Chapter 308 To Hell We Go

Bai Rong jumped out of bed and rushed all the way to the beach at top speed.

"Hey! Hey!" She started waving the gigantic leave on the beach in an attempt to grab thefishermen'’s attention.

However, the fishermen failed to notice her presence and made their way elsewhere after a shortwhile.

Why? How could this happen?

A gloomy expression loomed over her face because of the departing fishing boat. The exhausteddroop of her shoulders indicated she was dejected.

After Gu Mingchen returned with a bucket of water, he asked concernedly, “Rong? What are youdoing here?”

She pointed in the direction of the departing boat because it had yet to travel across the horizon.He placed his hands on her shoulders and consoled the dejected woman, “Actually, it's not a badthing because at least we're aware there are boats passing by this area. Perhaps they failed to noticeyou because there were merely a few of them. They would have to keep an eye on the fish.”

She nodded in return since there wasn't much she could do about it.

When she turned around, she realized he had filled the mineral bottles and the bamboos with water.He handed over a bottle of water to her and said, “Give it a try! The water I have acquired tastesreally refreshing!”

She took a sip as instructed and was surprised by the refreshing taste of the water.

It was a gift bestowed upon them by mother nature. She couldn't believe such a wonderful springexisted in the middle of nowhere.

She started feeling better with him by her side.

After she got a grip on herself, she suggested, “I think we need to make something that's able tograb the attention of the passing boats. We can't afford to lose the next opportunity to leave theisland.”

“To grab others’ attention, we need something loud or something big and special. Let's connect theleaves that are everywhere using the ropes and hang them on the bamboo that's at least thirty feettall. I'm sure they won't miss such an obtrusive item.”

“Well, shall we get going and collect the leaves? Let's gather as many as we can!” The anxiouswoman dragged the man along with her immediately, marching in the direction of the woods.

Gu Mingchen followed her and asked in a gentle tone, “Have you always been such an impatientwoman?"

“Isn't it normal for humans to have different sides? After all, we need to deal with differentsituations in life. For instance, we may show our sprightly side whenever we're at work, but when wereach home, we may not want to speak with our family members and behave like a shut-in aroundthem.”

“Rong, no matter what sort of personalities you have, you'll always be the one and only in my mind,”Gu Mingchen announced, insinuating something else.

Her eyes flickered because she knew the actual meaning behind his words.

She paused abruptly and turned around, looking at him in the eyes as she orated, “Bai Rong hasbeen living in pain over the past three years because she was diagnosed as a psychiatric patient.Over the past three years she spent in the United States, she tried to get rid of her symptoms, yetshe failed. I guess it's true when others say doctors can never cure themselves. When she made herway back, her condition worsens. She was on the verge of breaking down due to all sorts ofincidents, including your relationship and your child with Zhou Hailan, the time you almost passedon because of her, and the fact she would never get you. She had been devoting herself to theresearch of hypnosis and tried to hypnotize herself out of love for countless times.”

Seconds after pausing, he added, “Her only goal was to move on from you and the past, yet she hadnever once succeeded because she could never reach her subconscious self. On the day you werereleased, Su Xuyan brought her to meet you in person, yet your family members and friends, as wellas your ex-girlfriends, started picking on her. They said things would never work out between bothof you. She had to brace herself through such tormenting sessions because she couldn't tell themthe truth. When she needed someone the most, I showed up to her rescue. That was the reason shehad delivered the notebooks to you and asked you to get rid of her bag.”

After hesitating for a short while, she decided to stop keeping him in the dark. “I wandered aroundfor a long time, yet I noticed there was nowhere else we could go. Since you had moved on fromher at Jadeborough and made her go through a series of misfortunes there, I decided to visit thatlocation. After wandering around aimlessly for a few days, I couldn't take it anymore. When I wasabout to pass out, I heard a thunderous honk and had the shock of my life. That was the time BaiRong made her way back. She felt lost and confused because she couldn't recall the things I haddone, yet I was aware of the foolish decision she made.”

Staring at him in the eyes, she continued, “She thought something was wrong with her, but it wasnothing more than a dissociative identity disorder. Perhaps you may consider her a psychopath, butI don't think there's anything wrong and consider both of us different individuals cohabiting in thesame body. I was there because I wanted to keep her safe from harm. As soon as she reached herfriend's house, you showed up. She was touched and thrilled by your presence, yet her heart wasshattered into pieces because she knew things would never work out between both of you.”

After much consideration, she decided to tell him everything she had been keeping to herself.

“She decided to hurt you and provoke you to drive you away from her. In the end, she achieved hergoal because you shut her out of your life. After your departure, she started smashing everythingshe could get her hands on to vent her anger, yet it didn't seem to work at all. The foolish womanended up suffering and tried to hypnotize herself again. I will never forget her bloodshot eyes andher pitiable look. Over and over again, she begged, wailed, wept, and complained. However, therewasn't anything the helpless woman could change. I thought she wanted to move on from you andthe past for real, yet that was never her goal—she merely wanted me to carry on the tasks she hadyet to accomplish.”

After she finished her orated speech, she lowered her gaze.

"What tasks are you referring to?” Gu Mingchen asked.

She raised her head and peered into his eyes and started recalling her goals, including curing BaiBing, taking Su Xuyan out so he couldn't hurt Gu Mingchen anymore.

Most importantly, she would have to leave A City when it was about time for her to leave the world.She would spend the last moments of her life in a place where no one could reach her. All shewanted was to pass on peacefully without anyone knowing, especially Gu Mingchen.

Her vision blurred as tears welled up.

Bai Rong seemed to have forgotten about the affection she had for him when she hypnotizedherself.

She should have turned her into an indifferent agent without any emotions to achieve her goals.“Are you going to help Bai Rong achieve her goals?” Bai Rong asked

“I willl” Gu Mingchen answered without a second thought the second he heard the question.

She was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of emotions and felt a prickling sensation behind her eyes.Sniffling, she said, “She wants to get rid of her mother's condition and return the favor to thoseshe’s indebted to. If it's possible, she wants to travel the world—" Before bringing up the last goalBai Rong had in mind, she gazed at Gu Mingchen. “She wants you to take good care of yourselfwhen she’s not around.”

"What do you mean?” He was confused by her reply and responded with his brows furrowed inconfusion.

“Su Xuyan is a cunning man. If you're not cautious, he’s going to get the better of you again. I needto stay by his side as your mole to protect you. Can you allow me to do that?” Bai Rong queried.

He grasped her hand and denoted, “No! I can't live without you! I will exercise caution and won'tallow him to get the better of me again!”

“I won't return to him anymore, but no matter what happens, can you promise me to take goodcare of yourself and refrain from trying anything silly?” she queried.

Smirking, he gently caressed her chin with his thumb and asserted, “We'll spend the rest of our lifetogether carrying out all sorts of activities. I won't allow death to do us part because I'll be joiningyou in the afterlife the moment you leave the world behind.”

She started sobbing. The last thing she wanted was to have him in the afterlife with her because shewas merely a few weeks away from a trip to hell.
