Chapter 284 I want to kill him, you hand me the knife.

Chapter 284 I want to kill him, you hand me the knife.

A chill ran through Jiang Ruan's heart.

If someone goes to such lengths just because a child can't swim, wouldn't they be even more outrageous in other matters?

She doesn't remember things from her childhood very clearly, but she does remember that on the night she saved Huo Zhizhou, there were several adults standing by the river. She told them that someone had fallen into the water and asked them to find a way to save him.

They said, "We can't swim."

She didn't quite remember their tone of voice, only that Huo Zhizhou's cries for help grew weaker and weaker. In her anxiety, she jumped down without thinking and rescued him.

After they got ashore, two bodyguards in black came over and took Huo Zhizhou away from her.

She didn't think much of it at the time, but now she realizes that he must have been a bodyguard for the Huo family.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Gu Shixi knew she wouldn't ask casually.

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruan didn't say much, her heart filled with mixed feelings. "I can't agree to what you're saying. I'm not a psychologist, and I can't guarantee that he will recover."

“You don’t need to be fully recovered. Just stay by his side for a month, no, a week!” Gu Shixi changed the subject, knowing that Jiang Ruan’s words were promising. “After a week, leave the rest to me.”

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Shixi's eyes: "So you've agreed?"

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Gu Shixi breathed a sigh of relief, his tense heart finally calming down.

Jiang Ruan glanced towards the hospital bed and, seeing that the person was still motionless, asked, "Is he so insistent on his promise because Huo Cheng and the others didn't keep their promise to him?"

“That’s only part of the reason.” Gu Shixi told him everything he knew. “The most important thing is that after he finished arranging Mu Ge’s funeral, he went to ask Uncle Huo why he broke his promise. They said that promises are meant to be broken, and they also told Huo Er that no one in this world can keep their promises 100%.”

Jiang Ruan didn't speak.

In a sense, vows and promises will be broken at some point in the future.

But breaking it should not come at the cost of human lives.

"Huo Er stubbornly told them he could." Gu Shixi felt a little heavy-hearted. "So when Su Anran asked him to support and take care of her because of her savior, he couldn't refuse. If he refused, Huo Cheng and the others would use his promise against him."

He understood Huo Er's thoughts, but his approach was too obsessive.

Jiang Ruan's gaze was still fixed outside, lost in thought.

Gu Shixi noticed her emotions: "Are you still bothered by the fact that he had a conflict with you because of Su Anran?"

"What do you need me to do these next few days?" Jiang Ruan asked instead of answering, her expression still rather distant.

From beginning to end, what she cared about most was not Huo Zhizhou's desire to take care of Su Anran out of gratitude, but his initial attitude and his subsequent actions of targeting and suppressing her because of Su Anran.

He never treated her as an equal.

Normal couples would discuss this with the wife and come up with a suitable solution together.

He didn't; he simply informed her of his decision and acceptance.

at this point.

She couldn't let it go.

“No need to do anything special. Just come and see him in your spare time and talk to him,” Gu Shixi said quickly. “After he wakes up, just advise him not to be too attached to his promises.”

Jiang Ruan's gaze fell on him.

Before she could speak, Gu Shixi guessed what she was going to say: "I've told Si Ning, but he won't listen."

“I will talk to him as you requested.” Jiang Ruan’s mood had been low. “But whether he listens or not is his business. After this matter is settled, I hope President Gu will keep his word.”

Gu Shixi: "Hmm?"

Jiang Ruan: "I want to kill him, hand me the knife."

Gu Shixi stared at her for a while, and considering her gentle nature, he decisively agreed: "No problem."

Jiang Ruan agreed.

A moment later.

The two walked out of the ward's rest room.

Gu Shixi glanced at Huo Zhizhou on the hospital bed, pursed his thin lips, and tentatively said, "Then I'll go out first. If anything happens, feel free to call me and Jiang Yu."

"Okay," Jiang Ruan replied.

Gu Shixi hummed in agreement and walked out.

Mo Mo and Assistant Jiang were standing at the door of the ward. When they saw him come out, they both spoke almost at the same time.

Assistant Jiang: "How did the talks go?"

Mo Mo: "Where's my boss?"

"It's alright." Gu Shixi said honestly, then looked at Mo Mo. "Your boss has some things to deal with with his boss for the time being. We will arrange accommodation for you during this period. You can return to Jingzhou after the matter is resolved."

"Miss Jiang agreed to stay?" Assistant Jiang was somewhat surprised.

Gu Shixi nodded: "Mm."

As Assistant Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, a complex expression appeared in his eyes.

Gu Shixi noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

“With Miss Jiang here, the BOSS’s condition is basically stable, and things might even get better.” Assistant Jiang, as Huo Zhizhou’s most capable assistant, knows him no less well than Gu Shixi. “But if he knows that Miss Jiang came because she knows about his past, I’m afraid…”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Shixi understood.

But there's no time to worry about that right now.

Seeing that they were speaking in riddles, Mo Mo boldly guessed: "Is he going to cross the river and then burn the bridge?"

Jiang's assistant: "That's not the case."

Mo Mo: "Will this affect my boss?"

Assistant Jiang and Gu Shixi exchanged a glance and nodded together: "Maybe."

Mo Mo: "Negative?"

Gu Shixi: "..."

Assistant Jiang pondered for a moment: "I guess so."

Mo Mo lifted her foot and walked towards the ward, her actions unusually decisive.

"What are you doing?" Gu Shixi stopped him, her eyes full of vigilance.

“I’ll send the boss back to Haicheng.” Mo Mo was a straightforward person, his mind only focused on the person who paid his salary. “As a professional bodyguard, assistant, and driver, my intuition tells me there’s something fishy going on.”

"You're overthinking it," Gu Shixi stopped him.

Mo Mo looked at his hand that was held in front of her and reminded him very seriously, "I advise you to take your hand back. I'm very strong, and I'll hurt you later."

Gu Shixi: "..."

Assistant Jiang coughed lightly: "I assure you that Miss Jiang will not be harmed in any way."

"What guarantee do you have?" Mo Mo asked.

"Character." - Assistant Jiang

Mo Mo didn't give him any face at all: "You don't."

Assistant Jiang remained polite, but he already wanted to punch someone.

Mo Mo glanced at them and said, "If you don't move aside, I'll really take action. Broken bones, broken arms and legs are within the normal range of injuries."

Gu Shixi: "???"

Assistant Jiang: "??"

A series of question marks appeared on their foreheads.

Before they could speak again, Mo Mo grabbed them by the arms and threw them aside, then strode inside.

"Bang!"

The door to the ward was closed.

Gu Shixi and Assistant Jiang just watched as he easily wiped them all out.

“Boss, we should go back to Haicheng.” Mo Mo said directly, without beating around the bush, “They plan to use you to save this person and then discard you.”

Gu Shixi and Assistant Jiang, who followed them in, were both bewildered.

When did they abandon their supporters after using them?
