Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Qin Huaizhao nodded in agreement, "That's right."

"But I'm going to explore the surrounding terrain."

Jiang Ningwan also said, "I want to go too. Let's split up and investigate. Yan Huixue will stay in the warehouse and keep an eye on what's going on in the kitchen."

Yan Huixue nodded in agreement, "Okay, be careful."

So the three of them immediately took action separately.

It gets dark early in winter, and lights are turned on one after another in the garden, but the light in the corners is still dim, just right for hiding.

Guests have entered the front yard one after another, and it is very lively.

But it is heavily guarded and difficult to approach.

After briefly understanding the terrain, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Huaizhao returned to the warehouse one after another.

There was some movement in the kitchen.

After a while, a woman in red came into the kitchen and asked, "Where is the food for that girl?"

Then the woman in red was seen leaving with the food box.

Several people's expressions changed and they immediately followed quietly.

……

In the dark secret room, the candlelight was burning.

There was only a bed and a table and chair. It was simple but clean, but the air was always filled with a lingering smell of blood.

Ling Jinlan sat on the bed with a pale face.

A fat man holding a long whip pointed at her angrily, "Don't look so dead! We brothers are already showing mercy by not torturing you!"

"I'll go see Boss Ye later. If I can please him, I can become his concubine and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life!"

"If you don't obey, I'll chop off your hands and feet and throw you into the streets as a beggar!"

The deafening roar, accompanied by the sound of whips hitting the ground, was terrifying.

But Ling Jinlan still looked ashen and remained calm.

"Change your clothes! Behave yourself!" Another thin man whipped the ground and shouted harshly.

Ling Jinlan remained motionless, his face calm and indifferent.

The fat man was so angry that he raised his whip and was about to hit Ling Jinlan, "I'm giving you face, right! This whip didn't hit you, if you don't believe me, I'll hit you for real!"

The thin man quickly hugged him and whispered to dissuade him: "No, no, no, the boss said not to touch her. This is for Boss Ye. Boss Ye won't like her if she gets hurt."

The fat man was so angry that he rushed out of the door and whipped the railing with a whip to vent his anger.

"Damn it, I've never been so angry!"

"Is this woman sick?"

From the time it was brought here until now, it has not said a word, nor struggled or ran away. It seems obedient, but it refuses to cooperate with anything.

He refused to eat and refused to change his clothes.

No matter how many threats and intimidation tactics were used, even pretending to chop off her hands, she remained expressionless from beginning to end, as if she had punched cotton.

But I can't move or get hurt.

It’s even harder than those hard bones!

In the secret room, the thin man almost knelt down to beg her, "My dear aunt, please change your clothes. Boss Ye will be here soon. We can't report to you if you keep doing this."

"You'll be dead by then!"

"Take my advice, now that we're here, we should make the best of it. No matter what, we should stay alive first, right?"

Ling Jinlan's eyes were cold and he remained unmoved.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside.

The fat man turned around and saw the person coming. He stood up straight and said respectfully, "Auntie Li."

Li Gu gave him a look of disdain, "It's been so long and you still can't figure it out?"

The fat man looked embarrassed. "We can't scare this girl by not torturing her or giving her drugs."

Li Gu curled her lips and chuckled, "Everyone has weaknesses. How can we rely on brute force for everything?"

The fat man was puzzled, "Does Aunt Li have any solution?"

Li Gu said calmly, "Go and bring a girl here. Cut off her hands and feet in front of her. See if she still obeys."

Hearing this, the fat man's eyes lit up, "Li Gu still has a way!"

The door of the secret room was open, and Ling Jinlan also heard these words, and a bit of anger appeared in his calm eyes.

Soon the fat man grabbed a girl with messy hair and blood on her face. The fat man brought her in by her hair and pushed her onto the table.

The thin man grabbed her hand and put it on the table.

The woman screamed in fear.

Ling Jinlan clutched her sleeves tightly.

"If I can't touch you, can I touch her?" The fat man snorted coldly, raised the whip and lashed it hard.

"what--"

The cry of pain made Ling Jinlan's heart suddenly tighten.

"How about it? Do you want to change it?"

"If you still don't obey, I'll chop off her fingers, one by one, for you to see!"

Li Gu leaned against the door, smiling, certain that the girl would not have the heart to do so.

After all, that was how she fell into the trap.

The fat man drew out his dagger as he spoke.

The woman was so frightened that her voice was trembling as she begged for mercy: "I'll be obedient, I'll be obedient, please let me go..."

That crying tone makes my scalp tingle.

"It's no use if you obey her. She has to obey you. Please beg her to save you."

The woman immediately turned her gaze to Ling Jinlan, her eyes full of fear, and regarded Ling Jinlan as her only hope.

"Girl, please, save me..."

Ling Jinlan's eyes turned red, and she lowered them. She finally said, "I'll change."

Hearing this, the fat man laughed, "This trick really works!"

Li Gu smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, Ling Jinlan slowly raised his finger and pointed at Li Gu, "I want her to help me change clothes."

Then, she pointed at the girl and said, "She stays too."

The fat man looked at Li Gu hesitantly.

Li Gu was not angry. "You look like a spoiled young lady, so I will serve you for once."

Then the fat man and the other man left the room and closed the door.

Li Gu picked up the clean clothes folded on the bed and said, "When you follow Boss Ye, you will also need servants to serve you. It will be no different from when you were a rich lady..."

puff-

Before she could finish her words, a sharp piece of porcelain was suddenly knocked away by the powerful internal force and pierced her throat.

Blood splattered.

It splashed on the face of the girl next to her, and she turned pale with fright and fell to the ground.

Li Gu opened her mouth and blood gushed out of it. The hand covering her neck was instantly stained with blood.

She looked at Ling Jinlan in disbelief, unable to believe that it was she who did it.

"Finally you showed up." Ling Jinlan spoke softly with a cold look in his eyes.

She didn't run away because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to find this woman.

Taking advantage of others' kindness to kidnap them is more hateful than anyone else here.

The two people outside the secret room heard no movement from inside and couldn't help but shout, "Li Gu, are you ready?"

The girl on the ground was trembling with fear, staring at the door nervously.

Ling Jinlan slowly stood up, pulled out the dagger from Li Gu's waist, made a hushing gesture to the girl, signaling her to hide behind.

The girl nodded, covered her mouth and hid in the corner.

"Li Gu? Are you okay?"

Ling Jinlan took the dagger and slowly walked to the side of the door.

"come in."

The next moment, the door of the secret room opened.

The fat man saw the red-dressed figure lying on the ground and rushed forward in shock, "Li Gu!"

At that moment, the dagger in Ling Jinlan's hand cut his throat cleanly.

Kill with one knife.

The thin man was frightened and wanted to run away, but Ling Jinlan grabbed his collar and dragged him into the secret room.

After just two moves, the thin guy was stabbed in the throat.

The ground was covered with blood.

Jiang Ningwan and others followed Li Gu into the dungeon, but there were many guards on the way, so the three of them had to act cautiously and eliminate the guards along the way.

He quickly ran out of the secret room.

The next moment, he ran into Ling Jinlan in the secret room.
