"During that period, he often came to me. Maybe because he had no one else to confide in, he treated me like someone who could never escape his clutches. When he spoke to me, he did so without any consideration. Afterwards, I learned many of his secrets... He frequently got drunk and would babble nonsense... saying he regretted, regretted how he treated Ziteng... He even said he wanted to kill Gu Lianhe, claiming that if it hadn't been for him, he would have never treated Ziteng that way... He was like a person possessed, blaming everything on Gu Lianhe... In the later years, the person he cursed the most was Yingteng, saying she was untrustworthy. He couldn't rely on Yingteng to kill Gu Lianhe, saying that Yingteng liked Gu Lianhe. He had to find another way to deal with Gu Lianhe."
