Li Peiyu dared not relax for a moment, continuing to spray water on Huang Mao, preventing him from getting up. The force of the water made Huang Mao look disheveled in the water, splashing water everywhere.
Suddenly, the door creaked open. Li Peiyu's heart skipped a beat, and her gaze instantly fell on the doorway. Another one? Li Peiyu's heart pounded, her mind went blank, and she had absolutely no idea what to do.
"Where is he?" a clear voice asked from outside.
"Uncle, I'm here, save me!" Huang Mao shouted weakly, his voice full of urgency and distress.
Li Peiyu was flustered and at a loss, her breathing became rapid, and she gripped the showerhead tightly with both hands, not knowing what to do next.
At that moment, a silver-haired man walked into the bathroom, and Li Peiyu recognized him at a glance.
It was the silver-haired man I saw that day when I broke the porcelain in the fifth dimension; he also had letter tattoos on his neck.
The tattoo looked particularly glaring under the light, as if it exuded a dangerous aura.
It was none other than Qi Juechen, the boss of the Fifth Dimension. And this blond thug was Qi Juechen's nephew, Yang Kai.
Taking advantage of Li Peiyu's distraction, Yang Kai, the blond-haired man, climbed out of the bathtub, his face contorted with rage. He viciously grabbed Li Peiyu's neck and roared, "I'll kill you."
Li Peiyu suddenly felt short of breath, her face turned bright red, and she desperately tried to pry Yang Kai's hands off her.
Just as she was struggling, the necklace around Li Peiyu's neck was exposed due to the violent movements.
Qi Juechen had sharp eyes and recognized at a glance that it was the necklace that Lu Yuzhi had once worn.
"Stop! Let her go!" Qi Juechen shouted.
Yang Kai remained unmoved, still gripping Li Peiyu's neck tightly, and roared angrily, "You woman, pour hot water on me!"
Qi Juechen's face was gloomy. He strode closer and shouted again, "Let go!" His voice was like thunder, full of authority.
Yang Kai was filled with doubt and confusion, but under Qi Juechen's authority, he reluctantly let go of her hand.
Enraged, Qi Juechen slapped Yang Kai hard across the face, then kicked him hard, sending Yang Kai staggering three meters back.
"Uncle, why did you hit me?" Yang Kai covered his face, looking aggrieved and confused.
"I told you, no trouble." Qi Juechen's gaze was sharp, and his tone was icy.
“She…” Yang Kai wanted to argue.
"Get out!" Qi Juechen roared, his eyes wide with rage, the entire bathroom seeming to tremble.
Although Yang Kai was unconvinced, he didn't dare to linger and scrambled out of the room.
Qi Juechen looked at Li Peiyu, who was trembling and clutching the showerhead, and asked, "Are you that 80 million beauty from that day?"
Li Peiyu was still deeply immersed in the fierce battle, her thoughts in disarray, unable to come to her senses for a long time. Her lips trembled, as if frozen, and she couldn't utter a single word.
"Was the necklace around your neck given to you by Brother Yu?" Qi Juechen asked cautiously, his careful demeanor as if he were afraid of accidentally offending the person in front of him.
Li Peiyu forced herself to calm down, trying to quell the turmoil in her heart, and nodded gently.
With a thud, Qi Juechen knelt down. "Pretty girl, my nephew offended me today. He didn't know you were Brother Yu's man. Please, please don't tell Brother Yu."
I remember that day when the porcelain was broken, the silver-haired man in front of me called Lu Yuzhi "Brother Yu" repeatedly, and now he is kneeling down to her in such a humble manner.
He was so afraid of Lu Yuzhi, or rather, Lu Yuzhi was so terrifying.
"Where is my friend? Where did you take her?" Li Peiyu's eyes were full of anxiety.
"Oh, I'll go find it now." With that, Qi Juechen strode out like a gust of wind.
After a while, Qi Juechen hurriedly returned. As soon as he came back, he knelt down in front of Li Peiyu again, "Don't worry, pretty girl, your friend is still unconscious next door, completely unharmed, really."
"Beautiful lady, today is truly a huge misunderstanding. Please, have mercy and spare my nephew," Qi Juechen pleaded obsequiously.
"Misunderstanding? Harassing someone in the street, acting like a hooligan, and even daring to kidnap someone—how can this be a misunderstanding?" Li Peiyu was furious and shouted angrily.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely beat him to a pulp to make amends to you," Qi Juechen hurriedly replied.
"What is your relationship with Lu Yuzhi? Why are you so afraid of him?" Li Peiyu stared intently at Qi Juechen with piercing eyes.
"I'm with Brother Yu, I'm his underling." Qi Juechen dared not hide anything.
"Mixed up?" Li Peiyu frowned, full of doubt.
“I can’t call myself a nobody anymore. To be precise, I’m just following Brother Yu to make a living. You see, this fifth dimension was a gift from Brother Yu ten years ago,” Qi Juechen quickly explained.
"Could you tell me more about Lu Yuzhi? What kind of person is he?" Li Peiyu was worried because she knew nothing about Lu Yuzhi.
What kind of person is he? What has he been through? He was smiling so brightly and cheerfully in his college graduation photo, so why does he always have a cold face now, as if everything around him is irrelevant?
"It's a long story, why don't you sit down and tell me, pretty young lady?" Qi Juechen said sincerely.
Li Peiyu put down the showerhead, slowly walked out of the bathroom, and then sat on the sofa.
Qi Juechen quickly followed, his legs slightly bent, about to continue kneeling.
Seeing this, Li Peiyu said, "Sit down and talk."
"These are all secrets of wealthy families. If I tell you, can you not tell Brother Yu? If he finds out you were bullied here, he'll definitely beat me to death." Qi Juechen looked at Li Peiyu pitifully.
“Okay,” Li Peiyu replied softly.
"Thank you, beautiful lady." Qi Juechen then retracted his slightly bent legs and carefully sat down on the sofa next to Li Peiyu.
"Brother Yu, it hasn't been easy for you to get to where you are today," Qi Juechen sighed and said slowly.
Not easy? She originally thought he was born strong and omnipotent. Could it be that he also had his difficult times?
Su Wenqing previously mentioned that Lu Yuzhi lived with his mother since childhood and only returned to the Lu family at the age of 17. There, he met Gu Yan's mother and fell in love with her while spending time together. He proposed to her after graduating at the age of 24 but was rejected.
It's just a heartbreak, how difficult can it be?
"Does the pretty girl know that Brother Yu is an illegitimate child?"
He returned to the Lu family at the age of 17, so he was undoubtedly an illegitimate child. However, she was only concerned about his falling in love with Gu Yan's mother and did not care at all whether he was an illegitimate child or not.
“It’s perfectly normal for wealthy families to have one or two illegitimate children, but he’s worse off than other illegitimate children. His father raped his mother and gave birth to him,” Qi Juechen said with a heavy expression.
Upon hearing this, Li Peiyu was struck dumb, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. She wanted to say something, but the astonishing truth choked her, her body stiffening as if she were in a nightmare.
