Chapter 984: Bragging
In a corner that Shen Xi could not see, Gu Chen’s cold gaze glanced at Hu Long, who had just raised his head. Hu Long was so scared that he immediately lowered his head again.
Hu Long did not dare to look up. He only dared to look at Gu Chen’s shoes from the corner of his eye. Then, Gu Chen’s words of warning rang in his ears, "Think about your wife and child. There are some things that you can’t say out loud. You’d better keep them in your stomach. Otherwise, I don’t mind letting your wife and children become mute in your place."
Hu Long was so frightened that he was alert. When he raised his head and wanted to beg for mercy, Gu Chen had already turned around and left.
He didn’t dare to continue speaking, because, at this moment, Shen Xi was in the adjacent study room. If he were to beg for mercy, Shen Xi would know.
Hu Long could only watch as the door of the secret chamber closed again.
Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen who was walking towards her and asked thoughtfully, "Why didn’t you ask me? How did I break into your secret room? Just now, I heard from your housekeeper that you don’t allow ordinary people to enter the study room. However, not only did I come in privately, but I also knew about your secret room and saw the people in it. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell your secret?"
Gu Chen closed the door of the secret room and said indifferently, "If you didn’t break in, I would not let you know about my secret room. Because I don’t want you to get involved in my troubles. The more secrets you know, the faster you die. I don’t want you to die. But since you’ve already barged in, I can only accept it. After all, I can’t do anything to you. I can’t just lock you up and interrogate you, right?"
Shen Xi said proudly, "It sounds like I’ve received special treatment from you. Then it seems that I am very important, more important than your secret, right?"
