Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Footsteps sounded from afar, getting closer and closer. Gu Man looked up slightly and was a little curious about what this group of people would do next.
Until Gu Rou stood in front of the cage and looked up and down. The smile on her lips became even more impudent. “Gu Man, you didn’t expect this to happen, did you?”
“Did Gu Yuan ask you to do this?” Gu Man stared in Gu Ron’s direction with a calm expression. She did not have the self-awareness of being locked in an iron cage. Instead, she was as calm as if this was her home.
It was this expression that made Gu Rou very unhappy. She was clearly as easy to bully as a quail in the past, why was she so calm recently? She really wanted to tear off that disguise.
“That’s right.” The smile on Gu Ron’s face became even more impudent. Didn’t she care about her father the most? Then she had to use this to agitate Gu Man. “It was Father who asked me to catch you. How is it? You worked so hard for so many years to obtain Father’s love, but in the end, it made Father hate you more and more. You must be feeling terrible now.”
After saying this, Gu Rou stared at Gu Man’s face, wanting to see the change in her emotions from it, but she was destined to be disappointed. Even though Gu Rou had already said so, Gu Man’s emotions did not change at all. She was not disappointed, sad, or hysterical as she had imagined.
How could this be? She shouldn’t have such an expression. Gu Rou frowned tightly, dissatisfied with her current performance. “Gu Man, what are you pretending for? You clearly care so much about Father’s opinion, but you’re pretending to be so calm now. Then I might as well tell you that Father is completely disappointed in you now. You’ll suffer after this.”
“Is that so?” Gu Man looked at Gu Rou, but she was looking around from the corner of her eye, calculating how to leave this place later.
Even if she could not leave this stupid iron cage, Xiang Yin would come in half an hour later. At the moment, it seemed that there were only these few people in the factory. It was relatively easy to deal with them. They really underestimated her.
It had to be said that their schemes were still inferior to those of adults. There was not even a guard outside the door.
Gu Rou was very unhappy to be ignored. She frowned and was about to speak when a voice sounded in her ear.
“Cousin, why are you talking so much nonsense with her? Don’t forget our most important matter. She’s stalling for time now.” The person who spoke was Zhong Yao. She also walked forward and stared at Gu Man with hatred in her eyes.
Only then did Gu Rou react. She stared at Gu Man thoughtfully and came to a realization. “No wonder you’re so calm. Don’t tell me you’ve already arranged for some people to be outside? But don’t worry, we’ll be very fast. So fast that those people won’t be able to save you in time.”
After saying this, Gu Rou walked behind her. The four of them smiled at the same time, looking especially strange.
They did not leave the factory completely. Instead, they stood at the side with their arms crossed, as if they were waiting for a good show to unfold.
The men at the beginning walked forward and stood around the iron cage in groups.
Gu Man roughly browsed over and realized that there were about ten people. From their physiques, they should be professional bodyguards.
It was very difficult to deal with such people. After all, their cooperation and kung fu were the same as the hooligans outside.
However, it was not difficult for Gu Man to resolve. She just did not know what they were planning to do.
Just as Gu Man was thinking, one of the men took out something that looked like a key. He fumbled around the iron cage for a while before the key was inserted and a door was opened.
Only then did Gu Man realize that there was another door above the iron cage.
As the man inserted the key into the keyhole of the iron cage, a crisp sound sounded from the side and the door was opened.
In order to prevent Gu Man from escaping from inside, a few men surrounded the door, blocking the way out.
Gu Man looked at the opened door and then at the men who gradually walked into the iron cage. They all walked into the iron cage, and Gu Rou, who was outside, walked forward and closed the door tightly..
