Chapter 1014: The Cold-Hearted CEO's Resentful Butler 27

Inside the abandoned steel factory warehouse.

The people Gu Yeting had summoned arrived, and just happened to run into Jin Chen's group; they saw their employer bound tightly, his thigh pierced with a hole deep enough to see the bone, blood flowing.

They hurried forward, released Gu Yeting, and urgently sent him to a private hospital for treatment.

After the wound was treated, Gu Yeting changed clothes and returned to the old residence; the sky was already faintly light.

Gu Yeting did not return all night, still hadn't answered Bai Yunyue's calls from the whole night, didn't dare go back to the master bedroom, and went straight to his own room.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Bai Yunyue leaning against the headboard, still in her pajamas, but her slightly pale complexion proved she hadn't slept all night.

Bai Yunyue heard the sound, looked up, and immediately sat up.

"You still know how to come back."

But seeing Gu Yeting's terrible complexion, she was both worried and surprised: "What happened to you?"

"It's fine."

Gu Yeting headed straight for the bathroom, avoiding Bai Yunyue's outstretched hand.

But… he hadn't returned all night, and had changed clothes.

Such behavior was all too familiar; how could Bai Yunyue not worry?

"Are you injured?"

Bai Yunyue blocked Gu Yeting, her tone complaining: "Ah Ting!"

Gu Yeting's steps halted; the faintly aching wound made him extremely irritable.

"I said it's fine!"

Having said that, he stormed into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

"Gu Yeting! In Yingguo I have to worry about your safety, and now you're back at the old residence, yet you're still like this! Can't you behave a little?"

Bai Yunyue was also angry, scolding him with red eyes.

But separated by the bathroom door, she could only fall silent.

Bai Yunyue walked out of the bedroom, looking disheveled, and leaned on the pavilion railing to calm her emotions.

"What's this..."

A low voice brought Bai Yunyue back to her senses.

The old residence's layout consists of connected courtyard buildings; the master bedroom suites are concentrated in one building, divided by a pavilion crossing the middle.

GuJunyuan, returning from a trip, happened to pass the pavilion with a coffee in hand; seeing Bai Yunyue in that state, he was somewhat surprised.

"I'm fine."

Bai Yunyue forced a smile, but the tear tracks on her face really didn't look like she was fine.

GuJunyuan paused in place, thought for a moment, returned to his room, and shortly afterward came out holding a handkerchief; without touching Bai Yunyue, he simply placed it on the railing to hang.

"It's time for breakfast; Father will urge us."

Having said that, he turned and left, not asking further, his emotions very stable.

Bai Yunyue lowered her gaze to the handkerchief, picked it up and wiped her tears; after calming her emotions she returned to Gu Yeting's room, but before she could even open the door, she heard the conversation inside.

Gu Yeting's tone was extremely irritable, almost grinding his teeth.

"I had you investigate Jin Chen—why does the record only show he once attended a butler academy? If he's just an ordinary person, how could he use a gun!"

"Yesterday we failed to kill Gu Han; next time we succeed, who knows when that'll be!"

Bai Yunyue's breathing quickened; she instinctively gripped the door handle.

"Killing Gu Han..."

He muttered, feeling his heart clenched, and then a surge of anger rose in his chest.

Bai Yunyue flung the door open, and met the startled Gu Yeting turning around; her eyes were shocked and disappointed.

"Gu Yeting… you want… you want to kill Xiao Han, why!"

Gu Yeting was caught red‑handed, so he stopped pretending, gestured for Bai Yunyue to come over, and pulled a gentle, pitiful expression on his face.

"Honey, look at my wound."

He pulled back the blanket; the gauze on his thigh was tightly wrapped, yet blood continued to seep.

Bai Yunyue was indeed drawn to it: "What happened… why did you suffer such a serious wound?"

"Gu Han did it."

Gu Yeting said, taking Bai Yunyue's hand and pulling her into his embrace: "He drove a rebar thicker than my thumb into my thigh!"

Bai Yunyue was frightened just by the description, her fingers trembling, not daring to touch the wound, but then she thought…

"Gu Han wouldn't deliberately hurt anyone."

He withdrew his hand, stared at Gu Yeting: "What exactly did you do last night? Did you attack Xiao Han, or else… how could he have hurt you?"

The pity on Gu Yeting's face vanished, turning deathly pale; he seized Bai Yunyue's face in one grip: "The injured person is me!"

"I haven't even asked you yet! Do you know what I found out? Ah!"

"Gu Han's former crush was actually you!"

Bai Yunyue cried out in pain, shoved Gu Yeting away and stood up, leaving a glaring red mark on her face.

"That's because Xiao Han has never experienced love, no one ever taught him, so why are you making a big deal out of it? And after I found out, didn't I already return to Yingguo right away!"

Gu Yeting roared: "That's still not acceptable! Not killing GuJunyuan was just my soft‑heartedness; now there's still Gu Han, I'll make him pay! You can only be mine!"

Bai Yunyue couldn't understand, nor did she expect him to suddenly bring up past matters; her heart ached, her cold, stunning face covered in red marks, striking yet pitiful.

"He is my child! You say you love me, so why would you hurt him? Back then it was just an accident—I was drugged, and GuJunyuan was too, but the child is innocent."

Gu Yeting grabbed him and yanked him close, tightening his grip on the waist: "I don't even care about my own biological child, so you expect me to like Gu Han? I love you, but only you; no one else deserves my pity."

"Let go of me… it hurts!"

Bang!

The room door was pushed open.

GuJunyuan calmly watched the two people entangled in the room, stepped back a pace, and their face turned cold.

"Gu Yeting, Xiao Han has come home; you'd better think about how to explain last night's kidnapping."

Bai Yunyue bit their lip, pushed open the door, the dazed Gu Yeting stood up, and tightened their sleepwear, "Is Xiao Han hurt?"

"Yes." GuJunyuan said, eyes downcast, not looking directly at the disheveled Bai Yunyue.

"Nonsense! How could he possibly be hurt!"

Gu Yeting jumped up angrily, clenched their teeth, and said, "Just wait and see where exactly he's hurt!"
