"Do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know how much Ou Jue likes you?! Trying to pull this act with me won’t work! He will definitely come himself. Hmph, once he does, he’s as good as dead!"He was determined to take this chance to teach that arrogant young master a serious lesson!
Suddenly, the door was violently kicked open!
Xiyan’s eyes trembled fiercely. She looked up—
That cold and noble young man entered, like a savior descending from the heavens.
Unbridled arrogance, exuding an air of supremacy over the world...
It was Ou Jue.
He really came.
All by himself...
As their gazes met, it felt like an eternity passed in an instant.
Xiyan’s breath caught, and for a moment, she felt dazed.
Her heart was a whirlwind of emotions.
Ou Jue’s jet-black gaze locked onto Xiyan’s bound figure, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Brother Mang slowly stood up with an easy-going demeanor. "Well, well, Young Master Ou is indeed a true man. As expected, you came all by yourself."
His expression darkening, Ou Jue raised his fist and strode forward imperiously, commanding, "Now that I’m here, let her go immediately!"
Brother Mang let out a hearty laugh. "Let her go? Oh no, that won’t do. The game has just begun!"
"What exactly do you want?" Ou Jue’s handsome face remained cold and detached. Even in such a dim and oppressive environment, he exuded a commanding presence that seemed to transcend everything. "If it’s money you want, just name a price, and I’ll make it happen!"
"Money? My family doesn’t lack for that! I just find you insufferable and thought I’d knock you down a peg or two," Brother Mang said, stroking his own chin while wearing an incredibly arrogant smile. "I’m really curious to see how the high-and-mighty Young Master Ou, who’s always above everyone else, looks when he grovels in front of me..."
Ou Jue’s gaze grew even colder, yet he remained unfazed, showing not the slightest sign of discomfort from the threats.
Sinking into the chair, Brother Mang’s plump body jiggled slightly. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Xiyan.
He looked at Xiyan, then shifted his eyes back to Ou Jue.
Stroking his chin again, he spoke with an air of amusement, "Young Master Ou must be quite fond of Miss Xia, huh? I just had an interesting idea. Why don’t I test exactly how much Young Master Ou cares for her?"
Xiyan clenched her small fists tightly and glared at him indignantly. "What the hell do you mean?"
"Well now," Brother Mang raised an eyebrow. "Your big brother here just wants to test this man’s true feelings for you, isn’t that a good thing?"
"The two of you, go beat him up!" With a wave of his large hand, Brother Mang pointed at Ou Jue, his face lit up as though anticipating a good show. "Beat him until he admits he doesn’t like Xia Xiyan anymore!"
Xiyan’s eyes widened sharply. "Are you insane?! Why would you do this?"
"You silly girl. I’m doing this to find out if this man’s love for you is genuine. Isn’t that nice?" Brother Mang said, arching a brow.
Ou Jue had always been proud.
The thought of seeing Ou Jue, who was usually so proud, brought to his knees by a brutal beating—it was exhilarating to imagine!
It would crush both his body and spirit!
Hahaha...
As Brother Mang indulged in his triumph, he noticed his henchmen standing still and glared at them. "What are you standing there for? Get to it! Beat him up! Beat him until he admits he doesn’t like this woman anymore! He won’t dare fight back. The moment he retaliates, I’ll shove this knife right into this little beauty!"
As he spoke, a gleaming, sharp knife was pressed against Xiyan’s delicate face...
