Gu Chen didnāt bother to spare a glance and simply closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Lin increased the force on his foot.
Gu Qing, on the other hand, just smiled and said, āCousin, a toast ignored demands a penalty sip. Donāt blame us for being ruthless. Since your hands arenāt meant for signing, letās put them to other uses.ā
With a wave of Gu Qingās hand, a box of needles was brought in. Several people grabbed Gu Chenās fingers, mercilessly thrusting the sharp needle tips into the nail beds.
Even the resolute Gu Chen couldnāt help but groan in pain. In an instant, sweat beads formed on his forehead, and his naturally rosy lips turned ashen, devoid of any color.
When Shen Xi entered with her group, she witnessed the scene.
She never imagined that Gu Chen, always appearing immaculate and exquisite in her eyes, would be in such a miserable stateātrampled under someoneās foot, his head pressed into the ground, with blood dripping from his fingers as needles pierced them. š§š»āÆšš¤š®š·š·š°š£āÆš.š¬šøš
Upon Shen Xiās arrival, Gu Qing immediately gathered his men to confront her. Even those conducting the torture instinctively paused.
āMiss Shen Xi, this is the Gu family. By bringing people here, I can report to the police that youāre trespassing on a private residence!ā Gu Qing coldly questioned, blocking Shen Xiās way.
Shen Xi chuckled in anger, āSure! Go ahead and report to the police! Iād like to see if the police will arrest you first or me!ā
While Gu Lin continued to step on Gu Chenās face, his gaze shifted to Shen Xi. It was because of her that he had been dealt with by Gu Chen before.
Even though he wanted to settle the score with Shen Xi now, his attention turned to the crowd behind her and the various weapons clearly brought for this occasion. Gu Lin decided it was best not to provoke them.
āMiss Shen Xi, we are dealing with our internal affairs. Please make your way out!ā Gu Qing politely requested.
āI donāt care about your family affairs, but if you beat this person to death, who will I collect my debt from?ā Shen Xi crossed her arms, looking coldly at Gu Qing.
Gu Lin, somewhat impatient, asked, āHow much does Gu Chen owe you? Weāll settle it for him!ā
Shen Xi looked at Gu Lin, āAre you sure?ā
Gu Lin confidently tilted his head, āOf course.ā
āWell then, pay up now! Gu Chen owes me a life. Come on, Iāve never seen someone kill themselves. It must be interesting!ā Shen Xi gazed at Gu Lin with curiosity, seemingly eager to witness how he would meet his end.
Gu Lin was instantly infuriated and embarrassed, āShen Xi, this is the Gu family. Donāt think you can act so arrogantly just because you have the backing of the Shen and Lu families.ā
Shen Xi scoffed and sneered, āDebts must be repaid, and life for a life is only fair. If you canāt pay, hand him over, or Iāll deal with both of you.ā
Gu Qing couldnāt possibly hand over Gu Chen, especially when the share transfer contract hadnāt been signed yet.
As for Shen Xiās claim that Gu Chen owed her a life, the Gu family brothers considered it baseless, thinking she was just here to save Gu Chen.
Seeing the Gu family brothersā lack of response, Shen Xi said, āIt seems Iāll have to resort to force.ā
With that, Shen Xi took a step back, and Shen Luan and Lu Fei, along with their men, aggressively approached the area where Gu Chen was.
The Gu family brothers couldnāt hand over Gu Chen at this point. With one command, the two groups clashed instantly.
Gu Qing glared at Qian Tong and his group, who remained indifferent on the sidelines, and angrily shouted, āQian Tong, what are you still waiting for? Join in!ā
After some hesitation, Qian Tong reluctantly joined the team attacking Shen Xi.
But even with Qian Tongās participation, Gu Qingās side continued to lose ground. Shen Xi had come prepared with skilled fighters, outnumbering them.
Seeing his men continuously falling, Gu Lin grabbed Gu Chenās collar and shouted, āShen Xi, order your people to stop, or Iāll kill Gu Chen!ā
Shen Xi calmly responded, āGo ahead, kill him! I bear a personal grievance against Gu Chen anyway!ā
Gu Lin sized up Shen Xi with a skeptical gaze. He picked up a blade and ruthlessly slashed Gu Chenās arm. Fresh blood oozed from the wound.
However, Shen Xi remained unfazed, showing no concern for Gu Chenās life.
