, you can send your daughter instead."
Yan Dong shivered and said, "No! This has nothing to do with Yan Qi. Don't hurt my precious daughter!"
Gu Shen urged impatiently, his voice slightly oppressive. "Since you don't want to, then sign it here."
Yan Dong double checked with him, "As long as I sign it, I will have the development rights to that land, am I right?"
"Right."
Yan Dong gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll sign it!" He picked up the pen and swiftly signed his name. It was fine if something happened to Luo Yun, but he wouldn't let her implicate the Yan family and Yan Qi.
Besides, with the revenue from that piece of land, the Yan family would definitely get rich and powerful in no time. When the time came, they could just get Luo Yun out of the hospital.
While he was lost in thought, Gu Yi had already walked up to take the contract away. Gu Shen handed him another document.
Yan Dong was stunned. It was the legal document for him to cut ties with Yan Xi.
Gu Shen looked at him coldly. "Sign it. From now on, you and Yan Xi have nothing to do with each other anymore, and you can't contact each other in private." This document was not much different from the document that the lawyer had drafted for Yan Xi previously."
Yan Dong didn't see anything fishy on the document. He said, "I've already signed the same thing before, why is there another one?"
"Cut the crap!" Gu Yi said, "If you don't sign this document, the development rights document will not be effective."
Yan Dong didn't hesitate this time since Yan Xi was already determined to cut the ties with the family, so there was no point in keeping her.
He signed the document and asked impatiently, "When are we starting the project?"
"No hurry, It will start in two months. You can start to prepare the development funds now."
"Yes, yes." Yan Dong was very happy. It was as if he could see the profits of tens of billions waving at him. He was really going to make a killing this time!
As soon as Yan Dong left, Gu Shen instructed Gu Yi, "Tell the psychiatrists to take special care of Yun Luo, but don't let her die."
"Yes." Gu Yi was a little puzzled. "President, why are we giving out the development rights to that land? Forgive me for being frank, but I don't think Yan Dong and Yan Corporation have the ability to develop downtown projects."
Gu Shen's eyes were gloomy. "I don't need them to have the ability as long as they have money."
*****
"Why did Gu Shen call you today? Say something." The moment Yan Dong reached home, Luo Yan had been nagging him. Her hair was disheveled and her face pale, looking exactly like a mental patient.
Yan Dong was annoyed by her nagging. He pushed her away and said with a frustrated expression, "Enough! We only talked about job related stuff. Gu Shen asked me to leave this matter at that and forget about it."
"What about Yan Xi? Is Yan Xi not getting punished?" Luo Yun suddenly raised her voice, her voice harsh to the ear. "I can't just let her off like that."
She suddenly stood up and was about to walk out. "No, I must teach this bitch a lesson!"
"Who said so?" Yan Dong hastened to grab her and coaxed, "I've already got some people to teach her a lesson. You can go with them too to give Yan Xi some kicks in the face."
Luo Yun wouldn't possibly go to the mental hospital if Yan Dong told her point-blank. He had to come up with some ideas to trick her into going there.
"Okay." When Luo Yun heard that, she smiled foolishly, filled with hatred. "I want Yan Xi to live a life worse than death. If I'm not happy, she can forget about being happy."
Yan Dong continued, "When the time comes, you can wait at the door of Zhou Mountain Mental Hospital. I'll send someone to trick Yan Xi into going there."
Luo Yun was immersed in hatred and did not pay attention to the mental hospital Yan Dong mentioned at all.
She said, "I'll be there."
Chapter 98: You're All I Have
"It's for you." The first thing Gu Shen did when he returned home was to hand Yan Xi the document Yan Dong had signed. He explained, "This is the legal document proving that Yan Dong took the initiative to cut ties with you."
Yan Xi took it and took a closer look. It was similar to the document from before. However, the person who suggested ending the relationship was Yan Dong.
Yan Xi went to the study room to get a pen. After signing the agreement and becoming officially not one of the Yan family, she suddenly felt a strange tightness on her chest.
From then on, she no longer had any family or friends in this world except Gu Shen.
Gu Shen didn't notice her emotion. He only said, "From now on, the Yan family won't harass you anymore. If they come again, you can come and find me."
"Don't worry, Yan Dong is a coward. He won't dare to, but..." Yan Xi leaned closer to Gu Shen and placed her hands on the sides of the wheelchair. She said aggrievedly, "From now on, you're all I have left. You have to treat me better." She felt that treating better was not enough, so she pushed further. "No, treat me as your life."
Feeling the warm breath on his skin, Gu Shen subconscious gulped.
"What exactly should I do?"
"For example, you have to send me a lot of gifts, say 'I love you' to me every day, say 'I miss you' every day, and..." Yan Xi couldn't help but laugh as she spoke. Asking Gu Shen to do these was no different from asking him to stand up on his feet.
Gu Shen looked at her, and his heart melted at the sight of her smile and lively face.
As his gaze landed on her red lips, he had a strong urge to kiss her.
"Anyway, there are a lot of things. I'll just make a list for you later. However..." Yan Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Now you can do one of the things."
Gu Shen came back to his senses and asked, "What is it?"
"Say I love you once."
Gu Shen pursed his lips slightly and avoided her gaze. His eyes darkened. "Now?"
"That's right. Can't you say it?" Yan Xi paused. She suddenly held his face with both hands and said seriously, "I love you."
At that moment, it was as if time had stopped. All Gu Shen could see in this world was the girl in front of him. The cold temperature of her fingertips mingled with his burning face.
Gu Shen opened his mouth and slowly spat out a few words. The words dropped on Yan Xi like a bomb, "I love you."
Yan Xi was stunned. She just wanted to tease him and did not expect Gu Shen to really agree. These few words struck her heart, giving her a mix of emotions all at once.
After a while, she said very seriously, "I love you, too."
The next morning, Luo Yun left the Yan family in a car. She was wearing a high-end dress and her hair was combed. Everything was fine except for her eyes, which were filled with hatred and scheming. They were even worse than poisonous snakes, scaring everyone who looked at them. After arriving at the mental hospital, the driver lowered his head and opened the car door for her.
Just as Luo Yun took a step out, she was dragged down by a bunch of people.
Luo Yun instantly widened her eyes and subconsciously retreated to the car. After an intense tug, Luo Yun was gradually overwhelmed by a sense of fear.
"Who are you?! I'm the madam of the Yan family. Hurry up and let go of me!" Luo Yun shouted. She still did not understand why she was the one being manhandled instead of Yan Xi.
"Why are you still standing there?! Hurry up and help me!" Luo Yun shouted at the driver. Strangely enough, the usually obedient driver did not react. He did not even turn his head.
The woman in the white coat laughed. It was impossible to tell if she was mocking or praising. "The patient is very vigilant this time." She took out a tranquilizer from the medicine box beside her and instructed, "Hold her still."
The men grabbed her tightly to keep her in place. No matter how hard she tried to struggle and shout, she couldn't budge an inch.
"Let go of me!" Luo Yun cried. "I beg you! I can give you money, a lot of money!"
The next second, the tranquilizer was quickly injected into her vein.
Luo Yun started to get dizzy. Her voice became softer and softer, and she vaguely heard some people speaking.
"Bring her to the fourth floor. Master Gu said to take good care of this patient."
"Three shocks per week?"
"Make sure she won't die.."
Chapter 99: Hit-and-Run
Before everyone could realize it, Gu Shen had already started reforming the Gu hotel. At the same time, Gu Electronics was undergoing a drastic shake-up as well. Many of the higher-ups were quietly fired.
Although the commotion Gu Shen caused was huge, outsiders felt like he was just making futile efforts.
Gu Shen did not care about them.
If he wanted to see the light at the end of the channel, he had to endure the doubts and darkness of the channel itself.
However, soon Gu Sheng became the center of attention.
After running into someone and causing death, Gu Sheng drove away. This accident wasn't suppressed in time to stop it from spreading out. Soon the driver's identity was found out and put online, which dealt a heavy blow to the reputation of the Gu Corp.
Gu Shen sat in the office and listened to Gu Yi's report quietly. His gaze landed on the phone screen. It happened to be the news report of Gu Sheng's accident.
"Master, Old Master Gu wants you to make a trip back to the Gu Mansion tonight."
Gu Shen looked up and put down the phone. A trace of coldness flashed past his eyes. "Get some people to keep Gu Sheng on the headline. Also, release some of the things he has done before to add fuel to the fire."
Gu Yi nodded. "Yes."
Gu Hai always had absolute authority in the Gu family. At night, everyone in the Gu family, including the relatives, arrived at the Gu family's mansion on time.
Gu Yi drove the black Maybach into the mansion. Yan Xi got out of the car first, then helped Gu Shen into his wheelchair.
The mansion was brightly lit, and the street lamps on both sides were turned on. The warm yellow light looked very warm from afar, but when the outer layer was peeled off, what was hidden inside was coldness and ruthlessness.
Gu Shen held Yan Xi's hand. "Gu Sheng is going to shift the blame to me. If you come back with me, you won't be treated nicely. Aren't you afraid?"
"What is there to be afraid of? You are with me."
Yan Xi had heard about the accident Gu Sheng caused. To begin with, Gu Shen was not liked by Old Master Gu in the Gu family. If everyone blamed Gu Shen for what happened, Old Master Gu would definitely believe them. At the very least, Yan Xi could help Gu Shen say a few words.
"Stay with me."
He wouldn't let anyone bully his wife.
In the hall, everyone from the Gu family had already gathered around. Old Master Gu sat on the sofa, holding his walking stick without saying a word. As soon as Gu Shen entered, many pairs of gloomy eyes swept over.
Gu Sheng was the first to speak up. He looked at Gu Shen darkly, "My good nephew is finally back. Do you have to make us wait every single time."
"I was delayed by something at the company."
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Gu Sheng stood up and slightly hunched his body. "Gu Shen, the Gu family has treated you well for so many years, right? I'm also your uncle, but in the end, you hurt me like that! Are you planning on getting rid of me so that you can take control of the assets under my name?"
Yan Xi's grip on the wheelchair tightened. What a good "preemptive strike!"
Gu Shen's tone was calm and he did not seem panicked at all. "What are you talking about, Uncle? We're family. Why would I hurt you?"
"If you really treated us as family, you wouldn't have hurt me and the Gu family! Do you know that because of you, the Gu family's profits fell by 30% this time?! How are you going to compensate the Gu family for their losses?!"
Yan Xi glared at him coldly, almost gritting her teeth.
This was the first time she had seen Gu Sheng. His eyebrows were drooping and he looked gloomy. His gaze when he looked at Gu Shen was full of malice.
Ugly people were indeed malicious.
She was about to speak when Old Master Gu cast his gaze on Gu Shen. "No matter what, the Gu family is of paramount importance. It's foolish of you all to fight and quarrel like this."
Gu Shen nodded slightly. "You're right. However, I didn't do what Uncle said. Everything in the Gu family is connected. If Uncle gets affected, my company will, too."
"Cut that crap..."
"Now that the matter has blown up, it's best if Uncle admits having caused the accident. This way, he can still salvage the Gu family's reputation and minimize the Gu family's losses."
Gu Shen cut Gu Sheng off. He looked over with a deep and solemn gaze, like a wolf cub that had finally revealed its original appearance after lying dormant for a long time.
Gu Sheng realized that he was terrified. He pinched his palms and said, "You just can't wait to send me to jail and watch me die. Have you been coveting my company for a long time? Let me tell you something, I wasn't the one who caused the accident and escaped. I have no idea what you are asking me to admit."
