"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang!!!"
At that mont, the doors of the abandoned factory were kicked open, followed imdiately by a barrage of gunfire.
Liu Lao Si and the others, without even turning back to see who had co, fell to the ground, dead.
As Qiu Qianghai stord into the factory, he gave a fatal order to everyone: leave no survivors!
He believed that by eliminating all potential threats, Gu Minmin would be safer.
However, upon seeing her lying on the ground like a ragdoll, her body covered in blood, he was filled with fury, like a raging lion.
The instinctive beating of his forehead and heart seed as if they could kill him on the spot.
This feeling was even more shocking and terrifying than the car accident he experienced years ago.
He ran desperately towards Gu Minmin, who was lying on the ground, unsure of her fate.
Kneeling down, he cradled her in his arms, and when he t her tear-filled eyes, he finally sighed in relief.
She was still alive!
As long as she was alive, everything would be alright!
He reached out to touch Minmin’s face, but upon seeing the bloody and blurred wound, he hesitated and withdrew his hand.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry—"
Qiu Qianghai apologized, his voice trembling.
Holding the girl in his arms tightly, his eyes betrayed regret.
If he had known that getting closer to the other party would lead to such consequences, he would have kept his distance from Gu Minmin.
Gu Minmin knew Qiu Qianghai had co, felt his embrace, and at this mont she wasn’t sure whether to be happy or to despair.
The person she liked was right here.
Unfortunately, she could no longer match him.
Her face was ruined.
After sadness, despair, and grief, Gu Minmin noticed the trembling of the arms holding her, and her heart couldn’t help but ache.
She wanted to raise her hand and hug him.
In the end, she slowly lowered her raised hand.
Gu Minmin slowly closed her eyes and faintly called out, "Jin Jie—"
At this mont, she didn’t want to see him.
She didn’t want him to see her in such a miserable state.
She wanted to see her family.
As her eyes closed, Gu Minmin lost consciousness.
Overwheld by fright and severe blood loss, it was a miracle she had held on until now.
...
Upon waking again, the first thing Gu Minmin sensed was the pungent sll of disinfectant in the air.
She opened her eyes to see Gu Jin sitting beside her.
The other person was holding a book, flipping through its pages.
When she looked over, Gu Jin lifted her eyes, revealing a pair of deep, dark pupils.
Such serious and solemn eyes left Gu Minmin, just awakening, dazed and unsure of what expression to wear.
Then she rembered her face was ruined; it seed pointless to show any expression.
This realization was a heavy blow to Gu Minmin.
She lowered her eyes, tears welling up.
Feeling wronged, sad, despairing, and mourning the unrequited crush that never began.
Gu Jin spoke with disappointnt, "Now you know fear!"
She reached out to poke Gu Minmin’s forehead, helped her up from the bed, turned around, and poured a glass of water, handing it to her.
"How co you are so easily deceived? You believe whatever people say."
Gu Minmin couldn’t care less about this now; she was still in the throes of grief over her ruined face, and didn’t respond to Gu Jin’s words.
Until the tears flooded her face, she couldn’t help but reach up to wipe them away.
With this action, she finally sensed sothing was amiss.
The face felt different, the skin was smooth, intact, and perfectly flat.
There were none of the disfiguring knife wounds she imagined.
Could it be that everything was just a dream?
