Chapter 33: The Flame of Anger

Although Long Jianfei had vaguely guessed something, he was still incredibly shocked to hear his wife's words. "Why? Why would Yuyuan do this? What on earth is going on?"

Yan Yalan gave a bitter laugh. "You still dare to ask why? All of this is thanks to you!"

Long Jianfei felt very wronged. "What did I do?"

"I'm going all out today; I want a divorce from you!" Yan Yalan said resolutely.

The courtyard fell into an instant silence. Long Jianfei could not believe his wife's words, and the room where Long Yuyuan was located also became deathly quiet.

"Why is my brother silent? Could he be in danger? Hurry and find a way to open the door!" Long Qinglan shouted anxiously, attempting to ram the door open to save her brother.

"Son..." Yan Yalan was also in a panic, trying to strike the door, but it didn't budge at all.

With a loud bang, Lin Yu appeared at the doorway, having arrived at some point, and kicked the door open. Long Yuyuan was seen lying face down on the floor, looking completely lifeless.

"Son..." Yan Yalan cried, wanting to rush over, but she was blocked by Lin Yu.

"You cannot get close; his body is covered in Gu poison," Lin Yu said sternly, blocking everyone outside the door.

He set down his medicine box and took out a silver needle, lightly piercing it into the back of Long Yuyuan's neck. When the needle was pulled out, it was stained with black toxins.

Seeing this, Yan Yalan collapsed to the ground in terror, while Long Jianfei was at a complete loss, not knowing how to deal with this sudden turn of events.

Long Jianfei had sacrificed almost everything for his son; he had pinned all his hopes on Long Yuyuan, viewing him as the key to the family's transfer of power. Long Yuyuan had been exceptionally clever since childhood and was deeply appreciated by the family elders.

"Divine Doctor Lin, please, you must save my child. Whatever you want, I am willing to pay."

Long Jianfei was filled with despair. Even without knowing Lin Yu's true intentions, he was prepared to sacrifice everything to save his son's life.

Facing this heavy scene, the silver needles in Lin Yu's hands inserted into Long Yuyuan's body as accurately as raindrops, his voice steady and calm:

"This is an extremely rare Mother-Child Gu. It follows a cruel law of survival: if the child lives, the mother dies; if the mother lives, the child dies."

Hearing this, Yan Yalan could not help but be overcome with grief, tears streaming from her eyes.

Long Jianfei also felt a chill crawl up his heart, trembling as he asked, "Is there any hope?"

"There is hope," Lin Yu said firmly, then turned his gaze toward Yan Yalan:

"Although this Gu is dangerous, the method to remove it is simple and direct. As long as the mother is willing to cut off a piece of flesh and offer it to the son, this crisis can be resolved. Just a small piece of flesh, placed in his mouth, and after a moment, the Gu insect will transfer itself."

Time was tight and the situation was urgent. Lin Yu quickly pulled out the silver needles and gently flipped Long Yuyuan's body over.

At this moment, Long Yuyuan's face was purple, his eyes wide open, as if filled with endless fear.

Lin Yu frowned and reminded her, "Make your decision quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Yan Yalan did not hesitate. Ignoring the gasps and objections of those around her, she broke free from Long Qinglan, who was trying to stop her, and resolutely placed her hand into her son's mouth.

As the sharp pain struck, Yan Yalan's face turned pale, but she did not flinch.

Lin Yu acted quickly, using a new silver needle to seal Yan Yalan's wrist to slow the pain and prevent further injury.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense to the extreme; everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the result.

A few minutes later, at Lin Yu's command, Yan Yalan pulled back her hand, which had already turned black and purple; there was a small hole in her palm from which black blood was flowing.

The room was filled with a foul odor that was unbearable.

Although the process was heart-stopping, everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Mother-Child Gu successfully removed.

This moment was not only a respect for life but also a testament to the power of maternal love.

Lin Yu sighed softly, his tone full of regret: "I'm afraid this hand can no longer be used." The silver needle in his hand turned, picking out from the blood hole two centipedes, one large and one small, pitch black as ink.

The onlookers only then noticed the uninvited guests on the silver needle and could not help but gasp.

Yan Yalan's gaze fell on the pair of centipedes, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of her mouth. "As long as Yuyuan is fine, any price I pay is worth it!"

Before her words had even faded, she stood up. Although her figure swayed slightly, her eyes were exceptionally firm as she looked straight at Long Jianfei. "Long Jianfei, we are going to handle the divorce papers tomorrow."

Long Jianfei stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, completely unable to understand why things had developed to this point.

"Why?" his voice carried confusion.

"You still have the face to ask why? Have you forgotten the crime from twenty-five years ago?" Yan Yalan's voice trembled with anger.

Long Jianfei opened his mouth to speak but was left speechless.

Yan Yalan did not give him a chance, continuing to reveal the secret hidden for many years:

"That year, you took advantage of me while I was drunk and assaulted me. The Yan family was weak at the time, and in order not to make an enemy of the Long family, I had to marry you. But my heart never surrendered. I wanted to take revenge on you. That is why I had Yuyuan with someone else; he is not your son, haha..."

A deathly silence fell. Everyone's eyes were focused on them, listening in disbelief to this shocking past. Long Jianfei felt the world spinning; the world in his heart had collapsed.

"Whose son? Tell me, I will..." Long Jianfei was full of rage.

"He is Long Zhiping's son; how dare you lay a finger on him?" Yan Yalan's laughter was mixed with sarcasm. "By seniority, Yuyuan is your youngest cousin!"

Long Jianfei clutched his chest as if he had received a heavy blow. Yan Yalan's smile gradually faded, replaced by deep sorrow.

"Three months ago, Long Zhiping returned, and when I was talking to him, Yuyuan overheard the truth. Afterward, he had a huge argument with me, and then I fell ill."

Long Qinglan could not accept this fact. Her parents' marriage seemed perfect; how could it suddenly become like this? "This cannot be true, I don't believe it," she muttered to herself, wanting to deny it all.

Reality was hard to accept; her father had actually committed such despicable acts.

And she, as the result of these sordid acts, felt her world collapsing.

"Yuyuan put a Gu on me; he threatened to kill me," Yan Yalan said, filled with despair, confessing to Long Jianfei.

Long Jianfei stared at Long Yuyuan, who was lying on the ground, flames of anger burning in his eyes.

"I will kill you all, I must kill you all..." He thought time had washed everything away, thinking his wife's performance of serving her husband and teaching her children over the years meant the past pain had been forgotten.

However, he had not expected that Yan Yalan would choose to avenge his betrayal in such a way; their son was actually the child of his second uncle, Long Zhiping.

And Long Zhiping now held a prominent position in Jingcheng and was the Long family's strongest backing.

"You cannot do this." Lin Yu appeared behind Long Jianfei at the right moment, using a silver needle to strike his acupoint, rendering him unable to move. ===== CHAPTER 34 =====
