Black Lotus

Not even knowing where he got the courage from, Wen Nianan insisted on refusing to sign the papers.

“Ha! Since you are so brave. I have an idea.”

A weird smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Gu Yansheng’s mouth. He grabbed Wen Niannan’s hair and walked toward the basement.

Seeing where they were going, Wen Niannan suddenly understood what Gu Yansheng was about to do, and struggled fiercely.

“What are you doing? I don’t want to… let me go! I don’t want to go there, Aunt Lan… Uncle Xu help me…”

Wen Niannan firmly grasped on the handrail of the stairs and tried to break free, but his struggles were useless.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Uncle Xu hurried to the phone and dialed a number.

“Who do you want to call? Put it down!” Gu Yansheng shouted at Uncle Xu coldly. Uncle Xu quickly put down the phone in his hand in fright.

Gu Yansheng dragged Wen Niannan to the door of the basement. In despair, Wen Niannan looked at the dark and terrible staircase leading downwards.

“I don’t want to go in, I’m scared. Please… don’t… I’m begging you… Yansheng…” Wen Niannan was trembling and struggling.

Gu Yansheng bent down to look at the man in tears.

“Sorry, it’s too late.”

He threw the person in and closed the door. No matter how much Wen Niannan was banging and screaming behind the door, Gu Yansheng remained indifferent.

“Open the door… let me out… help me… I don’t want to be here. I’m scared…” Wen Niannan started beating the door hard.

“Gu Yansheng! Gu Yansheng, I hate you! I hate you so much! You deserve to die! I regret saving you in the first place! I hate you!”

Gu Yansheng stood outside the door and remained silent. After a long time, the sound from the basement gradually disappeared. He stepped forward and said, “Do you know what you have done wrong? If you promise to sign the papers, I’ll let you out.”

After a long time, Gu Yansheng thought that Wen Niannan was still not convinced, so he said sarcastically, “Well then, I’ll just let you stay in here for the night and think about what you have done.”

Still, no response. Gu Yansheng was a little puzzled. He walked over to open the door to check, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps from outside.

Looking back, he found that Zhou Yuanfeng suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He was just about to speak when Zhou Yuanfeng rushed forward and punched him in the face.

Covering his face in pain, Gu Yansheng looked at the person that punched him, “You just hit me?”

“I not only want to punch you. I’m going to fucking wake you up!” After saying that, Zhou Yuanfeng punched him again.

Realizing that Gu Yansheng and Zhou Yuanfeng started to fight, Uncle Xu hurried over and shouted, “Both of you, that’s enough! Master Yuanfeng, you’re not here to start a fight! Check on Wen Nianan to see if he’s okay.”

Only then did Zhou Yuanfeng remember his purpose of being here. He let go of Gu Yansheng’s collar and hurried to the basement door.

“Niannan, Niannan. You can come out now.” No one responded in the dark basement. Gu Yansheng looked down, but couldn’t see anything.

“Uncle Xu, open the light, quick.”

“Hmm… The light broke in the basement, and I haven’t got time to fix it yet. I’ll go get a flashlight.”

After a while, Uncle Xu returned with a few flashlights and handed one to Zhou Yuanfeng. Just as he was about to go down, Gu Yansheng stopped him and took the flashlight from his hand.
