Chapter 677 - Bait

Across from her through the screen, the door opened and the two guards who were frowning and trying their best to hold their breaths came out. They were holding a thin and dirty grey-haired man.

Instantly, the smelly hall was filled with another pungent smell. 

The visitors on Xiong Zhi's side frowned and took a look at the upcoming prisoner. Even the prisoners on the other side narrowed their eyes and moved away as much as they could from the newcomer.

The thin old man had very dirty and moldy clothes. His grey hair was covered with grime and were knotted together. If one looked closely, they were all knotted by unknown dark substances that had dried. His wrinkled yellow skin had some purple and green bruises. 

His state was the worst among the prisoners here.

The gloomy eyes under the dirty hair looked around. 

"Who is visiting me? Is it my daughter?" His hoarse voice cracked as they were filled with hope.

The guards who were holding him frowned even more. "Don't speak! You stink!"

He was forced to sit on the chair and the next moment, they left him be.

"Wuyue?" 

The filthy man looked at Xiong Zhi. His eyes were looking at a savior. 

However, when he finally saw a clean and familiar face that he did not expect to see, he froze.

His eyes then turned red.

"You evil bitch!" He stood up and bellowed. 

His pungent smell accompanied by his smelly breath almost made Xiong Zhi gag. But she kept her face cold. 

She was inwardly shocked at seeing this man in front of her. She did not recognize even a bit of Xiong De on this man who looked worse than a beggar.

Not any shadow of that prideful arrogant ruthless man who looked at people like they were tools for him to use could be seen at the present man before her.

But one thing was certain. She did not pity him at all.

Xiong Zhi moved a few inches away to relieve the smell coming out from him. She smiled coolly, but her eyes were cold. "It's been a long while, uncle."

Xiong De, whose hands were bound by handcuffs, banged his head on the screen. "You devil! What are you doing here?! Are you here to see my wretched state?!"

Xiong Zhi could not help but cover her nose. She looked disgustedly at Xiong De.

The smell was really gross. Totally a bioweapon.

Xiong De: !!!

Xiong De's eyes were filled with fury and shame. He knew his own situation right now. The look of disgust in Xiong Zhi's eyes made him feel more aggrieved. Manic fury and unwillingness filled him.

He banged his head more as he cursed. "You devil! You are the incarnate of the devil! You put me here and made me live worse than a beggar! You and your grandfather should just go to hell! You will die and everyone you cherish will die! You will suffer in the deepest pits of hell!" He cursed and made a scene in the area. 

The long period of suffering, terror, and loneliness had already extinguished any hint of dignity and calmness in him.

The guards on standby got irritated. They walked up to Xiong De threateningly with their batons.

"Stop making a fuss! If you don't want to receive visitors, we will end it here and no one will allow you to get another visitor anymore!"

Xiong De paled. 

No! 

He had just gone outside of that damned place twice in all the time he spent here in this prison. 

They could not take this little breather away from him! His daughter might visit him anytime and save him! He could not let them take this only privilege away!

"No! No! I am sorry! I'll behave! I'll behave!" 

The terror of this place was engraved in him. The officers here were the gods. They decided everything. Food, walks, work hours, and peace was in their hands. Even his life. 

Even though the person he hated the most was in front of him, he could not afford to act arrogant and let his days become as worse as his first month.

Well, who could not be? When she was in 'that' place, she did beg and feared the beast as if her life was in his hands, which was basically true.

Xiong De sat down on the chair again. He behaved more calmly this time, but his eyes as he looked at Xiong Zhi were still murderous.

Xiong Zhi returned his gaze with a faint sneer. "Why are you cursing me so much? Are you sure that I am the one who put you in here?"

Xiong De trembled with rage. But he remained seated and greeted his teeth. "Who else could it be? You wanted the heir position yourself. That's your plan all along, isn't it?!"

Xiong Zhi slightly tilted her head in amus.e.m.e.nt. A riled up person was easy to provoke. 

And easy to play with.

"Hmm? I am not sure. The heir position is supposed to be handed to me by grandfather originally anyways, whether you interfere or not. What brought you here in this prison, is the fact that you made a mistake by targeting a person way bigger than you are. Did you think that grandfather would let you go unscathed after learning that you were poisoning him?"

Xiong De did not answer. He knew that the bitch was taunting him. 

Xiong Zhi leaned in and ignored the pungent smell. "Why did you ever let your guard down and let someone use you? Now, do you see where it brought you?"

What was she saying? 

Someone used him?
