Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1247: I Am the Baiming Sect Leader
"Trust." Gu Li nodded with a smile.
"I believe you wouldn’t lie to Brother Gu, whether it was when you were young, now, or in the future. As long as you say it, I believe it."
Jun Wuchen’s hand, resting on his abdomen, weakly clenched, his mood suddenly heavy.
He looked at Gu Li for a long while, and with a complex expression in his eyes, he said, "Brother Gu, I am Wuchen."
With no confidence, yet he said it so firmly.
"I know."
Gu Li smiled.
That was enough.
"But... I am also someone else."
Gu Li was stunned, the smile on his face froze: "...Brother Gu doesn’t understand."
Jun Wuchen smiled helplessly, looking at the air, and sighed softly.
Talking to himself: "How should I tell you..."
He is Jun Wuchen, and also Nie Jiuque.
Indeed, he and his enemy were reincarnated into related kin.
And this result was arranged by him.
"It’s okay, I can wait until you’re ready to tell."
Jun Wuchen looked at the tension and worry in Gu Li’s eyes, unable to form words for a long time.
Seeing Jun Wuchen hesitating to speak several times, Gu Li’s heart tightened and panicked.
"Since you don’t know how to say it, I’ll ask, and you answer."
"...Okay."
"Why were you wearing a mask and dressed like that appearing at the Bai family? Does the sudden attack on the Bai family have anything to do with you?"
Three seconds later, Jun Wuchen replied, "I went to the Bai family to save Jun Moyan."
The mention of "Jun Moyan" made Gu Li feel uneasy.
It wasn’t just Moyan, but the full name Jun Moyan.
Wuchen had cherished Moyan since they were young, why suddenly address him so formally?
"The attack on the Bai family has nothing to do with me."
"What about the mask and clothes?"
His attire was too strange; even for a rescue, it wasn’t necessary to dress like that.
Moreover, Wuchen had been in a wheelchair for so many years, only recently able to walk normally, with his frail health since childhood, claiming he went to save Moyan.
"Do you really want to know?" Jun Wuchen’s eyes flashed with concern.
"Yes."
"I..." Jun Wuchen hesitated.
"Gu..."
"Tell me what you’ve been hiding from everyone." Gu Li didn’t give him a chance to evade. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Jun Wuchen looked at him, with eyes full of reluctance.
His gaze left Gu Li at a loss.
Instinct told him the truth would be cruel, so cruel he felt a bit retreating.
After struggling repeatedly, Jun Wuchen closed his eyes slightly, as if not wanting to see Gu Li’s expression when he couldn’t accept the truth.
"... The Sect Leader of Baiming Sect is me."
"What?!"
"Bang."
The water cup in his hand slipped and fell to the ground, instantly shattering into pieces.
Water splashed onto his pants, but he didn’t care.
Gu Li widened his eyes, looking at Jun Wuchen in disbelief.
His words were like an atom bomb exploding in his mind, leaving him completely dazed.
His mind was blank, unable to think normally.
The color drained from his face visibly fast.
"Wuchen... you, what did you just say? Brother Gu didn’t hear clearly."
His voice trembled uncontrollably, his body quivering as well.
He heard it clearly, so clear that he thought it was false, a joke, a farce.
Jun Wuchen looked at Gu Li’s shrinking pupils and repeated heartlessly, "The Sect Leader of Baiming Sect is me."
"No, it’s impossible." Gu Li’s face was pale, still unwilling to believe.
"You, you’re joking with Brother Gu, right?" His pale smile was heartbreaking to see.
