Three o'clock in the morning.
Chu Beiyuan's villa.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
There was a knock on the carved iron door.
The housekeeper cursed and opened the door a little.
A cold wind mixed with a strong smell of blood blew in his face, and the biting chill made him shiver.
“Plop—”
A bloody corpse fell to the ground with a thud, hitting the ground heavily.
The wound on the corpse's neck was bleeding, and the blood flowed down the collar and soaked into the ground.
Half of a blood-stained blade was stuck in the curled flesh, and the blade glowed coldly in the dim light.
"ah--!"
The butler's eyes widened and a shrill scream escaped from his throat.
He staggered back, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, fainting.
The noise at the gate quickly alarmed others.
At this time, Chu Beiyuan was pacing back and forth in the study.
He frowned and felt restless.
Who rescued Gu Youran?
It's obvious that every step of the plan is flawless.
The surveillance in the hotel was also completely destroyed, leaving no clues.
But Lux's death has already made the Third Young Master furious.
He must come up with a solution as soon as possible.
"Bang--"
The study door was flung open.
Chu Beiyuan was about to lose his temper when his subordinates' report made him stunned for a moment.
"Say it again? Who died?"
The subordinate lowered his head and said tremblingly: "It's...it's Brother Qiang."
Chu Beiyuan's pupils shrank.
Ah Qiang is the most skilled of the bodyguards and is always cautious. How could he...
He immediately turned around and rushed out of the study, with a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.
The corpse was Aqiang.
His right hand was chopped into pieces, but his left hand was tightly clutching a piece of paper.
Chu Beiyuan squatted down, forcefully pried open Aqiang's stiff fingers, and took out the blood-stained note.
There was a line of words written crookedly on the note:
[Mr. Chu, a meeting gift. The next one will be even more surprising.]
Chu Beiyuan's brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
He stood up and looked around.
The cold wind howled, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the moonlight, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering in the dark.
"Investigate." He said coldly, "Everyone, immediately seal off the scene and find the clues."
More than a dozen men moved quickly, and the sound of their footsteps was particularly harsh in the silent night.
Chu Beiyuan returned to the study and spread the note on the table.
A chill ran up his spine, making him feel inexplicably uneasy.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
An anonymous number sent a video with an eye-catching title:
【Your next surprise】
Chu Beiyuan's hands trembled slightly, his fingertips hovered over the screen for a moment, and finally clicked it.
The video starts playing.
In the dim room, Mu Xuewei lay on the big bed of the hotel, her red transparent suspender skirt soaked with sweat and clinging to her skin.
Her cheeks flushed unnaturally, her eyes were blurred, her fingertips dug deep into her palms, and her voice was hoarse, "Beiyuan...save me...I feel so uncomfortable..."
The camera moved slowly, and the picture swept past her.
A man lay there unconscious, his eyes closed and his upper body naked.
Chu Beiyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
That was Ajiu, one of his most trusted bodyguards, who was known as the "Double Blade" together with Aqiang.
But at this moment, Ajiu was like a body without a soul, lying quietly beside Mu Xuewei.
What made Chu Beiyuan feel even more suffocated was that the hotel in the video was the hotel where Lucas died, and the room was the presidential suite A01.
The skirt Mu Xuewei was wearing was exactly the same as the one Gu Youran was wearing at the time.
All this seemed to be a merciless mockery of his incompetence.
History was repeating itself before his eyes.
In the video, Mu Xuewei struggled to climb onto Ajiu's body and unbuckled the man's belt with trembling hands.
Her tears mixed with lipstick spread across her face, and she looked so desperate.
When her fingers touched the man's waist and abdomen, the screen suddenly went black.
Only one line of blood-red words remained on the screen:
【I will pay you back double for the medicine you gave her.】
"No!" Chu Beiyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his phone was almost crushed by him.
He kicked over the mahogany coffee table, sending broken pieces of porcelain flying everywhere, one of which scratched the oil painting on the wall.
Mu Xuewei in the painting is wearing a red long dress, with a slightly raised corner of her lips and gentle eyes, as if she is looking at him silently.
And at this moment, a crack ran across her cheek, tearing that tenderness in two.
Chu Beiyuan stared at the portrait, his chest heaving violently.
He had painted it for Mu Xuewei himself, and every stroke was filled with his fascination for her.
And now, she in the painting seemed to be mocking his incompetence.
Laugh at him for not being able to protect the person he loves the most.
Chu Beiyuan suddenly opened the door of the study and rushed out of the villa like crazy.
He jumped into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out like an arrow.
Chu Beiyuan's car drove straight to the hotel where Mu Xuewei was staying.
Suddenly, he noticed several cars following closely in his rearview mirror.
He stepped on the accelerator and the speed of the car soared again, trying to shake off the car behind.
However, the opponent was obviously well-trained, and no matter how he accelerated or changed lanes, he could not pull away.
Suddenly, a glaring warning light came on ahead, a roadblock appeared in the middle of the road, and several uniformed personnel waved to signal the driver to stop.
Chu Beiyuan's heart tightened.
When I came back just now, the road here was clearly unobstructed. How come there is suddenly a roadblock?
There's no time left.
The car accelerated suddenly and rushed through the roadblock.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, with only one thought in his mind:
