The curtains were drawn and the room was dark.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of mold and a nauseating, fishy stench.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that there were such human legs in the world.
It was charred, withered, and full of holes. There was no trace of snow-white skin or blue veins. There were only scars of various sizes and strange shapes, and - blood.
"How disgusting." The handsome man frowned deeply. He looked at the bloody area where the skin and flesh had been peeled off and said with disgust: "Is this still a woman's leg? There is no desire in looking at it. It's just like a beast."
The woman's body was tied up with her back to an iron chair, with one leg tied to the chair leg and the other leg stretched out long. Blood was oozing out rapidly from several places where the skin had been cut off.
Bright red blood dripped drop by drop onto the brown carpet in the room, mixed with the damp and moldy smell emanating from the old carpet that had not been replaced for decades. This was the source of the foul smell.
"He's a butcher." The man pointed at the big man who was cutting meat with a knife and said, "He used to kill pigs, but now he kills people. He can kill a pig with one cut without any pain, or he can make a pig scream in pain and struggle for three to five hours without stopping - the same goes for people."
"Mad dog. You mad dog." The woman yelled hoarsely. Her face was hideous, and her eyes were filled with a murderous look that seemed ready to devour anyone.
No one would doubt that, if given a chance, she would cut off the flesh of the man in front of her, stuff it directly into her mouth, chew it with blood, and then swallow it without hesitation.
"Thank you for the compliment." The man laughed. "Hearing you scold me like that reminds me of an anecdote. It is said that Jiang Longtan's father-in-law once described his son-in-law as an ox and a dog. You called me a mad dog, so isn't that the same as Jiang Longtan? I admire him."
"You mad dog, devil----I trusted you wrongly-----"
"No, no, no." The man waved his hands. "You never believed in me. You just had to use me. If it weren't for me, if it weren't for us, would Jiang Longtan give you back the big piece of fat meat he ate? Impossible."
"You are more cruel than him, you are more disgusting than him----"
"I have never denied this." The man said, "But, so what? Verbal attack is also a form of attack, but it is too weak. For so many years, you have been cursing and spitting at Jiang Longtan every day, but haven't they lived a happy life?"
The man gave the butcher a look, and the butcher raised his blade and stabbed at the thigh.
"Ah------" The woman struggled and twisted desperately.
The man sat on the chair, admiring the woman's screams and wails and her distorted expression, and said, "To be honest, the only use you have for me now is to make your beautiful niece obey me."
"You don't know her at all." The woman's body trembled in pain, and her teeth chattered. "She won't give in. No one can change her decision."
"Really?" The man held the teacup in his hand and blew gently on the tea leaves on it. He said, "I don't think she has the capital to bargain with me."
Dongdong----
There was a knock on the door.
A middle-aged man in a black suit walked in and said in a deep voice, "Master, they are here."
"Um?"
"Baldhead and Ruler were lying injured in the yard."
"Oh, that's really exciting." The man laughed. "Then please invite our Miss Lu and her personal guardian angel in. I believe she will soon realize that she made a stupid decision."
The man responded and turned to leave.
Soon, Lu Chaoge and Fang Yan walked in.
Although the room was dimly lit, Lu Chaoge could still see his aunt tied to the chair.
She stood at the door of the study and said in a cold and resolute voice: "I know what you want. If anything happens to her, I would rather destroy it than give it to you."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is not the negotiating quality that an excellent heir should possess." The man sitting on the sofa turned around and said to Lu Chaoge with a smile on his face while looking at him with fierce eyes.
Fang Yan's first reaction when he walked into the box was to hold his breath because of the stench of blood on the floor. Then his eyes were attracted by the horrible and badly injured woman sitting on the chair. When he saw the handsome man who turned around, he almost felt like his breathing stopped for a moment.
It was like a thunderbolt in his head, shaking him to the point of almost falling and then waking up instantly.
"It's you." Fang Yan looked at the man in surprise and said.
The man looked at Fang Yan and said, "Teacher Fang, we meet again."
Fang Yan looked at the handsome man, then at the woman sitting on the chair with her head burnt beyond recognition, and finally his gaze stopped at Lu Chaoge's face. He murmured, "I understand. I understand everything."
When I said this, I felt like someone was stabbing me in the chest.
He had no time to defend himself, nor did he know how to dodge, so he just took the blow nakedly, letting the cold blade pierce into his flesh and bones.
agitation!
It hurts my heart!
Lu Chaoge's face was pale, but he insisted on not turning around and making eye contact with Fang Yan.
She is running away!
"Do you feel betrayed? Do you feel like a failure? You've been a pitiful pawn from the beginning to the end?" The man laughed and said, "The woman you trust the most, the woman you give everything for, the woman whose life you saved -- to her, you are just a fairly qualified bodyguard, a capable thug, and an untrusted but indispensable clown. Hahaha, Teacher Fang, you must be feeling very bad right now, right?"
"Liu Shu." Lu Chaoge gritted his teeth and said, "This is a matter between us. It has nothing to do with him."
Yes, this handsome man is Liu Shu, one of the Four Beauties of Flower City. Liu Shu is known as the lover of Flower City and is Jiang Zhuliu's good friend.
Back then, Lu Chaoge's aunt Wang Li climbed out of a burning car and was rescued by the Liu family. They healed her severely injured body, provided her with a hiding place, and also provided her with numerous resources and ammunition for her revenge on the Jiang father and son.
Because of the Liu family's help, Wang Li survived. And because of their instigation, the Jiang family father and son were forced into a desperate situation and had to cut off one of their arms to protect themselves.
Otherwise, relying solely on the power of Wang Li, a disabled person, and Lu Chaoge, who was under strict surveillance by the Jiang family, how could they possibly retaliate against Jiang Longtan and his son and take back the shares of Longtu Group that belonged to their father
However, this answer was too surprising and cruel for Fang Yan.
It turned out that the truth was not far away, he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
"How can it be irrelevant?" Liu Shu smiled and corrected the problem in Lu Chaoge's words. "Without Teacher Fang's wonderful performance, how could our big show go so smoothly? Without his important appearance, how could you have taken revenge on Jiang Longtan and his son and got what you wanted? And the death of that security guard - it seems that Teacher Fang was very angry at the time. You should feel better now, right?"
Liu Shu raised his glass to Fang Yan and said with a smile, "Teacher Fang, I have always wanted to say thank you to you. But the last time we met, the timing and the occasion were not right - so now, I will toast you with tea instead of wine."
After saying that, he drank the warm tea in the cup.
Fang Yan's face turned pale, but he just stood there without saying a word.
At this point, language has lost its power.
Liu Shu felt bored, so he shifted his gaze back to Lu Chaoge's face and said, "Ms. Lu Chaoge, it seems that your bodyguard Mr. Fang will no longer help you after knowing the truth that you concealed and deceived him. If this is the case, you don't even have the last bit of capital to negotiate with me. Then, things will become relatively simpler-----"
He stretched out his hand to Lu Chaoge and said, "You know you can't resist. So, give it to me. Give me everything I want."
Lu Chaoge was as cold as ice, his fingernails piercing his flesh until they bled. He said, "I made my position clear when I came in. Let her go and ensure our safety. Otherwise, I would rather destroy it."
"I'm surprised you're so uncooperative." Liu Shu shook her head and sighed. "Lu Chaoge, you know what? I've always thought highly of you. I think in this huge city of flowers, no one is better than you in terms of scheming, wisdom and forbearance. You insist on bargaining with me when you know it's hard to reverse the situation. What's the point?"
"How can I guarantee your safety? I said that as long as you give me something, I will ensure that you are safe and live a long life. Do you believe me?"
Liu Shu stood up, with a slender body and outstanding temperament. He had deep eyes and a handsome face like a European male model. He lived up to his reputation as the city's most popular sweetheart.
He walked up to Lu Chaoge and said with a smile, "You won't believe it. No matter what I say, you won't believe it. People like you will never believe anyone."
"I have to say that we are surprisingly imaginative in this regard. Since verbal promises cannot gain your trust, then we can only think with our heads. What good will it do me to kill you?"
"You should know that what I need is your father's work. We sent that loser Liu Jing to lurk there for decades but he still couldn't get the core technology we want. So, at this time, we have to ask you to help us. We were friends before, and we will still be friends in the future, right?"
(ps: I see your support and I will think about your suggestions. I still firmly believe that this is a wonderful story. I also always believe that what I write is a city that is different from others. That's it.) (To be continued)
