An Nuan was tightly embraced by Ye Jinghuai in his arms.
Inside a vast and dilapidated warehouse.
The man whom An Nuan had kicked and exploded was rolling on the ground, while the man who intended to violate her stood frozen, unable to move. Tong Zhitong was also petrified, her eyes fixed on Ye Jinghuai, unable to believe that he had appeared here.
Looking at him now, it seemed that his eyes were filled only with An Nuan.
He took off his own white shirt and dressed An Nuan's already exposed body with it. The bloodstains on his body dyed the white shirt a vivid red. His face was stern, devoid of any emotion, but terrifyingly intimidating.
Button by button, Ye Jinghuai fastened the shirt on An Nuan, tightly covering her body.
An Nuan kept looking at Ye Jinghuai.
She watched his gentle movements, but her face remained icy cold.
There was a kind of sinister atmosphere, like that of hell.
An Nuan had been suppressing her emotions all night, and finally, at this moment, she collapsed.
In truth, she wasn't hurt much.
Just some superficial injuries, and she hadn't been violated by the men.
But at this moment, when she saw Ye Jinghuai and felt the warmth emanating from his body, her tears uncontrollably streamed down, large droplets falling incessantly.
"Don't cry," Ye Jinghuai's voice was very low, as if suppressing something.
His slender fingers wiped away her tears.
He said, "I will protect you."
An Nuan's tears flowed even more vigorously.
In her previous life, she had never thought of being protected by anyone.
In her previous life, she had never expected to be moved by a man again.
Through her teary eyes, An Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai.
She looked at his gentle face, but his eyes were ice-cold.
His thin lips moved slightly, "Axuan."
Only now did An Nuan notice that Ye Jingxuan was also there.
Standing beside them.
He didn't show any emotions or make any movements.
He was completely indifferent, even numb.
Respectfully, he handed a black handgun to Ye Jinghuai.
The sense of security that An Nuan had just felt suddenly turned into fear.
She could see the murderous intent in Ye Jinghuai's eyes.
"Ye Jinghuai..." An Nuan called out to him in a panicked voice.
"Be good, don't look," Ye Jinghuai's voice remained incredibly gentle.
An Nuan shook her head, shaking it continuously.
No.
Beiwenguo was a country governed by the rule of law.
Killing was not allowed.
She tightly gripped Ye Jinghuai's clothes, trying to stop him.
She didn't want him to plunge into the abyss of sin for her sake.
Her agitation was visible to Ye Jinghuai.
At that moment, he even smiled.
A doting smile.
He said, "That's the world you know."
The world you know, a world of laws and regulations.
In his world, it never was!
Ye Jinghuai covered her eyes with his hand.
At the same time.
A gunshot, filled with terror, suddenly resounded in her ears.
An Nuan seemed to feel the bullet bursting out from Ye Jinghuai's arm in the cold and silent space.
"Ah!" A man's miserable cry echoed in the air.
An Nuan's body trembled involuntarily.
At that moment, she instinctively wanted to look.
But she was held tightly in an embrace, and the next second, a gentle kiss was placed on her lips.
Something stirred in An Nuan's heart.
It was an action prevented by Ye Jinghuai that she wanted to see.
A kiss.
A fleeting touch.
Ye Jinghuai released her.
In his eyes, there seemed to be a trace of tenderness at that moment.
What he was doing now was clearly out of place.
An Nuan looked at Ye Jinghuai intently.
She looked at this man who was completely different from her impression of him.
"You know nothing, it was all me," Ye Jinghuai said in a low voice, as if he was saying that all the wrongdoing was done by him alone and had nothing to do with her.
But...
She didn't want him to distance himself from it.
What she wanted was... Ye Jinghuai to be well.
Her eyes turned crimson.
In her confusion at that moment, she just held onto his body tightly, holding onto his bare upper body. She didn't even realize that due to nervousness, her nails had deeply sunk into his skin, but Ye Jinghuai seemed to feel no pain at all, not even a furrowed brow.
Ye Jinghuai held An Nuan in his arms, lifting her up from the ground.
An Nuan instinctively embraced Ye Jinghuai's neck.
Being held by him...
She finally saw clearly that the entire warehouse was filled with men in black suits.
They had a strong presence.
No wonder...
The two men beside Tong Zhitong didn't resist at all when Ye Jinghuai entered.
They knew very well that resistance was futile.
Ye Jinghuai stood in front of the man whose lower body was covered in blood, looking down at him from above as he trembled in pain.
He asked, "Have you gone in?"
The man was in so much pain that he probably couldn't hear what Ye Jinghuai was saying anymore.
"This will directly determine whether you'll leave here in one piece," Ye Jinghuai said coldly, his words devoid of any emotion.
The man continued to writhe on the ground.
Ye Jinghuai coldly watched, and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter."
As he spoke...
With just a glance from Ye Jinghuai.
The two black-suited men closest to him approached and easily subdued the man on the ground, then skillfully dragged him out of the warehouse.
On the ground...
The bloodstains left by the man were clearly gruesome.
Yet, there was no reaction from anyone present.
The man who had been screaming incessantly suddenly fell silent.
An Nuan didn't know where Ye Jinghuai would have him taken...
She didn't know if his "leaving here in one piece" meant... killing him to cover their tracks.
All she knew was...
The Ye Jinghuai she saw now.
Had already exceeded all her previous understanding of him.
An Nuan struggled to control her emotions.
She tried hard not to be afraid or anxious.
When she was violated, she really wanted to kill the man in front of her, to kill Tong Zhitong, to even dismember their bodies. At that time, if someone had given her a handgun, she would have fired without hesitation.
So...
Everything Ye Jinghuai was doing now was just for the sake of helping her seek revenge.
She should be grateful to Ye Jinghuai for fulfilling her recent wish.
However...
Her body was still trembling.
The deeper she thought about it, the more intense her trembling became.
She had always believed that the so-called dark world was nothing more than cunning and deceit, like Gu Yansheng, and merely a game of treachery between people. Even if Gu Yansheng ended up killing her, it would only be a cruel act by an individual, not something as blatant as what Ye Jinghuai was showing her now.
It was as if all the cruelty and violence were normal, and in this seemingly bright and peaceful world, there existed a place that was both brutal and bloody!
