The phone rang. In the quiet surroundings, he heard it; it was his own phone ringing. It must be her.

They broke up, and now she's finally calling him.

"Aunt Xu, give me the phone!"

He quickly rolled out of bed, ran barefoot to the door, and tried to open it with all his might, but all he heard was the sound of the iron lock on the outside.

"Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu, open the door for me quickly."

The phone rang more and more urgently; he knew it must be Ningning calling him.

He pounded on the door frantically, but seeing no one outside, or if someone did come, he didn't dare unlock it. He turned around and looked around the room.

The place was a complete mess. Ever since he was locked up, he had smashed everything he could. Cabinets, lamps, chairs, and tables were all lying on the floor, overturned and scattered.

Only the bed where I slept was still intact.

He went over, picked up the chair, and smashed it hard towards the door.

The Gu family's door was very sturdy; if he could break it open, he would have left long ago.

Even knowing this fact, he continued to smash things, making the whole building rattle and waking everyone up in a panic.

Finally, the ringing of the cell phone outside stopped, and everything seemed to return to calm. He gripped the chair tightly with his hands covered in blood, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the window.

From the very first day he broke the window, jumped out, and was caught, the old man had the windows nailed shut from the outside.

This home, which he had always been proud of, had unknowingly become his prison.

In mid-air, lightning struck again, and his heart pounded wildly. He placed his bloodied hand on his chest, where his heart screamed in agony, in excruciating pain, a pain worse than death!

He felt utterly useless, once again feeling like the most worthless thing in his locked house.

Later, when he woke up on the cold ground, he heard the voices of the servants.

"It's so pitiful. How could someone so young get into a car accident?"

"The eldest young master went against the master for her sake, and now he's even less likely to agree to her joining the Gu family."

Car accident!

Those two words were like sharp awls piercing his heart. He immediately got up, knocked on the door, and asked the cleaning maid outside.

"Who was in a car accident? Who was it?!"

The maid was startled to see that he had overheard their conversation, and immediately shut her mouth and went to the side.

The master is in charge of this household, and he has said that the eldest son must not be told anything about that woman.

The person left quickly, and everything returned to calm. He stared blankly at the snow-white wall, muttering, "Car accident, car accident!"

There's no need to ask who it is anymore, it's his Ningning!

He was extremely anxious and worried, but at that moment, all those words disappeared; his mind was filled with nothing but darkness.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have argued with her and said we should break up. I should have taken her away and run away together first.

After an unknown amount of time, the maid who brought him food, as usual, put the food through the newly made opening under the door. She looked in and saw the scene inside. She stood up in panic and shouted, "Something terrible has happened! The young master is in trouble!"
