What happened in Chapter 187
Lin Yiluo clutched her empty pockets, her fingertips turning white. She had left her phone in the private room. The crisscrossing corridors before her were like a maze, each wall lamp emitting an unfamiliar, cold light.
She gripped her skirt tightly in a panic, catching a glimpse of a well-dressed man walking by, and almost instinctively followed him. She wanted to ask for directions, but suddenly realized she hadn't even memorized the room number; her only hope was to borrow a phone to call her brother.
The man kept his phone pressed to his ear, walking briskly.
Lin Yilu followed closely behind. As they turned the corner, the other person pushed open a hidden door embedded in the wall and began walking down a steep slope. A cold wind carrying the smell of cheap perfume hit her face, and the girl stopped in her tracks. A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on her back. This place was too gloomy. But when she looked back, there was no light at all on the path she had come from. She could only bite her lip and grit her teeth to follow.
"Squeak—" When the heavy wooden door was pushed open, Lin Yiluo seemed to be frozen in place, as if she had been struck by a spell.
What lay before them was no ordinary passageway, but rather a lavish underground dance hall.
The rotating light bulb cast an ambiguous glow on every corner, and the air was filled with the foul smell of alcohol and tobacco. Those "big bosses" who were usually dressed in suits were now laughing and joking with heavily made-up women.
Lin Yiluo was horrified. She looked at the many people in front of her who were naked. She had never seen such a scene before. It was disgusting.
The immense shock caused her to feel physically nauseous; she felt like vomiting.
All around her were unpleasant noises, and she inadvertently witnessed an even more disgusting scene: three women and one man, they were...
That man was fat and greasy; she didn't want to stay there anymore and wanted to leave.
Lin Yiluo looked behind her and saw that the door behind her had been blocked by a couple having an affair, and there was water on the ground.
She wanted to find another place to leave; the air smelled foul.
…………
Lin Yi'an waited for a while but still didn't see Yi Luo. He began to wonder if the baby had gotten lost, but the bathroom was very close by.
"Send some men to find the young lady, quickly."
"yes."
When Mo Ziyuan arrived, Lin Yi'an's bodyguards had already been deployed. He casually grabbed one of the bodyguards and began questioning him.
"What are you looking for?"
Bodyguard: "Miss hasn't been home for a long time, so the young master sent us to find her."
"How long have you been searching?"
"It's been a while, but I haven't found it."
Mo Ziyuan immediately sensed something was wrong and headed straight for the underground dance hall.
…………
"Hey, beautiful lady, what brings you here all alone?"
A flippant voice sounded from behind her, and Lin Yiluo froze. She turned around and met a pair of lewd eyes. The man, dressed only in a shirt, was looking her up and down, his gaze like sticky worms crawling over her collar and hem.
"Judging by your clothes, you've come to the wrong place, haven't you?" The man licked his lips and approached step by step. "But since you're here, why don't you keep the older brothers company for a bit?"
"Get out of here, stay away from me."
The little girl never said anything powerful, even when she was being bullied by Mo Ziyuan.
She would only scold him with tears in her eyes, calling him "outrageous and perverted."
That soft, sweet voice had absolutely no intimidating power.
The man became even more excited upon hearing her voice, his lewd eyes scanning her with disgust.
"If I leave, who will make you happy?"
The man started laughing, tugging at Lin Yiluo's clothes as he laughed.
"Rip—" The crisp sound of fabric tearing was particularly jarring in the noisy dance hall. A large section of Lin Yiluo's skirt was ripped open, revealing her fair legs. People gathered around, forming layers to watch the spectacle, a cacophony of laughter and whistles like sharp knives.
Gunshots rang out, and Mo Ziyuan arrived. The surroundings instantly fell silent. Most of the people here knew Mo Ziyuan. He was always kind and gentle in public, and few people had ever seen him like this.
At this moment, Mo Ziyuan was completely different from before. His face was devoid of any warmth, and his eyes held unfathomable abysses.
The man, who had been so arrogant just moments before, turned deathly pale in an instant. His legs went weak and he nearly collapsed to his knees, staggering backward.
Mo Ziyuan pointed his finger gun at the man's head, and Lin Yiluo immediately threw herself into Mo Ziyuan's arms.
"Brother Ziyuan."
Her voice was full of grievance, and Mo Ziyuan felt a pang of heartache. He could feel the girl's shoulders trembling and the dampness on her clothes. He lowered the gun; it would be too much of a pity to let her die like this.
At this moment, Lin Yi'an's bodyguards also arrived, and the orderly bodyguards immediately surrounded the area.
When Lin Yi'an arrived, he saw Lin Yiluo in the man's arms.
He was filled with regret; Lin Yi'an shouldn't have brought her to this place.
"Baby…"
Shi Jingsheng also arrived. Looking at the scene before him, he revealed an expression rarely seen in public, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
"I'll take her away first."
Letting Shi Jingsheng take her away now is undoubtedly the best option.
Lin Yiluo was also very obedient and followed Shi Jingsheng directly away from the scene.
Lin Yi'an looked at Mo Ziyuan, but before he could speak, Mo Ziyuan moved closer to him and gently tugged at the man's sleeve.
"Brother Yi'an, I'm so scared."
There was a hint of doubt in Lin Yi'an's eyes.
What are you doing here?
“Brother Jingsheng brought me here. When I arrived, I ran into the bodyguards who were looking for Sister Yiluo. They said Sister Yiluo was lost, so I came with them to look for her.”
"Where did this gun come from?"
"My bodyguard gave it to me."
The doubt in the man's eyes dissipated; no matter what, Mo Ziyuan was just a child.
He looked around and spoke to the bodyguard beside him.
"Watch out, none of you can leave. You pack up first, and I'll deal with it when I get back."
"yes."
…………
Shi Jingsheng originally planned to take her to the top-floor suite, but she was afraid that it would frighten her further, so he could only take her home.
When Mo Ziyuan and Lin Yi'an returned, Shi Jingsheng had just come out of the little girl's room.
Lin Yi'an stepped forward and asked anxiously.
"How is the baby?"
"This is not good." Shi Jingsheng rubbed his temples and said slowly, "I've examined her. She has a minor scratch on her neck, and there's nothing else seriously wrong with her body, but the psychological trauma is severe. You saw what happened in the dance hall; she was clearly terrified. I suggest we find a professional psychologist as soon as possible."
"good."
After hearing what he said, Lin Yi'an immediately went into the room.
He stood by the window, looking at the girl with her head buried between her legs, his voice soft.
"Baby."
Lin Yiluo raised her head and began to cry bitterly.
Her crying grew louder and louder, with occasional sobs and tears sliding down her cheeks, landing not only on the bed but also in Lin Yi'an's heart.
He was in even more pain than Lin Yiluo; his heart was aching.
"It's okay, baby. Your brother is here. It's all your fault. Your brother will protect you from now on."
Mo Ziyuan also wanted to go in; he was quite persistent, but Shi Jingsheng stopped him.
"Going in now won't do you any good. Listen to me, you stay here."
"I want to go in."
“You can’t go in now. Yi’an is inside. He’ll take good care of her. Wait until he comes out before you go in.”
Mo Ziyuan was very dissatisfied that he couldn't go in.
“Ziyuan, listen to me. I’ve observed Yiluo carefully, and her psychological problems may be more serious than we thought. You should think carefully about what to do.”
…………
It was indeed very serious, so serious that after Mo Ziyuan and Lin Yi'an came out, he went inside himself, but the girl didn't look at him. The intimacy between him and her was far less than that between Lin Yi'an and her.
He wanted to hug the little girl on the bed, but Lin Yiluo kept backing away.
"Let me hug you."
The little girl shook her head. Apart from Lin Yi'an, whenever anyone else touched her, she would be reminded of the scene she had witnessed there. Seeing those men and women made her feel disgusted, and she wanted to vomit.
Mo Ziyuan knew she was scared, so he could only sit by the bed and talk to her about these pointless things.
"Baby, I renovated that swing and had a lot of flowers planted nearby."
Lin Yiluo remained silent.
"Baby, I bought you pudding."
Lin Yiluo remained silent.
"Baby, shall we go take a bath?"
The little girl finally reacted; she shook her head, not wanting to see exposed skin.
But she thought it was dirty.
"Where's my brother?"
She wanted to find Yi'an; she could just cover her eyes and ask Yi'an for help.
Mo Ziyuan seemed to understand her thoughts.
"Yi'an went out. He has some urgent business. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"not good."
The girl refused without even thinking.
