Chapter 982 Treat Human Life Like Dirt

Gu Qingxin was silent. He held his knee and put his chin on it.

She knew what Zhan Ji meant when he said this to her. She was simply willful, but not stupid.

But was she really going to betray her brother and her family?

If she just let a few people go, she might make her brother angry, but sooner or later, her brother would forgive her.

But it was not just his brother who would be angry if he let go of his family's enemies for generations. The people of the clan would also be angry. If all the clansmen came forward together, even her brother would not be able to protect her.

"Xin, come with me!" Zhan Ji said.

Gu Qingxin shuddered and immediately looked up at him.

Zhan Ji said, "I know it's very difficult for you to betray your people and brother. And once this is exposed, it will be difficult for you to survive in the family. So come with me! You like me, and I like you. In that case, we will naturally be together. Come with me, I'll take you out of here. I'll bring you back when your brother and your people's anger subsides. Even if you say I'm threatening you in the future, but if you choose to help us, I don't want you to stay here alone and bear all the pressure."

"How did you know that I would definitely help you?" Gu Qingxin's eyes reddened and he wiped his tears and sobbed.

She was not upset, but touched.

She didn't expect Zhan Ji to think so much about her.

Of course, this was supposed to be Zhan Ji's consideration. But when Zhan Ji really thought about it this way, she was still very moved and inexplicably happy.

Zhan Ji looked at her with a smile, "Because I know that you definitely don't want to see them die, especially Li Yunshen."

"I've had a crush on him before. I don't want him to die. Are you so happy?" Gu Qingxin pouted again.

"You also said that in the past, you can like me now. I'm not so stingy, but I won't allow it in the future." Zhan Ji rubbed her hair and said.

It was said that Gu Qingxin had a brother who loved her so much since she was young, and he was already immune to other people's love.

However, Zhan Ji's adorable little action still made her heart flutter, and she was in a daze, a little confused.

She could not help but hug Zhan Ji with her back and lay in his arms and said gloomily, "Okay, I promise you. I'll find a way to help you leave."

"Xiner, not only you betrayed your brother, but I also want to betray my father. So, no matter what uncomfortable thoughts you have in your heart, you can tell me that I will feel it." Zhan Ji sighed as he hugged her.

Gu Qingxin nodded.

Then he said, "My brother and my sister-in-law are getting married. Maybe their wedding day will be a good opportunity. When I set it up, I can arrange for you to leave. No, we will leave together."

Zhan Ji blinked and said after a while, "Maybe you need to help someone leave."

"Ah, who else?"

"Your sister-in-law."

After Lin Meng' an left, Lin Mengwu sat alone in the room and didn't even go out to eat.

Gu Qingcheng was just back from his work, so he couldn't help but frown when he heard his servant's report.

When she came in, she looked at her thoughtfully and was stunned. Then she smiled and said, "Why, after meeting my brother, I started to be in a daze. If you look like this, I won't dare to let you see him again in the future. Otherwise, I will be heartbroken to see him unhappy once."

"Gu Qingcheng, let me ask you a question." Lin Mengwu stood up and looked at him expressionlessly.

Gu Qingcheng was stunned. This was the first time Lin Mengwu had called him by his first name.

After all, Lin Mengwu had approached him for a purpose from the beginning, but when things were revealed, there was a sense of compromise. So even if he was called Mr. Gu, he would not call him by his first name, showing disrespect.

But now she called his name directly, which showed that she was angry.

But what exactly made her so angry?

Gu Qingcheng thought about it and couldn't think of anything.

However, he nodded quietly and said calmly, "If you have anything to ask! Why are we so polite?"

"Let me ask you, did you know the purpose of our trip to the island from the beginning? Did you know Li Yunshen's identity from the beginning?" Lin Mengwu questioned.

"Who told you, Lin Meng' an?" Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows.

Lin Mengwu said angrily, "It seems that what Ann said is true. It turns out that from the beginning to the end, we are like a group of fools, fooled by you under your nose."

"Wu, don't be so excited. You can't say that. I didn't force you to come here, nor did I force you to participate in this matter. This matter, after all, is voluntary. Of course, it's good to say that it was under Zhan Jian's coercion and deception. But I'm innocent. I just received the news from Zhan Jian. He's willing to send me someone from the Li Family, and I'm going to help him get revenge. We get what we need, and we make a fair deal."

"Fair trade? Do you think it's appropriate to treat a person's life as a trade?" Lin Mengwu said in shock.

Gu Qingcheng said, "Our Gu Family has been entrenched on this island for hundreds of years. To put it bluntly, we haven't done any killing or illegal business. Many people are jealous of our island and want to replace it. But why do we, the Gu Family, still keep it, relying on kindness? I won't hide it from you. In my eyes, human life is really nothing. If it is a crisis to the interests of our Gu Family, I will not hesitate to take action. But I am not looking at human life as grass, and I still don't want to have too much blood on my hands if possible. But Zhan Jian promised me the benefits and promised that he would support me strongly when I return home for development. In this case, I have to agree to the deal with him."

"But the li family won't let you go of how Li Yunshen died in your hands," Lin Mengwu said coldly.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "Indeed, if the eldest son of the Li Family master died in my hands, he did form a layer of hatred with the li family. But Li Yunshen broke up with his parents for you many years ago. And it wasn't me who went out to kill him, it was he who insisted on dying on this island. All the li family knew that this island could not be entered, but he just barged in. Even if the Li Family resented me, they couldn't blame me. At most, they hated Zhan Jian."

"But if you dare to touch him, I won't live alone. Since you know that he broke up with his family for me back then, you can imagine what I would do for him." Lin Mengwu looked at him and said firmly.

Gu Qingcheng frowned and looked at her with deep eyes, which revealed dissatisfaction.

"Wu, do you have to do this? You were separated from him for ten years. Haven't you softened your feelings for him in these ten years? Don't forget, he was also the son of the murderer who indirectly killed your parents."
