Who would have thought that even caught cheating, they wouldn’t break up?
Zhu Ping still rembers his daughter’s expression and words.
"He must have just been tempted by the outside world. Once he realizes, he’ll co back to ."
"No matter what, as long as he doesn’t say break up, I definitely won’t break up!"
"No matter what, I won’t give up loving him."
...
Zhu Ping, imitating his daughter’s tone, lowered his voice and shouted these words.
Then he sank onto the sofa like air had been let out of him.
As if he had lost all his strength and ans.
The child had said things to this extent; what else could they do?
They could only hope that in ti she would co to her senses.
After all, up to that point, they hadn’t considered the possibility of sothing supernatural.
They just thought she was stuck on a single idea and couldn’t let go for a while.
"But later, I gradually realized sothing was wrong."
Zhu ii not only stopped going to work, skipping out to date. Later, they even caught her wearing inappropriate clothes to nightclubs.
From that point, Zhu Ping felt like his daughter had turned into a different person.
"That night, I forcibly brought her ho."
If they hadn’t taken her back, who knew where those young people hanging around would have taken her.
Just thinking about it sends shivers down one’s spine.
"But unexpectedly, once she was ho, she began acting crazy."
Mu Yunchu asked, "Was it like just now?"
Zhu Ping shook his head.
"It wasn’t that severe then."
But still pretty crazy.
Very irritable, if not allowed to go out, she’d start throwing things around the house, and when cornered, she would curse at the two of them.
This had never happened before.
She even took a knife from the kitchen and put it to her neck to threaten them.
"There was no choice, for her safety, we had to first calm her down. Everything else waited until she put down the knife."
Reaching this point, it’s heartbreaking for parents to see their daughter suddenly beco like this.
They locked her in a room, put away all dangerous items, hoping she would calm down a bit.
"Unexpectedly, one night, she jumped from a building."
Though she jumped, she only injured her ankle and had no other injuries.
But this indirectly showed that in order to find that man, she was almost driven to madness.
Though in the end they brought her back, they could only buy a massive iron cage to keep her locked up.
Just in case she lost her mind again.
By this point, the story’s cause and effect were basically over.
But the pain for the elderly couple was not over.
"You saw earlier, after we locked her up, she began to self-harm."
Zhu Ping picked up the photo on the table beside him.
The photo showed a happy family of three. Zhu Ping and his wife looked the sa, but the young girl in the middle was unrecognizable from her current self.
Such a bright and cheerful young girl, yet she beca like this, it was hard for anyone to bear.
"It’s just by chance that I heard from a relative, saying that when soone suddenly changes their personality and becos completely different, it might be sothing supernatural."
It was around then that Zhu Ping rembered Mu Yunchu ntioning to him not long ago, sothing major was going to happen to their family.
With a try-and-see attitude, he sought out Mu Yunchu.
Having explained everything, Zhu Ping felt a bit uncertain.
His hands moving unconsciously in front of him, he looked at Mu Yunchu with a near-prayerful gaze, hoping to catch a sense of ’ease’ in her expression.
But he was destined to be disappointed.
From his description, Mu Yunchu had already guessed the type of Gu it might be.
"If I’m not mistaken, your daughter was probably afflicted with a Lover Gu."
Zhu Ping and his wife: !!!
The term Lover Gu might not have been the first ti they’d heard it; similar concepts existed in many novels and TV shows.
But it was the first ti they heard it in real life.
And just from the na alone, one could guess what the Gu’s effect might be.
Mu Yunchu said, "It’s said that the one afflicted with a Lover Gu would be crazily infatuated with the other person."
This situation aligned well with the state Zhu Ping had previously described.
Then, Mu Yunchu’s voice lowered, "And when she can’t see the mother Gu, she’ll ’fall ill.’ With unbearable heart pain, as if nurous worms were gnawing at her, constantly anxious, unable to control her emotions, and so on..."
This also matched what they’d just seen.
"So this Gu...?" Zhu Ping’s sentence was left unfinished as he saw Mu Yunchu shake her head.
She knew what they wanted to ask.
But unfortunately, she couldn’t do it yet.
Because there was a real Gu worm in Zhu ii’s body, and only the person who implanted it could remove it.
Seeing her reaction, the couple sighed in disappointnt.
Even though Mu Yunchu was young, she gave them a very reliable feeling. So when expectations were high, the disappointnt was doubled.
Moreover, both Zhu Ping and his wife were ordinary people without connections for such matters.
For a mont, they looked lost, uncertain of what to do next.
But soon, Mu Yunchu’s words rekindled their hope.
"Although I can’t remove this Gu, I can use so thods to alleviate her pain and delay the onset to so extent."
In other words, it would make Zhu ii less uncomfortable than she was now.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping responded excitedly.
That would work!
Even if it wasn’t a cure, as long as his daughter could feel a little better, they could co up with other solutions later.
He quickly entrusted Mu Yunchu.
When he received the items with both hands, his wife quickly ran into the room.
At this mont, Mu Yunchu said again, "Can you find her so-called boyfriend?"
Zhu Ping was puzzled.
She explained, "To untie the bell, you need to find the one who tied it. To completely solve this issue, it still depends on this person."
Zhu Ping understood.
He suddenly clapped his hands, "ii’s phone must have that man’s number!"
Seeing him jog back into the room, Mu Yunchu watched his back, lost in thought.
Her brows knitted, not relaxing for a long ti.
Just based on Zhu Ping’s description of this person, Mu Yunchu didn’t believe the Gu Poison was his.
However, they probably wouldn’t know the specifics until they saw him.
...
Zhou Zhicheng confidently lifted the caution tape and strode into the room.
Who would have thought that in just one day, he would co to this community twice?
With the sa perpetrator, no less.
He walked into the bathroom, observing the large patches of blood and scattered hair on the floor, it wasn’t hard to imagine what had just happened here.
Hu Chi rushed in, out of breath.
Zhou Zhicheng turned his head, "How’s it going? Has Xia Ling been taken to the hospital?"
"Can she be saved?"
