Chapter 695: Chapter 695: This Is Too Cruel

"Hello?"

A solemn and upright voice came through the phone: "Hello, is this Comrade Gu Jiajie?"

"Yes, it’s me."

Gu Jiajie sat beside An Mingji, leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, pressing his forehead with one hand.

"Comrade Gu Jiajie, hello, your sister Gu Minmin—"

Leaning on the sofa, Gu Jiajie suddenly opened his eyes wide upon hearing the voice coming from the phone.

He sat up straight in an instant: "What did you say!"

His sharp, incredulous, trembling voice, mixed with anger, echoed through the large room.

Everyone was shaken by his intense demeanor.

"Comrade Gu Minmin has sacrificed." The voice from the phone was very clear, with a hint of sorrow.

Those present who had cultivation skills heard the message clearly from the phone.

The smiles on the faces of Gu Jin, An Mingji, Yu Shuo, and others faded away.

"You’re talking bullshit!" Gu Jiajie stood up and angrily yelled at the phone, then threw it aside.

"Bang!"

The phone hit the wall and fell to the ground, with the body not being very damaged, showing how strong it was.

Gu Jin stood up and walked straight to the phone.

She picked it up, checked the call history, and dialed the latest unknown number.

The call connected, and she identified herself, inquiring about what happened.

"Hello, I’m Gu Minmin’s cousin—"

After confirming her identity, the person on the other end quickly informed her of the details of Gu Minmin’s sacrifice.

"Yes, I understand, alright, okay... We’re at Night Paradise, if it’s convenient you can bring it over, or we could come to get it ourselves later."

By the end, Gu Jin’s voice was hoarse.

The news of Gu Minmin’s sacrifice was something she couldn’t accept either.

But the facts were in front of her, and she didn’t know how to refute it.

Back then, when Gu Jiajie mentioned Minmin giving up her studies and leaving, she had wondered if it might be related to her time in the military, yet she never expected the girl to be so bold.

Being with people involved with drugs, how had she managed over these months?

An eighteen-year-old child choosing such a path, who gave her the courage for this?

Qiu Qianghai, along with those who had no cultivation skills, was completely in the dark.

Whether it was Gu Jiajie’s agitated behavior, or the solemnity on Gu Jin’s face, the heaviness in her voice, it all made everyone feel the seriousness of the situation.

"What’s going on?" Qiu Qianghai asked Yu Shuo beside him.

Yu Shuo had a grave expression on his face, looking sympathetically at his uncle.

He knew his uncle liked Gu Minmin and had been searching for her whereabouts.

He didn’t know how to break this heavy news to him, it was just too cruel.

"Uncle—"

Yu Shuo called out to Qiu Qianghai, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything more.

Gu Jin hung up the phone, turned to see Gu Jiajie’s tear-streaked face, her eyes tinted with a light red.

Faced with her expression, a chill ran through Gu Jiajie’s heart, and he collapsed to the ground, shaking his head continuously to deny the truth: "No, it can’t be, it’s impossible—"

Qiu Qianghai suddenly seemed to realize something, his face changed drastically.

For such a mature person, who led a large entertainment company, like Gu Jiajie to lose control, something big must have happened in eight or nine out of ten cases.

The first thought that came to his mind was Gu Minmin, the feeling growing stronger.

He got up and walked briskly towards Gu Jin, "What happened? Is it about Gu Minmin?"

Gu Jin’s eyes were filled with grief, unable to say anything, not even able to nod.
