Chapter 20 I Won't Die
Time passed little by little, and the screams finally stopped. Young Fu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but the old lady was still worried.
Fear surged from the bottom of her heart, and coupled with her being sick, she felt a little dizzy.
She held Fu Zhang's hand tightly, not even noticing that it hurt him. Fu Zhang himself didn't notice it either, because he was also worried about his sister, afraid that something had happened to her.
He was twelve years old, and he understood everything he needed to understand. He knew that when being tortured, the silence was the most terrifying thing.
He knew that if there was no sound, there were only two possibilities: one was that he had fainted, and the other was that he was dying. Otherwise, no one could hold back from screaming while being tortured.
The old lady stood up with the help of Yue Fuzhang, walked a few steps to the prison door, and threw herself at it, staring at the direction of the torture room with her eyes fixed, looking eagerly.
Yue Fuzhang also followed the old lady's actions, came to the prison door, and looked in the direction of the torture room.
Although Fu Gui and Fu Yu were young, when they saw the two men like this, they followed them to the prison door and looked nervously in the direction of the torture room.
As the grandparents and grandchildren were waiting anxiously, the whispered voices of the people in the second cell next door reached their ears.
When they heard Wu say that Yue Fuli was very likely dead, the children immediately turned around and looked at her with hatred, saying, "You are dead, your whole family is dead."
"Fu Zhang, Fu Gui, Fu Yu, what are you talking about? I didn't say anything wrong. This man didn't make a sound during the torture. He's either dead or unconscious. Do you think Yue Fuli's small body can withstand the torture?"
"Haven't you ever seen servants being beaten with a stick at home? The criminal law here is much more severe than beating with a stick. Beating with a stick can kill people, let alone the criminal law?"
After hearing Wu's words, the children's faces turned pale. However, they still didn't believe that their sister would die, so they shook their heads desperately, saying, "No, no, my sister won't die."
The old lady, upon hearing Wu's words, was even more shaken. She had seen more than the children and knew more. Few people who entered the torture chamber could emerge alive, unless the executioner showed mercy.
But Luo Ming is eager to find out where the things in the warehouse are hidden. Will he show mercy?
The old lady didn't know, so she was even more panicked and worried. Because she was too worried, and her body was very weak due to illness, she slipped to the ground and fainted again.
The children were already worried about their sister, and when they saw their grandmother fainted again, they immediately panicked and started crying while calling out "Grandma".
The people of the second house felt indescribably uncomfortable when they saw this scene. Although they usually disliked the first house and liked to compete with it, they felt very uncomfortable when they entered here and saw the orphan and widow in front of them.
At this time, in the torture room, Yue Fuli had already fainted.
Luo Ming looked at her who had fainted and ordered his men, "Bring a basin of water."
Upon hearing this, his men knew he was going to torture him again. Honestly, he'd been in the torture chamber for so long, and he'd rarely seen anyone so stoic. In the past, most of those who could hold out were men. But today, this delicate young lady actually withstood their torture. This was the first time he'd seen it.
He admired Yue Fuli from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that he heard that it was her grandmother who was originally going to be tortured, and she took the initiative to be tortured in her grandmother's place.
If there is a filial girl, he doesn't want to see her die like this.
Therefore, after hearing Luo Ming's words, he said directly, "Lord Luo, you can't torture her anymore, unless you want her to die."
