Time ticked by, and Gu Tianming, waiting outside, was starting to get bewildered.
Wasn’t it just a little persuasion?
How could it take so long?
He stood up, intending to go inside.
At that moment, the door opened.
Bai Jinghong came out.
“So? Has Sixin forgiven me?”
Gu Tianming still held high hopes for Bai Jinghong.
“Ah…” Bai Jinghong sighed softly.
His completely regretful expression made Gu Tianming’s heart sink.
“Still hasn’t forgiven me?”
Bai Jinghong patted his shoulder and said, “It’s best if you don’t bother her for a while.”
“Her emotions are running high. Extremely high. High enough that she’s trembling all over.”
Gu Tianming naturally didn’t grasp the double meaning in Bai Jinghong’s words.
He assumed “trembling all over from high emotions” meant extreme anger.
Little did he know it was because Bai Jinghong had just released inside her, and Xu Sixin had reached her peak, causing her whole body to tremble!
Gu Tianming sighed.
So he hadn’t been forgiven after all.
Bai Jinghong shifted his tone. “But don’t worry, she did listen to some of my advice!”
“Really?” Gu Tianming’s eyes lit up.
Bai Jinghong nodded. “Actually, when she was talking to me just now, on the surface it was resentment towards you.”
“But I could tell it was anger that you weren’t there when Duo Duo was in danger, letting her fall into harm’s way!”
Hearing this, Gu Tianming understood!
He completely understood that feeling. This was indeed his own negligence.
His eyes filled with ruthlessness. “That bastard who locked Duo Duo in a dog cage, I will definitely kill him!”
“Thank you so much this time!”
Gu Tianming was deliberately trying to get close; he wanted to rope Bai Jinghong in and use him against Chen Lin.
“Don’t mention it. I also felt an instant connection with you. No need for too much formality between us, right? In short, in Dragon Sea, I still have some say!”
Bai Jinghong saw right through this bastard’s intentions, but it suited him perfectly.
Bai Jinghong was also thinking it was necessary to further escalate the conflict.
Once he got back, he’d talk to Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue. He’d have them attempt an assassination on Gu Tianming first.
The assassination would definitely fail; it was just to make an appearance!
That fool Gu Tianming would immediately be convinced it was Chen Lin. After all, in his knowledge, Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue were Chen Lin’s most trusted generals.
He would never guess the two women were now his women!
“By the way, who exactly was the one who kidnapped Duo Duo? The only captive was killed by you. Now it’ll be hard to find the mastermind!”
Bai Jinghong pretended to sigh again regretfully.
Gu Tianming snorted coldly. “I know who it is. I’ll handle it myself, but we can’t alert them now!”
Bai Jinghong responded with an “Oh,” then said, “As long as you know. If you need any help, just let me know!”
“Thanks, brother!” Gu Tianming nodded to Bai Jinghong.
“Brother? Brother, my ass, you stupid dog. Are you even worthy? Once Chen Lin is dead, you’re next, you idiot!”
Bai Jinghong cursed inwardly.
“Nothing else here now. Mr. Gu, you should leave first!” Bai Jinghong said.
“Leave?” Gu Tianming was stunned.
Bai Jinghong smiled. “Yes, you can’t stay here. During my talk with Miss Xu just now, she explicitly stated she doesn’t want to see you before Duo Duo recovers.”
“For their peace of mind and treatment, you really can’t be here. Besides, there’ll be plenty of time later. No need to rush!”
Gu Tianming thought it over and nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I’ve been gone so long, suddenly appearing… they can’t accept it right away.”
“For my daughter’s health and safety, I should leave first.”
“Once I’ve dealt with that bastard behind this, I’ll reunite with them!”
Gu Tianming made up his mind. If he didn’t kill Chen Lin, his hatred wouldn’t be appeased.
“A good man. Truly a good man!” Bai Jinghong gave a thumbs-up. “You can rest assured. This is my private hospital!”
“I’ll arrange everything properly. I’ll find nationally renowned doctors to examine Duo Duo. For your sake, it’s free!”
Bai Jinghong declared grandly, appearing incredibly generous.
“Good brother! I’m definitely calling you my brother!” Gu Tianming was deeply grateful.
“Don’t mention it. Go take care of your business then. Contact me if you need anything. Here’s my number.”
After exchanging numbers, Gu Tianming walked back to the ward window, glanced deeply at the sleeping Duo Duo, and then wanted to see Xu Sixin. But gritting his teeth, he resisted and left.
After Gu Tianming left, Bai Jinghong couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Two War Gods biting each other. Interesting. It’s time for Yaoyao and the others to make their move early!”
Bai Jinghong coughed. “Come out now.”
Xu Sixin slowly emerged from the room, her beautiful face still flushed.
She walked to Bai Jinghong’s side, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gently pressed against him, tender and lingering.
Bai Jinghong smiled faintly, holding Xu Sixin’s waist and lowering his head to kiss her red lips.
The two stood there in the middle of the corridor, kissing and entwining their lips and tongues passionately.
No matter what type of protagonist they were, the rule was usually: If a brother was bullied, sit down and discuss a strategy. But if a woman was bullied, they’d use the Heaven-Earth Same Life suicide technique without a second thought!
So, Bai Jinghong naturally wouldn’t let Gu Tianming find out about this so quickly.
And Gu Tianming, who had just left, wouldn’t have much chance to find out now anyway.
His mind was completely consumed by revenge, unaware that the real architect of his troubles had just been standing right in front of him.
And he’d even thought, what a smooth operator!
…
Meanwhile, at the hotel where Zi Yue was staying.
Shen Yaoyao had come to visit her.
Back home, she’d contacted Zi Yue and learned Zi Yue was staying at a hotel owned by the Bai Family.
So, she got an idea!
Using the excuse of not having seen her for a long time, she came to visit, but her real intention was to kill Zi Yue.
Shen Yaoyao constantly felt guilty towards Bai Jinghong.
She had deceived him time and again, but Bai Jinghong never held it against her. He’d even investigated and found the true culprit behind her family’s massacre for her.
This made Shen Yaoyao feel even more guilty and wanting to make amends.
Since Zi Yue was one of the potential threats, Shen Yaoyao felt it necessary to eliminate this hidden danger.
The two women met in the hotel room. Zi Yue was very happy to see Shen Yaoyao.
“Yaoyao, you finally came! I was so bored I was going crazy!”
Zi Yue complained; she had indeed been quite bored these past two days.
Bai Jinghong had left her here and hadn’t come to see her, leaving her alone to wander around.
“Mm, I just came to check on you. How have you been lately?” Shen Yaoyao revealed a faint smile.
Zi Yue flopped onto the bed, shaking her head. “Not great. Pretty boring!”
“But well, I have some anticipation in my heart now, so it’s okay.”
Zi Yue smiled.
She also hadn’t told Shen Yaoyao about Bai Jinghong.
Both mistakenly assumed the other was still working for Chen Lin, so they kept it secret.
“Some anticipation, huh? That’s nice. At least there’s something to think about!”
Shen Yaoyao was still smiling, but she had already slipped her hand into her handbag.
Zi Yue didn’t notice this, but she still maintained a certain level of wariness in her heart.
It was instinct. For someone living on the edge, changing certain allegiances naturally bred caution towards those on the opposing side.
“Want to go out for a walk together? If I stay cooped up any longer, I’ll get depressed!”
Zi Yue sat up and walked directly to the bedside cabinet to get something.
This turn of her back gave Shen Yaoyao her opening.
A cold gleam flashed in her eyes as the dagger appeared instantly in her hand.
Her steps shifted lightly, and with a burst of Energy Qi, her speed reached its peak.
Zi Yue felt a chill down her spine.
Her own skills were no less than Shen Yaoyao’s. She instantly reacted, grabbing an unused ashtray from the bedside and quickly turning to block her chest.
“Clang!”
A collision sound rang out.
The ashtray was shattered by Shen Yaoyao’s powerful strike. Zi Yue seized the opportunity to flip over to the other side of the bed.
