Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Zhen Jie: I Want Them Dead!
Such a Gu Jin left Zhen Jie dumbfounded.
He was somewhat curious about whom Gu Jin was talking to, who could make her so gentle.
As if sensing Zhen Jie’s gaze, the gentleness on Gu Jin’s face diminished a bit.
She looked at him with a smile, her voice faint: "How are you feeling today?"
"My leg has gained some strength. I don’t need Linda’s support; I can walk a distance on my own."
Gu Jin nodded privately: "That’s pretty effective. Soak for another three days, and your leg should be almost recovered. However, to get back to the point where you can run and jump, it’ll take more time to rest."
Zhen Jie couldn’t hide the smile on his face after hearing this.
He lowered his eyes, staring at the gradually recovering right leg, full of anticipation.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhen Jie was grateful to Gu Jin.
The life he thought was ruined opened its doors to him again.
All of this was because of Gu Jin.
Gu Jin placed her phone on the table, lazily leaning on the sofa.
She asked casually, "Your leg is almost healed, what’s your plan next?"
This question made Zhen Jie freeze with a complicated expression on his face, uncertain whether it was hatred or powerlessness.
"How are the Qin siblings now?"
Gu Jin casually played with a strand of her hair, her tone light and indifferent: "They’re still alive, but they’re almost at their last breath."
Although she had an indifferent attitude towards the Zhen Family.
The fact that they had severely injured Zhen Jie ultimately left her unhappy.
"I want them dead!" Zhen Jie said fiercely.
Being young still couldn’t hide his emotions.
The twisted, grim hatred in Zhen Jie’s eyes, if seen by others, may be considered freakish or insane.
But Gu Jin could understand him.
In a past life, she had also been trapped in the mire, hated and resented, and the feeling of helplessness was indescribable to those who’ve never experienced it.
Gu Jin nodded gently to Zhen Jie: "Alright, but Qin Zhenzhen has a child. I feel she can be spared, but Qin Zihao must die!"
With a few words, Gu Jin determined death for the one who caused the death of her second sister.
Zhen Jie looked at her with gratitude: "Thank you."
"You’re welcome!"
Gu Jin stood up, hands in her pockets, looking down at Zhen Jie.
She asked, "Qin Zihao will die, and Liu Bochang won’t live either. Once the enemies are dealt with, what do you plan to do?"
Zhen Jie’s face fell into confusion.
He had never thought about this question.
For the past few months, his mind was filled with killing his enemies and avenging his second sister.
"You have three days to consider. If you have any thoughts, you can tell me. With the same blood running through us, I can lend you a hand."
Zhen Jie wanted to ask, what about Mom and Dad? You share their blood too.
After this incident, could you return to the Zhen Family and take charge?
However, facing Gu Jin’s indifferent and cold expression, Zhen Jie swallowed his words.
He expressed gratitude quietly: "Thank you."
Gu Jin nodded modestly and walked out of the living room to the pond in the courtyard, finding Duoduo playing and running around.
"Woof woof..."
Seeing Gu Jin appear, Duoduo wagged his tail, barking joyfully as he ran towards her.
Inside the living room, Zhen Jie stood up and practiced leg strength exercises.
He wanted to recover quickly.
And to plan his way ahead properly.
The Zhen Family was already completely finished. The family business had plummeted, and they even owed a ton of debt.
Once he returned, he might have to drop out of school.
He’s currently enrolled in Beijing High School, where the annual tuition and living expenses are tens of thousands, which the family couldn’t afford due to the drastic changes.
Zhen Jie walked slowly to the window.
This youth, who should be full of vigor, was instead filled with desolation, his eyes seeming unable to dissolve the sorrow.
Looking at Gu Jin playing with the wolf-sized White Wolf in the courtyard, Zhen Jie had a flicker of expectation in his gaze.
He didn’t know why Gu Jin treated him differently.
Yes, differently; he could sense it.
But Zhen Jie was also aware of Gu Jin’s indifferent attitude toward Mom and Dad, not treating them as family, but as strangers.
He was also part of the Zhen Family, with Zhen Jie’s blood, yet Gu Jin treated him well.
Though not as good as the person Gu Jin had just been on the phone with, it was enough for him to benefit.
Zhen Jie didn’t know what Gu Jin saw in him, but he’ll remember her kindness.
"Young Master Zhen, you should rest now."
Linda approached, firmly supporting Zhen Jie to rest.
Hearing her voice, Zhen Jie’s mouth twitched slightly.
This woman’s strength is greater than his.
And her actions are very assertive.
Recalling how Linda had effortlessly picked him up, Zhen Jie didn’t even have the courage to resist, obediently going along to rest.
...
Time swept by, and another three days passed.
Zhen Jie’s leg had recovered, though he still walked with a limp and needed ten days to half a month to fully restore it.
The medicinal bath Gu Jin gave him was basically water from the spatial spring.
She diluted the water with the marrow-cleansing spring, but very little of it.
Even though she wanted to help Zhen Jie.
She didn’t trust him completely.
If she healed Zhen Jie’s leg all at once, it might cause other troubles later.
Gu Jin used a week to heal Zhen Jie’s leg injury.
This would neither be too miraculous nor inhibit her efforts these days in investigating the Zhen Family’s business issues.
Zhen Family was in the laundry detergent, soap, and shampoo business, thriving in the past two years, but now it was thoroughly doomed.
To connect with the Qin Family, Zhen Family spent lavishly, even borrowing bank loans.
Moreover, the Liu Family approached Zhen Jie for a loan during this period.
Zhen Youzhi, for reasons unknown, even when broke, mortgaged the house and factory to borrow money for the Liu Family.
Now the Zhen Family has lost everything.
Gu Jin gazed ahead, as Zhen Jie stepped into the local government office, looking at him sympathetically.
This kid probably still doesn’t know, he might lose his home after today.
Today’s the day Gu Jin brought Zhen Jie to watch Qin Zihao’s execution.
It’s also the day when Zhen Jie’s leg injury heals and he prepares to return home.
With their house mortgaged to the bank, they can’t even pay the interest, and the bank has sent people to repossess the house, giving the Zhen Family a final deadline.
They’re given three days to move out, and tonight is the last deadline.
Zhen Jie walked into the local government office, standing outside the glass window of the execution site.
He didn’t know the Zhen Family’s dire predicament, standing outside the glass window, his eyes fixed on the events inside the room.
Inside, two law enforcement officers were restraining Qin Zihao, pronouncing something aloud.
Qin Zihao no longer had any former glory; his face was bruised, his body emaciated, and there wasn’t the slightest sparkle in his eyes.
