Chapter 814: Chapter 818 Disabled Person
Ye Xingbei now especially missed the old Fifth Master of Gu.
Although the current Gu Junzhu was more composed and more imposing, looking ever the successful man, she still preferred the earlier Gu Junzhu, who irritated her so much she often felt like exploding.
Because that version of Junzhu was happy.
Guo Mu lay in the hospital bed, one hand cuffed to the bed head, the other hand pierced with a needle for an IV drip.
Even though the doctor had already administered painkillers, he still felt pain throughout his body.
He heard the doctor treating him discussing that the darts shot at him had been soaked in a medicinal fluid.
That kind of fluid could slowly corrode his muscles and nerves, causing his whole body to rot and ultimately, lead to his death.
If he had been hurt in just three to five places, even ten or eight, and received appropriate treatment, there might have been hope for recovery.
But he had been injured in too many places, a total of over thirty.
The fluid slowly corroded his entire body’s muscles and nerves, and the current medicine could only delay the onset of toxins, incapable of saving his life.
He originally thought he was not afraid to die.
But when he vividly felt something devouring his body and life, he realized that waiting for death was too terrifying.
Moreover, it was a painful death.
The process of the drugs eroding his muscles and nerves was a pain beyond his imagination.
It was like someone was using a blunt knife to slowly cut off his muscles piece by piece, then gradually peeling all the muscles from his bones.
In the past, he never imagined that a person could endure such pain and still live, moreover live consciously.
He could hear the voices of doctors, nurses, and police around him.
He could move his eyes.
He could still feel the pain from his entire body, but he could no longer speak or move.
He had become a complete invalid.
Ironically, the police still feared he might escape and had handcuffed one of his wrists to the bed head.
For him at this moment, death was rather a relief.
But the most tragic thing was that he couldn’t even die.
He was so pained that he was dazed, wearing an oxygen mask, his lips trembling for a long time without being able to utter a single syllable, unable even to beg someone to kill him.
Pain, regret, despair, various negative emotions buried him as he endured both physical and mental torment.
Just when he felt life was worse than death, he heard people around him talking.
A very gentle female voice said, “Hey, did you hear? The Young Lady of the Fang family died, died in the detention center, strangled by a fellow inmate.”
Another clearer female voice said, “Of course I heard, it’s today’s biggest news. I also heard that Fang Mingzhu and our ward’s patient were associates, it was Fang Mingzhu who paid our ward’s patient to commit murder, truly a case of evil getting its just desserts!”
“Exactly,” the gentle voice agreed, “I saw a photo of Fang Mingzhu online, she looked so pretty and delicate, yet she was so monstrously cruel, really, appearances do deceive.”
“Heaven’s net is vast and escapes none,” the clearer voice said, “Our ward’s patient won’t live much longer either. On the road to Netherworld, they can keep each other company; just hope that in their next life they don’t continue to be wrongdoers…”
The voices of the two women gradually faded away.
What else they said, Guo Mu could no longer hear clearly.
But he had heard very clearly, Fang Mingzhu was dead.
