Chapter 430: Chapter 385 Are You Going to Kill Me for Her?
Mu Shuoqian coldly stared at the disoriented Gu Yunxi. When he first saw her, he thought she was the person he was looking for, but it turned out she wasn’t. It was also then that he discovered Gu Qili had an older sister.
"Why are you doing this?" Mu Shuoqian leaned on the sofa, "She’s your sister."
"Sister?" Gu Yunxi sneered, "Mu Shuoqian, don’t tell me you don’t know. Although we are sisters, there’s not a single bit of kinship between us. I can’t bear the title of ’sister’ that you so casually use."
Mu Shuoqian was silent, unsure of what was on his mind.
"As for why I’m doing this, it’s simple. I want revenge for my mother." Gu Yunxi’s eyes flashed with intense hatred, "It was you people who killed my mom."
"Did you ever ask your mom what she did thirty years ago? There is no love or hatred without reason in this world. I can only say that she fully deserved her own fate, and no one else is to blame," Mu Shuoqian’s voice was ice-cold, "Your uncle didn’t tell you about the past, did he?"
Gu Yunxi snorted coldly: "I know what she did. Wasn’t she the one who sold you and your mom to Detroit?"
Mu Shuoqian’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a hint of ferocity in them. Knowing this, Gu Yunxi still spoke so nonchalantly. Was her mother human, and his mother someone to be cruelly trampled upon at will?
"Haha, your mother was someone else’s mistress and even had a child. She deserved it for not abiding by the norms. And that Gu Dezhong, he should have taken that secret to his grave, yet he left behind diaries. If Gu Qili hadn’t uncovered the past, how could my mother have died so miserably? You all are murderers, deserving death," Gu Yunxi’s lips twitched, "Mu Shuoqian, even if I can’t kill you, your wife will soon die. She has cancer, she’s unfilial to her own mother, even the heavens can’t stand it, so they’re letting her die just like my mom, in agony."
After saying this, Gu Yunxi suddenly burst into loud laughter: "Even if I don’t lift a finger, you won’t end up well. You’ll definitely get your retribution."
Mu Shuoqian slightly closed his eyes, then waved his hand, calling two men in.
"Gu Yunxi, for someone as selfish as you, living is truly a form of self-torture."
"What do you want to do?"
"You’re right, Qiqi does have a terminal illness, but that was before you appeared. I have already sent for your blood type to be matched, and many of your indicators are highly compatible. You are the best candidate to donate a liver to her."
Donate a liver?
Gu Yunxi panicked, "What are you talking about?"
"Literally, not hard to understand."
"You want to kill me for Gu Qili? You want to extract my liver and transplant it to her?" Gu Yunxi looked at him as if he were a madman, shaking her head continuously,
"You’re right. Since I dare to do such a thing, I’m prepared for the worst. Four years ago, due to my negligence, she suffered irreparable harm. Now, no matter the cost, I will not let anyone hurt her."
Gu Yunxi suddenly thought of something: "You... you’ve known about my plans from the start? Did you deliberately set me up to lure me out?"
"Correct. I was worried I couldn’t find you, and you delivered yourself to my doorstep. How could I miss such an opportunity?" Mu Shuoqian was done talking, "Lock her up."
The two strong men carried Gu Yunxi like a small chicken and threw her into a storage room on the second floor. The room had no windows and all around was securely nailed. Seeing these fresh wooden materials, Gu Yunxi knew he had planned this all along. From the moment she intended to act against Gu Qili, she had fallen into his trap. He didn’t expose her just to secure her, testing her blood type, and once it matched Gu Qili’s, she would have no escape from death.
This man, he didn’t care about anything for the sake of Gu Qili, even ready to risk his own life without blinking. Gu Qili, what kind of fortune had she cultivated in her past life.
Gu Yunxi didn’t want to die, especially not so horribly, but Mu Shuoqian was determined, and escape was impossible.
She paced restlessly in the room, unable to think of any feasible plan.
In the end, she thought of Gu Qili. This was Mu Shuoqian’s decision; Gu Qili might not yet know. If she knew Mu Shuoqian intended to harvest her sister’s liver and transplant it to her, she probably wouldn’t agree.
No matter what, this was her only chance of survival, but she couldn’t meet her, so how could she convey this message?

"Young Master Qian, this was found in that woman’s bag," one of the subordinates handed over a bottle-like object to Mu Shuoqian, "There are two bottles in total."
Mu Shuoqian picked up the small bottle to examine it. The packaging was simple, with no instructions. He opened it and sniffed, but there was no smell.
He recalled Gu Yunxi’s attentiveness in the past two days, cooking and making coffee. She clearly harbored great hatred for him, and even if she was pretending to be Gu Qili, she wouldn’t need to do it herself. There was only one explanation; she wanted to poison his food.
"Take it for a lab test."
"Yes, Young Master Qian."
After his subordinate left, Mu Shuoqian picked up his phone and sent a message to Luo Shangqing: "Everything is ready."
As long as the pre-operation preparations on Luo Shangqing’s side were ready, he could proceed with his plan.
Mu Shuoqian took out a share transfer document from the drawer, transferring all his properties to Gu Qili and Mu Qinian’s names, taking effect once confirmed and notarized by a lawyer.
This time he was putting all his eggs in one basket, having already prepared for the worst. Perhaps for the rest of her life, he might not be able to stay by her side, but as long as she could live well, what would a lifetime of separation matter? Besides, he could still see her, even if he couldn’t accompany her, it was better than being eternally separated.
Thinking this, a wistful smile appeared on Mu Shuoqian’s lips,
Gu Qili felt increasingly uneasy, plagued by nightmares all night, waking up in the morning feeling exhausted.
Mu Shuoqian had arranged for a doctor for her here, and after she woke up, the doctor came over as usual to check on her health.
"Miss Gu, all your indicators are very good. Keeping a positive attitude is the best treatment method," said the doctor who looked to be in his thirties, speaking in a gentle and soft tone.
"Doctor Chen, thank you." Gu Qili removed the cotton pressed against her vein, "Doctor Chen, how long have you been a doctor?"
"I have been working in the hospital ever since I graduated, and it’s been four years now," Doctor Chen put away his tools, "Miss Gu, your husband really treats you well, arranging for a doctor to accompany you wherever you go."
Gu Qili smiled: "Sometimes he can be quite unreasonable too."
For example, leaving her here by herself, completely out of contact, not allowing her to make calls, nor letting her leave the villa.
"Men can get unreasonable when they are overbearing, but it’s all because they care about you," Doctor Chen, having nothing else to do, started chatting with her, and the two of them hit it off, feeling as though they met each other too late in life.
At noon, Yuan Yi brought over lunch; his phone had broken yesterday, and he had replaced it with a new one.
"I need to get some fresh air outside," Gu Qili knew that even if she asked for a phone, Yuan Yi wouldn’t give it to her, and Doctor Chen’s phone had also been handed over when he first arrived here.
"Madam, I’ll accompany you," Yuan Yi immediately put down his utensils.
"No need, I’m not going far. Doctor Chen can accompany me," she said.
"Alright then," Yuan Yi agreed readily, considering the area was remote and had no vehicle traffic, he thought Gu Qili wouldn’t leave and seeing her calm demeanor, he believed she genuinely just wanted a breath of fresh air.
Gu Qili and Doctor Chen took a walk along the path behind the villa, finding solace in the blue sky, white clouds, and trees.
"Miss Gu, do you want to call your husband?" Doctor Chen suddenly lowered his voice and glanced back uneasily, afraid of being discovered by Yuan Yi, "I still have a phone."
Gu Qili blinked, looking at him puzzled.
Doctor Chen slightly embarrassed: "Before coming here, Mr. Yuan said we couldn’t bring phones, but I really miss my son. If I don’t video call him, I can’t sleep at night. So, I secretly brought two phones, handed one over, and hid the other in my room."
"Doctor Chen, you’re clever," Gu Qili giggled, "shall we go back now?"
"You mustn’t tell Mr. Yuan, or I’ll lose my salary," he said.
"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t betray you," Gu Qili playfully gestured a ’shush’ to him.
Yuan Yi didn’t expect Gu Qili to return so soon; he was standing in front of the window talking on the phone and immediately hung up upon seeing her, "Madam."
"Hmm, I’m going upstairs to watch TV with Doctor Chen. Call me if you need anything."
"Alright, madam," Yuan Yi did not suspect a thing.
Once in the room, Doctor Chen locked the door and retrieved the hidden phone from under the pillow.
Gu Qili took the phone to the balcony and soon dialed Mu Shuoqian’s number.
After a few rings, Mu Shuoqian’s voice came through the phone, sounding a bit husky and tired: "Hello."
Gu Qili pursed her lips, not speaking immediately; it had only been two days since they last met, yet it felt like two years. Hearing his voice, she felt an inexplicable ache in her heart.
"Hello, who is this?" Mu Shuoqian’s tone was getting impatient.**
