Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 169 Jealousy

Chi Shuyao tried her best to break free from Gu Chenfeng's grasp, but her strength was insignificant compared to his. She flailed her arms wildly and kicked her legs incessantly, attempting to escape this terrifying confinement.

However, all her efforts were in vain. She could only watch helplessly as the suffocating feeling intensified, her heart filled with despair and helplessness.

At this moment, Chi Shuyao stared in utter terror at the terrifying man before her, whose face was contorted and whose eyes were bloodshot. Her mind went completely blank. She had no idea who this ferocious-looking man was.

"Why did you run away? You vicious woman! You've ruined my father's life so badly, and you still have the nerve to run away? Explain yourself! Now! Right now!" Gu Chenfeng glared furiously at Chi Shuyao, his bloodshot eyes burning like raging flames, and roared at her with all his might.

Chi Shuyao opened her mouth wide, trying to explain something, but could only manage muffled, indistinct sobs. With her throat tightly choked, she was having extreme difficulty breathing, let alone speaking.

This man looked so familiar, as if she'd seen him somewhere before, but no matter how hard Chi Shuyao tried to recall, she couldn't remember anything about him. Could it be that she had really committed an unforgivable mistake against him, causing him to hate her so much? But… but no matter how hard she racked her brains, Chi Shuyao remained clueless; her mind was too chaotic.

Just then, Gu Chenfeng noticed Chi Shuyao's terrified and confused look. Suddenly, as if he realized something, he slowly released his grip on Chi Shuyao's neck.

As the intense pressure disappeared, Chi Shuyao gasped for breath as if granted a pardon, greedily inhaling the fresh air.

"Yes, I almost forgot... you've been mute for a long time..." Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself.

Looking at Chi Shuyao's slightly deranged and foolish appearance, a fleeting hint of hesitation flashed in Gu Chenfeng's deep, dark eyes. However, this hesitation was only momentary, instantly swallowed up by the burning hatred within him.

"Heh!" Gu Chenfeng sneered. How could this viper, this wicked woman, have gone mad so easily? Her acting is quite convincing!

Even if she truly has lost her mind, so what? She must spend the rest of her life paying for her father's debts! She can forget about escaping from here! And she can never hope to get away with it!

Chi Shuyao finally managed to catch her breath, her eyes now filled with endless pleading. She tremblingly pointed to herself, then gently shook her head, as if trying to show that she had never harmed anyone.

Witnessing this scene, Gu Chenfeng's already uncontrollable rage erupted like a volcano. In an instant, boundless hatred flashed in his eyes, and he yanked the poor girl off the soft, comfortable bed, then roughly threw her to the ground.

"Even now, you still dare to deny it... You're simply a shameless, utterly despicable slut... You deserve to die... Why are you still alive and well... What right do you have... Why isn't it you who's dead!" Gu Chenfeng roared and screamed hoarsely, increasingly losing his reason and control. In his rage, he raised his foot and kicked the woman's frail abdomen with all his might.

Chi Shuyao let out a painful groan and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Gu Chenfeng leaned down: "What are you doing again? Do you think you're pitiful?"

Chi Shuyao was in so much pain that she couldn't even notice what the man was saying to mock her. She forced herself to stay upright, gesturing wildly and looking at the man pleadingly.

Gu Chenfeng keenly noticed her unusual behavior and was about to ask her a question when the tightly closed door suddenly opened without warning.

His face darkened with anger, and he turned around abruptly. After seeing who it was, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"You've arrived?" the man's slightly surprised voice rang out.

The uninvited guest was named Gu Yonghui. He first glanced at Chi Shuyao, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood, his eyes filled with a complex and unfathomable expression. Then, he turned his gaze to Gu Chenfeng and slowly said, "Brother, don't blame yourself too much for this. Back then, the trauma our father suffered was far more severe than this woman's! Although he can't speak now, he's not in a permanent slumber." As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in Gu Yonghui's deep black eyes.

However, after hearing Gu Yonghui's words, the slight reluctance and pity for Chi Shuyao that Gu Chenfeng had felt earlier vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by endless irritation and intense killing intent surging into his heart like a tide.

"In any case, we finally found him." Gu Chenfeng said calmly.

"Brother, it's her sister, Chi Xiaoyu. I don't know what methods this woman used to escape to Z City with Shuyao. I've locked her up in the basement now." Gu Yonghui smiled with satisfaction after seeing the change in Gu Chenfeng's eyes.

Gu Yonghui approached Chi Shuyao and pinched her chin: "You'd better behave yourself, or your sister will be in trouble."

Suddenly, Gu Chenfeng picked up the girl and strode towards the door without hesitation.

"Brother, what's wrong? Where are you taking her?" Gu Yonghui asked quickly upon seeing this. His tone seemed calm, but if you looked closely, you would find that beneath his seemingly calm exterior lay an indescribable tension.

Without turning his head, Gu Chenfeng replied to his younger brother's question, "Lock her and her sister together."

Upon hearing his brother's decision, Gu Yonghui's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, and he cheerfully replied, "Okay, brother!" At that moment, he looked like a sunny, innocent young man.

However, the moment Gu Chenfeng turned around, the smile on Gu Yonghui's face vanished without a trace, replaced by an extremely gloomy expression.

He stared intently at the girl in Gu Chenfeng's arms. A near-mad jealousy surged deep in his eyes.

After throwing Chi Shuyao into the basement, Gu Chenfeng came out without lingering.

In the dark, damp basement, reeking of mildew, the icy floor seemed to penetrate to the bone. Chi Shuyao lay lifelessly on the chilling ground, her face as pale as paper.

Beside her, her younger sister Chi Xiaoyu, also imprisoned, was curled up. Her slender, delicate arms were covered in shocking bloodstains, yet she still tightly embraced her sister's trembling body.

Chi Xiaoyu's body was crisscrossed with wounds, and blood kept seeping from her broken skin, staining her thin clothes red. And all of this was thanks to Gu Yonghui!

He ordered his men to brutally beat her until she was on the verge of death. Only then did Gu Yonghui coldly reveal a secret to the dying Chi Xiaoyu—the person who helped the two sisters escape the Gu family back then was actually someone he had specially arranged. His purpose was to make Gu Chenfeng resent them.

Gu Yonghui is a madman! His so-called "escape" was nothing but a carefully planned scam.

Looking at her sister, covered in wounds and blood, Chi Shuyao felt an unbearable pain in her heart, as if being stabbed with a knife. She desperately wanted to say something to comfort Chi Xiaoyu's wounded soul, but no matter how hard she tried, not a single sound came out. A wave of despair and helplessness washed over her, almost suffocating her.

"Sister, don't be afraid... I'm here... someone will come to save us..." Chi Xiaoyu gently comforted Chi Shuyao, but she knew in her heart that there was basically no chance that anyone would come to save them.

Just as the only sound in the air was sobbing, the basement door suddenly opened, and there stood Gu Yonghui.
