Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 551 The Republic-era Miss Who Admitted Her Mistake to Her Arranged Marriage (22)

The dark cell was filled with the stench of blood and decay.

The entire wall covered with torture instruments was terrifying; one dared not even breathe.

A row of lights was embedded in the gray stone wall, but the environment was still not very bright.

In this somber and gloomy prison cell, there was a carved pear wood chair that seemed completely out of place with its surroundings.

Shen Huocang sat in the chair.

He looked very comfortable, lounging casually in his chair.

The military-style jacket had two buttons undone, and the collar was open without any concern, giving it a rather dashing and unrestrained feel.

He held the gun in his hand, fiddling with it repeatedly.

This gun looks quite old, heavily worn, and it's not a new model.

But you can tell that it's very well maintained.

At the same time, a man was lying face down in front of him.

The man was like a lump of mud, with hardly any good spots on his clothes or exposed flesh.

He had clearly undergone a period of severe torture.

He had just fainted when a doctor-looking person injected him with something, and he would wake up soon.

The man was Wen Heliang.

He had been beaten so badly that he had no temper left.

They were so scared they could hardly believe their eyes and all they wanted to do was beg for mercy.

"...Young Marshal."

Unfortunately, Shen Huocang didn't even give him a chance to beg for mercy.

Once he woke up, a new round of torture was about to begin.

Shen Yucang used to dislike hearing people being tortured scream.

Too noisy.

He usually has people gag them.

But Wen Heliang did not.

At this moment, Wen Heliang's wailing clearly brought him more enjoyment.

His expression was calm, but the gloom in his eyes was not hidden at all.

He wanted to see Wen Heliang suffer greatly, only then could his violent heart find some solace.

Otherwise, he really won't be able to control himself.

At this point, Wen Heliang truly regretted it.

In fact, until he was tortured, he didn't think it was a big deal.

He thought that Mu Zhou's family connections had caused trouble, which was why he was arrested.

He even clamored to contact his father, still harboring feelings for that coward Shen Congjun.

How dare they attack him from behind? Shen Congjun will definitely suffer the consequences.

But soon, he knew he was finished.

He actually saw the young marshal in prison!

That young marshal, who was said to be ruthless and didn't even respect his own father.

If he had known earlier that Mu Zhou was the young marshal's woman, how could he have dared to harbor even the slightest covetousness towards her?

Now he only begs the young marshal to spare his life for his father's sake.

He also planned to pin the blame entirely on his sister and Shen Congjun.

But who knew that as soon as the person arrived, they immediately began to torture him without even asking him a question.

He wanted to beg for mercy, he wanted to explain himself, but he had no chance at all.

At this moment, Wen Heliang, who was on the verge of death, could only hope that his father would come to save him soon.

What he didn't know was that Shen Huocang was decisive and efficient in his work, and he would never leave any hidden dangers for himself.

While arresting the Wen siblings, they immediately used the incriminating evidence they had previously found against the Wen family to put Wen Heliang's father under surveillance as well.

The Wen family only has this one son; who knows what Wen's father might do in a desperate situation?

Shen Yuncang would never allow Mu Zhou to be in danger.

Then the only option is to nip the danger in the bud.

Shen Juncang was well aware that the Wen family had become much more arrogant since the old warlord got old.

But the time wasn't right, so he kept it to himself.

At this moment, Wen Heliang actually set his sights on Mu Zhou, and he didn't mind bringing forward the matter of cleaning up the Wen family.

It's just a bit more difficult.

Shen Huocang only ordered his men to stop when Wen Heliang was on his last breath.

"Give him a chance to breathe."

The fire in his heart had not been completely extinguished, so he naturally could not let Wen Heliang die easily.

Just then, the phone rang in the corner.

He was transferred in by the old warlord.

Shen Juncang knew without even answering that it must be for the Wen family.

Sure enough, when he answered, a furious voice came through the receiver.

"You unfilial son! You bypassed me and arrested a member of the Wen family! The Wen family has soldiers; do you think you can just arrest them like that?! You actually did this for a woman..."

"Two choices: either stay out of it and ask no questions, or help the Wen family and stand completely against me."

Shen Huocang casually interrupted the old governor.

There was a few seconds of silence during the call.

The old warlord was so angry he was panting heavily, but he also understood that his son was a man of his word and could not be commanded by him.

In the end, all he could do was snort coldly:

"I can't be bothered with you!"

He then hung up the phone.

Before long, another person rushed over:

"Young Marshal, Miss Mu has a fever."

*

While Mu Zhou was in a daze, she noticed that her body was burning hot, but she soon felt cold, so cold that she couldn't stop shivering.

Then someone covered her and warmed her with their skin.

She instinctively moved closer.

Someone held her hand and whispered something to her. She tried to open her eyes but couldn't.

Later, someone pinched her mouth, seemingly trying to make her open it.

But the bitter liquid made her instinctively resist it.

She kept her mouth shut, trying to avoid it.

Just when she thought the man had given up, a soft touch, both strange and familiar, suddenly came over her.

The next moment, bitterness filled the air once more.

Because of her resistance, every time the medicine was put into her mouth, her tongue would be hooked and entangled, forcing her to swallow.

She tried to push him away with her tongue, but she sensed that he would become even more brazen in his exploration.

In the end, she had no choice but to give up and let the other party do as they pleased.

She was forced to drink a lot of medicine.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally felt much better and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, I was in a completely unfamiliar environment.

She blinked blankly, and after a long while, she finally remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.

As I moved slightly, I suddenly realized that there was someone lying on their side next to me.

It was Shen Yucang, who was already asleep.

His brows were furrowed, his hair was slightly disheveled, and his usual laziness and casualness were nowhere to be seen.

Only sharp eyebrows and cold features.

Perhaps this is the real him.

Mu Zhou stared at him quietly, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The next instant, he opened his eyes without warning, his gaze filled with vigilance.

But after seeing Mu Zhou clearly, the cold and fierce look in his eyes vanished in an instant.

"Awake? Is anything bothering you?"

He got up and tucked the blanket around Mu Zhou again.

Seeing Mu Zhou shake his head, he went to pour a glass of water:

"Drink some water to moisten your skin."

She helped Mu Zhou sit up and patiently fed her water.

Mu Zhou also felt that her lips were dry and uncomfortable, so she did not refuse.

After finishing her drink, she didn't want to lie down anymore, so she leaned against the headboard.

Her gaze fell on Shen Yucang, and she watched quietly as he brought her a soft pillow and placed it behind her back.

She was much calmer now and no longer as distraught as she was before she lost consciousness.

Shen Yuncang also possessed a kind of calm and madness that came after everything had settled down.

He acted as if nothing had happened, not mentioning anything about what had happened before.

But Mu Zhou couldn't stand it:

“Shen Congjun…”

"Zhouzhou, just focus on getting better first, we can talk about other things later."
