Yuan Qiaolan snorted coldly and looked at Chu He with contempt. “What do you think I mean?” Chu He’s anger was about to explode.
“Yuan Qiaolan, do you understand what I’m saying?”
“So what if I understand?” Yuan Qiaolan was disdainful of Chu He. “So what if I don’t?”
“You… You…” Chu He was trembling with anger. Yuan Qiaolan was angrier than Gu Qingcheng. She said angrily, “Yuan Qiaolan, Gu Qingcheng must die!
Because if you can’t get her 800 billion, you’ll lose your life!”
“Ha! I won’t lose my life.” Yuan Qiaolan looked at Gu Qingcheng with an unfathomable gaze. “I have what she wants.”
“You…” Chu He was stunned. “Yuan Qiaolan, you can’t do this! Don’t forget how much money you’ve taken from me all these years!”
Yuan Qiaolan threatened Chu He with a smug look. “Whether I can do it or not depends on how obedient you are.”
“No matter what I do,” Chu He said angrily, “you’ll never get the 800 billion that bitch Gu Qingcheng has!”
“If I say I can get it, I will definitely get it! I want 800 billion.” Yuan Qiaolan stared coldly at Chu He and said arrogantly, “But don’t worry, I won’t ruin our relationship.”
It was obvious that she didn’t just want Chu He’s money; she also wanted Gu Qingcheng’s money.
One person swallowing two fortunes, the greedy behavior was evident.
With that, she said to Chu He with a face full of disdain, “Tsk tsk, look at how pathetic you are. To think that you’re the wife of Gu Tianhao, the chairman of Gu Corporation. Mrs. Gu was acting like a shrew just to torture Gu Qingcheng. A woman like you is not as elegant and dignified as Mu Xia.”
The fact that Chu He was not as elegant and noble as Gu Qingcheng’s mother, Mu Xia, made Chu He so angry that she wanted to tear Yuan Qiaolan apart.
“Yuan Qiaolan, how dare you humiliate me like this!”
“I have the right to insult you! You and I both know how you climbed into Gu Tianhao’s bed and how you entered the Gu family’s wealthy circle.” Yuan
Qiaolan gave a fake smile. “Chu He, come on. Gu Qingcheng is unconscious.
Don’t put on airs between us. Otherwise, if you piss me off, I might really give Gu Qingcheng the thing you’re most afraid of.”
Chu He’s pupils suddenly shrank, and her anger vanished.
“Yuan Qiaolan, don’t worry. I promised you that I wouldn’t kill Gu Qingcheng, and I’ll do it.” This is a remote place,” she said to Yuan Qiaolan. “I’m going to torture Gu Qingcheng for a few days until she loses her will. When the 800 billion yuan is yours, she’ll kneel before me and admit defeat.”
“That’s what I like to hear.” Yuan Qiaolan smiled when she saw Chu He fawning over her. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
She thought for a moment and then said, “But no matter how much we torture Gu Qingcheng’s will, we still need to find someone to take care of her. After all, you tortured her so badly that it looked like she had no wounds on her body, but in fact, she was injured all over. I still have to give her food and drinks.
Otherwise, if she dies, my 800 billion yuan will be gone.”
Yuan Qiaolan had something on Chu He. Chu He wanted to kill Gu Qingcheng immediately, but she couldn’t ignore Yuan Qiaolan.
“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to watch over her. I won’t let her die.” Only then did Yuan Qiaolan turn around and leave, feeling relieved.
Chu He clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She stared at Gu Qingcheng, who was on the verge of death, and gritted her teeth.
She used all her strength to suppress the urge to kill Gu Qingcheng and prepared to leave.
But she stopped after a few steps, took out her phone, and began to take pictures of Gu Qingcheng. Finally, she left.
“Give her good food and drinks every day.” Outside the door, Chu He instructed an old woman. “Don’t let her die.”
The old woman looked at the thick wad of cash in her hand, and her eyes lit up. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of her.”
Yuan Qiaolan covered her nose and got into the car with a disgusted expression.
Chu He looked at Yuan Qiaolan from the corner of her eye, then swept her gaze across her surroundings.
Surrounded by mountains and forests, this was the only place that was a deserted garbage dump. Gu Qingcheng was tied up in the old woman’s room full of garbage.
She turned her body slightly and approached the old woman, giving an order with a vicious look in her eyes.
When the old woman heard Chu He’s words, her face turned pale with fright, and she said in horror, “This… This…
“Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly.” Chu He stuffed another handful of money into the old woman’s hand and gave her a bag of white powder. “The woman locked up in the room should have died long ago. After you’re done, I’ll give you a million dollars as a reward.”
The old woman had never thought that she could earn a million yuan in her life. She finally nodded.
Although it was early summer, the weather was getting hotter.
However, the temperature in the mountains was much lower than in the urban areas. The mountain springs in the mountains were especially cold.
A bucket of ice water was poured over Gu Qingcheng’s head, forcing her to wake up.
The piercing pain made her gasp.
She looked at the old woman in front of her in a daze. Her eyes swept across her surroundings. Chu He and Yuan Qiaolan were no longer in the dilapidated little house.
“Let’s eat.” The old woman poured the bowl of rotten porridge into Gu Qingcheng’s mouth. “Open your mouth!”
Gu Qingcheng gritted her teeth and turned away, her eyes fierce.
“Get lost!”
The bowl in the old woman’s hand was not steady, and a bowl of rotten rice fell to the ground.
“Don’t blame this old woman.” She placed the bowl on the table and picked up a bunch of needles, stabbing them into Gu Qingcheng’s calf. “You’re paid to help someone. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending them.”
The tearing pain spread throughout Gu Qingcheng’s body. She didn’t know whether it was the cold or the pain, but she was trembling all over.
She gritted her teeth so hard that she almost broke them, but she couldn’t withstand the pain. Her vision went black, and she fainted again.
When she woke up, the room was pitch-black. She did not know how long she had been unconscious.
She was cold and in pain. Despair crawled all over her body.
It was as if there was a voice in her ear that kept shouting at her, asking her to give up resisting. No one would come to save her. Just as Chu He said, she had nothing.
NO!
She would never admit defeat to fate.
The pain hit her again, and she fainted again.
In a daze, she heard the old woman muttering and feeding her water. The water was very bitter, so bitter that it was even more uncomfortable than the pain in her body.
In the next moment, she clearly felt the old woman stab the needle into her leg and body again.
It hurt.
The pain was so unbearable that she fell into darkness.
The next day, at noon.
Huo Sicheng hadn’t slept or rested for two days, but Gu Qingcheng never came back to him.
Gu Qingcheng’s location on his phone hadn’t changed at all. He had searched for her countless times anxiously, so he decided not to wait for her to contact him.
The next moment, he dialed Gu Qingcheng’s number, only to receive a notification that her phone was off.
Frowning, he walked toward the beach where Gu Qingcheng was.
It was a hot day, and the sun was blazing. People were playing in the water by the beach, but Gu Qingcheng was nowhere to be seen.
Huo Sicheng inched closer to Gu Qingcheng with his phone.
His face darkened when he looked at the pile of rocks in front of him.
“Ah Qing, go find her.”
The driver, Ah Qing, walked to the rubbish-strewn pile of rocks and found the phone that had been soaked in seawater and had a broken screen.
“Young Master.”
Huo Sicheng frowned and took the phone from Ah Qing.
This phone was a custom-made gift for Gu Qingcheng. It was waterproof and wasn’t completely broken from the immersion, though the same couldn’t be said about its badly damaged body.
When Gu Qingcheng was at her most angry, she only returned the phone to him. She had never broken it.
For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy.
“Chu Yu, go and check on Madam’s whereabouts.” His voice was filled with anxiety. “Also, check where Qi Shaoze has been these past two days!” Chu Yu subconsciously asked Huo Sicheng, “What’s wrong with Madam?”
