His dark hair was wet and clung to his forehead and cheeks, making his face appear even paler than paper, except for his bloodshot eyes.
They looked like demons from hell.
"Let me go! Get out! All of you get out!"
His voice was extremely hoarse, and his body was still struggling violently, with veins bulging in his arms, neck, and forehead.
It took several adult men all their strength to barely subdue him, but each of them was flushed and clearly struggling to hold on.
A family doctor in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses stood a few steps away, carrying a medicine box, looking trembling. His complexion was not much better than the man's.
He held a prepared tranquilizer in his hand, and several attempts to get closer were met with resistance from the man's bloodthirsty gaze and increasingly violent struggles.
The bodyguards were beaten up like this by the young master, so he, a doctor, really didn't want to risk his life!
"Young...Young Master...please calm down, you'll feel better after the injection..."
The doctor's voice trembled uncontrollably, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He dared not go any closer; in this situation, let alone administering an injection, even getting slightly close could result in him being killed by the out-of-control young master.
Sometime later, the old butler stood beside the doctor with a furrowed brow, and the wrinkles on his face seemed deeper than usual.
He looked at the familiar yet exhausting scene before him, his eyes filled with deep helplessness and a hint of barely perceptible sorrow.
Such scenes would play out every now and then, with the young master's madness becoming more and more severe and uncontrollable with each episode.
He even began to suspect that the Lu family's attempt to bring good fortune through marriage was another futile effort, and might even hasten the young master's madness.
Just when things were at a stalemate, a slender figure calmly stepped forward.
It's Zi Xi.
Her footsteps were light, treading over the shards and mess scattered on the ground.
All attention was focused on the crazed young master of the Lu family, and for a moment no one stopped her.
"Let me try."
The clear, cool voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to instantly silence the noisy and chaotic scene.
Everyone stared at her in astonishment.
The bodyguards unconsciously loosened their grip, and Young Master Lu almost broke free.
The family doctor adjusted his glasses, which had slipped down his nose, and looked incredulously at the young woman who had suddenly barged in, the one who was nominally there to bring good fortune to the family.
The butler just went to convey the young master's words, so why hasn't this young mistress who was supposed to be married off to bring good luck left yet?
The old butler's eyes were filled with astonishment and suspicion. His lips moved as if he wanted to scold her for being ridiculous and tell her to leave this place of trouble, but he had no right to do so.
They could only remain speechless.
In a frenzied state, Lu Qianhan's crimson eyes suddenly locked onto Zi Xi, his gaze filled with a violent and destructive desire.
Zi Xi seemed oblivious to the disapproving looks directed at her, as if she were a madwoman.
Her gaze was calm and still, fixed solely on Lu Qianhan, quickly taking in his violently heaving chest and his limbs that were twitching slightly from exertion.
Her gaze didn't seem to be looking at a crazed person, but rather like a doctor examining a patient's symptoms.
Just as she got within three steps, something unexpected happened.
Lu Qianhan, who had been held down, suddenly unleashed a terrifying burst of strength from somewhere and broke free from the grip of her right hand.
The large, veiny, and bony hand clenched into a fist, carrying a sharp gust of wind, and swung mercilessly straight at Zi Xi's face.
If that punch landed, Zi Xi, with her frail physique, would be seriously injured if not killed.
"Young Madam, be careful!"
"Get out of the way!"
Exclamations erupted.
The family doctor even closed his eyes in distress.
