Lu Wu already knew that Gu Mang was the Gu Family’s eldest daughter.
Gu Mang had led so many people here and demanded Leng Xuan upon reaching the Red Scorpion supermax prison.
He subconsciously thought that she was here to take Leng Xuan away.
He lowered his head and said, “Ms. Gu, Old Madam’s death is related to Leng Xuan.”
Every word he said made Gu Mang’s eyes appear darker.
Lu Wu said that Old Madam’s death was related to Leng Xuan and not related to her. None of Lu Chengzhou’s subordinates suspected her either.
“So?” Gu Mang’s voice was cold but she was rather patient.
Lu Wu looked up at her. His head was now lower than before. “So I’m afraid that you cannot take her away.”
Gu Mang glanced over. “Who told you that I wanted to take her away?”
Lu Wu paused.
…
On the other side.
Lu Chengzhou pushed the apartment door open and walked in. He looked around. It was quiet inside and there was no sign of anyone inside.
There was only a cup of water on the coffee table which proved that someone had indeed been here. There was red lipstick on the cup.
Lu Chengzhou’s dark eyes narrowed slightly at that. Gu Mang never wore makeup.
Just as he was thinking about who else could have come to the apartment, his phone rang.
It was a call from Lu Wu.
Lu Wu said, “Young Master Lu, Ms. Gu is at Red Scorpion’s supermax prison!”
When he saw the message, he couldn’t think about anything else. He put away his phone and strode out.
…
At Basement 2 at Red Scorpion’s supermax prison.
Leng Xuan was locked up separately from the rest of the medical team.
Basement 2 was the darkest place in the prison. A metallic and cloying smell filled the air inside it. It was ghastly, moist, and scary.
Leng Xuan was in the cell at the very end of the hall. She refused to sit down as the cell was dirty. She had been standing the whole time so she looked really displeased.
At that moment, a man walked over and scanned his fingerprint to open the door.
Leng Xuan looked over. She saw a man walk in and they dragged her out by her arms.
She had been treated like this twice in a day. Leng Xuan had never been humiliated in such a way before. She clenched her teeth tightly.
The other members of the medical team in the cell at the other end of the hallway were taken out as well.
All of them had stable mental states. They did not make any sound and they remained indifferent.
They went up to Basement 1.
Leng Xuan had just finished ascending the stairs when she saw Gu Mang sitting in front of her with her arms crossed. Her coat and hat were in Jiangsui’s hands and she was wearing a loose sweater. Her body looked a little thin.
The subordinate brought Leng Xuan and the rest of the medical team over to her, then he took out the key to unlock Leng Xuan’s handcuffs. The handcuffs on the rest of the medical team were also removed.
Leng Xuan looked down at where the handcuffs had been and sensed that they were going to let her go. She did not expect Gu Mang to be here to rescue her.
She must be very unwilling to do so. But no matter how unwilling she is, she has to obey the Elders’ Association’s instructions and send me back unharmed.
The rest of the medical team had contempt in their eyes.
The Elders’ Association had spent a lot of effort and yet they could not manage to invite this mysterious first daughter of the Gu family back to Jijing Island. They thought that she was someone who was hard to deal with.
She is just so-so.
Leng Xuan smirked and squeezed her wrist. “We invited you back to Jijing Island in a grand manner but you refused to come quietly. You only agreed to behave and return after becoming a street rat who has been criminalized by the Lu family,” she said slowly as she looked at Gu Mang. “Now the Elders’ Association is forcing you to send me back unharmed. Ha, I thought you were more capab-”
Leng Xuan’s chilly scream of agony echoed throughout the supermax prison.
No one saw Gu Mang move but there she was, strangling Leng Xuan against the concrete wall.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Leng Xuan opened her mouth and her eyeballs bulged with fear. The green veins at the corner of her forehead showed how strong Gu Mang was.
The medical team looked startled.
Other than Leng Xuan’s medical skills, the reason that she held such a high position in the Elders’ Association was because she had unmatched combat skills.
Why was it that now…
Lu Wu was also startled. Although they put Leng Xuan in the supermax prison, they had no intention to get physical with her yet.
Gu Mang squinted and looked at Leng Xuan. The corners of her lips slowly curled up and she pressed her face to her ears. Softly, she said, “Me? This is all I am capable of…”
With all of her breath being squeezed out of her, Leng Xuan had no strength to fight back.
Gu Mang retreated slightly. “Jiangsui.”
“Got it.” Jiangsui took the silver metal case and opened it up to face Gu Mang. “Sister Mang.”
Leng Xuan trembled violently when she saw the empty medicine bottle and the syringe filled with light yellow liquid.
She opened her mouth, but could not speak due to Gu Mang’s hands around her throat. Fear appeared in her eyes.
“So you enjoy playing with toxins? Let’s see how you handle this.” Gu Mang slammed Leng Xuan against the wall and picked up the syringe.
Leng Xuan panicked. She choked out three words. “If you dare…!”
Gu Mang twirled the syringe twice as if it were a pen. She stopped suddenly and plunged it into Leng Xuan’s neck violently.
Leng Xuan’s whole body tensed suddenly. She saw that Gu Mang’s dark eyes were cold and cruel. She looked hostile and intimidating. She pushed the syringe down all the way calmly.
Gu Mang let go. Pop! She threw the syringe into the case casually.
Leng Xuan knelt on the ground miserably and gasped for air while holding her neck.
Lu Wu watched silently.
The mighty, youngest Elder of Jijing Island instantly became trash in the hands of Ms. Gu…
