They were still tied both individually and to each other and couldn't move but they kept an eye on the living room entrance praying Gu Huizhe arrives before the mad woman returns.
From her brother's tone he probably got the job, she wondered if her mom would still value her. If she no longer valued her she probably won't pay for this blisters after they received compensation.
No this won't do, she has to change mom's mind, turning to her mom she ignored the pain and smiled, "mom that was big brother now he called and asked about sister in law, he..."
"What sister in law?! If your brother still married her I would teach both of them a lesson"
Smiling she continued "Mom your dad phone is probably on silent because big brother is back and probably has good news. He must have called you first but missed you".
Honestly Gu Erzi wasn't sure if he got the job but she knew her mother's love of money would make such behavior harmful and wickedness.
"That's why he tried calling sister in-law now, I am envious of you both; you and sister are first"
"What sister?! What nonsense even if we are tied up, my phone is on loud speaker, and not a single ring. After how many years have I invested on your brother and this is what I got(another lie)" the woman screeched her voice almost high pitched.
"He would rather call that mad woman than his mother, you told him what she did and how she treated us and yet this is his behavior?" she asked exasperated.
Gu Erzi grinned, finally the moment she has been waiting for. "Mom! He was on her side he even said we have to apologize to her, mom why would brother treat us this way for a mad woman even if she weren't mad we are family"(Truly a family of liars)
Now inside the bathroom, Shenyu kept break things, she felt like her heart was aching as she rubbed her chest she wondered if her condition has been triggered because she hadn't felt any pain today, her mind still blanked and her eyes were more foggy.
Looking at the mirror, she didn't see her present self but a wither fat woman with so much scars, she looked so ugly to her. She wanted it gone and away.
Why did happen to only her was she really vile and disgusting, so disgusting that she deserved to be punished. She really was so disgusting, too disgusting.
Even she didn't like herself anymore who could like her. She was a horrible mother, a horrible partner.
Although she hated Erzi she had to thank her for the purification method she taught her. I guess that is secret they both shared.
When she was suffering from serious depression. When?! Isn't she still depressed now or does a normal person think like this. Laughing at her thoughts she bowed her head.
Erzi taught her about the Pain-pleasure purification, this was their only secret, Erzi actually got pleasure from doing causing herself physical pain.
But to her it was a form of redemption that made her feel clean?! Yes when the pain came she knew she deserved it and thus accepted it. Besides it reduced the physical and emotional pain in her heart. Each time she looked at the scars she knew this was how filthy she should look.
She only did the hands though that was enough. After this she would whip them and burn the place. That should kill them.
By then even if her heart held on she she would die from blood loss.
She broke the mirror with her hands and continued smacking her hands on the shards.
It's been a while now and she knew she should stop now and finish the plan but this felt so good when was the last time she felt such control over her body or even her life.
Finally she could control the pain she felt, how long to live and even when to die. After many years of not even controlling the food she ate or when she used the bathroom. She thought as tears flowed down her face.
She grinned and began laughing with tears still pouring down, she had the control now, even her enemies were under her control and she would end it all.
A kind neighbor was still worried about the look on Li Shenyu's face when she opened the door, she had watched the young girl grow and has never seen such a look on her face.
After some thinking she decides to call the police, she reported that her neighbor seem to be in serious distress and discomfort and she saw this when some people came to see her.
When Gu Huizhe arrived, he saw the 4 police trying to force their way in.
He rushed forward and explains he knew the passcode, immediately opening the door they rushes inside. The first officer focused on releasing the tied women.
Another 1 moved to the kitchen smelling the gas and another 2 followed the sound and found Shenyu surrounded by glass shards and still smashing her hand on them. Gu Huizhe following them sees her too.
Shocked he calls out to her telling her to stop, when she didn't respond he tries to get to her but is stopped by the officer, "look her state of mind isn't good right now, we should approach carefully and then put her to sleep before taking her to the hospital"
Gu Huizhe paused and then agrees silently watching as the second officer was already on the move, he stealthly approached her. Immediately he reached her, he knocks her out cold. Handing her to the Huizhe.
They informed him, the ambulance was here and they would go back the station with his mother to get her statement and leave another officer to deal with the gas problem. They would also come by the hospital tomorrow to speak to the two women.
If nobody files, it would be closed if they did they would investigate. As it could be treated as a family issue.
They also suggested he get a therapist for Shenyu. The ambulance arrives taking both Shenyu and Erzi(because of her burns).
The officers demand to take Gu mother, but frightened by them and everything that had happened, she pees on herself and 'faints'. To which another ambulance is called.
