To Chen Tai and Liu Yuan's surprise, Hua He suddenly burst into laughter.
"Elder Chen, you think I didn't consider this beforehand? If I were afraid of you killing Liu Yuan, that cheap woman, I wouldn't have sent her to deliver things to you."
"Hua He, what do you mean?"
Liu Yuan stood up and questioned him over the phone.
"You cheap woman, you still have the audacity to ask me what I mean? You think I don't know you've been keeping a young lover behind my back?"
"If you dare betray me, I dare abandon you."
"We've been husband and wife, and you've enjoyed all the wealth and glory you deserve. Now it's time you made some contribution to my Hua family!"
Hua He no longer hid his intentions, openly falling out with Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's heart sank. She finally saw Hua He's true colors.
She gave a bitter smile and said, "Yes, I slept with another man behind your back. But don't act so noble yourself. Do you think I didn't know you've been keeping a mistress behind my back?"
"Hua He, since you've been so heartless towards me, our marital bond is completely severed."
After speaking, Liu Yuan slumped onto the chair, utterly dejected.
She hadn't expected Hua He to be so despicable and cold-blooded. Not only did he use her as a pawn, but he also disregarded her safety for his own benefit.
Marrying such a man, she would have been better off becoming a nun.
"Very well, very well! You two really are something. Chen Tai has truly opened his eyes!"
Chen Tai understood Hua He's scheme and applauded with a smile.
"Elder Chen, there's no need to say anything else. Either you compromise, or neither of us makes any money."
"I, Hua He, can even abandon my wife, so you should understand my stance!"
Hua He declared loudly to Chen Tai.
"I understand. How about this, give me some time to consider."
"Later, I'll have my subordinate film a short video of your wife with another man. If you don't care about her cheating on you, then I'll know you're serious."
Chen Tai said with a smile.
He wasn't a fool. What if Hua He and Liu Yuan were playing a trick on him?
For safety's sake, he had to test Hua He.
"Sure, film away if you want. I already have plenty of green hats, what's a few more?"
"Remember to send the video to me. I want to appreciate how lustful and wild that cheap woman is in bed."
Hua He said nonchalantly.
Liu Yuan trembled with rage. Neither Chen Tai nor Hua He were decent people; they could say such shameless things.
"Alright, just wait and see, you brat. You'll see quite a show."
Chen Tai angrily hung up the phone, his own heart filled with frustration.
All along, he, Chen Tai, had been the one threatening others. But today, he had been threatened repeatedly.
First by Lin Feng, and now by Hua He.
Did these people really think Chen Tai was old and incapable of wielding his blade anymore?
"Xiao Wu, go drag this woman away to film a video and send it to Hua He. I want to see if he truly doesn't care or is just pretending!"
Chen Tai glanced dismissively at the distraught Liu Yuan and ordered his subordinate.
The subordinate, receiving the order, immediately approached Liu Yuan: "Ms. Liu, please."
"Get lost!"
Liu Yuan snapped with a cold face.
Seeing Liu Yuan still putting up a show of defiance, several thugs sneered and jointly lifted her away.
Arriving at a hotel room, Liu Yuan was treated like a plaything and unceremoniously thrown onto the large bed by the thugs.
Following that, the thugs quickly began to undress.
"Bastards, all of you get out!"
Liu Yuan's eyes turned red. She had realized she was doomed for the day.
However, the last shred of her dignity as a woman still wouldn't allow her to wait for death.
She scrambled to the corner of the room, grabbed an ashtray, and stared at the thugs with terror.
"Ms. Liu, stop your futile resistance. We brothers will be gentle with you."
"Look at how beautiful you are, how feminine. You even keep a young lover behind your husband's back, so you must have strong needs in that department."
"We brothers are in good health, and we'll surely make you feel incredibly satisfied."
The thugs chuckled evilly, setting up a camera on the bedside table as they spoke.
"Don't come near me, don't come near me, please! Stay away from me!"
Liu Yuan's tears streamed down her face. She slumped in the corner, unable to bear the inner grievance and helplessness any longer, crying like an abandoned little girl.
"Time's about up, strip her and let's get to it!"
The leading thug, eager to get down to business, waved his hand, and the others pounced on Liu Yuan like hungry tigers.
"No!"
Liu Yuan struggled, brandishing the ashtray in her hand, and squeezed her eyes shut in fear, unable to watch.
Then, Liu Yuan heard the sounds of clanging and crashing, accompanied by the groans of the thugs.
"Alright, get up quickly. I'm here."
A gentle male voice sounded. Before Liu Yuan could even see what had happened, a pair of large hands embraced her waist, lifting her from the ground.
Liu Yuan opened her eyes in surprise, and the first thing she saw was Lin Feng's familiar face.
"Am I dreaming? How did you get here?"
Liu Yuan was somewhat dazed.
"It's not a dream. I saw your social media post, and I happened to be in Chuzhou, so I came to find you."
"It's fortunate I came, otherwise, you would have lost your virginity today!"
Lin Feng explained.
Liu Yuan suddenly realized and looked around, noticing that the thugs were nowhere to be seen.
"Where did you send them? They're Chen Tai's men. If you do this, you'll anger Chen Tai."
