nToo Cruel!

nThe boatman, Song Sheng, stepped forward and quickly reached Gu Jinrong, gripping his arm.

nGu Jinrong tried to resist, but his arm felt as if it was trapped in a vice, rendering him immobile.

nA powerful aura overwhelmed him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

nGu Jinrong was shocked.

nThe ordinary-looking boatman was actually a hidden expert!

nHe couldn’t defeat the other party at all.

nMoreover, the ship was filled with the other party’s people. If they engaged in a fight, he had no chance of winning.

nUnderstanding his predicament, Gu Jinrong quickly changed his statement. “Young Lady, please calm down. I will do it! I will sew my sister’s mouth shut and break her hand.”

nAs long as he could appease this woman’s anger, he could protect both of their lives. Gu Jinyue wouldn’t blame him for making a small sacrifice.

nSong Sheng looked at Gu Qingluan with a questioning gaze.

nGu Qingluan smiled and nodded in response. Song Sheng let go and took two steps back.

nGu Jinrong squatted down and extended his trembling hand.

n“Yue ‘er, don’t worry. Brother will surely seek revenge for you in the future!” he silently vowed.

nGu Jinyue, still unconscious, remained oblivious to the impending torment.

nKacha!

nA sharp sound echoed through the air.

n“Ah!”

nGu Jinyue jolted awake, awakened by the searing pain.

n“Yue ‘er, endure it,” Gu Jinrong consoled her, his heart aching.

n“Brother, my hand…” Gu Jinyue gazed at her injured right hand. “It hurts! Who broke my hand?”

nGu Jinrong’s eyes flickered with mixed emotions. “Yue ‘er, endure it. Brother will find the best doctor to treat your hand.”

nHe firmly grasped Gu Jinyue’s other hand.

nOnce again, a crisp sound reverberated.

nGu Jinyue almost fainted from the pain. Shock and pain distorted her face.

n“Brother, are you crazy? Why did you break my hands!”

n“I’m sorry, Yue ‘er. I did it for your own good.”

nHow was breaking her hands beneficial for her?!

nHe had just slapped her twice, and now he had crippled her hands. This brother of hers had become a complete stranger.

nIn the past, her brother had never treated her like this. It must be because of that damn woman!

nGu Jin Yue glared at Gu Qingluan with gritted teeth. “You witch, did you threaten my brother?”

nGu Jinrong immediately covered her mouth. “Yue ‘er, be quiet!”

nOtherwise, all his efforts would be in vain!

n“Wuwuwu!” Gu Jinyue didn’t cooperate. She shook her head, trying to shake him off.

nGu Jinrong held onto her while gently speaking to Gu Qingluan, “Miss, Yue ‘er’s hand is already crippled. She can no longer harm your disciple. Can we forget about sewing her mouth shut?”

n“Sure!” Gu Qingluan smiled faintly.

nGu Jinrong felt delighted upon hearing that and was about to compliment her.

nBut Gu Qingluan added calmly, “Your sister’s pain will be in vain.”

nGu Jinrong’s smile froze. He forced a smile. “We don’t have any needles here…”

n“I have! I have!” A childish voice chimed in.

nGu Xiaonan giggled as he pulled out a needle and thread from his pocket.

nWho would carry a needle and thread with them? Wasn’t he afraid of accidentally pricking himself? Gu Jinrong cursed silently in his mind.

nGu Xiaonan asked Xiaomei to pass the needle and thread to Gu Jinrong.

nGu Jinrong hesitated, unsure of how to respond.

n“I don’t like to force others. If Young Master Gu is unwilling, you can give up,” Gu Qingluan calmly stated.

nAfter multiple confrontations, Gu Jinrong was no longer naive enough to believe that the other party would spare them.

nHis expression changed slightly as he forced a smile. “You’re not forcing me. It is indeed necessary to teach my sister a lesson so that she won’t act impulsively in the future… Hiss!”

nSuddenly, Gu Jinrong felt a sharp pain in his hand.

nInstinctively, he pulled his hand back.

nGu Jinyue, filled with urgency and anger, exclaimed, “Gu Jinrong, if you dare lay a hand on me, I will definitely tell our parents!”

nGlancing at the bite mark on the palm of his hand, Gu Jinrong’s face turned grim. “If our parents were here, I believe they would support my decision.”

nWith that, he took the needle and thread from Xiaomei’s hand.

nHe had made up his mind to sew her mouth shut!

nGu Jinyue was filled with overwhelming fear.

nJust the thought of the needle piercing her skin made her scalp numb, let alone the fact that it wasn’t just a needle or two, but sewing her mouth shut!

nThe pain was one thing, but if it left her disfigured, how would she face others in the future?

nHer body trembled uncontrollably, and her face was covered in snot and tears. “Brother, no, I beg you! Don’t…”

n“Yue ‘er, don’t be afraid. Endure it, and it will be over.”

nGu Jinrong’s heart ached, but he had no choice. If he didn’t do as that woman said, both of them would die.

nWith a heart filled with ruthlessness, he pressed Gu Jinyue’s acupuncture point and pierced the needle into her lips.

nA tragic cry echoed over the surface of the sea. The pirates, who lived on the edge of the blade, felt their scalps go numb. It was too brutal! It was beyond brutal!

nFortunately, they surrendered early!

n“Miss, I have sewed my sister’s mouth shut as per your instructions. Are you satisfied?”

nGu Jinrong looked at Gu Qingluan with a pale face.

nGu Qingluan crossed her legs and clapped slowly. “I’m quite satisfied.”

nAt that moment, Gu Jinyue fainted from the excruciating pain. Her lips were sewn together, and her face was drenched in blood. Her lips were swollen and crimson.

nWho would dare to gaze upon such a sight?

nNot only did Gu Qingluan gaze upon it, but her expression remained unchanged. She even smiled.

nThose who failed to comprehend her felt an icy chill in their hearts. They secretly acknowledged that this woman was not to be underestimated.

nLittle did they know, her abdomen had been sliced open, and her unborn child had been forcefully taken away.

nCompared to her suffering, what Gu Jinyue was currently experiencing seemed insignificant.

nAlthough Gu Jinyue wasn’t the one who had opened her stomach and taken her child in the past, she had played a part in the original owner’s mistreatment before she was expelled from the Gu family.

nAnd this was just the beginning!

nGu Jinrong let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, a strong gust of wind blew from the sea, lifting the veil on Gu Qingluan’s face.

nIn an instant, Gu Jinrong’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

n“You… Why is it you?”
