"Tick-tock!"
Blood dripped onto the ground, and Chen Luo's figure stood in front of Wen Wan.
Facing the dignified head of the Wen family and his future father-in-law, Chen Luo felt no fear whatsoever.
They met eyes, their faces contorted with rage, feeling the terrifying pressure of the aura emanating from him, yet they did not retreat an inch.
"ah!"
Wen Wan suddenly screamed and quickly reached out to pry Chen Luo's hands off.
"Thump!"
The utility knife fell to the ground with a dull thud, and when Chen Luo opened his palm, blood stained Wen Wan's hand.
"Mo Lan! Go get the first-aid kit!"
Yelena quickly picked up a box of tissues from the table and handed it over. She looked at the blood with gentle eyes, her hands trembling, and took out a tissue to help Chen Luo stop the bleeding.
If Yelena hadn't been there to support her, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, her eyes filled with heartache and self-reproach.
If it weren't for me, Chen Luo wouldn't have been injured at all.
Wen Wan would rather die herself than let Chen Luo suffer such harm.
"It's alright, I'll handle it."
He took the tissue from Wen Wan and gently placed it on Wen Wan's wrist.
"Lina, you help Wan'er bandage up first. I'll handle things here."
Yelena nodded, helped Wen Wan sit down beside her, and quickly bandaged the wound on her wrist, since the veins in her wrist were...
Chen Luo then turned his head and gestured to Wen Tao, indicating that they should invite him to join in.
"Uncle, I remember you said you came to see me, please have a seat."
He took the lead in sitting down at the tea table, completely ignoring the wound on his hand, and picked up the tea set to brew tea.
The blood stained the tea tray, and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.
Seeing Chen Luo's behavior, Wen Tao not only did not reprimand him for his rudeness, but instead gave him an appreciative look.
He slowly sat down, his eyes fixed on Chen Luo's movements, observing Chen Luo's posture.
"Come, Uncle, please."
A teacup was pushed in front of Wen Tao, the rim of which was still stained with a trace of blood.
Wen Tao smiled, picked up his teacup, and drank it all down without any attempt to conceal the blood.
"Good tea, good tea."
"I've lived half my life, and this is the first time I've ever been invited to drink this blood tea."
As he slowly put down his teacup, Wen Tao's smile froze instantly.
"Young man, you've got some nerve."
Upon hearing these murderous words, Wen Wan quickly stood up and trembled as she stepped forward to protect Chen Luo.
"Father! You can't do this to Chen Luo..."
"Wan'er!"
Chen Luo suddenly shouted, abruptly stopping Wen Wan's words.
We must not allow Wenwan to clash with her father again, as this would worsen her condition.
“Uncle, I’ve never been very brave, especially not to someone as important as you.”
"However, if my loved one is hurt, I will use my actions to prove the meaning of a sentence."
"What did you say?"
"When a common man is enraged, blood will splatter within five steps, and within ten steps, everyone will become an enemy of the nation!"
Chen Luo's voice wasn't loud, but his tone carried a chilling, desperate air.
"Young man, may I take this as a threat?"
Wen Tao raised his head, his eyes flashing with a terrifying killing intent unique to those in positions of power.
It was a sense of oppression, a feeling of superiors dominating inferiors and killing at will.
Under such an imposing aura, even the worldly-wise Wen Wan and Yelena felt a chill in their hearts.
Chen Luo bit his tongue hard, using the pain to clear his head.
"Yes, you can think that way, because if you hurt Wan'er, I will fight you to the death!"
"What will happen to you if you threaten me?"
"It's just death."
Faced with such terrifying killing intent and pressure, Chen Luosheng and Wen Tao stared at each other for more than ten seconds.
Those few seconds felt like an eternity to Chen Luo; what terrifying rage was hidden beneath that dreadful silence?
If things really turn sour later, I must find a way to buy Wan'er time to escape.
As Chen Luo was racking his brains trying to figure out how to help Wen Wan escape, a cheerful voice rang out.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Okay, okay, okay."
Wen Tao said "good" three times in a row, but the murderous intent in his words disappeared.
She raised her hand and pointed at Chen Luo, then looked at Wen Wan standing to the side.
"Wan'er, your future husband is quite like you. You both have a bold and reckless attitude, like a daredevil. It's rare that you two look like a married couple even before you're married."
At this point, Wen Tao looked at Chen Luo.
"Alright, kid, you've passed the first test."
"Given your and Wan'er's willingness to die for each other, at least you are serious about your feelings for her."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
What does this Wen family patriarch mean by this?
"Don't you understand? You've got it wrong."
"The purpose of my visit today is simply to personally examine my future son-in-law."
In the end, the words "future son-in-law" were emphasized a bit.
Upon hearing this, not only Wen Wan and Chen Luo, but even Yelena showed an expression of disbelief.
How could that be? The dignified head of the Wen family traveled all the way from the capital not to break up a couple, but specifically to examine an ordinary college student?
Wen Tao tapped the cup in front of him, signaling Chen Luo to pour tea.
Chen Luo picked up the teapot and poured Wen Tao another cup of tea. Looking at the smile on Wen Tao's face, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared instantly, and he even looked somewhat kind.
"I must say something to you two young people: think things through before you speak, don't be so impulsive. Look at the mess you've made, bloodstains everywhere, how are you going to drink tea now?"
At that moment, Mo Lan and Hong Ye hurriedly walked in with a first-aid kit.
Wen Tao raised his hand, signaling them to bandage the wounds first. Mo Lan and Hong Ye bandaged Chen Luo and Wen Wan respectively to stop the bleeding quickly, otherwise the two would lose too much blood. The bandaging was completed in a short time.
"Alright, Wan'er, let me have a private chat with your future husband."
Wen Tao gestured for them to leave with his eyes.
Wen Wan glanced at Chen Luo with some unease, and opened her mouth as if to say something.
"Don't worry, I won't eat him. If I had any ill intentions, do you think I would still be sitting here talking nonsense with you like this?"
Chen Luo gave Wen Wan a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, I'll have a good talk with your uncle. You can go out and rest now."
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she chose to trust Chen Luo and walked out of the office, looking back every few steps.
After the office door closed, Wen Tao leaned forward slightly and looked at Chen Luo.
"Chen Luo, if you hadn't made any direct threats against me just now..."
"Perhaps, I really will kill you."
