SLAP!

Yang Yuanzhong slapped Su Li hard across her exquisite looking face.

A trace of blood started trickling out from the corner of Su Lis mouth, and his slap left vivid red marks on her face. She could feel a slow-burning pain issuing from her cheeks, but she gritted her teeth and stared at Yang Yuanzhong with anger in her eyes.

Im so sorry. I must have underestimated my strength. Ah, look, I have injured your face, if Zhi-er were in a proper mental state now, hed be in pain to see you like that.

Yang Yuanzhong furrowed his eyebrows, and there was a look of guilt in his expression. But in the next second, he started to laugh, and suddenly bellowed, Miss Su, you better understand what kind of circumstances you are in right now. So, you better keep your arrogance. Otherwise, I wont hesitate to injure the other half of your face as well!

Yang Yuanzhong, what is it that you want from me?

Su Li was furious, but she was also fearful of this Yang Yuanzhong, who looked just like a madman capable of doing anything right now. What youre doing is kidnapping, are you not afraid of the police at all? she cried.

Afraid of the police?

Yang Yuanzhong had a mocking look on his face. He shook his head and laughed eccentrically. It seems like you still have yet to properly grasp the current situation that youre in right now. From today onwards, the national goddess Su Li is going to vanish from this world. You will only be my sons wife, and there will only be one thing you need to do for the rest of your life. That is, to take good care of Zhi-er and continue the Yang family line for us, he said.

Su Li looked at Yang Hongzhi, smirking and laughing abnormally, and she suddenly felt a sense of helplessness and trepidation. It was going to be really scary if her life was going to end in the manner that Yang Yuanzhong just described.

Yang Yuangzhong walked and stood in front of Yang Hongzhi, lovingly touching his head. Do you know why Zhi-er ended up like this? he asked.

I dont want to know, because that has nothing to do with me at all, Su Li said, defiantly changing her gaze to somewhere else and trying to remain calm.

No, you have to know.

Yang Yuanzhong shook his head, the smile on his face turned cold, and he said, Someone violently pushed him down at a public toilet and forced him to eat the dirtiest excrement of a human body. He became crazy because this person drove him into this current state.

What?!

Su Li was stunned. How could that be? Who would have the nerve to do this to Yang Hongzhi? Besides, such a method of punishment was so cruel.

Yang Yuanzhong suddenly shouted, The one who made Zhi-er turn mad is the guy with the last name Xiao!

Last name, Xiao?

What, dont tell me its Xiao Luo?

Su Lis eyes widened as she looked at Yang Yuanzhong in shock. Qingyan hinted to her back then that the reason why Yang Hongzhi went crazy could have been because of Xiao Luo. But she ignored it, thinking that it was just a joke. Looking at it now, it seemed like it was indeed related to her man.

Seems like you have already guessed who that guy is. Thats right, and its that b*stard Xiao Luo who is in a complicated relationship with you right now!

Yang Yuanzhong was practically roaring at this point. At the mere mention of the name Xiao Luo, the kind of hatred that he had for him could be likened to an invisible laser beam that shot out of his eyes. He was crazy, angry, and murderous, and one couldnt help but tremble in fear when they saw this.

How could it be him?!

Su Li began to tremble uncontrollably as she realized now that she barely knew anything about Xiao Luo.

Instinctively, Su Li spoke out in defense of her husband and refuted Yang Yuanzhongs accusation. Xiao Luo would never harm someone for no good reason. It must be your son, Yang Hongzhi, who provoked him first. In that case, then he deserved it! she cried.

Shut up!

Yang Yuanzhongs face turned cold. He lifted his hand, intending to give her another slap, but brought his hand down after barely lifting it. With the laughter of a madman, he said, Today is a happy day for you and my son Zhi-er. If I injure your face so badly by slapping you, then your face wont be pretty anymore. Besides, I have to tell you something. Today is the day of Xiao Luos death as well. Im going to use his blood as the drink for the wine-sharing ceremony between the both of you

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

The incessant sound of hounds barking could be heard on the outside.

Yang Yuanzhong turned his head and looked down the hall. His eyes were cold as he said, It must be him; hes here!

Su Li stared at the darkness of the night beyond the massive doors of the hall, and her heart sank.

At the massive door in front of Bode Villa, two hefty-looking guards were staring down at a young man standing at the stairs. He appeared to be looking up at the sign, Bode Villa.

The young man was wearing a black-colored denim jacket and a pair of casual trousers. His fair and bright-looking face looked a little grim, and he had slightly slanted eyebrows and sharp, black eyes. He had a demeanor of aloofness like someone whose mind was a thousand miles away

It was indeed Xiao Luo!

Are you deaf? Hurry up and tell us what the hell you are doing here in the middle of the night?! Otherwise, well catch you and hand you over to the police, a guard shouted, flicking out his telescopic baton.

Xiao Luo completely ignored them, and without changing the expression on his face, he asked, Is Yang Yuanzhong living here?

The two guards looked at one another. They thought that this guy must be here to create trouble at the back of their minds. To think that he had the nerve to mention their bosss name directly!

Brat, did you drink too much, or have you gone crazy? Who do you think you are for you to call our bosss name like that?

Ill give you ten seconds for you to get out of my sight! Otherwise, Im going to whack you so hard that your teeth will be strewn all over the floor!

The guards spoke fiercely, issuing him a stern warning.

Hmm, it seems like I came to the right place.

Xiao Luo mumbled to himself and continued to walk toward Bode Villa.

Stay there! Do you hear me? I said, stay there!

The other guard realized that something was not right and drew out the telescopic baton from his waist, getting ready to attack.

Xiao Luo didnt slow down his pace at all and nonchalantly continued walking ahead.

The two guards gave each other a nervous glance, raised their telescopic stick, and made ready to strike at Xiao Luo.

I told you to stay there, did you not hear one of the guards shouted.

His voice stopped abruptly as Xiao Luo instantly took action, thrusting his steely fingers towards both their chest at an incredible speed. They were petrified, unable to say a word, they couldnt move their limbs and were stuck on the spot like two stone statues.

The alarming scene left many of the villas security guards, stationed not too far away, stunned. They were within visual distance, and they could clearly see what had happened at the front door.

Along with a pack of ferocious, barking guard hounds, dozens of security guards in black stood in a fan-shaped barrier to block Xiao Luos path. Three brown-colored guard dogs flashed their fangs and couldnt stop barking as they strained against their leashes, attempting to charge at Xiao Luo. It seemed like they were about to break the chains that held them back. The prominent muscle definitions on their limbs were a clear indication of how strong they were.

One of the security guards had a playful smile on his face. Boss said that there would be a VIP tonight. Its a guy called Xiao Luo. I assume its you? he asked.

Where is Yang Yuanzhong? Xiao Luo asked coldly.

The security guard sneered, Our boss is not someone you can see whenever you like. Forcing your way into Bode Villa, I bet you dont know how many eyes Ma Wangye[1] has! He waved his hand forward and called out, Let the dogs loose, tear him into pieces!

Three of the subordinates who heard the command released the snarling dogs, baying for flesh and blood.

The three dogs growled fiercely and rushed towards Xiao Luo like hungry wolves in a night hunt. Their fangs gleamed in the moonlight, sharp as knives, and while they were running, their mouths frothed and reeked a rancid smell. If it was a normal human being facing these ferocious dogs, it was highly likely they would have their souls eaten.
