Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"Okay." Xie Tingxuan agreed, raised the knife and stabbed himself in the abdomen.

He Yaoyao couldn't hold it in any longer.

When Nicholas Tse fell to the ground, he broke free from his restraints and ran towards him like a madman.

She lifted him up from the ground and held him in her arms. Tears kept dripping onto Xie Tingxuan's scarred face. Her voice trembled, "Tingxuan, why are you so stupid? It's not worth it, it's really not worth it!"

Xie Tingxuan forced a weak smile and gently wiped the tears from He Yaoyao's face with his bloody hands. "Yaoyao, for you, I am willing to do anything. As long as you are well, I will be satisfied."

The middle-aged man watched this scene, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, as if he was enjoying their suffering. "It's really touching. But the game isn't over yet."

He raised his gun again, pointed it at He Yaoyao, and said to Xie Tingxuan, "This time, I want you to choose. Either you die, or she dies. Xie Tingxuan, do you still have the strength to stand up? Come on, make your choice."

Nicholas Tse struggled to stand up, but his strength was severely exhausted and he could only barely support himself on the ground with his arms.

He Yaoyao hugged him tightly, looking at the middle-aged man with anger and determination, "Enough! If you have anything to say, come to me, let him go! He has already done so much, isn't it enough?"

The middle-aged man sneered, "Enough? How is that enough? Compared to the cruelty he once inflicted on me, this is not even one thousandth of what he did before. However, since you care about him so much, I will give you a chance. As long as you are willing to be my woman, I will let him go."

"Impossible." Before He Yaoyao could agree, Xie Tingxuan rejected her offer. Although his voice was weak, his tone was remarkably firm. His extremely frail body stood up with the support of his tenacious willpower. "I will never let you hurt Yaoyao, and I will never let her sacrifice her own happiness to save me."

The middle-aged man's face was filled with disdain and contempt when he heard this. "You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to save her?"

Xie Tingxuan stared at him disrespectfully.

The middle-aged man was stared at with anger.

"Okay, then let me see how hard your bones are."

"Beat him until he can't get up anymore."

At the command of the middle-aged man, several men in black immediately surrounded him and pulled He Yaoyao over.

He Yaoyao was restrained by a powerful thug, while others punched and kicked Xie Nicholas Tse.

His back was bent and his legs were forced to his knees, but he said nothing.

As tough as a rock.

He Yaoyao watched him fall again, her heart aching. "Enough!" She closed her eyes and shouted, her tone full of determination. "I am willing to be your woman, as long as you let him go."

The middle-aged man was stunned. He didn't expect He Yaoyao to agree. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, as well as a hint of unknown jealousy. He walked in front of Xie Tingxuan, squatted down, and patted his cheek with his fingers insultingly. "I didn't expect that someone like you who should have gone to hell long ago would meet a woman who is so loyal to you."

"Xie Tingxuan, you're lucky!" He then raised his foot and crushed Xie Tingxuan's face with his leather shoe, venting his anger and saying, "Letting you die easily is the greatest forgiveness for you. Making you watch the woman you love being forced to indulge in my pleasure is the greatest harm to you!"

He walked in front of He Yaoyao again, and gently stroked her delicate face with his fingers. The obscene action was full of provocation.

He Yaoyao was forced to endure it just to prevent him from hurting Xie Tingxuan.

But for Xie Nicholas Tse, this kind of torture was more painful than killing him.

With amazing willpower, he pushed away the people holding him down and struggled to stand up. Although he was standing unsteadily and shaky, his eyes were like torches, burning with rage and indomitable spirit.

"Let her go!" Xie Tingxuan's voice was hoarse and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat.

The middle-aged man sneered, seeming surprised and excited by Xie Tingxuan's reaction. "Humph, still stubborn at this time? Do you really think you can change anything?"

Xie Tingxuan did not answer, but used all his strength to walk towards He Yaoyao step by step.

Every step he took felt like he was walking on the edge of a knife, but his eyes never left He Yaoyao, which were filled with endless love and desire to protect her.

He Yaoyao looked at Xie Tingxuan with tears in her eyes, the heartache eroding her body and brain.

She didn't want to be used as a handle to threaten Nicholas Tse, and she didn't want him to suffer more because of her.

"Tingxuan, don't come over here..." He Yaoyao said with a sob, "You will die if you come over again."

Xie Tingxuan shook his head, his eyes still firm and full of love, "Yaoyao, from the moment I met you, I knew that my life was no longer my own. For you, I am willing to give everything, even my life."

This is exactly what the middle-aged man wants to see. He wants to knock Nicholas Tse down again and again, let him experience pain and despair, and finally the feeling of heartbreak.

The middle-aged man grinned and waved his hand to signal his men to attack Xie Nicholas again, but this time, he did not directly order a beating. Instead, he asked his men to bring a thick iron rod.

"Xie Nicholas, let me see how strong your love can be." The middle-aged man handed the iron rod to the nearest subordinate with a cruel smile on his face.

The man took the iron rod and hesitated for a moment. He was obviously touched by the deep affection between Xie Tingxuan and He Yaoyao, but he was soon frightened by the middle-aged man's eyes and retreated. He raised the iron rod high and smashed it hard at Xie Tingxuan.

"No!" He Yaoyao screamed and tried to break free and rush forward, but she was held down tightly. She could only watch the iron rod fall. Every sound of metal hitting flesh was like a knife stabbing her heart.

Xie Nicholas Tse gritted his teeth and endured the blow. His body trembled violently, but he still did not fall down.

His eyes became more determined, as if to say that no matter what kind of pain it was, it could not stop his determination to protect He Yaoyao.

The men had no choice but to swing the iron rod again, and this time, he finally fell down.

But what was unexpected was that Xie Nicholas Tse's body, which looked extremely broken and weak, actually stood up again.

The man gritted his teeth and swung the iron rod again.

"Click——"

He Yaoyao felt as if she heard the sound of bones breaking.

"No!" A desperate and broken roar escaped from her throat.

Being knocked down again and again, getting up again and again.

He Yaoyao shook her head in pain, her vision blurred by tears.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face became even gloomier. He stepped forward and snatched the iron rod from his men, his eyes full of madness. "Since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish. But before you die, I want you to know what it feels like to lose the one you love."

As he spoke, he swung the iron rod, aiming directly at He Yaoyao, intending to force Xie Tingxuan to completely collapse.

At this critical moment, Xie Tingxuan burst out with unprecedented strength, broke free from the restraints of the people around him, and used his last bit of strength to pounce on He Yaoyao, holding her tightly under his body.

The iron rod whizzed past and hit his back heavily with a dull sound.
