Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 479 The Beginning of Everything (A Side Story for This Life)

Xie Gui didn't know why he had to put aside his work at the company that day and personally go to the funeral to discuss a project that was not even on the Xie Group's project plan.

For the rest of his life, he was grateful that he had protected his child at that time.

From the first moment Xie Gui met Gu Yao, he knew that this person could easily sway his emotions.

He never expected that Gu Yao would be so bold as to use herself as bait.

He was heartbroken and angry.

He wanted to question the boy about why he did this.

If the boy hadn't taken the initiative, the family wouldn't have been able to take him away at all.

Gu Yao also took the initiative to cut off contact.

After a moment's thought, he naturally understood what Gu Yao was thinking.

How could Gu Yao dare?

Using oneself as bait?

No matter how anxious Xie Gui was, he could only try to calm himself down.

He didn't believe in gods or Buddhas, but at this moment he could only beg for divine protection.

He even began to regret acquiescing to the boy's relentless pressure on the family.

Gu Yao did it on purpose, relentlessly pressuring them like he was toying with a pet, and then using himself as bait to ensure they had no chance of turning the tables.

Three days, three full days.

His friend A Yao has disappeared without a trace.

Even the police officers overseeing the case said there was a high chance he might not survive.

Xie Gui didn't believe it. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was rough. "Find it!"

Whether he lives or dies, he will always bring A-Yao home.

The leather shoes made a dull thud as they landed on the wooden stairs.

Gu Yao barely managed to lift his head and look at the person standing against the light—Gu Yan.

With an impeccable smile on his lips, he turned and closed the door, blocking out the light from the outside world.

Cool fingertips brushed against the boy's delicate features, and the demon murmured, "A-Yao, why are you being naughty?"

Gu Yao glanced away in disgust and refused to communicate with him.

Gu Yan, however, revealed a pleased smile.

He reached out and grabbed a pair of handcuffs, cuffing the boy and completely restricting his movements.

"Since A-Yao is disobedient, then don't blame me."

Gu Yan walked to the side and started a machine.

With all four limbs restrained, Gu Yao was completely unable to move.

In the complete darkness, the sound of dripping water could be heard.

Drop after drop, it kept falling on the boy's forehead.

The boy struggled in fear, causing the chains to rattle, which only made Gu Yan more pleased.

He crouched down, his fingers gently stroking Gu Yao's cheek. "A Yao, you've been so naughty. I'm going to punish you. This is called 'constant dripping wears away a stone.' Tell me, if this water keeps dripping, will it be able to smash a hole in your head?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yao seemed to have imagined that scene, and a low laugh escaped his throat.

That sounds wonderful.

He gently patted the boy's cheek, his deep voice falling on Gu Yao's ear, "My dear cousin, welcome to hell!"

Gu Yan stood up, raised the flashlight in his hand, and looked down at the disheveled boy on the ground, like a compassionate pastor, with a sticky English phrase on his lips.

Good night!

It sounded like whispers between lovers.

The door opened, letting in a sliver of light, then closed again.

The angel, with broken wings, suffers punishment alone in the abyss.

----

Xie Gui saw Gu Yao again at dusk that day. When the police broke down the door, he rushed up to the attic despite being advised against it. Xie Gui saw Gu Yao huddled in a corner.

The narrow staircase prevented him from standing upright, and the boy lay lifelessly in the dark corner.

His entire face was covered in water stains, and his already pale complexion looked particularly eerie at this moment.

If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of the chest, one would really think this was a corpse.

Police officers and medical personnel rushed in and cut all the shackles off the boy's limbs, then conducted a preliminary examination.

The moment Xie Gui truly embraced Gu Yao, his nose tingled, and he felt an urge to cry.

His Ah Yao.

His child.

Nothing.

People who have been locked up for four days are often taken aback when suddenly someone hugs them.

He blinked, somewhat unaccustomed to the sudden bright light.

Tears streamed down his face as the fear of being swallowed by darkness belatedly rose in his heart. He spoke uncertainly, "Brother Xie?"

The person holding him tightened their arms even more, and a choked voice came, "I'm here, A-Yao, I'm here."

Gu Yao grabbed the lifeline in front of her, her voice trembling, "Xie Gui, it's so dark, I'm scared..."

A large hand stroked the wet hair, as if to comfort the boy, but the trembling of his shoulders told Gu Yao that the man was afraid.

Xie Gui is crying.

He awkwardly raised his hand and patted Xie Gui's back somewhat clumsily.

His heart ached so badly that it made his throat feel tight, and he couldn't speak. In the end, he could only manage to squeeze out a dry, labored sentence.

"Don't cry, I'm fine."

Those watching from the sidelines, seeing Gu Yao comforting Xie Gui, were momentarily confused about who was actually the one who had been kidnapped.

Xie Gui seemed to have PTSD, clinging tightly to Gu Yao and refusing to let go.

His silver-gray eyes were bloodshot, his under-eye area was dark and swollen, his beard was unkempt, and even his clothes were the same set that Gu Yao had personally picked out for him four days ago.

He looked disheveled and unkempt.

This was the first time Gu Yao had ever seen such a custom of gratitude.

Gu Yao had no regrets when he was tormented by Gu Yan, but now he began to doubt the correctness of his choice.

Shouldn't he have been more radical?

This idea was amplified when Xie Gui became more persistent and there were more people tracking and recording him.

He allowed Xie Gui to cross the line.

He allowed Xie Gui to protect him completely.

A hungry wolf donned human skin and begged for the mercy of angels.

The angel could see right through it, but pretended not to know and indulged it.

It's just a hungry wolf; it can be tamed.

Give them a little something sweet, and they'll always behave.

A skilled animal trainer revels in the pleasure of taming wild beasts.

Even if the price is his own.
