Ruan Zeyan had his own considerations when he didn’t let Madam Ling to come. The following scene was going to be gruesome. If he allowed Madam Ling to come and then she suffered some consequences due to being angry, it could affect his wedding with Ling Tianya in three months. It would not be worth the risk.
It was quiet inside the car. Du Gang was driving in the front without saying a word. No matter how hard Ling Tao tried to pry about what happened, Du Gang’s answer was always, “You will know when you get there.”
The thing was, the more Du Gang acted like that, the more unsettled Ling Tao felt. “Mr. Du, please tell me truthfully, is my daughter’s relationship with Ruan Zeyan having any problem?”
Du Gang’s expression went stagnant for a second, “No, the boss and Miss Ling are doing very well.”
After hearing that answer, Ling Tao’s suspended heart finally settled.
As long as it was not about his daughter, everything else would be easy to handle.
Ling Tao and Qu Wan followed Du Gang into a castle-like building. Through the gates, they saw European-style romantic statues, a fountain, and a long winding corridor. The towering retro building was matched with the dark gloomy weather. Ling Tao was impressed by the wealth of the Ruan Family, but at the same felt like he had just arrived at a vampire castle.
Security guards were posted at the entrance of the building with serious looks on their faces. When they saw Du Gang, they respectfully opened the gates and lowered their heads as they walked in.
Ling Tao stumbled on his steps. In front of his future son-in-law Ruan Zeyan, he did not feel like a father-in-law. It had something to do him spending too many years looking up to the Ruan Family. It was difficult for him to adjust his perspective.
Strangely, Du Gang did not bring him and Qu Wan to the living room or another place where they could sit down. Instead, they were led somewhere underground.
After a series of long and mysterious staircases and corridors, Du Gang finally led them to a door.
Ling Tao and Qu Wan could feel the cold wind around them. It was definitely not a dinner party. At that point, the two of them had both realized something was wrong.
Suddenly, they heard someone crying in pain from the other side of the door.
The hair on the back of Qu Wan’s neck instantly stood up because the person simply sounded too familiar to her. It was the voice of Mr. Bai.
Obviously, Ling Tao also recognized the voice of Mr. Bai. He looked at Du Gang in confusion, “Mr. Du, what going on?”
Du Gang squinted and sneered. “Mr. Ling, you will know when you go in.”
Then, Du Gang pushed the door open and exposed the scene inside to Ling Tao and Qu Wan.
Mr. Bai and another dozen men were kneeling on the ground with their hands and feet tied and their faces stained with blood. Everyone was in excruciating pain.
Ling Tao and Qu Wan gasped when they saw the scene. Qu Wan looked more terrified as her body trembled like a sieve. She stared at everything in disbelief.
Ling Tao’s brain went blank. He didn’t understand why Mr. Bai would appear there like that. He took a few quick steps towards Mr. Bai and his eyes were full of nervousness and concern. “Mr. Bai, what is wrong with you? Why are you all tied up?” Ling Tao screamed when he saw the wound on Mr. Bai’s shoulder that was still bleeding. “You are hurt! What happened? I have to send you to the hospital!”
Ling Tao was making an attempt to untie the ropes on Mr. Bai.
“Mr. Ling, I advise you not to untie the rope.” Du Gang said.
“Mr. Du, what is this? Why are you doing this to my lawyer?”
Du Gang pushed Qu Wan, who was still frozen at the door, into the prison cell and closed the door. Then he turned around and looked at Ling Tao. “You should let your lawyer and your wife tell you what is going on.”
