Chapter 261 Your love is nothing more than this

Gu Junze kept his eyes fixed on Chu Ruohan, afraid that she might make the slightest mistake.

"Shadow Five, Shadow Six," Gu Junze commanded in a low voice.

The two shadow guards understood each other and quietly disappeared into the darkness, preparing to launch a sneak attack from the side.

Gu Chengyan led Chu Ruohan to retreat outside the villa. Night had fallen, and the only sounds were the chirping of insects and the wind.

The moonlight spilled across the mountains, adding a touch of desolation to the standoff.

Just as Shadow Five and Shadow Six were about to make their move, Gu Chengyan suddenly turned around, and the blade sliced ​​a deeper wound into Chu Ruohan's neck.

Blood gushed out immediately, staining her collar red.

"Stop!" Gu Junze shouted sharply, his eyes filled with terror.

The shadow guards immediately stopped what they were doing and dared not advance rashly.

“Very well,” Gu Chengyan sneered, “It seems you still care about her.”

Chu Ruohan gritted her teeth, enduring the pain in her neck, her eyes filled with anger and resentment.

She knew she had become Gu Chengyan's bargaining chip.

"What exactly do you want?" Gu Junze asked in a deep voice, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.

"Follow me," Gu Chengyan said coldly, continuing to lead Chu Ruohan deeper into the mountains.

Gu Junze and his shadow guards kept a certain distance from him, not daring to make any rash moves.

The mountain path was rugged, and Gu Chengyan led Chu Ruohan uphill until they finally arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Below the cliff is a bottomless abyss, darkness swallows everything, and only the howling of the mountain wind can be heard.

“This is the end.” Gu Chengyan stood on the edge of the cliff and pulled Chu Ruohan in front of him.

Under the moonlight, Gu Chengyan's face appeared exceptionally pale, his eyes flashing with a crazed light.

His shoulder wound was still bleeding, but he didn't seem to feel any pain.

"I'm giving you two choices now." Gu Chengyan stared at Gu Junze, his voice icy.

“First, I’ll jump down with my sister-in-law and we’ll both die. Second, you’ve been paralyzed for so many years, those legs are really annoying, just cut them off yourself!”

Gu Junze's face was extremely gloomy. These legs were something he had finally managed to recover from, a symbol of his rebirth.

"Don't listen to him!" Chu Ruohan cried out, tears welling in her eyes, "Junze, no!"

Gu Chengyan watched Gu Junze's reaction with a cold smile and continued, "As long as you break your own legs, I will release her."

Gu Junze gripped the sword hilt tightly, his knuckles turning white. His gaze shifted from Chu Ruohan to Gu Chengyan's face, finally settling on his own legs.

"Junze, don't agree to him!" Chu Ruohan shouted urgently, "He wants me, he won't let me go, you know that!"

"Shut up!" Gu Chengyan shouted sharply, his eyes filled with ruthlessness. "If you say another word, I'll push you down!"

Seeing Chu Ruohan's pained expression, Gu Junze felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He took a deep breath and slowly lowered the sword in his hand.

"Okay, I promise you." Gu Junze's voice was deep and firm.

"No!" Chu Ruohan cried out in despair, tears streaming down her face.

Gu Junze looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness: "Han'er, it's alright."

He turned to Gu Chengyan, his voice icy: "But I have one condition: you must release her first."

Gu Chengyan sneered: "You think I'll fall for your trick? Cut off your own legs first, and I'll release her naturally."

Gu Junze was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Alright, let's jump down together."

Gu Chengyan was taken aback: "What?"

Gu Junze took a step forward, his eyes resolute: "Didn't you say we should all die together? Then let's all jump together. Anyway, if I lose my legs, living will be torture for me."

Gu Chengyan was caught off guard by Gu Junze's words.

"Are you crazy?" Gu Chengyan said sharply. "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"

“I know you dare,” Gu Junze said coldly, taking a step closer to the edge of the cliff, his voice filled with unwavering resolve, “Didn’t you want to compensate Han’er? She’s dead, how will you compensate her?”

Gu Chengyan narrowed his eyes as he watched Gu Junze approach step by step. Instinctively, he took a few steps back, and the rubble on the cliff edge rolled into the abyss because of his movement.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!" Gu Chengyan shouted sharply, pressing the knife against Chu Ruohan's throat even harder.

Gu Junze stopped, his gaze growing even more resolute: "Gu Chengyan, you keep saying you love her, yet you're willing to gamble with her life? Is this what you call love?"

"And what about you? Your love is nothing more than this, you're not even willing to give up your own two legs," Gu Chengyan retorted loudly.

Chu Ruohan felt Gu Chengyan's hand trembling slightly as he gripped the knife, and she knew that her chance had come.

He quietly slipped his left hand into his sleeve, his fingertips touching the cold embroidery needle.

Gu Junze: "I can cut off my own legs, but you have to release her first."

Gu Chengyan sneered, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Chu Ruohan sensed that Gu Chengyan's attention was entirely focused on Gu Junze, and he had already fully gripped the embroidery needle in his hand. She took a deep breath and secretly adjusted the angle.

Gu Chengyan felt Chu Ruohan's body tremble slightly in front of him. Just as he was about to look down at her, he felt a sharp pain in his left chest.

Chu Ruohan used all her strength to plunge the embroidery needle deep into Gu Chengyan's heart.

Blood gushed from his chest, staining his clothes red.

Gu Chengyan was still unwilling to let go of Chu Ruohan. The madness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a sense of relief.

“It’s over…” Gu Chengyan muttered to himself, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

“In my past life, although I didn’t give you to Wei Qiming, I still indirectly harmed you. In this life, I’m repaying you with my life. Can you forgive me just this once?”

Chu Ruohan did not answer. She was still under Gu Chengyan's control and could not provoke him.

Why hasn't Gu Chengyan fallen yet? She stabbed him in the right spot!

It was Song Ruyan who taught it...

Gu Chengyan smiled bitterly and took a step back, his heels already dangling over the edge of the cliff.

He looked at Chu Ruohan deeply, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance.

"Han'er!" Gu Junze sensed the danger and rushed forward, shouting.

It's too late.

"No!" Gu Junze cried out in despair, reaching out to grab Chu Ruohan, but only managing to touch the hem of her clothes.

Gu Chengyan, holding Chu Ruohan, jumped off the cliff.

"Junze!" Chu Ruohan's scream echoed through the valley.

"Sir."

Gu Junze lunged forward without hesitation, but was held tightly by the shadow guards, and could only watch helplessly as they fell.

"Let go!" Gu Junze roared, his eyes bloodshot, like a raging beast.

He struggled, trying to reach the edge of the cliff.

"Young Master, calm down!" Ying San gripped Gu Junze tightly, her voice heavy, "The young mistress..."

The words "more bad than good" were impossible for Shadow Three to utter.

"A rope!" Gu Junze immediately realized and shouted, "Bring me a rope!"

I need to see him alive or dead...
