Jiang Mian's eyes widened, and tears streamed down her face.

Why, exactly?

Why did she have to go through all this?

Just because the man who didn't love her treated her as a substitute?

"If you behave yourself, you'll suffer less." A burly man slapped her hard on the lower back with a palm the size of a fan.

With a muffled thud, he struck with great force, and Jiang Mian immediately felt half of her body go numb.

She opened her mouth, but the pain was so intense that she couldn't even scream.

But soon, shouts rang out.

It was another muffled thud, but it sounded more severe than the thud she had just heard.

Because in that muffled thud, Jiang Mian seemed to hear something cracking.

That must have been the sound of bones breaking.

Then, the burly man's previously evil voice had turned into a scream.

The next second, a deep, cold voice, as if it had come from hell, rang out.

He said to the burly man, "If you behave yourself, I might let you die a little more quickly."

Jiang Mian had always known that this man had an extremely beautiful voice.

But I never expected it would evoke such a feeling in her. It was like heavenly music.

Jiang Mian opened her eyes wide, her eyelashes still glistening with tiny drops of water, blurring her vision.

You need to focus your gaze to see clearly.

Jiang Mian saw that the man as agile leopard, a fierce beast.

It was as if they wanted to bite these people's necks off! To kill them in one bite!

He was dragging along some kind of iron rod or water pipe that he had somehow pulled out of somewhere.

Each swing, due to its great force and speed, can even produce a whooshing sound in the air!

Several other burly men had already surrounded him. No matter how skilled Lu Bozhou was, he would hardly have an advantage against so many opponents.

When Jiang Mian saw those burly men surround her, her heart skipped a beat.

“Bo Zhou…” she called out urgently in a hoarse voice.

But the next second, there was no sign of those burly men ganging up on him.

First, I heard a very clear click.

The voice sounded familiar, but it didn't feel like a voice you'd hear in real life.

It's a sound you only hear in movies and TV series.

After that shout, these burly men, who had initially come on menacingly, suddenly became very easy to talk to.

They stood still, not daring to move.

She even slowly raised her hands.

Jiang Mian knew that the sound she had just heard, which was supposed to be heard only in movies and TV shows, was not a mistake.

That was actually true...

Jiang Mian struggled to her feet and saw the man standing there with a cold face.

His handsome face held a chilling, desolate quality, like a thousand miles of ice and snow.

But what flickered in his eyes was a mad, frenzied light. And the corners of his mouth curled into a sinister, maniacal smile.

The thing he was holding was clearly...

Jiang Mian recalled the click sound she had heard earlier when the gun was cocked.

Lu Bozhou pointed at them, a smile spreading across his face. "Move, why aren't you moving?"

The burly man at the head of the group spoke cautiously, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, we're just doing this on behalf of someone else."

“I know. Lu Bolin told me you were here,” Lu Bozhou said coldly.

The burly men's faces flickered with excitement, and they were probably cursing under their breath. They were the ones who had invited Lu Bolin, but he had betrayed them.

How could this not make me angry! But when I thought that Lu Bolin had probably suffered even worse things before making this compromise, I felt much better.

Jiang Mian could tell that Lu Bozhou was in a bad mood. If he was holding a real weapon, it would be too dangerous!

Jiang Mian quickly went up to him, stood beside him, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said cautiously, "Bo Zhou, shall we... go?"

Jiang Mian's clothes had already been torn open, and now her lower back, where the strong man had slapped her, could be seen through the tear.

The finger marks were completely swollen.

Lu Bozhou casually took off his coat.

Then, squinting at the burly man in front of him, he asked, "You hit her?"

The next second, Jiang Mian only saw Lu Bozhou raise his hand, and his coat covered her head.

Jiang Mian felt as if she had been enveloped in a strangely safe darkness.

In the darkness, she was enveloped by the familiar scent of ebony and sandalwood emanating from Lu Bozhou.

The next second, Jiang Mian heard the burly man scream in agony. It was a terrible scream, cut short halfway through.

Then he gasped for breath, his voice trembling.

Jiang Mian was about to crawl out from under her clothes, but Lu Bozhou held her head down, preventing her from peeking out.

From her senses, Jiang Mian could only hear the man's trembling, gasping breaths.

And there was the sound of liquid dripping onto the ground.

Before Jiang Mian could react, her body was already lifted off the ground.

She gasped softly and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

They couldn't hold her head down any longer, and her head popped out from under her coat.

Then I saw the man's profile.

He carried her steadily out, his jawline sharp, and from this angle, it wasn't hard to see the corners of his tightly pursed lips.

And the firelight that still flickered in his eyes.

Jiang Mian gently bit her lip and whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ridden my electric scooter out..."

This was indeed her oversight; she had a driver available but didn't use him, just to have her mother drive her back...

Lu Bozhou did not look down at her, but kept his eyes on the road ahead.

The voice sounded calm, but it didn't sound angry at all; instead, it sounded like a relieved and relaxed tone.

"I'll set your electric scooter on fire sooner or later."

Jiang Mian had no way to explain herself. She gently bit her lip and whispered, "I'm sorry."

She paused, then said, "Thank you. It's a good thing you came, otherwise I would have been in danger. It seems they were planning to..."

She didn't continue, but just gently bit her lip.

Lu Bozhou sneered, "Lu Bolin said he arranged for a few people to serve you well, to make me wear a few green hats, and then to process the video and release it, so I'll have something to show for it."

Jiang Mian's face turned pale upon hearing his words.

I never expected Lu Bolin to have such a dirty mind.

Jiang Mian asked in a low voice, "Is it because of that project?"

“Hmm,” Lu Bozhou responded. “He wants to teach me a lesson. Our confrontations have always been like this. He always tries to teach me a lesson, but he always fails.”

Hearing Lu Bozhou's words, Jiang Mian didn't know what to say. But before she could think of what to say...

The man's next words hit her right in the ear.

"This time, he actually succeeded."

Jiang Mian was taken aback by his words, and suddenly looked up at him. "What?"

But before Lu Bozhou could answer her, Song Xun had already come forward, "Madam, are you alright?"

Jiang Mian shook her head gently, "I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

But Song Xun's expression remained serious. He turned to look at Lu Bozhou and asked, "Boss, you acted impulsively this time. It will be troublesome if Lu Bolin sets his sights on Madam."
