Yu Qiubai was very familiar with the surveillance cameras and the layout of the Fifth Family's house. It was as if he was following her into his own house.
Shen Xi followed him and climbed over the wall into the Fifth Family's house. Her eyes were dark and the murderous aura around her intensified.
Yu Qiubai didn't even dare to get close to her. It was as if he would be crushed to death by her aura. He also didn't dare to ask her why she wanted to come over.
Until Shen Xi looked up and asked him, "Do you know that there is a basement in the Fifth Family's house?"
Yu Qiubai told her everything he knew, but he was a little afraid of her at the moment. "There are many basements in the Fifth Family's house. There is a wine cellar for storing wine, food, a personal studio, and a human specimen room."
Usually, large families would have basements for all kinds of purposes.
"It is used to imprison people." Shen Xi suddenly smiled. The corners of her lips curled up into a cruel smile. The murderous aura in her eyes seemed to surge out with a bang.
Her hands, which were hanging by her sides, were already tightly clenched into fists. She glanced at the dilapidated building in front of her as if she wanted to completely crush it.
Yu Qiubai was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes flashed with obvious seriousness. He nodded and said, "Come with me!"
He had infiltrated the Fifth Family's house more than once, but he hadn't been able to find any useful information. He really did know of a basement. It was very small and stuffy. It was similar to a torture room, but it was a torture room with all kinds of cruel instruments.
He had only been there once. At night, it was eerie and terrifying. The kind of cruelty that made one tremble from the bottom of their heart was something that normal people wouldn't want to experience a second time.
When she asked this, the doubts in his mind suddenly cleared up. An extremely absurd answer, which was the closest to reality, formed in his mind.
Li Yuen!
She had become like this. She wanted to enter the basement because of Li Yuen. Li Yuen had been imprisoned in that basement before.
The sky was completely dark.
The entire Fifth Family's house was shrouded in darkness. Perhaps it was because of the color of the sky, but even the falling snow looked terrifyingly dark and eerie.
Yu Qiubai had wanted to accompany her down, but when he reached the door, she stopped him. He could only watch as she went down alone.
No one had been in the basement for a long time. The lock on the door had been broken at some point, and it had rusted and fallen to the ground.
Shen Xi stood at the door. She took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the heavy iron door in front of her.
Behind the door, a musty smell mixed with dampness and a foul stench assaulted her senses. However, she acted as if she didn't smell anything and took a step in.
To the left of the door was the light switch. The light was not broken yet. The cold white light was very dim, like a pair of eyes full of hatred. When it shone on the objects in the room, it also emitted a sinister resentment.
Opposite her was a small iron cage. She didn't know what it was made of, but it wasn't rusty at all.
Beside the cage were four iron chains that were as thick as a baby's arm. The handcuffs on the chains were very small, not much thicker than the iron chains. One look and she could tell that they were used to restrain children.
The iron cage, the handcuffs, the chains, and the ground beside it were all stained with blood. After a long time, the blood had already changed color.
On the walls, on the table, on the floor, and on the shelves, there were all kinds of torture instruments. All of them were stained with blood.
A whip that was as thick as an arm by her feet was soaked in blood. At this moment, it looked like rust and was a grayish-brown color.
She didn't know how she walked in. Her footsteps were heavy as if they were filled with lead. Every step she took felt like she was walking on a knife's edge. Her heart was bleeding.
This was it.
This was the place where her brother was imprisoned by that pervert. This was the place where he spent his childhood.
She couldn't imagine how he had endured such pain at such a young age. How did he survive? How did he survive?
She could even see the small figure curled up in the cage, lying on the side of the cage. He was covered in blood and looked like he was on the verge of death.
She finally knew why he had such a cold look in his eyes when she first saw him. His eyes were filled with murderous hatred.
It was the fire of karma that only people who had experienced all the despair and pain and climbed out of hell would have.
Mother Yu said that his father, the patriarch of the Diwu family, was a pervert and an inhumane beast.
He controlled everything. Anyone who resisted him or dared to stand in his way would be cruelly killed by him.
Whether it was his wife or his son.
Everyone in the Diwu family was afraid of him. They were afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts, but no one dared to expose him. Anyone who wanted to resist him was dead. Everyone could only live under his shadow and tyrannical power.
Everyone in the Diwu family knew that as long as they were obedient, didn't provoke him, catered to him, and stood on his side, they would be safe.
However, he was a beast in human clothing. He had the appearance of a beast and was a modest and elegant gentleman. He was the dream lover of all the socialites in the capital.
His goal had always been very clear. He wanted the Li family, so he pursued the only precious daughter of the Li family. He won her favor and made her fall in love with him wholeheartedly. He made her marry him willingly, making her think that she had found the right person and married him happily.
However, all of this was just an illusion.
After she got married, he was very good to her. He was even better than before. She was pregnant with his child. She named the baby with him, decorated the baby's room, told the baby stories, and looked forward to the baby's birth.
On the day the child was born, he did not come to see her. The man she loved deeply did not stay by her side when she was struggling in the delivery room.
The child was born. It was a boy. They had already named him Diwu Yanchen. She was very happy. She, who was weak after giving birth, was happy to hold on until his arrival.
However, what she saw in his eyes was not the surprise of a father, nor was there the slightest bit of concern or heartache. He only looked at her coldly. He looked at the child in her arms as if he was looking at a pile of trash with disdain, disgust, and cold mockery.
At that time, she did not know that all the suffering, torment, pain, and despair in her life would begin at this moment.
He ordered his men to take the child away, ignoring her objections and her cries. He had become so unfamiliar to her. She could no longer find the slightest sense of familiarity in his eyes. It was as if all the love and tenderness in the past were just her own hallucinations.
