After wiping Jian Danâs body, he soothed her to sleep. It wasnât until Jian Dan was fast asleep that Chu Liyuan silently got out of bed, headed straight downstairs, and drove away from Li Gardenâ¦
When Chu Liyuan arrived, Wang Mian was already beyond recognition, but Li Jing hadnât done anything to him.
âWhatâs the situation now?â Just now, Chu Liyuanâs focus had been entirely on Jian Dan, so he hadnât noticed Wang Mian at the side.
âHis eyes have been gouged out, and his tongue has been cut off. Heâs practically worthless now!â Li Jing assessed.
âDo you know who did this?â Someone must have acted before they arrived, leaving Wang Mian in this state.
Li Jing shook his head gravely. After conducting a thorough investigation, no trace was left behind. âIt appears that someone cleaned up the scene very carefully!â
Chu Liyuanâs eyes narrowed slightly.
To handle the affair so impeccably and to clean up afterward without leaving any trace, there werenât many who could do this.
âIt seems the person doesnât want their identity to be known,â one could tell just by looking at Wang Mianâs eyes and tongue.
âNo matter who it was, they saved Jian Jian!â Had this person not appeared, Jian Jian might have been⦠by the time he arrived.
Chu Liyuan sat down on a chair, coldly observing Wang Mian slumped in a corner, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Wang Mian had recorded that video, which Chu Liyuan had already seen. Although the latter part wasnât there, the first half was recorded very clearly.
Just thinking about how this man had touched Jian Jianâs body made Chu Liyuan wish he could immediately chop him into mincemeat and feed him to the dogs.
âYour eyes and mouth might be ruined, but your ears can still hear, right?
So Iâll tell you, do you think your death will solve everything?
I didnât plan to be so ruthless originally, but since you insist on walking a path of no return, I can only oblige you.â Chu Liyuanâs voice was cold in Wang Mianâs ear. âDo you think your life alone is enough for todayâs affairs?â
Hearing this, Wang Mianâs emotions visibly changed. Although he couldnât speak, one could still hear noises coming directly from his throat, and from his facial expressions, one could deduce the meaning he wanted to convey.
âRegrets? Thereâs no such thing as a pill for regret in this world!â
Wang Mian was already in despair, but now that he knew his family would likely suffer because of him, he regretted his actions more than ever.
âDonât worry, I wonât kill them. Dying is so easy, isnât it? That feeling of wanting to die but being unable to is much more interesting.
And as for youâI will likewise keep you alive, I want you to live like an animal!
Li Jingâcripple his limbs and throw him out on the street,â Chu Li commanded, then left without looking back.
Wang Mian really wanted to beg for Chu Liâs mercy, but he couldnât do anything, a feeling of powerlessness that was even more unbearable than death itself.
The next day, when Li Lao heard the news about Wang Mian, he was rather stunned. He had thought Wang Mian had some backing, but in just a short day, everything related to Wang Mian had been wiped clean without a trace. This made Li Lao feel relieved that his granddaughter hadnât married such a worthless man.@@novelbin@@
