The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife Chapter 132.1

Chapter 132.1

It was true that Gu Chenglin wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but he really didn’t dare kill people. He quickly asked the coachman to drive the carriage back to the academy. Then, together with Gu Chengfeng, he slipped into the woodshed through the backgate to have a look.
There were signs of struggle in the woodshed, and even a few drops of blood could be seen on the ground. The rope was also broken, seemingly not by a sharp weapon, but as though it had been ripped apart by force.
Gu Chenglin picked up the broken rope and said to Gu Chengfeng, "Second brother, look, that boy still has the strength to break the rope. I’m telling you he’s fine!"
Gu Chengfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's best not to be the cause of someone’s death. Whether he’s that Gu Yan or not, don't make trouble with others at will. You're no longer a child, stop being as willful as before. Otherwise, if eldest brother learns of it, you’ll get punished again!"
"I know, I know, I know. If you don't say anything, and I don't say anything either, who else would dare to tell eldest brother? Would he dare?" Gu Chenglin stared threateningly at the coachman.
The coachman quickly lowered his head and said, "This humble one dare not!"
Gu Chenglin smirked, "All right, second brother, let's go back home! Lest we let the cat out of the bag!"
Gu Chengfeng shook his head, sighing, and together with his younger brother, he got into the carriage back home.
They thought this matter was all over, but early the next morning, Gu Chenglin felt a nagging chill on the back of his head that he choked on cold water and fell down while walking.
He uttered in annoyance, "What bad luck!"
The two people entered the academy together.
Gu Chengfeng was a little more studious than Gu Chenglin, so he went to the teacher to hand in his homework first.
Gu Chenglin, who was very idle, was unable to sit still as though there were nails growing on his chair.
He went to the latrine.
Just as he arrived at the door of the latrine, one of his bad friends from yesterday came over. He had a wound on his face and a very frightened look in his eyes as he said, "Third, Third Young Master Gu, someone is looking for you."
"Who’s looking for me?" Gu Chenglin looked at him and asked, "Did you fight with someone?"
He gave Gu Chenglin a faint smile.
He so wished it was a fight.
But he could only let the other party shoved him to the ground.
Gu Chenglin, relying on the name of his mighty and outstanding eldest brother, had always walked sideways in all academies, and no one dared to provoke him. Naturally, he didn’t fear fighting with others.
The worst scenario was that he had to call a few more people to beat up the other party.
Gu Chenglin would really like to see who had so much arrogance as to ask him to see them in person.
The bad friend took Gu Chenglin to the woodshed where they locked up Gu Yan yesterday. Outside the woodshed, several figures had already been kneeling all over the ground, all of whom were Gu Chenglin’s bad friends, who were at the scene of the bullying yesterday.
He looked at all of them, whose heads resembled a bird’s nest. They were badly battered with a bloody nose and a swollen face, their mouths almost twisted, and they were shivering from head to toe.
Gu Chenglin's first reaction was to be a bit stupefied.
His second reaction was to be enraged. These were all his people. It didn’t matter if he beat them all up, but others beating them up was not giving him, Gu Chenglin, face!
"Who did it?" He shouted angrily.
Everyone looked hesitant to speak. They sympathetically glanced at him, quickly bowed their heads and dared not reply.
Although they usually called each other brothers who would go through fire and water together or something, that was on the premise of not having to worry about their lives. Now that their lives were on the line, Third Young Master Gu, goodluck to you!
Gu Chenglin smoothed out his sleeves and said defiantly, "Which coward is it who doesn't even have the guts to come out to see this young master?"
As soon as his voice fell, a hand stuck out of the woodshed, grabbed Gu Chenglin by the collar, and dragged him in unceremoniously!
Gu Chenglin didn't even have time to scream when he heard the door slam shut!
"Do you know who I am— Ugh—"
"You are— Ugh—"
"If you hit me again— Ah— I will— Ugh—"
"Ugh—"
"Ah—"
"Wu..."
Gu Chenglin's initial clamor gradually turned into a cry for mercy, but no matter how much he begged for mercy, Gu Jiao never let him off.
Did this guy spare Gu Yan when he was so helpless?
Gu Yan, who didn’t cause him any trouble, was harshly bullied by him, so how could someone like him who bullies others for no reason be let off?
Gu Chenglin was cruelly beaten up and screamed like a pig.
His group of bad friends outside were just listening but it was as if they could feel the pain themselves. They thought they were already miserable, but after witnessing Gu Chenglin's experience, they realized that the girl still dealt with them with a light hand.
"Why are you guys not calling people— Ahhh—"
Gu Chenglin yelped.
Call people?
Who would dare?
This girl could freaking blow their heads off with one punch!
Gu Jiao beat up Gu Chenglin to the point that his own father wouldn’t recognize him. Then she lifted his chin with a cold stick, forcing him to look straight into her cold eyes in the dark.
"Would you still dare to touch my little brother in the future?"
"What little brother?" Right now, Gu Chenglin's head simply felt like falling apart, okay? It took him a long time to realize who Gu Jiao was referring to. He then blew his top as he inquired, "You are... that guy's sister?!"
That sickly guy Gu Yan also had a sister.
So he really wasn’t mistaken this time?
That boy was indeed the vile spawn of his father and Yao shi!
So was this hateful girl!
"My brother almost died. You'd better experience it too." Gu Jiao pressed the stick in her hand against his throat.
Gu Chenglin became out of breath in an instant, "I... I never thought of... killing him..."
Gu Chenglin swore that he just wanted to teach Gu Yan a lesson. Who could have known he would almost die!
Gu Jiao didn’t care about this at all. All she knew was that her brother almost died, therefore, she would also make him visit the gate of hell.
……
Gu Chenglin didn't go back to the classroom till the end of class. Gu Chengfeng looked for him for a long time, but he couldn't find him. He then thought of the small woodshed where Gu Chenglin locked Gu Yan up. When he went there to take a look, sure enough, he found Gu Chenglin, whose upper body was bound tightly with his hands and arms behind his back and who was bruised all over.
"Third brother! Third brother!"
Gu Chenglin's dull eyes finally had a trace of focus. He spoke in Gu Chengfeng’s arms, "Second brother! Second brother..."
He was trembling so badly all over that it scared Gu Chengfeng, "What happened to you? Who dares to bully you?"
Their aunt was Imperial Concubine Shu, the Fifth Prince was their cousin, and they also had the Iron-faced Yama as their eldest brother who worked as a commandant in the military camp. In such a small place as Qinghe Academy, with their identity, no one would dare to bully them.
But everything in front of him was real.
Gu Chengfeng had never seen such a frightened Gu Chenglin before.
Gu Chenglin trembled for a long time before he found his voice again, "It's that bastard... He's really that Gu Yan! How dare he have someone beat me up! I'm going back to tell eldest brother! I’ll let eldest brother sort him out!"
Gu Chengfeng said doubtfully, "Does he have that courage? Anyway, after all, it was you who locked people up first. Even if you tell eldest brother about this, eldest brother may not stand up for you."
Gu Chenglin felt wronged as he said, "So what if I locked him up. What's wrong with that? He’s the son of that vixen! He deserves to be locked up! Besides, I only locked him up! I didn't hit him! But look at how his sister beat me up!"
Gu Chengfeng carefully looked at his younger brother. Indeed, he really looked miserable. He asked, "His sister? The girl who grew up in the countryside?"
