Chapter 619: 619 The Debt He Owed Her, Putting His Life on the Line (2)_1
Jin Xiangnan was speaking when he saw Eleven flinch. Suddenly she lifted her head, gritted her teeth, sowhat resisting what she had to hear next: "No... that can’t be... he was just a child then."
"Unfortunately, he was so beautiful, living in such a place... Many of those who visited there were drawn to him, but Jiang i always protected him. She used her little position in the entertainnt city to keep him safe. Jiang i herself was off track, of course, she wouldn’t let her son be tarnished, doing her utmost to protect him, even threatening the owner of the entertainnt city with her life."
"However, sotis, she felt powerless. One night, he was taken away and confined in a private room. The man who did this was powerful, and no one in the entertainnt city dared to offend him. Upon knowing, Jiang i frantically sought help to save her son. When no one assisted her, she took an ax and stord into the room, waving the weapon at anyone who blocked her way. She was uncontrollable and no one dared to stop her. If her son was ruined, she would not live, but before she died, she would kill everyone there. But when she broke into the private room, everyone was stunned."
"That man was dead, stabbed in the heart, blood all over the ground. Gu Liancheng was huddled in a corner, his body covered in the man’s blood, shivering."
Eleven was stunned, unable to utter a word.
Jin Xiangnan told the story too vividly, not rely recounting a tale, but unconsciously investing his emotions into it.
Needless to say, he knew so many details because Wen Qianxi must have told him everything. She must have found it unbearable to bear it alone. As for the circumstances under which Gu Liancheng told Wen Qianxi, that was a story for another ti.
Many images automatically filled Eleven’s mind.
A frail mother becoming fearless for her son, not even caring for her own life to save him; him cowering in the corner, his eyes filled with terror... and so on.
"Are you alright?" Jin Xiangnan paused the story to check on Eleven, whose face didn’t look too good, "Shall we continue another day?"
"No need, let’s continue. I won’t be able to sleep tonight anyway. Just tell
everything at once."
So, he continued the story.
"After such an incident, the entertainnt city of course dared not publicize it, and Gu Liancheng was taken away by the police. From that day forward he never spoke, no one knew exactly what had happened. His mother never asked him about it later. He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, and would convulse whenever the incident was ntioned."
"Jiang i had no choice but to seek help from the Gu family. The incident caused a scandal within the family, sparking fierce argunts. So mbers of the family wanted nothing to do with it, but Jiang i threatened them, swearing to bring ruin upon the Gu family if anything happened to her son. The Gu family had a formidable background, with the patriarch himself having served in the military. Although he later beca a businessman, the family still retained many influential contacts in the military, which provided a firm foundation for the Gu family in Xicheng."
"If Jiang i stirred up this incident, it would certainly not be good for the Gu family. They had no choice but to handle it, to take care of the situation. Gu Liancheng was then ten years old, and the man had attempted to molest him first. In the end, it was ruled as self-defense, leading to his acquittal. The entertainnt city and Jiang i struck a deal, as long as they were not implicated in the incident, once it was resolved, they would receive a sum of money to leave that place for good."
"After the issue was resolved, Jiang i left that place, taking her son to settle down in a small residential area. She didn’t approach the Gu family for money. She was a woman of integrity. In my opinion, she did well by her conscience and her son. In contrast, the Gu family, with their ruthless and unjust behaviour, were truly disheartening."
