章)City A, Lus villa.
Cheng Anran opened her eyes blankly, and saw a dark place. Her brain was dazed for a moment.
Where is this?
The last image that stayed in her mind was that she was forcibly stuffed into the car by her nominal father, and the voice of her half-sister Cheng Wei:
"Being sent to Lu Tingxuan is the only value left for you, a bastard, in this family."
"But you dont have to worry too much. Mr. Lu is just a pervert who likes to torture women. If you cooperate obediently and make him happy, maybe I can respectfully call you Mrs. Lu next time I see you! Of course, you have to live to that day, right?"
The words were full of sarcasm, and then he took out the needle and stabbed it into Cheng Anrans body. As the drug progressed, her consciousness gradually blurred.
She vaguely felt Cheng Wei approaching and whispering in her ear: "You dont know yet, Qi Yue and I got engaged yesterday. My dear sister, are you very happy to hear this news before you die?"
Happy?
The corners of her lips rose in the dark, full of sarcasm.
How could she be happy?
With a creak, the door suddenly opened.
The dazzling light made her eyes narrow into a slit, and it took a long time for her to adapt to the sudden strong light.
"Awake?"
The mans cold voice was like a spring that knocked on her heart. Thinking of where she was, she blurted out without thinking--
"Lu Tingxuan?"
Lu Tingxuan, chairman of the Lu Group, graduated from Harvard Business School at the age of seventeen and returned to China. He joined the Lu Group and took control of it in less than three years.
Ten years after taking office, the scale of the Lu Group has tripled. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Lu Group is rich enough to rival a country and powerful!
Such a powerful person should have been sought after by thousands of people, but it was a pity that he suddenly encountered a car accident at the age of 23. He was found and saved, but his face was disfigured, his legs were broken, and his temperament changed drastically. Anyone who provoked him would disappear in City A the next day!
But these are not what Cheng Anran cares about most. What she cares about most is that Cheng Wei said he was a "pervert who tortured women"!
Because of his broken leg, he was inhumane, so the women sent to his room had a very miserable end.
Thinking of this, Cheng Anrans body stiffened instantly.
She could accept death, but she couldnt accept that her death would be in this way!
Watching the backlit figure getting closer and closer to her, as the wheelchair turned, the cold fingers pinched her jaw.
"Cheng Anran?"
Affected by the mans temperature, she shuddered and trembled: "Yes."
"Why are you shaking? Are you afraid of seeing me?"
Of course Im afraid!
I thought so in my heart, and I said so: "Afraid."
The big hand on the jaw suddenly increased its strength, and the ruthlessness seemed to crush her jaw!
The cold voice came again: "Are you scared?"
"... Not afraid."
"Lie!"
The dangerous aura that suddenly burst out from him made her scalp almost explode. The cold fingers moved from her chin to her neck and tightened instantly!
The huge force strangled her throat and suffocated her. She instinctively grabbed his hand and tried to pull it away, but his big hand was like a shackle and she couldnt get rid of it at all!
Waves of dizziness came, and her mind went blank. Gradually, her limbs began to become weak, and she lost her strength.
Well, this way of dying is much more acceptable to her than dying in humiliation.
The hand that was holding Lu Tingxuan slipped away, and she completely gave up struggling, but at this moment, Lu Tingxuans hand slowly loosened.
The air suddenly filled Cheng Anrans body, and the feeling in her chest that seemed to explode made her unable to help but breathe in big mouthfuls.
After finally regaining consciousness, I heard the person next to me say again: "Are you afraid?"
Cheng Anran: "..."
Perhaps it was anger, fear, or other emotions, which made Cheng Anrans throat burn at this moment:
"Are you sick? You said you were afraid and you pinched me. You said you were not afraid and you said I was lying and you pinched me! Now you are still asking if I am afraid? What the hell are you asking! Are you a three-year-old elementary school student? Dont you know if you are afraid or not?"
The hoarse voice resounded throughout the room, and then fell into a strange silence.
After a while, Cheng Anran realized what she had done and looked at the ceiling with the light from the crack in the door.
She was finished, she was definitely finished.
She would definitely be tortured to death.
However, the imagined scene did not come, and there was only his words: "Take the check and leave City A."
"What?"
In response to her astonishment, there was a "click" sound, and the European-style chandelier on the ceiling turned on.
The light was dim, not as dazzling as the white light outside the door, and she recovered in just a few blinks.
She looked at the bedside at the first time. There was a masked man sitting in a wheelchair. He was disfigured, had a broken leg, and had obvious features. It was confirmed to be Lu Tingxuan.
But the aura of him under the light was completely opposite to the aura of the man who had just pinched her neck. One was full of destruction, and the other was calm and indifferent.
If it werent for the burning pain in her throat, she might really think that the violent man was her hallucination.
Tentatively asked: "You... mean I can leave here, leave City A?"
The eyes under the mask raised, revealing the dark pupils inside: "Dont want to leave?"
"Not really..."
Its just strange, how could the rumored murderer be so kind to let her go? Could it be that he wanted to relax her vigilance and catch her back on her way out for fun?
Seeing her doubt, Lu Tingxuan said calmly: "I dont have the habit of killing people."
Seeing that she still didnt believe it, he added: "A society ruled by law."
Somewhat believed.
"Lets go, I want to rest."
Cheng Anran got up from the bed, took the check and walked out the door.
A middle-aged man in his fifties stood outside the door. Seeing her, he smiled friendly: "I am the housekeeper here. Go down the stairs and you will reach the door of the villa. Miss can call a taxi at the door to exchange the check at the bank."
How did he know she had a check?
Cheng Anrans heart jumped, smiled at him twice and walked to where he pointed.
There were two rows of men in black on the stairs, wearing headphones on their ears and sunglasses on their eyes. They were strong and stood straight.
She walked down the stairs boldly, not noticing that there were two people standing not far behind her, Lu Tingxuan and the housekeeper.
Lu Tingxuan was peeling chestnuts very seriously. The shells and meat were very neat, without any debris.
The butler on the side looked around for a moment: "Master, shes coming down the stairs."
He paused, and raised his lips: "Is everything ready?"
