Chapter 118
Wen Shu was roughly dragged into the carriage and saw a man sitting inside wearing a light purple round-necked robe. An old scar ran from the center of his forehead to the corner of his right eye, making his dark and thin face look somewhat ferocious.
Wen Shu was certain that she had never seen him before.
"Who are you?" Her wrist was gripped tightly by the man in purple, the pain almost numbing her. Wen Shu gritted her teeth and tried to pull her hand away, but it wouldn't budge. "What do you want?!"
The woman's struggling and angry appearance aroused the man's interest. He Chang grabbed her chin, the scar at the corner of his eye twitched, and he revealed a chilling smile. "What are you doing? Such a beautiful woman, of course we should take her back to our manor and treat her well."
His gaze was fixed on Wen Shu's neck, then moved down to her chest, and finally to her soft waist, his eyes filled with undisguised lust and lewdness.
He even tried to press himself against her, making no attempt to conceal his desire within the cramped carriage.
Wen Shu trembled, no less than when she was in Anyang, when she was kidnapped by the bandits and taken up the mountain, and almost violated by the gloomy man.
What is the helplessness of being in dire straits? No one understands it better than her.
Wen Shu opened her eyes wide, her back taut like a fully drawn string, ready to self-destruct at the slightest provocation.
"You kidnap women, do you know what crime that is?"
He Chang leaned close to her cheek, inhaling the fragrance with intense absorption, his expression ethereal. As if he had heard a funny joke, he nonchalantly said, "A crime? Who dares to accuse the He family?"
As his palm touched her delicate skin, He Chang ignored the woman's resistance and reached into her sleeve along the back of her hand. "What's the use of that shop you run? Don't compete with my sister anymore. Once I take you into my household, what gold and silver jewelry do you want? Hmm?"
Wen Shu felt the man's touch and felt so nauseous she almost vomited. Suddenly, she realized that his surname was He!
"Let me go!" Wen Shu gritted her teeth, forcing herself to ignore the touch and calm down. "Do you think I have no one backing me? That day, Lord Liang from the Shanzhou government came in person and said that the shop had nothing to do with the He family! Don't you think that if I really had no power or influence, would Lord Liang have protected me?!"
Wen Shu was, after all, Wen Tao's daughter; how could she not know how to use someone else's power in officialdom?
Their imposing manner truly intimidated the idle and dissolute young man.
He Chang was taken aback, his hand that had been wandering around her waist loosened, and he squinted, lost in thought.
Seizing the opportunity, Wen Shu bit his arm hard, shoved the aching He Chang away, and jumped off the carriage without looking back.
However, the enemy outnumbered her, and Wen Shu had only run a few steps when she was suddenly pinned to the ground by people rushing out from behind.
The sharp sand chafed his palm, and blood welled up immediately.
Behind him came He Chang's furious roar: "Bring that bitch here! How dare she bite me?!"
Several people grabbed Wen Shu's arm and were about to drag her away when a dark shadow suddenly flashed before their eyes. Before they could see clearly, they felt a sharp pain in their chests and were all sent flying backward!
With a loud "bang."
The sound of flesh being smashed on the ground is enough to make one's teeth ache.
Wen Shu looked up in a daze and saw that the person who came was Cui Pei.
Cui Pei hadn't expected that just because he was a little late, a group of people would suddenly appear halfway through his journey. Judging from the situation just now, Fourth Sister was almost in trouble!
Fortunately, the eldest brother was shrewd and ordered him to come along; otherwise, who knows what terrible things might have happened!
"Where did this nobody come from? Do you even know who I am?!"
He Chang pressed a handkerchief against his bleeding wound and was helped down from the carriage by two servants. He looked at Cui Pei, who was all alone, with an extremely arrogant expression.
Cui Pei helped Wen Shu up and saw that her palms were covered in blood, and his heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, if I go back now, the boss will definitely skin me alive.
