Jiang Mo sat in the empty room, cold and hungry. Although he had a phone, there was no signal. He couldn't make calls or send messages; it was as useless as scrap.
His wife and daughter were still waiting for him to come home for dinner, but he hadn't made it home and was instead stuck here, hungry and freezing.
Thinking about it, it was truly a dog's life!
So hungry.
Jiang Mo's stomach rumbled with hunger. He had nothing to eat on him and could only endure it for now.
When would his wife find him? If she didn't find him soon, he would starve to death.
At that moment, a rustling of footsteps sounded not far away.
"Boss, he hasn't eaten, he must be starving. Tonight, let him live or die on his own here. It would be good if he froze to death."
Gu Yun slapped the fatty on the head. "What if he starves to death? Give him the bread you've been hiding."
"Bread? That's my midnight snack for tonight. If I give it to him, what about me? What do I eat? Boss, you know I get hungry easily at night," the fatty said, troubled.
"You already ate dinner. Hurry up and give it to him," Gu Yun coldly ordered.
Although the fatty was unwilling, he was forced by the pressure to throw a bag of sandwich bread into the room through the gap. It landed right at Jiang Mo's feet.
"Eat it, eat it. Don't choke yourself to death."
Jiang Mo didn't pick it up. He raised his head and looked straight at Gu Yun through the window.
"Don't starve to death. Tomorrow is the main event. This is your dinner."
After saying that, Gu Yun left, and the people next to him looked puzzled.
When had their Third Master become so kind?
It was common for the people they captured to be missing limbs, let alone being given food. This person was actually sitting here alive and even getting to eat bread; it was simply a miracle.
"Brother Dao, what exactly is going on? Why is Third Master treating that person so specially?"
"Everyone is saying he's the boss's illegitimate son."
"Illegitimate son? My god, Third Master actually has an illegitimate son."
Gu Yun stopped and said in a cold voice, "Are you guys too full and have nothing better to do?"
"No, Boss, we'll go rest right away."
After the few people left, Jiang Mo's stomach rumbled again. He reached out and touched his empty belly, then his gaze fell on the bread at his feet.
He swallowed hard, reached out, slowly picked up the bag of bread from the ground, eagerly tore open the packaging, took a big bite, and leaned back against the wall in satisfaction.
Even though it was just ordinary sandwich bread, it tasted especially delicious.
When would his wife find him?
After finishing the bread, Jiang Mo leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

Wen Yan's people had already arrived at Jinhua Pavilion.
"President Wen, Jinhua Pavilion is already closed. It won't open until tomorrow morning. We can't see Third Master Gu today."
Wen Yan's face was ashen. "Okay, then we'll wait until tomorrow morning. Let's go back first."
"Yes."
Back at the house, Tangtang was still lying obediently on the sofa in the living room, waiting for her father to come home.
Hearing the footsteps outside, she ran out quickly on her little short legs.
Mommy must have brought Daddy back!
"Mommy, where's Daddy?"
(´つヮ⊂︎)
Wen Yan crouched down and said gently, "Daddy will be back tomorrow morning. Didn't Mommy tell you that Tangtang should go to sleep乖乖? Why aren't you asleep?"
"Daddy not coming back •́‸ก."
The little milky dumpling pouted her little mouth.
Wen Yan explained, "It's not that Daddy isn't coming back, it's that he can only come back tomorrow morning. Mommy promises you that you'll see Daddy tomorrow. Go to sleep乖乖."
"Let Auntie Li take you to sleep."
A young nanny next to her picked up Tangtang.
"Miss Tangtang, I'll take you to sleep first. You'll see Daddy tomorrow, okay?"
Tangtang nodded. "See Daddy tomorrow."
"Okay, go ahead."
Wen Yan watched Tangtang being carried to her room and turned to go to the study.
Bai Ling tried to dissuade her. "President Wen, you should rest for a while. We'll have to snatch someone from Third Master's hands tomorrow."
Wen Yan leaned back in her chair, pinched the space between her eyebrows, and wore a strong look of worry.
"I'm worried about Jiang Mo. Gu Yun is known for being ruthless. No one in his hands can last a night."
"He's too lawless. He actually dared to capture someone from the Wen family!"
"Only Grandpa can make him a little afraid."
Wen Yan picked up her phone and continued to call Jiang Mo.
There was still no signal.
Wen Yan didn't sleep well all night. She had a nightmare and woke up suddenly, her forehead covered in a dense layer of sweat.
Jiang Mo, please don't let anything happen...

Sunlight shone through the window into the cold room.
Before Jiang Mo opened his eyes, he heard someone calling him.
"Get up, get up, don't sleep, today is your death day. Our boss said that this morning we'll chop off an arm and a leg to add to the fun."
"Get up! Accept your judgment, you dared to offend our boss's grand-nephew!"
Jiang Mo was dragged out of the basement by several people before he was fully awake.
After the elevator went up, it was a luxurious room, gold and resplendent. It should be the basement of a large entertainment venue.
Jiang Mo silently memorized the surrounding furnishings.
Then, he was taken to a lavish private room.
"Boss, the person has been brought to you. You said yesterday that you wanted to chop off an arm and a leg, so I brought him to you early in the morning."
Gu Yun was eating breakfast. There were countless servants around him. Various delicacies were laid out on the long table, very extravagant.
"You brought someone here so early in the morning?"
The fatty nodded with a smile. "Yes, Boss, you said we should do it in the morning."
Gu Yun kicked the fatty in the butt, sending him sprawling face-first.
"Boss, you said that yourself. Why are you hitting me? Did I do something wrong?" The fatty was extremely aggrieved.
Third Master Gu gritted his teeth. "I'm eating breakfast, and you bring someone to my side to chop off arms and legs? Blood will be flowing everywhere in a moment. How can I eat?"
"Boss, how about you eat first, and I'll do it after you finish eating?"
The fatty scratched his head and retreated to the side first.
He turned his head and glared fiercely at Jiang Mo next to him.
It was all this guy's fault that he was scolded and beaten by Third Master!
Jiang Mo, on the other hand, stared intently at the breakfast on the table. He hadn't eaten dinner last night and had only eaten a small bread.
Gu Yun put down his chopsticks and asked, "You want to eat?"
"I do."
Jiang Mo nodded.
The fatty and buzz cut both laughed.
This dying prisoner actually wanted to eat Third Master's food. Dream on!
Some people even laughed out loud.
"He's really not afraid of death. He actually dares to sit and eat with Third Master Gu?"
"A newborn calf isn't afraid of a tiger. He does look quite young."
"This brother is too brave. Does he even know who the person in front of him is?"
Gu Yun suddenly said, "Come, sit down, eat together."
The scene immediately fell silent...
