Chapter 630: Chapter 633: Making Her Suffer But Not Killing Her
Lee Yi shook his head, “No, it gets locked till dark every time, and then the young master lets Miss Beibei leave. Miss Beibei’s health isn’t great, and the dampness in the basement is too heavy, her body can’t handle spending the night there.”
Gu Junzhu sneered coldly, “If her health is poor and the dampness in the basement doesn’t suit her, then why the hell would he still confine her there?”
The more he asked, the angrier and more regretful Gu Junzhu got, wishing it was him who met Ye Xingbei initially.
If he was the one who had rescued Ye Xingbei in the streets of Jiang City back then, he would definitely have cared and loved her dearly, not letting her bear any hardships or indignities.
Ye Xingli was also heartbroken as he mumbled, “I didn’t know… I really didn’t know. If I knew, I would have persuaded my brother. Beibei…”
He turned his gaze towards Ye Xingbei, heartbroken and regretful, “Why didn’t you tell me? If you had told me, I would have confronted him, I wouldn’t let him treat you that way.”
Ye Xingbei chuckled lightly, not responding.
Whenever Ye Xingli went out, he always took a long time to return.
By the time Ye Xingli returned, her wounds would have healed nicely. Wouldn’t it be odd for her to complain to Ye Xingli then?
Moreover, every time Ye Xinglan punished her, it was always for a reason, it was never without cause.
She was very naive at that time, thinking that Ye Xinglan was genuinely trying to make her a better person, so he was tougher on her.
At the Ye’s house, whether it was food, clothing, or living arrangements, Ye Xinglan never treated her and Xiao Shu unfairly.
She and Xiao Shu lived in the luxurious and comfortable house of the Ye family. They were cared for by servants every day, without worries about food and drink, and didn’t have to worry about being bullied by others.
At that time, she was grateful to every member of the Ye family.
Before she was sent to Wu Qizhen by Ye Zhitong, she had never resented any member of the Ye family, including Ye Xinglan.
Seeing Ye Xingbei not talking, Ye Xingli dropped his head in despair.
What’s done is done, the damage has been inflicted.
Now, no matter what is said, it’s useless.
The only thing he could do was be better to Ye Xingbei in the future, compensating for what they had once owed her.
Gu Junzhu suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to question Lee Yi, “When Beibei passed out from being locked up, how did you handle it?”
“I would call the maids over to carry Miss Beibei back to her room,” Lee Yi said: “The maid would clean her, medicate her, change her clothes, and then I would check on her to make sure Miss Beibei was fine before I would go back to my room to rest. After I left, a maid would stay by Beibei’s bed until she woke up.”
“If Beibei passed out, how would you know?” Gu Junzhu stared at Lee Yi, his gaze as cold as a knife, “Aren’t you standing outside the door? Could you discover it the moment Beibei passed out?”
Under the sharpness of Gu Junzhu’s gaze, Lee Yi’s face felt raw.
He awkwardly avoided Gu Junzhu’s gaze, saying in a lowered voice, “Because Miss Beibei’s health isn’t good, every time she’s locked in the basement, there’s an alarm device connected to her finger that monitors her vital signs. It’s similar to an EKG monitor in a hospital, if Miss Beibei’s vital signs become unstable, the alarm will sound, and I will know immediately.”
Gu Junzhu listened in disbelief.
He couldn’t help but chuckle sarcastically, looking at Ye Xingli, “I found out that Ye Xinglan is quite the sadist, torturing people in such inventive ways, even using an alarm. To both make Ye Xiaobei suffer, but not kill her, he’s obviously put in a lot of effort!”
