Gu Yao took off his glasses expressionlessly, placed them on the coffee table next to him, and slowly unbuttoned his collar.

When Xu San came to his senses, he was trembling all over.

The day he was arrested, he had three ribs broken by the man surnamed Gu!

Even today, I can still clearly remember the pain I felt that time.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! Help! Officer! Help, officer!" Xu San struggled and shouted, ignoring the pain in his ribs.

The blood and saliva that spewed from his mouth splattered all over the quilt.

But no matter how much he shouted or yelled, no matter how loud the noise was, no one opened the door to the ward.

He panicked. Looking at Gu Yao's unhurried back, he suddenly felt that he wouldn't live past today.

"Help! Someone help! Murder!" Xu San screamed frantically as he turned around, trying to press the call button on the bedside table.

As soon as he reached out his hand, something slapped him.

After the burning pain subsided, a long, bleeding mark appeared on his arm.

The pain made him reach out sharply.

But he reached out again, unwilling to give up, and the result was the same as before. However, this time the new bloodstain overlapped with the previous one, forming a big X.

The pain intensified exponentially at that moment.

He didn't have time to think; his mind was completely focused on pressing the call button.

So, enduring the pain, he reached out again.

But... he still couldn't catch the pager.

Because before him, a hand suddenly appeared and ripped off the call button hanging on the headboard.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Gu Yao standing by his bedside, staring at him with sinister eyes.

"No! Don't come any closer! What... what do you want?!" Xu San roared hysterically.

Gu Yao threw the things in his hand on the ground and gently wrapped the belt around his knuckles.

Xu San felt that with each wrap, his breathing became more difficult.

"I...I'll sue you! You surnamed Gu, don't forget, you're a lawyer! This is intentional assault! If I...if I sue you, your career will be ruined! You'll never be able to be a lawyer again!"

"Of course I know, you don't need to remind me." Gu Yao raised one corner of his mouth in a mocking smile.

Xu San was startled, and fear immediately enveloped him.

"You...you knew? You knew and you still dared to hit me! Gu Yao, are you crazy?"

Gu Yao continued to wrap his belt with his head down.

"Compared to you, what is this? After all, you know that human trafficking and organ trafficking are punishable by death, yet you still do it, don't you? And you've been doing it for so many years, haven't you?"

He slowly threaded the last bit of belt through the metal buckle, then tightened it and secured it.

Xu San's breathing became labored as the belt tightened.

He struggled again, trying to get away from the madman in front of him.

However, those damn handcuffs gave him no chance to escape.

"You, surnamed Gu, I'm telling you, this room has CCTV! You're breaking the law! I'll sue you!"

Gu Yao glanced at the surveillance camera on the roof in the corner.

He let out a disdainful sneer: "You can all make the surveillance cameras just happen to break down, so why can't I?"

Upon hearing this, Xu San's vision went black.

Damn it!

Is this guy surnamed Gu here today with the intention of killing him?

When they met Gu Yao's cold and sinister gaze, a strange odor filled the air.

He couldn't help but look down, where the area was already wet.

He...peed!

He urinated without even realizing it!

Over the years, he had worked with Wu Hao for so many years, seen all kinds of people and experienced all kinds of things, but he had never been as afraid as he was today.

This feeling, as if someone had a knife to his throat, made even thinking extremely difficult for him.

He suddenly pulled his leg back, leaned forward, and knelt on the bed.

"No! I don't want to die, please, I'm willing to confess, I'm willing to testify, I'm willing to tell you everything I know! Please, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die."

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow, his thumb rubbing the gleaming metal buckle, and said with a half-smile, "Then tell me, what did you do to Nini?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu San nodded vigorously: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything I know. Erni, no, Nini! It's Nini!"

Nini...she...she was thrown into the dog farm by Wu Hao, and she almost...almost got eaten by the dogs. It was Wu Hao's grandson, Wu Tong, who rushed in and rescued her."

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow, and Xu Sanlian, before he could catch his breath, hurriedly continued, "Wu Hao, he, he also hung Erni, oh no, Nini! He also hung Nini on a tree in his yard and whipped her."

He often didn't feed Nini, and he punished her by making her kneel on the pebbly ground in his yard, and also...

Before Xu San could finish speaking, Gu Yao punched him and knocked him onto the bed.

Xu San's head slammed heavily against the bedside table with a loud "thud".

At this moment, he felt as if he were in a vast ocean, drifting aimlessly, the world spinning around him.

As I slowly regained my senses, the pain in my forehead became increasingly clear.

He reached up to touch his forehead, and his fingers, which had previously been stained with dried blood, were now stained with fresh red again.

Moreover, the blood slowly seeped down, obscuring his vision.

Xu San, looking dazed, stared blankly at Gu Yao, his mouth moving as he said, "You...you promised you wouldn't lay a hand on me?"

"When did I agree to that? Which ear did you hear that with?" Gu Yao reached out and grabbed Xu San's hair.

He grabbed Xu San by the hair and dragged him over, then wrapped the loosened leather belt around Xu San's neck.

"No! What... what do you want to do?" Xu San's voice was thick with sobs, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He cried out, "I really know I was wrong. I'll never do it again. Please forgive me!"

Gu Yao sneered, and with a swift movement, the leather belt wrapped around Xu San's neck tightened instantly.

At that moment, a feeling of suffocation also assaulted Xu San's body.

He thrashed, struggled, and craved air.

However, Gu Yao did not let go; on the contrary, he pulled even tighter.

Xu San twisted his body and even lunged back at them recklessly.

What I got in return was a hard kick from Gu Yao.

However, at this moment, the abdominal pain was nothing.

The lack of oxygen had rendered him unable to think, and his body was exhausted and weak.

Tears, which were already hard to hold back, streamed down her face.

His tongue was sticking out of his mouth uncontrollably, and saliva was flowing wildly from the corners of his mouth.

Is he... going to die?

But he's still so young!

He's not married or has children yet!

And all the money I've earned over the years, I haven't even spent it all yet...
