The thunder roared continuously, as if knocking on her heart, one after another, making it difficult to withstand.

Qi Yan slowly took a few steps back.

She bent down and pulled up the loosened chain, her red lips pressed into a straight line.

Once again, the lightning shone on her, and the side wall flashed a straight shadow that was cut and stretched under the window bars.

for a long time.

She clenched the chain tightly, closed her eyes resignedly, and sighed. Lightning flashed, and this time the shadow bent slightly.

"Ding-dong—"

On the silk carpet with intricate patterns, the chain with a cold glow slid slowly towards the head of the bed.

……

Downstairs of the mansion.

The servants and the housekeeper were discussing:

"Is Master Pei okay?"

"The doctor said it was a broken arm and a slight concussion."

"Ah—that's actually okay."

"What's good? The injury is not serious, but it happened in our northern part. The young master is in trouble. I didn't dare to report it to the higher-ups, and the young master still doesn't know about it."

"Will the Council of Elders say how to deal with this? What is the Pei family's attitude?"

"There's no news from there yet, so I can only follow the rules of the mansion."

"I am more concerned about whether I will be punished. However, Mr. Shen is not a member of the family after all. Do we have the right to punish him?"

"This... I need to ask the young master for instructions."

"..."

Everyone paused, looking at each other.

"Don't disturb the young master. Stay with Mr. Shen for now and wait for news."

"The Elders' Council is too quiet. Given their style, they should have removed everyone from the Council tonight."

"That's because they have concerns. Mr. Shen's situation is special now, and the Elders Council should not touch him for the time being."

"But Master Pei is injured like that, can the Pei family bear this?"

"I'm beginning to worry about Mr. Shen's future."

"What future can he have? If he can't stop the young master, he will just be brainwashed and sent out."

"Has anyone seen the reason? Why did Mr. Shen suddenly have an attack? He wasn't like this before."

Some people were extremely dissatisfied with Shen Rao's actions:

"Let's not talk about the reason first. He is emotionally unstable and even went crazy. How can we let such a dangerous person get close to the young master?"

"Does the Council of Elders not conduct risk screening at all? They are becoming more and more perfunctory towards the host family."

"It's no big deal to suddenly attack Master Pei today, but what if we attack the Master?"

"..."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Can he beat the young master?"

"..."

"Looking at the injuries on Mr. Shen's body, who attacked whom?"

Some people think divergently:

"Don't say that. I feel sorry for Mr. Shen. He might end up being a husband who marries far away and is isolated and helpless, and has to face domestic violence from his wife."

Naturally, everyone completely supports Qi Yan:

"However, this cannot be blamed on the young master. Someone wanted to be beaten but didn't have the chance. Mr. Shen should be grateful."

"The young master would never take action without a reason! If he did, it must be the other party's fault!"

"really."

"You're absolutely right."

"support!"

"He is lucky to be chosen by the young master. No one else has such good fortune."

"It's, it's..."

Mr. Shen, what a poor man.

It's like entering a wolf's den.

Ignoring their interests, not many people in the Qi family are on his side.

Yuan Yuan listened to their discussions about Shen Rao, expressing either pity, dissatisfaction, or sympathy. The corner of her eyes that were sweeping across the corridor suddenly stopped and she opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"You, you...how come..."

A bolt of lightning struck.

A tall and straight figure appeared at the other end of the corridor.

……

"Can you stay away from me?"

On the carpet in the room, Shen Rao, who was being put in solitary confinement for self-reflection, angrily slapped away the black panther's tail that was hitting him.

"Ow!"

The black panther bared its teeth and hissed at him, then swung its powerful black tail towards his face, which was wrapped in gauze.

An ungrateful human being!

a few hours ago.

Shen Rao's attack successfully hit Pei Yuchen's forearm which he raised to defend. Pei Yuchen was completely enraged and a second war was about to break out.

After all, he is the best of this generation and his strength should not be underestimated. Just when Pei Yuchen was about to attack Shen Rao regardless of the consequences, Dahei jumped out, knocked him to the ground, and roared a warning.

At that moment, what hurt Pei Yuchen the most was not the wounds on his body, but his heart that was broken into several pieces.

Thinking of Pei's miserable appearance, Shen Rao curled the corners of his lips, moving the wound on his face, and sneered without feeling any pain: "He deserves it."

'Snapped--'

Another tail slapped him on the other side of the face.

Shen Rao was so annoyed that he grabbed its tail, which was so painful that he said, "Just hit it twice, don't push it any further. I didn't need your protection at all."

Although he has calmed down now, when Shen Rao heard Pei Yuchen's words, he was filled with violent and violent rage.

These bastards treated her like a wild animal, insulted her, put her in an electric shock collar, chained her, imprisoned her, and lined up men...

If Qi Yan wasn't strong enough and had incredible self-control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

These days, Shen Rao has completely understood what Qi Yan had said to him before, and... why she is so tolerant of what he thinks is a twisted possessiveness.

It turns out that compared to her "family", his behavior is just like a cat stretching out its claws to scratch an itch.

This group of people were far more twisted than he was, even beyond his imagination. They wanted her to fly as high as possible, but they didn't want her to fly away.

Shen Rao, who had gained all the knowledge, had no time to worry about anything else, such as consequences or punishments. He was only filled with boundless anger that could consume everything.

Shen Rao has never lost control to this extent in his life. His illness is usually controlled by venting his anger on objects and using sharp tongue.

And today...

There was frost in Shen Rao's eyes. He really wanted to kill Pei Yuchen.

——Kill all those who bullied her!

In dim light.

The black panther stared at him with its clear silver-gray eyes. Its eyes were very similar to its owner's, clear, calm, and with a power that could penetrate the soul.

Seeing that it had become obedient, Shen Rao was too lazy to continue arguing with a leopard and let go of the big tail in his hand.

But the next second, the tail hit his head hard again.

Black Panther: A stupid human who loves to stir up trouble!

Shen Rao's temper flared up, and he lightly pressed down on its neck to suppress it: "You stinky leopard, are you done yet? You can't tell the difference between a big king and a small king, right?!"

Dahei counterattacked: "Ah!"

Shen Rao pressed back: "Get out!"

The person who had just pushed the door in shuddered, and a clear voice sounded hesitantly: "Are you asking me to get out?"

"..."

Shen Rao paused in pulling the leopard's ears and stared blankly at the person who was coming towards the door with his back to the light.

The person she was thinking about still had an indifferent expression. Her pure white nightgown with excellent drape fell to her smooth calves. The eye-catching pure black collar on her slender neck had an imperceptible dark red luster. The only difference was:

Here she was, without chains around her ankles.

"Qi Yan? You——"

Why did you come out?

Why... did you come to see him...

Before Shen Rao could ask, Qi Yan had appeared in front of him and pinched his chin with cold fingers.

The deep blue eyes at a very close distance reflected his handsome face damaged in battle, covered with bruises and scratches. The corners of his thin lips were torn and covered with blood scabs, making him look like a damaged work of art, which was a pity.

Qi Yan frowned. It had only been a few hours since they last saw each other, and this man had already made himself like this.

When she spoke, her tone was cold and gloomy, which she was not aware of.

"Who did it?"

Who touched him?

"..."

The hand that pinched his jaw was like an iron clamp, cold and hard. At this time, Qi Yan still did not have the good awareness of being gentle to others.

Shen Rao's eyelashes trembled in pain. When he saw her, the originally cold-blooded tough guy suddenly felt the pain in his body was unbearable.

His eyes suddenly turned red: "Why are you so fierce?"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly let go, feeling a little regretful.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Did I hurt you?"

She lowered her voice in the second half of the sentence.

Shen Rao sat on the soft silk carpet. Black Panther, who had just had a fight with him, had disappeared long ago. The room was very quiet, and her concerned gaze was the best medicine to soothe his soul.

God's.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

He tried to ignore his pounding heartbeat and asked, "Let's not talk about this for now. Why did you come out?"

Isn't she chained?
