Gu Mingzhen couldn't understand a word of their conversation, but the moment she heard the word "death," her whole body trembled involuntarily.

His face grew increasingly pale.

She didn't want to die.

"Mother, Mother, please let me go home."

Her voice was choked with sobs as she looked at Yang Zhaodi with pleading eyes.

Yang Zhaodi gave a soft shout, glanced at her, said nothing, and left.

"Mother, Mother, don't go."

Seeing her mother turn and leave, Gu Mingzhen quickly stood up. She cried and called out to Yang Zhaodi, wanting to go with her mother.

But before her feet even touched the ground, Zhu Laoda pushed her back: "Little sister, why go back home? This is your home from now on."

"No, no, I want to go home. My dad will worry about me."

Gu Mingzhen was unwilling to compromise so easily, but Zhu Laoda didn't care about her. He simply took a long rope and tied her up in no time.

Worried that she would disturb the neighbors, he even gagged her with something before leaving gracefully.

...

After rushing for a while, Gu Laoda and his group finally arrived at the Zhu family's house at three o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as Xiao Hei arrived at the Zhu family's house, it scratched at the door with its paws and barked wildly inside.

The others who followed were extremely anxious, and they understood everything when they saw Xiao Hei's actions.

They called Xiao Hei aside and started kicking the door.

Yang Zhaodi was currently counting her large sums of money in her room. Today, she had helped them bring Gu Mingzhen along, and Boss Zhu had given her another three hundred yuan.

She never imagined that Gu Mingzhen was so valuable.

The money I've earned over the past few days has added up to several hundred yuan.

The main thing is that they also promised her that they would let her go out tomorrow.

Just thinking about her makes me happy.

He had only counted half of the money when he suddenly heard the dog barking, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

The dog's bark sounds just like the one Jiang Jinxiu keeps.

However, she didn't believe they would find this place so quickly.

She calmed herself down and continued counting the money in her hand.

But after counting only two pages, they heard a loud slamming of the door, mixed with the sound of a man speaking.

She knew that voice all too well.

She quickly stuffed all the money into her bosom and hid under the bed.

After crawling inside, they even used several tattered sacks to cover her figure.

Zhu Laoda and Zhu Laoer had drunk some wine in their excitement at noon and had just returned to their respective rooms.

The first thing Zhu Laoda did upon returning to his room was to take off all his clothes.

He was naked and was approaching Gu Mingzhen step by step.

Gu Mingzhen was tied up and unable to move. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were filled with fear.

Zhu Laoda ignored the noise outside his front door.

He was certain that no one would dare to barge into their house.

Now, all he sees is Gu Mingzhen, and his evil claws reach out to her.

Gu Mingzhen struggled, her eyes filled with despair.

...

Just as Zhu Lao Er was about to go to sleep, he heard the noise outside the door and couldn't help but utter several phrases from traditional Chinese culture.

I grabbed a pillow from the side, covered my ears, and just wanted to keep sleeping.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of kicking the door continued.

Finally, the Zhu family's gate was kicked open.

Hearing the loud crash of the door hitting the floor, Zhu Lao Er suddenly sat up in bed and walked out of the room with a fierce aura.

"Where did this bastard come from, daring to kick down the gate of our Zhu family? Are you tired of living?"

He glared angrily at the Gu family members who rushed in.

Xiao Hei was the first to rush in, shouting as he ran forward, ignoring Zhu Lao Er who was blocking his way, and went straight past him into Zhu Lao Da's house.

With a leap, he tackled Boss Zhu to the ground.

When Gu Mingzhen saw Xiao Hei, the despair in her eyes finally faded.

She cried out towards the door.

Xiao Hei quickly got onto the bed and bit off the thing blocking her mouth, then quickly turned around and pounced on Boss Zhu.

Zhu Laoda's screams echoed throughout the entire Zhu family.

Yang Zhaodi, hiding under the bed, was trembling.

The Zhu family has always been the one bullying other families; no one has ever dared to bully the Zhu family, let alone attack them.

Zhu Lao Er thought he could stop the people rushing in, but he was knocked down by Jiang Jinhua with a single punch.

"You bastard, I think you're the one who's tired of living."

His fists landed on Zhu Lao Er's body again and again.

"Ahhh, help! Big brother, save me..."

Zhu Lao Er desperately wanted Zhu Lao Da to help him, but Zhu Lao Da was already in dire straits himself.

When facing Jiang Jinhua, Zhu Lao Er could only be abused.

The Gu family members who rushed into Zhu Laoda's house were all red-eyed when they saw the scene before them.

"Father, Father, save me. Grandmother, save me..."

Upon seeing her family, hope rekindled in Gu Mingzhen's eyes. She struggled to get up and cried out for help.

“Damn it, my granddaughter—why are you so unlucky…” Yang Dongmei was the first to rush towards Gu Mingzhen, wailing.

Gu Dashan held back his tears, went over to untie Gu Mingzhen's ropes, and then pulled a sheet aside and handed it to Yang Dongmei, asking her to wrap Gu Mingzhen up first.

Gu Mingzhen's clothes were already torn to shreds, with a lot of her skin exposed to the air. Fortunately, they were tied with ropes, so they didn't fall off completely.

Zhu Laoda on the ground had been bitten many times by Xiao Hei, and blood was flowing from the wounds.

They fell to the ground in scattered pieces.

The men from the Gu family had no intention of letting him go, and their fists rained down on him.

The screams of Zhu Laoda and Zhu Laoer echoed throughout the Zhu family compound.
