Chapter 429: Chapter 430 Three Cobbler Craftsmen
Surpass Zhuge Liang
He has been living a life worse than death for a long time, to him, death was a release.
The only thing he worrisomely cared about were his descendants.
Ye Xingbei is a girl and girls tend to be soft-hearted.
Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei were very fond of their long-lost younger sister Ye Xingbei, as long as Ye Xingbei would promise to spare his son, Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei would definitely agree.
Xie Jinfei held Ye Xingbei, not allowing her to speak. He directly fired back: “You are a heartless, subhuman creature. What love are you talking about? You’ve done so many egregious things; it would be far too kind of a fate for you to die with your eyes open! You deserve to be dismembered and tortured, then go straight to hell after death!”
Jiang Lin curled up in pain, consciousness blurring at the edges.
He kept calling Ye Xingbei’s name in a shaky voice: “Beibei… Beibei… You and I are grandparent and grandchild… I’ve cherished and protected you… Before I die, I only have one request, spare your Uncle… Beibei… Please spare your Uncle…”
His voice got weaker and weaker.
His hand stubbornly reached out in Ye Xingbei’s direction.
He had a plan before he came.
If things came to a point of no return, he would commit suicide in front of Ye Xingbei and the others.
Girls are soft-hearted, they probably wouldn’t bear seeing him die with his eyes open, surely they would agree to his dying request.
But he miscalculated.
He didn’t receive any promise from Ye Xingbei.
He stared in the direction of Ye Xingbei, his eyes wide open, as he had said, dying with his eyes open.
Gu Junzhu drew Ye Xingbei into his arms, and pressed her head against his chest, not letting her watch.
He committed suicide by poison and died, bleeding from every orifice of his body.
The death scene was indeed not very pleasant to look at.
Ye Xingbei’s body stiffened for a moment, she lifted her arms and held onto Gu Junzhu’s waist, burying her face deeply into his chest, her body trembling.
Gu Junzhu bowed his head and kissed her hair, comforting her with the palm of his hand against her back: “It’s okay… just a beast that’s dead, nothing to be scared of…”
“I’m not scared…” Ye Xingbei’s voice trembled. She bitterly said: “It’s just… it’s just so unexpected…”
She never thought that Jiang Lin would die in this way, here.
Death was so miserable, so abrupt.
Without any signs.
She thought that Jiang Lin would be their ultimate enemy, and they would have to outwit him to bring him to justice.
But maybe as he himself had said, he was too tired from living.
So as soon as his deeds were exposed, he was eagerly rushing to find release…
For what would follow, Gu Junzhu did not let Ye Xingbei participate.
He handed everything over to Xie Yunlin and his men, and together with Ye Xingbei, they left the villa to pick up Xiao Shumiao.
When it was time to pick them up from school, Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao were ready.
In the car, Ye Xingbei was deeply pale, lost in her thoughts.
Gu Junzhu took her into his arms, soothing her over and over again: “Don’t think about it, he got what he deserved. As for the rest of the things, let your brothers handle it. ‘Three cobblers make a Zhuge Liang’, those four will definitely handle it well!”
Ye Xingbei leaned into Gu Junzhu’s embrace, with her eyes closed in exhaustion, “I’m okay… it’s just… just too sudden… I haven’t adapted… Jiang Lin was a murderer, I thought he would be aggressive and tough to deal with. I never expected… he would die so easily…”
“He was old, and this merciless man raised a merciless son,” Gu Junzhu gently stroked her hair, “He was cruel, but Jiang Zhengxing was even more vicious than him. Jiang Lin, despite his cruelty, always took care of his son and planned everything for him. Yet Jiang Zhengxing found him a nuisance, eager for him to die soon, so he could take his place..”
