Chapter 76: Surrender Your Life
Hearing Lin Chuyue's name.
Xiao Ye lunged forward, grabbing the man by the arm. "Where is Lin Chuyue?"
The man winced in pain and cursed, "Who the fuck are you? Let go of me!"
Xiao Ye's face was ice-cold, his entire body radiating a frigid aura. "I asked you, where is Lin Chuyue!"
The man was intimidated by his presence and was about to answer when a member of the Chen Family standing nearby barked sharply.
"Who do you think you are? Get the hell out of here, now!"
Meanwhile, the security guard who had been thrown in was scrambling to get up from the floor. "He's a madman! He forced his way in!"
Xiao Ye stepped over the guard and strode up to the Chen Family member who had shouted at him.
One glance was all it took to see his resemblance to Chen Li; he was probably a close relative.
Without a second thought, Xiao Ye grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him into the air.
"Speak. Where is Lin Chuyue right now!"
"If you dare lie, I'll kill you on the spot!"
The man's feet dangled off the ground as he was lifted, slowly suffocating.
As a member of the Chen Family, this was the first time he had ever been threatened like this.
The shadow of death loomed over him, inescapable.
The man struggled in terror, letting out difficult, hoarse gasps.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd erupted in a panic.
"Security! Someone get over here!"
"There's a madman causing trouble! Grab him!"
Several guards filed in, raising the iron batons in their hands and viciously swinging them at Xiao Ye!
The whistling sound of the batons cut through the air, thick with killing intent.
Without even turning his head, as if he had eyes in the back of it, Xiao Ye deftly dodged.
"You son of a bitch, you're looking to die!"
The guard who had been kicked in earlier drew the electric baton from his belt and jabbed it toward Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye sidestepped, lifted his leg, and kicked the man, sending him flying once again!
The remaining guards swarmed him, attacking from all sides.
BANG!
BANG! BANG!
Before the crowd could even see what happened, the guards were on the ground, bruised and battered, rolling in agony.
Witnessing this, the guests' hearts pounded as they immediately backed away.
They knew their own limits; none of them dared to jump out and get themselves killed.
As for Xiao Ye, he once again hauled up the Chen Family member he had just thrown aside.
"Kid, you'd better let him go! Do you know who he is?"
"He's from the Chen Family! If you offend the Chen Family, you won't be leaving this place alive!"
Xiao Ye ignored them, his gaze fixed on the once-again suffocating man. "I'll give you one last chance."
With that, he loosened his grip slightly.
The man immediately gasped for air, panting painfully. "I... I won't tell you..."
"CRACK!"
Done wasting words, Xiao Ye raised his hand and broke the man's arm!
"This is your last chance. Next time, I'll snap your neck!"
His chilling warning was like a death knell tolling from hell.
The man curled up in agony, begging in a low voice, "I'll talk, please... just don't hurt me anymore..."
"That woman, Lin Chuyue... Sister Li took her upstairs... to room 505..."
Xiao Ye threw the man aside and strode toward the stairs.
The guests parted for him, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
Just as Xiao Ye was about to walk past the crowd, a foot shot out, unafraid of death, trying to trip him.
The corners of Xiao Ye's lips curled up slightly as he brought his right foot down hard on the person's ankle.
CRACK.
The thick ankle snapped on impact.
A bloodcurdling scream instantly echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.
Xiao Ye acted as if he heard nothing, striding up the stairs.
「Upstairs, in Room 505.」
Chen Peng had already taken off his shirt and was walking over to adjust the camera's position.
'This is my moment of triumph. I have to make sure I clearly capture every one of Lin Chuyue's microexpressions!'
'The story of how I tamed this woman will be something I can brag about for the rest of my life!'
Beside him, Chen Li had long since grown impatient. "Are you done yet or what? As long as it's recording, isn't that enough!"
"Hurry up! When you're done, I'm waiting to carve up her face!"
"What's the rush? I'm just trying to get a clear shot so we can utterly ruin Lin Chuyue's reputation!"
Chen Peng finished setting up the camera, walked back to the bed, and with a large hand, ripped the cloth from Lin Chuyue's shoulder. "You little bitch, I'm about to show you what real pleasure is!"
Hearing his foul and humiliating words, Lin Chuyue stared daggers at Chen Peng, wishing she could cut him into a thousand pieces!
She gritted her teeth and enunciated each word, "For the humiliation your Chen Family has put me through today, I will never let this go!"
"As long as I live, I will drag all of you down with me!"
Chen Peng threw his head back and laughed, patting Lin Chuyue's cheek. "Dream on! You're in my hands now. If anyone's going to die, it'll be you first!"
"Ptooey! A bastard like you won't be spared by the heavens!"
Lin Chuyue spat forcefully at Chen Peng, tears of humiliation streaming from her eyes.
Chen Peng wiped the spit from his face, then grabbed Lin Chuyue's long hair and slammed her head against the bed!
"You shameless bitch!"
"I was planning on being gentle with you, but since you don't want it, don't blame me for being rough!"
"I'm going to fuck you raw today! See how you can act all high and mighty then!"
BOOM!
A massive crash echoed!
The locked door slammed onto the floor.
Before Chen Peng could even turn his head, a sharp pain shot through his lower back, and his entire body was sent flying!
The next second, he crashed heavily onto the coffee table nearby!
The coffee table shattered, and glass shards embedded themselves in Chen Peng's body, dotting him with bloodstains.
Chen Li froze in terror, completely unable to understand how Xiao Ye had just appeared out of nowhere!
Remembering the experts from the Chen Family who had died, boundless fear exploded in Chen Li's heart!
She stumbled backward in fright. "Xiao Ye, you dare to cause trouble at my Chen Family's place? You must have a death wish!"
"I'm warning you, if you dare touch me, you won't be walking out of this door alive today!"
"This is the Provincial City, not your Jiangcheng! This is no place for you to run wild!"
Xiao Ye didn't even glance at her as he strode to the bedside.
Lin Chuyue was curled up on the bed, her clothes in tatters. Her cheeks were bruised purple and swollen, and trickles of blood stained the corners of her lips.
Like a doll that had been deliberately broken.
"Honey, don't be afraid. I'm here."
Lin Chuyue looked up in astonishment, unable to believe her eyes.
It was Xiao Ye!
His arrival was like a godsend, rescuing her from the brink of despair!
'Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer!'
'Only death could have preserved the last shred of dignity for myself and the Lin Family!'
Now, having survived the ordeal, Lin Chuyue's emotions completely broke down.
Her slender shoulders trembled violently, and she couldn't stop the hot tears from streaming down.
Large teardrops fell onto the back of Xiao Ye's hand.
His heart clenched. He gently scooped Lin Chuyue into his arms. "Don't be afraid. I'm here. With me here, no one can bully you."
Lin Chuyue nestled in Xiao Ye's embrace, sobbing quietly.
Her heart, which had been trembling with fear just moments before, miraculously calmed down.
'This man's chest... it provides such an incredible sense of security!'
'It feels as if just by leaning on him, any problem, no matter how immense, will simply be solved!'
Seeing that Lin Chuyue's emotions had calmed a little, Xiao Ye gently set her down. "You rest here for a bit. I'll take care of the trash in this room, and then I'll get you out of here."
And the "trash" he was referring to was Chen Li, cowering in the corner and holding a vase in front of her for protection.
Watching Xiao Ye approach with a grim, cold expression, Chen Li's face turned as white as a sheet.
She held the large vase in her hands high and shrieked, "Y-You... don't come any closer!"
"The Chen Family's people are all over the Provincial City! If you dare to touch me, both you and Lin Chuyue will die here today!"
"My people are outside the hotel, too! If you know what's good for you, let me go, and I... I might just spare you two!"
Xiao Ye didn't respond. His icy gaze was fixed on Chen Li as if he were looking at a dead person.
Chen Li gritted her teeth and hurled the vase viciously at Xiao Ye.
Then, she spun around and bolted for the door.
Xiao Ye shattered the vase with a single punch, reached out, grabbed Chen Li by the hair, and slammed her to the ground.
"You hurt my woman, and you think you can run?
"Time to pay with your life!"
