Gu Qixiao initially didn’t understand why she held such a belief, but when he saw Li Yu’s devastating condition, he realized it was because she had already arranged everything beforehand.
"He was far too confident, assuming I had no connections and that the people around were all upright and principled."
Sotis, arrogance cos with its own retribution.
Just like now—he probably never expected her to hire an assassin to kill him, did he?
But Li Yu’s life was stubbornly resilient. Even in such a grave condition, he still managed to be saved.
Ji Yu walked into the hospital room and couldn’t help but sneer coldly as she saw his body wrapped entirely in bandages.
"Li Yu, did you really think I was so easy target you could crush underfoot? Is that why you dared to harm my mother? Look at you now—do you finally understand what I’m capable of?"
She smiled with an expression that seed gentle and kind, yet all he felt was bone-chilling coldness.
His current state was indeed wretched, and he could barely utter a complete sentence.
"There’s no need for you to voice your thoughts. I already know you must be utterly miserable right now. Look at yourself—do you honestly think you’ll ever be able to walk again?"
This was, in truth, the most pitiful state soone could be in.
After all, his current condition was even worse than dying outright.
His eyes were swollen red with fury.
"What, do you want to call vicious? Why don’t you think about your own actions? If you hadn’t gone after my mother, would I have ever gone after you? This is the price of your own doing."
Ji Yu had always abided by the principle: "If others don’t harm , I won’t harm them."
But since he had already gone to such lengths, wouldn’t it be impolite not to strike back?
"Ji Yu..." He finally managed to squeeze out his first words, though every syllable carried seething hatred.
It was plain to see that even speaking was excruciatingly difficult for him.
"Oh, so you can still talk? But you seem to be in a great deal of pain. Why not just end it yourself? That might make things easier for you—a rciful relief from this tornt."
In his current state, there was virtually no hope of recovery.
When the doctor walked in, they were t with this scene and couldn’t help but feel worried.
"Are you this patient’s family mber? Since he was admitted, no one has been here to care for him."
How could soone like him possibly have family? And his so-called subordinates—well, they only cared about profit. There was no way they’d look after a cripple like him.
"We’re not particularly close. Honestly, there’s so bad blood between us. Why, is there sothing you need?"
This situation truly put the dical staff in a difficult position.
"This patient’s dical expenses haven’t been settled yet. Moreover, his condition is dire—he needs a family mber’s signature for a skin graft."
He had suffered severe burns. Without a graft, his body would never recover properly, and his current state ant constant agony—unceasing tornt.
He hadn’t imagined that no one would co to care for him. His eyes grew hollow and numb, his expression utterly despondent and bereft of hope.
"In that case, why not just throw him out? I doubt he has any family willing to sign for him anyway."
Ji Yu showed no sympathy for such a person. Considering the heinous acts he’d committed before, even a thousand cuts wouldn’t suffice for his cris.
He suddenly withdrew his previously hateful gaze and looked at Ji Yu with pleading desperation, as if begging her for help.
Ji Yu looked at him coldly, a mocking smile on her face.
"Now you know how to beg ? What about before? Think about all the things you’ve done. Why should I save you? After what you did to my mother, did you really think you’d have the chance to keep living?"
Between them existed nothing but profound hatred—there was no possibility of kindness.
These words seed too much for him to bear. His emotions spiraled into collapse, and his physical condition deteriorated sharply as a result.
The doctor had no choice but to initiate ergency treatnt.
Ji Yu paid them no attention, turning to leave. This man no longer had anything to do with her. Letting him live in pain like this was an even more fitting end.
Instead of granting him a clean death, she thought it better to let him endure this wretched existence.
Surely, this life of his was far more agonizing than death itself.
When she returned, she happened to see Ji Yuanzhou sitting in the hospital room.
"Yu, was that whole thing your doing?"
"Mm." Ji Yu nodded lightly. Though she typically seed gentle, once soone crossed her boundaries, she couldn’t harbor even a shred of kindness.
"Brother, there’s no need to overthink it. He dared to touch Mom, so there’s no way I could ever forgive him."
To her, this was her final act of tenderness. And even if her biological mother were still alive, she had no desire to confront such people.
"Yu, I just think it’s not worth dirtying your hands with blood for a person like that. Even if he were to die, it wouldn’t bring any benefit."
"That’s why I didn’t kill him. I just had soone turn him into a cripple. Don’t worry, he won’t die—but what he becos afterward, I can’t guarantee." Ji Yu’s eyes glead with a trace of icy malice as she spoke.
This punishnt was enough to leave an indelible mark on him for life.
Still, Ji Yu hadn’t forgotten to express her gratitude to the one who carried out the deed.
The man’s face lit up with excitent when he saw Ji Yu.
"Doctor Ji, there’s no need for you to thank so politely."
Given their relationship, he’d willingly do anything for her, no matter how much.
Ji Yu looked at him sowhat helplessly, knowing full well he’d likely been waiting all this ti for her to co to him for help.
"Regardless, I’m deeply grateful. I despise him, and I’m thankful for your assistance. Honestly, performing surgery for you was sothing I should’ve done—it wasn’t so grand favor. You don’t need to rember it for so long."
In her perspective, such favors didn’t require repaynt. Still, this ti, she supposed she owed him one.
The man smiled bitterly.
"I rember that situation vividly. I went to so many people, but no one was willing to operate on —only you accepted. At the ti, I truly thought I’d seen an angel, so this is a debt I’ll never forget."
Whenever he recalled those monts, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of gratitude toward Ji Yu.
To him, she was like a luminous moon amid darkness, an unwavering presence that could never be extinguished.
