Although Hong didn’t understand what was going on with Ji Yu, seeing her in this state left no room for questions.
Ji Yu had no intention of taking action against these people for now. Holding steady was the best approach to resolve this matter.
Besides, Hu Qianqian didn’t seem like someone who could keep her cool.
That evening, Gu Qixiao personally came to take Ji Yu to witness the downfall of these people.
"Yu, who’s this gentleman?"
Hu Qianqian’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Gu Qixiao.
"I’m Yu’s fiancé." He took the opportunity to be assertive.
He enjoyed tying himself to Ji Yu, so every time he introduced himself, he was always proactive.
Ji Yu couldn’t help feeling a little helpless, but she didn’t refute him either.
After all, that was indeed the relationship between them, so there was no need for further explanation.
Hu Qianqian frowned, but she quickly adjusted, realizing that Ji Yu must have been living well before. Otherwise, how could she have such a fiancé?
"So you’re Yu’s fiancé. We should really get to know each other. How about exchanging contact information or perhaps a meal sometime?"
Gu Qixiao found such overtures the most irksome.
However, for Ji Yu, this kind of scenario had already become unsurprising.
"I’m sorry, the only woman in my contact list is Yu, and that’s enough for me. I’m not interested in exchanging anything further. As for a meal, let’s pass. I prefer enjoying a world of just the two of us with Yu."
What he said was actually the truth.
But in Hu Qianqian’s eyes, this was Gu Qixiao being deliberately over the top. Who knew what he might truly be like behind the scenes? At this moment, he just came across as a bit more decent.
"If that’s the case, then I’ll see you around if fate allows."
She didn’t insist further, but in her heart, she thought about taking Gu Qixiao for herself if given another chance in the future.
The two of them got into the car, clearly uninterested in acknowledging her. What Hu Qianqian wanted to do had nothing to do with them.
"It seems our President Gu is still quite charming, drawing so much attention even with just a brief appearance."
Gu Qixiao didn’t think much of it.
"I only like you." She was the only one he cared about, so why would he bother with others’ opinions?
"If you feel uneasy about it, I can avoid speaking to such people in the future." Gu Qixiao himself disliked dealing with people like that. If not for initially considering her as Ji Yu’s relative, he wouldn’t have interacted with her at all.
"That’s not what I meant. I know what’s in your heart." She was just joking, but seeing Gu Qixiao’s seriousness left her with no other response.
"But since you’ve already captured them, why do I need to watch?" Read full story at NovєlFіre.net
She wasn’t particularly concerned about the life or death of those people.
"They caused you so much suffering before, and I almost lost you in that incident. This matter holds immense significance for me."
He loved Ji Yu and couldn’t bear for anything to harm her.
Thankfully, Ji Yu was still alive now. Otherwise, he might have spiraled even further, perhaps even becoming someone unrecognizable to her.
"Gu Qixiao, that time wasn’t so bad. I found my family, so in a way, it was a blessing in disguise."
For some reason, Ji Yu didn’t feel repelled when she saw Hu Jianyu. Maybe there really was some intangible pull between family members.
"That’s indeed something to be happy about, but it doesn’t erase the fact that they hurt you. Back then, I resolved that if I ever caught them, I would make them pay an equal price. Now, I’ve done it."
What he had done stemmed from the hatred in his heart.
Ji Yu actually agreed that Gu Qixiao was right to act this way. After they had gone so far, leaving them unpunished would only invite more complications in the future.
By the time they reached the Gu family’s basement, Ji Yu realized the extent of Gu Qixiao’s fury.
However, this didn’t strike a particular chord with Ji Yu.
When they saw Ji Yu, the captured people hoped she would be soft-hearted.
All of them stared at Ji Yu pleadingly, hoping she might release them soon.
"We truly have no intention of seeking revenge; our people are even prepared to disband. We beg you, please don’t continue..."
The man still experienced searing pain to this day.
This incident had truly been devastating for them.
Ji Yu’s expression remained composed as she took in the scene.
"You’re simply suffering the consequences of your own actions."
They had tormented so many people before; this was their karmic retribution. At times, Ji Yu couldn’t help but wonder if Du Kang’s death had been too easy. He hadn’t even experienced such agony.
"Yu, if you don’t want to dirty your hands, leave the rest to me."
Gu Qixiao had no qualms about handling such matters.
Ji Yu looked at him helplessly. "Why sully your hands over people ? Many matters don’t require us to personally intervene."
Although she didn’t know much about Gu Qixiao’s prior life, his approach seemed unnecessarily dirty.
He realized his hands shouldn’t be tainted by such trivial trash.
After all, he still held Ji Yu’s hand; why degrade himself over such filth?
He had his own perspective on these matters.
"Assistant Li, proceed as planned. Leave this situation in your hands."
Assistant Li understood Gu Qixiao’s intentions. Previously, Gu Qixiao handled such affairs himself, rarely delegating to him. But by now, Assistant Li was very familiar with the process.
Once the two left, Assistant Li gave the orders: "Continue."
Gu Qixiao and Ji Yu felt no sympathy for this matter. They had long known that people like these would meet a miserable end.
After all, the atrocities they committed were more than enough to deserve death a thousand times over.
Ji Yu had already come to peace with this matter.
"At least we both made it through."
They were fortunate to still be standing here.
However, Ji Yu’s reason for meeting Gu Qixiao today was also to discuss something serious.
"President Gu, may I trouble you today to discuss a partnership?" She looked at Gu Qixiao expectantly, a rare expression for her.
Gu Qixiao found himself almost unable to resist.
