Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Punishment

"You don’t need to worry about this matter. I’ll handle that Sun Shou. You won’t have to deal with this kind of situation again."

When dealing with others, Gu Qixiao’s patience was limited, and it was unlikely he’d let them act recklessly again.

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow. "What are you planning to do to him?"

"You’ll find out soon enough." He had no intention of telling Ji Yu the details.

He knew Ji Yu probably wouldn’t be able to accept such a dark way of handling things yet. It would be better to secretly deal with this man first.

"Don’t do anything illegal. Someone like him isn’t worth it. Just send him to the police station instead."

Ji Yu tried to propose a compromise, but Gu Qixiao didn’t seem too interested in the suggestion.

"Don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble."

But he didn’t specify how he was planning to deal with Sun Shou.

"Get some rest. The marks on your face should fade by tomorrow morning. Remember to apply an ice pack."

He looked at Ji Yu with a trace of heartache but was unsure how else he could care for her.

When Ji Yu got out of the car, she didn’t forget to remind Gu Qixiao, "It’s better not to blow this matter out of proportion."

This time, Gu Qixiao didn’t agree.

It seemed clear that Sun Shou was in big trouble this time.

She thought everyone had already gone to bed and wouldn’t notice the marks on her face. But as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Ji Yuanzhou sitting on the sofa, obviously waiting for her to return.

"What’s with the handprint on your face? Did Gu Qixiao hit you?"

Looking at the marks on Ji Yu’s face, his expression turned dark. His actions, however, were pragmatic—he quickly found some ice in the fridge and handed it to her.

Feeling guilty, Ji Yu avoided looking directly at Ji Yuanzhou. "It wasn’t Gu Qixiao. He just saved me."

She knew Ji Yuanzhou and the others would also be worried about her safety.

As she spoke, she hesitated but still explained the matter with Sun Shou in detail.

"Brother, it’s really not that serious. See? I’m fine."

But in Ji Yuanzhou’s eyes, this was his sister—someone he couldn’t bear to see get hurt. And now seeing her like this, how could he not be concerned?

"If we know who did it, there’s no way I’ll let it slide. You go get some rest first."

He intended to see what Gu Qixiao planned to do next.

Ji Yu felt helpless, unsure what was going on with the both of them.

But for now, she couldn’t stop them, so she could only return to her room to wait for updates.

She also wondered how things were on Gu Qixiao’s end.

The truth proved that the situation on Gu Qixiao’s side was far less ideal than Ji Yu imagined.

"President Gu, I really didn’t know that young lady had anything to do with you! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have dared to do this."

Sun Shou was crying messily, his bloated face even more grotesque as if someone had just punched him.

"Oh, really?" Gu Qixiao sat nearby, staring coldly at Sun Shou.

In the dim basement, Gu Qixiao appeared even more intimidating. For a moment, Sun Shou didn’t know how to explain himself to get out of trouble.

"President Gu, I know you care about Doctor Ji! Even if you gave me ten guts, I wouldn’t dare lay a hand on her. I just wanted to visit my uncle, but she wouldn’t let me. That’s why I tried to scare her."

He made it sound like the situation was just a misunderstanding.

Gu Qixiao sneered. "Oh, you remember you have an uncle? If I recall correctly, he’s been estranged from your family for a while now."

He had his men lift Sun Shou off the ground. "I don’t care what your intentions were. You’ll stay here for the next few days. Rest assured, you won’t die."

He ignored Sun Shou’s pleading gaze, turned, and left the basement. His demeanor made it clear he didn’t intend to deal with him further—for now.

Sun Shou let out a sigh of relief, thinking the worst was over.

But when the basement grew dark, he finally understood what true fear was.

There was nothing in this place, only himself. It was an isolation that felt unbearable and terrifying.

He didn’t know what he could do to escape and could only beg Gu Qixiao over and over, hoping to be released.

Meanwhile, Gu Qixiao’s mood gradually cooled down.

"Assistant Li, I want all the Sun family’s information on my desk tomorrow."

"Understood." Assistant Li, fully aware of Gu Qixiao’s anger, didn’t dare say much and just hoped the matter would pass quickly.

"President Gu, Miss Ji’s brother is here. Shall I let him in?"

"Let him in." Gu Qixiao had some impression of Ji Yuanzhou.

But this meeting was, of course, because of Ji Yu.

When Ji Yuanzhou entered, the first thing he noticed was the dangerous aura around Gu Qixiao, which left him somewhat satisfied.

"I want to see Sun Shou."

He didn’t waste words. His main goal was to stand up for Ji Yu, so naturally, he wanted to meet the perpetrator.

"He’s currently locked in the basement. If you want to see him, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow. Otherwise, if he dies, we won’t be able to settle things properly."

Gu Qixiao wasn’t planning to kill Sun Shou—he had restrained his temper for a while. But seeing Ji Yu hurt had pushed him to take action this time, though murder wasn’t on the table just yet.

"Have you found out the reason?" Ji Yuanzhou didn’t press further but was curious why exactly Sun Shou targeted Ji Yu.

"It seems there’s been a patient recently who bears a striking resemblance to the Sun family’s younger son."

The younger son had once been a prominent figure, but for unknown reasons, had stepped down and disappeared. His sudden reappearance had obviously stirred attention.

"Yu probably didn’t know his background and simply helped with the surgery, while also trying to protect the patient’s safety."

Gu Qixiao understood Ji Yu’s principles and knew these issues had been brewing, although Ji Yu had likely fended them off until now.

"I’ll meet with the Sun family’s younger son tomorrow to see what he wants."

This time, Ji Yu’s injuries wouldn’t be taken lightly. The Sun family matter needed to be resolved thoroughly.

Looking at Gu Qixiao’s expression, Ji Yuanzhou felt conflicted for a moment. "How did you find out that Yu had been taken?"

He wanted to understand their relationship further, but judging by Gu Qixiao’s actions, it seemed there wasn’t an immediate opportunity to do so.

"I originally planned to pick her up for dinner, but when she didn’t come downstairs, I saw her bag left beside her car."

The evidence had been so obvious that it was clear Ji Yu had been in trouble.

Fortunately, the surveillance cameras were still working, allowing him to find her quickly.

"I care deeply about her. I know, as her brother, you’re also concerned for Ji Yu, but you can rest assured—I will handle this matter completely."
