Suburbs, second floor of a mental hospital.
"Ningning, you have to believe that Brother Xin will definitely get you out of here!" Gu Qingyan was being pushed by the caregiver, his hands and feet strapped to the wheelchair. When he saw Gu Ningning also bound like this passing by, he couldn't help but lunge forward and shout loudly. The caregiver held the wheelchair steady, preventing Gu Qingyan from falling to the ground.
"If you move any further, I'm not going to take care of you anymore," the caregiver said, sounding a little angry.
"Who the hell is it to you?" Gu Qingyan was annoyed that Gu Ningning didn't even glance at him, and shouted angrily at the caregiver, venting his anger on him. The caregiver didn't say anything, but just continued pushing him forward.
"Ningning?" Gu Qingyan called out tentatively again, fidgeting restlessly.
"Don't call me anymore. We can't get out of here." Gu Ningning said abruptly, her back to him. "You'd better save your energy."
"Ningning?" Gu Qingyan felt an indescribable sadness upon seeing Gu Ningning's reaction.
"Brother will definitely get you out of this hellhole!" Gu Qingyan shouted again.
Gu Ningning twitched the corner of her mouth and said indifferently, "Whatever. If you like to dream, then keep dreaming. I don't expect to be able to leave."
"Ningning?!" Gu Qingyan frowned. "Let's go." Gu Ningning turned her head and said to the caregiver behind her. The caregiver didn't speak, but pushed her towards the elevator.
"You should come too. Brother Wei Qiao said you should do the same thing as Gu Ningning." The caregiver said this and pushed Gu Qingyan to follow.
"What are we going to do?" Gu Qingyan was completely confused, not knowing what the caregiver meant.
"You can ask your sister," the caregiver said casually, without giving a direct answer.
Just as Gu Ningning and the others stepped into the elevator and the doors were about to close, the caregiver arrived pushing Gu Qingyan in a wheelchair.
"Ningning," Gu Qingyan called out softly.
"Hmm, why did you follow me?" Gu Ningning frowned, somewhat displeased.
"You said you wanted me to be like you, doing whatever you do," Gu Qingyan said honestly, not wanting to upset her sister any further.
"What?" Gu Ningning stared wide-eyed at Gu Qingyan in disbelief.
Gu Qingyan was a little confused, and a bad feeling suddenly welled up in her heart. She tentatively asked, "Where are you going to do?"
"Farming." Gu Ningning's voice was cold, as if it were being squeezed out of her mouth.
"Farming?" Gu Qingyan was completely bewildered. "Farming what? What farming?"
"It's just about being an old farmer, clearing land and growing vegetables, understand?" Gu Ningning sneered and glared at Gu Qingyan.
Upon hearing her words, Gu Qingyan's face turned ashen. His lips twitched involuntarily, and he was momentarily speechless. Farming? This was utterly unheard of to him, a complete fantasy.
Seeing his face flush and pale in turns, Gu Ningning felt much better. Ever since she was imprisoned here, she had harbored a deep grudge against Gu Qingyan. If he hadn't insisted on marrying Shen Zhi Qiu back then, none of this would have happened. Every time she thought of this, Gu Ningning's resentment deepened. Now, seeing Gu Qingyan humiliated, she felt incredibly satisfied.
The resentment burned like a raging fire in her heart, consuming all her reason.
Gu Ningning hated Shen Zhi Qiu to the core, and now she hates Gu Qing Yan to the core as well.
Seeing Gu Qingyan get his comeuppance, she felt incredibly satisfied.
With a "ding," the elevator doors opened. Gu Qingyan looked around and found that the surrounding area was a wasteland, and apart from the few buildings of this mental hospital, there seemed to be no other buildings within a radius of several kilometers.
"Mr. Gu, don't even think about running away."
Before Gu Qingyan could react to who was speaking, two bodyguards in black training uniforms stepped out from each of her left and right sides.
The person on the right was someone Gu Qingyan had met before; he was someone who often accompanied Wei Qiao.
"I never intended to run away," Gu Qingyan replied stubbornly.
"Oh." The man said with a disdainful look. "I'm just informing President Gu in advance, otherwise it wouldn't be good if President Gu tried to escape and my men caught him and broke his legs."
"Are you threatening me?" Gu Qingyan asked, somewhat displeased, her tone growing colder.
"Mr. Gu, you misunderstand. It's not a threat, it's a real warning." The man smiled. "If I hadn't said it beforehand, it might be because I didn't give you a heads-up. But now I've made it clear to you: if you want to run away, don't cry out in pain when you get beaten." As he spoke, the man glanced down at Gu Ningning. "If you don't believe me, Mr. Gu, you can ask your sister. We didn't hold back when she tried to escape."
Gu Ningning bit her lip, her eyes flashing with intense hatred.
When she first arrived, she tried to escape during a power outage, but was caught red-handed. The bodyguard who caught her gave her a severe beating without any mercy. She was bedridden for almost half a month before she could get out of bed.
When the matter was brought up again, Gu Ningning turned her head away somewhat awkwardly, but her hatred for Gu Qingyan deepened even more.
Gu Qingyan pursed her lips and remained silent.
He knew the principle that a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him.
Seeing that Gu Qingyan didn't speak, Gu Ningning couldn't help but mock him, "I didn't expect you to be doing so badly now, Gu Qingyan. You're being threatened like this and you don't even talk back. You're such a coward."
Gu Qingyan frowned, glanced at her, but still didn't say anything.
"Alright, untie them." The bodyguard waved his hand and said to the two caregivers, "You two go and rest. I'll arrange for someone to watch them while they work. You can come down when it gets dark."
"It's getting dark?"
"It's getting dark?"
Gu Qingyan and Gu Ningning both exclaimed in disbelief!
It's only noon now, and there are still at least six hours until it gets dark!
"Big brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Gu Ningning glanced at the bodyguard, still unwilling to give up, and asked in a somewhat ingratiating tone, "Isn't it usually only two hours? Why is it taking so long today?"
"Today is your brother's first time working, so we need to let him move around a lot so that he can deeply imprint the knowledge of farming in his mind," the bodyguard replied with a half-smile, glancing at Gu Qingyan with a hint of mockery.
"What does that have to do with me? I'm only working for two hours!" Gu Ningning was a little unhappy; she didn't want to suffer with Gu Qingyan.
"What Brother Wei means is that since President Gu feels a deep bond with you as siblings, then you should share both the good times and the bad." After the bodyguard finished speaking, without giving Gu Ningning a chance to refute, he had his men drag Gu Qingyan and Gu Ningning together towards the fields not far away.
