After enduring some beatings, Gu Hai was exceptionally punctilious as he opened the corner of his swollen mouth to eat breakfast. Directly in front of him sat Gu Wei Ting, with his calm and unwavering eyes staring, practically drilling a hole into his face.

"You're not planning on staring at me like this for the rest of my life, right?"

Gu Wei Ting coldly replied, "A lifetime won't be possible. I won't be able to live until the day you die. But, as long as I'm still alive, don't even think that there's any hope for you to regain your freedom back."

Gu Hai stopped chewing and he stared at Gu Wei Ting with a dark and sinister gaze.

"Don't force me to abandon my own family."[1]

Those words did not seem to draw out any distressful emotion out of Gu Wei Ting. He simply stood up and tidied his clothes before he faced the mirror and insouciantly said, "If you can really kill me, I'd be proud of you."

"Crazy old man...." Gu Hai mumbled to himself.

Gu Wei Ting's hand halted around his collar before he shot Gu Hai a glance from the corner of his eye, "What did you just say?"

"I said......I'll work hard!" said Gu Hai, waving his fist mischievously.

Then, he glowered madly in his own head.

Gu Wei Ting finished straightening out his clothes, put his shoes on, and said a few more word to Gu Hai before leaving, "I'm going away on a business trip for a week."

Gu Hai's eyes brightened up.

Noticing the obvious change in the other person, Gu Wei Ting urgently added a few more words, "I'll send someone over to watch you."

The brilliant light in Gu Hai's eyes were mingled with a bit of anger and resentment, he retorted intrepidly, "Don't I have to go to school at least? I can't give up my studies because of this, right?"

"You don't have to worry about that. I've already requested a good teacher for you two. With a renowned teacher, who has a 100% positive feedback rate, giving you lessons face to face, it's a guarantee that you'll be able to study well."

The corner of Gu Hai's bruised lips that had turned purple drew back, "Are you being tricked by an educational facility somewhere?"

"If he can trick me, then he can also trick you back into the right path."

A contemptuous expression settled on Gu Hai's face.

Before taking his leave, Gu Wei Ting added a few more words, "I don't have much patience. I'll only give you one week. After a week, I'll come back to check your progress. If you're still defiant and refuse to come to your senses, then we'll have to think of some other methods to rid you of those thoughts."

After speaking, his strong and vigorous footsteps gradually disappeared.

Gu Hai quickly stood, grabbed the ointment that he had hidden for the entire night, and went straight to the door as fast as he can.

"Young Master Gu, this way please!"

Two special forces soldiers, each carrying a rifle, made a respectful gesture for Gu Hai to see him off.

"Thanks." Gu Hai maintained a calm demeanor, showing no signs of emotion.

Just as he was about to go out, two shadows suddenly flashed by with great speed, grabbed Gu Hai's arms, and forced him in another direction. Naturally, Gu Hai cannot tolerate this kind of coercion. He immediately threw his hand out and fought back. A tenacious brawl broke out between the three.
