Shangguan Wu looked up at him: "Tell the truth, my third brother and sister-in-law are on the same flight. There's no reason why they've arrived while I'm still halfway there."
Moreover, her husband has connections in Xizhou City, so it would be quite easy to find out where she is.
Du Wei replied to Gu Shiyi truthfully.
Soon after, Gu Shiyi called directly.
Du Wei answered the phone.
Gu Shiyi's voice immediately rang out: "Du Wei, I received a message that Xia Zilu attempted suicide in prison. Visiting is not allowed today. Please tell the Fourth Young Madam so that she doesn't make the trip for nothing."
Du Wei: "..."
What could he say? This situation must be related to his mistress, so while others can't visit her in prison, she certainly can.
"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?" Du Wei asked.
Gu Shiyi said, "That's all. Oh, wait, there's one more thing: Fourth Young Master and Young Master are waiting for Fourth Young Mistress at the Ji family."
"Yes, I will talk to Miss."
The call has ended.
Du Wei turned around and said, "Miss, the Fourth Young Master and the Young Master are waiting for you at the Ji family."
The driver turned his head and glanced at him when he heard the words "Ji family," then looked at Shangguan Wu in the rearview mirror.
Because of this sentence, Shangguan Wu kept wondering whether Gu Yunzhen knew or was completely unaware, so he didn't notice the driver peeking.
I will definitely go.
But not now.
Shangguan Wu suddenly spoke up: "Turn off your phone."
She also turned off her phone.
That way she doesn't have to answer any calls, and even if she knows there's a problem, she can pretend not to know and not admit it.
She is incredibly intelligent.
Shangguan Wu praised himself in his heart.
Upon arriving at their destination, Du Wei asked the driver how much it would cost.
The driver said the words he had already prepared in his mind: "Five hundred and thirty yuan, I'll round it down for you, just give me five hundred yuan."
His tone made it sound as if Du Wei had gotten a great deal.
Shangguan Wu was about to get off the bus when he heard the fare and looked over in surprise.
Du Wei almost laughed, and asked again, "How much did you say?"
The driver shouted, "Five hundred yuan."
Du Wei's fists hardened. She put away her wallet, pointed at the prison door, and said, "It's just a short walk, and you want five hundred from me? I think you just want to go in for a cup of tea?"
The driver puffed out his chest to bolster his courage, truly defiant despite his lack of a clear reason: "The place you came from is unlucky, so the price will definitely be different."
"Unlucky? Let's not talk about it anymore. Come on, get off the bus with me."
Du Wei unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, walked around to the driver's side, knocked on the window, and shouted, "Let's go inside and talk about who's really unlucky."
Shangguan Wu also got out of the car and stood aside watching.
The driver was shocked that they wouldn't even give him 500 yuan, and seeing that the man really wanted to take him to jail, he was terrified by his attitude.
Without a second thought, the driver started the engine, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
They didn't even want the fare.
Du Wei noted down his license plate number before walking up to Shangguan Wu and saying, "Miss, I'll have someone transfer the fare to him."
Shangguan Wu shook his head: "It's fine if he doesn't give it to us. He probably heard us mention the Ji family and thought we were easy targets."
Du Wei was stunned for a moment, so that's what happened.
However, the young lady is indeed wealthy, but her money didn't come from thin air, so she's not going to be taken advantage of. This time, the driver learned his lesson and hopefully it won't happen again.
After undergoing multiple checks, Shangguan Wu met with Xia Zilu in a separate visiting room.
A hint of shock flashed in Shangguan Wushui's eyes.
Xia Zilu has changed a lot.
She looked like she had been through a terrible ordeal; she was so thin she was practically skin and bones, her eyes were sunken, and she looked very unwell.
When Xia Zilu saw Shangguan Wu, she was like a drowning person seeing a lifeline, and she said excitedly, "Wu Bao, save me, please help me out, I beg you."
Shangguan Wu gazed at her calmly and said indifferently, "I'm not familiar with you, please call me by my name."
Xia Zilu wanted to kneel before Shangguan Wu, but the handcuffs and shackles restricted her movements. She sat in the chair unable to move, but tears of regret streamed down her face.
"I know I was wrong. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I'm heartless and ungrateful. You cured my mother's illness, and I betrayed you. It's all my fault. I really know I was wrong. Please, please forgive me, please..."
Seeing Xia Zilu like this, Shangguan Wu felt relieved, because in her previous life, it was Xia Zilu's betrayal that led to her being captured, cruelly having her lower body cut off, and being thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
But there are surveillance cameras in the visiting room, so there are some things she can't say.
"You really are an ingrate."
Shangguan Wu's expression and tone were indifferent: "However, I did nothing to you. You are in this situation because of your own fault. Since you know you were wrong, stay here and repent."
Xia Zilu shook her head excitedly, "No, I don't want to, I don't want to stay here anymore, I'll die, please, take me away, I know you have a way..."
Shangguan Wu stared intently into her eyes and said softly, "How could you die? Did someone bully you here? What happened to you? You could have asked YJ for help."
"It's no use, I told them, they don't believe me..."
Xia Zilu kept shaking her head, muttering to herself, "Gu Yunzhen is too terrifying. He's a madman, a serial killer. He's going to kill me in my dreams again..."
In a dream?
So she dreamt about her past life?
Shangguan Wu lowered her eyes, a cold glint flashing within them, but leaned forward, her tone unchanged: "What did you say? I didn't hear you very clearly. If you want my help, tell me slowly, what did he do to you?"
Xia Zilu's eyes gradually became hazy as she continued to recount the events of her dream, following Shangguan Wu's words.
“He captured me three days after you died, locked me in a hole in the ground, chained me to a pillar with thick iron chains, and then sat in a chair and ordered people to cut off my flesh, piece by piece. There were several wild dogs around. It hurt so much, I begged him desperately, but he thought I was too noisy, so he cut off my tongue. Every night I was woken up by the intense pain and couldn't sleep all night long…”
Xia Zilu's eyes revealed pleading and expectation; she hoped Shangguan Wu could help her.
But Shangguan Wu secretly clenched one hand into a fist.
She never imagined that after her death, Gu Yunzhen would be so crazy in seeking revenge for her.
Her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it hard to breathe.
I feel so sorry for him!
I feel so, so, so sorry for him!
Because often, the one who is alive is the one who suffers the most.
At that moment, Shangguan Wu suddenly longed to fly to Gu Yunzhen's side and hug him tightly.
