841 A Million Times for You 203 (1/2)

The woman patted the bed and said, ”Lie down.”

Pangs of panic engulfed Gu Dongcheng as he asked, ”Just what… are you going to do to me?”

”We'll cut your tongue off if you continue asking redundant questions,” the woman warned sternly. She then looked at a man who appeared to be in his forties and said with a gentler expression on her face, ”Teacher Bei Qi, can we begin now?”

”Yes,” said the man, gesturing for her to start.

The man stepped forward and looked at Gu Dongcheng from above. He said reassuringly, ”Don't be afraid, I'll just be hypnotizing you. You'll feel like you're asleep and you won't die. Believe me, okay?”

Gu Dongcheng nodded and said, ”Okay, but…”

He then looked at the man who brought him here and asked, ”Does the deal you promised me earlier still hold?”

”Of course.”

”Close your eyes,” Bei Qi said gently, as if he were coaxing a child.

Gu Dongcheng closed his eyes while quivering and gradually relaxed after hearing Bei Qi's voice.

He soon lost control of his consciousness and slipped into hypnosis.

He did not even realize that his body was flipped over.

Bei Qi took a vial of blue liquid from the woman's hands and injected it into Gu Dongcheng's spine.

He then flipped Gu Dongcheng's body back. Bei Qi closed his eyes and murmured a chant in a language that no one could understand. Gu Dongcheng then opened his eyes and sat up slowly.

His eyes were glassed over and he did not seem to be focusing on anything.

Bei Qi waved at the woman, after which she handed him a vial of red blood.

”Stick your hand out.”

Gu Dongcheng stuck his hand out abidingly like a puppet while Bei Qi injected the blood into his vein, allowing the blood to transfuse into his blood vessels slowly.

Gu Dongcheng began shivering from head to toe uncontrollably as soon as the needle was removed. The woman tried to hold him down but was quickly stopped by Bei Qi, who said, ”Xiao Ling, don't touch him.”

Xiao Ling nodded and asked, ”Teacher Bei Qi, what's wrong with him?”

”It's just a normal response. The blood is fusing with his blood. He'll be fine in a few minutes,” Bei Qi explained calmly. He then turned to the man beside him and asked, ”Xiao Lin, what did you promise him?”

”I promised to help him get rid of Gu Beicheng and his wife, as well as to kill Jin Qingyan.”

Bei Qi sneered and said, ”This guy is really naive. If we want to take over the Gu Corporation, killing Gu Beicheng and his wife would only be necessary. As for Jin Qingyan, our ancestor would have killed him long ago if it were possible. We wouldn't have had to wait until he made this request.”

”He wouldn't have agreed to come here and let us control him willingly if I hadn't agreed to his requests. No wonder he couldn't manage to kill Gu Beicheng. He's such a dimwit,” Xiao Lin said nonchalantly.

”Okay, there's a limited amount of time that we can control him for. We can't afford to delay another day at all. We must take action as soon as possible and use him to get what we need. That'll make it easier for us to explain things to Ancestor.”

”Got it.”

Minutes later, Gu Dongcheng finally stopped trembling and quieted down.

He no longer looked as flustered as he did when he arrived, and he seemed nothing more than a soulless puppet, completely devoid of any feelings of love and resentment.

Gu Dongcheng then left on his own after receiving the instructions from Bei Qi.

”Teacher Bei Qi, is it really effective?”

”Rest assured, Ancestor sent me here for a reason. If An Xiaoning had had her consciousness controlled in this way back then, she wouldn't have had the chance to escape.”

”Exactly, Ancestor has always been a shrewd person and yet he didn't do that. How unexpected.”
