Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 183 Monitoring

Father Gu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Chenfeng, you've been very smart since you were little, and I've always had high hopes for you! That's how I raised you! You...sigh."

Mr. Gu still remembers the first time he brought the two little ones back to the Gu family.

At that time, Chi Xiaoyu was only 1 year old and Chi Shuyao was only 5 years old. She was very nervous and not used to the unfamiliar living environment.

However, later, under the meticulous care and unconditional love of Gu's mother, Chi Shuyao gradually relaxed.

Both children were dazzlingly beautiful, and whenever their mother took them out, they always attracted many admiring glances.

After his mother passed away from a serious illness, although he didn't care much about the two of them, he didn't mistreat them in terms of their living conditions. He was also very happy about Gu Chenfeng and Chi Shuyao's engagement.

"Sigh, it's all my fault. If I had cared more about Gu Yonghui back then... this wouldn't have happened." Gu's father sighed.

He looked at Gu Chenfeng: "Even though things have come to this, we have to look forward! No matter what, a crazy woman is not good enough for you right now!"

Gu Chenfeng looked up abruptly upon hearing his father's words, his eyes filled with shock. "Dad, what did you say? I must find Shuyao, no matter what she becomes, I will marry her!"

Mr. Gu's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? You said she's already mentally unstable and doesn't have many days left. This marriage absolutely cannot continue!"

Gu Chenfeng clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "I know I have made an unforgivable mistake, but this is the only way I can think of to make amends."

He looked at his father with unwavering eyes, his tone earnest and sincere: "Dad, I have wronged her so much in the first half of my life. Now, I only hope to make it up to her, love her, and take good care of her in the time she has left."

However, Mr. Gu coldly replied, "But son, you need to understand one thing: she's just a fool, and as you just said, she doesn't even recognize you anymore. So, what's the use of doing anything? Besides, she's had relationships with so many men..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chenfeng's guilt intensified. He closed his eyes in anguish and muttered to himself, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so heartless as to arrange for those people to humiliate her..."

At this moment, Gu's father took a deep breath: "Since things have come to this, no matter what, she cannot change the fact that she has lost her virginity! Besides, you are still so young, and you have a long road ahead of you. Even if you did wrong her in the past, what value is there in being good to her now? Not to mention that she doesn't have many days left to live..."

Upon hearing his father's words, Gu Chenfeng suddenly stood up and shouted, "No matter what, even if she's just a mentally challenged person, I'm still willing! Dad, please stop talking! I will definitely find her!"

After saying that, Gu Chenfeng resolutely turned around and left the ward, leaving his father standing alone, watching his departing figure in silence for a long time.

He made a phone call and ordered that the blame for Chi Xiaoyu's death be placed entirely on Gu Yonghui.

Given Gu Chenfeng's current situation, he might very well confess to some crimes. This is his most cherished son, and no matter what he has done, his future absolutely cannot be hindered by these matters.

...

Gu Chenfeng returned home looking like a zombie, completely lost and dejected. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked incredibly haggard and exhausted.

Before this, he had mobilized all available manpower to search for the missing person, but after a whole day and night of searching, he had not found even the slightest useful clue.

He dragged his heavy steps into the house, collapsing onto the sofa as if his body had lost its support. He was starving, but even faced with a table full of sumptuous food prepared by the servants, he had no appetite whatsoever.

Hunger churned in his stomach, but the deep pain and anxiety within him made him lose all interest in food.

The mountain of beer cans around him bore witness to his despondency and indulgence. He gulped down beer bottle after bottle as if it were water, as if only alcohol could temporarily numb his broken heart.

The night was deep and all was quiet. Gu Chenfeng remained quietly in the cage. An entire long night passed, and he remained curled up there, unwilling to leave even for a moment.

In this small space, the familiar and alluring scent of her lingered on the bedding in the cage. That faint fragrance seemed to still linger at the tip of his nose, making him feel that she had never left and was still by his side.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Chenfeng seemed to suddenly wake up from a daze and stood up unsteadily.

The rushing water washed over his haggard face as he scrubbed vigorously, trying to wash away the gloom that clung to him. Then, he picked up a razor and carefully shaved away the prickly stubble, revealing his once handsome features.

He carefully sprayed perfume on himself in front of the mirror, filling himself with a delicate fragrance. Finally, he changed into the suit she had once said she loved seeing him in; its sharp tailoring perfectly accentuated his tall, slender figure.

Although he knew the chances of her return were slim, he stubbornly believed that perhaps one day, when he opened the door, he would be surprised to see her. He absolutely could not appear before her in such a disheveled state…

The fact that Shuyao's body wasn't found in the empty villa undoubtedly became Gu Chenfeng's last hope. She must still be alive!

Wait... villa...

Gu Chenfeng suddenly looked up, only then realizing that he hadn't checked the surveillance footage of that villa; he had forgotten about it.

Gu Chenfeng rushed to the villa's surveillance room. His hands trembled as he pulled up the footage from that day, and the scene on the screen stung his eyes the next moment.

He arranged for four people to take turns replacing Chi Shuyao, which lasted for four or five hours!

He closed his eyes tightly, a heavy and painful feeling surging into his heart like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming him. It was himself!

It all stemmed from the orders she gave! If she hadn't given her permission, how dare these people treat her so recklessly!

Gu Chenfeng clenched his fists in anger, his nails digging deep into his palms, a trickle of crimson blood slowly seeping out, but he seemed completely oblivious to the stinging pain in his hand. At this moment, his eyes were filled only with endless regret and deep self-reproach.

On the screen, Chi Shuyao lay there quietly, showing no sign of resistance. Her once bright and lively eyes had become empty and lifeless, staring blankly at the ceiling. Seeing this, Gu Chenfeng felt as if a thousand sharp blades were slashing through his heart, the pain making it hard to breathe.

However, despite his overwhelming grief, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to continue watching the surveillance footage. Every second felt like an eternity; he couldn't bear to look at the gruesome images, but to uncover the truth, he had to harden his heart.

And so, he kept clicking the progress bar, skipping over heartbreaking scenes, until he arrived at the part that was almost five hours ahead.

As time ticked by, Gu Chenfeng's nerves tightened more and more. Just at the end of the video, the situation took an unexpected turn.

In the scene, black mist suddenly emanated from Chi Shuyao's body. The next moment, the black mist enveloped her and then transformed into a hideous monster!

Gu Chenfeng stared wide-eyed in shock. How could this be? What happened? How could she have become like this?

The four people in the scene were in a panic, but they were all killed one by one by the monster, their blood splattering everywhere! Then, the monster transformed back into Chi Shuyao's appearance!

The woman in the video said something, but Gu Chenfeng heard it clearly: "Gu Yonghui! I will make you pay for my sister's death!"

Gu Chenfeng collapsed to the ground in terror. Impossible! How could she have turned into a monster… This is impossible…

Fear gripped his heart. Yes… the Knights' Guild, find the Knights' Guild, they can definitely resolve this situation…
