What?!
Gu Liyan was startled. If that were the case, wouldn't he fall into Butler Lin's hands again? Seeing his sinister face and thinking of the dense swarm of snakes, Gu Liyan couldn't help but tremble.
"Xian'er..." Gu Liyan's voice trembled slightly, "He is the snake man, don't believe him!"
"I don't believe him... so why should I believe you?" Liu Changxian pursed his lips and whispered, "You lecherous rogue!"
Gu Liyan trembled, a bitter feeling rising in his heart. He simply closed his eyes and gave up resisting, saying with a wry smile, "I was too naive..."
—I thought you could give me enough trust
Butler Lin stepped forward, took out a rope, and tied Gu Liyan up. He whispered in Gu Liyan's ear, "Little guy, do you think you can escape? I know all the exits like the back of my hand. You still dare to stay here. You're so stupid!"
What else could Gu Liyan say? Without her trust, he was utterly defeated!
Butler Lin deliberately tied Gu Liyan up tightly, causing Gu Liyan to tremble in pain, but she endured it without crying out.
Just as Steward Lin was about to exert more pressure, Liu Changxian spoke up, "Should we notify the people in the Prince's mansion?"
"It's getting late, why don't we inform them tomorrow?" Butler Lin suggested.
“Okay, that’s fine.” Liu Changxian nodded, glanced at Gu Liyan and said, “Let’s tie him up in the medical room first. We should investigate the snake people’s matter more thoroughly.”
Surprisingly, Butler Lin did not refute the statement, but instead respectfully replied, "Yes, young master."
Liu Changxian glanced at Gu Liyan's disappointed look, but said nothing...
As night fell, a cool breeze began to blow.
Gu Liyan was tied to the operating table in the medical room. The window was open, and the cold wind blew in, making her shiver all over. In addition, the wounds all over her body were in great pain, and she was exhausted but unable to fall asleep.
Just then, there was a noise outside the door. Butler Lin walked in, carrying a bag in his arms. Looking at Gu Liyan, who was tied up on the operating table, Butler Lin smiled and said, "How's it going, little brother? Feeling bad about being caught by me again? You didn't really think you could escape my grasp, did you? You're really naive!"
"You really are a master at distorting the truth, how despicable!" Gu Liyan glared at Butler Lin and spoke fiercely.
"Me, despicable? No, you're wrong!" Butler Lin stepped forward with a smile, slowly unbuttoning Gu Liyan's clothes, and said softly, "It's not that I'm despicable, but that those fools are always self-righteous, blind and unable to distinguish between good and evil! If you have to blame someone, blame that stupid woman, Liu Changxian, for believing me!"
After saying that, Gu Liyan's clothes were undone, revealing a shocking array of wounds all over his body!
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, you're so badly injured, and that woman doesn't even care about you. Instead, she believes me and joins me in framing you. I really feel sorry for you, poor little brother!" Butler Lin looked at Gu Liyan with a pitying expression and spoke sarcastically.
"All of this is your fault!" Gu Liyan said angrily.
"Hehe, little brother, didn't I tell you before that I wouldn't kill you? As long as you don't run away and stay by my side, how could I wrong you?" Butler Lin said with a smile, "I'm too busy taking care of you!"
As she spoke, she gently touched Gu Liyan's wound, then suddenly pressed down hard.
"Ah!" Gu Liyan cried out in pain, glaring fiercely at Butler Lin. "Aren't you afraid that Liu Changxian will find out if you try to kill me?"
"How could I kill you? I just want to hear my brother's screams." Butler Lin looked at Gu Liyan with infatuation. "You know what? In all these years, you're the first person I've ever been so willing to reveal my identity. I think I've fallen in love with you!"
Gu Liyan frowned and said, "This joke isn't funny at all!"
"Hehe! My little brother is so cute! But you've reminded me. I really can't let that brat Liu Changxian find out..." As he spoke, Butler Lin took out a towel and a bottle of red liquid from his bag.
Gu Liyan watched his unhurried movements and felt inexplicably uneasy. "What... what are you going to do?"
"Of course, it's a little punishment for disobedient children!" Butler Lin said, his gaze turning cold and gloomy.
Gu Liyan trembled, and before he could speak, Butler Lin shoved a towel into his mouth.
"Ugh..." Gu Liyan was unable to make a sound.
Seeing Gu Liyan speechless and staring at him in utter terror, Butler Lin burst into laughter. "If only you had stayed by my side obediently, I wouldn't have used anything here! Don't worry, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
After saying that, Butler Lin took out a red liquid and poured it all over Gu Liyan's wound.
Gu Liyan's expression suddenly changed, and his whole body felt as if it were on fire, constantly tearing at his wounds and amplifying the pain.
"Ugh...uh...uh..." Gu Liyan struggled in pain, but he was tied up and could not move an inch.
Seeing Gu Liyan's veins bulging, face flushed red, and his expression contorted with rage, Butler Lin felt it wasn't enough and took out a silver needle from his bag. "The medicine you just received will double your pain. Now, even the slightest injury will cause you excruciating pain!"
Gu Liyan gasped for breath as he watched Butler Lin's silver needles pierce his body and disappear. The next second, his whole body stiffened, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and he felt suffocating from the pain.
In the end, Gu Liyan's eyes were lifeless, and he closed them wearily, unable to struggle any longer.
"Is this not enough? I prepared so much..." Butler Lin sneered. "But it's alright, there's plenty of time later!"
