In a basement, a disheveled woman huddled in the corner.
The clothes all over his body were torn in pieces, and there was blood on his body. He stared at the window numbly...
As the heavy iron door was pushed open with a "squeak*" sound, a man with scars on his face came in, pulled her hair, and carried her out of the room amidst her screams of terror.
Being impatient by the woman's cry, the man let out a "tsk" sound, slapped the woman hard, and cursed fiercely,
"Shut up, bitch, if you scream again I'll cut your tongue out!"
The woman was stunned by the slap, leaving a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her whole body was spinning, but she didn't dare to make a sound and closed her mouth tightly, making a "wuwu" sound from her throat.
Then he was dragged to a dark place by the man, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood.
"Not dead yet?"
A man's voice came from the darkness, with a hint of amusement.
The man with the scarred face lowered his head and smiled flatteringly.
"That's right, boss. She's still pretty tough. She still has some breath left after playing with her for so long."
The woman who fell on the ground knew that the man was the scar-faced boss. She suddenly struggled and tried to crawl towards the direction of the sound.
As she crawled, she kept murmuring,
"Please, please let me go! I have money, I can give you money!" The man in the darkness said softly, "heh" and walked out of the darkness. Looking at the embarrassed woman on the ground, he felt a little pitiful. He squatted down, looking like a dog.
"Do you think I got you here for money? You think too highly of yourself, and you are not worthy of the Gu family's assets!"
He grabbed the woman's hair a little fiercely,
"It's so pitiful that you don't even know that you have offended anyone? Think again about the stupid things you have done!"
The bloody woman looked at the man blankly, her eyes suddenly widened, and she shook her head fiercely.
"I didn't mean it, I really didn't! I didn't want to throw the bowl of soup on Ning An. I... I was standing still. I was hit by someone! It was Ouyang Manny!"
She tried her best to defend herself: "Ouyang Manni suddenly hit me with her elbow and I lost my balance. You need to look for her!"
She repeated like crazy...
"It's none of my business, it's none of my business, let me go...let me go..."
The man who was pulling her hair looked serious when he heard those four words.
Then he stood up and threw her aside, like throwing away a piece of trash.
"After all, it was you who splashed it. You can only blame yourself. You provoked people you shouldn't have provoked. Now you should have a taste of this."
He snapped his fingers, and someone immediately brought up a bucket of steaming hot water.
Gu Yanyan already knew what she was about to face.
She finally screamed like crazy, tried her best to get up and tried to escape, but was kicked down by the man mercilessly, and blood spurted out of her mouth.
Immediately, the bucket of water was poured on her body mercilessly, and she suddenly let out a shrill roar, like a female ghost crawling out of hell.
The whole body was flushed with hot water, and he was rolling on the ground in the steam. The scorching temperature engulfed the skin, and it became red and bulging little by little. You could even hear the sound of "hissing, hissing" from the burns. People are beyond recognition.
Scarface felt a little frightened when he saw such a scene and looked away. But the man raised his head and looked at the camera in a blind spot with respectful eyes, as if he was waiting for instructions from there.
…
In the study, Ning Xuan looked at the images on the surveillance camera with an indifferent expression, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
When he heard the words Ouyang Manni, he narrowed his eyes with interest and a bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Listening to the woman's painful screams coming from the computer, he felt that the pain caused by Ning An's injury was soothed, and he pressed the microphone on the table with a cold expression.
"Break your limbs and then throw them into the underground casino."
The man's gloomy tone echoed through the microphone in the basement, making people shudder, but no one present dared to speak and lowered their heads in awe.
He glanced at the pendulum hanging on the wall. It was time for his sister to change her dressing, and he turned off the computer.
…
Ning An was lying on the bed, scrolling through her mobile phone boredly, with gauze wrapped in her arms... which made her lose interest.
Ning Xuan also asked Aunt Sun to cook various nutritious soups for her, and she almost vomited from drinking them.
A message suddenly flashed on the phone, from Nangong Yaya.
[An'an, is your arm feeling better? You are really worrying. I just left you for a while and you got hurt, causing me to be scolded by my brother. ]
The girl sent a long message, with a wronged expression at the end, and Ning An smiled helplessly.
He lowered his head to reply to her. Before the message was sent, he was bombarded with several messages. Ning An was a little surprised by her hand speed.
She looked through them one by one and saw the smile gradually disappearing behind them.
[An'an, do you know? Gu Yanyan is missing! ]
[It's quite strange to say that there is no news at all since the disappearance! The police intervened, but nothing was found. It seemed like it had disappeared out of thin air. It was quite scary! ]
[An'an, how come this good living person disappeared without leaving any trace? ]
Yes, how could such a good person disappear like this? A suspicious thought emerged, could it be...
Ning Xuan came into the room with the ointment and frowned slightly.
He looked at the girl sitting blankly, wearing only a thin long skirt.
Although it is already summer, the temperature at night is still a bit cool. Her constitution is weak, and if she falls ill, she will need to be carefully nursed back to health for a long time before she recovers.
He went to close the open door of the balcony first.
Ning An was startled by the sound of the door closing. In a blink of an eye, Ning Xuan was sitting next to her, holding a coat in his hand.
"Sister, it's cold at night, remember to close the balcony door."
Her eyes turned to the ground erratically, and she felt dull.
"You... know about Gu Yanyan's disappearance?" Ning Xuan's eyes flashed, and he put his coat on Ning An expressionlessly.
"I heard that the Gu family is still looking for it," Ning Xuan paused.
"But it's been almost a week since he disappeared. I'm afraid... the chances are bad."
Ning An listened to his calm and calm tone and looked at him with moist eyes, trying to see some flaws in his eyes but failed.
"How could a good person disappear? If he was kidnapped, why didn't the kidnapper ask for money? Is it revenge?"
"Although the Gu family has a small business, it is inevitable that they will encounter enemies. Maybe someone is deliberately seeking revenge."
Ning Xuan said as he gently removed Ning An's gauze.
The wound was already scarred, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the weather is not very hot now and the wound is healing very well. If the weather were hotter, there might be a risk of inflammation.
He stared at the scar with a heavy gaze.
Although the scar is not big, it is still shocking on the snow-like skin. "Sister, I'm not interested in her affairs, but you need to apply medicine on your wound on time every day, so that the scar will heal."
He opened the medicine bottle, squeezed out a little ointment on his fingertips, covered the scar with warm heat, and massaged it carefully and gently in circles.
The ointment is melted by the temperature of the fingertips, and it feels smooth and cool when applied to the wound.
The warmth of her fingertips made the touch feel a little strange. It was itchy, and it spread to her heart bit by bit along with the touch of her skin, making her heart feel numb for a moment.
She looked at Ning Xuan who was concentrating on applying ointment to her.
The dark eyes were gentle and focused, and under the high bridge of the nose was a beautiful mouth. After applying it, he would gently blow on her wound, gently and without any force.
Does it really have nothing to do with him?
But besides him... she really doesn't know anyone else who has such motives and ability to make a person disappear quietly.
