Jin Lan was not angry. He simply watched the family of three with indifference. He had no desire to deal with these three scumbags for now. He wanted to wear down their resolve, make them blame each other, and turn them into a pack of wolves fighting amongst themselves.
Chu Weixian continued to play the role of a heartbroken lover. He was unaware that his scheme to murder the Jin family parents had been exposed. But no matter what he said, no one paid him any mind. In the end, his voice was hoarse, and he slumped to the ground in despair, regretting not taking action to eliminate Jin Lan sooner. Now he had become a lamb to the slaughter. He was truly filled with regret.
His idea of a slow-acting poison was overthinking. Accidents happened all the time in this world. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary for the Jin siblings to die accidentally. What if someone suspected him? As long as he was clean and left no trace, what could mere suspicion do?
Now, with Jin Lan's proactive offensive, he was on the defensive. He might die here. He was unwilling. He had endured hardship and meticulously planned for so long, only to be destined to be killed?
Chu Weixian forced himself to calm down. He was unwilling to accept this fate. He was sure he could find a way to save himself. Even if he had to beg Jin Lan on his knees, he had to get Jin Lan to spare him.
For the next two days, no one paid any attention to the three of them. In the dark, damp environment, with no food or water, the three of them had never suffered such hardship. They were on the verge of collapse. The woman cried incessantly, cursing everyone out of sheer misery.
Chu Weixian was initially unmoved, but as time went on, he became increasingly irritated. He yelled at the woman, "Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry! I'm not dead yet, what are you crying for? Shut up, you slut!"
"Chu Weixian, you heartless wretch! I followed you since I was a teenager and bore you a son. I've silently accompanied you, and in the end, I've gained nothing! You're a fool! You cheapskate, why are you yelling at me? Your family was even poorer than mine!" The woman was almost driven mad. The cold and hunger made her speak without restraint, and she began to belittle Chu Weixian.
"Slut, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Chu Weixian had been insecure since childhood due to his family's poverty. But ever since he married Jin Qing, no one dared to look down on him. Even if they did behind his back, they were outwardly respectful. What right did this slut have to look down on him?
"You want to kill me? You cheapskate! When you went to university, it was I who sponsored you! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gone to university, and you wouldn't have married a wealthy beauty. You're dreaming! You're a complete phoenix man! Hmph, what a joke!" The woman became more emboldened as she cursed.
Chu Weixian was about to go mad with anger. He gripped the bars of the cage with all his might, making the cage clang loudly.
Chu Yu, who had been silent beside them, felt utterly powerless. See, these were his birth parents: vulgar, poor, base, shameless, and despicable! So what kind of offspring could he be?
"All of you, shut the hell up! Are you trying to make me realize how low you are? Are you trying to make me understand how wretched my origins are?" Chu Yu roared, his patience worn thin.
"Chu Yu, you little brat, you're even worse. You inherited my bad qualities, and I gave you the life of a rich young master since you were little. Yet you dare to despise me! You truly are my son, hahaha, inheriting the baseness in my genes!" Chu Weixian cursed his son viciously.
