There was a Gothic styled castle in the depths of the island. The castle had a grand appearance and luxurious and mysterious. It was not incomparable to the castles from the Middle Ages.
In the castle’s underground jail, a slender figure was sitting quietly.
He was sitting against the wall, his face pale with his hands placed on his knees. If it was not for his pale lips, it was impossible to see that he was injured.
He looked too calm.
Just like a breeze that blew in spring, looking at him could calm a frustrated and uneasy heart.
The metal doors of the jail were opened and a man wearing a black mask walked in.
The man spoke coldly, staring at Gu Sheng, “Have you decided? You will be punished as a traitor if you don’t follow my plans! However, you’re smart, calm and have joined the group for many years. I can give you one last chance.”
Gu Sheng opened his eyes slowly, staring at the other man with clear eyes, “You got Auntie Sun to poison Nan Zhi?”
The man huffed in anger, “I originally could have used Nan Zhi being poisoned to blackmail Mu Sihan to give me what I wanted, but you spoiled my plans! And you dare to come and question me now?”
Gu Sheng smiled weakly, coldness in eyes. “I have my ways of doing things, and have my own bottom line that I would never touch. Since you think that I’m not loyal, then give me Devil!”
“There’s no antidote for Devil, and you can only live for at most a month after you take it. Are you sure you want to accept the punishment of taking Devil?”
Gu Sheng closed his eyes, his fingers tightening around his knees. “Yes.”
Devil was a lethal poison created by a genius, and he had been assigned to work under that genius back then.
One time after that genius got drunk, he found out accidentally that there was an antidote for Devil, that is the blood of another person poisoned with Devil. The poisoned person had to drink the poisoned blood for seven days, and the person would recover. However, the person who gave his blood would grow older at a faster rate, making them die even faster.
His Little Flower was a girl he had protected for more than a decade. He had been hurt, bitter, sad, conflicted and stubborn because he could not get her.
The only thing he had never thought about was to let her die for real.
She was a girl who liked beauty. For her, the poison, Devil, would definitely be more painful than dying!
In that case, he would be the one who entered Hell’s doors for her.
…
Ning City.
Mu Sihan got on a luxurious SUV, led by a capable and smart woman.
A handsome middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura was sitting at the back row. He was reading a document with a serious expression.
The middle-aged man did not even lift his head at the sound of someone getting on the car. His lips remained tensed, until he signed the last document with three nice words, Ye Fengjun.
Ye Fengjun, Mu Sihan and Ye Qing’s biological father, and the second son of the current queen in S Country.
Mu Sihan sat opposite of Ye Fengjun, his figure as tall as his biological father. His appearance was also mostly inherited from Ye Fengjun, and belonged to the type of handsomeness that was sharp and cold.
Ye Fengjun passed the document to the woman that led Mu Sihan over after he signed it, and it was then that his black eyes looked up at Mu Sihan.
The two’s eyes were filled with coldness and aloofness. They were definitely an unusual pair of father and son.
Mu Sihan’s expression was completely tensed, his voice void of any temperature, “What do you want? Say it straight.”
Ye Fengjun did not plan to beat around the bush with Mu Sihan, saying coldly, “I came to negotiate with you today.”
Mu Sihan smirked coldly.
The most heartless people were from the royal family, and Mu Sihan knew very clearly how coldblooded this person was as a father.
Loathing and sneering contempt flashed in his eyes. “Who are you to negotiate with me? The Ye family has no business with me right now.”
Ye Fengjun stared at Mu Sihan with a serious expression. “You don’t have to act arrogant in front of me. You won’t be able to resist it if I want to destroy you now.”
Mu Sihan’s hands that were on his knees clenched into tight fists. His expression was dark, “Are you using your status to suppress me? Ha, what am I, Mu Sihan, afraid of!”
“Yes, you were afraid of nothing in the past and could act arrogant and any way you liked. However, it’s different now. You have a deadly weakness.” Ye Fengjun’s eyes were cold and arrogant. “From what I know, your son won’t last the week if he doesn’t undergo the surgery now. The woman you like is already gone, do you want to lose the only son you have with her as well?”
Mu Sihan thought about the critical illness notice letter the nurse gave him. His eyes immediately turned red. “What are you trying to say?”
“And not only that, you can’t find a suitable bone marrow for your son now. Are you going to end your son’s life with your own hands?”
Ye Fengjun’s cruel words hit Mu Sihan’s heart directly.
His brat could not die!
He would even use his life to change for the boy’s life!
“There’s someone in the Ye family that is able to save your son now, but you have to agree to the two conditions I have.”
Mu Sihan really wanted to remind this seemingly emotionless man that the boy in critical condition in the surgery room was his grandson…
Ha, how could he expect a man who did not even care about his biological son and only knew how to use people to get what he wanted, to care about a grandson!
“First, return to the Ye family with me. Second, marry the Shangguan’s daughter, Shangguan Wan.”
Mu Sihan punched the window, “Don’t even think about it!” He would never agree to those two conditions.
Not wanting to speak any more to Ye Fengjun, Mu Sihan pushed the door open and got off the car with a cold expression.
He walked towards the hospital hurriedly. His chest felt like a huge stone was pressing against his chest, and it was so heavy that he could not breathe properly.
…
In the hospital’s emergency treatment room.
Junyuan and several medical staff had done their best to save Xiaojie for nearly three hours, before managing to pull him back from the gates of hell.
Junyuan walked out of the surgery room, exhausted. At the sight of Mu Sihan’s red eyes, he said seriously, “Young Master Mu, we can’t delay it anymore. Although we managed to save Xiaojie this time, he might not be able to make it through the week if we don’t find a suitable bone marrow for the surgery in time.”
Mu Sihan’s eyes turned redder.
He changed into an aseptic gown and entered the surgery room. At the sight of the pale boy lying on the surgery table, Mu Sihan felt like his chest was clenched tightly by someone. The boy looked so weak that he was completely pale. At this moment, Mu Sihan felt so much pain that he could not breathe properly.
He was not even four years old, yet he needed to withstand a pain that normal people were not able to bear!
However, he was so strong he never cried or called out in pain.
Xiaojie woke up two hours later, though he was still very weak. He said softly to Mu Sihan, who was standing by the bed, “Daddy, is it time for me to go to heaven to see the stars and moon?”
Mu Sihan grabbed Xiaojie’s soft hands, shaking his head heavily. “No, Daddy won’t let you go there. If you want the stars, Daddy will think of a way to take them down for you.”
“Daddy, don’t cry. You have to find Pretty Zhizhi if Xiaojie is gone. Remember, you cannot make her sad again, okay?” Xiaojie smiled brightly. “Xiaojie didn’t want to have any younger siblings in the past because I was afraid that you won’t like the sick Xiaojie anymore after you have more children. However, Xiaojie cannot be so selfish anymore. Daddy, when Pretty Zhizhi comes back, you can have more children with her! Xiaojie won’t be jealous anymore!”
