After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 106 I will let you live, and you will live. I will let you die, and you will die.

She stopped pretending, straightened up, looked at Jiang Zhenbang, her eyes filled with resentment that had been building up for over twenty years: "Yes! I switched the children! I killed Shen Jiao! But all of this was forced upon me by you!"

"I love you so much! I've done so much for you! But what have you done? You only have eyes for Shen Jiao! You've never even glanced at me!"

"What's so great about Shen Jiao? She just comes from a better family than me. Why should she marry you and become the mistress of the Jiang family? Why should her daughter inherit everything from the Jiang family?"

"I'm not reconciled! I'm going to switch her daughter! I'm going to make my daughter the eldest daughter of the Jiang family! I'm going to make you live the pain of losing your daughter for the rest of your life!"

"You're insane! You're absolutely insane!" Jiang Zhenbang was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he coughed while clutching his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Manli suddenly rushed forward, pointing her finger at Jiang Zhenbang and cursing loudly:

"Dad! What right do you have to talk about Mom like that! You're crazy! I've called you Dad for twenty-six years! You've spoiled me for twenty-six years! And now you're saying you don't recognize me anymore? What gives you the right?"

"Even though I'm not your biological child, I've been with you for twenty-six years! When you were sick, I was the one who stayed by your bedside to take care of you! On your birthday, I stayed up all night preparing a gift for you! What has Jiang Xinlan ever done for you? She's just a bastard who suddenly appeared out of nowhere! What right do you have to give her everything?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Zhenbang trembled with rage. "You're not allowed to talk about her like that! She's my daughter! My only daughter! You're nothing but the daughter of a thief! You stole twenty-six years of her life! I've already been more than kind by not sending you to prison!"

After saying that, he picked up his phone to call his bodyguard: "Someone! Throw those two out of here! They're never to set foot in the hospital again!"

Seeing that Jiang Zhenbang was really going to call for help, Liu Wanhua's eyes instantly turned fierce.

She pulled the white jade bottle containing the mother Gu from her pocket, held it up in front of Jiang Zhenbang, and said with a sneer, "Jiang Zhenbang, don't push your luck. Do you think you still have the final say?"

After saying that, she squeezed the white jade bottle in her hand hard with her fingertips.

"ah--!"

Jiang Zhenbang suddenly let out a piercing scream.

He clutched his chest and fell heavily off the bed, his body convulsing violently.

A piercing pain spread from his heart to every corner of his body. He felt as if countless tiny insects were crawling and gnawing at his internal organs in his blood vessels, or as if a red-hot dagger was slowly stabbing at his heart.

His face instantly turned ashen, his forehead was covered in large beads of cold sweat that streamed down his cheeks, his lips turned bluish-purple, and even breathing became difficult.

"President Jiang!" The bodyguard next to him was so frightened that he rushed over to help him up.

"Don't touch him!" Liu Wanhua shouted sharply, her cold eyes sweeping over everyone present. "Anyone who dares to touch him will suffer the same fate as Jiang Zhenbang!"

The bodyguards stood frozen, exchanging bewildered glances, too afraid to move. Looking at Jiang Zhenbang's pained expression and then at the white jade bottle in Liu Wanhua's hand, they were filled with dread.

Jiang Zhenbang lay on the cold floor, writhing in pain, sweeping everything off the bedside table. He looked up at the white jade bottle in Liu Wanhua's hand, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

"What...what did you do to me?!"

"What did I do?" Liu Wanhua looked down at him, a sinister smile on her face. "I've placed a Mother-Child Bond Gu on you. Now, the child Gu is in your body, and the mother Gu is in my hands. I can make you live, and you will live. I can make you die, and you will die."

"I added a poisonous insect to the millet porridge you just drank. From the moment you drank it, your life was in my hands."

"You vicious woman!" Jiang Zhenbang gritted his teeth, speaking each word with excruciating pain. "I won't let you go! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

"You won't let me go?" Liu Wanhua sneered, squeezing the mother Gu in her hand even harder. "Let's see how you won't let me go!"

Another wave of even more intense pain struck.

Jiang Zhenbang curled up in pain, groaning in agony as his fingernails dug deep into the floor, leaving several bloody marks.

He felt like his heart was about to explode, his vision went black, and his consciousness began to blur.

"How are you feeling? Not good, are you?" Liu Wanhua squatted down, looking at his pained expression, her tone icy.

"Jiang Zhenbang, I'm giving you one last chance. Cancel your meeting with Jiang Xinlan immediately. Hold a press conference at 10:00 AM today to announce your retirement and transfer all shares and power in the Jiang Group to Manli."

"If you behave, I won't let you suffer like this anymore. Otherwise, I'll make you experience this living hell every day until you die from the pain."

Jiang Zhenbang lay on the ground, his whole body soaked in sweat, his clothes so wet you could wring water out of them.

His mind was in turmoil.

He did not want to give in.

He wanted to see his daughter and apologize to her in person.

He wanted to send Liu Wanhua and Jiang Manli to prison so they would pay for what they had done.

But the excruciating pain was just too unbearable.

He felt as if his soul was being torn apart; if this continued, he would truly die from the pain.

"I... I won't..." He used his last bit of strength to utter a few words with difficulty.

"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." Liu Wanhua's eyes hardened, and she activated the mother Gu again, this time using all her strength.

This pain was more intense than all the previous ones combined.

Jiang Zhenbang's eyes were wide open, he was making hoarse noises, his hands and feet were twitching uncontrollably, and white foam was even spilling from the corners of his mouth.

He felt like he was about to die.

Finally, he could no longer hold on and was completely controlled by the Gu.

His eyes gradually lost their luster and became empty.

"I... I promise you..." he said with his last bit of strength.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wanhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She put away the mother Gu, a smug smile on her face.

Jiang Zhenbang lay on the ground, panting heavily. He stared blankly at the white ceiling, a hot tear streaming down his cheek and soaking his hair.

My heart is crying out in sorrow:

I'm sorry, Xinlan!

Dad is so sorry!

Dad couldn't see you!
