Chapter 84 Bullying 2
Time ticked by, and Li Mingkai called again, his tone now laced with impatience and threat. Jiang Yining knew she couldn't avoid it any longer.
She took a deep breath, pulled a small but sharp folding fruit knife from her makeup bag, and gripped it tightly in her hand. The cool metallic touch brought a slight sense of security.
She tucked the knife into her jeans pocket and trudged heavily toward the elevator. Standing outside room 1818, she felt like a small animal cornered on the edge of a cliff, mustering her last bit of courage to knock.
The door opened, and Li Mingkai, wrapped only in a bath towel, his hair still wet and reeking of cloying shower gel, appeared. Upon seeing Jiang Yining, his eyes flashed with undisguised greed and smugness.
"Mr. Li, the documents." Jiang Yining forced herself to remain calm, handed over the document bag, and just wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
Li Mingkai grabbed her wrist with surprising force. He yanked her into the room, the heavy door slamming shut behind her, the file folder falling to the carpet with a thud.
"Ah, let me go, Li Mingkai, let me go!" Jiang Yining screamed in terror, struggling desperately.
"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?" Li Mingkai pinned her against the wall, his greasy breath hitting her face. "What's wrong with following me? You'll live a life of luxury, isn't that better than you working yourself to the bone outside? With your face and figure... it's such a waste to let them go to waste." His rough hands tried to touch her face.
Extreme fear triggered her survival instinct. Jiang Yining suddenly pulled out the folding knife hidden in her pocket and, relying on her sense of touch, slashed fiercely at the arm that Li Mingkai was holding onto!
"Ah—" Li Mingkai was caught off guard, and a sharp pain shot through his arm as blood gushed out! He released his grip in pain.
Jiang Yining seized this critical opportunity, turned around and rushed to the door, her fingers trembling as she tried to turn the doorknob!
"You bitch." Li Mingkai was consumed by pain and rage. His viciousness was fully revealed. Just as Jiang Yining was about to open the door a crack, he grabbed her hair from behind again and slammed her to the ground. Immediately afterward, two powerful slaps landed squarely on her face.
"Snap... Snap..." The crisp sound echoed in the room.
Jiang Yining was beaten until her vision blurred, her cheeks instantly turning red, and a strong taste of blood filled her mouth. Humiliation and pain made her vision black out, and tears streamed down her face. She curled up on the ground, instinctively protecting herself, crying out in a broken voice, "Please...let me go...please..."
Looking at her tear-streaked, disheveled appearance, Li Mingkai's lust burned even brighter. He grinned maliciously and roughly tore at her top: "Scream! Let's see who can save you today. This whole floor is mine."
He grinned maliciously and reached out to roughly tear at the collar of her shirt, exposing her delicate skin, which smelled of lemon, to the air, further stimulating his lust.
Just as Jiang Yining closed her eyes in despair, feeling the world plunge into darkness...
"Bang--"
A deafening crash. The heavy solid wood door was kicked open from the outside by a terrifying force. The lock snapped, and wood chips flew everywhere.
Against the blinding light of the corridor, a figure like a demon from hell stormed in—it was Xie Shiyan. His eyes burned with a world-destroying rage.
When his gaze swept over Jiang Yining, who was lying on the ground with disheveled clothes, a swollen and bloodied face, and empty and desperate eyes, his anger instantly transformed into a tangible, icy killing intent.
His eyes were bloodshot, and all he could see was his precious treasure.
Her cheeks were swollen and marked with clear finger marks, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, her shirt was torn, and her bare shoulders bore red marks from the struggle. Her eyes were filled with shattered fear and tears...
Almost simultaneously, Luo Zhitong rushed in, panting. Seeing Jiang Yining's miserable state, she exclaimed in shock and immediately took off her coat and rushed over to wrap it around Jiang Yining's trembling body.
"Ningning!" Xie Shiyan's heart felt as if it had been crushed by an invisible hand, and a violent rage capable of burning everything instantly devoured all his reason.
Like a lion that had been completely enraged, he strode up to Li Mingkai and, without giving the other man any chance to react, gripped his neck tightly with his iron-like hand, kicked him off the ground, and then slammed him hard against the solid wall.
"Ugh!" Li Mingkai's scream was choked in his throat, and the sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.
But this is just the beginning.
Xie Shiyan's fists carried earth-shattering power, one punch, two punches, three punches, mercilessly smashing into Li Mingkai's face and body, each punch accompanied by the muffled sound of bones shattering and splattering blood. He was destroying it like a piece of trash, trying to completely crush his opponent.
The secretary, Lin, who rushed in right after the "President," was also horrified by the bloody and violent scene. But he was even more worried that Xie Shiyan would lose control and kill someone. He quickly shouted, "Take Madam to the hospital first. Leave this to me."
Xie Shiyan abruptly stopped. His bloodshot eyes turned to Jiang Yining, who was curled up on the ground, and the overwhelming killing intent was instantly replaced by immense fear and heartache.
As if all his strength had been suddenly drained, he staggered and knelt down beside Jiang Yining. His trembling hands carefully tried to touch her swollen and bloodied cheeks, but he was afraid of hurting her.
