Chapter 410: Lin Shutong Bites Gu Zhiyan

After Lin Shutong learned that the person who reported her grandfather was Gu Yinxue, she bit the piece of paper bite by bite, as if she were biting Gu Yinxue.

She schemed against countless men, schemed against the Shen Family, schemed against Jiang Lai, and ended up falling into the hands of a seemingly fragile Gu Yinxue.

Previously she and Gu Yinxue had little interaction; they only exchanged greetings when Gu Zhiyan was present. When did that change?

It seems that during last winter's cold months, after Jiang Lai's matter got involved, Gu Yinxue became enthusiastic, even began matchmaking her with Gu Zhiyan, hired a lawyer for her, covered for her before Gu Zhiyan, aligned with her, all under the pretense of doing it for her "brother" Gu Zhiyan.

In fact, Gu Zhiyan is not her brother at all.

Gu Yinxue turned out not to be a member of the Gu family, but an impostor!

And Jiang Lai is the real one.

Jiang Lai is actually a member of the Gu family; how lucky she is!

No wonder Gu Yinxue wanted to align with her—it was to use her against Jiang Lai.

So was Meng Lü, who was forced speechless at the trial, also pre‑directed by Gu Yinxue?

If there had been no report, she would have returned the money to Jiang Lai, vanished for a while, perhaps moved to another city or country to hide, let the affairs involving Shen Xun and Jiang Lai dissipate, recover from her illness, and remain the dazzling Lin Shutong—how could she have ended up in a prison jumpsuit squatting in a cell!

At this moment Lin Shutong's hatred toward Gu Yinxue has peaked, but she cannot get out; she can only keep crying injustice, demanding an appeal, telling the prison guard that her attempted murder was incited by Gu Yinxue, hoping an appeal will overturn the verdict.

She didn't wait to learn whether an appeal was possible, but Gu Zhiyan arrived.

When the guard told her someone was coming to visit, Lin Shutong froze, frowned, and asked who it was.

Having eaten poorly, slept poorly, and undergoing re‑education during the day for the past two days, under both mental and physical pressure, Lin Shutong now resembles a quiet mad dog.

The guard said she'd find out once she went.

From a distance she saw Gu Zhiyan dressed in a full suit.

"Gu Zhiyan?" Lin Shutong felt a flicker of hope, thinking he had come to take her away; but upon approaching and seeing his dark, sullen face, that hope vanished, especially after his series of questions.

He questioned her about those sordid affairs with Shen Xun: whether the "Zhi San Dang San" rumor was true, whether she swindled Shen Xun out of nearly two hundred million, whether she lived a debauched life abroad, and about the accidentally aborted child…

The hearing irritated Lin Shutong.

She saw that, like Shen Xun, Gu Zhiyan's gaze toward her was already filled with disgust.

Lin Shutong returned the disgusted stare and retorted, "What? Gu Yinxue never told you any of this? She was present throughout my trial, saw everything clearly, yet she told you nothing?"

Gu Zhiyan already knows that Gu Yinxue concealed these matters from him.

But he doesn't understand why Lin Shutong, having erred herself, harbors such hostility toward Yinxue.

He suppressed his anger and asked, "So you admit all these things? The child in your womb is the result of you taking medicine and blaming Shen Xun, you've been living a debauched life abroad, and you even contracted a disease!"

Mentioning the disease makes Gu Zhiyan feel nauseated, wishing he were eight hundred meters away from her.

If he didn't want to hear Lin Shutong say it herself, he would never have set foot here.

Staring at Gu Zhiyan's disgusted expression, Lin Shutong gave a cold smile, "Another one, you find me disgusting, huh?"

When a guard momentarily looked away, Lin Shutong climbed onto the table, knelt, leaned close to Gu Zhiyan, bit his lip with full force, and when the guard pulled her away, Gu Zhiyan's mouth was already bleeding.

Lin Shutong looked at the wound on his mouth and laughed, "If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be as disgusting as I am from now on."

Gu Zhiyan's complexion drained of color, turning pale, his whole body trembling.

He wiped his hand, turned to leave, intending to go to the Epidemic Prevention Center for a blocking drug!

Seeing Gu Zhiyan about to leave, Lin Shutong continued, "Gu Zhiyan, it was your so‑called sister Gu Yinxue who reported my grandfather!"

"She used me to go after Jiang Lai! Used me to kill Jiang Lai! I heard Jiang Lai is actually your real sister, right?"

"You guess why the last medical report I gave you had no issues? Gu Yinxue had me forge it; she's always covered for me!"

"You guess why! Gu Zhiyan, Gu Zhiyan, you find me disgusting yet claim you're so good—doesn't Gu Yinxue also use you? Doesn't she also push someone like me toward you?"

This time the guard didn't take Lin Shutong away; someone had been scheduled to, but another guard said visiting hours weren't up yet, allowing Lin Shutong to shout wildly at Gu Zhiyan's retreating back.

Gu Zhiyan's steps were fast, even a little staggering.

He cannot become infected.

The disease is contagious.

He calmly told himself that a prompt injection at the Epidemic Prevention Center would prevent infection, that timely intervention would surely stop transmission, yet Lin Shutong's voice kept echoing in his ears.

Each sentence felt like a spell circling him.

Yinxue…

It was Gu Yinxue who blinded him, Gu Yinxue and Lin Shutong who deceived him.

Why did it turn out this way?

But Gu Yinxue didn't say that.

Yet Gu Yinxue's concealment is a fact.

What else did Lin Shutong say? Gu Zhiyan's mind buzzed.

Lin Shutong also said it was Ji Lao's report that Gu Yinxue filed, and that Gu Yinxue wrote the letter.

Gu Yinxue also incited Lin Shutong to go after Jiang Lai…

Jiang Lai is actually his real sister…

Gu Zhiyan's head felt like it would explode, his left and right brains battling; he got into the car, quickly navigated to the Epidemic Prevention Center for testing and injection.

While driving, he recalled how Lin Shutong had lunged at him as if reckless, opened her mouth and bit his lip, drawing blood—did her saliva get on his wound?

Gu Zhiyan's hands and neck bulged with blue veins; staring at the red light ahead, he hammered the horn anxiously.

Honking is prohibited in the city.

He was frantic, even though he knew the drug could block infection within seventy‑two hours, he was still burning with impatience.

Soon the incident of Gu Zhiyan's prison visit to Lin Shutong reached Ke Zhongyu's ears.

Assistant Zhou pushed up his glasses and smiled, "Lin Shutong not only exposed all the things Gu Yinxue did, but also, while the guard wasn't looking, bit Gu Zhiyan; Gu Zhiyan is now rushing to the Epidemic Prevention Center for his injection."

Ke Zhongyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "She bit Gu Zhiyan? Where?"

Assistant Zhou pointed to his mouth, "One of the most infection‑prone spots."

Ke Zhongyu didn't expect Lin Shutong to do such a feat.

Assistant Zhou continued: "If Gu Zhiyan gets infected, the physical exam will be held up; I guess the Qu family won't marry into the Gu family either."

The Gu family is gradually declining; marriage alliances are the best way for them to consolidate power and maintain the status quo.

Ke Zhongyu offered no comment on this, only urging: "Don't let A Lai know that I'm the one behind this."

Assistant Zhou wasn't surprised.

Ke Zhongyu: "She said I'm a good person."

Assistant Zhou smiled: "Understood."
