In a dimly lit room, a figure lay motionless on the floor.
Suddenly, a person dressed in black walked up from the corner, holding a bottle of water, squatted down in front of the figure, unscrewed the cap, and poured it directly onto his face.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough!" Jiang Yu coughed incessantly, choked by the fumes. He opened his eyes in a daze, and a stinging sensation came over him as water flowed into them. He instinctively closed his eyes again.
Hearing the sound of a water bottle hitting the floor, Jiang Yu opened her eyes shakily. After blinking a few times, she was met with a dim room with only a faint light coming through the cracks.
Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt weak all over. It was a sedative, and the effects hadn't completely worn off yet. He had used this kind of drug before.
He glanced around in a panic, noticing the figure in the corner. His heart leaped into his throat, and he shouted sharply, "Who are you! You're kidnapping me, do you know that?!"
His hoarse voice echoed throughout the room; apart from that, there was no other sound.
Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with fear. He scrambled to his feet in a panic, but barely moved.
A completely emotionless voice came from the corner, "Mr. Jiang, I advise you to be quiet and not move around."
Jiang Yu's body, which had just stood up, suddenly stiffened. He slowly shrank into the corner, his back pressed against the cold wall, his lower lip almost turning white from being bitten.
He sensed that this was no ordinary kidnapper; he valued his life and dared not gamble with it.
Some water still trickled down his face, down his head to his chin, and then dripped onto the ground. A few drops got into his eyes, and Jiang Yu closed them in fear. Suddenly, his senses were heightened, and he felt as if he were in hell. The sound of his heart pounding and the faint breathing sounds from not far away seemed to echo directly in his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yu heard the sound of the door lock turning and opened his eyes to look in the direction of the sound.
With a snap, the incandescent light switched on. Jiang Yu blinked, his eyes stung by the glare, and then he heard a few coughs.
The fear in his eyes faded, gradually replaced by a terrifying hatred. "It's you."
It's that man in the office.
"Ahem, hello, Jiang Yu, I need you here. I have something to discuss." Chu Yue walked in, and someone immediately placed a chair in the middle behind him.
Chu Yue sat in his chair, looking at the disheveled Jiang Yu, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Are you hiring someone?! You're kidnapping me! Someone will definitely find out I'm missing!" Jiang Yu glared at him fiercely and shouted.
Chu Yue looked at his face with a mocking expression, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The person standing behind him immediately stepped forward, opened the tablet in his hand, and placed it in front of Jiang Yu.
He watched as a person with a similar build walked out of his house on the screen. The man in black dragged the progress bar, and he watched as the person arrived at the airport, and then a plane took off.
Then the man in black showed him a trending topic on Weibo.
'Celebrity surnamed Jiang refused to give a direct answer and quickly left the country'
A bone-chilling cold gradually spread throughout Jiang Yu's body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with panic and fear clearly visible in his eyes.
"What exactly do you want? When did I offend you?"
"Heh cough cough, do you know who your mother is?" Chu Yue swallowed, suppressing the itch in his throat.
Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and did not answer.
"It seems you know."
Chu Yue raised his hand and patted it gently.
A woman in a cheongsam was brought in; her hair, which was styled in a bun, was somewhat disheveled. The person who brought her in gave her a hard shove from behind.
The woman fell directly in front of Chu Yue.
Chu Yue gestured to the men in black to tear off the duct tape that was covering half of her face.
The man in black lifted Jiang Yu's face, which was red from being taped up, and their almost identical eyes met.
Chu Yue coughed lightly twice, covering his mouth, and laughed, "Look, what similar faces."
The woman shook off the man in black's hand, glared fiercely at Chu Yue, and said through gritted teeth, " Chu Yue, I'm your mother! You dare treat me like this? You'll be punished!"
"Oh, well, cough cough, dear Mom, can you tell me, cough cough, who is he?"
The woman instinctively looked away from his eyes.
Chu Yue continued, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, "How could a fool born from a bastard's child possibly give you such thoughts? My Chu Family is not something a bastard can covet."
" Chu Yue, he's your brother!"
"Cough cough cough, I don't have a bastard brother, does he even deserve it? Or rather, do you deserve it? Cough cough, the year Father passed away you said you were going out to clear your head, you said you didn't want anyone to come with you, so no one came with you, cough cough cough, so you went out to find some random man to have a baby with, guess if that person is still alive."
Chu Yue's eyes were icy cold as he looked down at her without any emotion. "I think you've forgotten what the Chu Family does, and what methods I use."
The woman trembled, her voice filled with unconcealed panic. "You can't do that! You'll be punished by heaven!"
"Hehe, you're joking. If there were divine retribution, I would have been reduced to ashes long ago, cough cough cough." Chu Yue covered his mouth, laughing so hard his whole body trembled, his eyes filled with a cold smile.
"Okay, can you tell me when you first came into contact?"
Jiang Yu and she remained silent.
Chu Yue raised an eyebrow. "If you don't want to talk about it, cough cough, it's okay if you don't, I know everything."
"What right do you, a sickly man, have to inherit the Chu Family! You short-lived devil!" The woman couldn't stand the atmosphere and raised her head, cursing like a shrew.
Chu Yue's eyes suddenly darkened. A person behind him stepped forward and slapped the woman across the face, causing half of her face to swell up, showing how much force was used.
"Excuse me, but I'm a member of the Chu Family, while he's just a bastard who crawled out of your belly. Wang Qingyue, don't take yourself too seriously."
Wang Qingyue, the woman who finally had a name, glared at him.
"I won't say any more to you. After all, there's a saying that goes, 'The villain dies from talking too much.' Good luck to you."
Chu Yue naturally positioned himself as the villain.
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
Wang Qingyue got up, wanting to chase after him, but was stopped and pushed back. Breaking down, she turned around and grabbed Jiang Yu's collar, "Are you useless? How can you compete with him like this?"
Jiang Yu glared at her. "If I'm a piece of trash, then what are you? What are you anyway?"
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on her back.
Wang Qingyue suddenly turned her head, and several people walked up behind her with expressionless faces.
What do you want to do?!
Jiang Yu gave Wang Qingyue a sinister look, and just as they were about to get close, he suddenly shoved her. Wang Qingyue fell forward, and the others moved slightly to avoid her, letting her fall to the ground.
Taking advantage of their momentary distraction, Jiang Yu tried to run away; he had previously seen a forest outside.
The group watched him leave without making a move. Wang Qingyue was shocked, unable to believe what had just happened.
Jiang Yu! You bitch!
After a while, Jiang Yu stiffly retreated, and a man holding a gun gradually approached him, his Martin boots making a dull thud on the ground until he was forced back to his original position.
Then he lowered his gun, glanced at the men, sneered, and said cruelly, "Since he likes to run so much, let's break one of his legs."
Jiang Yu shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, I won't run away!"
Seeing the approaching person, Jiang Yu suddenly looked up at Wang Qingyue and shouted, "Mom, please, save me! I can't lose my leg!"
Wang Qingyue turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
"Ah!" A crisp sound rang out, followed by Jiang Yu's miserable scream.
Wang Qingyue's body trembled violently; she was terrified.
The sound gradually faded away. Jiang Yu's leg was twisted, having been broken by being stepped on, and his face was deathly pale.
"Madam Wang, I wish you and your bastard child good luck." He looked at the trembling and disheveled Wang Qingyue, smiled, and then said to the others, "Send them abroad, don't let them die here, it's really bad luck."
One person covered Wang Qingyue's mouth, not giving her any chance to speak, while Jiang Yu, who was standing to the side, had already fainted from the pain.
