She stumbled to the iron bars, her handcuffs banging against them with a series of harsh sounds. Her hoarse voice was filled with a mixture of love and hate, like boiling magma exploding:
"You finally came to see me..."
Fu Hanzhou stared at the mottled word "Qin" on the wall, and his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty.
Gu Ping'an's ferocious appearance came into view. The handcuffs ruthlessly broke the old wound on her wrist. Fresh blood continued to seep out, dripping onto the blue bricks, blooming into dark red flowers.
But she seemed not to feel the pain, with a twisted smile in her eyes, staring at Fu Hanzhou.

Gu Ping'an's laughter was full of despair, like a bunch of steel needles, piercing everyone's heart.
Qin Ying looked at her madly and suddenly understood why Gu Ping'an never showed off this thing.
