When Chu Ho woke up again, she felt a chill all over her body.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked around, only to find that she was in a cold and damp cellar.
Cellar?!
Although it was called a cellar, it was more accurate to say that this was the Gu family's underground prison. It was specially used to imprison those traitors who had betrayed the Gu family.
There were many torture devices in the prison.
When Chu Ho first entered the Gu family, she was lucky enough to see the torture devices of the Gu family.
She did not know how cruel the torture methods of the Manchurian period were.
She only saw with her own eyes that these ancient torture devices of the Gu family were enough to force even a tight-lipped person to give up here, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.
Chu Ho subconsciously wanted to stand up, but just as she stood up, her ankle was dragged back by a force. She was caught off guard and almost fell forward to the ground.
When she turned around to look, she was shocked to find that her four limbs were tightly shackled by chains!
Her wrists were suspended high in the air by the chains.
Her ankles were also tightly wrapped by the chains.
Damn it!
Chu Ho bit her lips tightly and stared at the bruises on her hands caused by the chains. The muscles on her face tightened.
"I said long ago that the Gu family is not a place where you can come and go as you please."
Not far away, Gu Jinglian's evil voice sounded again.
Chu Ho raised her head and stared in the direction of the voice with a pair of red eyes.
She saw him sitting elegantly on the chair with the official's hat. His legs were elegantly crossed, and one of his hands was casually fiddling with the jade ring on his finger. His leisurely appearance was inexplicably compatible with the gloomy and cold cellar at this moment.
Chu Ho had never been afraid of anyone.
Except for Gu Jinglian.
There was a kind of aura on him that made people feel intimidated.
Even if he did not do anything or say anything, just sitting there, his entire body exuded a hair-raising aura. Especially the coldness that flashed by the corners of his almond-shaped eyes, it was really frightening.
If Gu Jinglian was to be described as an animal —
It must be a cold-blooded creature like a snake.
Just his gaze alone would make anyone feel as if there was a cold snake coiled around their shoulders. The pair of snake eyes would expand as it stared at them covetously. The snake's body coiled tighter and tighter, enough to give people the illusion of suffocation.
At this moment, Gu Jinglian's eyes fell on her body. Chu Ho's breath gradually rose and fell violently, unable to calm down.
"What do you want?" Chu Ho asked through gritted teeth.
"How dare you barge into the Gu Residence alone." The corners of Gu Jinglian's lips curled up coldly as he slowly retorted, "I'm the one who should be asking you what you want!"
"My goal is very clear!"
Chu Ho did not beat around the bush and simply negotiated with him. He said word by word, "I'm here to bring Xiao Bao away!"
"Xiao Bao is my son." Gu Jinglian calmly revealed the truth.
Chu Ho was stunned, then sneered coldly. "This is my son. My blood flows in his body!"
"Similarly, my blood flows in his body too!"
After Gu Jinglian finished speaking, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was a little conflicted. "We seem to have a dispute over custody rights?"
"…"
"Listen, I can let you go, but I have a condition."
