Su Bai knew that no matter how much he begged, Gu Qinnian's heart would remain unyielding. Resigned, he made one final plea for a farewell embrace.
"Brother, I truly like you. Consider it a parting gift, won't you?"
Faced with Su Bai's supplication, Gu Qinnian's heart did not stir in the slightest.
"It's time for you to go," he said coldly.
Despair clouded Su Bai's expression. His hands and feet were bound and tossed into the ship's hold by the men.
Gu Qinnian returned to the shore, watching the fishing boat drift further into the blackness of night until it disappeared from sight. Only then did he drive away.
Having dealt with Su Bai, his next step was to strike at the Li family.
A driver employed by the Lis was shirking his duties, while the Li family's young master had the audacity to lay a hand on Chi Yu.
Perhaps crippling Li Xiuwen's hand was a fitting response?
