Black Lotus - Chap 55

“Give me one, I’m going too.”

The two men went in but they didn’t see anyone near the stairs. After walking down the stairs, Gu Yansheng caught glanced a glimpse of clothes at the corner. He was astonished, he approached the corner to investigate, that’s when he saw Wen Niannan, collapsed on the ground.

Zhou Yuanfeng also noticed someone on the corner, he squatted down to check on him, he was relieved to see that he passed out because of the shock.

He looked up to Gu Yansheng who was stupefied like he was in a trance, he said: “Can you just come here to carry him, why are you standing there looking like a fool?”

“Carry him? Why me?”

“Do you want me to do it? I’m not going to carry him. If you get a video and a photo of me and Niannan like that saying that we’re something else, are you also going to hit me?”

Listening to his friend’s words, Gu Yansheng knew exactly what he was talking about, the photos of Tang Shuo and Wen Niannan that were circulating on the internet, he glared at Zhou Yuanfeng, going quickly to pick up the man on the ground.

The person in his arms was unexpectedly light. Gu Yansheng was somewhat surprised that Wen Niannan wasn’t that heavy in his arms. That was unusual because the dim sum and the other dishes prepared by Aunt Lan were usually eaten by him, she also cared to cook very carefully each one of the meals, but it was surprising how weak was his body.

“Gu Yansheng, what are you afraid of? Hurry up and take him out.”

Seeing that he was still carrying the man, Zhou Yuanfeng rushed him.

Carrying Wen Niannan, he slowly got out of the basement, Uncle Xu and Aunt Lan were at the door looking inside worried, they were astonished when they saw that he was being carried by Gu Yansheng.

“Jesus Christ! Sir, what happened? I’ll call 120.” Scared by the pale and lifeless face of the person in his arms, Aunt Lan tried to call the emergency number, but she was stopped.

“No, he won’t die. He was just frightened, that’s why he fainted. I will take him to the room to rest.”

Gu Yansheng made those remarks coldly, he then walked upstairs.

Uncle Xu looked at the back of Gu Yansheng with concern, he said: “Master Yuan Feng, Sir?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll go up and take a look. Mrs. Lu will be back the day after tomorrow, I already told her everything, leave the rest to me.” Zhou Yuanfeng sighed, why that guy couldn’t get along with Niannan…

Gu Yansheng kicked the door opening it. Putting Wen Niannan on the bed, he looked at the unconscious person on the bed, there was a storm of emotions inside him.

“Can’t you at least cover him with a blanket?” Zhou Yuanfeng entered the room with nothing but a cold expression.

He grabbed a blanket, putting it over covering Wen Niannan’s body when he suddenly saw the wound and bloodstains on his forehead.

Zhou Yuanfeng’s fists stiffened, he turned around furious yelling at him: “You hit him again? What the hell are you, a sadist? He’s that weak and you’re still doing that to him? If you want him to die, just say it!”

“Wen Niannan made a fucking cuckold of me, did you see it? He was photographed, and he admitted that it was him in all the photos, I didn’t anything bad to him. I was even angrier before.”

“Niannan isn’t that kind of person, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. But no matter how angry you were, you can’t lock him in the basement. You knew that Niannan’s worse fear was the dark, but you used that against him, just to terrorize him. Don’t you think that cruel even for you?”

Gu Yansheng stood aside with a gloomy face, angry, he couldn’t believe that even Zhou Yuanfeng helped Wen Niannan in some way.

“Zhou Yuanfeng! Don’t forget that you’re working in the Gu Group. I’m your boss. Watch your tone!”

Zhou Yuanfeng stepped forward stared straight at him, with a defiant tone he said: “What? Gu Yansheng, are you trying to give yourself little airs of a President? I already called your mother on my way here. Mrs. Lu will come back the day after tomorrow. I’m not going to take care of the thing you do anymore. He’ll be tortured to death if this continues, please ask for blessings for your own good.”
