Chapter 562: Lock her In the Dungeon
Translator: _Min_ |
Wang Sui was utterly absorbed in the thought that he would definitely come to rescue her, paying no mind to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen’s face turned sour with anger as he declared, “I’m eager to see just how capable this ‘he’ you speak of is, capable enough to take someone from our royal custody.”
Wang Sui met Lin Chen’s gaze with determination, stating, “He will surely use all his power to save me!”
Su Ci, reminded of the dealings between Wang Sui and her father, felt a deeper revulsion. He was on the verge of shattering Wang Sui’s illusion when suddenly the sound of footsteps reached his ears.
He furrowed his brows slightly and looked up, only to be momentarily stunned upon seeing Gu Dai and Su Ting enter. Regaining his composure quickly, he turned away and clumsily attempted to put on his mask.
Aad, observing Su Ci’s actions, spoke indifferently, “The chamber has been equipped with surveillance. We are aware of everything that has happened here. Covering up now is futile.”
Su Ci’s movements froze, and the mask slipped from his grasp, hitting the ground with a muffled thud.
Gu Dai and Su Ting had many questions for Su Ci, but recognizing the timing was off, they turned their gaze towards Wang Sui.
Gu Dai stepped forward, speaking lightly, “The person you love is merely using you. You are just a pawn to him; he has no reason to waste his energy to save you.”
Su Ting added, “Nor would he waste his time.”
Wang Sui, facing the scornful looks from Gu Dai and Su Ting, felt their mockery. Her eyes turned bloodshot with rage, and a fierce look flashed through them as she hoarsely yelled, “Shut up, all of you shut up!”
Wang Sui continued, “He will come to save me. He does care for me in his heart, so he must come!”
Gu Dai earnestly responded, “He will not save you.”
Wang Sui gritted her teeth and shouted, “He will!”
Gu Dai simply shook his head, stating lightly, “He won’t.”
Wang Sui, infuriated by Gu Dai’s calm demeanor, could find no words to retort. Her gaze towards Gu Dai filled with malice, she suddenly stood and lunged at her, screaming, “I’ll kill you!”
Before Wang Sui could reach Gu Dai, she was restrained by someone grabbing her arm, immobilizing her.
Su Ting tightened his grip and coldly warned, “If you dare touch her, you won’t see tomorrow’s sun.”
Wang Sui trembled in fear, feeling the bone-piercing pain in her arm and pleading for mercy, “I was wrong, I was just speaking out of anger. Let me go, I won’t hurt her!”
Su Ting didn’t believe Wang Sui’s words.
Neither did Aad, who ordered the guards to come in and restrain Wang Sui.
Lin Chen approached with concern, “Her skin is delicate; being grabbed like this will hurt her, loosen your grip…”
Aad fixed a stern gaze on Lin Chen, “Dad, have you been showing her many of the state’s decisions lately? You have time to worry about her, but you should rather think about how many projects we’ve lost and how you’ll explain to the noble families tomorrow!”
Lin Chen immediately shut his mouth, the thought of the upcoming nagging causing him a headache.
Seeing Lin Chen fall silent, Aad turned to the guards and ordered, “Lock this woman up in the dungeon!”
Upon hearing ‘dungeon,’ Wang Sui exclaimed in alarm, “No, I won’t go to the dungeon!”
Her individual strength was no match for a group of guards, and she could only cry out to Su Ci for help, “Save me, come and save me, have your father come save me!”
Su Ci looked on with a cold laugh as Wang Sui was dragged away.
How could someone so cold-hearted, willing to harm their own flesh and blood, ever consider saving her?
Aad, witnessing Wang Sui’s miserable state, couldn’t help but reveal a radiant smile, “After feeling stuffed for so many days, we’ve finally dealt with her!”
She exhaled in satisfaction, then turned her gaze to Su Ci, and looking towards Gu Dai, she inquired, “Should this person also be locked up?”
As Su Ci met the gaze of Gu Dai and Su Ting, his heart raced. He whispered hesitantly, “I…”
Before he could finish, his phone rang. It was a call from Father Su.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Ci looked up at Gu Dai, then decided to answer the call and switched on the speakerphone.
As soon as the call connected, Father Su’s angry voice echoed throughout the chamber.
Father Su exclaimed, “Su Ci, you’ve really outdone yourself, daring to oppose me. I sent you to deal with Gu Dai, but not only did you refrain from harming her, you’ve been protecting her at every turn.. Well, don’t blame me for not caring about our relationship when the time comes!”
