Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

Li Jiale had always felt that the relationship between Si Yuan and Bo Yusen was ambiguous.

Others might not be able to see it, but he had a keen eye.

He was initially somewhat wary, until—

I overheard my father saying that Bo Qinghe was killed by the Si family.

He wanted to ask more questions, but his father remained tight-lipped about what happened back then.

But it doesn't matter. As long as the Bo family and the Si family are enemies, Bo Yusen will never fall for Si Yuan.

Only then did he dare to attack Si Yuan.

"There is a blood feud between you."

Si Yuan thought Li Jiale had gone mad. If she wanted to make her despair, she didn't need to use such a reason.

She knew that Bo Yusen's father, Bo Qinghe, had died in a car accident fifteen years ago.

But what does that have to do with the Si family?

If the Bo family and the Si family really had a feud, how could the Bo family not have retaliated against the Si family all these years?

Furthermore, when she was drugged, Bo Yusen recognized her as a member of the Si family, so it was impossible for him to save her.

Li Jiale gently tucked a stray strand of hair from Si Yuan's forehead behind her ear.

"Baby, even if you and Bo Yusen had something going on before, it was just that he was after your body and just playing around. Do you really think he treats you like a treasure?"

Si Yuan smiled slightly, her face showing no fear or panic, only calmness.

"Do you remember when I was surrounded and they wanted to kick me out of Yunjie University during the anniversary celebration? Who saved me?"

Li Jiale's expression froze. Upon careful thought, he realized that it was Jiang Lai who had wanted to kick Si Yuan out of Yunjie University.

Jiang Lai is Bo Yusen's nephew, but Bo Yusen helped Si Yuan that day.

Is it...

Was the intelligence incorrect?

Impossible. When my father brought this up, his expression was very serious; it didn't seem like hearsay.

"Hmph, so what? You'd risk your life for such a small favor? That's not the Si Yuan I know."

Si Yuan's palms were damp with sweat. Logically speaking, Xing Zhu had already called the police, so why hadn't the police come yet?

She deliberately slowed her breathing, using even breaths to suppress the surging unease.

"Small favors? Would the Bo Yusen you know ever show kindness to an enemy?"

Si Yuan looked at Li Jiale with a normal expression, and even had a faint smile on her lips. Her voice was so steady that there was no sign of anything unusual.

In their contest, it was clear that Li Jiale was no match for Si Yuan.

Sensing his own wavering, Li Jiale didn't bother listening to Si Yuan's nonsense any longer and picked up a stun gun.

He plugged in the stun gun and shocked Si Yuan's calf.

The electric current suddenly shot up my calf, exploding with a sharp, burning pain, and then surged wildly through my nerves to every part of my body.

Si Yuan's body stiffened abruptly, her pupils contracted sharply, and a broken groan escaped her throat, but she couldn't utter a complete sound.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Si Yuan convulsing and trembling, Li Jiale laughed wildly with excitement.

I feel my blood boiling and burning inside me. It really is Si Yuan…

Her broken appearance is absolutely maddening.

"Honey, do you know how many times I've been dreaming about this moment?"

When Li Jiale first met Si Yuan, he wanted to see what she would look like after being abused; he thought she would be incredibly beautiful.

He'd slept with so many women, and each one, when violated, either cried and begged for mercy or collapsed and fainted.

Si Yuan's face was pale, but her eyes were stubborn. She was like a vase that would break at the slightest touch, yet she was so resilient and unwilling to admit defeat.

Si Yuan glared coldly at Li Jiale, "Li Jiale, you will pay a price for everything you've done today that's worse than losing your life."

"Ha ha……"

Li Jiale laughed uncontrollably, "How come even now you're still fantasizing about escaping from me?"

He went berserk, randomly poking at Si Yuan's arms, lower abdomen, and even back.

"ah--"

Si Yuan couldn't bear the pain and screamed in agony.

Consciousness nearly vanished amidst the excruciating pain, and limbs felt as if all strength had been drained from them, collapsing limply.

Li Jiale caught Si Yuan's body. "Baby, it won't be fun if you faint. Now, let's move on to the next topic. I'll make you feel like you're in heaven—"

Li Jiale reached out and tore at Si Yuan's clothes.

"Bang—"

The loud crash of the door shattering echoed throughout the room.

Amidst flying sawdust, the tall figure of a man, accompanied by a chilling aura, stormed in.

His gaze swept across the room, instantly settling on the curled-up woman—

Her hands and feet were handcuffed, her clothes were disheveled, her exposed skin was covered with bruises, her face was as pale as paper, and even her breathing was slightly trembling.

Whips, stun guns, pliers—

In that instant, the warmth in the man's eyes suddenly froze, followed by a raging inferno.

Li Jiale stared in disbelief at Bo Yusen, who had barged in, his pupils suddenly dilating.

Bo Yusen!

Damn it, Si Yuan was right, he really came.

As Bo Yusen approached, his footsteps on the floor seemed to pound on Li Jiale's heart, causing him immense pain and fear.

"Ninth... Ninth Master..."

In the candlelight, Bo Yusen's face resembled that of an Asura from hell, his eyes filled with a murderous intent to destroy everything.

"Don't move—"

The police rushed in after Bo Yusen. When Shen Xingzhu saw Si Yuan, she immediately burst into tears, "A Yuan—"

She tried to rush forward, but Li Jiale suddenly picked up a knife from the table and pointed it at Si Yuan's neck. "Don't move, or I'll kill her."

Si Yuan's unfocused gaze gradually focused and landed on Bo Yusen.

He just used Bo Yusen to scare Li Jiale in order to buy time.

Unexpectedly, he actually came.

The police arrived, and Li Jiale couldn't escape.

Bo Yusen stopped in his tracks, his gaze as cold as a knife as he stared at Li Jiale. "Release Si Yuan, and you'll have a chance to live."

"I can let her go, but you must let me go first."

With the hostage in hand, the police dared not make any rash moves.

Bo Yusen, however, did not move an inch.

Li Jiale is very afraid of Bo Yusen, even though the outside world's evaluation of Bo Yusen is generally positive.

But this person gave him a terrifying feeling; compared to him, Bo Yusen was more like a calm madman.

Cold sweat poured out of Li Jiale's forehead and back, instantly soaking his clothes.

He laughed maniacally, "If you won't let me leave, I'll kill Si Yuan. Si Yuan will accompany me on my journey to the Yellow Springs, and when I get to the Underworld, she will be all alone with me—"

"ah--"

The pen in his hand struck Li Jiale's tiger's mouth with sharp force.

A sharp cracking sound accompanied by excruciating pain rang out, and Li Jiale's wrist instantly went numb and lost its strength.

The knife clattered to the floor and slid a long way before Li Jiale could react, when a tremendous force struck his face.

When he was in pain, Si Yuan, whom he was holding, was taken away.

At the same time, the police swarmed in and pinned Li Jiale to the ground.

"Let me go..."

Li Jiale tried to struggle, but Shen Xingzhu angrily grabbed a stun gun and stabbed him repeatedly.

"You beast, you bastard, how dare you hurt A-Yuan! Die!"
