1148 True Colors
“Elder sister, what kind of wine is this?” Cheng Gu asked.
“This? They say that it’s… medicinal wine! My husband treasures it a lot! He hides it away and doesn’t let me drink it! But I will drink it! I want to drink every single drop of it! Also, it’s a gift from that little b*tch! Come, come, come, let’s drink it all! Drink it all! Don’t leave a single drop left!” Tan Jing said as she held onto Cheng Gu’s wine glass, unable to even sit up straight anymore.
Not long after, Tan Jing crouched over the table and fell asleep. No matter how hard Cheng Gu tried, he could not wake her up. He put down his glass and looked at Tan Jing coldly, the usual gentle look disappearing from his face.
Not long after, many people entered the courtyard, all of them wearing black suits. One of them knocked lightly on the door and walked in.
The man first took a glance at Tan Jing to confirm that she was sleeping soundly. He thought that it looked like she would not wake up even if there was a thunderstorm or an earthquake. Only then did he dare to speak to Cheng Gu.
“Boss, the matter has been settled. That nanny is still in the warehouse and she demands to see you. As long as she’s awake, she will start shouting so we have knocked her out for now,” Lu Miao said respectfully.
Cheng Gu took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands in disdain. “See me? Why does she want to see me? Can’t you even handle such a small matter well? I’ve really taught you for nothing! Can’t you just kill her?”
“Isn’t she a hostage? We don’t know how we should handle it so we’re waiting for your instructions,” Lu Miao said.
“Then just drug her. It’s too annoying if she makes a lot of noise every day. Make sure to stuff her mouth and if it doesn’t work, then cut off her tongue,” Cheng Gu said irritably.
Lu Miao looked at the drunk Tan Jing and wondered what to do about her. For a moment, Cheng Gu also did not know how to deal with her. Based on her own description, she was just an insignificant member of the Xia family. However, Cheng Gu had known the Xia family for many years and he did not believe that Xia Wen was someone who would abandon his wife.
“Take this woman with us and get our brothers to scare her a little. If anyone dares to touch her, you can just chop him up,” Cheng Gu said.
“Alright, I understand.” With that, Lu Miao found someone to carry Tan Jing and he left the room as well.
Cheng Gu looked at the remaining bit of wine in front of him and thought about the plan he executed during this period of time. He smiled mockingly and drank it all in one gulp. He would settle both their old and new grudges together!
Since the Xia family did not give him an easy time, he would not let the Xia family live a good life either. He must make them pay the price in blood.
A woman valued her reputation the most. If Tan Jing knew that her reputation was ruined, that would be quite a show to watch. After spending such a long period of time with her, Cheng Gu would not go to the extent of killing a woman like her. After all, Tan Jing played a part in the success of his current plan. Without Tan Jing, his plan would not have progressed so smoothly. Letting his brothers play with her but not really touching her was already the greatest concession which Cheng Gu could give to her.
The next morning, Tan Jing slowly opened her eyes. The surroundings looked completely different from what she was familiar with. She did not know where she was, but she was surrounded by metal sheets in a place that looked like a warehouse.
“Let go of me! Where am I! Who are you!” Tan Jing shouted hoarsely.
Lu Miao opened his eyes groggily. This woman was really annoying. They already could not touch her, yet she still made so much noise so early in the morning. Their band of brothers were still sleeping!
However, given that she belonged to Cheng Gu, they did not dare to lay a finger on her.
“Why the hell are you shouting! Stupid whore, shut your mouth! This is my territory! If you want to stay alive, you’d better shut your mouth and stop making noise. Otherwise, if you disturb our boss, you won’t have many days to live,” Lu Miao threatened.
“Who’s your boss? What grudges are there between us? Let me go and I’ll give you money! My husband’s family is very rich! You should go and look for them, not me!” Tan Jing said fearfully.
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying! I told you to shut up! Shut up! If you make any more noise, I’ll cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs!” Lu Miao said as he looked at Tan Jing impatiently.
Tan Jing lowered her head and closed her mouth in fear. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair was in a mess. She could roughly guess what had happened, but even under such circumstances, she wanted to keep herself safe and stay alive.
