âHehehe, Youwei, stop hiding, come out now.
The door is about to be smashed open by me.
Once I get in, youâre going to suffer so much.
If you come out nicely now, I might be gentler with you later.â
Xiao Jiboâs voice was indescribably terrifying.
It was like the continuous piercing sound of a demonâs chant.
Youwei saw that the door was already seriously deformed.
At this rate, it wouldnât be long before Xiao Jibo could break through.
The situation she would face at that time was easy to imagine.
And being on the twenty-something floor, there was no possibility of escape.
All means of contacting the outside world were cut off at this moment.
And there was a torrential downpour outside.
âBoom!â
With another loud noise, the roomâs door was finally kicked open by Xiao Jibo.
The objects that had been blocking the door couldnât even stop Xiao Jibo for a minute.
The moment the door was breached, Youwei ran into the bedroom and locked the door from inside.
She then struggled to move the table over, blocking it behind the door.
She could no longer cry.
âThump!â
Xiao Jibo kicked the door fiercely.
The strong rebound almost broke Youweiâs bones.
Xiao Jibo was tall and imposing.
Filled with rage and desire at the moment, his strength was frighteningly great.
After the second kick, the bedroom door was kicked open.
Youwei fell to the ground from the enormous force.
She saw Xiao Jibo, like a fiendish ghost, walking towards her step by step.
His eyes were emitting a terrifying green glow.
âSwoosh!â
A dagger appeared in Xiao Jiboâs hand.
Under the illumination of the light, it gleamed with a cold brightness.
He grinned and said, âAfter wasting so much of my energy, tell me, how should I punish you later?â
âDonât,â Youwei pleaded desperately, retreating backward, her face ashen, âPlease, donât come any closer.â
Xiao Jiboâs wicked fire in his chest uncontrollably spread upon seeing Youweiâs current state.
âI told you, the pain Jiang Xu inflicted on me, I will repay it a thousand times over on you.â
Xiao Jibo stepped closer to Youwei, his tone cold as ice, âI will cut off the flesh from your body, piece by piece, and then send the photos to Jiang Xu.â
Youwei was almost scared to the point of fainting.
Xiao Jibo stood in front of Youwei, looking down at her from a height: âDonât say I didnât give you a chance.
If you say right now that Jiang Xu is a beast, worse than a pig or dog, I might consider letting you off.â
Of course, he had no intention of really letting Youwei go.
He just wanted to watch Youwei reveal the most despicable and disgusting scene under the test of human nature.
Because thatâs exactly how he had been in front of Jiang Xu before.
Stripped of his clothes for photos, his dignity ground into the dirt.
Youwei bit her lips tightly.
She would never say it.
Jiang Xu was her great benefactor.
Even if she died here today, she would never speak a single word that insulted Jiang Xu.
âQuite stubborn,â a layer of chill covered Xiao Jiboâs eyes, âSince thatâs the case, then letâs have you taste the feeling of a dagger stabbing through your thigh!â
As he spoke, he fiercely stabbed his dagger toward Youweiâs thigh.
âAh!â
Youwei let out a scream of despair and closed her eyes.
However, the anticipated scene of blood and gore did not occur.
Xiao Jiboâs wrist was caught by a man with a cold countenance.
Immediately after, they began to struggle.
Jiang Xu rushed in from the outside, his expression tense.
Seeing Youwei unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hurried over and pulled her outside.
âCousin, letâs go downstairs first,â Jiang Xu said.
Once they were out the door, the tension on Jiang Xuâs face instantly vanished.
Chu Youweiâs mind went blank.
It wasnât until the elevator doors opened and the two of them entered that the tension on Jiang Xuâs face disappeared, replaced by a sense of calm.
He had known about this turn of events for a while.
At noon, his personal intelligence system had already detected Xiao Jiboâs abnormal movements.
It had discovered that Xiao Jibo had bribed the property management of Chu Youweiâs residential complex, acquiring the elevator card and the signal line to the landline in the room, among other things.
As soon as Jiang Xu became aware of the situation, he made up his mind.
Xiao Jibo had left him with no other choice.
So, he had someone sneak into Chu Youweiâs home earlier to install cameras.
Every room, except the bathroom, had one.
Jiang Xu had actually arrived much earlier but did not immediately make his presence known.
Instead, he waited until Xiao Jibo was about to commit his violent act before ârushing overâ with his bodyguards.
âDing!â
The elevator reached the ground floor, and the doors opened.
They stepped out.
Jiang Xu looked at Chu Youwei, who was still visibly shaken.
He took a piece of chocolate out of his pocket, unwrapped it, and handed it to her, âEat this to calm your nerves.â
âTha⦠Thank you,â she said.
Chu Youwei took it and popped it into her mouth.
The slightly bitter taste of the chocolate melted in her mouth, gradually soothing her nerves.
It seemed to really calm her down.
When he noticed that her mood had almost returned to normal, Jiang Xu finally spoke, âLetâs sell this apartment and get you one with a better security system.â
Chu Youwei initially wanted to say it was unnecessary.
But with the events that had just occurred vivid in her mind, she didnât want to go through it again.
She gently nodded her head in agreement.
Jiang Xu then took out a packet of womenâs cigarettes.
He lit one and handed it to Chu Youwei, âHave a smoke, itâs light and can help with psychological recovery.â
Chu Youwei hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
However, she didnât immediately put it to her mouth but asked, âDid you expect all of this?â
Jiang Xu was taken aback, âWhy do you ask?â
Chu Youwei lowered her head, âBecause you never smoke, nor do you need to ingratiate yourself with anyone. Normally, you wouldnât carry cigarettes with you.
So the only explanation is that you prepared them for me.â
Jiang Xu hadnât anticipated Chu Youweiâs acuity.
He nodded, âYes, you guessed right.â
A tinge of bitterness arose in Chu Youweiâs heart.
She realized that she had been used as a pawn by Jiang Xu.
Even though she hadnât been harmed, it still didnât feel right.
If it were An Nuonuo, he surely wouldnât want her to face even a hint of danger.
Chu Youwei shook her head slightly, banishing those inappropriate thoughts from her mind.
How could she even dare to compare herself with An Nuonuo?
She put the cigarette in her mouth and took a puff, but Chu Youwei ended up choking on it.
Although Jiang Xu had never smoked, he knew the process.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After a brief explanation, Chu Youwei got the hang of it.
She felt a strange sense of change within her.
In her conventional understanding, girls who smoked were bad girls.
She never thought she would one day become a âbad girlâ herself.
By the time she finished the cigarette, it seemed like she had no significant problems, at least on the surface.
The heavy rain outside had also stopped.
The sound of insects in the distance added a tranquil ambiance to the night.
Steady footsteps came from behind her.
Chu Youwei turned around to see the man approaching, and almost screamed.
