Gu Wuhen asked the kidnappers to cut off Xiwu's fingers and send a video to her. He waited for a long time but there was no movement from the kidnappers. Just when he thought he had found an unreliable kidnapper, his phone finally rang.

When he saw the video sent from his mobile phone, he immediately became excited. He sent the video to Mrs. Gu. He didn't believe that she could still pretend that nothing had happened.

Gu Wuhen quickly opened the video on his phone, and what he saw was a man. He was immediately startled and shocked: "How could this happen?" In the video, he saw many people, but none of them were filming the opposite side. The person whose fingers were chopped off was not Yugiri, but the kidnapper he paid to kidnap Yugiri.

"How is this possible?" The bloody scene frightened Gu Wuhen so much that he dropped his phone. What on earth was going on?

Just now he called the kidnapper and seemed to hear a lot of voices. Could it be that the kidnapper's whereabouts were tracked by the people sent by Mrs. Gu?

Gu Wuhen quickly picked up his phone and watched the video carefully: "No, they are not that woman's people." Although he did not film the opposite side, from the way they spoke, his accent was not right. He did not recognize any of them. They should not be the people sent by Mrs. Gu.

"At this point, I can only make the best of it." He had done so many things and didn't want to end up with nothing. Gu Wuhen took a deep breath, then opened the video he had just received on his mobile phone and started the video editing software.

It was a restless night. Mrs. Gu tossed and turned in bed, her mind full of the image of Yugiri being tied up. She could not fall asleep. She turned her head to look at Mr. Gu who was snoring heavily. She got up quietly, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and walked out quietly.

Yugiri has been missing for a day. It is already early morning and dawn will come in a few hours. The longer she is missing, the more dangerous she will be, not to mention that she is a pregnant woman.

Mrs. Gu was very worried and anxious. She walked out of the bedroom and came to the yard outside. She looked around and saw that there was no one there. She took out her cell phone and was about to call Achang to ask him if he had found Xiwu.

Just then, her cell phone rang and there was a message.

Mrs. Gu thought it was a message from Achang, and excitedly opened her phone. A video message immediately popped up on her phone. She opened it and saw a bloody scene of chopped fingers. She was so scared that her face turned pale, her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the phone. She couldn't help screaming: "Ah..."

Gu Wuhen saw her walk into the yard from the bedroom, so he came out and stood behind her. Seeing her panicked back, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "How about it? Seeing your illegitimate daughter's fingers cut off, are you heartbroken and in pain?"

Hearing Gu Wuhen's voice, Mrs. Gu turned around quickly. Seeing the malicious and sinister smile on his face, she almost collapsed.

She rushed forward quickly, staring at him angrily with eyes full of tears: "Gu Wuhen, the person you hate is me, if you have any dirty tricks, just come at me, why do you want to implicate innocent people, she is innocent, she knows nothing..."

"Innocent?" Gu Wuhen laughed loudly. "No snowflake is innocent during an avalanche. I gave you a chance, but you were reluctant to give up the wealth and glory of the Gu family. You chose the Gu family, so you should be mentally prepared."

Mrs. Gu clenched her fists tightly, opened her eyes wide with anger, and stubbornly refused to let the tears fall. She gritted her teeth and said, "You have done so many evil things, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution?" Gu Wuhen sneered shamelessly, "From ancient times to now, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. As long as I become the master of the Gu family and control everything in the Gu family, who dares to touch me? Who can touch me?"

Gu Wuhen's face looked a little ferocious. People die for money and birds die for food. He was just fighting for what he deserved. He did nothing wrong. She was the one who was wrong. She shouldn't have given birth to so many daughters to compete with him for the family property.

"You've fallen into the abyss of fighting for power and gain. There's no hope for you." She had never thought of competing with him for anything. She just wanted a harmonious family. She had worked hard for so many years, but he didn't see it. She was really tired. Her lack of competition became her original sin, and now she had harmed her own daughter.

Gu Wuhen was not angry at her scolding. He shrugged and said calmly, "You can scold me as much as you want. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Your good daughter just broke her finger. If you don't confess to my father, you can just wait to collect the body of your illegitimate daughter."

"You..." Hearing his devastating threat, Mrs. Gu was so angry that her whole body trembled.

"Don't talk about yours and mine anymore. I don't want to waste time talking. I've already given you the ultimatum. Which is more important, the wealth and glory of the Gu family, or the life of your own daughter? Time is running out, so make your own choice." Gu Wuhen turned and left with a weird smile on his face.

When he turned around, the smile on his face quickly disappeared. Yugiri had been rescued, and Mrs. Gu didn't know the news yet. He could only take a gamble now.

If Mrs. Gu could not bear the inner torment and the condemnation of her conscience, and ran to confess to Mr. Gu that Yugiri was her illegitimate daughter, he would win. If she insisted on enduring it and would rather watch Yugiri die than confess, then all he had done would be in vain.

Gu Wuhen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes grim and somewhat scary.

Mrs. Gu stood in the yard, and thinking of the danger that Xiwu might be facing now, she couldn't help trembling all over, and tears finally slid down from the corners of her eyes: "My poor child, I didn't take good care of you since you were a child, and now I'm causing trouble for you. I'm sorry for you, Xiwu, my child, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

She was too willful back then. She didn't want to follow the family's arrangements and just wanted to let herself go. She ran away with a random man and even had a child with him. By the time she came to her senses, it was too late.

"Mom can't keep making the same mistake again. Even if I have to give up everything, I will still save you." She owed Yugiri too much, and she couldn't bear to watch her get hurt any longer. She had to shoulder the responsibility of being a mother, even if it would leave her with nothing, she would not look back.

Mrs. Gu clenched her fists tightly, raised her hand, wiped away the tears sliding down her face, then walked back to the bedroom to confess Xiwu's life experience to Mr. Gu.

"Mom, what do you want to do?" Gu Kebing, who had seen what happened just now, ran out in panic after hearing what Mrs. Gu said, hugged her arm and prevented her from going in.

She still smelled strongly of cigarettes and alcohol. She had just come back from outside. Compared to the past when she would come back at dawn, she came back early tonight.

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Kebing, who was dressed up in fancy clothes and smelled of alcohol and cigarettes, and felt even more tired. She looked at her and said with red eyes: "Kebing, when I was young, I made a mistake and harmed an innocent child. Now I want to atone for my sin and save her."

"What?" Gu Kebing did not sympathize with her experience. After hearing her confession, he became angry. "You want to save that bastard, but what about me? Have you ever thought that if you save her, you are pushing me into the abyss? Mom, how can you be so selfish? If you want to save her, you have to sacrifice me?"

Seeing her angry face, Mrs. Gu said sadly: "I owe her this, Ke Bing, you are a child of the Gu family, your father will not do anything to you, and you are still the third daughter of the Gu family, no one can shake you."

"No, you're lying. My dad knows you have an illegitimate daughter outside. How could he possibly treat me as her daughter? He will definitely vent his anger on me and drive me away. Mom, I beg you. You and that bastard have never lived together. You have no feelings for her at all. I'm different. I've lived with you for so many years. I'm your support and your future. You can't choose to sacrifice me."

Gu Kebing was very anxious. Her plan was about to be realized. As long as Gu Wuhen did something stupid again, her father would depose him and she would become the only heir of the Gu family.

By then, she will be rich and powerful, able to call the shots, and it will be no problem for her mother to recognize several illegitimate daughters. Now is the critical moment, and she absolutely cannot let her ruin her own future.

"Ke Bing, I know that what I am doing will make you unhappy, but I have made up my mind. I can't just watch Xiwu get killed and do nothing. She is my daughter, my own flesh and blood after ten months of pregnancy. I can't just ignore her. Please let me go."

This is the only way she can save Yugiri. At this point, Mrs. Tani has given it her all. Even if it means she will lose everything and be condemned by thousands of people, she will still save her daughter.

"No, Mom, I can't let you ruin my future. I won't let you go." Gu Kebing grabbed Mrs. Gu's arm tightly, not letting her go.

"Ke Bing, please let go. She is your sister. She is in critical condition now. When it is dawn, I will have to collect her body. Please let go. I want to save her." Xiwu, her poor child, no one can save her now except her. Mrs. Gu struggled and tried to push away her hand.

"No, I won't let you tell anyone. I've worked so hard to get to this point. I will succeed soon, and I can't let you destroy my achievements." Gu Kebing grabbed her arm tightly and refused to let go no matter what.

"Let go, Ke Bing, Mom is begging you, I want to save Xiwu, I don't have time, she will die and two people will die, we can't do this anymore, please let go..." Mrs. Gu struggled anxiously and waved her hands hard. Seeing that she was still holding on to her tightly, she couldn't help but get anxious and worried.

Gu Kebing held her tighter: "I won't let go. I won't let you do anything that will ruin us. Mom, listen to me. Gu Wuhen is just threatening you. He doesn't dare to kill Xi Wu. He is also afraid of going to jail. Calm down. The Huo family and the Gao family are both looking for Xi Wu. Maybe they have found her. Just be patient..."

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but burst into tears: "He dared, he would definitely dare, he even cut off Xiwu's fingers, his next step is to take Xiwu's life, Ke Bing, please forgive your mother for being selfish, I really can't just ignore her..."

Mrs. Gu was almost on the verge of collapse. In desperation, seeing that Gu Kebing refused to let go of her hand, she opened her mouth and bit her hand.

Gu Kebing's hand was bitten by her and he screamed in pain: "Ah... It hurts..."

Mrs. Gu bit very hard, she was determined to get what she wanted. Gu Kebing was in so much pain that she had no choice but to let go.

Mrs. Gu was freed and immediately rushed into the house. She wanted to find Mr. Gu right away and confess to him that Yugiri was her illegitimate daughter. Only in this way could she save Yugiri's life.

She owed Yugiri too much, and she was willing to give everything she had in exchange for her life.

"Mom, listen to me, you can't say that, you can't ruin me, Mom..." Gu Kebing chased after her in a rage, and when he saw Mrs. Gu preparing to go upstairs to the bedroom to find Mr. Gu, a flash of anger suddenly appeared in his eyes.

She is also her daughter. Why should she choose to sacrifice her to fulfill the illegitimate daughter outside? She is not convinced and she is not willing to accept it.

She had been planning for so long and had done so many things. It was not easy for her to push Gu Wuhen onto the path of self-destruction. Everything in the Gu family was within her grasp, and she absolutely could not let her destroy her achievements for that bastard.

Gu Kebing suddenly gritted his teeth, reached out to pick up a vase on the table, rushed forward quickly, and smashed it hard on the back of Mrs. Gu's head.

Mrs. Gu never dreamed that the daughter she raised would kill her for profit. She felt a pain at the back of her head and her strength was gradually drained away. She slowly turned her head and looked at the panicked Gu Kebing, her face full of disbelief and disappointment: "Kebing, you..."

Gu Kebing took a step back and said in panic, "Mom, I don't want to do this. You forced me to do this. I don't want to do this. I am also your daughter. Why do you only think about that bastard? I really don't want to do this..."

It's all Xiwu's fault. If it weren't for her, the mother and daughter wouldn't have ended up like this. It's all her fault.

Mrs. Gu's body gradually went limp, and she fell down the stairs, staring at Gu Kebing with a pair of hateful eyes until everything went dark and she passed out. Her cell phone fell out, and the screen lit up, flashing, indicating that a call was coming in.

Gu Kebing saw that the person calling was Achang, but she felt guilty and did not dare to answer the call. She simply hung up and turned off the phone, then helped Mrs. Gu into her bedroom.

She helped Madam Gu onto the bed, and quickly went to find the medicine box to stop the bleeding on the back of her head. While bandaging her, she was still making excuses for herself: "Mom, don't blame me. You forced me to knock you out. If you want to blame someone, blame that bastard. If she hadn't appeared, we wouldn't be like this. It's all her fault."

She would never allow anyone to destroy her goals, not even Mrs. Gu.
