A Lonely Hero’s Journey 孤舟 Episode 11

Gu Yizhong waited for the phone to ring. The phone did ring, but it was Zhou Zhifei looking for him. Gu Yizhong never expected that his father would fall into the hands of No. 90. Zhou Zhifei faced the father and son and revealed their plan. Gu Yizhong just pretended to be shot and gave his father time to leave. Zhou Zhifei was so cunning. When Gu Yizhong saw this, he stopped acting and only hoped that Zhou Zhifei would say something straight.

Zhou Zhifei still hopes that Mr. Gu can serve as the governor of Wu County. He hopes that Gu Yizhong can persuade the old man. After Zhou Zhifei left the office, Deputy Station Chief Huang walked in with a gun and said that there was only one bullet in it. Kondo still wanted to see one. In the drama of beheading his son out of the camp, if Mr. Gu refused to take office, only one of them, father and son, would be able to walk out of No. 90 alive, so he put down his gun and left. Mr. Gu was very alert. He knew that they were being eavesdropped. Mr. Gu was ready to sacrifice. He would not sacrifice his life for the Japanese and did not want his son to be put in danger, so he pretended to scold his unfilial son Gu Yizhong and picked up the The gun on the table, holding the gun to kill himself, to be realistic. Gu Yizhong quickly picked up the gun. When Zhou Zhifei and Kondo Masao arrived, they saw Gu Yizhong pointing the gun at his father. In fact, he intended to cover up the truth and preserve the meaning of his father's sacrifice.

Spring water and sea foam slowly walked out of Gu Xixing's house, and the atmosphere was heavy. Haimo plucked up the courage and asked Quan Shui softly if he had completed his mission and could leave. She knew in her heart that Quanshui brought her to Suzhou with the original hope of using her relationship with the Gu family to stay in Gu Yuan, but now it seemed that there was no use for it. Quan Shui's eyes were complicated, and the originally hidden murderous intention dissipated due to Hai Mo's sincere care. While deciding to let Haimo go free, she told him a cruel news: Haimo's younger brother had unfortunately died in an air battle. This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing Haimo's world to collapse instantly. The letters that Quan Shui showed Hai Mo before were all written by her. When they parted, Quan Shui took out a stack of letters, handed them to Hai Mo and left without looking back.

Gu Yizhong walked heavily into Gu Garden carrying his father's body. As soon as he put it down, Fugui punched him angrily and accused him of patricide. Hu Zhiping hurriedly told Gu Huizhong the bad news of her father's death. She collapsed instantly and wanted to rush back to the garden. Fortunately, Hu Zhiping tried his best to dissuade her. At the same time, when Xiao Ruotong heard the news, he was shocked and stiffened, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Haimo saw the news about Mr. Gu's death in the newspaper at the station. She didn't plan to leave, so she turned back to Gu Yuan to express her condolences to Mr. Gu. According to the wishes of taking care of the old gentleman, he was not buried after his death, but placed in Dingjue Temple. Zhou Zhifei knew clearly that he wanted to follow Wu Zixu's example and wanted to watch the Japanese defeat and get out of Suzhou.

Gu Yizhong became the lord in the eyes of the entire family, and Gu Huizhong cut ties with him. From then on, he no longer recognized this younger brother. When they meet again next time, he will definitely avenge his father's murder. When Gu Yizhong returned to Gu Yuan, the servants at home also decided to leave. They had followed Mr. Gu for so many years, and national justice had long been deeply rooted in their hearts, so they did not want to serve Hanjian. In the huge Gu Garden, only Gu Yizhong and Haimo were left.

Haimo wanted to stay with Gu Yizhong, but he insisted on letting her go. As soon as the door closed, Xiao Ruotong appeared, pointing the pistol directly at Gu Yizhong's head. Now she didn't know if she should believe Gu Yizhong, but she always believed that Gu Yizhong would not betray the country. Now, she wanted to hear the truth from Gu Yizhong himself.
