Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

The little body in his embrace suddenly slid down in his arms and Gu Mohan’s handsome facial features became serious in an instant. His strong arms swiftly caught hold of her slender waist before she fell to the ground.

He looked down at Tang Mo’er. Her eyes were tightly shut, and there were copious amounts of blood streaming out beneath her fair nose.

Thud. The big, red apple fell onto the carpet. Gu Mohan’s black eyes narrowed, wanting to stroke her bloodied little face with his hand, but not daring to touch her.

His thin lips moved and it was only then that he realized his own voice was quivering and laced with panic and fear. “Mo’er! Mo’er, what’s wrong? Answer me, Mo’er!”

By then, Tang Mo’er had already sunk into unconsciousness and was unable to answer him.

Gu Mohan’s large hand held her slender waist tightly and continued to grip her even more tightly. She would be fine. She would surely be fine!

He would save her!

He stretched out his large hand to wipe the blood under her nose, but each time he wiped, fresh blood would stream out again. The fresh blood triggered his sight, and there was a hint of red in his pupils.

“Mo’er! Mo’er!”

The veins in Gu Mohan’s forehead were throbbing.

Suddenly, the main door to the apartment opened and a few people entered. At the forefront was Lu Jinwen, followed by Lu Yan, and following at the back was… Master Miao Gu.

Master Miao Gu had finally arrived.

Gu Mohan raised his reddened face to look at the group who just arrived. His eyes lit up when he saw Master Miao Gu. Picking up Tang Mo’er, he ran towards Master Miao Gu, his eyes red and filled with anxiety. “Save her, quick save her! Save my wife!”

Everyone saw the maniacal state Gu Mohan was in. It was as if he was possessed.

In the room.

Tang Mo’er was placed on the soft, large bed. Master Miao Gu took out a bottle with a worm inside.

“The poison has already entered the patient’s bloodstream and there are no medicines that can save her. This is a worm from the Miao Tribe. Only this worm can save her, because this type of worm can suck the poison out.”

Gu Mohan’s red, narrow eyes revealed a tinge of hope. “Then let’s start now. We’ll have the worm suck the poison out.”

Master Miao Gu shook his head. “Listen to me, things are not as simple as that. There is no worm in this world that can resist such a strong poison. This worm is the Miao Gu worm, it has been prepared into a Gu poison 1 . That’s why it can suck poison out. But, rather than saying it sucks out the poison from a person, it actually transfers the poison to another person. Using a life to save a life. This is the concept behind Miao Gu.”

Using a life to save a life.

This Miao Gu worm could suck the poison out from Tang Mo’er’s body and save her life, but another life had to be sacrificed in return.

“Master, if this poison were to transfer to another person, would this person be incurable?” Lu Yan asked.

Master Miao Gu shook his head. “There are no medicines to save the patient as the poison has already entered her bloodstream. However, if this poison is transferred to another person’s body, I have a way to save him. This is the ‘Love Poison’, which is the world’s most lethal poison. The toxicity of the ‘Love Poison’ and the love pea poison are in natural opposition to each other. Because of this, we can use one poison to counter the other poison. That means we just need someone to consume this ‘Love Poison’ and we can proceed with our plan.”

Master Miao Gu was holding another tube. In his hands, there was a small portion of red liquid in the tube. So this was the so-called ‘Love Poison’.

The love pea poison in Tang Mo’er’s body had already entered her bloodstream. Even if the poison had not entered her bloodstream, she was still unable to resist this ‘Love Poison’ due to her weak constitution.

That meant the only thing they could do was to use the Miao Gu worm to transfer the poison away from her.

Gu Mohan looked at Tang Mo’er, who was lying on the bed. Her delicate face was so pale that it was almost translucent. Even her breathing had become weaker. From one glance, anyone could tell she was at the brink of death.

Reaching out without further hesitation, Gu Mohan took the ‘Love Poison’ from Master Miao Gu’s hand.

“President Gu, you have to consider carefully,” Lu Jinwen suddenly said.

Lu Yan knitted his brows. “President Gu, the ‘Love Poison’ is the world’s most lethal poison. A typical person will not be able to survive it. If you manage to survive it, then you can take on the love pea poison. But you should consider the possibility that you may lose your life from the ‘Love Poison’.

Gu Mohan glanced down at the ‘Love Poison’. He wanted to use his life to save Mo’er’s.

But before he could save Mo’er, he needed to consume this poison.

It was true that there was a possibility that he could be poisoned to death before he could save Mo’er.

Gu Mohan’s handsome face did not reveal any emotions. His thin lips curved slightly and he said in a low voice. “It’s precisely because the ‘Love Poison’ is not what a typical person can withstand. That’s why I have to be the one to take it. I will save Mo’er.”

He would not let Mo’er die, and because of that, he would withstand the ‘Love Poison’.

This would require an indomitable will to live and absolute faith. It required the power of love.

Only he could save Mo’er.

Others could not do it. Only he could do it.

Master Miao Gu nodded. “Mr Gu is indeed the right person to do this. However, Mr Gu, I need to remind you. The ‘Love Poison’ has some side effects that cannot be ignored.”

“What side effects?” Gu Mohan looked at Master Miao Gu.

“‘Love Poison’ is given to lovers who are in love. And so when the effect of the poison happens, one will feel unusually terrible. The ‘Love Poison’ will take away the love in one’s heart and cause one to forget about love.”

Cause one to forget about love.

Which meant to… forget about one’s beloved.

Only by forgetting about love, could he survive the poison.

Gu Mohan’s black eyes contracted severely. He looked down at Tang Mo’er, who was on the bed. How could he bear to forget her?

To save her, but to forget her.

To forget them.

He gazed at her for a long time, then said in a low voice, “I understand. Let’s get started.”

At night.

Yan Dong arrived at the Champagne Apartments. Knock knock. He pushed open the study room door. “President, were you looking for me?”

Gu Mohan was standing tall in the room. When he moved his lips, his expression was serious. “Yan Dong, I have a task for you.”

“President, what is it?”

“Mo’er and I have not registered for marriage. After I take this poison, it is very likely that I will forget her. And so, please help me register our marriage.”

With the registration of the marriage, she would be his wife in the eyes of the law.

Even if he forgot her, they would still be together.

Based on his character, the woman he chose to register marriage with would be the woman that he had chosen for life.

This was his last and most well-thought-out arrangement that he could make.

Yan Dong nodded respectfully. “Understood, President. I will proceed with your instructions.”

Yan Dong walked out of the main door of the apartment. When he got downstairs, he whipped out his cell phone and telephoned his assistant. “Hello, I…”

Yan Dong did not complete his sentence, as he saw a long commercial luxury car had slowly come to a halt ahead.

The backseat window of the luxury car rolled down slowly, revealing an elderly but shrewd face. It was Old Master Gu.

Yan Dong’s cell phone fell onto the floor.

In the room.

Gu Mohan stretched out his well-defined fingers to roll up his sleeve. After he inserted the long needle into his arm, the red colored poison began trickling into his body.
