"Ah, Guan Hongyu, you bastard, you're no human..."
Watching his two sons struggle and scream under the raging inferno, bound and seated on the ground, Tian Guofu was overcome with grief and cursed Guan Hongyu. He never imagined Guan Hongyu would be so ruthless as to burn his own sons to death.
However, Guan Hongyu remained indifferent, his fierce gaze fixed on Tian Guofu. He spoke coldly, "Years ago, you set fire and killed my parents. You should have expected this day to come!"
Suddenly, Tian Guofu's expression turned furious, his eyes fixed on Guan Hongyu, and he roared, "Yes, I set fire to the factory back then. If you want to blame someone, blame your father. He just wouldn't listen to me. If the factory had transformed back then, he would be a prominent figure in Hua Du City now."
"But your father was stubborn and refused to listen to me. He even wanted to expose my affairs, so I set fire to the factory..."
Hearing Tian Guofu finally admit to starting the fire that destroyed his parents' factory, Guan Hongyu's eyes reddened, his expression grim and menacing. His body trembled slightly, his emotions surging. Gritting his teeth, he said coldly, "Back then, you set fire and killed my parents over such a small matter..."
"No, I didn't..."
Tian Guofu shook his head and cried, "I didn't intend to burn your parents to death. I just wanted to teach them a lesson by burning the factory. I didn't expect them to be inside the factory... Ah!"
As a result, Guan Hongyu lunged forward and kicked Tian Guofu fiercely. He was sent flying like a rolling gourd, tumbling several times on the ground before collapsing, his head hitting the earth as he coughed violently.
Guan Hongyu then went back, grabbed Tian Guofu, and lifted him up. His expression was ferocious, a strange and chilling aura emanating from him. He said coldly, "Tian Guofu, I won't let you die so easily. I will make you taste the suffering of eighteen levels of hell, tormenting you slowly, making you wish you were dead!"
Facing Guan Hongyu's terrifying appearance, Tian Guofu trembled all over. His two sons, engulfed in flames in the distance, were no longer moving. The air was thick with the pungent smell of gasoline and scorched flesh, causing Tian Guofu to cry out in agony, "Guan Hongyu, let me go. I beg you, spare me, wu wu..."
Facing death, Tian Guofu was truly terrified. He never expected the bright young man who used to call him Uncle Tian to have become such a heartless demon after all these years.
"This is all because of you, so I will repay you tenfold!"
Guan Hongyu's eyes were ferocious as he gritted his teeth and spoke coldly. He then threw Tian Guofu to the ground, almost breaking his breath.
Next, Guan Hongyu turned back, picked up the unconscious Lin Huiping from the ground, and dragged her to a clear area. This made Tian Guofu cry out in panic, "What are you doing? If you want to kill, kill me. Don't kill my wife..."
Guan Hongyu ignored him. He pressed a point behind Lin Huiping's ear, then untied her ropes and stripped off all her clothes. Tian Guofu, lying nearby, roared in anger, "Guan Hongyu, you are not human... wu wu... I beg you, spare my wife..."
Then Guan Hongyu stood up and walked directly into a dark, small room within the abandoned factory...
A moment later, he emerged carrying a black wooden coffin. This terrified Tian Guofu, who watched with wide, fearful eyes as Guan Hongyu gently placed the black wooden coffin on the ground.
He then opened the four latches of the wooden coffin and lifted the ancient lid. Inside, a woman in a black long dress with long black hair, a pale, bloodless face, and closed eyes lay there!
This woman was very beautiful, her complexion deathly pale, but her lips were red. Her hands were crossed over her abdomen, and she showed no signs of movement. Clearly, this woman was dead!
Guan Hongyu, squatting before the wooden coffin, looked at the woman inside. His gaze instantly softened. He reached out and touched the woman's icy cold cheek, "Zhuoma, rest assured, I will bring you back to my side soon!"
With that, Guan Hongyu stood up, his expression returning to coldness. He picked up the naked Lin Huiping from the ground and placed her directly into the wooden coffin, lying beside the other woman. Then he picked up the coffin lid, closed it, and fastened the four latches.
"Guan Hongyu, what are you doing? Let my wife go..."
Seeing this, Tian Guofu anxiously shouted, not understanding why Guan Hongyu was putting his wife in a coffin.
Guan Hongyu glanced coldly at Tian Guofu. Seeing that the flames on his two sons were gradually diminishing, he picked up the gasoline can again and added more fuel to their charred bodies, causing them to continue burning and illuminating every corner of the abandoned factory...
"Ah, Guan Hongyu, you are not human! Let my wife go..."
Tian Guofu, struggling to roll over and crawl on the ground, watched as Guan Hongyu added fuel to his sons and saw his wife locked inside the black wooden coffin. At this moment, Tian Guofu was filled with grief and despair.
Suddenly, the black wooden coffin moved a few times. Tian Guofu's expression changed, and his eyes widened as he stared intently at the wooden coffin. It moved a few more times, and Guan Hongyu also turned back to watch quietly.
"Ah..."
The next second, the wooden coffin shook violently, accompanied by Lin Huiping's piercing scream from inside.
A strange and terrifying aura emanated from the gaps in the wooden coffin, and the surrounding air grew colder. The wooden coffin trembled continuously and violently, along with Lin Huiping's frightened screams...
This scene made Tian Guofu, lying on the ground, tremble all over, his eyes filled with terror, his scalp tingling with dread. He had no idea what was happening inside the wooden coffin...
At this moment, Wan Yunting had returned to his second brother's house. As it was past midnight, his second brother and sister-in-law were already asleep. Wan Yunting quietly went upstairs to his room, then took clothes to shower...
After showering, Wan Yunting sat on the bed, drying his hair while checking WeChat on his phone. He saw Fang Yanxi's message from four-thirty in the afternoon, stating she had boarded her flight to the United States. She likely hadn't arrived there yet.
A call came in. It was Guan Hongyu. Wan Yunting answered with a laugh, "Old Guan, are you done?"
Guan Hongyu, standing outside the factory and looking at the dark surroundings, saw the lights of the buildings in Hua Du City in the distance. "Yeah, just finished. You're still awake so late?"
Wan Yunting chuckled, "I just finished showering and was about to go to sleep. By the way, Yanxi asked me to tell you, regarding your investment matters, if you're free tomorrow, come find me. I'll help you sort it out."
Guan Hongyu smiled, "Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow at noon and we can have lunch."
"Alright, then that's settled. Get some rest. Good night."
"Good night..."
Afterward, they both hung up. Wan Yunting put down his phone, turned off the light, and lay down to sleep.
Meanwhile, Guan Hongyu put away his phone and looked back at the factory. The fires on Tian Yanghui and Tian Gaohan's bodies on the ground had not yet extinguished, though the people were already burnt beyond recognition.
The black wooden coffin had also stopped moving, and Lin Huiping's bright red blood flowed on the ground...
Tian Guofu, lying on the ground, could no longer withstand the immense shock and had fainted.
