The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao)

Chapter 697 The Rescue

Gu Yuehong knew her grandson became hysterical due to the cruel tortures he suffered in the hands of

Chen Hao. So, thinking she was Chen Hao, Gu Feng proceeded to attack her when he woke up

suddenly. Oh Feng, look what you’ve become after getting tortured? Curse that bastard Chen Hao! I’ll

flay him alive and cut him into pieces myself to avenge you! Gu Yuehong thought to herself viciously;

an intense murderous look flashed through her eyes.

Nonetheless, since Gu Feng was back, it was delightful news for the Gu Family. During this period of

time, due to the appearance of Chen Hao around the city, the Nine Doors and the Gu Family had

mobilized all their resources to capture him. As such, Gu Yuehong could put everything aside and

focus all her attention in searching for Chen Hao by joining forces with the Nine Doors.

On the afternoon of the very same day, when Gu Feng was recovering from his injuries at the Gu

Family, the whole house seemed quiet and rather empty. So, Gu Feng got out of the bed in his room.

The underground cell where Xiaofei and Tie Cheng were locked up must be in one of the secret rooms

of the Gu Family. Even those servants who always serve Gu Feng and stay with him all the time don’t

know about the exact location of the secret room. It seems Gu Yuehong that old hag is very smart after

all for being able to hide those secret rooms from the servants completely. Gu Feng smiled helplessly

as a sly look flashed through his eyes.

In fact, although this man looked like Gu Feng, he was not Gu Feng himself—he was Chen Hao, who

disguised himself as Gu Feng.

This was all part of Chen Hao’s plan. Initially, he came up with this idea of using Gu Feng’s identity to

sneak into the Gu Family and mess up their plans. At the same time, he could use the opportunity to

learn about their family’s secrets. Even though some part of his plan had changed, he could still use Gu

Feng’s identity to rescue his friends easily.

Chen Hao had been looking for the entrance of the Gu Family’s underground cell since noon. He tried

asking the servants about it but none of them seemed to know where it was, much to Chen Hao’s

dismay.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in!” Chen Hao said.

The door was pushed open and a beautiful girl entered the room; she was none other than Gu Yuxiao.

“You can still get out of bed and walk around the room after suffering from such serious injuries?” Gu

Yuxiao glanced at Gu Feng coldly; apparently, they did not get along very well.

It’s Gu Yuxiao! Finally, someone who knows where the Gu Family’s underground cell is! Chen Hao

thought to himself happily.

He coughed and said, “Although Chen Hao is very scary and powerful, he didn’t manage to kill me. So,

of course I can still walk around. You got a problem with that?”

“Hmph! It’s unbelievable that the always arrogant Gu Feng can think so highly of others.” For some

unexplained reasons, Gu Yuxiao was pleased to hear Gu Feng praising Chen Hao.

“What brings you here?” Gu Feng asked dully.

“Nothing actually. I just want to ask you something. You saw Chen Hao, right? Is he really that

incredible just like you said? Did he undergo a huge change?” Gu Yuxiao wondered curiously.

“Of course he is! He is way scarier than you and I can possibly imagine!” Gu Feng reassured, as if

everything about Chen Hao was real.

“Really? Do you think grandmother will be able to catch him, considering his ability now?” Gu Yuxiao

asked anxiously.

“With some difficulty. He is no longer like his old self anymore. Even if that old hag…”

“Eh?”

“Uh, I mean even if grandmother cooperates with the King of Nine Doors, I guess it will still be difficult

to capture him!” Gu Feng quickly rephrased himself.

Although he had become closer with Gu Yuxiao, Chen Hao decided to maintain some distance away

from her for fear that she might know about his secret; he needed to be extremely cautious here to

keep his plan from going awry.

“Oh yeah, Gu Yuxiao, take me to the underground cell. There’s something I need to do!” Gu Feng said.

Gu Yuxiao frowned; she thought that Gu Feng sounded a bit strange today. However, since she was

busy thinking about Chen Hao and his changes, she overlooked certain details on Gu Feng. Still, she

asked, “Why do you want to go to the underground cell? Besides, why can’t you go there by yourself?”

“I was left with nothing except the Gu Family’s magic tool when I came back. So, you must take me NôvelDrama.Org © content.

there!” Gu Feng explained.

“Oh, I know why you want to go there. Grandmother captured Chen Hao’s friends and locked them

there. You want to torture them and take your anger out on them, right?” Gu Yuxiao suddenly realized

Gu Feng’s intention as she knew him very well.

“Why would I do that? I want to save them and take them to a safe place,” Gu Feng explained.

“Why?”

“Why? Because Chen Hao poisoned me with a diabolical Gu poison! If I don’t release them, I’ll

succumb to the poison and die! That’s why!” Gu Feng said with a fearful look on his face.

“Oh, I see. I wonder why you’ve changed so much after you came back this time. Okay, since only

grandmother and us have the key to the underground cell, I’ll take you there!” Gu Yuxiao agreed to help

when she heard it because she, too, wanted to release Chen Hao’s friends with any opportunity

available.

Gu Yuxiao led Gu Feng into the Gu Family’s underground cell; the cell looked crowded with lots of

prisoners locked inside.

Gu Yuxiao and Gu Feng stood at the entrance of the last cell. They could hear Bai Xiaofei’s curses

from there; he cursed and scolded with every single nasty word he knew, which made Gu Yuxiao feel

embarrassed. “Son of a b*tch! You bastard! Crazy old hag! I curse all of your family! You better let us

out!”

At that moment, the cell door opened. Bai Xiaofei and Tie Cheng were chained up and there was a

shiny blue bead hanging in front of their chests.

“What do you want? Just kill me if you have the guts! I was a fool for thinking that the Gu Family is so

great that I would want to have my training in your family! F*ck it!” Bai Xiaofei cursed, “They still provide

us with three meals a day when we were first locked up here. Then, it was gradually reduced to two

meals and a meal in the following days. Finally, we’re left without any meal for the last two days. Damn

you all! If you want to kill us, just do it! Chen Hao will avenge us!”

“Stop it! It’s my mistake. If I knew about that, I would’ve sent you guys something to eat. I forgot about it

because something unexpected happened for the past few days, so you guys are left without any meal.

I’m sorry that you guys have to starve for two days!” Although Gu Yuxiao disliked Bai Xiaofei’s curses,

she tried to explain the situation as she felt slightly sorry for them.

“That’s enough! Both of you stop yelling! We’ve come here today to release you! You can eat as much

as you like once you’re out of here. Leave this place immediately and never come back to Thai City

again!” Gu Feng said.

Gu Yuxiao looked at Bai Xiaofei and Tie Cheng while nodding her head seriously.

“Eh? Young Master Gu? Release them? You can’t do that!” A servant who was standing at the side

shook his head repeatedly.

Slap! Gu Feng raised his hand and slapped the servant across his face. “Damn it! Who’s the young

master here? You or me?”

The slap made the servant feel dizzy and he kneeled down immediately. “Of course it’s you, Young

Master Gu. I mean these two persons are very important and useful in capturing Chen Hao. That was

why Madam Gu put a special magic tool on them. Once the magic tool is removed from their bodies,

their internal organs will explode and they will die a gruesome death instantly!”

“Eh? Magic tool?” Chen Hao then carefully inspected the blue shiny thing hanging in front of their

chests. It turns out that this little thing has some kind of spells on it. What a wicked and cruel old hag!

“What kind of magic tool is this? How to remove it?” Gu Yuxiao asked immediately.

“I don’t know about that. I only know the key which can open and remove the magic tool is kept in

Madam Gu’s room. Her room is a forbidden place where we are not allowed to enter. And I don’t have

the key to her room either,” the servant said pitifully.

“Perhaps the key is there?” Gu Yuxiao said as an idea crossed her mind.

“Where?”

“I think I know where the key that can remove the magic tool is. I think I can find it in my grandmother's

room. But she ordered that no one can enter her room without her permission or else that person would

have to face the family’s disciplinary punishment. Do you still dare to go in there?” Gu Yuxiao warned.

“What’s there to be afraid of? If she wants to kill someone, let her kill Gu Feng then! Don’t worry about

that!”

Gu Yuxiao did not expect Chen Hao to be so smart that he could turn the insufferably arrogant Gu

Feng to behave like this within such a short period of time; her admiration for Chen Hao increased

considerably.

As they talked, they were getting ready to leave the cell and go into Gu Yuehong’s room. But when they

reached the entrance of the cell, Gu Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head around

slightly and blinked at Bai Xiaofei twice.

Bai Xiaofei started. Damn! The look… He seemed to realize something as a grin lifted the edge of his

lips. “Tie Cheng, maybe we can get out of here. Chen Hao is here!”
