At this moment, the door to the third floor of the dungeon opened. A strong smell of blood assaulted their noses. Gu Zheng slowly walked forward with his long legs.
Gu Zheng was still wearing that light-colored suit. The noble and elegant young master appeared in the dark and damp underground prison. He looked indifferently at the man whose hands and feet were bound with chains. “I didn’t expect Lu Yan’s subordinate to be so stubborn.”
The man was lying on the floor, covered in blood. He smiled crazily. “Kill me! I’ll never tell you a word! You vicious fellow, you’ll go to hell sooner or later!”
Gu Zheng sneered. He had never bothered to pretend in front of outsiders. He only pretended to be gentle in front of Mrs. Gu. Had he been too gentle recently, which made these people forget his ruthless methods?
Gu Zheng sat lazily on the chair and looked at the man with cold eyes. His thin lips parted slightly. “Don’t tell me you think I won’t kill you because you’re very important to me?”
The man lying on the floor froze, his eyes filled with horror. Then, he roared crazily.
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm. He did not react to his roar at all. He said slowly, “Will Lu Yan know that you’ve suffered so much?”
The man lay on the floor, his body twitching violently. “Ah, ah…!”
“I just want to know the truth behind Madam Lu Qingyun’s death back then. If you’re unwilling to tell me, then forget it. Anyway, I’ll be able to find out one day.” Gu Zheng’s voice was indifferent as if he was talking about something unimportant.
“Since you’re unwilling to cooperate with me, I can only send you to hell!”
The man looked up and met Gu Zheng’s cold eyes. Knowing that he was about to die, he let out a crazy roar. His roar echoed throughout the entire dungeon.
Gu Zheng knew that this man would not say anything else and gradually lost his patience. He turned around and was prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the man smiled sinisterly. “Gu Zheng! My hands are stained with human lives. I should go to hell! But what about you? Are you a good person? You’ll definitely be even more miserable than me after you die! You’ll suffer retribution sooner or later!”
Hearing this, Song Shijing shuddered and wanted to cover the man’s mouth.
However, Gu Zheng waved his hand calmly. “Let him speak.”
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done. You set up a trap for Young Master Lu Yan and made the Lu family slowly decline in his hands. You’re a sinister and cunning person!” The man shouted, “I’ve been locked in this dark dungeon by you for God knows how long. I’ve been tortured by you until I’m half-dead. Other than me, there must be others who have been tortured inhumanely here. You’ve caused so many lives to be lost. You…”
He paused for a moment before suddenly laughing out loud. “You’re vicious, but your face is handsome enough to confuse Mrs. Gu and make her think that you’re a gentleman. Unfortunately, paper can’t put out fire. Sooner or later, she’ll know the truth. Guess what her reaction will be when she finds out?”
Gu Zheng pursed his lips, his eyes deep. His expression did not change, but the next second, the man mocked him even more.
“Your weak Mrs. Gu must not know that you’re such a vicious man. When that delicate woman finds out the truth, will she break down and leave you because she’s afraid? Or will she die like Eldest Miss Lu? Hahaha…”
Gu Zheng: “…” Was this all Lu Yan’s subordinates could say?
He looked up and met Song Shijing’s eyes. This man was too childish to want to anger him like this.
These people still did not know Mrs. Gu well enough. Beneath her weak appearance was a heart as tenacious as his. How could she be afraid?
…
At night, Shen Yu and Luo Qing visited.
The butler and Song Shiyu were very curious about Luo Qing. The pavilion master of Ling Pavilion was as unapproachable as the rumors said. He had a handsome face and faint gray eyes. He looked like a prince from another country.
He hurriedly went forward and said respectfully to the two of them, “Hello, Mr. Shen and Young Master Luo! Please take a seat. Young Madam is still upstairs. Please wait a moment.”
Not long after, Qiao Xi ran down the stairs like a butterfly. “Eldest Brother! Second Brother!”
The corners of Luo Qing and Shen Yu’s mouths twitched. Didn’t Little Six want to pretend to be weak? What kind of weak girl would run down from upstairs?
Shen Yu looked at her with gentle eyes. “Little Six, did Tang Ruge look for trouble with you again today?”
