4-41: The little beauty got beaten up

Jiang Feng spent the entire day smashing up the office before he finally believed that the company was indeed targeted by the Huai Group.

Jiang Feng was originally 100% confident that he could win Huai Yan back at the party.

But when he saw the two of them kissing passionately on the balcony, and Jin Xiuchen's provocative gaze, he was shocked.

Jiang Feng then realized that he really had no chance.

With someone like this now by Huaiyan's side, he probably won't look back at him anymore.

But Jiang Feng was unwilling to give up, and he almost ground his teeth to powder.

He was the one who got together with Huaiyan first!

Recalling the sweetness between the two of them, Jiang Feng couldn't imagine why less than half a month had passed.

Things would get so out of control that he wouldn't want to face them, nor would he dare to.

Overnight, it seemed as if the whole world was against him.

Jiang Feng has lost his biggest backer, and it probably won't be long before that group of people find him by following the clues.

By then, everything will be over.

Jiang Feng needed to find an opportunity to have a frank and open conversation with Huai Yan.

Even if he can't have a chat, he will try to find a way to reconcile with Huaiyan.

Given the company's current situation, he cannot do without the Huai Group as a support.

With that in mind, Jiang Feng began to contact people and find out Huai Yan's itinerary.

-

When Huai Yan woke up, her hands and feet were tightly bound.

He immediately realized that this was not a trick by the Ghost King.

Instead, he was actually kidnapped.

Huaiyan struggled to open his eyes, trying to pry open the ropes binding him.

After his attempts failed, he looked around blankly.

As expected, extreme darkness did not arrive; the place he was in was now a hazy gray.

This place looks like a warehouse, making it a suitable location for kidnapping.

Huaiyan recalled the clichéd plots in various novels and couldn't help but think that this was a common problem with melodramatic stories.

Why did the kidnapping have to take place in a warehouse? Was it because the warehouse was in a more remote location?

If that's the case, then why not choose the beach?

“It’s easy to get surrounded at the beach,” 073 suddenly said. “Think about it, you can be caught in no time at the beach.”

Inside the warehouse, it takes time to pinpoint the exact location if someone comes looking for it.

“But isn’t the warehouse an easier place to be surrounded?” Huaiyan looked around. “In many novels, villains like us are often captured in warehouses.”

Huaiyan had many guesses about the kidnapping, but he already knew the most likely one.

People who are capable of doing this kind of thing are generally not very high-class.

Using this standard, a large number of people can be selected immediately.

So whether it's Jiang Feng or Lin Mu, it doesn't seem so important anymore.

This warehouse is completely enclosed; even the windows are sealed off.

In fact, even if the windows were not sealed off.

It will take Huaiyan a long time to escape.

His wrists were bound so tightly that no matter how hard he tried to break free, the ropes remained firmly in place.

“73,” Huaiyan sighed, “Does the system shop have knives?”

073 paused, seemingly lost in thought.

Before 073 could reply, Huaiyan had already opened the system warehouse and found the purchase section.

That column has a wide variety of items, almost everything.

Huai Yan clicked on the item warehouse in the dimensional classification and found what she wanted.

That was a Soul-Burning Blade specifically designed to target vengeful ghosts.

The moment a vengeful ghost touches this knife, its soul will be burned.

If contact is maintained for about ten minutes, the vengeful ghost will vanish into thin air.

When facing ordinary people or objects, this knife is just an ordinary knife.

It's no different from any other knife; it can be used for self-defense.

As soon as Huaiyan clicked the purchase button, a notification sound rang out.

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already holding a knife.

The knife was larger than Huaiyan had imagined, and it could easily cut the ropes binding him.

Huaiyan took a deep breath and carefully cut the rope.

He kept looking around, observing whether anyone might suddenly appear.

Fortunately, the process went smoothly, and no one broke in during this time.

Huai Yan had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly realized that even if he untied the rope, it would be no use.

A pair of silver shackles were fastened to his ankles.

The shackles reflected an unusual light, which shone into Huai Yan's eyes.

“…You’re sick.” Huai Yan finally couldn’t help but swear, letting out a low growl of impotent rage.

Isn't that just pure idiocy?!

They've already shackled him, why are they still tying him with ropes?

He has three heads and six arms?!

Huaiyan rolled his eyes, before he could go find the tools again.

Faint human voices could be heard outside the warehouse.

Huai Yan felt a chill and immediately picked up the rope that had fallen to the ground.

He pretended that nothing had happened, keeping his eyes slightly closed, and waited for the other person to arrive.

With a loud bang, the warehouse's dilapidated door was forcefully pushed open.

This is the scene that Jiang Feng saw when he entered the warehouse.

The boy was tied to a chair, his face slightly flushed, and he looked like he had fainted.

However, several bloody streaks snaked along the boy's fair neck.

The blood had congealed and turned a dull red.

The dilapidated surroundings seemed to further taint the boy.

The frail boy seemed ready to be tainted by dust at any moment.

Jiang Feng frowned slightly, glanced at his subordinate beside him, and scolded, "Didn't I tell you not to hurt him?!"

Now that Huaiyan has been injured, it will be even harder for Jiang Feng to explain himself once Huaiyan wakes up.

The best way to appease Huaiyan is to humbly admit your mistake.

Jiang Feng's original plan was simply to bring the person over by force and then humbly beg for peace.

If the boy disagrees, then that's a different story.

But now, the game has been ruined right from the start by this bunch of idiots.

Even if Huai Yan himself doesn't care about the injury on his head, the Huai family will definitely hold him accountable.

"This, this..." the subordinate stammered, looking embarrassed. "You only said you wanted to bring the person over, but you didn't say how. How are we supposed to know..."

"Useless trash! Good-for-nothing!"

Jiang Feng was furious and punched his subordinate on the shoulder. "You better pray that nothing happened to him, otherwise even I can't protect you."

Perhaps the two of them were talking too loudly.

Jiang Feng went to check on Huai Yan again and found that the boy was showing signs of waking up.

Sure enough, the next second, the boy opened his eyes without warning.

"Jiang Feng?!" Huai Yan's voice deepened, as if he had realized his current predicament.

He demanded sharply of the person in front of him, "What are you trying to do?!"

Jiang Feng glared fiercely at his subordinate, then gently comforted Huai Yan, saying, "Baby, I just wanted to invite you over to talk about something..."

"please?"

Huai Yan's face was gloomy and extremely displeased. His voice was also laced with sarcasm as he said, "Is this how you invite people over?"

Jiang Feng quickly smoothed things over, steer the conversation back to what he was about to say.

“Baby, I admit that what happened before was all my fault,” Jiang Feng said solemnly. “Now I apologize to you. Can you ask the Huai family to stop?”

Huai Yan paused, looking somewhat bewildered.

What do you mean by stopping? Does Jiang Feng know that the evidence was submitted to the court by them?

No, they probably don't know yet.

Huai Yi did this so perfectly that Jiang Feng couldn't possibly find out about it.

What else could it be?

After thinking for a few seconds, Huai Yan realized that Huai Yi might have been behind it all, and then everything became clear to her.

“Jiang Feng.” Huai Yan didn’t answer directly, but instead asked, “When you cheated on me, did you think about this day?”

Jiang Feng's body stiffened.

But he maintained his composure and replied, "Yanyan, I was sorry for what I did before, but now I have nothing to do with Lin Mu anymore, and I'll break up with Ye soon..."

"Then come begging to me again after you break up with your boyfriend," Huai Yan said calmly, unmoved.

However, for some reason, these words seemed to have enraged Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng suddenly changed his expression, his tone dropping sharply: "Yan Yan, I'm not joking with you."

After all, the person is now in his hands, and if they want to live, they have to do what he says.

But Huaiyan didn't indulge him; she just snorted coldly.

"What, can't keep up the act anymore?"

This sentence was like breaking through the last barrier between the two.

Jiang Feng suddenly flew into a rage.

He pointed at Huai Yan and roared, "Damn it, don't push your luck!"

He spoke to her so kindly, yet Huaiyan still didn't appreciate it.

All that talk he gave was for nothing.

"Who the hell are you calling shameless?!"

The change happened in an instant.

With lightning speed, Huai Yan twisted the hand that Jiang Feng was pointing at him sharply backward.

"Click".

It sounded like bones breaking, or like something bursting open.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

Jiang Feng's screams instantly echoed throughout the entire warehouse.

"Damn it! You dead bitch!" Jiang Feng's face turned pale, and he kicked Huai Yan in the stomach.

Caught off guard and restrained by his shackles, Huai Yan fell heavily to the ground.

However, he had already avenged himself.

The pain he felt at this moment was probably less than one ten-thousandth of the pain Jiang Feng felt when he lost his hand.

Seeing Huai Yan laugh for some unknown reason, Jiang Feng felt a surge of anger and blood rush to his heart.

"Damn it! What are you all standing there for?!"

Jiang Feng yelled at the people outside the warehouse, ordering them, "Get the hell out of here! You bunch of useless trash!"

Upon hearing this, Huaiyan immediately had a bad feeling.

He originally thought that there was only Jiang Feng and another man talking outside the warehouse.

Now it seems there are far more than just the two of them.

There were at least five, if not eight, people who rushed in.

...It's too late.

Huaiyan thought helplessly as she dodged someone's foot.

He didn't know if he could hold out until the Ghost King or Jin Xiuchen found out.

Perhaps he had already been killed by this group before that.

Eight against one is an incredibly easy task.

Before long, Huaiyan was beaten until he was exhausted and his whole body was limp.

He no longer had the strength to hide.
