Chapter 975 - 978: The Tip of the Iceberg Amidst Thick Fog 2
Feng Yue nodded: "Your subordinate understands."
Gu Shaocheng’s eyes were filled with angry blood vessels, and even Feng Yue was frightened by the gloomy expression in his eyes, holding his breath from across the table: "Our friends in Japan will continue the investigation, and any information will be sent over at any time. So... I will take my leave first."
After he left, Gu Shaocheng sat in his chair for a long time, staring at the report in his hand, but there was nothing discernible from the report. It confirmed a diagnosis of Lu-Garré syndrome, the only notable detail being that the report suggested that the loss of transport functions in his mother’s body was due to abnormal linking of the transport protein mRNA transcription copies in the motor cortex, professional terms that he did not understand. He planned to take this report to Tian Buyu for analysis to see how it could be explained.
Now, all his attention was focused on the time of his father’s death!
It was too much of a coincidence!
He didn’t believe it was just a coincidence. He stood up and quickly left the study.
...
The Gu Family’s private prison, a place he visited only a few times a year, usually handled by subordinates. Several of them cautiously served the influential man, bringing tea and water, bringing the person he requested.
Seeing the woman approaching, the powerful man only felt exhausted and gestured: "Everyone leave, without my permission, no one is allowed to come and disturb."
His subordinates obeyed and departed.
He Yingteng, no longer looking the aristocratic lady she once was, had become so thin in just a few months that he almost couldn’t recognize her, her skin roughened from no longer being able to maintain it at beauty salons, making her seem several years older.
Upon seeing Gu Shaocheng, she instinctively wanted to flee.
Gu Shaocheng said: "Sit!"
He Yingteng hesitated for a moment, dodging his gaze, glanced at the chair beside her, struggled for several minutes, and then sat down, trembling.
She swallowed, trying hard to show some backbone and fierceness: "Gu Shaocheng, you heartless wretch, when will you let me go?"
He glanced at her, calm as an ancient well: "I only ask you once, what do you know about my father?"
He Yingteng’s eyes flickered with a fleeting panic, trying hard to cover it up, quickly reverting to normal, and immediately said: "I don’t know what you are talking about!"
Great! Gu Shaocheng thought coldly: "Three minutes, if you have nothing to tell me, I will cripple one of your legs! Six minutes, if you still have nothing to say, I’ll cripple the other leg. Twelve minutes, if you still have nothing to say, I will cripple one of your arms. Twenty-four minutes, if you still have nothing to say, I will cripple all your limbs!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. I promised to care for you until the end! From now on, consider yourself a limbless woman, and I’ll provide for you for life. I’ll provide your food and clothing until a hundred years later when I will finally lay you to rest. Would you like to test whether my words hold true?"
He said it lightly, but the ruthlessness in his eyes made He Yingteng want to bite her tongue and commit suicide!
But she was an extremely cowardly woman who loved life too much to have the courage to perform such a heroic act of cutting one’s wrists!
At this moment, in her mind, she wondered left and right if he had discovered something?
