Chapter Ninety-Two

The lights flickered in the vast private underground garage. Rows of luxury cars were parked neatly, like silent behemoths, watching the two burly bodyguards who grabbed Jiang You's arms and drove quickly along the passageway.

"Ugh...ugh..." Jiang You's mouth was taped shut, sweat was pouring down, and a few strands of hair clung to his sweaty cheeks as he struggled desperately in his eyes.

A homebody who doesn't like sports is no match for well-trained bodyguards.

Their hands were like iron clamps, preventing the girl from breaking free.

Xia Yan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped when she saw something, and the bodyguards behind her also stopped.

Jiang You looked ahead. A black, limited-edition luxury car was parked quietly in the center. Standing beside it were many men, all over 1.85 meters tall, dressed in black suits.

In the middle, Xia Beida sat lazily on the hood of the car with his long legs crossed, one hand propped on the car, the other hand occasionally pressing a lighter.

The square, pure black body resembles a mysterious obsidian, gleaming with a cold luster.

The slender, bony index finger occasionally tugged lightly on the lighter cap.

"Click"... "Tap"...

The sound of metal clanging as the lid opened and closed echoed in the silent underground parking lot, like a hammer striking the heart again and again, sending shivers down one's spine.

“My dear brother,” Xia Bei said with a faint smile, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Xia Yan, his voice unhurried, “Where are you headed?”

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Xia Yan stepped forward with a smile, glancing at the bodyguard to lead the others away first.

Xia Bei's people stopped them.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet; apart from the faint sound of breathing, all other sounds seemed to vanish abruptly.

Xia Yan's smile vanished: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"What, what do you mean?" Xia Bei stood up from the hood of the car and asked in an extremely gentle tone.

His black shirt had a faint sheen, which made his delicate skin appear even whiter and more flawless.

The belt around her waist made her waist look slender and strong, giving her a very ascetic appearance.

Xia Yan frowned: "Brother, this is my girlfriend. I'm going to take her abroad."

"But this female classmate doesn't seem to want to go with you?"

"So what?" Xia Yan remained noncommittal. "As long as I'm happy."

"Really? I told Mom and Dad that I wanted to transfer you to a school abroad, and they agreed."

Xia Bei's answer was irrelevant. Xia Yan didn't react for a moment and asked, "And then?" After saying that, she suddenly realized something: "What about Jiang You? My parents would never agree to me going abroad to study."

"Oh, I showed Mom and Dad what you did to the girl, including all the fake documents you made for her... Anyway, I hinted a little that I'm getting a promotion. Although what you did won't affect anything, just in case, and since you've always wanted to study abroad, Mom and Dad agreed."

"Brother, why did you do this?"

Xia Yan stared intently at her brother, saying incredulously, "This has nothing to do with you, does it?"

I clearly told him before that if he liked something, he should take it. The Xia family is striving to stand at the top, not to suffer injustice.

But what's going on now?

Xia Bei didn't answer, but said casually, "The plane is ready, let's go."

"No, brother, you can't do this," Xia Yan said, her mind in complete disarray, as she looked frantically at Jiang You.

He didn't want to be separated from the girl, not even if it meant death.

Xia Bei gestured to the bodyguards to come forward and tie him up.

Xia Yan couldn't understand why his brother insisted on helping Jiang You, but he knew that once he left, he wouldn't be able to come back anytime soon.

As the bodyguards drew closer, he ran towards the right bank of the river. Before he could get close, he was caught by the bodyguards.

Despite his martial arts training, his skills proved inadequate against seasoned veterans.

The moment the bodyguard released her, Jiang You ran behind Xia Bei. She had just removed the tape from her mouth when her eyes narrowed slightly.

Xia Yan knelt down before Xia Bei, his hair disheveled and his handsome face covered in tears.

His peach blossom eyes reddened, and he pleaded humbly, "Brother, brother, I'll really die without Jiang You... Waaah, aren't you the one who loves me the most? Why are you doing this? I just want to be with Youyou, what did I do wrong?"

Xia Bei felt a moment of disorientation, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to many years ago.

At that time, the first words Xia Yan spoke were "brother".

As soon as Xia Yan learned to walk, she liked to follow him around like a little tail that he couldn't shake off.

He toddled along, trying to catch up with his older brother, calling out in a childish voice, "Brother, brother..."

It's a strange feeling, hard to explain, but not unpleasant.

However, compared to his younger brother, Jiang You suited his taste better.

Xia Bei clicked his tongue, narrowed his eyes, and slowly said, "How about this, we'll ask Jiang You. If she wants to be with you, I naturally won't stand in her way."

Xia Yan seemed to have grasped at the last straw and looked at Jiang You without any hesitation.

Because of his hasty and flustered movements, he almost stumbled and scrambled to the girl's feet.

"Right, right, right..."

Tears streamed down her face, making her look quite pathetic.
