Chu Weixian was the first to descend into madness, clutching his head and screaming incessantly.
Chu Yu was also on the verge of losing his mind, begging Jin Lan, "Uncle, I beg you, I know I was wrong too, please let me go! Please, please."
But their pleas fell on deaf ears. Jin Lan continued to torment the trio's bodies and minds in increasingly inventive ways, pushing them to the brink of collapse.
Chu Weixian roared at Chu Yu, "Chu Yu, you bastard, aren't you going to admit you once tried to kill Jin Lan? If you don't admit it, he won't let us go! I'm done playing this game with you, hurry up and confess all the ways you tried to kill him!"
Chu Weixian realized that Jin Lan was tormenting them like this precisely to force them to confess all their wrongdoings. If even one thing was left unsaid, he would not stop this inhuman torture of the three of them.
"I haven't done anything, I have nothing to say. It's all your bad deeds, you admit it yourself!" Chu Yu screamed in despair.
"You still say you've done nothing? I know you hired people to kill your uncle, just confess! I don't want to be dragged down by you any longer!" Chu Weixian cried and shouted hysterically.
"Shut up, you animal! Don't hurt my son, my son hasn't done anything! You're worse than an animal, you don't even spare your own son. For your own sake, you'd betray anyone! You're the one who deserves to die the most!" The woman suddenly lunged at Chu Weixian like a madwoman. The iron cages were now very close together, and she grabbed Chu Weixian by the collar, scratching him furiously, wishing she could scratch him to death, this man who had ruined her life.
Now even her own son refused to acknowledge her.
The grand promises he had painted for her then were now matched by the pain of the knives she endured. He had said their family of three would inherit all of Jin Lan's wealth, that their son would be a true young master of a wealthy family. She had been greedy, truly believing his words. But he hadn't considered that the young masters of wealthy families were not to be trifled with. Did he really think everyone was a fool?
She now hated this man with all her being. If she could, she would stab him to death with a knife right now.
Chu Weixian's skin was crisscrossed with bloody scratches from her nails, and he grimaced in pain. He too had gone mad, grabbing the woman's hair and yanking it fiercely. Two chunks of hair were ripped out, scalp and all. The two then began to fight like wild beasts, biting and tearing at each other, blood flying.
Chu Yu was terrified. He retreated incessantly to the very edge of the cage, his eyes wide open, watching the two of them gnawing at each other like the most primal of beasts. His heart pounded with fear. He felt that the two in front of him were no longer human, but had truly transformed into the most primal, most terrifying beasts. He cried out in fear, especially when he saw that the woman had bitten off half of Chu Weixian's ear and seemingly eaten it.
Chu Yu finally couldn't bear it any longer and shrieked, incessantly listing the evil deeds he had committed against Jin Lan over the years out of jealousy and hatred. He confessed each one clearly.
It turned out he had hired people to kill Jin Lan more than once. There had been two car accidents and one attempt with a hired killer, but Jin Lan had managed to evade them each time. Fearing that Jin Lan would find out, he had not dared to act for a long time. He was currently preparing for a fourth attempt, this time meticulously planned. If he had succeeded, Jin Lan might not have been so lucky to escape again.
