Chapter 253 Gu Chengyan's Mental Abnormality
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost frozen.
"Brother, why did my third brother...take my sister-in-law away?" Gu Cheng'an asked cautiously.
The aura around Gu Junze suddenly sank, and his eyes became even colder. "Because he wants to die."
Gu Chengan swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice even lower, almost whispering, "Then sister-in-law, is this your own will?"
But in this small and quiet carriage, every word fell clearly into Gu Junze's ears.
Gu Junze glanced at him sideways. If he was not mentally ill, he would not fall for Du Ruoling.
"You should think carefully about where Gu Chengyan would go, or what secret places does he have?"
Gu Chengan thought for a moment, a hint of hesitation on his face, then he slowly said: "Where he will go, I really don't know. There is indeed a secret place, Chengyan's study, there is a secret room."
Gu Junze immediately said, "Return to the Marquis' Mansion."
Could it be that he is blinded by a single leaf?
The carriage sped through the night and soon returned to the Anyang Marquis Mansion.
The mansion had been ransacked, but Gu Junze didn't seem to care. He took Gu Cheng'an and Ying Qing directly to Gu Chengyan's yard.
The study was searched but not thoroughly.
Gu Cheng'an walked to the bookshelf, reached out and pressed a button in an inconspicuous place, and a secret compartment slowly opened.
With a slight "click", a secret compartment slowly opened, and a dark passage that was only wide enough for one person to pass through appeared before his eyes.
Seeing this, Ying Qing quickly drew out his sword and wanted to clear the way ahead, but Gu Junze had already walked in.
The secret passage is very short and it only takes two steps to reach the end.
It was a small room, but the walls were covered with torture instruments, and there were bloodstains of varying depths on the floor, corners, and tables.
There was a faint smell of blood.
When Gu Junze saw this scene, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably and a sense of fear welled up in his heart. Fortunately, Han'er was not there.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of inhuman torture Chu Ruohan would suffer if she was brought here.
The rage boiling in his chest consumed him. If Gu Chengyan dared to hurt Han'er in the slightest, he would make him pay a hundred or a thousand times the price.
"Brother..." Gu Cheng'an stood at the door, his face pale, obviously shocked by the scene before him.
Gu Junze turned his head, veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes were red, like an enraged beast.
Gu Chengan couldn't help but take two steps back. His elder brother's eyes were too terrifying, as if he wanted to eat him?
Gu Junze took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. His eyes swept across every corner of the room, looking for possible clues.
"What has Gu Chengyan been doing here all these years?" Gu Junze asked in a cold voice.
Gu Chengan shook his head, his eyes filled with fear, "I don't know, I just entered this secret room when I was a child."
Ying Qing stepped forward and pointed to a small cabinet in the corner, "Prince, there is something there."
Gu Junze walked over quickly and opened the cabinet.
There were several books and some letters neatly arranged inside. He picked up the top one and opened it, his expression suddenly becoming even more gloomy.
"This is…"
The booklet records detailed time, place, names of people, and various cruel methods of punishment.
Most chillingly, there's a tiny red handprint in the bottom right corner of every page.
"He actually..." Gu Junze's voice was low and dangerous, "Over the years, he has been secretly torturing those who have offended him."
Gu Cheng'an walked over, took a look at the booklet, and his face became even paler.
It records that there are maids, servants, and more importantly, Chu Nanxin at the back...
On the first page, there is a little white dog that Gu Junze raised when he was a child, which later disappeared.
At that time, Gu Junze thought that even a puppy despised him and would rather wander around than stay with him.
"Brother, I really didn't know that Third Brother would..."
"He's a lunatic!"
Gu Junze lowered his head and continued to look through other booklets.
Suddenly, a note caught his attention. It was obvious that the ink here was different from the others.
"Villa?" Gu Junze frowned and turned to Gu Cheng'an, "How many villas does the Gu family have in the suburbs of Beijing?"
Gu Junze has been unable to walk since childhood. Marquis Anyang always took Gu Chengan and Gu Chengyan with him when he went out, so he didn't know the specific family business of Marquis Anyang.
I can only ask Gu Chengan.
Gu Chengan thought for a moment, "Three places. One is at the foot of the green hills in the eastern suburbs, one is by the lake in the western suburbs, and the other is in the pine forest in the northern suburbs."
"Which one is the most secluded?"
"It's located in the northern suburbs of Songlin Mountain Villa. The terrain there is very difficult, with only one small path leading in and out. It's also surrounded by dense forests, so few people know about it."
A cold light flashed in Gu Junze's eyes, "That's it."
He turned to leave, but was stopped by Ying Qing, "Prince, there is this."
Ying Qing pointed to a small box at the bottom of the cabinet. Gu Junze opened the box and found an exquisite key and a map inside.
The map shows the detailed route to Beijiao Songlin Villa and the layout of the villa.
The word "Bei Zhuang" is engraved on the key.
"It seems he had planned this all along." Gu Junze sneered and put away the map and key.
The three of them quickly left the secret room and returned to the study.
Gu Junze looked around and his eyes fell on a small box on the desk.
He walked over and opened the box. Inside was a silk handkerchief, which was exactly what Chu Ruohan used every day.
"Han'er..." Gu Junze gently stroked the handkerchief, and the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger.
"Prepare the horses." He said to Yingqing, his voice as cold as ice.
Ying Qing nodded and quickly left to prepare.
Gu Chengan hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, I'll go too."
Gu Junze glanced at him and didn't refuse. He just said coldly: "If you dare to have any disloyalty, I will show no mercy."
Gu Chengan smiled bitterly, "Brother, I know you don't trust me, but Chengyan is my brother after all. I have the responsibility to stop him from doing wrong things."
Gu Junze did not answer, but carefully placed the jade pendant in his arms and strode out of the study.
It was already late at night, and the shadow guards were already waiting at the gate. Gu Junze mounted his horse, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"North Suburb Songlin Villa." He whispered, and with a flick of the whip, the horse rushed into the night like the wind.
Ying Qing and Gu Cheng'an followed closely behind, and the three figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, in the Songlin Villa in the northern suburbs, Chu Ruohan sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing her ankle, which had already reduced a lot of swelling.
The medicine was indeed effective, but she knew that this was not something to be thankful for. She had to find a way to escape from this place as soon as possible.
There were footsteps outside the door, and Chu Ruohan immediately became alert.
The door was pushed open and Gu Chengyan walked in with a tray in his hand.
