Gu Tingchen was the first to raise his glass, and then he said to the two guards, "Come on, brothers, let me toast you first. It's not easy working for Meng Zhen!"
After saying that, before the two of them could say anything, Gu Tingchen gulped down a large glass of wine.
When the two saw that Gu Tingchen was so sincere, they became even happier.
"Mr. Gu, thank you for your understanding. I'll do it too!" Guard A said excitedly, then tilted his head back and gulped down the drink.
"Mr. Gu, you are the most open-minded person I have ever met. I'll drink it!" Guard B also drank it without hesitation.
Seeing how defenseless they all were, Gu Tingchen was secretly delighted. Fortunately, the IQs of these two people were not too high, otherwise this little trick of getting them to drink would have been discovered in an instant.
Gu Tingchen laughed heartily, then took the playing cards, sorted them out himself, and said to the two of them proudly, "Just drinking is boring, let's play cards!"
"Haha, okay, Mr. Gu is really straightforward!" They both agreed at the same time.
Soon, they started playing cards, and whoever lost had to drink. One bottle of wine was not enough, so they went to get wine one after another. In a short while, the two guards were drunk by Gu Tingchen.
"Brother, I heard that there are still people imprisoned in our Meng family. Is Meng Xianchen here?" Gu Tingchen asked while pouring wine for Guard A.
Before Guard A could reply, Guard B interrupted, "Boss Gu is really smart. That's right, Meng Xianchen, a woman, and Old Man Meng are all imprisoned here, right next to the basement where they got the wine!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Tingchen immediately understood that the heavily guarded room he had seen that day was exactly where Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran were imprisoned. It turned out that they were there!
"Shh! Mr. Gu, you must not tell the boss that we told you." Guard A seemed to still have some rationality, but not much, and he also told Gu Tingchen not to tell Meng Zhen about this.
Gu Tingchen quickly assured: "Of course, of course! Come on, keep drinking!"
As he spoke, he had already handed the wine to the guards again. Seeing them chugging one cup after another, Gu Tingchen felt much more relieved. He would wait until they all fell asleep so that he could take action.
What they didn't know was that Gu Tingchen was an expert at drinking and playing cards.
Soon, the two men were knocked down by Gu Tingchen and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Tingchen put down his wine glass, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately, as if he had been wearing a mask for too long and now he had finally taken off the disguise. A hint of relief appeared on his face.
He turned the guards' bodies over and pulled out a key. Gu Tingchen knew that this key would definitely come in handy.
Then he put on a coat and walked out the door, trying hard to avoid everyone.
Gu Tingchen was walking when suddenly, a person came towards him. He hurriedly hid in the nearest room and successfully avoided the person. However, at this moment, he accidentally revealed his face and the surveillance camera immediately recognized his face.
Soon, the surveillance camera sounded an alarm. Gu Tingchen's heart suddenly tightened, and then he quickly walked towards the basement.
"Ranran, wait for me, I'll be there soon!" Gu Tingchen quickened his pace. He no longer cared about anything else. Now his heart and mind were full of Jiang Ranran. He wondered if he would faint from excitement when he saw her.
Soon, Gu Tingchen came to the door of the basement. He pushed the door hard, and sure enough, it was locked.
Gu Tingchen took out the key from his pocket with trembling hands, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it hard. At this moment, the door clicked and actually opened.
Gu Tingchen felt his breath suddenly stop. The next second, he pushed open the door and saw the scene in the room.
The air here was stuffy, and the house looked bare, with nothing in it. There were only three people lying on the ground in a mess. They were three very pale faces, but their facial features were so familiar: Jiang Ranran, Meng Xianchen, and Old Man Meng.
Meng Xianchen felt limp all over and couldn't move, as if he had suffered some serious injury.
Mr. Meng's eyes were just dull, but he didn't look injured.
There was a large scab on Jiang Ranran's forehead, and his movements seemed a little slow.
Gu Tingchen felt his heart break instantly. He rushed forward and hugged Jiang Ranran: "Ranran! I'm coming, I'm coming..."
Jiang Ranran was suddenly picked up by someone. She was startled at first, but the next second when she saw Gu Tingchen's face, she burst into tears.
She couldn't believe her eyes and tears kept flowing out.
"Gu Tingchen, is it really you? It's really you, I'm not dreaming!" Jiang Ranran's voice trembled, she couldn't believe her eyes!
Gu Tingchen touched her little face distressedly, tears falling down, "Silly girl, why are you here? Don't you know that this is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair? Don't you know that this is a bottomless abyss? You know it's a pit of fire, but you still jump in?"
Gu Tingchen called Jiang Ranran a fool, but in fact he was deeply moved.
Of course he knew that Jiang Ranran came in person because she was worried about him.
"I heard that you were in a coma. I was really worried about you. I couldn't control myself..." Jiang Ranran raised the corners of his lips and said happily.
No matter how bad the environment is, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Jiang Ranran will feel happy as long as she sees Gu Tingchen.
Gu Tingchen couldn't bear to listen any longer and hugged Jiang Ranran tightly. Then, the next second, he held Jiang Ranran's little face in his hands and looked at her carefully. Finally, he frowned and asked, "The wound on your forehead was caused by Meng Zhen, right?"
"Not only me, but also Meng Xianchen. All the bones in his body were shattered by Meng Zhen. I think Meng Xianchen will never be able to stand up in his life and will have to use a wheelchair in the future. Meng Zhen is such a perverted woman. Gu Tingchen, I don't want to let her go." Jiang Ranran quickly told Gu Tingchen the bad news.
While Jiang Ranran was speaking, Meng Xianchen said almost nothing. He was waiting for Gu Tingchen to come over by himself.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingchen gently let go of Jiang Ranran and walked towards Meng Xianchen.
He could hardly believe his eyes. Just now he thought Meng Xianchen was just injured and resting on the ground, but after hearing Jiang Ranran's words, Gu Tingchen instantly understood why Meng Xianchen had not moved since he came in.
Gu Tingchen clenched his fists, wishing he could beat that bitch Meng Zhen to death with one punch!
