Wen Jiu enjoyed a delicious meal, and after finishing, she leaned back in her chair contentedly, her eyes squinting with comfort.
Gu Xun rested his chin on his hand, looking at him with interest. "Are you full?"
"I'm full." Wen Xiaojiu, fully aware of his status as a prisoner, got up and walked towards his room. "I'm going back now. You can take your time packing."
Gu Xun smiled and gently tugged at the chain in his hand.
Wen Jiu hadn't taken more than a few steps when she stumbled and almost kissed the ground!
"What are you doing?" Wen Jiu glanced at the chain that had appeared on her right foot without her noticing, and looked up in astonishment. "When did you put it on?!"
Gu Xun smiled gently, "When you got up."
"..." Damn it.
"I'd like to show you around my home." Gu Xun bowed slightly, his posture elegant and pleasing to the eye. His well-tailored shirt and trousers made him look even more handsome and affectionate.
"Is that alright, my little guest?"
Wen Jiu forced a smile; her lips were red and vibrant after eating the spicy food, making them look very inviting.
However, the words that come out of her mouth aren't so pretty.
"No, I'm not interested in your home. I'm full and want to go back to sleep."
The man frowned and said, "That's really troublesome."
After saying that, she walked over and hugged him.
Wen Jiu retreated repeatedly until his back hit the wall, only then realizing that there was no room for negotiation.
This is a luxurious castle in the classical style of the Country M, surrounded by a large estate with roses planted in the courtyard. Further away are green lawns and vast forests, making for a beautiful but also very secluded location.
Wen Jiu wanted to memorize the room layout and the positions of the bodyguards so she could secretly plan her escape route later, but the place was just too big.
Wen Jiu was led around the house and the manor by him, and when they returned, her brain felt like a phone that had been reset to factory settings.
Clean and tidy.
Wen Jiu almost cried from her own stupidity!
Tired?
Wen Jiu shook her head, her face pale and exhausted.
"You might wonder why I call this place 'home'," Gu Xun said cheerfully. "It's clearly just a man-eating house."
Wen Jiu shook her head vigorously: No, I didn't.
The more you know, the faster you die!
That's how it's written in novels!
But the man didn't need his response, and said to himself, "Because you came."
Wen Jiu frowned slightly.
" The Pei Family's old house was a den of iniquity. I didn't like it, so I killed everyone who lived in that house and moved here."
Gu Xun said calmly, "From then on, this place became another Pei Family."
Wen Jiu took a step back and suddenly felt that the air in this area was even colder.
"Before you came, this was just a man-eating monster." Gu Xun looked down at him, his eyes filled with infatuation and tenderness. "But now that you're here, this is our home."
"..."
"..."
The room was quiet. Director Lu, who was working on his deployment, paused, subconsciously glancing at Feng Chi beside him.
The twenty-odd people present felt a chill run down their spines after hearing Gu Xun's words, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
They were afraid of upsetting the accompanying family member again.
Wen Jiu coldly refused, " Gu Xun, I'm married."
My home is in the capital, in the Imperial Residence.
"You're a madman, a deranged murderer." Wen Jiu took a step back, her voice trembling with fear, but she still said firmly, "I hate you, I always have."
"Ha, who do you like? Feng Chi?" Gu Xun sneered. "And how do you know he's not just another madman?"
More than twenty pairs of eyes once again cautiously glanced at Feng Chi.
Wen Jiu choked, then angrily said, "You're not allowed to talk about him like that!"
" Feng Chi and I are the same kind of people; it's just that he met you before I did."
Gu Xun's gaze turned dangerous. He reached out and grabbed Wen Jiu's shoulder, pinching his chin and staring directly into the anger in his eyes.
She whispered, "He just met you before I did..."
More than twenty pairs of gossipy eyes once again turned to Feng Chi.
The man was unusually calm, sitting there silently, his body stained with blood.
Coupled with that cold, expressionless face, it was indescribably chilling.
Wen Jiu's hair stood on end; he found this person utterly inexplicable!
"I don't want to watch anymore! Get out!"
"You think you're so sentimental? For what you've done, I will never forgive you!"
Don't compare yourself to Feng Chi!
Wen Jiu's voice had never been so cold before. His usually clear peach blossom eyes were devoid of any smile. When he was cold-faced, Gu Xun even saw the shadow of Feng Chi in him.
Each word, spoken slowly and deliberately, cuts straight to the heart.
"I find it disgusting."
These words left no room for argument, and no one could understand what the boy was thinking. After all, the best course of action at this moment was to go along with him.
There's no benefit in angering this deranged serial killer.
Everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief for Wen Jiu.
Only Feng Chi couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Under everyone's gaze, he parted his thin lips slightly and said with a cold sneer, "Now I finally know what you're all up to."
If the goal is to kill Gu Xun, Wen Jiu is the sharpest blade.
Lu Xing guiltily wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly, "That's what that person thought too."
" Gu Xun told Wen... that his feelings towards your wife had changed at some point, and he was the first to notice."
Feng Chi gave a symbolic clapping. "Talented."
Lu Xing felt the wound on his face start to hurt again.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Gu Xun was not angry. He remained calm, letting go, stepping back, and speaking gently as always.
I'm taking you to see someone.
Wen Jiu felt like he had punched cotton, and was so angry that he didn't want to say anything.
Gu Xun affectionately reached out to take his hand. Wen Jiu tried to dodge twice but couldn't. The moment their skin touched, he instantly got goosebumps all over.
"I'll take you there right away."
Gu Xun gently and patiently emphasized it again. Wen Jiu couldn't resist him and was forced to go down the escalator to the basement. The cold air hit him in the face, making his legs weaker and weaker.
"I promise you'll really want to see him like this." Gu Xun gently pushed the person forward and said softly, "Go."
Wen Jiu's hands, hanging by her sides, were trembling like leaves.
Mom, how scary!
Help!
I'll never mess with that pervert again, waaaaah!
His Adam's apple bobbed laboriously as he gritted his teeth, suppressing the sob that was about to escape his lips. He tried to appear forceful and pushed out with his hand.
Squeak--
The damp, bloody smell and cold air filled Wen Jiu's nostrils, and she reflexively covered her mouth and nose, gagging a few times.
This is a completely enclosed space, without windows or bright lights; it's more like a torture chamber than a room.
The surrounding area was filled with various whips, sharp knives, long hooks, and iron rods. In the center was a pile of objects Wen Jiu had never seen before, but judging from the bloodstains on them, they seemed even more terrifying than those he recognized.
Next to the object was a huge iron cage, large enough for an adult to stand inside and walk around. A soft padding, stained with blood and somewhat dirty, was laid out in one corner of the cage.
The boy slept on the soft cushion, and because he wasn't wearing any clothes, he could only curl up into a ball.
Wen Jiu shakily raised her eyes, and the boy in the cage also looked over at the sound. Their eyes met, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
Wen Jiu's face turned deathly pale.
