"Bitch." Gu Wu's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Chen Suxiang by the hair and yanked her up from the stool.
"I never said it! I never said it... She's lying... Sob... I didn't say it! Please, spare me! I'll never do it again..."
Chen Suxiang was scared out of her wits, begging for mercy with complete abandon. Gu Wu's gaze was terrifying, as if he were looking at a dead person. Even at his most furious, she had never seen him look so frightening. This version of Gu Wu made her whole body tremble with fear; she felt that in the next moment, he would truly kill her without a shred of mercy. She had resolved to defend her family's money, even if it meant taking a beating, but when forced to face Gu Wu's explosive rage directly, no amount of mental preparation was enough. All her courage had been scared right out of her.
