Chapter 985: Chapter 985: Resentment Hard to Dissipate
Guo Ji looked at his hands, and could certainly tell, Guo Xuwen’s injury was absolutely abnormal.
Burns don’t react like this, do they?
Guo Ji now also looked suspiciously at his son.
Guo Xuwen sat back in the chair, his body seemed boneless, slumped over the table, gasping continuously, it was as if the whole person was being roasted dry.
Next to him, Xia Xin saw at this moment, the person behind Guo Xuwen, engulfed in a blazing flame.
Those flames were surrounding Guo Xuwen, actually roasting him on a fire.
This might really burn him to death!
Xia Xin suddenly felt a bit uneasy; if Guo Xuwen died at their Jiaoyang Temple, wouldn’t that be a major disaster?
Xia Xin anxiously looked at Jiangli.
Jiangli remained unfazed, as if he hadn’t noticed Xia Xin’s gaze, staring at Guo Xuwen without speaking.
“Xuwen, Xuwen—”
Su Lifan saw Guo Xuwen’s state, and tears instantly overflowed from her eyes, quickly walking to Guo Xuwen’s side, reaching out to touch him.
As soon as her hand touched Guo Xuwen’s skin, the scorching sensation made her reflexively withdraw her hand.
She looked at her reddened fingertips, somewhat incredulously staring at Guo Xuwen.
As if she thought of something, she suddenly turned around, knelt before Jiangli, “Abbot, I beg you, beg you, save our Xuwen, I’ll do anything you want as long as you save him…”
Jiangli examined Su Lifan, saying: “You know what Guo Xuwen has done, right?”
Su Lifan was jolted, her tears seemed to forget to continue flowing, looking at Jiangli breathlessly.
Jiangli said: “You originally had two sons, but now you have only one, that son died violently, gruesomely, right?”
Su Lifan’s body shook, plopped onto the ground.
Guo Ji was a bit puzzled, “We have two sons, the eldest is Guo Xuwu, who accidentally drowned in the river two years ago, but what does that have to do with Xuwen’s situation?”
He didn’t understand why Jiangli suddenly brought this up.
Jiangli pointedly said: “This matter, you should ask your wife.”
Guo Ji looked at Su Lifan, bewildered.
Su Lifan’s face went pale, her tightly clasped hands turned a bluish-white, yet she didn’t speak.
Guo Ji was about to inquire further when suddenly.
Guo Xuwen caught his breath and spoke again, “Dad, Mom, let’s go, don’t listen to this person’s nonsense…”
Jiangli coolly said: “Since you’re at death’s door and refuse to repent, no one is to blame, suit yourself.”
Guo Xuwen looked at Jiangli, a flicker of fear and hatred shone in his reddened eyes.
He was afraid of the outcome Jiangli spoke of, yet hated Jiangli for ‘speaking nonsense’ and watching him die without helping.
Now he truly regretted coming to find Jiangli.
He couldn’t be bothered dealing with Jiangli anymore, slowly turned his head towards Guo Ji, “Dad, let’s go, I’m in too much pain, better head to the hospital…”
Su Lifan heard him, looked at Guo Xuwen, opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately remained silent.
Guo Ji was utterly confused, sensing mother and son seemed to be hiding something from him, but seeing Guo Xuwen weak and his condition deteriorating, he dared not linger.
Better trust science and hospitals these days.
Guo Ji glanced at Jiangli, seeing she had no intention to stop them, frowned then walked over, covered his hands with clothes, and helped Guo Xuwen out.
Seeing this, Su Lifan struggled to get up from the ground.
Seeing she was about to leave as well, Jiangli suddenly spoke, “Time is running out, his grievances won’t dissipate, seeking revenge, if you’re stubborn, no one can save him.”
