Chapter 496 What Does He Still Hope For?
Inside the Gao residence, the father and son were kind and filial, while Gao Ziyou, who had escaped, was in a daze, feeling unwell all over, and filled with deep disappointment.
It's always like this. What else does he hope for?
"Hehehe..."
A weak, feeble laugh came from his doghouse.
Gao Ziyou felt as if he were in a dream, in which he returned to the home he had lived in as a child.
Despite the freezing weather outside, the heating at home was on full blast. He was sweating even in just a thin shirt. His mother, with a gentle smile on her face, was knitting a sweater and would occasionally glance up at him.
Even when his father wasn't home, he was happy and content.
Then the scene flashed, and the gentle and beautiful mother became pale and weak. She lay lifeless on the bed, looking so thin. When you talked to her, she could only move her eyes and couldn't say a word.
Gao Ziyou felt a pang of pain in his heart. Even in his dream, he knew perfectly well that it was just a dream, but seeing his mother like this again still made him sad.
He was too young then to realize how miserable his mother was. Now, looking back with his adult perspective, he realizes that the person who could only bulge slightly under the thick blankets was already skin and bones.
It turns out that sometimes letting someone live is such a cruel thing.
She endured so much pain, all for the sake of her good-for-nothing, useless son...
Gao Ziyou's consciousness alternated between clarity and confusion, and the torment in his heart made him still agitated and restless even after being injected with such a high dose of sedatives.
The low, cramped doghouse teetered precariously as he unconsciously struggled, muttering to himself.
"Mom...don't worry, I will never let them succeed. I will live well. They are the ones who deserve to die. I will make them all die...all of them die...all destroyed...all of us die together..."
Some curious onlookers crouched down to peer into the doghouse and saw a man, who looked like a beggar, struggling painfully inside.
Especially after hearing what he said, she immediately turned and ran outside, shouting, "There's a madman! A madman who wants to kill! Call the police! Call the police!"
He was running so fast that he bumped into someone who had just appeared at the alley exit.
Because he was in a hurry, he didn't even look up at the person, only repeatedly bowing and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The person he bumped into was tall and strong, and felt no pain or itch, so he casually waved him away.
Then he glanced into the hole.
It was a dead end, not deep, and you could see right to the end. Besides piles of miscellaneous items and vegetable jars thrown out by various households, there was only a doghouse made of broken wooden planks.
It was obvious that someone as proud as Gao Ziyou would never hide in such a place, so he turned and left.
After half an hour.
Zhou Yichen was summoned by the police and looked at Gao Ziyou, who was still restless with his eyes closed in the doghouse. His expression was strange and ugly.
He was willing to go to Gao Ziyou before because Gao Ziyou was useful to him, but now that everything is settled, it doesn't mean he wants to see this person again.
Especially since they had just met at the hospital not long ago, when Gao Ziyou was full of life, what's going on now?
The police officers who arrived after receiving the report were initially confused, but eventually understood and were filled with fear.
"The Zhou family," "Zhou Yichen"—what do these represent? Even if he didn't know before, after working on so many cases together during this period, he knew that this was something the Public Security Bureau couldn't handle.
So they urgently contacted the person in charge.
“Comrade Zhou, is there some misunderstanding between you? This comrade is acting strangely. Do you think we should send him to the hospital first, and then talk to him after he wakes up?”
Comrade Zhou looked very unpleasant as soon as he arrived, and the junior policeman was genuinely worried that he would kill someone right there in this doghouse.
Zhou Yichen didn't want to think that once Gao Ziyou woke up, there would be no point in talking; it would only lead to a falling out.
“He’s mentally ill, and I can’t cure him. Just send him to the hospital, and he’ll calm down once he wakes up.”
He wasn't a doctor; all he could do to Gao Ziyou was deliver heavy punches.
Now the junior policeman was in an even more difficult position. "Comrade, you don't know this, but as soon as I get close to him, he struggles so fiercely that I don't even have a chance to strike."
"puff!"
Chu Yunting couldn't help but break down in his composure and whispered to Chu Xin:
"What the young policeman said is definitely true. When Gao Ziyou was in the army, ordinary people couldn't get close to him."
Chu Xin nudged his elbow, "Mind your image."
At this moment, Zhou Yichen was in a bad mood. Of all times, this had to happen at the exact time that the Zhou and Chu families were supposed to have dinner together, and he was even called over from his work to the restaurant.
No wonder he's in a good mood; this big idiot shouldn't be making sarcastic remarks.
Glancing at his watch again, Zhou Yichen rubbed his temples, suppressing his irritation. "Get a few more people and administer tranquilizers!"
The junior police officer had to force a smile. "I thought of this a long time ago. The doctor I found said that he has already been given a sedative and we can't increase the dosage. Doing so would hurt him."
Zhou Yichen seemed to be deep in thought. The fact that someone from the Gao family was able to think of injecting him with a sedative meant that Zhu Chang and his father wouldn't dare to make this decision on their own.
Before the young policeman could finish speaking, he leaned closer to Zhou Yichen and whispered:
"The doctor didn't examine him closely. He only judged from his lip color, face color, and limbs that he had been injected with more than just a sedative. There must have been an antidote. Otherwise, he should have been asleep, not unconscious and showing strong resistance in his limbs."
Zhou Yichen doubted that he had heard correctly. Although Gao Ziyou was a very domineering and unpleasant person, he was the eldest son of the Gao family. Even if he himself did not value him, the elders above would love him more. How could he deliberately damage her body?
"Can the doctor guarantee that everything they say is true and verifiable?"
If so, then Gao Ziyou's current state is entirely due to his own father's actions. What's the point then?
If not, the fact that they could do something under Gao Ziyou's own father's nose is truly terrifying.
Now, Zhou Yichen was even less inclined to get involved in this matter.
But the police officer's eyes were very eager.
Looking at Chu Yunting and Chu Xin, whose faces were full of interest, Zhou Yichen knew that, in their eyes, eating was not as important as watching the excitement.
It's true that everyone's joys and sorrows are not shared; only he himself truly valued this dinner party.
Frustrated, Zhou Yichen rubbed his temples again and strode over. Just as Gao Ziyou sensed someone approaching and was about to attack, Zhou Yichen kicked him in the neck.
Gao Ziyou's body suddenly stiffened, and he completely lost consciousness, but his neck was visibly red and swollen.
At this rate, it won't be long before his neck is thicker than his head.
This scene was witnessed by the young policeman, but Zhou Yichen didn't want to waste another day arguing with him. After finishing, he turned around and called the two siblings surnamed Chu to follow.
"Let's go eat!"
