Chapter 851 - 404: Zhi Li’s plight! Victor is king, loser a bandit!
Why did Jian Liu betray Zhi Li?
It began several months ago.
At that time, Jian Liu was Zhi Li’s confidante and lover, and after Turing Duo wounded Zhi Li, she was detained in the dungeons of the Young Lord’s residence.
Zhi Li would certainly not allow other men to touch Gui Qinshao, so he had Jian Liu interrogate and torture Gui Qinshao, with strict orders not to damage her body.
Thus, Jian Liu used every means to torture Gui Qinshao.
She poured hot water into Gui Qinshao’s stomach, causing her to suffer terrible pain from her esophagus to her belly, yet no injuries could be seen on the surface.
She thrust silver needles mercilessly into the gaps under Gui Qinshao’s fingernails, a pain that reached the extreme, but still left no visible marks.
She tortured Gui Qinshao for a month, yet who would have known that such a delicate and pampered lady would endure without any compromise.
Of course, she had nothing substantial to confess, and the so-called compromise was nothing more than pleas like "I was wrong, please let me go," or "I’m willing to be Zhi Li’s woman."
But after her father, Gui Xingfu, betrayed her, her whole world collapsed, and she became utterly fearless and not even afraid of death, never once begging for mercy or compromising.
In the end, Zhi Li still couldn’t bear to wreck her beauty that bloomed like flowers and her body as delicate as jade, and so he ordered Jian Liu to stop tormenting her.
