Chapter 625: Chapter 628: Shattering the Beast Who Bullied Ye Xiaobei into Thousand Pieces
“Don’t be scared,” Gu Junzhu looked at her pale cheeks, his heart aching, “If there really was such a video, she would have brought it out long ago to create chaos. Why would she threaten you with it now? She’s a desperate dog making up lies and tricking you into begging for her.”
“No smoke without fire,” Ye Xingbei shook her head, “Maybe… maybe it’s true.”
“It’s okay, don’t be scared,” Gu Junzhu pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead, soothingly stroking her back, “I’m here. Even if it were true, I would retrieve the video. I wouldn’t let her publicize it. It’s okay, don’t be scared.”
Still, Ye Xingbei shook her head and looked up at him, “If… if it were true, would you mind?”
“Of course not,” Gu Junzhu said without hesitation, “Ye Xiaobei, what era is this? Just because someone took advantage of you unknowingly, does that mean you’re impure? That’s nonsense!”
“But I myself…” Ye Xingbei clutched her chest, her voice shaking, “If… if it was true, I would feel nauseated…”
She couldn’t accept it.
Just the thought of the scenario Ye Tao described made her feel sick to her stomach.
“It’s okay, it’s okay…” Gu Junzhu comforted her like a baby, kissing her on top of her head, “If it’s true, whoever did this, I will kill him. Make him disappear from this world, with his death, everything in the past will be gone in smoke. Then you can pretend that nothing ever happened, you won’t feel sick.”
Ye Xingbei chuckled, “Did you forget what you told Chi Zhan? Killing is illegal.”
“Yes, murder is illegal,” Gu Junzhu nodded, “but killing a beast isn’t illegal. If what Ye Tao said is true, bullying an innocent girl who’s unconscious, that’s not a person, but a beast. They can be killed freely and even multiple times in various ways.”
“It’s not that serious,” Ye Xingbei clutched her chest tighter, “Even though such things are very… disgusting, they’re not deserving of death.”
Ye Xingbei took several deep breaths, trying hard to relax somewhat. She looked up at him, “If it’s true, don’t kill anyone for me. You said we should strive to be good people in this life and cultivate good karma for the next. In the next life, I’ll make sure to be born in a better situation and protect myself.”
Gu Junzhu frowned, holding her tighter, “Ye Xiaobei, don’t talk like that. Hearing you say these things makes me anxious.”
Ye Xingbei smiled, “What? Do you think I’ll commit suicide because of this? It’s not that serious.”
Once she voiced her thoughts, Ye Xingbei felt lighter.
Even if it was true… even though it was nauseating… she thought she could endure it.
But it still made her feeling heartbroken.
If it were true, even if the culprit was caught and paid the price he should pay, she would still feel nauseated, right?
She’d probably feel nauseated for her entire life.
Gu Junzhu held Ye Xingbei tight, kissing her gently, his mind a chaotic mess like never before.
At this moment, his mind was a complicated mix of anger, heartache, and hatred.
He had always been the most calm person, but now he suddenly felt restless, his chest filled with a violent urge to kill.
His upbringing had always been traditional and strict, whether in action or thought, he always adhered to laws, rules, and ethics, never stepping out of line.
But at this moment, he didn’t care about anything. All he wanted to do was tear the beast who had bullied Ye Xiaobei into pieces.
