Gu Chen rushed back to the Su family home, still covered in desert sand. Su Ziyuan, Su Yifan, and Su Yan came downstairs together and just happened to see Gu Chen walking in from outside.
Gu Chen suppressed his fierce aura. "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, where is Xiao Ruanruan?"
When Su Ziyuan, Su Yifan, and Su Yan heard Gu Chen call them "brother" and ask where Xiao Ruanruan was, they felt it was grating. However, remembering what Xiao Ruanruan had told them, they suppressed their dislike for Gu Chen.
Su Ziyuan glanced at him and said, "She's asleep. Her older brother is with her. Don't disturb her now."
Before they knew that Ruan Ruan had traveled back in time, when they were putting Ruan Ruan to sleep, they would always sneak out after Ruan Ruan fell asleep.
But today, Ruan Ruan was frightened. Even though Su Yiqing had put her on the bed to sleep, she still held onto Su Yiqing's hands and refused to let go.
So Su Yiqing sat by her bedside and kept her company while she slept.
When Gu Chen heard this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Little Ruan Ruan needed her older brother to accompany her even to sleep. Just how scared was she?
He clenched his fists tightly, and the anger he had just suppressed was now out of control, so much so that his eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he looked at Su Ziyuan. "Second brother, has that bastard been caught?"
"It's in the basement, let's go together!" Su Ziyuan still had a cold and world-weary look on his face. After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the basement.
However, those who knew him well could tell that he was already suppressing his rage.
Su Yifan walked to Gu Chen's side, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, gave him a deep look, and said in a cold voice, "Gu Chen, after I found out that your feelings for Xiao Ruanruan were not pure, I stopped liking you."
It's not that we're targeting you, but we wouldn't like it if it were anyone else.
However, I trust your abilities. The age gap between us and Xiaoruanruan is too great; one day, the four of us will leave before her. Su Xiaowu isn't very reliable; I'm not sure if he can protect Xiaoruanruan, but I've always believed you can!
Gu Chen felt a surge of guilt and heartache at the same time.
Actually, he could tell that the four older brothers in the Su family really disliked him at first. But if he put himself in their shoes, any of the older brothers would probably not like that brat if they knew that some rascal had his eye on their sister.
But now, the four older brothers of the Su family have begun to accept him and are willing to entrust Xiao Ruanruan to his protection.
This time, however, he didn't do it well...
When Su Yan walked up to Gu Chen, he gave him a deep look and even patted him on the shoulder.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment. If Su Xiaowu was not counted, his fourth brother was the first brother to have made such a friendly gesture towards him.
——
In the basement.
Huang Youwei was tied to the iron frame with the red rope he had prepared himself. Even the small handcuffs were now deeply embedded in his flesh. The leather whip he had prepared, soaked in chili water, was lashed at him again and again.
Each blow left the skin torn and bleeding!
His hoarse voice could no longer produce any sound, and he would wake up from each bout of pain after fainting.
Xiao Yiyi had already stood in front of Huang Youwei before the three Su brothers and Gu Chen, while the bodyguards who were whipping Huang Youwei stopped and took a step back.
Xiao Yiyi toyed with the thin, gleaming scalpel in front of Huang Youwei, her eyes as cold as ice. Her clear, magnetic voice sounded like it came from hell to Huang Youwei: "Do you know that in ancient times there was a form of punishment called Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts)?"
Huang Youwei, who was already in so much pain that his consciousness was blurred, trembled uncontrollably when he heard the last two words.
But Xiao Yiyi continued to explain, "It's to keep you alive, to watch me slice off pieces of your flesh. In ancient times, the punishment usually required that the prisoner not die before the first thousand cuts."
But if it were me, I can guarantee you won't die within three thousand cuts.
"Do you know what this means? It means that all the flesh on your body is gone, leaving only blood vessels, nerves, internal organs, and bones, and I'm still letting you live!"
Huang Youwei's cloudy eyes widened in terror as he stared at Xiao Yiyi, who was dressed in a white coat and looked as elegant as a demon from hell.
The immense fear made his upper and lower teeth chatter.
He instinctively wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but with his hands tied and hanging from the iron frame, he didn't even have a chance to beg.
He originally thought that even if the Su family was powerful, his family was not weak either. Even if he took advantage of those two girls, the Su family would at most extort some compensation money from him. He had even prepared the money.
To his utter surprise, the Su family didn't even give him a chance to offer money...
He shook his head desperately, his voice, already hoarse from howling, now strained to scream, "No...please, don't torture me to death..."
"It's Xia Yumeng, that bitch Xia Yumeng... She's the one who sent your two little girls here, she's the one who ruined me!"
Just then, Su Ziyuan walked up to Xiao Yiyi and gave a slight nod to the bodyguard, who then untied Huang Youwei.
His large, protruding body instantly collapsed to the ground. Su Ziyuan stepped forward, about to make a move, but a figure was one step ahead of him.
Gu Chen stepped directly between Huang Youwei's legs.
"Aww—"
Even though Huang Youwei's throat was already so hoarse that he could barely speak, he still let out a heart-wrenching scream after Gu Chen stomped on his vital organs.
Qiu Shun quickly got Gu Chen new shoes to change into.
Gu Chen looked at Huang Youwei as if he were looking at a dead man. "Qiu Shun, take him away. Seal off all the airports. I need to see Xia Yumeng within an hour."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Yiyi, "Second cousin, you don't need to lift a finger to deal with this kind of trash. It'll only dirty your hands."
Xiao Yiyi looked at Gu Chen, paused for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay."
While he did indeed possess the skill to dismember someone, he was a doctor. If he hadn't gone mad with anger after learning what Huang Youwei intended to do to Ruan Ruan and Qian Qian, he wouldn't have wanted to do something that would tarnish his white coat.
