Chapter 64: Mwah~

At that moment, everyone turned their heads towards the entrance.

There, a woman in a black dress, accompanied by over a dozen bodyguards, strode in. She had a voluptuous figure and striking looks, but exuded an air of ferocity from head to toe, as if she were a demoness ready to wield her blade.

Seeing Madame Zhang's arrival, Gu Mingzhu curled her lips and said lightly, "Everyone's here."

Before she could say anything more, another text message popped up on her phone, once again from Yan Jingcheng.

Gu Mingzhu wondered if this dog of a man could stop sending her messages and let her enjoy the show.

She glanced at the message and couldn't help but shiver.

[In ancient times, there was a cruel torture method called boiling torture, where a person would be immersed in a large cauldron or pot filled with boiling water or hot oil, and then slowly cooked using boiling or frying methods...]

Gu Mingzhu: "..."

The explanation was exceptionally detailed, but chilling between the lines.

Gu Mingzhu rubbed her temples with a headache and replied directly: [Mwah~]

Yan Jingcheng looked at the three short words on the screen and chuckled coldly.

Her skill in brushing him off was getting more and more impressive.

Before long, A Zhao entered and brought in a set of brand new clothes.

Yan Jingcheng tossed his phone onto the coffee table and leisurely put on the shirt.

As he adjusted the cuffs of his shirt, he said lightly, "Is everything taken care of?"

A Zhao promptly responded, "Zhang Zhihong has been arrested, caught red-handed."

As he fastened the last button of his shirt, Yan Jingcheng thought of Gu Mingzhu, the woman who said one thing but meant another. She should be pleased now, shouldn't she?

Meanwhile, the hall was bustling with activity.

Madame Zhang seemed to have come specifically to cause trouble. Accompanied by more than a dozen tall, black-clad bodyguards, she scanned the hall with cold eyes, murderous intent emanating from her. "Who is Gu Chaoyun? If you don't show yourself today, I'll clean this place up!"

As the head of the Gu family, Madame Gu frowned and stepped forward, her voice deep, "May I ask what brings you here, Madam?"

Madame Zhang looked her up and down and sneered, "So, you're Madame Gu?"

"Indeed."

Madame Zhang tilted her head slightly and said angrily, "I am Zhang Zhihong's wife!"

As soon as she said this, murmurs erupted in the room.

Without waiting for Madame Gu to speak, Madame Zhang's gaze fell on Gu Chaoyun beside her, and she said coldly, "You must be Gu Chaoyun, right?"

Gu Chaoyun instinctively recoiled but refused to back down, "Yes, I am. What do you want..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Madame Zhang strode forward and slapped her fiercely.

With a loud 'smack', Gu Chaoyun staggered backward.

Due to the force, she was somewhat unsteady.

Her cheeks burning, before she could regain her composure, Madame Zhang grabbed her collar and slapped her several times.

'Slap! Slap! Slap!' The crisp sounds reverberated in the silent hall.

Yang Huiru was the first to react and rushed forward, saying, "Why are you hitting her?"

But before she could reach them, she was tightly stopped by Madame Zhang's bodyguards.

Madame Zhang grabbed Gu Chaoyun's collar and continued to slap her, "You slut! You dare to seduce my husband at such a young age! If it weren't for you, my husband wouldn't have bought this batch of redwood!"

Gu Chaoyun was completely stunned; she had never experienced such a situation before.

When she finally regained her senses, she screamed, "How dare you hit me! I'll fight you!!"
