Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 185 The Truth

Her eyes were icy, radiating a chilling aura: "No matter who you are, what your background or status is, I have plenty of ways to make you obediently spill the truth!"

Zhuang Changwu was also quite frightened; his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Looking at Gu Chenfeng again, his face had turned extremely pale, and a fine layer of sweat had even appeared on his forehead. But even in such a disadvantageous situation, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain calm as he retorted, "Don't even think about trying to blackmail me like this. Let me tell you, no way!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue tightened her grip even further, letting out a cold snort. "I'll say it one last time, tell me right now where Chi Xiaoyu is! Otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"

Feeling the immense pressure on his neck, Gu Chenfeng finally couldn't keep up the act. He sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Sigh...it seems that girl Chi Xiaoyu really did make a formidable friend like you..."

"Stop changing the subject!" Lin Yue was already very impatient.

"Come with me." Gu Chenfeng stood up, looking exhausted. Some things, in the end, still had to be faced.

Lin Yue and Zhuang Changwu followed closely behind Gu Chenfeng. They got into Gu Chenfeng's car.

"Senior, you're too impulsive. You just went with him like that? What if it's a trap?" Zhuang Changwu texted Lin Yue in the car.

"It's alright, don't worry." Lin Yue was cautious and didn't hesitate to speak. She wasn't afraid of anything happening; she could protect Zhuang Changwu.

The car quickly arrived at the Gu family villa. Gu Chenfeng led the two to the monitoring room. He stopped and slowly said, "Before we go in, you have to promise me one thing."

Lin Yue glared at him: "You're still trying to negotiate at a time like this?" Gu Chenfeng smiled wryly: "I just hope you won't get too agitated later."

Lin Yue frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Okay, we agree."

Gu Chenfeng turned on the surveillance camera, which was pointing directly at the basement. In the footage, Chi Shuyao carried Chi Xiaoyu out of the basement and then left the villa.

Lin Yue saw the injuries on Chi Xiaoyu's body and felt extremely distressed: "Where did they go after that? Take me to find them!"

Gu Chenfeng shook his head. "I don't know." Lin Yue grabbed Gu Chenfeng's collar angrily. "How can you not know?"

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Changwu was startled and rushed forward, grabbing Lin Yue's arm forcefully: "Senior, please calm down! Maybe he really doesn't know anything about this!"

Hearing Zhuang Changwu's words, Lin Yue's chest heaved violently. She glared fiercely at Gu Chenfeng, who had been pulled aside, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the surging anger within her. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, but her emotions had stabilized somewhat.

Gu Chenfeng looked at Lin Yue with a face full of guilt and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I know that no matter what I say now, it can't make up for my mistake, but please believe me, I will tell you everything in detail without reservation." As he spoke, he lowered his head again, not daring to look directly into their eyes.

"Hmph! What are you going to say now?" Lin Yue snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide her disgust for Gu Chenfeng.

Faced with Lin Yue's sharp gaze, Gu Chenfeng couldn't help but shiver, but he still forced himself to say, "Gentlemen, please sit down first, so we can have a proper talk." As he spoke, he pointed to the sofa not far away.

Lin Yue and Zhuang Changwu exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked to the sofa and sat down. Gu Chenfeng carefully walked around to the opposite side of them and slowly sat down.

Then, Gu Chenfeng began to recount the entire incident. From the fact that the Chi sisters had lived in his house since childhood, to how their relationship broke down due to various misunderstandings; to how he cruelly treated Chi Shuyao, and finally accidentally killed Chi Xiaoyu... every word was like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of everyone present.

As the story unfolded, Gu Chenfeng's voice grew softer and softer, his head almost touching the ground. He could clearly feel the murderous gaze emanating from directly in front of him, pressing down on him like a thousand-pound weight, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Finally, after Gu Chenfeng finished recounting the whole story, Lin Yue, who had been suppressing her anger, could no longer contain her resentment.

With a sharp "snap," Gu Chenfeng flew straight out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall behind him before sliding down it.

Lin Yue was furious, but she wasn't controlled by her anger; otherwise, Gu Chenfeng would have been smashed into a bloody mist.

"Senior, calm down!" Zhuang Changwu hurriedly grabbed her hand. He had also heard everything, and in his opinion, the slap was justified.

"Don't touch me." Lin Yue shook off Zhuang Changwu's hand. Only then did Zhuang Changwu realize that Lin Yue was already in tears.

She thought back to all the little moments she shared with Chi Xiaoyu. It turned out that meeting wasn't an apology, but a farewell…

She had been to Chi Xiaoyu's house before and knew that she had an older sister who seemed to have some mental issues. Although she had some self-care ability, her mind was like a child's, and she couldn't speak. Therefore, Chi Xiaoyu usually didn't let her sister go out, and even when she did, it was Chi Xiaoyu who took her with her.

Chi Shuyao is obedient and sensible, and she listens to Chi Xiaoyu's every word. However, the pressure Chi Xiaoyu bears is unimaginable to others. Not only does she have to cope with heavy academic workload, but she also has to squeeze out time to work part-time every weekend to earn money for her family.

Lin Yue was well aware of their family's difficult situation, so she always treated Chi Xiaoyu with great care and concern. However, that one experience became an indelible memory in Lin Yue's heart.

That day, although Chi Xiaoyu didn't do anything further to her because she was soft-hearted, she still stole her precious first kiss.

At that moment, Lin Yue felt as if her heart was being torn apart, as if her soul had been ripped out. She collapsed helplessly onto the bed, clutching her pillow tightly, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

But back then, Chi Xiaoyu had solemnly promised Lin Yue, "Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for you!" But now, the person who made that promise has broken it…

Lin Yue's mind was struck as if by lightning. Chi Xiaoyu's unfulfilled words pierced her heart like a curse, causing her so much pain that she almost suffocated.

"Why? Why did you do this to me? Why did you abandon me so easily?" Lin Yue murmured to herself, her expression dazed.

Zhuang Changwu stood silently to the side, looking at the heartbroken woman before him, his heart filled with pity and helplessness. Helplessly, he pulled a pack of tissues from his pocket, wanting to reach out and wipe the tears from Lin Yue's face, but he stopped halfway through his reach. After hesitating for a long time, he finally just gently stuffed the tissues into Lin Yue's hand.

Meanwhile, Gu Chenfeng, enduring the pain, struggled to his feet. Just then, Lin Yue suddenly turned around, glaring at him angrily, and demanded sharply, "Who killed her? Who... gave the order?"

Gu Chenfeng felt a tremor in his heart as he looked into Lin Huang's eyes, which were burning with anger. The truth that was on the tip of his tongue remained unspoken. He knew that if he revealed the truth now, given Lin Yue's current state, she would likely rush at him and fight to the death, possibly even killing him on the spot.

After a brief internal struggle, Gu Chenfeng gritted his teeth and changed his words, saying, "It was... my younger brother, Gu Yonghui, who did it." After saying this, he lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look her in the eye.

"Where is Chi Shuyao now? As a CEO, you shouldn't be unable to find even one person's whereabouts!" Zhuang Changwu asked.

"We found it, but there's been a problem..." Gu Chenfeng no longer dared to hide anything, and he pulled up a short segment of surveillance video from the other villa.
