Chapter 400 Interrogation of Gu Ze
The vacant villa in Xinghewan is cold and empty, and the air is filled with the residual disinfectant after cleaning and a faint odor.
Gu Ze was woken up last night by bucket after bucket of freezing cold water.
His car, which had once carried a sea of filth, and himself, were roughly washed by the bodyguards.
Although he had changed into clean clothes, he was still wet and cold, his hair was messy and stuck to his forehead, and he was tied to a chair in a miserable state.
His carefully constructed disguise had long since been torn apart, leaving only the panic of a trapped beast and unsuppressed resentment in his eyes.
When Gu Ze saw the four brothers of the Lu family step into the hall together, his eyelids twitched violently.
Fear pierced his spine like an icicle, but was immediately ignited by twisted hatred.
He knew he was finished, but he still roared fiercely, trying to regain a sense of control: "Lu Yannan, what do you want to do? Illegal detention is a felony."
"I'm warning you, let me go immediately, otherwise the Gu family will not let you go." He roared hysterically, and his voice echoed in the empty hall, sounding even more hollow.
Lu Yannan seemed not to hear the harsh noise.
He walked straight to a clean armchair that had been prepared in advance opposite Gu Ze and sat down, crossing his legs elegantly.
His movements were slow and calm, and his posture was as if he was meeting guests in his own living room, but his face, as warm as jade, was now covered with a layer of icy coldness.
He didn't say anything, just watched quietly, and his powerful aura was enough to make the air stagnant.
"Fuck you!" Lu Chixu exploded first. Gu Ze's shouting instantly ignited his anger.
He rushed forward a few steps and kicked hard at the metal leg of the chair where Gu Ze was sitting.
With a bang, the chair was kicked sideways and Gu Ze fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.
Without waiting for his reaction, Lu Chixu kicked him again in the huddled waist, his eyes red. "Kidnapped, and you dare to threaten me? Tell me, who ordered this? Why did you kidnap them?"
The roar exploded in the empty hall.
Lu Jianheng slowly walked over to the side, put his hands in his pockets, and glanced at the person on the ground as if he were looking at mud: "Tsk, second brother."
His tone was lazy and mocking: "Why waste your time talking to someone whose brain is soaked in sewage?" Light fluttered across Gu Ze's twisted face: "His dirty thoughts are either to force others because he can't get what he wants, or to destroy others because of his inferiority complex."
"It's unnecessary to ask." Every word was piercing and full of contempt.
Gu Zebei's guts were churning from the kick, and his face was horrified by the verbal humiliation: "Just like Lu Shiman, take off all your clothes..."
Lu Jianheng restrained his nonchalant look and stepped on his face fiercely: "Trash really always hangs together. You and Fu Bowang are really worthy of being called shit stirrers and cesspools. What you say is equally disgusting."
Gu Ze's face was stepped on hard and he cried out in pain.
"It was Fu Bowang who said the same thing to that scumbag and instructed you, wasn't it?" Lu Jianheng retracted his foot, squatted in front of him, his eyes cold.
Gu Ze said nothing.
Bang!
A water glass suddenly exploded on the floor beside his face, and cold water and glass fragments splashed all over his head and face.
Gu Ze shrank in horror and looked in the direction of the sound.
It was Lu Qijun who had been standing silently in the shadows behind Lu Yannan.
There was no anger on his face, and his gaze was as calm as an ancient well, but the attack he had just made was quick, accurate and ruthless, and was filled with cold anger.
Seeing Gu Ze's frightened look, he slowly spoke in a low voice: "Speak."
Gu Ze's face lost all color.
But he couldn't reveal the person behind it, absolutely not.
"I... I was drunk, and I just wanted to buy them a drink..." Cold sweat mixed with water dripped down his face, and his voice trembled: "I was impulsive, I didn't intend to do anything."
"Drink?" Lu Yannan finally spoke, his voice as gentle as usual, and no emotion could be heard, but Gu Ze was shaking like a sieve.
"Drag me into the car by force and throw away the bodyguards. Are you treating me to drinks?" He leaned forward slightly, and the invisible pressure suddenly increased.
"Last chance." Lu Yannan sat back in his chair again, tilted his head and glanced at Lu Qiyun: "Did I drink? Then you can smash it."
"Oh." Lu Qijun glanced at the broken glass beside Gu Ze, took out his thermos cup from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yannan: "Brother, drink some water."
Lu Chixu was confused: "Lu Qijun, your brain..."
Lu Yannan glanced over and Lu Chixu shut up in an instant.
Gu Ze's throat was dry, and cold sweat mixed with ice water slid down his forehead, stickily wetting his collar.
He gritted his teeth, his heart torn between his conscience and his desires. Fu Bowang had something in his hand that he couldn't see, so he couldn't tell anyone. Moreover, his heart was filled with...
But don’t say it?
He didn't dare to bet on how long he could withstand the Lu brothers' tactics.
"I...I really just..." His lips trembled and he swallowed the words back.
He lowered his head, his body trembling even more violently, and chose to confront in silence.
"Fuck, you're so shameless." Lu Chixu completely lost his patience. Gu Ze's cowardly look of preferring death to speaking made it impossible for him to suppress the pent-up anger in his chest.
He suddenly turned to the bodyguard next to him, his eyes fierce, his voice piercing through his teeth: "Give him a good beating, just don't kill him, beat him until he thinks it over and decides when he's willing to speak."
Two burly bodyguards immediately stepped forward with expressionless faces. One of them held down Gu Ze's struggling shoulders, while the other raised his fist. The air instantly became tense.
"Wait." Lu Jianheng, who had been leaning lazily against the pillar, seemed to be aroused by this scene.
He slowly straightened up, gently brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and leisurely tapped the cold pillar with his fingertips.
"Hey, it's so boring to fight like this." His tone was still slow and drawn out, but his eyes were like poisoned ice needles, slowly piercing Gu Ze.
"Let me think about it, this kind of tough performance..." He pretended to think, a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Why is he so similar to Fu Bowang?"
"Oh, I remember now." He added as if he suddenly remembered something important: "It was at Lin Yanxin's flower shop. Her beloved flower shop was smashed up, and she threw dirty water on our Manman without asking any questions..."
He looked at Gu Ze, his eyes full of knowing mockery: "At that time, Fu Bowang, in order to stand up for your Xinxin, pointed at Manman and said..."
He took a breath and perfectly replicated that vicious tone: "Lu Shiman, if you stand naked in front of me like this, I will..."
Lu Jianheng shrugged: "I don't know the second half of the sentence, because I beat him up."
He tilted his head to look at Gu Ze: "Now that you say such things, what do you think will be your fate?"
Every word Lu Jianheng said was like a spark thrown onto dry wood, instantly igniting a raging fire of anger.
