“Let’s go there,” Gu Zheng said.

Qiao Xi nodded her head and followed Gu Zheng inside. The more she walked, the heavier her heart became. Old Madam Gu’s courtyard was already remote enough, but Gu Zheng’s courtyard was still a long walk away. Moreover, the surroundings were becoming more and more desolate, not like a place

where people lived.

Although Gu Zheng was an illegitimate child, he was Gu Weiming’s only son when he returned to the Gu family. Even if he didn’t like this son of his, he shouldn’t have built Gu Zheng’s courtyard in such a remote place.

This should be the northernmost courtyard of the Gu family’s old residence. It seemed like no one had ever come to clean it. There were two large bare trees at the entrance, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves. There was no maple tree as expected.

Qiao Xi looked up and saw a small two-story building in front of her. Even though she wasn’t a professional architect, she could still see the oddness of this small building. The color of the building was gray. It looked just like an unfinished house.

This… was where Gu Zheng lived since he was young?

Every courtyard in the Gu family’s old residence was decorated luxuriously. In order to show off the Gu family’s prestige, even the servants’ quarters were exquisitely decorated. However, the place where Gu Zheng lived was so dilapidated.

Qiao Xi’s heart was filled with doubt as she followed Gu Zheng’s footsteps. She was just about to enter when she heard waves of knocking sounds coming from inside. They seemed to be doing renovation work?

This was Gu Zheng’s courtyard. Without his permission, who would come here to mess about?

Qiao Xi pushed open the door and walked in. She instantly frowned. “Who are you? What are you doing?!”

A few people were hammering on the windows. Some of the windows were already covered by thick wooden planks, leaving only two or three windows on the second floor.

Gu Zheng’s eyes were cold, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Qiao Xi was extremely furious. “How audacious of you?! Who allowed you to seal these windows?!”

One of the middle-aged men turned around and looked at Qiao Xi with a lofty gaze.

“What’s with the noise?! I’m doing this for my good nephew, Gu Zheng! Isn’t he sick? The doctor said that he can’t see the light due to his illness. Once I heard about this, I quickly brought people over to seal all the windows here so that he wouldn’t be uncomfortable staying here!

“President Gu, am I right?”

Gu Zheng’s lifeless eyes gradually focused and burst forth with raging fury.

However, the middle-aged man was still arrogant. “Tell me, you’ve been living here since you were young. Why did you go out? What if you hurt others when your illness relapses? You’d better stay here obediently. Don’t worry, I guarantee that not even a ray of light can penetrate this place!”

This was Gu Zheng’s uncle?

No, no, it was Huang Lilan’s brother?

Qiao Xi’s eyes darkened. Was this woman crazy? It seemed like Gu Weiming had not divorced her yet, so this woman was too free!

She suppressed the anger in her heart and rushed forward to s.n.a.t.c.h the hammer from one of them. “Let me tell you. If any of you dare to do anything today, this hammer in my hand will be used on you! Do you believe me?! I’ll be sure to teach you a lesson today!”

Huang Lilan’s younger brother, Huang Wei, got a fright. “It was Madam Gu who asked me to do this. You…”

“What? If you don’t believe me, then come and give it a try! You said that Gu Zheng is a lunatic, so you should know that if I could marry Gu Zheng, that means I’m not a good person either!”

Qiao Xi picked up the hammer and smashed it heavily on the ground, instantly creating a deep pit. She opened her mouth and threatened, “I don’t know if all of you will be able to endure a strike of this hammer!”

Everyone shuddered as they looked at the pit on the ground. They seemed to have imagined their own heads being smashed in and hurriedly fled.

Qiao Xi turned around and shouted loudly, “Tell Huang Lilan that today’s matter isn’t over!”

Huang Wei was frightened by Qiao X’s fierce gaze. He staggered and fell to the ground, but he didn’t hesitate. He got up and continued running.

Gu Zheng didn’t move an inch. His eyes were bloodshot, and the pain was destroying his rationality.

From the moment he entered the door, he could no longer control himself. This was not the first time he had seen such a scene. He had faced these kinds of things since his childhood. He had lived here since he was young, after all.

To him, darkness was pain.

However, those people knew that he would lose his sight in the dark. They even cut off the power source and nailed the windows. They were happy to see him struggle in the dark..
