With him walking ahead and her chasing behind, they quickly arrived at the safe house.
When Gu Tianye stepped into the courtyard and saw several corpses lying inside, his expression instantly turned grim.
Su Manman, who had originally wanted to tease him a little, immediately fell silent as well.
Dabao and Xiaobao climbed down from Gu Tianye.
The two of them hurried over to Su Manman and each hugged one of her legs.
Su Manman quickly took the three little brats into the house.
After closing the door, she leaned against the window and peeked outside.
But the moment she looked out, her gaze met Gu Tianye’s.
Su Manman gave an awkward, dry smile.
Then she immediately crouched down.
Patting her chest, she muttered to herself.
A handsome guy’s gaze is really unbearable.
It’s practically soul-stealing.
Deadly, really!
When she looked up again, the three little brats were staring straight at her.
Without hesitation, Su Manman slapped each of them on the head.
“What are you looking at?”
“Go find somewhere to sit.”
“Stop wandering around in front of me.”
The moment she finished speaking, Su Xiaoman, Dabao, and Xiaobao all looked at her with disappointed expressions.
They clearly hoped she would soften her heart.
But who was Su Manman? She didn’t fall for that trick.
“Hmph. If you keep staring at me, I’ll throw you outside.”
As soon as she said that, the three scattered in all directions.
“Tsk…” Su Manman rolled her eyes.
You think I can’t handle a few little brats?
In the courtyard, Wu Rongguang and the others walked in, their expressions serious.
“Boss…”
Gu Tianye glanced at Tao Gu, whose face had turned deathly pale.
“Take her away for interrogation.”
After saying that, he glanced toward Su Manman’s room.
Wu Rongguang nodded and dragged Tao Gu away like a dead dog into one of the rooms.
Soon, screams rang out.
“Ah—!”
The screams sounded even more terrifying in the darkness of the night.
The three little brats huddled in the corner trembled violently when they heard it.
They ran straight toward Su Manman and threw themselves at her.
This time, Su Manman didn’t chase them away.
Of course, it wasn’t because she felt sorry for them.
Su Manman was not that kind-hearted.
It was simply because the screams were too miserable.
Even she felt creeped out listening to them.
One adult and three children hugged tightly together.
“Ah—!”
Even with their ears covered, the screams kept coming.
The three little ones trembled in Su Manman’s arms like shaking toys.
Even Su Manman’s back was soaked with sweat.
She had never been a very patient person.
Damn it.
The screaming had gone on for so long and still hadn’t stopped.
She couldn’t take it anymore.
She stood up, opened the door, and walked straight toward the room where the screams were coming from.
Bang!
She kicked the door open.
Wu Rongguang’s whip froze in midair.
When he saw Su Manman at the door, his eyes darkened.
Originally, he thought Su Manman might not be connected to Tao Gu.
But now she couldn’t even withstand this test.
“What do you want?” Wu Rongguang asked coldly, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Su Manman ignored him.
She glanced at Tao Gu lying on the ground.
Calling her a blood-soaked person would not be an exaggeration.
After all, Su Manman had grown up under a modern system of values.
She really couldn’t bear to see prisoners tortured like this.
“She’s just a woman. Do you really have to be this brutal?”
Wu Rongguang sneered.
“What, feeling sorry for her? Are you her accomplice?”
Su Manman replied calmly,
“I think you’re the accomplice. You’re hitting her so hard just to avoid suspicion.”
Wu Rongguang snapped, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Su Manman shrugged.
“If you can talk nonsense, why can’t I?”
“You’re the one throwing accusations around.”
Wu Rongguang was nearly furious.
“The Black Armor Squad is interrogating a criminal. What business does a woman like you have interfering?”
“Your behavior only makes me suspect you’re her accomplice.”
Su Manman put her hands on her hips.
“Oh, so you remember I’m a woman?”
“Then listen to what you’ve been doing.”
“You’re interrogating a prisoner while letting me and several children hear these screams.”
“Are you interrogating someone or trying to scare us?”
“I came here just to tell you that your cruel methods have frightened me and the children.”
“The kids are so young. If they develop trauma, who’s responsible?”
Wu Rongguang’s mouth twitched.
Whether the kids were scared or not, I don’t know.
But you definitely don’t look scared.
Su Manman glanced at Gu Tianye, who had been sitting nearby without saying a word.
“If you keep doing this, I’ll have no choice but to sit on your lap.”
“When I’m scared, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do.”
Before Gu Tianye could react, she walked over and plopped directly onto his thigh.
Gu Tianye jumped up instantly and pushed her away, his face dark.
“What are you doing?”
Su Manman replied confidently,
“I’m scared.”
Gu Tianye clenched his teeth.
“Don’t forget—you’re a married woman.”
“How can you face your husband after doing something like that?”
Su Manman shrugged.
“You forced me into it.”
“You scared me so much I lost my rationality. I can’t control my behavior.”
“When the time comes, I’ll just tell my husband you did it on purpose.”
“You deliberately tried to make me throw myself at you.”
Wu Rongguang ground his teeth in frustration.
He had truly seen everything now.
This was the first time he had ever encountered such a shameless woman.
And she was very likely the boss’s wife.
“Lord Gu is wise and heroic. He won’t believe your one-sided story.”
“We interrogate criminals to complete our mission.”
Su Manman sneered.
“Don’t you just want her to talk?”
“You’ve beaten her for so long and she still hasn’t spoken.”
“That only proves your methods are useless.”
She shot Wu Rongguang a look of pure disdain.
“And you still dare claim you’re the Black Armor Army?”
“Are you imposters?”
“Or maybe the Black Armor Army’s reputation is just empty hype.”
Wu Rongguang’s veins bulged with anger.
How dare she question the Black Armor Army?
“You ignorant woman—what do you know?”
Su Manman snorted.
“What does knowing something have to do with being a woman?”
“You’re looking down on women.”
“Does your mother know you think like this?”
“Does she know her son is so unfilial?”
Wu Rongguang’s face turned red with anger.
Being accused of unfilial behavior in this era was extremely serious.
“I am very filial to my mother!”
As soon as he said it, he realized something was wrong.
Why was he even explaining that?
He almost wanted to slap himself.
This wasn’t about filial piety at all.
“Lady Su, you are deliberately interfering with the Black Armor Army’s work.”
“I now suspect that you and this Tao Gu are accomplices.”
Before he could finish, Su Manman cut him off.
“Oh, so because I questioned your ability, you’re going to label me a criminal and destroy me?”
“You’re a grown man, yet your mind is smaller than a chicken’s backside.”
“You used brutal torture on a woman and still failed to get what you wanted.”
“That doesn’t prove how capable you are.”
“It only proves your incompetence.”
“Heh. The Black Armor Army isn’t all that impressive.”
Wu Rongguang’s patience finally snapped under Su Manman’s scornful gaze.
“If you’re so capable—then you do it!”
