In the main hall of the room, two men and one woman were stacked on a mahogany round table.
With people acting as human shields in front and behind him, Duanmu Lei fearlessly said, "Gu Shen, you are courting death, daring to appear in front of me."
Ji Xiaoxiao stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind her.
"I missed you, so I came." Ji Xiaoxiao tugged at her collar, her lips uttering softly, each word like the ambiguous words between lovers.
Duanmu Lei's lower body tensed, and the woman in front of him let out a suppressed cry.
"Young Master." The woman turned around, her eyes brimming with tears.
Duanmu Lei slapped her hard across the face. "Shut up."
The woman had heard from the other women in the pavilion that Duanmu Lei was a combination of angel and devil; when he was happy, he would spend lavishly on you, but when he disliked you, he would want to get rid of you as soon as possible. The woman shrank back, not daring to act coquettishly.
Duanmu Lei nodded, then turned to look behind him. "You continue moving."
Ji Xiaoxiao watched the farce with an air of calm and composure, showing no trace of the shyness one would expect from a young lady.
"Aren't you going to call for help?" After a long while, Duanmu Lei asked impatiently, feeling slightly nauseous.
Duanmu Lei raised his arrogant face, panting heavily, and said intermittently, "You won't... touch me... uh, faster, I know the real culprit who killed your father... Gu Zhige, ah... huff, kill me, and you won't get anything..."
"The real killer who murdered my father?" Ji Xiaoxiao murmured.
It seems that Gu Zhige's death has far-reaching implications!
Beads of sweat glistened and slid down his chest, disappearing into his sensual inverted triangle shape. Duanmu Lei rose and fell, his thick, black hair whipping around in sprays of sweat, a blush rising on his perfect profile, asserting his presence from every angle.
“I don’t believe you,” Ji Xiaoxiao said firmly.
Duanmu Lei paused, his smug expression freezing on his face. "You don't believe me?"
Ji Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly, "Who in the capital doesn't know that Duanmu Lei, the second young master of the Zhengye Marquis's mansion, is an incompetent good-for-nothing? My father is the Duke of Zhenguo, a high-ranking official in the court. Do you think you're qualified to know the inside story behind his gruesome death?"
Ji Xiaoxiao's words were a blatant insult to Duanmu Lei.
"If it were Duanmu Sen, your own brother, I would be willing to listen. But as for you, a spoiled brat who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, what makes you worthy of my trust?"
When Duanmu Sen was mentioned, Duanmu Lei flew into a rage. He grabbed the woman in front of him by the neck, his handsome face contorted into a ferocious and terrifying expression.
"In what way am I inferior to Duanmu Sen?"
Duanmu Lei considered himself exceptionally talented and learned, and his intelligence was no less than that of Duanmu Sen. However, because he was his father's second son and Duanmu Sen was the eldest son, he was always controlled by Duanmu Sen.
Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head, lowered her head and looked closely, "How can you compare?"
Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Duanmu Lei's manhood, remained silent for a long time, her face a perfect blend of disdain and pity.
Without warning, Duanmu Lei strangled the woman to death. He released her, and his lower body movements became faster and louder.
"Gu Shen, there's plenty of time. One day, you'll kneel down and beg me."
Duanmu Lei shouted, "Can't take it anymore? Want to die?"
The man behind him hurriedly shook his head, but some things are beyond his control. Watching a living person die right before his eyes at such close range, the man had no interest left.
Duanmu Lei waited for a moment, then turned his head and pushed the person away.
"Useless trash."
Duanmu Lei stepped between the man's legs, and the man cried out in pain.
The sound, like a sharp arrow, echoed through the sky, startling those in the dead of night.
Outside the room, the guards and servants remained silent, steadfastly holding their posts.
"Brother, are you really not going to go take a look?" the young man asked, full of youthful arrogance.
"It's nothing, it's the second young master."
"What's wrong with the second young master?"
"You're new here and don't know, but our Marquis's second young master is no saint. No matter if you're male or female, as long as you're stunningly beautiful, you can't escape his clutches. He's also a fickle man; today he's a new favorite showered with favor, but tomorrow he might be buried in a mass grave."
The young man's mouth hung open in disbelief. "They're all dead?"
"Shh, shut up, we can't meddle in the master's business."
The young man shut his mouth, came to his senses, and stared straight ahead.
...
Inside the room, a fierce look flashed in Duanmu Lei's eyes.
Waste money deserves to die.
Duanmu Lei casually picked up a large vase next to him, raised it high, and smashed it down hard. The man's head was cracked open, and specks of red and white substances slowly spilled out.
After kicking him several times, Duanmu Lei's anger subsided considerably.
"What are you doing here?" Duanmu Lei was completely naked.
Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I'll kill you."
"Kill me?" Duanmu Lei laughed. "With your abilities?"
Ji Xiaoxiao said in a deep voice, "Just me."
"It's good for people to be confident, but if they're too confident, they become arrogant, and arrogant people generally don't have a good ending." Duanmu Lei, who rarely indulges in sensual pleasures, spoke the truth.
Ji Xiaoxiao wholeheartedly agreed, "That's right, arrogant people usually don't have a good ending."
Ji Xiaoxiao tilted her head, a faint smile appearing on her face. "Duanmu Lei, you are such an arrogant person, so you will not have a good end."
After speaking, Ji Xiaoxiao stepped forward.
A dark shadow flashed by, and a grown man suddenly rushed in front of him. Duanmu Lei was startled and staggered a few steps, a bone-chilling cold rising from the soles of his feet. The evaporating sweat on his body carried heat, and Duanmu Lei's body temperature dropped rapidly. He couldn't stop shivering, and his teeth chattered.
