Cheng Xiuqi held the dagger in his hand, smiled contemptuously, and said with disdain: "Nothing, just lie here quietly."

As he spoke, he repeatedly scratched Pei Zhiyu's skin with the back of the knife. He didn't really mean to hurt her. This was more like a form of torture, destroying her spirit bit by bit.

Seeing that her eyes were still blurry, Cheng Xiuqi's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed her throat fiercely and only let go when she was almost suffocated.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Pei Zhiyu lay on the ground, coughing violently, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. "What are you going to do?"

Cheng Xiuqi started laughing again, and the big men behind him also let out a series of disgusting laughs.

"You'll find out soon enough," he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the men emitting a foul smell walked towards him from front and back.

Fear invaded her brain, and Pei Zhiyu subconsciously wanted to escape, but she had no strength at all. She gritted her teeth and used her palms to support the ground to get up, but in the end she only grabbed a handful of dirt.

After being discovered by Cheng Xiuqi, he dragged her back, pressed her head to the ground, and forced her to open her eyes and watch everything.

Seeing Pei Zhiyu's tears continuously falling, Cheng Xiuqi was even more proud. He patted her face in his kind tone and comforted her: "Why are you crying? I told you to just lie down... As for me, I won't hit you."

It was strange what he said.

Moreover, those big men did not stay beside Pei Zhiyu, but instead stepped over her and walked towards the other end.

Pei Zhiyu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Cheng Xiuqi with shock in his eyes.

Zhongyue! ! !

He wanted these people to go...

"Are you crazy?" Pei Zhiyu asked angrily, suppressing his discomfort.

Cheng Xiuqi didn't feel angry at all. "How can you say I'm crazy? When your good sister betrayed me, didn't she ever think this day would come?"

As he spoke, he dragged Pei Zhiyu and turned behind him, watching the group getting closer and closer to Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue hadn't woken up yet and was slumped to the ground. Cheng Xiuqi deliberately stopped the others and reminded them, "It's more fun to play while you're awake."

"Cheng Xiuqi!"

"Hey! Haha, you're quite energetic." He suddenly pressed Pei Zhiyu's face to the ground and said, "Calm down, the real show hasn't started yet. What's the point of you being so excited now, right?"

His face was covered with dust, and his mouth and nose were full of dirt.

Pei Zhiyu's tears wet the dry soil and then mixed with the wet soil and returned to her face.

Embarrassed, awkward, and powerless.

Cheng Xiuqi was like a madman with a shield, invulnerable to swords and guns, and unmoved by anything. He was only concerned with venting the twisted anger in his heart.

The men were hired by him, so they obeyed him naturally. The shortest one among them walked forward first, squatted down and slapped Zhong Yue in the face. Seeing that she still didn't react, he didn't know where he got the ice water from, and poured a bucket of ice water on her.

In the cold winter, who can withstand such hardship?

Zhong Yue's facial features wrinkled coldly, and he coughed due to the water. Looking at the elongated figure on the ground, extreme panic and goose bumps broke out at the same time.

She raised her head, looked up at the men in front of her, opened her mouth but found herself speechless.

The man who poured water walked forward and easily tore a corner of her clothes, revealing half of her shoulder. He could no longer control the obscene expression on his face, and even put his head close to her neck and sniffed it.

Her stomach was churning uncomfortably. She wanted to struggle, but she had no strength at all. Her fists came out limp, as if she was trying to resist but also to give in.

"Yo, chick, are you taking the initiative? Haha."

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it!"

"That's right, if you don't go up, let me go first."

That laughter was like a curse, or like a poisonous snake that could not be driven away, wrapping its tail around its prey until she was completely unable to move and had lost the desire to struggle, and then it would devour her completely.

"Zhong Yue——!"

A heart-wrenching cry came from Pei Zhiyu's mouth.

But apart from this, she could do nothing but watch as the dark shadows enveloped her friend.

The distance between them was just right, allowing her to see everything but not be able to do anything.

Pei Zhiyu dug her fingers into the ground tightly, crying, "Cheng Xiuqi, why on earth did you do this? She was so good to you before..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp blade against the side of his face, this time it was the blade and not the back.

"Good? She's good to me?!" Cheng Xiuqi was finally provoked and began to pour out his resentment. "She wanted to be with me in the first place, just to use me to fight against her parents. Don't you think I don't know?"

"I've put up with everything. For over a decade, I've been obedient to her, and yet she betrayed me and got involved with that Doctor Zhou!"

"You betrayed her!"

"She betrayed me!" Cheng Xiuqi roared, and his hands became more powerful, pinching Pei Zhiyu until she had no strength to refute.

"Do you think that's what I wanted to do? The company's short on cash. How am I going to convince the bosses to spend money if I don't? What do you spoiled little girls know? You only care about the present and not the long-term situation!"

"She wanted to break up over this little thing and even went to my parents to gossip about it. She knew my parents were conservative and couldn't stand this kind of thing!"

A strong feeling of suffocation came over Pei Zhiyu, and his body instinctively wanted to struggle, trying hard to pry Cheng Xiuqi's hands apart.

But this little bit of strength is like a small insect trying to knock down an elephant, and in the end it will only be trampled to death by the elephant.
