Gu Sinian sighed and patted Liu Xiaoliu's shoulder reassuringly, "It's good that you can understand. Your brother escaped from the base, and he must have rushed back this time to deliver the last batch of goods."
Liu Xiaoliu's eyes were filled with icy coldness. "Then let's try. How could I have such a heartless and depraved brother?"
"He went to the port city to do business with a boss when he was sixteen. He returned home in glory. I thought he had really made a lot of money. I never expected that he would do such a despicable thing."
"If my parents knew that they had spent so much money on such unethical things, they would never sleep soundly."
Gu Sinian didn't want to criticize other people's family affairs too much; his immediate priority was to get into the basement.
"Black and White Duo, lead the way, we're going to the basement."
The Black and White Duo licked their lips, somewhat incredulous, and reminded him again.
"The basement is not as simple as you think. Apart from the boss, no one has ever been able to get in successfully."
Although Su Ying was fast asleep, her ears never stopped. She didn't want to be like this, but for some reason, even in a half-asleep, half-awake state, she could clearly hear the conversation between four or five people.
She was so sleepy that she was reluctant to open her eyes. She was even more prone to sleeping than before since becoming pregnant.
After making his decision, Gu Sinian gently picked up Su Ying, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa...
"lead the way!"
The Black and White Duo nodded, not daring to provoke this perverted couple. Neither stomach pain pills nor itching powder were things they could handle.
They had tried training with drugs before, and they had all managed to get through it. They never expected that the Great Xia Dynasty had such a potent drug, which was truly an eye-opener for them.
Compared to the medicine this couple had, the drug training in Hong Kong was child's play.
It's incomparable. The drug tests that only a select few could pass back then are laughable to think about.
In a very short time, they could not withstand the effects of these two drugs and were defeated.
The pain was so intense that they gritted their teeth, their faces contorted, and they couldn't bear it for even a minute.
They finally gave in...
It's not that they were useless, but that their opponents were too strong; they can't be blamed.
They're just being pragmatic and it's not a big deal. The boss should forgive them. Besides, no one but the boss can go into the basement.
The group walked towards the basement, where Su Ying slept soundly in Gu Sinian's arms.
Even when they reached the basement door, Gu Sinian still held her, unwilling to wake Su Ying and hoping she could sleep a little longer.
Looking at the tightly closed basement door, Gu Sinian frowned. "How do I open this?"
The Black and White Duo exchanged glances, somewhat reluctant to speak, since no one except their leader had ever been inside this place.
Some people had gone in out of curiosity before, but ended up with nothing but bones. The two of them knew best what was inside, since they were the ones following behind.
Although they knew the layout of the basement, the mechanisms inside were so strange that only the boss himself could open them.
"I advise you not to go in. Wait until the boss comes before opening it. Otherwise, the loss of life caused can't be blamed on me and the Black and White Duo."
Liu Xiaoliu disagreed with their idea. After all, Liu Xiaowu had already run away. Knowing that this place had become a den of wolves, how could he possibly come back to die?
Others may not know his older brother well, but he knows him very well. They are twins, and his brother has been smart, lively, and has his own opinions since childhood.
I initially felt that being a soldier wasn't as lucrative as it was, so I resolutely chose to give up joining the army and went to the city to look for opportunities.
The opportunity did come, and he made a lot of money. He and his family always thought he had found a good way to make money, but they never expected that he would do such a despicable thing.
It's a quick way to make money, but it's also risky. How can he spend such unethical money with a clear conscience?
And they're spending it with such relish.
They even built a house for their family. If their parents found out, they would definitely move out overnight.
He was too conventional and thought being a soldier was a good thing, so he worked hard to join the army and is now a bodyguard for his superior.
It's all his fault. Why did he tell his family about his position? As a result, his brother set his sights on him and started plotting to take his place.
I wonder if the leader has suffered any loss from not being by his side to take care of him during this period of time.
In short, his brother is quick-witted and a smart man. The commander had long suspected the actions of Commander Gu and his wife, as well as that phone call.
At this time, his older brother wouldn't walk into the line of fire; he would definitely be somewhere observing everything in the base.
Wait for the right moment to deliver a powerful blow...
Or they could simply abandon the base and try to make a comeback.
"Don't wait for him. He's already escaped and abandoned the base. I'm sure the commander's men will catch a whiff of him soon."
"He's not the kind of person who's brainless or irrational. He won't come back to the base; he's already escaped."
"What you need to do now is tell us everything you know, or you might lose your lives. You'd better watch out."
The two thugs, one black and one white, looked at each other in bewilderment, while the other two thugs seemed to be used to it all along.
After all, this couple didn't look like someone to mess with. The lives of the four of them were in their hands; if they were told to go east, the four wouldn't dare to go west.
He even tried to persuade her, saying, "You should confess sooner rather than later. The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be free. Don't be someone who struggles in vain."
"Yes, yes, yes. A wise person knows when to yield."
The noise from the basement completely woke up Su Ying, who was sleeping soundly.
"Put me down."
Gu Sinian didn't intend to put her down. "You're too tired today. If you really can't sleep, just close your eyes and take a nap."
Su Ying nodded. It didn't matter whether she went down or not, since she could hear their entire conversation.
“Tell us your thoughts truthfully, without hiding anything, or you will all be buried with us.”
“We’ve made it out alive. The poison in your bodies can be cured. If even one lie is told, we’ll all just be going to the underworld together.”
Everyone swallowed hard.
The Black and White Duo's faces turned pale. They didn't want to die. They didn't want to endure the pain and unbearable itching again; it was worse than death.
The boss doesn't care about their lives anymore, so it's normal for them to seek another way to survive...
"There is a timed poison release mechanism in the basement. If the shut-off valve is not pressed every five minutes, a continuous stream of poison will be released."
Su Ying heard something interesting and suddenly opened her eyes. "How long does this timer last?"
"It takes about ten minutes. If you don't press the button after five minutes, a continuous stream of poison will be sprayed out for ten minutes until the person is poisoned to death. This cycle repeats, so if you don't know the switch button, you're doomed."
